As compared with the expectations of
our people in the month of February
the crops are good; but, gagged by the
highly wrought hopes of three weeks
ago, they have not done so well. 1t is a
great thing, however, to get abundance
of grass, plenty of hay and good deal
of grain when, in mid-winter, the spec
tire of drought seemed to span the whole
local horizon. One of our largest
rancheros, who put $4,000 worth of
seed in the ground this season, tells us
that, while he will not make crop, he
will more than reimburse his outlay.
His ranch lies towards the coast, por-
tion of the country which, this year,
did not get its fair proportion of
the rainfall. About Newhall the
wheat is very light, while the crop
prospects in the San Fernando are
fair In estimating the situation the
fact must be borne in mind that our
farmers, for some years past, have been
making big money, and that, during the
past year, fully third of the mortgage
indebtedness of Los Angeles county has
beeu cancelled. The agricultural notes
from the moist and irligable sections of
the county are uniformly cheering. The
outlook for big corn crop was never
better, and the market for this staple is
now assured. Los Angeles first and
Ventura second are, par erceltence, the
corn growing counties of California,
Los Angeles raising about as much
corn as all the rest of the State
put together. The Bay View Distil-
lery of the Messrs Scoiield & Tevis
alone will consume all the corn raised in
the southern country which will not be
called for in Arizona and New Mexico.
This is a brave change from the time
when drought in Mexico was the prin-
cipal hope our farmers had for remu-
nerative prices for their corn. The
vineyard and orange erops-where the
biggest money lies-are in a splendid
state. We confidently expect that the
sales of Los Angeles wines and brandies
will this year reach S2,000,00O, while
the number of orange trees, OF good
fruit grade, which are now coming into
bearing, must not be overlooked in TAX
ing account of our revenues from the
citrus fruits. Take it for all in all, the
situation is one which promises a con-
siderable addition to our accumulated
wealth and has not an element which
might be called discouraging.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1882-04-29

THE HERALD will be greatly obliged
to those of it's readers who have the ia
cilities for so doing who shall kindly
collect statistics of recent vineyard plant
ing and forward them to this Office We
desire to use them in the forthcoming
ILLUSTRATED HERALD. While upon
this subject we cannot forbear urging
upon the attention of our readers a
duty, which they ought to recognize
voluntarily, viz, of keeping us informed
of all agricultural and horticultural de-
velopments in their neighborhoods. II
every subscriber of the HERALD through
out the county at large, who can write a
short article for publication without
much labor would do it, both this Jour-
nal and the county would be greatly
benefited. At long intervals such men
as the Messrs. i. j. Rose and j de Barth
Shorb write q few articles upon topics of
special interest, and then there is an end
of all the assistance we receive in pre-
senting the facts of local development to
the outside world. In this regard new
leaf ought to be turned over.

We were pleased to note yesterday
the impression made upon Hon. John P.
Irish and other Eastern excursionists by
an actual inspection of Chinatown and
the Chinese. He tells us that lament
able ignorance prevails in the Eastern
country as to the true status of this
great curse, Notwithstanding the fact
that the matter was exhaustively dis
cussed in both Houses of Congress, I'M
der the administrations of both Hayes
and Arthur and by special commission
sent to this coast to investigate the mat
ter, which was headed by the late Oliver
P. Morton. OF one thing we can rest
assured, and that is that nine tenths of
the people who come to this coast will
go back to their homes thoroughly in
accord with the people of California on
the Chinese question. AS disseminators
of correct ideas respecting the Mongo-
lians they will do us invaluable service.

der trials in the United States little bet

the gallows in the mother country,
when q man has committed murder, he
must indeed be as mad as a March hare.
Purely constructive insanity is looked

party will be glad to learn that the Chi
nese bill passed the Senate of the United
States yesterday, substantially in the
shape in which it was received from the
House OF Representatives by vote of
80 yeas to Is nays. The attempt to
strike out the fourteenth and fifteenth
clauses, the one relating to naturaliza-
ton and the other defining the word
slaborer" to mean both skilled and un-
skilled artizans, was defeated. 1t now
remains to be seen what Arthur will do
with the bill. In any event, an analysis
of the vote will show that the Democ-
racy have been practically unanimous
on the question, while the Republicans
are divided. Should the act become a
law We hope it will prove to possess
some of the efficacy which has been
claimed for it by its advocates.

ELSEWHERE We present some remark
bic statistics, compiled by writer in
the New York Sun, in regard to the eff
fects of prohibitary legislation on pau
perism and intemperance. They 90 to
confirm an impression, which has been
quite generally held amongst observant
people, viz, that the attempt to keep a
man away from his dram arouses his
combative elements and makes him drink
more than he would If no effort were
made to trammel him. Forbidden
fruits are always the sweetest, and
where the average citizen is told that he
can't have his drink he is almost certain
to turn up drunk, with the view, prob
ably, of affording an ocular demonstra.
ton of his personal independence and
defiance of blue law dictation. The fig
ures published elsewhere are worthy of
serious attention. We reiterate our be-
lief that Los Angeles scounty is destined
to do q great work of temperance not by
the revival and enforcement of obsolete
sumptuary laws, but by the production
of wholesome light wines, which will re
place the alcoholic liquors that do 81
much mischief in the United States
with great increase of sobriety as al
inevitale consequence.
