LOYALTY TO HOME PRODUCTION. In the late Fruit Growers' convention it was urged by one incisive speaker and followed up by others, that if California expects the outsiJe world to buy her fruit, and the horticultural business to thrive in this State, Californians must use more of their own fruits. There is meat in that suggestion. California does not adhere to use of its own fruit as it should. It does to a considerable degree consume prepared fruits put up in foreign parts, when a better quality of heme raising and preparation could be procured.

Tastes are more largely influenced by trade marks than most people think. A brand acquires a good will very often, that survives the worth of the article and carries its consumption along the lines of imitation, counterfeiting and decadence of the virtues of the original creation. In sauces, jellies and jams, this is especially true. As to wines the facts as stated In the convention are too well known to call for more than mere reference. It was set forth in the debate that Eastern people visiting California are amazed at this condition and reflect severely upon the loyalty of our people to their own, or rather the want of loyalty to home production.

But there should not be so much surprise after all, for it is true at the East also, that the people are not free from the disloyalty with which they charge us. Perhaps there it is not so flagrant, but it exists nevertheless. To-day Chicago and Cincinnati will be found consuming very largely foreign products put up in various forms and under the trade marks of established character, when as good or better articles of home production In Illinois and Ohio can be procured at the same or better prices. However, this does not excuse ua for net consuming more of the products of our orchards. How we are to correct this fault Is a question susceptible of many suggestions for solution.

have yet to hear of one that covers the ground with entire satisfaction. Persistence, great liberality and low prices on the part of those who are California fruits are means to the desired end. But even this is not enough. Something of sentiment and home pride must be cultivated also In this matter, despite the adage that tiiere is no sentiment in trade. Something like two years ago.

there came to California from England a scholar and an enthusiast representing Frulturiamsm." His mission was to encourage the people to eat more of fruits and nuts, and less of cereals and starchy fruits, and to restrict somewhat their meat diet. His claim was that good health and longevity Will thereby be conserved because fruits and nuts are man's natural food. Rarely indeed have we known of any such movement by a missionary, that there was not behind It a money making scheme. But with perfect conviction of the truth, we can say that we were not able to discover in this man's He asked for no money; he did not soiicit aid; he had no books to sell: and he paid his own way. He seemed to be sincerely and honestly striving tc forward What he conceived to bi a worthy cause.

It is true that his society publishes a small periodica', but we never hetarJ of his even soliciting subscriptions for It. This man was heard by the S.att Beard of Horticulture and lectured in most of the cfties and towns. He me with some little sympathy but less sue- CaSm On one line however, he struck a chord that vibrated sympathetically with the interests of all horticulturists. He urged upon them that they should aid him in spreading the gospel of fruitarianism.bccuu.-c- it would so large ly augment the home consumption of California fruits as to add gold linings to the pockets of the crchardists. That v.

as the only Yankee shading to the man's mission. In all else he lacking in force and push, or he would have secured for his gospel a better reception. But that suggestion of cultivating the taste for fruit jat home at all seasons did meet with response and some organizations here I and there resulted which have since died out unquestionably. We do not lin this mild climate of California eat enough of raw and prepared home fruits, and we do consume more of starchy and meat foods than is demanded by the laws of health. Perhaps something of the sentimental, therefore, might be cultivated after all in this matter, combined with the health conserving idea to encourage greater consumption of the products ot our own orchards.

STRAIGHT VOTING. The official returns of voting in Massachusetts show very clearly that many voters soon grow tired of marking their ballots. They weary of the very system that is the ohief protection of their suffrage right. Not that they would have it abandoned, but since they fail so greatly to mark their tickets through from the first to the last office to be voted for, it is evident that they weary of the detail. Something of this weariness has been observable of late in California.

The tiuth is, as the Boston "Herald" well says, the voters desire a method established by which they can vote straight tickets if they so desire. They have the blanket ballot in Indiana and in New York, just as has California, but they I unfit the voter to cast a ballot strarght. This is accomplished by placing the party tickets on the blanket ballot in parallel columns with a party designation at the head of each ticket and an open square within which the voter may, if he wishes to do so, place the official stamp indicating that he votes the ticket straight. Any markings opposite the names of candidates on such a ballot are. of course, not counted.

