LOWELL. The death of James Russell Lowell re- moves from life's activity to a loftier piano one of the brightest and best of American intellects. No literary man produced by the United States has been moro many-sided. lfo was at once a lawyer, a graceful orator, a diplomat, a poet, a critic, a distinguished teacher, an editor, a politician—in the better sense— a philosopher and a zealous promoter of peace and the obligations of kinship be- tween the great English-speaking na- tions. It is not necessary to enlarge upon Lowell's place in literature; it is too bold and well taken, too indisputably in tho front rank to admit of a moment's parley. 1 lis services to the nation were of the host order. As cur representative at Madrid, and noxt at the lirst court ofthe world, by his manliness, firmness, justice and incomparable address, he won the esteem and respect of all England and Europe, and honored his country in overy action. In fact it has been only exactly said of him, when it was written by his eulogist that "_\"o man in our gen- eration has dono more than Lowell to '•- m< rican institutions and American character iv tho estimation of our Eng- lish kin." His unfortunate recall wili continue to bo a regret in history. On his return to England a little later in private capacity he was accorded the highest honors possiblo to bo bestowed upon a private citizen, in which fact the people of the United States rejoiced and took exceeding pride. Wo would place Lowell with Long- fellow, Ant among American poets and superior in depth aud originality and in patriotic fervor to any other the Nation has produced, not excepting Whittier or any contemporaries. For poetic humor and satire we can consort no American name with his as equal. His handling of the New England dialect in his poems of humor made his satire in political ques- tions and his philosophy in social ones flashing two-edged swords before which all attempts at reply or imitation went down. "The Couittn'" (in the Biglow Papers), fbr depth of feeling and ta touches of nature in humor, has no parallel in Am; rican literature. His dia- led poem on "Peace," \u25a0 few lines of which we quote Mr. Hosea Biglow to the editor of the Atlantic Monthly in the days of the Rebellion), for patriotic spirit and lotly sentiment is Incomparable and above any otlier production of the or I though half a score of brilliant American poets have ihi yen their barks In then .

