The Centennial Crowd For
eigners Notice.

Those who are least acquainted with
American ways and American charac.
ter were particularly impressed with
the marked respectability OF the crowd
that came together yesterday. Stand
ing in the diplomatic section OF the grand
stand, and looking out upon The vast sea
OF Well-dressed men and women who
listened with rapt attention, and what
was better, with evident enjoyment and
appreciation, to the performance OF the
Thomas orchestra and the grand chorus,
a member Of the German Commission,
who has only been few weeks In Amer
lea, said to me, in amaZement, "But in
my life have never seen so many OF the
better GLASSES assembled at one time.
We have very mistaken notions of you
Americans"
Then after moments pause he con-
tinued: Zone thing l wonder at, how
ever. You talk so much about your lib
erality to all classes, why have you
to-day excluded all the poor people? In
this crowd see nothing but the rich and
very well dressed" l assured him-as
was the fact-that men and women from
all classes were well represented in the
throng. This was, indeed, the truth.
The multitude was made up Of all kinds
Of people. Rich men and women there
were in plenty, but there were also
workingmen and workingwomen; car
penters, shoemakers and blacksmiths,
clerks and statesmen, lawyers and doc
tors and ministers, bricklayers and
| lager-Jeer saloon keepers, farmers and
| mahufacturers, were all mingled to-
gether in the good American fashion.
When this became clear to my Ger
man acquaintance he was almost be-
side himself with astonishment
what" he said, sthose Well-dressed
women are not all rich ladies; and among
those men all with cloth coats til ere are
many farmers, stone-masons, a nd cob
blersS But, Mein herr, where are youl
common people, your peasants T' "We
are all common people," replied. "and
we have no peasanIs." Again the gen.
tlemau looked at the American crowd,
and continued to do so, shaking his head
In amazement and muttering at inter-
walls, 'Der lieber Himmel, what a country

CONSISTENCY thou art a Jewel"

ED. HERALD: Be 1t remembered,
that about two years ago the L. A.
Eve. Ecpress opposed the plan to in
troduce the study of the German Ian
guage in the public schools, and de-
clared the study of the Chinese Ian
guage more important and useful
than the former.
Was the stand then taken, only
made, to be consistent with that, to
be held in the, then anticipated, now
present conflict of Races?
Whatever the ErpresS may be other
wise, it is certainly the most consist
ent exponent of the Republican doc
trine of "Universal Brot herhood of
Man." 1t is determined to remove all
diversities and distinctions between
races; and as the lower races cannot
be elevated to the level of the superior
races, it does not hesitate to debase
and degrade the superior white race
(of which the editors of the Express
apparent y sprangl to the level of the
least developed (after the Darwinian
theory still tail bearing race of man.
The more radical Evening RepubH-
can, in opposing the Erpress on the
Chinese question, is not so consistent
with their common cardinal doctrine
as it most likely would be, if the chi
nese were few shades darker in color,
and their straight horse hair like tails
would convert themselves into wool,
as the later article is wanted during
this Presidential campaign more than
ever, to pull over the eyes of the Amer
can people. A. E.

A New Fruit Enterprise.

A company is being formed to plant
a 200-acre fruit orchard at Pomona.
The basis on which it is gotten up is
novel and gives the poor man a chance
to purchase home and plant it to
fruit trees and have the sameiin full
bearing before the land and trees are
to be paid for. The plan is as follows:
A company with capital stock of
$4,000 divided into 40 shares of $1,000
each as Incorporated. The company
purchases land at the lowest market
price on four years. time to the extent
of five acres to each share of stock SUBJ
scribed, also semi-tropical and North
ern fruit trees on the same terms suffi-
cient to cover the land. The stock of
the company is then assessed only suf
ficent to pay interest and the running
expenses of the company in caring for
the trees. Already twenty-eight shares
of stock are taken and only twelve re-
naming unsold. By purchasing the
land and trees on such long time the
stockholder is enabled to carry large
investment on very small monied
outlay; when the holder pays for the
land it is worth double or quadruple
the price he pays for it and when he
pays for the trees they are in bearing.
At the expiration of four years, or per-
haps five, the orchard is to be divided
among the stockholders on the plan
laid down in the Hometead laws of
the State. If there is any profit in
fruit culture in this State then this in
yestment is one of the finest ever Of
