The idea of erecting a Horticul-
tural Pavilion for Southern Cali
fornia at Los Angeles Is an excel
lent one. In facs, this project de-
serves more than passing word of
recognition. We have already
made rapid progress in agriculture,
horticulture and pomology in this
section. Nearly every product of
the temperate and semi-tropical
zones, and many of the fruits and
flowers of the trepic zone, are
now represented in Los An
geles county. To lesser
degree vineyards and semi
tropical fruits receive a large share
of attention in the other Sou thern
counties. Los Angeles and San
Bernardino counties have had al
most a monopoly of the orange
culture thus far; but, doubtless, our
sister counties are destined to
make Roadway in a line of pro-
duction which we have hitherto re-
garded as our specialties. 1t is de-
sirable that they should do so. 1t
will be highly beneficial to all our
vineyardists, farmers and fruit
growers to have point of contact
a rallying place-where they may
meet on common ground, inter-
change ideas and experience and
make an exhibition of their pro-
duets to the best advantage. Los
from her central location,
her opulence of fora and fruits and
other products of the soil of South
ern California, and her already con-
siderable advances towards city
status, is the most natural site for
,uch an institution.

DENNIS KEARNEY's organ In San
Francisco, the Open Letter, is in
pecuniary difficulties and shows
signs of "pegging out" That
"great Serbonian bog, betwixt
Damietta and Mt. Cassius old,
where armies whole have sunk"
to employ the language of Milton,
presented not greater difficulties to
the martial or civilian wayfarer
than ncwspapering does to those
not to the manner born"
The decline of Kearney's organ is
pretty conclusive forerunner OF
the decline of Kearneyism. He
and his followers know about as
much about statesmanship as they
do of joui nalism. Meanwhile the
remorseless composition wants his
forty cents thousand, and the
Kearneyites mourn because they
are not forthcoming. Kearney has
already reduced the wage of the
day laborer to half what it was
before his advent. If he shall wind
up by inducing the compositor to
take halfpay, poor oppressed news
paper publishers will think he has
not lived altogether in vain.

benefit this section would derive
from such a disply of our products
as would be gathered in this pa
vilion. 1t would be q striking dis
sertation on the capabilities of our
soil, which could be taken in at a
glance by the visitor. Many and
many q man comes to Los Angeles
county, stays few days and leaves
without the faintest knowledge of
the fact that we can grow here,
side by side, the apple and the or
ange, the peach and the pome-
granate, the pear and the banana,
the lemon and the plum, the grape
and the pineapple. Los Ange es
is the home of the most gracious
and exotic flora. The exhibition
of an occasional be weighing a
hundred and fifty pounds, or more,
with companion squashes running
over two hundred pounds, would
not be thrown away. The Horti
cultural Pavilion could be made tc
tell, without a spoken or printed
word, more of Southern California
than can be found in the pages o.
Nordhoff's book.
Our wealthy citizens Should cor
daily foster this enterprise by con
tributing literally of their means
Those who have lands suitable fol
its site should offer to donate them
Having once taken the erection o
tho Pavilion in hand, we shoulC
aim to make it credit to this
section. We can reasonably look
for considerable help from our sis
ter counties, as they will be &C.
corded all the privileges enjoyed by
our own citizens. A public spirit
ed Santa Barbarian has already
promised aid from that quarter
The rest of Southern California
will probably show an equal inter.
est in the enterprise.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 5.-Pur-
suant to the call of Dennis Kear-
ney, the stock holders of the Open
Letter Publishing Company met at
Charter Oak Hall this afternoon to
hear the report of the committee
as to the financial condition of the
company. A. A. Stout read the
report, which showed in brief that
the paper was $500 in debt, with
about 5000 worth of outstanding
bills of difficult collection and that,
unless something was done in the
way OF furnishing the sinews of
war, the concern could not run a
week longer, A committee of three
was appointed to visit the office OF
the company, overhaul the books
and report on Sunday next.
This evening Kearney called at

what was going on. Learning OF
the presence of the agitator in the
building, Chief kirkpatrick sought
him out and the two were closeted
in the Chiefs office for a long time.
What occurred at the interview is
yet unknown, as the Chief is very
reticent about the matter and
Kearpey has not been interviewed.
the Coming Harvess-Hot weather
MARYsvILLE, April 5th.-The
farmers will commence cutting
hay in about two weeks. The grain
crops are forward and promise well
in some localities. The yield will
be very large. a heavy rain would
lodge good deal of grain at this
time. To-day's sun was oppres.
sively warm and at 2 o'clock this
afternoon the thermometer stood
500 on the shady side of the steeet.