The proposition of tho State Board of Trade to promote a scheme to discreetly distribute throughout Great Britain sam- ples of California dried fruit, is an emi- nently wise one and ought to be carried <>ut speedily and in all fullness. If ac- complished, it will be an object lesson worth a million pamphlets lauding our soil capacity. What wo need especially is a market ! for thoso products of California which are, I here at least, belioved to be of superior j quality. The better article willalways | find a purchaser at an advanced price over the ordinary. But the superior | product cannot be introduced except by j test. If, as is alleged, California dried ! fruit is almost an unknown commodity ! in Europe, it can only be made known | and given the test of merit by the object | lesson. If it is determined that so much ! as si'l,ooo is necessary to be raised to j gather, send on and wisely place our j dried fruit examples in tho European market, tho fruit growing and shipping i interests can weil afford to venture so i small a sum for so possible a great j benefit. If one-hall the claims we make for our dried fruits are sound we can go into that market with confidence. If a taste for tho product thus introduced is established, wo will have solved a largo part of the fruit market question, since the dried fruit shipments involve comparatively little or no risks, can be mado at greatly less cost for transportation, and placed for salo with immensely less friction and commercial machinery than are involved in green fruit disposal. Let ns hope that the scheme proposed by Mr. McAfee of Kern County, and unanimously adopted by the State Board of Trade, will be at onco put into o})era- tiou. The experiment is worth every cent it willcost, oven at tho minimum of success that will attend it, whilo the probabilities are that it will prove the most profitable investment ever made in behalf of production in the State. ANOTHER SWINDLE. Another of the foreign building and loan humbugs has gono to smash to tho tune of a quarter of a millionof dollars filched from the pockets ofthe credulous. The home building and loan associations are, we believe, all sound and havo proved beneficent institutions—at least we do not recall an instance of one founded and conducted with ordinary business discretion that has failed to prove a bless- ing to its members. In tlie very nature of things the build- ing and loan association must be of lim- ited jurisdiction, within easy grasp of all its members and related to localities familiar to them. The association that promises llat monej' loans without the security of known good realty repre- sented by shares, and that has its loans scattered all over the United States and managed by a score or so of local agents over whom the society cannot exercise immediate control, must lie hazardous no matter how honestly conducted. But in the present case the Chicago concern was started! as a swindle. A feu- loans of ?-3UO each were mado hero aud j j there far distant from headquarters ou ; payment for a few shares of stock. This | was the bait for the gudgeons, and they . appear to have taken it almost as soon as east. .Some of them reside iv San Fran- cisco, some in Sacramento, but tho major portiou appear to be In the West and Northwest States, with a scattering in States of the Atlantic shore. Of course theso investors will lose every cent of th.ir money. But they gain in experi- ence if they lose in pocket, yet when the next swindle of like character is pro- jected there will bo just a.s many silly Bah take the hook a.s in tho past. Perhaps not much pity should bo ex- pended upon these peoplo, for they put in tiieir money on a proposition to get back within a very brief time a larger return than it is possible for any legitimate building society to pay, or for any earn- ing capacity of money to yield in such a bus:; _4» Chicago has 1,200,000 people within her limits. The Chicago Tribune pub- lishea the Board of Health statistics re- j cently compiled, showing tho number of Occupations and the peoplo to each in the 1,200,000. The showing is one that ought to interest every one who seeks to know the cause of poverty. It is not sentimen- tal or emotional. It Is a simple, cold, figure fact that the just mau will not ig- e, and that the prejudiced man cannot. Die of the figures are: Meat markets, T7>' inhabitants to each; lawyers, 4~>o In- habitants to each; cigar shops, 900 inhab- itants to each; grocery stores, 377 Inhabi- '.stooach; saloons, 217 inhabitants to b; drug stores, 2,<XX) inhabitants to ..; oiiice holders. 120 inhabitants to .: doctors, 700 Inhabitants to each, conclusion tliat tin* ligurosgive us is \u25a0iiant with suggestion. There is ono municipal officer or employe for every men, women and children in Chicago, andasaloou for overy 217, while all tii- other vocations are greatly less to the thousand as will beseen. _*. , Ayh-knna, called "The Prince of Phy- sicians-" died aboat nine centuries ago. - grave has all that time been nes- ted and no imposing stone has been tl to his memory. Berlin physicians now propose to erect B great monument ins memory. It will be worthy of them, and bo historic justice to a groat genioa. lie was a native of the "Prov- ince ol the sun," rriimasslu lie lived un I life, being much involved in polit- iand spending no little time in prison and In banishm i:t. He was erratic, arbitrary smd a wine bibber. Hut 'ho wrote a treatise on medicine, "Tho < anon,'- that was a text-book for live | centuries, and Arab as he was, he was as among men. He contributed : greatly to ono of the chief of sciences, and became world-renowned for his skill '\u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0: \u25a0 .•.. Po par] in imporishable stone is to pay tribute to the lofty genius ofa remarkable man. Here is the Democracy of Ohio leaning up heavily against free coinage as a prop to a doubtful party campaign, while in Maryland tbe Democratic Convention sits down on free coinage with a dull thud. The Democracy is doing a circus act in this matter that is never under- taken with success. It cannot rido two horses at the same time if the animals go in opposite directions. Ex-President Cleveland cannot view the prospect with complacency. With his party divided, and he in tho minority on the silver ques- tion, he must eithor lay aside his con- science or contemplate defeat of any pos- siblo now ambition ho may entertain, lie is on the right sido to be sure, but blind unreason seems to have got firm hold upou the party reins in tho West, North- west and Central States. In the new Constitution of Kentucky, which the people of that State have just adopted, the reform ballot system is em- braced and mado a part of the organic law. Kentucky i.s put in tho lore front of political progress by this action. How's Your Liver? A very unnecessary question to ask a man whose skin and eyeballs are saf- fron-tinted. Of course his tongue, too, is furred, bowels constipated, head bothered witii aches, right rib region plagued with constant uneasy sensations. These you may tako for granted, although lie may not particularize them, because they arc among the invariable accompaniments of liver trouble. Are they chronic? If so, you maybe sure he (foes not, as he ought to do, take Hostotter's Stomach Bitters, the leading regulator of livers that arc out of order. Commend it to him as highly as you please, you can't say a word too much in its behalf, sick headaches, constipation, nausea, dyspt p- sia and the yollow hue ofthe skin speed- ily depart when this reliable corrective is resorted to. Malaria, rheumatism and la grippe are also among maladies which it remedies and prevents. _L wineglass- i'ul three times a day confers appetite and digestion.

