According to a dispatch from Boul-
der the fruit yield of this year
is almost a failure in that coun-
ty. The strawberry crop is about
one-sixth as large as last year owing
to the extremely dry winter. Last
ha ar~csf t=
sociation shipped 2.70O crates of
strawberries, while this year only 500
crates were shipped. RaspbeTTies
Will prove to be about a two-thirds
crop while the currents will average
one-half a crop. Gooseberries have
been nearly destroyed. The cherry
yield is fair. but plums will fall far
short of last years record. Grapes
promise a fair crop.

GEORGE SMITHS FRANCHISE

The city council either has an abid-
ing faith in Mr. Smith and his efforts
to interest capital in the long-talked-
of electric line, or else it places little
value of the franchise We shall re-
gard the first contingency as the sit
uation, and accede to the council an
honest endeavor to support and ell
courage the best and most feasible
pan to secure the road The council
is composed of honest, Intelligent
men, men who have not only the in
| terest of the city bur that of the val
ley at heart, and IL is easy to believe
that in extending the time for Mr..
Smith to make good, they feel that
they are following the surest and
speediest way to the accomplishment
of work that means much to the
city, more to the Plateau country and
a great deal to the territory lying
between. But hope deferred maketh
the soul sick" and unless Mr..
Smith is, to use homely expression,
on hands with the goods this time, it
Will be no longer fair to the city nor
unjust to the present promoter, to
discuss other plans and devise other
means. The Sentinel does not be-
lieve that the building of the road is
merely dream. a fabrication of a
diseased Imagination, fit for showing
on paper only. 1t is a practical busi-
necc proposition one that will bear
investigation. and, we believe, one
that will resolve itself into an at
tractive enterprise for capital when
presented with force 1t takes some
time, the expenditure of some money
and the command of forces that can
get the ear of the commercial world
to legitimately promote enterprises
like this. The city council, by its
vote, has expressed confidence in the
ability of Mr.. Smith to work out these
features. Indeed, it may be stated
stronger than this. The members of
the city council, chosen as conserva-
tors of the city's interest, sworn to
do duty well and faithfully, have by
their votes, said to the public, Mr.
Smith is the best man to trust with
this matter, and we place in his hands
your property-the franchise, feel
ing that he will in no wise abuse the
confidence, misuse the property, or
| jeopardize the material growth of
the city.
Having twice received Ids endor-
sement we bid the promoter God
speed, wishing him not only sue
cess in building the road, but a fair,
handsome. legitimate remuneration
for his work. But this time it is

With Tillman as the running mate
of Bryan, and the pitchforN as the
campaign shibboleth, there would be
"A strenuosity that would give the
big stick something to do; and, by the
way, no man in the senate has risen
in public estimation more securely
than the blunt and able senator from
South Carolina. Then, IL Secre-

Railroads and the Government.

Who will dispute Mr.. Delivers assertion,
made in the Senate Thursday, that railroad
presidents have a perfect right to be in
Washington at this time, and senators an
equal right to confer with them on the sub
jeet of railroad rate legislation? There can
be no doubt about 1t. The subject is one
about which senators are seeking light and
surely railroad presidents should be able to
shed light upon it. 1t is for senator of
course to follow, or refuse to follow, that
light after he has seen it He may expect
1t to be favorable to the railroad cause and
he is called upon to act impartially as be-
tween the railroads and the people and for
the benefit OF both But he should seek
light wherever he can find 1t. He is to
vote on proposition which to many people
is exceedingly difficult and obscure.
Whenever the tariff is under revision by
Congress a howl goes up in free trade cir
cles about the presence In Washington of
merchants and manufacturers interested in
the schedules. They have of course a per-
feet right to be here, and should be here.
This is the place for them. Intelligent tar
if revision is forwarded by the discussion
which they provoke. They know the sub
ject, and how to develop it. Their personal
interests are always plain, and it Is always
the duty of legislators to make allowances
for the intelligent selfshness disclosed The
Dingley bill. which was an excellent piece
of work, was framed after frequent and
liberal consultations with the great bust
ness interests of the country.
If there has been any embarrassment
to railroad men in this rate matter it
has grown out of their attitude as under
stood about Legislation. They have been
quoted, first opposed to any action at
all by Congress, and then as resolved to
shape whatever became inevitable Such a
stand operated as a challenge both to
Congress and the country. The people
had asked for rate regulation by the gov
eminent. one of the great parties had de-
manded 1t in its platform, and no feature
Of the Presidents message received 50
much applause as that recommending it.
The railroads. therefore. instead of an op-
posing spirit. should have manifested a
complying one and have presented them
selves here as anxious only that the policy
be conserVatively fashioned and applied.
Then their presence and the activity of
their friends would have incurred Sc
we're criticism.

Railroad Smoke.

In the recent issue OF the Railroad Gazette

lives Is fully and discrmlnatingly discussed
apropos of the protests of certain citizens

those who assert that steam locomotives

Washington Correspondence Los Angeles Examiner
The appointment by the President. of
BENJAMIN f. Barnes, as postmaster of the
Washington post Office. has aroused the
bitterest kind of resentment among the
people of Washington. Barnes, who is now
one of the assistant secretaries to the
President at a salary of 5000, drops into
a snug berth at salary of $1,000 He is
the hero of the famous episode when Mrs
Morris was thrown out OF the White House
and dragged for nearly quarter of mile
by White House officers and a negro door
man to police van and carried to the
house of detention He was subsequently
sustained by the President. who now shows
his approval OF such tactics by appointing
the man who gave the orders for the OUT
rage TO one of the best positions ne can
bestow Barnes is from New Jersey, and
his one bid for fame WAS his melodramatic
election of Mrs. Morris from the White
House.

particularly at this time, when the courts.

much. criticism. A good deal of that criti-
cism is Undeserved, but the best way to put
an end to all of it is to leave not the slight
est ground for any of 1t. Unworthy men,
such as are careless as to their conduct
and regulations, are a reproach in any pub
lie station, but especially so when found on
