The Fifth Anniversary

Last evening as George G.. Richards
and his wife were seated in their pleas
ant home on Poplar street below Third,
thinking over the closing fifth year of
their married life, they were startled
by ithe sound of approaching footsteps
and merry laughter, and almost before
they knew it, just one hundred friends
had surrounded them and were con-
graduating them upon the fifth an
niversary Of their wedding, while
the visitors unlOaded themselves of
baskets of china and glassware, a piano
cover and many other useful articles Of
household furniture. OF course every
body was happy, but the elimination
Of their happiness was when the table
was spread, and repartee and Jest flew
from one to the other while they par
took of the bounteous refres hments
which mad been provided. The even
ing was spent principally in singing
and social conversation, when all re.
turned to their homes

IT Is u somewhat curious fact
that, Notwithstanding the DISPOSE
tion of portion of our farmers to
grumble at the non-money making
character of their pursuit in Los
Angeles county, corn has never
been cheap enough here to justify
the establishment of grain dis
tiliery. Notwithstanding the fact
that the rich lands about the Monte,
the Nietos, Gospel Swamp and
other famous corn regions, yield an
average Of from eighty to one hum
dred and thirty bushels to the acre,
we yet can't start into rivalry
with the Kentucky distillers be-
cause they can buy corn for one
fourth the price commanded by our
farmers. The same principle applies
to rye, which grows luxuriantly
Eereabouts. Plenty of our farmers
are boarding up their corn now be-
cause they are dissatisfied with the
present price, which ranges from
81 40 a hundred up. The North
western farmer would like to en-
joy such prices just for little
while. No grumbling would be
heard from him. AS it is. he is OBJ
liged to content himself with one
third, one-fourth and, in some
cases, one-fifth that figure.

pie but Americans would have been
stupid enough to permit themselves
to be wheedled into discrediting
that one of the precious metals of
which they are themselves the
largest producers. The idea of the
American Congress playing into
the hands of the bondholders and
of the foreigner is not a flattering
one either TO its intelligence or
probity. The quickest and most
infallible way of wiping out the
disgrace is TO remonetize silver
money, of the precise degree Of
fineness which made it lawful coin
money Of the United States before
the Garfield legislation of 1874.

in the restaurant and boarding

to be insured.
Rapid advancement is being
made in the development of the
mines and new and important

NEVER in the history of this
county has there been more feed
for sheep and cattle than now.
From hundred different diroc-
tions focks and herds are making
their way back to Los Angeles.
All our pastoral interests cannot
hep being largely stimulated by
the present condition of things.
We never expect, nor do we wish,
again to see the pell-mell herding
of 1ocks on a thousand hills, which
has characterized this county in
the past. But there will be hand
some money in flocks and herds
now; and, before the next drouth,
which will probably DE at the
usual remove of six or seven years,
we shall have adapted ourselves

ONE of the most successful farm
ers in Los Angeles county informed
us, the other day, that, in seven
years, he had missed but one crop
that of last year-and that he had
not employed any irrigation what
ever to bring this result about. He
says the reason why so many COM
plants are heard from the farmers
is because most of them are obliged
to sell their crops as soon as gath
cred. All who are forehanded
enough to be able to hold their
grain till the market improves,
which it always does towards the
Fall and Winter months, are well
paid. AS to the chances of losing
a crop they are really not any
greater in this section than the av-
erage risk of the Eastern farmer,
while the yield to the acre in any
of the cereals is at least twice as
great as in the East.

We are glad to know that tree
planting is proceeding everywhere
In this county with unheard Of ac-
tivity. The visitor to this section,
who arrives here ten years from
now, will be surprised to learn that
II was once a region comparatively
devoid OF trees. The people of Spain
have happy fashion, whenever. they
eatany fruit, of planting the seed
along the ioadways. We can't set
out too many trees. Their cultiva.
tion undoubtedly increases the rain
fall and their presence is never so
welcome or charming as in COM
paratively arid country. There are
few more exquisite objects to the
eye in this world than one of our
Los Angeles orange groves. Let us
multiply them on all hands. The

we are doing it wholesale.

THE great soul of the "hoss" ed
itor, who has recently been made
President of the Agricultural So
clety of California, still cherishes
resentment against the fraudulent
President. Boruck, like Chandler,
Is anxious to see the whole Presi-
Dental question opened up. He
evidently thinks that full inquiry
would result in consigning Hayes
to a sort of political "demnition
bow-wows," and he is ready and
eager to force the fight. He mildly
outs it, In the last issue of his In
valuable Spirit of the Times, that
Hayes has not shown that honor
aong thieves which the Radical
laSpirators had o right to expect
Nm him. Why is 1t that the ed
itors Of sporting papers are all
great politicians? Wilkes, of the
New York Spirit Of the Times, all
through the late unpleasantness,
was the guide, philosopher and
friend Of President Lincoln. That
great statesman and patriot was
worthy Of Wilkes's advocacy,
while Hayes is not deserving Of
Boruck's; and, therefore, he fails to
receive 1t. The precise connection
which exists between the turf and
the Cabinet is q reconcile one, but
that it exists cannot be doubted.
Mr.. Lincoln received the counte-
nance and support of the New
York sporting journal, and his adj
ministraticn was successful and
glorious. Mr.. Hayes,is treated to
the energetic opposition of the
San Francisco sporting journal,
and his administration will be an
inglorious failure. We have nc
doubt but that this second PROPOSE
tion will be as fully verified as the
first, though how either President
would have come out had the atti-
tude of the sporting papers been
different, is one of those Dundreary
conundrums that "a fellaw cawn't
find out, you know"

WHILE the so called Labor party
may win one election in Califor-
mia, we doubt very much its abil-
ity to do it. Should it succeed in
doing so it will be because of spec
ial and local issues, chief amongst
which is the Chinese question. 1t
will do so, further, because the
farming population in California is
small. Farmers are either Demo-
Gratis or Republicans. The Labor
party has never yet carried single
State in the Union although, 10 our
knowledge, the great Corypheus of
the Labor wing, General Sam
Carey, has been agitating for the
past thirteen or fourteen years. A
most Important element in the
national political programme is
the sixteen Southern States" the
solid South (Which are all pre-
eminently conservative commune
ties, organized on basis which
takes them out of the pale of La
Dor agitation. Another thing which
might be overlooked by the casual
observer is that, while the DEM
ocracy might suffer from a consid-
cradle detection of the working
men, it will be just the other way
in such States as Pennsylvania,
New York and Ohio where the Re-
publican party would be the loser.
