THERE is u SAVIOR of prosperity in
the breezss that now begin to blow
over California. There is now no
reasonable excuse for getting up
any political excitement. The
probability is that property will be
given q chance to recover some.
thing like its normal value and
labor something like its proper re-
ward. II the people OF Cali.
fornia are content to live good
humoredly with each other until
another general election we have
no doubt whatever but that good
times are Immediately ahead, and
these are much more healing in
their influence to the poor man
than. Kearney's tireso me and black
guard harangues. Under the ma
lign spell Of this man all have be-
come poor and all are painfully in
need OF an era of better things. All
California now needs to regain the
plane Of much of her old time pros
perIty Is rest in political matters
for, say, six months. That accord
cd, We venture the prediction that
every mans little lot will
recover much of the old-time value
and his bank account its old-time
modest plethora. The Railway
Commission will attend to our
freights and fares controversies;
the Legislature will be busy modi-
flying our laws to suit the new or
ganic act, and everything conspires
TO give US at least temporary sur
cease OF our political SORROWS. 1t
10 Indeed a consolation most de-
voutly to be wished by long suf-
feripg people.

THE Alta of the 18th inst. says,
speaking of the Nehemiah Berry
contest In the third Congressional
district:
A perplexing dispatch from Eu-
reka seems to change the aspect Of
affairs in the third Congressional
district. Humboldps vote, if cor
rectly reported, will defeat McKen-
ma and elect Berry. The figures as
previously reported Official, except
as to Humboldt and Trinity stood:
McKenua, 1880; Berry, 1902.
The vote of Trinity will probably
not vary more than ten from the
computation then allowed $50 for
McKenns). The Humboldt vote
stood, as reported: McKenDa, 143l;
Berry, 1858. This included nearly
all the precincts. The report of the
official count now comes: McKen-
ma, 1854 Berry, 1915, making
difference of 800 votes against Nc
Kenna. This, if true, Of course
elects Berry. 1t is probable, how
ever, that the figures are transposed
and that we will have a correction
of the dispatch to-day.
Our contemporary is mistaken.
1t will have no correction of the
dispatch. The foregoing passage
is followed in the Alta by a table
of the vote which shows Berry,
Democrat, to have been elected by
a majority of 225. We have been a
little more careful than the Alta,
and have gone over the figures on
the assumption that the returns
from Humboldt county were trans
posed. Even then Berry has a
clear majority of fourteen, ample
on the principal that enough is as
good as feast. The truth is that
Berry has won handsomely; and
that, from the opening day of the
canvass, he deserved to win, so
manly, consistent and self-respect-
ing was his attitude at all times.

The Grasshopper Conquered.
Virginia City Chronicle.l

Virginia City Chronicls.l
During the past two seasons 81.
ezra Valley has been subjected to
the devastations of the Unsuitable
grasshopper. The farmers, how
ever, have not been discouraged
but have maintained their unequal
fight against the pest, unwilling to
lose land so productive and valua-
BILE as long as there was the slight
est hope for deliverance. Anew
ally has come to the farmers as
slstance in the shape of white
worm. Millions of little eggs are
laid alongside the grasshoppers'
eggs, and the worms coming out
first proceed to feast upon the I'M
incubated egg of the grasshopper.
If any of the choppers survive the
attack of the worms, little red
bug darts into the fray and pro-
ceeds to business at once. The first
active work he does is to eat the
grasshopper's head off. He quietly
fastens himself behind the
grasshoppei's ear and burrows
into his brain, which he
uCNOulo II q low houlsj
grasshopper physically and men,
tally in bad fix. The hopper does
not always die, but his mental fac
ulties being affected he loses his
fine sense of discrimination and is
just as liable to eat one of his many
relatives or a patch of weeds as to
banquet upon ,he farmers wheat,
and finally he perishes miserably.
The red bug meanwhile dies in the
grasshoppel's head for want of
nourishlnent, and the white worm,
having accomplished its mission
gu earth, winds up its business af-
fairs and is gathered to its fathers,
while the hilarious farmer happily
rid of the mutifarious insectiverous
pests, takes down his fiddle and his
bow and dasbes off a familiar hoe
down OH his back stoop, and the
hired help "pat juba," while the
children dance m 4rrily until the
moon rises in the eastern sky, and
all hands to go to bed.

