' jCeagrenmu Hopkins' Bill, 4 Congressman Hopkins has been study­ ing to some purpose the scandal growing Out of the silver legislation. He will in­ troduce to-day a bill forbidding gambling In money metals. $ Said Mr. Hopkins last evening: "I V*hink the bill covers every necessary point and I shall do my best to secure an early hearing for it. It defines the crime and STOW the penalty. Proceedings would be *$|jr indictment or information. To my recent events have shown conclus- fthe necessity of sueh a law.

VINA, Cal., Nov. 28,1890, Ot.il FRIKSKH ;--Will you please draw your most opaque charity veil before your eyes when you read this? Don't forget that this is the day after Thanks­ giving, and believe me when I assure you tfcat California turkey is very exhilarat­ ing to tenderfeet. Moreover, it seemf to me that more than a thousand Angelica demons are having a pulling match at te, my hair. The truth is, Mr. Editor, and || other indulgent friends, I confess that the Scott Family accepted an invitation ^ yesterday to visit the largest vineyard [ Our Store and winery in the world. When I awoke ttyis morning at about 8-80, a. m., there were five or six win? bottles on my dresser, labelled Sweet Catawba, Angelica, Porte, Claret, Sherry, etc. What could it mean? Furthermore, I could not for the life of me more than half see. I rubbed my sleepy eyes, struck my putty head and sat up in bed. I vainly tried to look around me and revive my mem­ ory. My wife came to my rescue, and smilingly asked me which brand of wine I preferred, and if I would choose goose on toast or toast on goose for breakfast. I indignantly replied, "Never you mind; I am all l ight on the goose, but where am I, and who am I, and what has trans-1 And OOF prices Will Compare fev pived?"

THE MEXT DAY. I see it all plain enough now. We rap­ idly took in the vineyard of 3500 acres, the wine presses, evaporators, storage cellars, and bonded warehouse, and theii had a leetle too much time to remain in the sample room. My fifty years old and better conscience would prod me if I did not remember that there is but one Sena tor Stanford's winery, and also Thajdf^ giving comes but once a year.

This is reduced o^falf before it is fit for use. In the dj^g(f||jng room, 1,348 gal­ lons of branny are made per day.

Nowhere else can be seen such centres of enterprise and American Tim as in Chicago or Kansas City, and few invite lovers of elegance and beauty like St. Louis. In going further into the "Great West" there are various routes e tourist may select, but supposing the is made from Chicago the great ing point of western travel, no line be found more desirable than the icago & Alton, the great "Three Link" route, and its unsurpassed connections Elegant cars, courteous train men, a first clam track, and every convenience that modern railroading employs is here found for safety and comfort. The coun­ try traversed is unexcelled for beauty of scenery--the vertible garden oi the conti­ nent. Be sure and secure tickets of the Chicago & Alton if yon would have, a pleasant journey. •'United States revenue officer is in charge of the bonded warehouse, and the rev­ enue tax is f300,000 per annum. We walked through the immense store-house where four rows of ovals tower high above us. There are in all, 789. Of these 500 hold 2,000 gallons each. The re­ maining 289 hold 1,600 gallons each. Everything connected with this gigantic winery, is the most complete, systematic and neat. A huge mountain of grape skins and pulp containing several train loads, is drying in the warm California sun, which makes good fuel. Several men are employed, stirring this great pile, to prevent spontaneous heat. The pay roll is a very ponderous roll, assum­ ing sojpue months a magnitude of $20,000. Senator Iceland Stanford has 50,000 acres of land here, including a dairy of 100 Holsteins, with three thor­ ough-bred bulls, who look as important as three Mormon elders. He also has. three hundred fine blooded horses. He has donated his vineyard, winery and distillery, to the State of California. A tenderfoot gets bit on every corner here. It is one bit for a beer or cigar, two bits for a shave, four bits for a tip, and six bits for a square meal. Current cash is alibi-metallic. Yon don't see the color of a greenback once in a month. Saloons are too numerous to mention. The li­ cense is commonly one hundred dollars per annum. Democratic saloon keepers have raised their prices on account of the high tariff on salt and shirt buttons. The Chinaman cooks are instructed to fry and bake all meals to a crisp to avoid the tariff on raw material. The Demo­ crats here all wear paper collars and biled shirts and otherwise drees in white on account of the wicked McKinley tariff on imported dye stuffs. The Mizzoory State Democratic Com­ mittee are political tricksters worthy of high rank in their party. Making the small tax on imported cigars a pretext, they have formed a trust company and cornered cob pipes. When consumers in­ quire why they have to put up double exchequer for cobs, these Democratic monopolists frantically, or in a grieved way, charge the blame to the McKinley Bill. The State Committee expect, as the result of this piece of fraud, to pile up a corruption fund that will carry the State for John Bull in '92. Of course the rank and file swallow anything adminis­ tered by their leaders. Any oily sophistry or well greased lie is relished. The light of truth and reason is too dazzling for their weak intellects and watery eyes Yesterday, we plucked from the trees some fresh figs, which was the fourth crop this season. We occasionally see an orange tree loaded with fruit. The cold­ est winter weather seldom registers as low as 25 degrees a£ove zero here. E. D. SCOTT.