The "Record-Union" has for years i emended for just such a system in this State. When the Australian system was adopted, and which this paper Strongly advocated, we raised objection to the form of the ballot that groups all candidates by the offices run for. We I i. ferred. and we believe the people prefer, the Indiana method as described, so that straight ticket voting may be practiced.

There is nothing whatever objectionable, as we look at it, providing that a whole ticket may be voted by a single mark. UTILIZATION OF DOG POWER. The State Department of the United States has decided that the dog should be set to work. Accordingly it will give to the people a report upon that subject, showing how much work the dog can do, the kind of service in which he may be profitably employed, and to what extent he is now industriously engaged in various countries of the world. The truth is that the dog fs far more a worker than most people give him credit for being, and it is also true that we employ him less than any other peoples, except only those of the Orient.

He should be made to do some of the load drawing and burden carrying as in northern lands, in Switzerland and Alpine sections. He should be made use of as a motive power small mills, as in England, Scotland and some German States. He can be made to carry messages, to stand guard, to vehicles as in Belgium and he ran do much labor now put upon the horse as can be witnessed in Antwerp and Brussels. Certainly we in America have not utilized dog-power as we might have done, ami now should do. It is cheap power, faithful power; it calls for less care and attention than most other animal power; it calls for less output of original capital.

These are the ideas entertained by the State Department probably, since it has determined to quicken public attention on the subject of using the dog as a draft animal. The occasion for this new interest is, of course, the demand for stout curs of all orders for use in Alaska, and the new mining sections of British North America. unt Yon Der Lile is the present hero. All others, departed and living, are shadowed by him. He is a statesman in the Austrian Reichsrath, and when the row began in that body the oilier day.

he set about to separate the political antagonists who had fastened upon each other's throats. He had heard of parting fighting dogs by pouring water over them. Why would not the same remedy serve In the case of Austrians? Especially why would it not answer when the aversion of the average Austrian statesman to water was taken into account? He therefore daahed between the fighting fellows, and from an official pitcher poured cold water over their heads. The application worked well. The unted visitation astonished the combatantS and alarme them at the same time.

They withdrew to mop their faces and peace was restoied. At that instant the police i 'ashed in, improving the op- I ortunity the heroic Yon Der Lile had created. The Count should be done in marble by order of the Emperor. His statue should be reared in the chief park of Vienna. It should picture Yon Li! rampant, bearing aloft a pitcher from which pure water pours over two struggling men, grappled below.

State aud Coast Opinions on Subjects of Living News Interest. Humboldt Standard: The Spanish bull-fight is an innocent and amusing pastime compared to football, as is proven by the statistics. Human life is held very cheap and the human body of less value than that of brutes, when young men will rush into such brutal contests and call it sport. The record of eight deaths and 2IS(J serious accidents in four months en the gridiron ought to be sufficient to cause every Legislature in the United States to enact laws prohibiting the game. In football no record is kept of slight accidents, not even In the memories of the players.

The "World" says that "the list is interesting to medical men or to students of anatomy. It is a gory calendar of human anguish, an encyclopedia of crushed bones, torn ligaments, fractured skulls, twisted necks, shredded muscles, broken ribs, gashed bodies, dislocated joints, backs and chests crushed in, scalps ripped oft and jaws mashed; in fact, a towering monument, in crimson, to the everlasting glory of football." HARBOR DEFENSES. Contra Costa Gazette: Congress will fail to perform an important duty if large sums of money are not appropriated for harbor defense. War may not come at any time in the near future, but If the country is prepared for it when it does come it will save a hundred times the amount it costs in times of peace to prepare for defense. The wisest sort of economy which the United States could practice at the present time would be to put in a thorough state of defense on its seaboard.

