and imported into this country. It is true that Bermuda ships some onions into this country, but not enough to affect the demand.
 In the second place, the quality of the Bermuda onion lifts it far above any other variety of onion, and the consumer who has once had chance to get the genuine Bermuda will always be customer whenever the grower can put the genuine article on his market. No onion iii existence has such deli cate flavor as the Bermuda. and for this reason the demand is always good for it, even those who dislike the strong rank otlor of the ordinary varieties, con- slider the Bermuda choice delicacy, owing to it's mildness and flavor. The fact that the Bermuda onion can be grown only i'll the warmest part of the United States makes it impossible for it to get into competition with crops farther north, as is the case with almost every other trucking crop now grown. This insures freedom from competition and enables the grower to choose his own time for marketing his product. The crop is not perishable and need not be rushed on the market as soon as 1t natures, as is the case with other yege- table crops. If properly harvested and stored, Bermuda onions wlll keep for months in perfect condition after being taken from the ground. Bermuda onions have been kept from April until October in first-class condition, and this fact is of the utmost importance to the grower, as those who have handled perishable vegetables can readily re- aliZe
 These facts should be carefully con sidered by the growers, and while we do not advise all the vegetable growers to grow Bermuda onions and nothing else, we think it simply good business common sense for them to use this crop whenever possible, as an alternate with other crops, and as d means to avoid putting all their dependence in one single crop, as too many of them have done heretofore.
 car of tomatoes, cabbage, or other similar vegetable, shipped east, must, on account ot it's perishable nature, be

In the case of a car If Der muda onions there is no such necessity, for the onions can be delivered to the most distant parts of the United States or Canada. or sold for export, and be kept in stock by the dealers as d staple article which will absolutely prevent the demoralizatiom of prices and cOnse- quent loss to the producer. The problem of harvesting the crop properly and storing 1t so as to get the full bene- fit O. it's keeping qualities must be studied out, and when this Is done the grower will find that he can hold his crop and dispose of it from time to time on d favorable market. Up to the present. time, however, the demand has been'so strong that there has been no necessity for holding back or storing any of the crop, as the buyers have taken the crops out of the growers hands before the onions were really ripe enough to be taken from the ground

 STATE DEPART MENT,

 Imperial, Cal.
 Have instructed Ambassador at Mex ic0 to have Robinson ease investigated.
 (SignrdD 4. A. ADEE,
 Acting Secretary. Nc, that the Department of state has hold of the matter, and the Mexi- can government is being stirred to look into it from the Mexican capital, We may expect tIe matter to receive prompt attention. We are now inform ed that the man who made the charge on which Robinson, the prisoner, is held, Is well known character named Eieistaud, a carpenter, who has lived along the border for a good many years, a drinking, dlssolute fellow and that he Is now either in CalexicO or MeXicali or that vicinity, also that lie has with drawn all complaint against the ac- cnsed and asked to have him released, but this the Mexican authorities refuse to,l0.
 Fhe more this ease is looked into the more iIeinuns the treatment accorded this man shows to le. The state of affairs seeuIs to be that he is held in jail without any charge whatever against him. That the only excnse for keeping him in confinement and tortur- ing him in such an inhuman manner is because of the letharey of Mexican otficialdon WliO are too inert and lazy t" make an order for his release. It is reported en good authority that the offer was made to release him and deliver liiin on this side of the line, if one hundred dollars would be paid This offer is said to have been made either by Mexican officials, or else by parties clainling tG act for them Is it possible this man has been held in this "honlinahle place and tortured almost beyond endurance for more than seven months, without any charge of crime against him. simply for the purpose of enabling hangers-on in the Mexican 2overnment to sell his liberty to symp;l- thetic people in this country? Have We d second Morocco at our door?
 The investigation of the Robinson case promises to disclose facts oI tie avest importance, involving men holdIng high positions in the Mexican government.

THE ROBINSON CASE
Action Taken By The Government At
 Washington
Case or An Amesscan Citizen WronguHy Held In Mexscah
 Prison To Be Investigated By The State Department

TI,e disclosures concerning the Amer Ican citizen that lqas been incarcerated in ta,e box-car iail at Alexicali, which were ,sal,liS4aed in tHfe PRESS last week, were tlae subject of much comment and not little forcibly expressed lndlgn"- fion among oar citizens during the past week. As soon as the PRESS containing the facts was out, little groups of men conld be seen earnestly discussing ways and means to effect the release of the imprisoned man. As the facts were iiscuSsei indignation lan high ana It was boldly proposed to organize rei'ei. marty invade Mexico, overpOwer the gaards and take the man out by f"rce- However. better counsel prevailed and it was agreed to make one more appeal to the government at Washington, and to await its action
 For the purpose of securing all avail able information SO as to proceed m the nroper manner, the editor oI the PRESS went to Los Angeles last Sunday. On Monday we took mp the matter with representatives and officials of our gov ernment and also with the assistant Tn tbe office of the Mexican consulate
 From the latter official We learned the status of the ease from the Mexican st.lndpoint. They state that the man was arrested on complaint of another American citizen, who charged him with house breaking and grand larceny, in going into his tent and stealing his shoes. The accusing witness and the prisoner had been drinking and carous- ing in Mexicali for some days and aupeared to have had some trouble, and probably the arrest was spite work on the part of the accuser, for the next day after the arrest he came and asked to withdraw the charge and let the man be turned loose. This the Mexican laws could not permit, fir tine man Was accus,-d of crime that could not be tried before the police jadge at MeXlcail but must be tried by the jndge of the District of Lower California at Ensem- ala. Therefore the judge at MeXlcal gould not release him. He also stated that the last he heard from there the accusing witness had disappeared. We asked nina if the man couid be released on bonds and he said no, there wlS n0thnig of that sort in Mexico.
 He also said tue ease could be tried Ily Correspondence, but the judge at Rnsenada lad been removed about tltree months ago. and SO far as he ku,-w. no sHcee-sor iaad been appointed and tl,at nothing conld b. done under tils- circuinStauet.s more than was being mr.

machines before the racers reached the first quar-
ter pole.
In the first five miles Jay did not succeed in in

draw ahead the straightaway, but lose ground to
Oidfield on the turns. After the fifth mile how
ever jay steadily increased his lead, and more
than an eighth OF mile ahead at the finish. Jays
time for the ten miles 1886 35 and his best mile
was the last, which he made in 56 20 seconds.
In the first heat for the $500 trophy Barney Old

Saratoga, N Y. Aug. THE second week
of the Saratoga meeting began to-day with a
throng i'm attendance that must have been i'm
1nensely satisfying TO those most interested in
its success.
Considering the extremely ordinary programme
offered, the crowd. it must be admitted. was
out of proportion to the card, but number of
horses that were well played sent the midsum-
1ner patrons home in an amisble frame of mind.
The first running of the Catskill selling stake,
for the older group of platers, at seven furlongs
was the only race of the day digniied with a
title, but. unlike many similar stakes. it brought
about the most spirited contest of the afternoon.

effort to place her where he could make his run

doing this. and the gameness of his mount did
fail him
