The Victory.

Nothing can be more certain that
California is Democratic-Democratic
from Governor down to Constable. So
far we have heard of but three pre-
cincts in the State where the Indepen-
dents have counted themselves ahead.
Chow are the mighty fallenw Two
years ago these pure reformers We're a
power in the land. They promised
with the prodigality of spendthrift,
and the people believing them in ear
nest, gave them chance to prove
themselves workers as we'll as takers.
They went into office; the Legislature
was theirs; they elected their chief to
the United States Senate and then
they initiated the Republican party
from which they sprung, and in their
greed for spoils, forgot their promises,
forgot the people and forgot their mis-
sion. No party can long survive apos-
tacy to the masses and in two short
years, party that went into power
with the almost unanimous support of
the people, went down to an ignomini-
Gus grave, "unhonored, unwept and
unsung," and on its tombstone the vo-
ters have written weighed in the
balance and found wanting" The
party of a million promises and not a
single fulfillment is dead and now lies
so deeply buried beneath execrations
which the people have heaped upon it
that it will never hear the sound of
the resurrection trumpet. We shall
hear no more of the Independent par
ty and its founders and leaders
BOOTH, BIDwELL, SWIFT, CowDERY,
FITCH and PICKERING will now have
to make their beds within the Repub-
lican or Democratic camp. There are
but two parties in California-the
Democratic and Republican-and this
year the people have pronounced in
favor of the Democrats. Let us hope
they will prove themselves worthy Of
the confidence reposed in them.

1t has been again and again asserted
that tobacco ofexcellent quality can
be grown in Los Angeles county.
Dozens of parties have been expert
menting in different parts of the coun-
ty, each ignorant of what the others
are doing. No one man has expert
mented sufficiently to become tho
rough master of the industry, and
where one can be found who says it is
profitable there is on the next ranch
another who declares there is nothing
in it. The weed will grow beyond
doubt, but there is difficulty about cur
ing it, and for most of that which has
been produced there has been no mar
ket. While one man will give the
assurance that he actually gathered
and shipped crop which sold at a
price below the cost Of production an
other will offer valuations of sample
lots sent to competent judges which
promise very handsome profits. The
accounts are conflicting as to the sue
cess or failure Of the different varieties
of tobacco, and there is such wide
discrepancy and so much vagueness
about the yield per acre that the can
did enquirer can reach no conclusion,
while Information concerning the
mode of handling is equally unsatis-
factory. Thus for several years has
this experimenting gone on over so
limited an area and the problem is as
far from solution to-day as ever. We
cannot say whether 1t is failure or a
success. Had ali three parties sent
their information carefully digested
to the HERALD the deficiency of the
one might have been supplied by the
knowledge of the other, and the ques-
tion settled at an Intimately less cost.
We should perhaps now know def
nately whether any or all kinds of to-
bacco will flourish and whether its
cultivation is sufficiently profitable to
warrant encouragement.

The report of the defeat of Mccoy
and LEACH in San Diego county is
confirmed. The people wisely conclud-
ed that two men who while protesting
to be Democrats and asking Democrats
to support them could delib erately
seek to defeat one of their fellow NOM
inees, were unworthy the confidence
of the community or the support of
their party. And so these two worth
les who should have been leaders in
the so called Independent party in
place of Democratic candidates, were
quietly but determinedly consigned to
the shades of private life from which
we trust they will not emerge until
they have thoroughly learned the les
son that treachery to the party is trea-
son to the people. The political apos-
tate sooneror latter receives his re-

Send in Your Facts.

