Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-11-10

"wherc il had working majority In the
Flower House. As Wackleford Squeers
would say, ''here's richness for
you" Now it so happens that
the 47th House Of Representa-.
tiyes, Of happy memory, contained l4o
Republicans, 1872 Democrats and ~
Greenbackcrs or Nationalists. Repub-
lican plurality over the Democrats II;
Republican majority over all, 8. This
Republican majority Of the House pro-
oeeded to elect Joseph Warren Keller,
Republican, Speaker, aud Benjamin r.
Gaines, Republican, Clerk, and is re.
sponsible for all the legislation which
the Chronicle so stupidity and conde.
scendingly hands over to the Democrats.
The Examiner Of the 9th inst. announced
editorially that elections were being
held in eleven States, and put tue cap
sheaf on its bIunder the next day by
claiming that the Democrats had carried
six and the Republicans five OF the
eleven. The Chronicle, however, not to
be distanced, said that elections were
being held in nine States, adding that
the Maryland election had been held on
the 5lh. No doubt much weight Is due
to the opinions of such thoroughly
posted pundits. "Iow we apples swiml"
-
THE farmers Of Los Angeles county
are very iubilant this year, as well they
might be. They have done well in
every line, aud have money to the right
side of their bank accounts. With the
exception of our orange growers, our
horticulturists have fared equally well.
Last year was bad season for our citrus
fruits. The extremely cold winter re.
suited in crop Of very inferior quality,
our new Eastern market conditions had
not been adjusted, and the outcome was
unsatisfactory all round. This year our
orchardists will fare much better, and
the grade Of our oranges will be such as
to make fine reputation for the Los
Angeles staple. Unluckily for the pro.
ducers, influenced by the low prices of
last years crop, they have already
largely parted with their fruit, at very
low rates, to Sresoyich and the San
Francisco syndicate lie represents, to
German of this city. and to other job
bers. Probably nine-tenths OF the Los
Angeles orange crop has been already
secured by them, aud they will un'
doubtedly make great deal Of money.
Those who have superior article Of
fruit, and who have held on to 1t,
will do exceedingly well, as the
course of the market promises
to be steadily upward. A great
demand has sprung up for apples, the
crop having proved an almost total fail
ure, both in Oregon and in the Sacra-
mento Valley. Los Angeles apples are
being shipped in large quantities to
both San Francisco and Sacramento,
where they command very satisfactory
prices. One firm in this city has al-
ready shipped twenty carloads from
Downey and twelve from Santa Ana to
those points. 1t would be hard to find
q spot on the American continent where
farmers and horticulturisis are so highly
favored as in Los Angeles county, and it
is no wonder that two-thirds of the mort
gage Indebtedness of this county has
been extinguished during the last two
years. The great aud urgent need of
the county just now is for an increase of
dairymen and the breeders of graded
cattle. There is big money in both, and
the field ought not to be longer ne.
elected. Our cereal production and the
interests relating to viniculture and viii
culture are advancing in splendid ratio,
but the dairy and the stock ranch should
receive more attention.
