OF Lne protective duties on Amert-
can wines, an unusually large
amount of cheap French wines
were imported into the United
States. These excessive importa.
tions amounted, until last year, to
a practical EN- mbargo upon the Call.
fornia production. We have passed
safely through the ordeal, it will
not again occur, and now there is a
quick and eager demand from all
quarters of the United States for
California wines and brandies-a
demand which actually largely ex-
ceeds the supply and which will
impart a stimulus to our vignerons
which will, before the next decade
has run its course, raise the value
of our manufacture of these staples
to millions of dollars annually.
Still another significant fact of
our situation is the improvement
in the price of wool-a guarantee
that our abundant pastures will be
profitably employed in the future.
1t is a matter of absolute certainty
that a cycle of depression in the
wool interest is followed by one of
yearly increasing activity, and
that for many years.


Never in the history of Los An.
geles county has there been such a
collection of thoroughbred stock,
embracing horses, horned cattle
and hogs, as we now have. Our
farmers are beginning to learn the
lesson of diversified farming and
the result cannot fail to be attend
ed by plethoric bank accounts.


Our outgoes will be steadily cur
tailed and our income steadily in
creased by the discovery of the
fact that extensive areas of Los
Angeles county are perfectly
adapted to the cultivation of wheat,
when regard is had to the seed
suited to this section. This year
Los Angeles county will raise
enough wheat not only to supply
the local demand but to afford
considerable surplus for export.
We have two first.class mills, which
will obviate the necessity for the
importation of single barrel Of
-four. In all the essentials of life,
our county Will this year be self
sustaining, leaving our wines,
brandies and semi-tropical fruits to
recruit the credit side of the ledger.


Last. but by no means least, of
the sources to which we can conf
IDENTIFY look for an immediate reha-
bilitation of our prosperity is the
fact that no man who buys Los
Angeles real estate to-day, whether
in the city or county, can fail to
realize one hundred per cent. in the
next two years. Los Angeles lands
are now dirt cheap, although they
are the best in the State. There is
nothing of the roseate in this view
Of the case. 1t is the frozen truth,

AS we predicted last year that fair
trial of the present system of electing del
egates would give general satisfaction was
verified at the meeting of the last Ohio
State Grange. Like other things, it was
only necessary to be known to be appre-
ciated. 1t worked badly in some counties,
because the plan of procedure was not
understood. And complaints or objection
were only whispered by those who failed
to comply with the law, or were ignorant
of its provisions. Now is the time to look
up the law bearing on the election of
State Grange delegates. BY the late law,
the election on the part of the Subordinate
Grange for delegate and alternate is held
at the first regular meeting in September.


If from any cause the Subordinate
Grange fails to meet or no quorum, or the
election is forgotten (not likely then, at
subsequent meeting, vote by ballot. Let
the Master and Secretary certify to the
Secretary of the County Grange, or in the
want of organization of County Grange,
then to the County Deputy. At the next
meeting of the County Grange, the Mas
ter should appoint tellers. The Secretary
in open Grange opens the returns received
from the Secretaries of Subordinate Gran
ges and announces the vote, ,and are passed
to the tellers for examination. The Sec
retary will notify the parties who are cleo
ted, and who will also be certified to the
Secretary of the State Grange. The plan
is simple, safe, democratic; gives all a
vote, and has thus far sent to the State
Grange representative Patrons, which we
doubt not will be the result of the next
Grange Bulletin.

The DEMOCRATIC Senatorial caucus
yesterday discussed the resignation of
Senator Bayard Of the chairmanship of
the Finance Committee, but coming to
no conclusion adjourned over until to
day. The indications were however
very clear, that the resignation would
not be accepted, and that the silver
bill would be left in the hands of the
Finance Committee until next session.
This is Senator Bayard's triumph and
a cl IAN back down of the Democratic
party to the doughty Senator Of little
Delaware. As the Democrats declared
that they would lose 10000 votes in
Ohio if the Warner silver bill was not
passed, we reckon they will now say
they will gain that number of votes by
letting it sleep in the hands of the Fl.

As TUE HOT thirsty summer is now
upon us it IS incumbent that people
should exercise some Judgment in
what they drink and the quantity of
the liquors they drink for their sum-
mer beverages. Thousands of persons
will during the summer die suddenly
or iniure themselves by drinking that
which they should not drink. No mat
ter how hot the summer, or how thirsty
an individual le ONES, there are cool
ing wholesome beverages which will
not only allay heat but quench the
thirst but we must not forget either
that many Of the 50 called cooling
drinks" are really heating drinks.
The julep or punch may be deliciously
cool on the palate, but at the same
time it is fire t. the blood. The less
the average man has to do with alco
holic drink in any of its guises or dis
guises during the continuance OF hot
weather, the. better it will be for his
comfort as well as for his health. 1t
should not be forgotten either that 50
far as iniudicious drinking is concern
ed, it is Just as possible to be intem-
perate in the use of water, especially
ice water, as in the use of Intoxicating
liquors, and that sudden death turks

There have been two hack downs by
the Democrats since the extra session
of Congress convened at Washington.
They have completely backed down
from the position they assumed, when


they first met and when they were


willing TO let the army die ratl.er than


to vote the needed supplies to keep it


alive. We hear no more talk now of
starving the army, though the Demo
Gratis are making show OF opposition,


but they are letting themselves down


as easy as possible. The other back


was from the position the party as
sumad on the Warner silver bill which


has already passed the House and
would no doubt have long ere this
have passed the Senate had not Sena-
tor Bayard and Senator Herman revolt
ed a,ainst it. The Delaware Senator
being chairman of the Finance Com
mite, rather than report the bill to
which he was opposed 10 the Senate,
threaten ned to resign his position. He
spake lik. Canute to the ocean: "This


far and no farther shalt though 60 and
here shalt thy proud waves be stayed, -
but unlike the ocean the tide ceased to
flow. The Democratic party of the ma
ton backed down from its position on
the Finance question simply because
Bayard stood in the way, and from
pres mt appearances it looks as if the
Senator vas to have his own way, for
the party cannot afford to lose his in
fiuence. His associates in the Senate
dare not force an open rupture with
him at the present time so soon after
having backe down from their posi-


tion ou the army and other appropria-
ton bills. 1t has already been an
nounc.d that the campaign in Ohio is
to le conducted on financial issues, and
that if the Warner bill does not pass
the Senate the Democratic party will
lose 10000 votes in that State. Wheth-
er the bill passes or not makes but lit
tie difference now, as there will be a
revolt, if it passes, led by such men as