LOWELL.

The death of James Russell Lowell re-moves from life's activity to a loftierpiano one of the brightest and best ofAmerican intellects. No literary man

produced by the United States has beenmoro many-sided. lfo was at once alawyer, a graceful orator, a diplomat, apoet, a critic, a distinguished teacher, aneditor, a politician—in the better sense—a philosopher and a zealous promoter ofpeace and the obligations of kinship be-tween the great English-speaking na-tions. It is not necessary to enlargeupon Lowell's place in literature; it is toobold and well taken, too indisputably intho front rank to admit of a moment'sparley.

1lis services to the nation were of thehost order. As cur representative atMadrid, and noxt at the lirst court oftheworld, by his manliness, firmness,justice and incomparable address, he wonthe esteem and respect of all Englandand Europe, and honored his country inovery action. In fact it has been onlyexactly said of him, when it was writtenby his eulogist that "_\"o man in our gen-eration has dono more than Lowell to

'•- m< rican institutions and Americancharacter iv tho estimation of our Eng-lish kin." His unfortunate recall wilicontinue to bo a regret in history. Onhis return to England a little later inprivate capacity he was accorded thehighest honors possiblo to bo bestowedupon a private citizen, in which fact thepeople of the United States rejoiced andtook exceeding pride.

Wo would place Lowell with Long-fellow, Ant among American poets andsuperior in depth aud originality and inpatriotic fervor to any other the Nationhas produced, not excepting Whittier orany contemporaries. For poetic humorand satire we can consort no Americanname with his as equal. His handling ofthe New England dialect in his poems ofhumor made his satire in political ques-tions and his philosophy in social onesflashing two-edged swords before whichall attempts at reply or imitation wentdown. "The Couittn'" (in the BiglowPapers), fbr depth of feeling and tatouches of nature in humor, has noparallel in Am; rican literature. His dia-led poem on "Peace," \u25a0 few lines ofwhich we quote Mr. Hosea Biglow to

the editor ofthe Atlantic Monthly in thedays ofthe Rebellion), for patriotic spiritand lotly sentiment is Incomparable andabove any otlier production of the or Ithough half a score ofbrilliant Americanpoets have ihiyen their barks Inthen .

What wo need especially is a market! for thoso products ofCalifornia which are,I here at least, belioved to be of superiorjquality. The better article willalways

| find a purchaser at an advanced priceover the ordinary. But the superior

| product cannot be introduced except byj test. If, as is alleged, California dried

! fruit is almost an unknown commodity! in Europe, it can only be made known| and given the test ofmerit by the object| lesson. Ifit is determined that so much! as si'l,ooo is necessary to be raised toj gather, send on and wisely place our

j dried fruit examples in tho Europeanmarket, tho fruit growing and shipping

i interests can weil afford to venture soi small a sum for so possible a greatj benefit.

Ifone-hall the claims we make for ourdried fruits are sound we can go into thatmarket with confidence. If a taste fortho product thus introduced is established,wo will have solved a largo part ofthefruit market question, since the driedfruit shipments involve comparativelylittle or no risks, can be mado at greatlyless cost for transportation, and placedfor salo with immensely less friction andcommercial machinery than are involvedin green fruit disposal.

Let ns hope that the scheme proposedby Mr. McAfee of Kern County, andunanimously adopted by the State Boardof Trade, willbe at onco put into o})era-

tiou. The experiment is worth everycent it willcost, oven at tho minimum ofsuccess that will attend it, whilo theprobabilities are that it will prove themost profitable investment ever made inbehalf of production in the State.

ANOTHER SWINDLE.

Another of the foreign building andloan humbugs has gono to smash to thotune of a quarter of a millionof dollarsfilched from the pockets ofthe credulous.The home building and loan associationsare, we believe, all sound and havoproved beneficent institutions—at least wedo not recall an instance of one foundedand conducted with ordinary businessdiscretion that has failed to prove a bless-ing to its members.