THE Alta deduces the conclusion
that Kearney, from his Inherent
blackguardism, is unfit to lead a
Workingmen's movement. We
are Inclined to agree with our ven-
cradle contemporary. Though
many of our workingmen are crude
and uninstructed, they have those
elements of delicacy and self,re.
spect which constitute the gentle
man. Because a man is q diamond
in the rough, it by no means fol-
lows that he sympathizes with
coarseness and brutality of lam
guage, or with incendiary violence.

Wholesale Poisoning in Pennsylvanis.

A special from Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec.
Is, to the New York Herald, is as fol-
lows: The Borough of Whitehaven, in
this county, was this morning thrown
into fever OF, excitement by startling
event which bids fair to bring mourn
ing into a half-dozen worthy families,
1t appears that on Thursday last farm7
er named Fairchild completed his fall
slaughtering, and, as is customary. re-
membered a number of his friends and
relatives by sending them iver-pud-
dings, made in the usual manner, from
portions of the slaughtered animals, and
which by many are considered a great
luxury. After these gifts had been sent
to the various friends in question the
members of Mr.. .Fairchild's family (iye
in number) were taken suddenly i'll, and
as soon as possible a physi-
clan was summoned, who pro-
nounced the general I malady as
the result of poison, occasioning in all
the patients fits of vomiting and terri
BILE contortions. The physician investi-
gated the matter as well as he could un-
der the circumstances, and came to the
| conclusion that the family had been
poisoned by the liver-puddings. In the
absence of all chemical, examination he
could not tell the nature of the poison.
AS soon as it was aseertained that the
poison was contained in the pudding,
word was Immediately sent to the par
| ties to whom donations had been for
warded, but in many cases the .informa-
ton came too late, as it was discovered
that no less than twenty-threes persons
in Whitehaven were suffering the most
intense agony, as the result of eating
the poisoned dainty. .51ait ~ ~.
Late advices tonight from the excited

PTUS IX'S LAST PUBLIC ACTS.
London Tablet.


During the last few weeks of bis life the
Holy Father signed, or authorised the
publication of three important documents
The fret of those to which We sllude was
the Memorandum of Cardina! Simeoni on
the Russian Persecution, which had been
drawn up last year, but which was only
m ade public dnripg the month of January.
The last was the decree for the Restoration
of the Scotch Hierarchy, which was signed
on January %. Both of these have already
been noticed In our columns. In one the
Holy Father stood forward as the only
Monarch in Europe who had the courage
to expose the treachery of Russian dlplo-
macy in the other as the loving ana pa
ternal restorer of the Church in these
Kingdoms. But in the third-the Protest
by Cardinal Simeoni to the Am bassadors
on January II, on the occasion of the
accession of Prince Humbert-it Is the
sovereign Pontff, the watchful guardian of
all the rights OF the Holy See, Temporal
and Spiritual, who speaks In it the pre-
rogarives of the Head of the Church are
once again declared and defended; AID
the outrages of the uSu-per are condemned.
The Sovereign Ponttf has always been
careful "to protest against the sacrilegious
enterprises which have been successfully
consummated by the Piedm ontese Govern
ment, and these solemn protests
remain in full vigor; and the course of
years, far from lessening their force, has. on
the contrary, confirmed their justice and
necessity" Most unquestionably they have.
Some call this protest a vain formality, and
sneer at the Church for predicting it's fu-
ture triumph. Passing events should teach
such that it is not for partizans of epheme
raj kingdoms of this world to criticise the
acts of the Representative of dynasty
which has already existed nineteen hundred
years. They will die away, but the Papacy
remains.