If we are well prepared for foreign nations will be slow to precipitate a conflict. ADVANCE IN MEDICAL SCIENCE. Redlands Facts: The prompt stamping out of yellow fever in the South is another tribute to the wonderful advancement in medical science within the last few years. It is a renewed assurance that the days of sweeping pestilence are passed, so far as the enlightened nations are concerned. And.

furthermore, it is cheering to know that medical science is now grappling with human ailments that not long ago were thought to be beyond the domair of successful treatment. So hopeful are these researches that some of the most dreaded diseases may be robbed of their terrors before the century ends. INCREASE OF PRICES. Red Bluff Sentinel: It must be disappointment to those low-tariff advocates who were expecting to disturb the political atmosphere with groans about increased prices to find that the net average increase in prices of articles affected by importation is under tne Dingley law iess than one per cent, while the increased earnings of those employed in the manufacturing industries and in agriculture, which depend largely upon industrial activity, have been far greater than that. POPULISTS AND PRIMARY LAWS.

San Jose Mercury: The Populists, who loudly proclaim themselves as purifiers, began the attack on the primary election law, which was framed for the purpose of reforming corrupt primary mtehods, and if the Supreme Court faiis to declare it unconstitutional they will be greatly disappointed. Since Populism formed its alliance with Democracy it has become as hopelessly bad as the latter. KLONDIKE. TRADE AND SAN FRANCISCO. Stockton Mail: It is as certain as the coming of spring that with that coming will set in an enormous rush of men to the gold fields of Alaska.

Naturally th-se men should pass through California to outfit at San Francisco. It is odds, heavy odds, that they vrill do no such thing. The truth I might as well be told. The State is Jto be deprived of this increment of I wealth because San Francisco is too slow and sleepy to reach out for its share of business. The curse of the old native population seems to have entered into the blood of the conquerors.

"Manana," said the Don. "Tomorrow," murmurs the Don's successor, and snores again. It is wry evident that San Francisco means to keep on snoring while Seattle I and Tacoma and Vancouver attract the tide of Arctic migration. They have past ed a resolution in San Francisco, Th-y will probably pass another set in a month or so. The same tiresome orators will feed the multitude the same old chestnuts.

The miracle of the loaves and fishes is not a patching to the miracle of these chestnuts. They I have been fed to thousands for heaven knows how many years, and there are more baskets full of them than there were in the far-off beginning of things before the mold grew on them. THEY SPLIT. Los Angelas Herald: The royalists Hawaii have split over the question jof choosing a queen. They take a deal of useless trouble.

All the royalists from Hawaii to kingdom come cannot make a queen for the islands. Liluokalani will lose her pension if she is not careful, while Kalulani would better get married and settl" down to keeping houre in a. plain republican way. RURAL POSTAL DELIVERY. Los Angeles Times: Free postal delivery for the rural districts will go far toward relieving the isolation Which is one of the objectionable features of country life.

It will tend to place rural I regions in closer touch with the world and the world's progress. It will aid lin the dissemination of news and of general intelligence, -nd thus will tend distinctly to advance the standard of iviiization. For these and other reasons it is sincerely to be hoped that the continued experiments of the Postoffice Department in the direction lof fre postal delivery in the rural sec- I tions will be crowned with ever in- LEOISLATTON FOR OUR SHIPS. Los Angeh ss: It is the hope jof all American citizens who take an intelligent and patriotic view of the si nation that Congress at the session to begin in December will do something ourage American shipping sts. What can be done by a proper protective measure is seen in our coast! wise and lake shipping.

It is second lin tonnage only to the merchant marine of England. But in international commerce our shipping has grown small roar by year, until it is almost wiped off the fee of the seas. At this time there are not to exceed half a dozen ships flying our flag fit to (arty a load of wheat to Europe The laws as they stand make it all but impossible for us to compete with England in the carrying trade. These countries build iron ships cheaper than we can. and they are subsidized in so many instances that they have a further advantage over us in this respect.

FOR ATHLETICS. Marysville Appeal: The spirit of the age is for more athletic amusements. It must be admitted that such methods of diversion as are encompassed by outdoor contests are to be encouraged as instilling manly bearing In our sons, and incidentally as a means of much satisfaction to the old folks and the girls who assemble whenever opportunity presents to see the- boys contest in the various outdoor sports which are now so popular. As athletics Increase the era of narrow chested, pale-faced, cigarettesmoking youth will decline, as to excell in such sports requires health and Strength on the part of the participants. COUNTERFEITING SILVER DOLLARS.