In tlie very nature of things the build-ing and loan association must be of lim-ited jurisdiction, within easy grasp of allits members and related to localitiesfamiliar to them. The association thatpromises llat monej' loans without thesecurity of known good realty repre-sented by shares, and that has its loansscattered all over the United States andmanaged by a score or so of local agents

over whom the society cannot exerciseimmediate control, must lie hazardous nomatter how honestly conducted.

But in the present case the Chicagoconcern was started! as a swindle. Afeu-loans of ?-3UO each were mado hero aud j

j there far distant from headquarters ou; payment for a few shares of stock. This| was the bait for the gudgeons, and they. appear to have taken it almost as soon as

east. .Some of them reside iv San Fran-cisco, some in Sacramento, but tho majorportiou appear to be In the West andNorthwest States, with a scattering inStates of the Atlantic shore. Of coursetheso investors will lose every cent ofth.ir money. But they gain in experi-ence if they lose in pocket, yet when thenext swindle of like character is pro-jected there will bo just a.s many sillyBah take the hook a.s in tho past.Perhaps not much pity should bo ex-pended upon these peoplo, for they put intiieir money on a proposition to get backwithin a very brief time a larger return

than it is possible for any legitimatebuilding society to pay, or for any earn-ing capacity of money to yield in such abus:;

Chicago has 1,200,000 people withinher limits. The Chicago Tribune pub-lishea the Board of Health statistics re- jcently compiled, showing tho number ofOccupations and the peoplo to each in the1,200,000. The showing is one that oughtto interest every one who seeks to knowthe cause of poverty. Itis not sentimen-tal or emotional. It Is a simple, cold,figure fact that the just mau will not ig-

e, and that the prejudiced man cannot.Die of the figures are: Meat markets,

T7>' inhabitants to each; lawyers, 4~>o In-habitants to each; cigar shops, 900 inhab-itants to each; grocery stores, 377 Inhabi-

'.stooach; saloons, 217 inhabitants tob; drug stores, 2,<XX) inhabitants to..; oiiice holders. 120 inhabitants to.: doctors, 700 Inhabitants to each,

conclusion tliat tin* ligurosgive us is\u25a0iiant with suggestion. There is ono

municipal officer or employe for everymen, women and children in Chicago,

andasaloou for overy 217, while all tii-other vocations are greatly less to thethousand as will beseen.

in imporishable stone is to pay tribute tothe lofty genius ofa remarkable man.

Here is the Democracy of Ohio leaningup heavily against free coinage as a propto a doubtful party campaign, while inMaryland tbe Democratic Conventionsits down on free coinage with a dullthud. The Democracy is doing a circusact in this matter that is never under-taken with success. It cannot rido twohorses at the same time if the animals go

in opposite directions. Ex-PresidentCleveland cannot view the prospect withcomplacency. With his party divided,and he in tho minority on the silver ques-tion, he must eithor lay aside his con-science or contemplate defeat of any pos-siblo now ambition ho may entertain, lieis on the right sido to be sure, but blindunreason seems to have got firm holdupou the party reins in tho West, North-west and Central States.

In the new Constitution of Kentucky,which the people of that State have justadopted, the reform ballot system is em-braced and mado a part of the organiclaw. Kentucky i.s put in tho lore frontof political progress by this action.

How's Your Liver?Avery unnecessary question to ask a

man whose skin and eyeballs are saf-fron-tinted. Ofcourse his tongue, too, isfurred, bowels constipated, head botheredwitii aches, right rib region plagued withconstant uneasy sensations. These youmay tako for granted, although lie maynot particularize them, because they arcamong the invariable accompanimentsof liver trouble. Are they chronic? Ifso, you maybe sure he (foes not, as heought to do, take Hostotter's StomachBitters, the leading regulator of liversthat arc out of order. Commend it tohim as highly as you please, you can'tsay a word too much in its behalf, sickheadaches, constipation, nausea, dyspt p-sia and the yollow hue ofthe skin speed-ily depart when this reliable corrective isresorted to. Malaria, rheumatism andla grippe are also among maladies whichit remedies and prevents. _L wineglass-i'ul three times a day confers appetite anddigestion.
