to appointpiily square-toed Demo

Seriously speaking we hope Mayor

ANOTHER mammoth monopoly
has just expired. The charter of the

the Provincial Government. On
and after that date the Provincial
Government can take possession of
the company's land lines by pay-,
ing for the actual valuo, without re
ference to business or good will.
The total expense is not estimated at
over half a million dollars. "With
these lines In hand, the Province
can then permit as many companies
as choose to land cables and connect
with the interior linc3. A very
strong popular pressure has been
brought to bear on tho Legislature
in this direction, whilst tho agents
of the company are reported to be
working assiduously to re-establish
the monopoly. The Direct United
States Cable Company havo secured
a lauding site at Port dc Grave, in
Conception. Bay, and will be pro
pared to land their cable at that
point in June next. "With that

CONSTITUTION MAKING. I
The Lincoln- Journal calls upon
the Bee to discuss "the Constitu- i
tlonal question on its merits, and
not upon the consequences of thede-
cislon that may be given." The Con
stitution question according to the
JournaPa conception, Ls the propo
sition to call an extra session of tho
present Legislature after the Octo
ber election, with a view of hasten
ing the process by which the people
of Nebraska are to secure a new
Constitution. Now, if the Bee is
to discuss this proposition on its
merit', it devolves upon the Journal
to convince the Bee that there is
really some merit in it
We presume the Journal will ad
mit that the present Legislature is
in no respect more favorably consti
tuted with reference to equitable rep
resentation than the Legislature that
1 to take their places in Jau'y nexr.
Nothing is therefore to be gained by
the disfranchised West in endowing
an almost defunct body with func
tions that should be exercised by the
Legislature fresh from tho people
elected for the very purpose of
framing a Constitutional Conven
tion bill. The next point and really
the most important one is whether
anything can be gained by conven
ing a Constitutional Convention in
January instead of March or April.
Assuming that the main object of a
new constitution is to give more
equitable representation to all sec
tions of the State by increasing
legislative representation in ratio
with our increased population
we mast determine first whether
these objects will be attainable
sooner by the Journal's extra forc
ing process than by the regular
way; and, second, whether the
forcing process will hasten the day
when this extra representation can
be practically usd.
In order to arrive at a just
estimate, we will first review the
forced process and then the regular
one. Take it for granted then,
that the present Legislature assem
bles in extra session about Novem
ber first, that they can be harmon
ized upon tho apportionment of
representatives to the Constitutional
Convention, and upon all the details
of the bill within threo days.
Furthermore, let them call the
constitutional convention at tho
earliest possible day, say by Jan
uary 10th. Suppose, furthermore,
that the convention is harmonious
and completes its labors within fifty
days, or about March 1st,. The
people must havo at least sixty days
for the discussion and consideration
of the new constitution. Suppose
they vote upon and adopt it, say on
May first, with a proviso that it
shall go into immediate effect. The
people may also elect a now Legis
lature at the time they vote
on constiution. Assume that
tho result of the election is known
officially within thirty days.
That would enable tho new Legisla
ture to organize about July 1st,
1875. But would the people, espec
ially the farming population, favor
a session of the Legislature, in tho
midst of harvest, unless some extra
ordinary advantage could result
therefrom? We maintain that they
would not, but on the contrary they
would for obvious reasons insist
upon postponing the session until
December, or even till January.
Now let us review tho regular pro
cess, Aye will assume that the people
will vote "for a constitution" in Oo
tober, and that the lesislature elected
in October will understand the
wishes of their respective constitu
encies. They assemble about January
10th- The Journal says tho Sena
torial contest will delay thorn, and
provent them from aoting promptly.
Now the Legislature of 1871 also
had a protracted Senatorial contest
When that had closed they Tero dis.
traded by the famous impeachment
trials, and in spite all these obsta
cles tho Constitutional Convention
bill of 1871 was approved by tho
Governor on March 27th. Now as
sume that the bill of 1875 is ap
roved by April 1st, and tho Conven
tion assembles by May 15th. Grant
them fifty daya for framing tho
Constitution, and sixty' days more
for Its disoussion and we can havo a
now Constitution adopted jn tlio
regular way by September 5th.
The peoplo may also elect the
new legislature and Stato govern
ment on the same day, contingent
upon its adoption. The new Legis
lature could readily assemble in
December or in January, and tho
result Is precisely tho same as if tho
Journara forced process was adopted.
Now we will point out tho objec
tionable features of tho JournaFs
plan.
1st. It involves a needless expense
for an extra session of the legisla
ture. 2d. It convenes the Constitutional
Convention and the Legislature at
the same time, and thereby prevents
members of the next Legislature
from sorving in the Convention.
This will deprive sparsely settled
districts of the services of their most
eligible men in framing the organic
law.
3d. It will cause confusion and
clog legislation. Members of tho
convention will seek to exert an in
direct influence upon the Legisla
ture during the Senatorial contest,
and the State officers will be unable
to give both bodies the necessary
attention and information.
If the Journal or any other news
paper can controvert these points by
indisputable figures, the Bee is open
for conviction.

