Does Farming Pay7

The Providence Democrat, in
answering this question, tells Of
a young farmer in that State
who thought it did not pay, and
therefore went to the city to
look for a situation where he
could make more money. He
consulted an acqaintance who
had q good position in the city
and they compared notes. The
farmer had supported his family
on 4 hired farm, fed and clothed
them well, but had only put by
6fty dollars during the year.
The clerk, whose family was not
ms large, had lived very prudent
" upon q salary of three dollars
Der day and had accumulated a
debt Of seventy-five dollars In
the same length of time. Near.
" every dollar of his pay could
be accounted for in house rent,
car fare, food, fuel and neces'
sary clothing, and the debt was
caused by q purchase Of needed
furniture. 1t is unnecessary to
state that the farmer returned
to the farm with a different idea
of the profits of farming.

Brazil and tine United States.

Brazil, ss is well known, is the
largest political division of
South America, its area being
equal to that of all others com
bined. Lying, as it does, under
the burning sun of the equator
there is a wonderful and luxuri-
ant vegetation. Its chief pro-
duct is coffee, but a hundred
other articles are grown in the
greatest abundance. Rich
woods, rare icinal herbs,
dye stuffs are found in bound
less, limitless qualities, jewels
gold, oliver and other minerals
abound. England, France and
Germany almost mOnopolize the
foreign trade of this immense
ma ton, for, owing to the barba
rous and short-sighted policy Of
our government, there are few
American vessels to divert to
our shores some of that com
mercs which would make oul
manufacturers rich. We buy
coffee from Brazil, we have
much that VIC could give in re
turn, but we allow other coun
tries to do this and reap the re
sultant benefits. When the pro
posed Three Americas Railway
reaches Brazil it will find an es
; tablished system of railways
with which to connect. We ex
pect that it will be possible to
go from st, Louis to I.io Janeric
by rail in 1898.

1t was in the summer of 1864,
while the armies of the United
States ard Confederate States
were confronting each other on
the James below Richmond
On a certain day a federal at
tack, which was thought to be a
Idecoy, was made on the south
side of the river. We thought
we saw evidences of a real at
tack on our side. Occasionally
the whole picket-line would
open fire. The gunboats at Deep
Bottom would send 800 pounds
crashing through the timbers in
the rear of what had been Lib
by's residence, but was then
Gen. Lees headquarters, At
about 2 o'clock p. m. the artil-
lery opened on our left. A few
minutes afterwards we heard
the unmistakable roar of infan-
try firing. We then knew that
the lines of battle were on our
left. The picket opened and
kept up a firing in our front the
gunboats sending their internal
machines more frequently. We
the Rock bridge battery, were
ordered to double.quick into
their position on Libby's Hill.
On our way up, everything look
ed as though we were on the
eve of a terrible confict-the
roar ofartillery and infantry the
rapid movement of troops into
line, and the solemnity that
seemed to have impregnated the
whole atmosphere. As we
neared Libby-house, saw Gen.
Lee in the yard. He was stan<
ding lust under a low tree, with
one of his arms extended as if
reaching for something on the
limb. As we got nearer him,
we could see what he was en-
gagged in doing at such a time.

IT is very much to be regretted that a
scene like that reported in this morning 8
issue of the HERALD should occur in n
civilized city like Los Angeles. No
policeman, especially no Chief of City
Police, should ever permit himself to
forget that he ought to be conservator
and not violator of theIla From all
the facts which reach us, il looks very
much as il the Chief of Police of Los
Angeles, after having invoked the law
to protect him by instituting libel suit
against Major Horace Bell, the editor OF
the Poroupine, had made deliberate
attempt to assassinate his adversary. 1t
is high time that such incidents were
made impossible in this city, for all time
to come. by stern public sentiment
and an energetic administration of the
law. The position of Chief of Police Of
any city is really sacred trust, Its
occupant is empowered to repress, not
to initiate or encourage violence. No
matter how bitter or vituperative may
be the assaults upon u public officer,
sworn to preserve the peace, no matter
how unjust or uufounded such attacks
may be, he of all men is not permitted
to take the law into his own hands. 1t
is fortunate that our city has not been
disgraced by actual bloodshed, but the
incident is sufficiently grave to call for
thorough condemnation. To-day Chief
King was to have appeared in a Court
of law to prosecute his opponent for an
alleged violation OF law. BY his own
rash act Mr.. King has placed himself
without the pale of the sympathies OF
the people of this community, and has
so prejudiced his case in Court that,
even if it were just one, it is very
doubtful whethsr any jury could be
induced to find in his favor. Let us
have no more of such ruthless violence.
The general sentiment of this commu-
nifty is that Los Angeles needs 4 new
Chief of Police, and the sooner the
better.
