THERE is considerable comment,
amongst the subscribers to the fund TO
mako the late Sixth District Agricul-
tural Fair success, at the fact that no
exhibit Of the disposition Of the money
subscribed has thus far been made. The
paper on which these subscriptions
were recorded contained the following
preamble: "The Directors of Agricul-
''tural Association No. @, having guar.
''anteed to the Citizens Committee that
"a full statement, showing how every
dollar subscribed has been expended,
shall be published in two local news
papers for one week, within twent y
days after the termination of tho Fair.
''etc." Nearly three months have
elapsed since the Fair, and the HERALD,
in common with tho subscribers, would
like to know why this plain promise Of
making fair and full public statement
Of the disbursements has not been made.
Our columns are open for an explanation
OF this strange omission. What does it

condoned; but, in the statement pub.

ONr of the eccentric features of Los
Angeles life is the deadly apprehension
which takes possession OF large num-
Der of our people when Christmas has
passed without rain. Notwithstanding
the fact that years OF observation have
satisfied him that splendid crops have
resulted when the rains have even
been deferred TO as late date rs
February, the heart of the doubling
Thomas plumps down at once into his
boots and stays there till he is .shamed
out Of his despondency by the smiling
prosperity which ahounds on every hand.
Both last year and in the current season
we have been compelled to look upon
dun colored hills at Christmas, with this
difference that, last year, we remained
suspended on the tenter-hooks OF doubt
till January 26th, before j. p. relented
and gave us rainfall which at least
guaranteed half crop of the cereals
and assured an abundant pasturage and
hay. Having been close observer of
the varying moods of the weather-clerk
In Southern California for eleven seasons,
we are prepared to say that we never
saw, during that time, year open more
auspiciously than the present. All tho
indications now point to plentiful rain
fall, and there is u significance about the
fact which can't well be avoided, viz:
that after cycle of years of minimum
rains in Southern California we are al.
most absolutely certain to see a cycle of
years OF maximum rainfall. The truth
is that this is almost dead betting
proposition, and the HERALD refers to it
without having the slightest desire to
resume the role of weather-prophct
which it held so long and successfully
Cnquestionably, since the season of
lS76.77 we have not had anything like
n liberal allotment OF rain, although we
have had enough, except in lS7G.77 and
lSsl-S2 to mature splendid crops. Dur
ing that time we have been reliably
forging ahead, not only producing wheat
enough for our own use but being n
large manufacturer of -four for the out.
side world. The Los Angeles brands of
flour have been noted for their
excellence and have been sent
extensively to the East and to Arizona
and New Mexico. In addition, we have
shipped great quantities OF wheat and
barley both by ship and rail to Liver.
pool and the East Having done this
in years OF stinted moisture il becomes
an interesting study o. to what VIC shall
do in the line Of the cereals in this
county in years Of plenteous rainfall.
The probabilities all point to at least five
years Of a liberal pluyial d5wnpour: and
the likelihood is that, at the end of
that time, Los Angeles will be behind
no county in the State in the volume of
her wheat and barley production. 1t is
a fact too often forgotten that, ior
time whereof the memory OF man run.
meth not to the contrary, this county
has produced more corn than all the
rest of California put together, When
we shall supplement our corn, wine and
oil by two or three million dollars worth
of wheat annually, Los Angeles will
indeed be in a very enyiable plight, our
orange and lemon groves simply giving
poetical aroma to the picture.

WHEN the people Of Iowa followed

which absolutely prohibited the manu-.
facture, sale or introduction Of any
alcoholic or malt liquor In that State,
making Il penal offense for conscien-
tious Roman Catholic. Episcopalian.
Presbyterian or other Christian, to use
wine in the sacred rites OF thoir re-.
ligion, there was great chuckle
amongst the Prohibitory brethren all
over the United States. Tho Republi-
can patty lent itself unblushingly to q
legislation which absolutely annihilated
the personal liberty and attacked the
religion of the citizen. The word was
passed around the whole United States
that now was the acceptable time and
the leaders Of the ''God and Morality"
party were told that they must come to
"taw." While there were many wry
faces amongst the more sagacious mem.
bers of that organization the insolent
behest was obeyod, from Ohio to Cali
fornia. The result is now pretty clearly
disclosed. Ohio, for the first time in
many years, went overwhelmingly Dem
ocratic. In Iowa the Republican party
lost five members of Congress--a thing
supposed to bo impossible. In Kansas

by the stunning blows which they have

portion of the leaders Of tho Republican
party in New York are now busy
bedeviling the people of the metropolis
by the enforcement Of a specially
atrocious Sunday law. Not even the
nearly two hundred thousand plurality
received by Governor Cleveland has
awaited to teach them lesson. Repub.
licans who have been Governors Of the
Empire State and Ambassadors to
foreign countries are eager in the en-
forcement Of a law which bears
with an oppressive severity on
the poor. The whole episode, in its
madness, reminds one very much OF Don
