How Mr.. Conkling Takes Tea.

Iheard queer little story of Mr..
Conkling from q person who had
good opportunities for knowing If it
was true. 1t is said that, when
making speech or in case of an
all-night session, Mr.. Conkliug
likes to restore exhausted nature by
taking something stimulating, just
as other Senators do. On such oc.
casions, however, Mr.. Conkling
never takes anything out of a bot
tie, he never disregards the propri-
cites, but page brings him a tray,
containing a cup, saucer, sugar
bowl, cream jug, etc., and Mr..
Conkling takes French brandy
after this unusual but high
ly respectable fashion. Mr..
Conklipg does not like to do n
shabby piece of business, but If he
deems it necessary he has 1t done.
If he wants to put himself forward
for the Presidency, he gets his
friend Jones, of Nevada" to
make the motions. II he wants to
keep himself in Office by resisting
Mr.. Hayes's efforts at civil! service
reform, he employs his "weak
brother" Howe to spout and rant
about it; If he wants II drink, he
does not exactly appoint a substi-
tute-that would not answer the
purpose-but he takes it from a
China cup and calls it "rea"-

bles at Sacramento. Who will be
there we do not profess to know.
We should not be surprised if an
exclusively Republican delegation
should turn up from Los Angeles
county. Any man who has chosen
to write out his own credentials
and appears as delegate from
this county, will probably be ad-
mitted. We have looked upon this
body as a sort of political "What
Is It." We feel no responsibility
for its action. Should it nominate
an exceptionally good ticket it
might com mend itself to the votes
Of Democrats, but only rare tact
in making its nominations could
give 1t any sort of character what
ever. We have heretofore ex-
pressed our surprise that the Demo
cratic party should be left in such
o plight. Were the game comedy

THE San Francisco Chronicle, the
other day, in an article which con-
tanned some excellent reflections
on wheat culture, made some state
ments which are strangely at vari
ance with the facts. For instance,
it gave the average yield of wheat
to the acre in Pennsylvania and
New York at thirty bushels. This
statement is so wide of the mark
as to be absolutely farclcal. The
average yield of wheat to the acre
In those States is not above thir-
teen bushels. In many sections of
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
the farmer is lucky If he now raises
eleven bushels to the acre. We
know whereof we speak. There
are, of course, highly cultivated
sections in which expensive man.
ures are used with the result OF
large yield. But the average in
the three States of New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio will not ex.
ceed eleven bushels, in an ordinary
year. The Chronicle, after making
this grossly inaccurate statement,
gives the average of California
wheat fields, for the State
Mt large, at eighteen BUSH
els. This statement is probably
correct, and it is q large average
for the United States, where the
virgin richness of the soil Is main.
ly relied on for the production of
wheat, and where artificial fer
filizers are not used at all. But we
beg to inform our contemporary
that the wheat yield in Los Ange-
les county is exceptionally large in
. fair year. Without any desire 10
strain the truth one title, we
should place it at thirty bushels.
To mako up this total there are
tracts that will go sixty, eighty,
and, in some extreme instances,
one hundred basheIs to the acre.

talking through the telephone with

a Grave Danger ana some Con.
ISOLATION.

However much our political or
other opinions may be disputed, no
one will be hardy enough to ques-
tlon the rare provision which has
characterized the HERALD's wealth
er prophecies this year. We have
steadily held that the danger to
the crops this season would arise
not from the paucity but from the
excess of the rainfall. We regret
to noto that our prediction has
proven only too true. The late
rains leave us just on the point of
disaster. Some damage to crops is
already reported, and two days of a
rainfall such as we had yesterday,
followed by very warm weather,
would count hundreds of thousands
Of dollars out Of the pockets of our
farmers. Some grain has already
lodged and much more Is in a condi-
tion to follow suit. The feed itself
10 menaced to the extent that the
older grasses are in danger of
blackening and rotting should
there be q continuance of the rains.
Fortunately the showers have been
light and no grain has lodged from
their vehemence; but the peril is
in the rank growth. which may
lead to theil falling over and crust.
Ing"
While much of the rank, natural
feed may suffer from the rains,
there is, of course, great deal of
grass which has not yet dried. The
growth of this would be stimulat-
ed; and, il the rains continued for
some weeks, we should witness the
strange spectacle of our hills again
mantllng with vernal grasses. The
writer has spent some six years in
California, but this Is the first year
in which he ever saw it rain a
drop in May. 1t may be that our
climate is taking on some of the
Oregon and Panama Characters
tics, and that dry weather here
will soon be tradition of the past.
We have never lived in a coun-
try where the disposition to growl
is more universal than in Southern
California. A little rain springs
up and slightly vets the cut hay.
Immediately there is a regular
Jeremiad. The Eastern farmer
has to encounter these drawbacks
continually. 1t rains there, in
the harvesting season, often every
other day. But they have in that
section self-reliant and industrious
farmers. They take advantage of
the first appearance of the sun to
scatter and dry their hay and pile
tup in cocks. We need little of
this self.helping spirit in Southern
California. Nature should not be
expected to do everything. There
Is no earthly necessity for regard
ing hay crop that has been rained
upon as irremediably gone. A
little elbow grease will often save
every pound of it. There would be
some consolation, however, even
in o partially damaged grain and
hay crop, to have it so out to the
world that it has rained SO often
and heavily in Southern California
that the people are heartily sick of
the visitation. 1t will be some
time before we can again be re-
preached for our drouths when it is
known, far and wide, that this
country is reeking with water, and
that vegetation is SO rank and wild
that it is clogged from its own very
superabundauee.

THERE is one thing that ought
to increase immigration to Califor.
MIA largely this Fall. We saw II
heavy travel to this State at a time
when greenbacks were at a dis
count of twenty-five per cent. and
more as compared with gold. Those
who came to California then were
obliged TO face very discouraging
drawbacks. Now gold and green
backs are practically equal. AS
California never has had finer crops
than will be gathered this year,
and as our prosperity never has
been grea ter than it will be, unless
some unexpected disaster occurs,
the removal of this impeachment to
settlement ought to result in a
large increase of our population,
from which Los Angeles county