som. One of the largest fruit orchards
in the Stato is situated between one
and two miles south of Yuba City,
and is the enviable property of S. C.
Briggs, one of the pioneer Briggs
Bros., of fruit notoriety. Mr. Briggs
purchaod this ranch threo or four
years ago, and commenced planting
his orchard from the best varieties
to be found in the East and in Cali
fornia, The orchard embraces the follow
ing trees) a large majority of them
bearing this season: Peaches 8,000
peach trees, embracing 1G varieties,
tho first ripening as early as the last
week in May, aud the last as late as
December. The favorite original
tree is called "Red May," anil there
are 4,000 of these trees in blossom.
Apricots 3,000 trees, all bearing,
and 12 varieties. They have been
nipped slightly by frosts, but if
there are no more the crop will be a
lino one. Cherries there are 4,000
trees, of 12 varieties, all large, some
measuring a foot in diameter, pre
senting a magnificent view.
Plums there are 7,000 trees,
and 15 varieties, a majority of them
productive this year. The 2,000
apple trees, of 8 varieties, are large
aud will yield plentifully. Pears
1,000 pear trees, thrifty and rank,
mostly Uartletts, are very promising.
Cherry-plums there are 1,500
cherry-plum treeSj heavily loaded
with fruit, aud a big yield anticipa
ted the first fruit of tho season.
Juno plums 150 trees, nil looking
finely. Tho proprietor has also
growing 1,500 walnut trees, 3 varie
ties, which look well. Tho oldest
trees are three or four years of age,
and the youngest are just starting
from dormant buds.
The ranch contains 420 acres of
upper and bottom land, 210 acres of
which compose an immense forest
of fruit trees, reaching a distance of
a mile in one direction, and throo
quarters of a mile In another, tho

and decorated ith thousands of I
variegated hues.
We have no conception of tho
number of pounds of fruit this orch
ard will yield the next few months,
By a low estimate, it is safe to say
that it will require over 100,000 box
es to market the crop. Mr. Briggs
expects to havo peaches in tho mark
et at least fifteen dav3in advance of
orchards In other parts of tho State. '
He will have but two agencies, ono
at Sacramento, for the eastern trade
and ono at San Francisco for thrt 1
market. The cost of this orchard,
including lands, goes somewhere be
tween S20.000 and S30.000. The
cost of land, without improvements,
was about 17,000. The receipt
thLs year, with a fair market, will
be immense, The value of this
property is about 50,000. Tho en

is about to receive J&tryeville Ap-

ALL ABOUT TIE WATEH 1VOKKS.
The central elty of tbe West
Quite proud of late has grown,
Ai d feels it ran no lncer wait
A gool sized pond to own.
The greatest cities of the world
Who wish to cut a swell,
At once erect a reserTidr
Upon their highest hilL
We read in the days cf Noah
That water wo as were tried;
The trouble was t ey bad noKwers,
An i so tbe peor 1- died.
Lt us then rememlr
If water worts we try.
To put la tenets good and strong.
And make our streets quite dry
And when tbe thing ls done
We'll celebrate at once.
Then ererybody in tbe town
win nay meir bats ol Bunce.
For all new atyles that rowarecct,
Some fifty kind or more,
YouM find Ibem cheap at Banc's
Famous New York store.
