LONDON, April 27th.-There is
no material change in the war sit
uation this week. The game of di-
plomatic chess still proceeds with
out definite result. Meanwhile
Russia holds on to all her terrific
rial gains, though ready to yield
much when it will insure peace.
England continues to occupy her
position of diplomatic isolation.
Her hopes to secure an Austrian
alliance have failed as everybody
now admits and your correspondent
predicted. Austria cannot afford
the responsibility of war and has
nothing to gain by it which she
cannot obtain at less expense by
non-intervention between Eng
land and Russia, until hostile
blows are actively exchanged,
when she can extort from the Gar
her own terms. All the powers are
becoming tired of suspense and dis
trust, which is nearly as damaging
as war itself. They be-.
lisve England is temporizing
and shutting to wear out
rnce. This hope is sustained by the
failure of the efforts to place an
other Russian loan recently made
in Berlin. The popular impulse for
war has somewhat abated here and
the tone Of the press is less belliger-
ent. THERE'S strong feeling that
the British ministry is too purely
Technical in its objections to Rus
sia's proposals on the continent.
This sentiment amounts to a sense
of resentment and England is los
ing her moral power accordingly.
II she persists in war now she will
be as completely without sy mpathy
as allies, while it is difficult to see
how she can honorably retire from
her injudlcious committals to war.
Calm thinkers still believe she will
find her road to peace through Bis
marck's aid. The only serious
counter view is based on the Brit
ish theory that her issue with Rus
STA can only be postponed at best
and that she had better fight now
while Russia is comparatively
crippled and exhausted.

THE fraudulent President is now

THE fraudulent President is now
engaged in receiving the attention
Of old women and womanish men
in Philadelphia. 1t is a noticeable
fact, however, that the "gush " has
all left him. He don't deal out driv-
ell and platitudes with the glibness
that characterized him year ago.
The shadow of the great conspiracy
and the great fraud is beginning to
weigh him down. He feels as
hump.backed Richard felt before
the battle of Bosworth Field. Not
the sacri9ce of the young princess
OF the lineal blood, but the usur-
patton of the office Of the Elect of
the People-the Elect of the Peo-
pie both by the Electoral Colleges
and the popular vote-sits heavy
on his conscience and makes him
dumb. In consequence the Amer
lean people lose few foolish
speeches, but they are enabled to
register, by the infallible barometer
of rebuked and remorseful
usurper, the precise effect of the
chilling atmosphere of disesteem
in which Hayes now finds him.

lion dollars q year. 1t Is destined
to become absolutely colossal. The
Los Angeles vineyards frequently
yield seven tons of grapes to the
acre. We have found that, by
discarding the old Mission grape
the finest table grape in the world
and adopting such grapes as the
"Blue Elbe," we can make wines
up to the standard of the light
Rhenish wines. The experiments
of Mr.. L. J. Rose and others have
demonstrated this fact. The three
year old Hook of Mr.. Rose, made
from the "Blue Elbe'' grape, is a
very superior wine indeed. 1t
"needs no bush," ami we praise it
because we are taking birds eye
glance at the future. With our
limitless spread of lands adapted
to vineyard, there is no reason why
we should not, within tho next two
decades, with the experiences al
ready gained, make tens of mil
lions of dollars worth of wines and
brandles yearly.
We have not yet glanced at what
ought to result from our alfalfa
barley and corn fields. We can
feed ten times as many cows from
our alfalfa fields in Los Angeles
county as the Eastern cheese anC
butter makers can from their clover
and timothy ranges. Why should
not Los Angeles be the champion
cheese and butter maker of the
American continent? We car
raise twice as much barley
and corn "a moderate estimate) a!
they can in New York, Kentucky
and Pennsylvania, and why should
we not make whisky, beer ant
ales, ad u6ituna, with our hop fields
at hand for the latter industries?
Los Angeles is to-day in al
anonymous condition. All it needs
is to organize its industries and vi
talize its agricultural and pomolog
ical interests to become th,
} wealthiest spot on the American
continent.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-04-28

WE don't often feel inclined to
gush. "Gush," without the re.
straints of contained and educated
taste, is bosh and bathos. But we
feel it in our bones that Los Ange-
les county is to-day entering upon
an onward and upward career. We
are perfectly aware that, just now.
we are experiencing rather the
drawbacks of the past year of
drouth than the benefits of
the present year of plenty.
But every passing month,
from now on, will register the
transition from bad to good. We
have demonstrated the fact, by our
production, that Los Angeles
county, In q year of drouth, is the
moat self-reliant district in Califor-
MIA. We have so much irrigated
land, so much land capable of irri.
CATION, so much moist land, which
don't need irrigation, that, on the
premises that we should have
continual years of drouth, this
county would rapidly become
the wealthiest in the State.
But it is pleasant to know
that we have only one year
of drouth in seven; and that, in
the other years, every mesa and
hillside blooms with crops of spon.
taneous grasses heavier than the
most careful cultivation will in.
sure in the East. We have to-day
thirty.six thousand people in Los
Angeles county. We need, to in
sure anything like an adequate de-
velopment of our possibilities, two
hundred thousand people. 1t is an
agreeable thing to know that the
two hundred thousand will surely
come, and that the next six OF
seven years will be years of unpre-
cedented activity and develop
ment. In those years to come we
shall make tremendous advances.
A feeling of this kind is far more
agreeable than the heavy oppres-
sion which rests on q finished
community.
