1T Is not pleasant to know that
the wheat crop throughout Los
Angeles county has suffered heav.
lily. In the direction of the Chino,
with the exception of a patch of
four hundred acres of late sown
wheat, and of some odd hundred
acres or so which were sowed early
on summer fallowed ground, "rust"
has hlighted the hopes of the
farmers. In the Azusa, the Costa
Ricans who sowed Egyptian wheat
will reap excellent crops. This
staple don't rust ard we hope to
see 1t introduced quite extensively
hereabouts. From the direction of
Los Nietos and Wilmington we
also receive very bad accounts, al
though the destruction is only par
tial. In the San Fernando valley,
where our main reliance is, about
q two-thirds crop will be har-
vested The estimate of mill
lion bushels of wheat in Los An
geles county, which was a per-
fectly legitimate one a month
ago, should be reduced to six hun
dred thousand bushels. The ca
pricious weather, the excessiv
rainfall and the inexperience of
our farmers are responsible for
this disappointment. We have
never seen finer wheat than the
Egyptian staple in which Mr.. Ba-
dillo has sown thousand acres in
the Azusa.s 1t is absolutely free
from ''rust'. and is exactly adapted
to our climate. Our farmers must,
in the future, profit by such exper-
iments as these. 1t should never
be forgotten that in the districts
which are to day noted all over
California for the reliability and
largeness of their wheat yield,
trust" for years baffi ed the hopes
OF the farmers. They at last
learned to cong uer success by close
observation of the species of wheat
adapted to their section and by
that cultivation of the soil which
relieved IL of the rankness which,
under hot sun and with too much
moisture, causes trust

THE fact that the HERALD has
been in favor of regular Demo.
cratic nominations would seem,
with some of our friends in other
counties, to call for our endorse
ment of irregular and self-consti-
tuted Conventions. We do not see
it IN that light. The late Merced
Convention lacked every element
of regularity and authority. Re.
gretting the ill-advised and unfor-
tunate action of the Democratic
State Central Committee, as we
do, by no means involves our COM
mitting the HERALD to q fiasco.
There was not single representa-
tive Of Los Angeles in the Merced
Convention. 1t was called by no
party usage. It's candidates will
not only be defeated, but they will
not even figure in the poll respect.
ably. Mainly owing to the siren.
uous efforts of the HERALD, we
had regular Democratic County
Convention In this county, and its
nominees will win by large ma
jority. The Democratic County
Convention of Los Angeles en-.
dorsed the nominees of the First
District; and, consequently, they
appear at the head of our columns,
together with the names of the
gentlemen who compose our ad-
mirable local ticket. There we
stop. What man of common sense
would do otherwise? Our attitude
is absolutely consistent from q
party standpoint. 1t is is not only
consistent, but it will be successful.

Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, in the
Potter Investigating Committee,
settles down to the business of
throwing bricks against this hypo-
critical administration. If there
is one thing Ben despises more than
another, whether it proceeds from
Dem ocratic or a Republican
source, it is sham. The "true in

ty will not remain hidden If this
strabismic genius from Massachu-

not consecrate the last days of a

GENERAL REMARKS - To-day the long
wished for rain came and fell copiously flood
ing the streets and filling the cisterns.
The sales Of Cotton to-day were confined to
only $500 bales owing to the poor offerings and
stringent demands of holders. During the week
low grades have advanced sc and high grades
q sales footing up 1900 bales. against II 400
bales the previous week and 16. $50 bales the
week before,
During the week the receipts of Flour
amounted to 9233 barrels against 9317 last week.
The supply of that commodity is light and the
market is steady and dull. business being chief
ly confined to Job lots.
Owing to the scant supply Of Corn Meal this
article has advanced, and is now quoted at 81 IS
az so q Dbl.
The Provision market continues dull. es-
pecially in Pork. in which article there is
scarcely any movement During the week Dry
Salt shoulders have declined 14@7sc . It; Ba-
con sides have fallen in price 1tgAc, shoulders

The latest triumph of American manufac-
turers is the export of beer to Germany. A
casual remark of Prince Bismarck last year
to some American visitors that he did not be-
leve as good beer was brewed In America as
In Germany led to the shipment to him OF a
keg of American beer. This was so accepta-
bic to the German taste that several large or
ders have since been received for more, and
an American brewer sailed last week for Eu-
rope to make permanent arrangements for
the export of American beer to Germany.
The beer sent is New York beer, and If New
York lager can be sold in Germany, the Chi
cago beer, which is far better, could find a
large market.