READERS of the HERALD

READERS of the HERALD are
aware of the fact that, whenever
this Journal ventured to look for
the triumphant election of DIR.
Glenn, it was always careful to en-
trench itself behind the Chronicle
or Gorham. Angeleiios probably
understood the broad and consist
emit sarcasm of this position. We
have a correspondent, &C." in far
OF Massachusetts, who evidently
cannot at all times tell hawk
from hand-saw. He writes to us
under date of September 10th, re-
preaching us for lack of prophetic
foresight and venturing on proph-
coy himself. But first he quotes
the following from the HERALD:
In view of the evidence daily &C.
oumulated by the Chronicle it re-
qutres great deal of courage on
the part of the opponents of DR..
Glenn to doubt that gentleman's
election by q tremendous majority.
According to our contem porary the
people are rising en- nlasse to put
his success beyond peradyenture.
Says &C." thereon:
"The courage of DIR. Glenn's op-
''ponents must be wrought up to a
"pretty high pitch about this time.
"How about Maine =? The fact is,
"the very name OF Democracy is
s'stench In the nostrils of every
"liberty-loving and patriotic citi.
"sen OF the country.
"You have proved false prophet
sin regard to California. Now al
flow me to prophecy that the
democrats will be utterly routed

necticut make, that Samuel J. Til
den, IL alive, is the next President

IT is pleasant to note that Berry

IT is pleasant to note that Berry,
after all, has beaten McKenna in
the Third Congressional district
The whole history Of Berry's can.
didature Is redolent of manliness
and sagacity. Readers Of the HER
AID will remember that this gen.
tleman, who was the Democratic
Speaker of the late California
House OF Representatives,, was first
nominated by the Workingmen for
Congress in his district. He ac-
knowledged the personal compli-
mont, but declined the nomination,
stating that he was an aspirant for
the Democratic nomination, and
that il he failed to re-
ceive that he would not be candi-
date. The WorkiDgmen, in con-
sequence, took Mr.. Berry off their
ticket. He was nominated by the
Democrats on the I'd of July, at
Sacramento, accepted the nomina-
tion with thanks, and at once en-
tered vigorously upon his canvass.
The Workingmen of his District,
notwithstanding the opposition of
Denis Kearney, who always works
In the interest of the Republican
party, afterwards met and endorsed
Mr.. Berry. There is some question
~ to whether this was an endorse
mont Of the whole party or only of
= portion Of it. 1t was accomplish.
ed In spite Of the strenuous efforts
Of Kearney to render nugatory the
preference of Workingmen who
had Democratic instincts. 1t is
pleasant to chronicle Berry's cleo
ton, by over a hundred majority,
In view of the gallant and con-
sistent fight made by him from the
very Initial Of the canvass. The
Congressional delegation from CAL
tfornla will thus stand three Re-
publicanslto one Democrat, instead
Of an unbroken delegation, as pre-.
viously reported. 1t is somewhat
significant fact that the people of
California, with their customary
sagacity, have thus voted to keep
the Workingmen's party so.called
out of any participation in national
politics,

THE resumption of work on the
extension of the Southern Pacific
railway through Arizona will
make matters lively again In that

Stories of great mineral riches
reach US as characteristic Of the

In fact, from all accounts of those
who have given minute attention
to the subject, the country to the
east of Tucson is much richer in
gold and silver and other minerals
than that which lies between Yuma
and that point. We shall hail
with delight the progress of work
which will give Los Angeles a

For a quite apparent purpose the
Radicals support lunatic in Mis-.
sissippi who runs the Okolona
States. 1t is the duty of this Re-
publican stool-pigeon, at regular
intervals, to say atrociously funny
things which can be quoted as rep
resenting the sentiments of the
Southern people. They are really
so representative in the sense that
the out -givings of an plished
and Anticipated inmate of the
Napa or Stockton Insane Asylum
are of the views of the people Of
California. When it comes to the
Chisholm and Yazoo county cpl
sodes, however, the case is little
more serious. Nevertheless, ii
would be just as fair to hold the
people of Pennsylva mia responsible
for the Pittsburgh riots, or the
Molly Mcguire murders, as to at
tempt to make the people of Missis-
sippi responsible for the act of
Barksdale or the purely local SYM
pathy which acquitted the Gullys.
The next Presidential election will
not be decided on narrow and pre-
juiicial views or on partial issues.
What the people of the United
States need above all things is to
establish the fact that the Republi-
can party does not enjoy a pre-.
scription of the government Of this
country. This is the crying, M al OF
demand of the day, and it is not to
be overshadowed by any "bloody