Los Angeles Times: A San Francisco dispatch states that counterfeit silver dollars, of so excellent a make as to de- Ceive even the bank experts, are in circulation there. They are genuine, as regards the amount of silver they contain, the most noticeable flaw being in the milling, which is defective in placea The statement that coins of this description are in circulation is not sur-1 rising. It is probable that San Francisco is not the only town where they pass current, but that they are in circulation, to a greater or less extent, throughout the country. At the lowprice which has prevailed for silver bullion for some years past, there is a good profit in the private manufacture of silver dollars of full weight and fineness. At the present price of the bullion this profit would be nearly or quite 100 per cent, on the cost of material.

This is certainly a handsome profit, well calculated to act as a strong inducement to counterfeiters. The business is of course somewhat risky, as it is just as much a violation cif the law for private parties to manufacture coins of full weight and fineness as it is to manufacture them out of the baser metals. The safety of the business is a mere question of perfection of workmanship. Of course, If a counterfeit coin precisely like the genuine could be produced, detection wouid be practically impossible, and the business would afford a margin of profit far larger than that of most of the legitimate industries. A counterfeit gold coin is easy of detection.

As the amount of bullion in a gold coin is the same in value as the coin itself, there would of course be no profit in manufacturing such coins of standard fineness and weight. Baser metal must be employed, and that is easily detected. But the counterfeiting of silver coins will offer an attractive field for persons disposed to engage in that dubious industry so long as there is a wide margin of difference between the bullion value and the minting value of silver. PLAY IN THE ARCTIC. Two Little Girls Who Were Ice- Bound on a Whaler.

"The Christmas Ship," by H. H. Bennett, in the December "St. Nicholas," is a story about two little girls who were on board ice-bound whaling vessels, near Herald Island, in the Arctic ocean. Mr.

Bennett says: Dolly and Jessie found plenty of ways to play when the mercury did not drop down to forty degrees below zero, as it did, frequently, for days together. Sometimes the sailors bundled them up on Eskimo sledges, and hauled them for miles over the ice; at other times they v. ent fishing, dropping their into holes which the sailors cut through thin places in the ice, where it was not more than three or four feet thick. There were Eskimo dogs on the ships, ami the sailors trained them to act as pack-mules; two bags were hung on each dog, one on each side, and the fish which were caught were put in these bags; then the dogs trotted along very carefully, so as not to drop the fish. When they got tired they would lie down on the ice to rest, and would get up and trot off without losing a I fish.

Sometimes the dogs were hitched to sledges, and the girls were whirled over the ice so fast that they clung to the sides of the sledge to keep from falling off. When Dolly went outside the ship sue looked more like a little Eskomo than I like the girls at home. She wore the heaviest woolen clothes in the cabin, but these were, not enough to keep her warm when she and Jessie went on the sledges or went fishing. At such time she put on a coat of deerskin, which went to her feet; it was lined with flannel, and trimmed with fur, and had a hood which could be pulled over her head and face; the hood was lined with wool and trimmed with the fur of the wolverine. Woollen stockings and gloves covered her feet and hands, and on top of these she wore Eskimo boots of fur, and deerskin mittens lined with wool.

Jessie dressed in the same way; but her coat was trim- I mcd with mink, and her boots were of sealskin. Out on one of the ice-hills, old Tom Barks, the boatswain of the Blackbird who made it his special duty to look after Dolly and eJssie, made them a toboggan slide, down which their sledges would rush to sweep far out on the ice plain; then some of the sailors would haul them back to the top again. for another swift, breathless dash I down the glassy slope. In the ings there were lessons to be learned I and recited, for Dolly's aunt did not beve in "all play and no work;" so i Doily and. Jessie, too, had geography and spelling, arithmetic and reading.

Just as though they were not hundreds of miles away from any school. Dolly Studied French, a'so; and both of them were learning to play on the mandolin and guitar, for several of the Captains' Wives had their instruments with them, i and were accomplished musicians. one day Captain Ferry had killed a I great white bear; and Dolly and Jessie 1 had watched the hunt from the top of the deck-house, and had been so excited that they nearly fell off. The bear had I een prowling around the ships all th" night before, and Captain Ferry said be was going after it because he wantled its shaggy, white-furred skin for a rug. and because it was a dangerous animal to be in the neighborhood of the I ship.

