Recently a Justice of the Peace,
while sitting in his office smoking,
was accosted by stranger, who in
quired:
Judge, how much will you
charge me to read over about fif-
teen lines of printed matter from a
book / have?"
"Why can't you read them?r re-
piled his honor.
~ can, but I want to hear how
the lines sound when read aloud.
I'll give you quarter to read them
to me-"
"All right,n replied the Justice.

YEAR by year our productions
are steadily increasing in amount
and variety. II Is a safe thing to
say that, for flour and other staples
OF prime necessity, Los Angeles
county sent abroad annually at
least three.quarters Of a million
dollars yearly. We now produce
these staples and we are saving
that money. The mere economic
ing on freight alone is enough to
make us well to do in a period of
ten years. We are catching the
secret of self-help. 1t is probably
safe to assume that this year, in ad-
dition to producing all the flour
needed to support our own people,
we shall export three or four ship
loads of that cereal. We have in
augurated the sensible custom of
shipping barley direct to New
York. There cannot fail to be
money In this venture. Our barley
is of such superior quality that it
is always sure to encounter lively
demand for it in the Eastern mar.
ket. By the way, it is matter
worth making public that the
wheat raised in the San Fernando
valley, in Los Angeles county,
makes the best -four sold in Cali
fornia, The mex. best brands are
made from the wheat of the Cajon
valley, San Diego county. 1t is
safe to say that the "cow" counties
intend to be heard from hereafter
In the inventory which shall record
the productions of this State. Not
only that, but the time is not very
far distant when the wines and
brandies of Los Angeles county
alone will foot up heavily in the
millions.

IT seems almost universally con-
ceded that Gen. Grant will be the
Republican nominee. And yet we
cannot resist the conclusion that
there is a latent patriotism in the
Republican party which sympa-
thizes with the idea that two terms
are enough for any man. The New
York Sun says that Grant would
insure the defeat of his party were
he nominated. This is bold chal-
lenge to very demonstrative opin-
ion which hold the very reverse.
We think that the Sun is right and
believe that the nomination of
Grant would lose the Republican
party tenth of its vote.

To some persons it may seem sim
Rular that q political alliance
should spring up between the
Workingmen and the Democracy.
When L little attention is paid to
the matter, however, the apparent
singularity disappears. There is
an identity between the views of
the two parties which makes such
union the most natural in the
world. They are both emphati-
cally opposed to strong govern
ment. Both are interested in see
Ing an end pat to the insolence
and aggressions CT place-holders.
Both dearly desire to see Republic
canism the leading feature of the
United States Government. 1t is
to be regretted that q consolidation
Of all the elements opposed to Re-
publican ascendancy was not ac-
conplished In California last sum-
mer. 1t was made impossible by
the insulting tone adopted by both
the Workipgmen and the New
Constitution party towards the
Democracy. Fraternity is impos-
sible where one of the parties to an
endeavor to establish it is arraign-
ed In the most contumelious terms
by the others. AS long as the
Workingmen applied to the De-.
mocracy the most contemptuous
terms in the English language, a
concert of action between them
was Of course impossible. The
same thing applied to the New
Constitution party. which was just
as glib in employing epithets of
sh..se. To the Democracy was left
no alternative but to meet harsh
words in similar spirit. We
think that we are perfectly war;
ranted in assuming that the Work
ingmen have learned the folly of
abusing the only party on which
the country can rely for strong
and successful fight against CEN
trallzation. They recognize the
impossibiiity Of organizing a third
party movement for the next Pres
tdsntial campaign which would
have any other effect than to guar
antee the election of the Republi-
can candidate for President. AS to
the. ability OF Democrats and
Workingmen, working cordially
together, to assure the Democratic
nominee for President the electoral
vote of California, we have no
doubt whatever.

WE are willing at all times to
withhold information we may have
in regard to anything which is in
teresting to the public, especially
if it furthers the end of justice to
keep back for a while the knowl-
edge we are possessed of, but We
disapprove of a manoeuvre which
seems gotten up to give the eve.
ming paper a chance to impart in.
formation which the morning pa
pers should have published. We

this is intended will admit that we
have not been treated fairly.

THERE is hardly a doubt but
that we shall have very abund-
ant rainfall this year. The rule
which generally prevails in Cali
fornia is that the rainfall after the
first of January is froE two to
three times as great as before. Los
Angeles county leads the central
and northern portions Of the State
thus far in the amount of the rain
fall. tShould we have the usual De-
cember rains, it is safe to say, II
this proposition should hold good,
that we shall have five or six
inches more of rainfall this season
than would be needed to guarantee
a crop in this county.

pany, to see what arrangements can
be effected for the extension of that
road to this place. We learn that
these gentlemen had written to Mr.
Sturgiss to know what inducement
the people of Monongalia offer to
this company. We hope satisfactory
negotiations may be made. AS the
Narrow Gauge seems to be failure,
we now propose to have a broad gauge
and do not intend to rest until it is
accomplished. This county can