Agriculture and Horticulture in this
section yet partakes much of the ex-
perimental. There are productions
that are placed beyond all question in
the category Of profitable industry,
and enough to know of the culture of
many other articles to render it prob
able that they will pay handsomely.
Indeed, d,experiment has been pushed SO
rapidly that the question is not what
will grow in Semi-tropical California,
but what will not grow. But there
are many articles of commerce the
production of which now attract at
tention that must ultimately be aban-
doned or at least which will never be-
come popular. There are drawbacks
being encountered in many cases
which will require to be overcome be-
fore success is reached. Farmers are
engaged cultivating that which they
never raised before, and familiar pro-
ducts are being grown under different
con ditions than formerly. The vari-
ableness of soil and climate render one
section of the county peculiarly adapt
ed to certain industries, and the same
industries may languish on ranches
only mile distant. There is there
fore, a strong necessity for mutual ex-
change of information among the far
mers and horticulturists, and that in
terchangeis best carried on through
the columns of the daily press. Let
every farmer therefore who has valu-
able information on any branch of ag-
riculture or horticulture send it in to
us for publication. We do not counsel
the precipitate details of mere expert
ments, which are but half finished.
Our people are already too prone to
jump at conclusions and to assume
enormous yields from exceptionally
prolific specimens. Incorrect infor-
nation and exaggerated profits only
lure the .unsuspecting to unremunera-
tive outlays. The examples of par
ties vaineIy frittering away their lit
tie fortunes in new industries are but
too frequent. Where failures have
been made let the truth be told in Or
der that others may either carefully
investigate the causes of the failure or
avoid the same losses.
To illustrate the force Of our remark
we could take the article of tobacco.

All abOut a Woman.

WINNEMUcoA, Sept. 3.-A shooting
affray occurred on the Western Emil
grant train just before arriving at this
station this evening. The partici-
pants were an old man named Benz.
Richard, and young man named w.
T. Worthington, both emigrants bound
West. The latter had been paying
marked attentions to the formers
daughter on the trip, liz opposition to
the wishes of Richards. Tonight, the
lovers, accompanied by another lady,
were sitting outside on the flat car,
when Richard commanded the young
lady to come inside or he would shoot.
On her refusal to comply, he fired two
shots into the group without effect.
Worthington returned the compli-
ment, firing two shots, both taking eff
feet on Richards, one on each side be-
low the nipple. 1t is the physicians
opinion that the wounds will prove fa-
tai. On the arrival of the train at this
station, Worthington was arrested and
confined In prison, the young lady
proving her allegiance by accompany
ing him there. They both claim to
have been legally married, while the
girls father stoutly denies such to be
the case, declaring that Worthington
has wife and three children in the
East. Richards, accompanied by his
wife and little boy, was taken to the
hotel to be cared for.

Chicago Custom House.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-The new Com
missioners appointed to examine the
new Custom House IN this city arrived
this morning, and an organization was
effected to-day and arrangements
made for thorough examination of the
ground on which the building stands,
which will be the first business of the
Commissioners. Subsequently they
will test the stone, and include in
their report an opinion on all disputed
points. They express determination
to conduct their work without any as
sistance from Chicago architects and
also state that they will not divulge
their conclusions until they have been
duly reported to the Secretary of the
Treasury. 1t has been discovered that
the opposite results at which the two
previous Commissions arrived. are due
to the fact that they had different data
from which to work. 1t is presumed
that the present Commission will set
tie this point.
Quincy Shooting Scrape.
QUINCY, Illinois, Sept. 3.-Judge
Mitchell who was shot yesterday by
Chatten, is suffering seriously from
the ball in his thigh which the sur
geons here are unable to find. The
two Chattens are under bond and they
have also sworn out warrant for
Mitchell's arrest. The Church trial
out of which the shooting grew still
goes ON, and the contents of the letter
from Chatten's wife to Hoffman were
put in evidence which is fully up to
the Beecher-Tilton standard of gush.
Dispositions of Rushville witnesses
were also read and were damaging to
Hoffman. His reputation at Rush
vile was not the best for purity if wit
nesses are to be believed.

trouble has been confined to the radi

preservation.
The latest news is that all the roads

Daughtre has cabled to Privy Coun-

likely that Orangeman in Ontario will

ever may be the legal question, the
thing is now on an entirely different
footing, and that there are measures
of natural expediency, which are in
imminent danger. There is now no
other law than that of prudence" The

desire actually to force the agents of