So in the morning he Started off. going in a hoat part of the way. for the wind had caused a wide ere- I vasse to open in the ice not far from the ship. The bear was lying down be! hind a hummock of ice when the Cr.p---i tain shot ft: it did not seem to mind i the bullet, but got up and started after the Captain, who ran as hard as he could toward the boat, into which he Jumped, and the sailers pushed off. The angry bear did not stop at the water, but plunged in and began to swim after the The sailors had not got a good start, and the bear swam so fast that it got one paw on the boat before the Captain could shoot it.

Some of the Letters Received by tho Chief Executive of Seattle. The Mayor of any city is constantly in receipt of communications which make interesting- reading, but even Mayor Strong of New York cannot show up a more curious collection than that Which has come to the Mayor of this city since the present Klondike craze was launched upon the world, Men back East write and say will go north and work for ten years at $10 a day if the Mayor will only find some one to pay their passage West and north and furnish them outfits and food. Girls who are tired of the dreary home life of the East urge the Mayor by letter to secure them work at Dawson City. They think the Mayor of Seattle is the boss of that town, simply because Seattle is capturing the entire trade. One girl was sure that if there is a nice, respectable dance hall at Dawson City she earn a good living, "for," she writes, "I can sing.

and play on the guitar. Pa says I am foolish to talk about the thing, but I am sure I can make a success of it. We have entertainments in the church at least once a week, and I always perform. My friends say I am a born actress. Will I need any summer dresses if I come?" A woman who lives on a New Jersey farm wrote and said she could not make good living in the East.

She believed that if she could get several fine Jersey cows which she owns into the Klondike country she could make a little fortune selling milk. She says she would be so happy if she had a nice comfortable little place at Dawson City, so that she could be independent. "I am sure," she writes, "the miners would buy ihe milk in preference to condensed milk, which is not near so good as Jersey cream." "I am sure," said a Seattle official yesterday, "that If our lady friend from New Jersey had her cows at Daws on just now she would make money, but it would not be from the sales of the milk." Yesterday Acting Mayor Crichton lived a letter from three Chicago girls who want to marry three young Westerners. They give their full names In the letter, but Mayor Crichton refuses to allow them to be published. One of the girls says she is twenty-six years of age, weighs 135 pounds, has brown eyes and dark auburn hair.

Another states that she is only twenty-three years of age, weighs 120, and is a blonde. The third girl gives her age as twenty-four. She is. according to her own statement, a decided brunette. The girls say in their letter: "We are three prepossessing young women of average intelligence, desirous of meeting three young men, bright and ambitious, who are anxious to marry some good, sensible young woman.

As none of our own male acquaintances quite come up to our expectations, we take this means of making an acquaintance, trusting that you. in your official capacity, would be able to Una some one that you think would answer. We respectfully await an answer. Now. please, Mr.

Mayor, try and us three men, and we will never forget you." Mayor Crichton turned the letter over to Prank Oleson, Secretary of the Board of Public Post-Intelligencer. She Corrected the Professor. A college professor who prided himself on his correct English heard his wife remark: "I intend to tell Jane to bring a fresh bucket of water." "You doubtless mean a bucket of fresh water," corrected the professor. "I wish you would pay some attention jto your rhetoric. Your mistakes are curious." A few moments later the professor said: "My dear, that picture 1 would show to better advantage if you I were to hang it over the clock." "Ah." she replied quietly, "you doubt' less mean If I were to hang it above the clock.

If I were to hang it over the clock we could not tell the time. I wish you would be more careful with your rhetoric, my dear; your mistakes are curious." And the professor all at once became very interested in his book. City Journal. He Favored the Idea. "My dear," he said, as he laid down i the paper, "you ought to read that ad! dress by Mrs.

Mouser, the eminent i lecturer, on 'Woman's She aays that whenever a wife gets angry she should stop and carefully consider the matter for ten minutes before saying a word to her husband. That's I a grand Idea." "It is, eh?" "I consider it so." "And where will you be when I begin talking?" "Oh, I don't know somewhere down town, I presume; but don't let that interfere with you at all." And she was so mad that she didn't say a word for the full time Chicago Times-Herald. Bells Jangled Out of Tune." How much of woman's life happiness is lost for lack of harmony.
