sherman Hoar in War Time.

When sherman Hoar was running for
congress his opponent was Mr.. Fox of
Cambridge, and Mr.. Hoar called his own
campaign 1.-The Fox chase" The older lead
ers and local men, relates the Boston
Herald, gave Mr.. Hoar points on what TO
speak about and what local character or
subjects he might have to run up against
or to argue about. In WATERFOWL, he was
told, there was an old gentleman, a veteran
Of the civil war, who dated everything that
ever happened from the war. Nothing inl-
portant he thought, had ever happened
since.
The old soldier attended every public
meeting, whether republican or democratic,
seating himself conspicuously in the front
row, where he could both see and hear bet
ter. Mr.. Hoar was told that this old gen.
tleman was sure to be present to hear him
speak and that he probably would, as was
his custom, ask him some questions about
the war and whether or not he had done
anything toward saving the country, re-
gardless Of whether Mr.. Hoar was old
enough to know personally anything Of
the great contest
Mr.. Hoar, sure enough, was interrupted
in the middle OF his speech by the veteran,
who said:
what want to know is, What were you
doing during the WARP Did you hght for
your country. or didn't your That's what
I want you to tell me and the rest or the
folks here. What were you doin' along IN

WELL" said Mr.. Hoar, with a kindly
smile and a boyish twinkle in his eyes. II
guess 1 was suffering about as much as
you were, for along in 81 and 90 1 was
teething"
And the veteran, as the shouts OF laugh
ter went up, was unable to say single
word that could be heard, though he kept
on talking for some time.

Concerning Hearst

There were conditions in the political
situation in the Empire State that en-
eouraged Hearst to mis- desperate at
tempt. Thousands OF Republicans at
the last municipal election in New York
City voted against Ivens, the Repub-
of Hearst because they We're disgusted
at what they took to be indications OF
ring rule in the Republican party. Had
the election of Hearst been the only
way to effect a change many might, as
they did before, have gone so far as to
vote for Hearst-charlatan and ninny
though they believe him TO be- The
nomination of Hughes by the Repub-
licans has removed all temptation to
take such desperate eourse.-Milwau-
kee Wisconsin
Mr.. Hearst's charges OF fraud in the
Mayoralty election were not supported
by proofs that convinced the courts or
the public mind. But the frauds at
Buffalo stand seIf-proved. -
Who did It? Why. Murphy; the very
man who must have been the respon-
sible author Of the frauds which. ac-
cording to Mr.. Hearst. were committed
in the New York election last fall. Can
it be that this champion of the peo-
pies will. this boastful defender OF the
masses, will consent to be a beneficiary
of those abominable practices that he
so condemned when ne fancied that
they were used against him? He called
upon Mayor Mcclellan to give up his
office. he tried TO take il away from him
by court procedure What are the peo-
pie to think of man who, after de-
nouncing theft in all four corners Of
the State. possesses himself Of the NOM
ination for Governor by the most out
rageous stealing New York Times
Hearst has denounced Murphy as q
subject for the penitentiary and Muir
ply has posted Hearst as an anarchist.
But that was before Mayor Mcclellan
on his reelection repudiated Murphy
and defeated Hearst. common enmity
may account for the Murphy-Hearst
alliance. but 1t is more palpably due
to personal ambitions. Hearst wanted
the Governorship and was ready to
swallow Murphyism for Tammany's
votes. Murphy wanted Hearst's aid to
keep control of Tammany against Nc
Clellan- The issue before the voters is
therefore plain. Hughes represents
clean government Hearst represents
himself and Murphyism. The old-line
Democrats will have no choice but to
vote for Hughes. No Republican need
be ashamed to vote for his candidate.
Both on personal records and on is
sues there should be no doubt OF the
result.-Pittsburg Dispatch

CALIFORNIA; Great Fruit Industry

was made between the products of es-
adjustments conducted as factories
and those of farms.
Such division could not be made
in 1905, as no census of agriculture
was taken in that year; consequently
1t was decided to include in statistics
of manufactures for that year the fig
ures of the entire industry as returned
by the packers, Notwithstanding the
fact that much of their output was the
rehandled product of the grower.
From a combination of the figures
of the census of 1900 for the industry
as reported by both agriculture and
manufactures, total production of
dried and preserved fruits, reduced to
pound basis. is found to be 332.445,-
Az pounds. Comparing this total with
the 455,71s,051 pounds reported in 1905,
it appears that there was an increase
of 123.273,579 pounds, or S71 per cent

~ ALIFORNIA is the greatest State
4 in the Union for canning and pre-
Y ! serving fruits. This is shown by
the bulletin of the census of
manufacturers for 1905. According to
the 1900 census California ranked third
in the line of increase in amount of
manufactures, says the Redlands Facts.
This years bulletin shows that this
State is now first in increase in manu-
features.
Almost all varieties of fruits of the
best qualities are grown in abundance
in California, and great quantities of
these fruits are canned. dried or pre-
served in some manner. The State has
long been famous for its raisins prunes,
apricots, dried apples and dried pears,
and its dried peaches, cherries and
other fruits, which are found in nearly
every market of the world
