tools Of the railway. As consequence,
the HERALD ran singularly honest
campaign. II ignored the railway issue
and concentrated itself on the sumptuary
law plank Of the San Jose Convention
which, in our opinion, gave us the vic
tory. This journal has nothing either
10 qualify or take back. Had il been
published in section in which the rail-
way was retarding development, no
journal would have been fiercer than the
HERALD in jumping that powerful cor.
poration, although We doubt il we could
have been unfair to it even under such
circumstances. To our surprise tho
Messrs. Carpenter and Humphreys, in
stead of turning out black sheep whom
we would have had to defend or sur
render have, as far az they have gone,
proved to be honest Democratic officials.
As matter OF historical record, they
have already done more to redress the
grievances of the people, although only
six months in Office, than all the other
Railway Commissioners Of California
put together. Should the Democratic
State Central Committee of California
donouneo these men, who really constr
tuto a court, they will simply be play
ing into the hands OF the Chronicle and
the Republican party. This representa-
tive body should not lose its head and
ought to pronounce in favor Of giving
duly elected Democratic officials show.
If they don't, the Democratic party in
California, for some time to GONE, will
have very poor lay out, indeed, in oui
opinion.

A Pious Suicides Scheme.

Bad luck made a Boston man wish
to die, but he was a firm believer in
the bible, and was aware of its man

preached, too, that a death. bod repent

He made careful study of this doc.

what he had in oontemplation), and at
length settled in his own mind that
the sinner who repented at the last
moment was as sure of heaven as any
one who lived sanctiied for years.
Having settled that point to his own
satisfaction, he sought a means of sui
eide which, while certain to kill, would
leave him conscious long enough tomake
his peace with heaven. So he swallowed
a deadly poison, and was taken to a
hospital to die. "There he repented, u

A SESSION of the Democratic State
Central Committee is about to be held

the peculiar agitation against officials

Is YESTERDAYS issue of the HERALD
we dwelt ON certain geographical and
other features of Los Angeles which, in
our judgment, mark out both city and
county for an exceptional good fortune
and progress. In this necessarily quite
brief review, we dwelt very slightly upon
the fact that Los Angeles county has
lately been advanced to the status of one
OF the most reliable grain producing
counties in the abnormally prolific State
of California. As matter of prosac
recital, Notwithstanding the fact that
tho present is the third dry year we have
been obliged to chronicle in this county,
our farmers will garner a harvest of
wheat and barley which will closely ap.
proximate three million dollars in value.
The old reproach of being COW county
has long ago been outgrown, and we
risk nothing in claiming that, in the
coming years, in the cereals alone, Los
Angeles will be second in production to
no county in this State. Next year,
when we will undoubtedly be treated to
memorably plenteous rainfall, there
will not be over four counties in Caliior-
mia that will lead our own in the yield
OF wheat and barley. In considering
this matter, the facts must be borne in
mind that the Los Angeles producer has
very ample and satisfactory local mar
ket; and that, in supplying the needs
of the territories of Arizona and
New Mexico, and of an immense
mining region which reaches almost to
Virginia City and Salt Lake City, the
freight from San sFrancisco to Mojave
and to Los Angeles, which will be saved,
will be very material factor in guaran-
teeing to our producers an exceptional
prosperity. The markets which have
been created, and which are daily being
created, by the southern Pacific, the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, the
Atlantic Il PGlIic ana tho Texas Pacific,
will, in u very exceptional degree, be
mines of wealth to the Los Angeles
granger. The saving on transportation
from the bay to Los Angeles, will of
'-rs-aN. be sufficient to guarantee high
premiArs 90 our wheat, even should it be
shipped, via New Orleans, TO Europe.
Facts speak more loudly than theories,
and the statement of the circumstance
that everything an Angeleho has to sell
has commanded most remuneratiye fig.
ures during the past few years, is OF itself
thorough confirmation of the assump.
ton that the Los Angeles farmer enjoys,
and is destined still TO enjoy, an excep.
tionally profitable and satisfactory mar.
ket. So thorough have been the nd.
vances in our system OF agriculture, and
so expanded has become the area OF our
wheat and barley lands, as result of
intelligent experiment and even remun.
erative experience, that, as a grain and
vegetable producing section, alone, we
are justified in saying that Los Angeles
would soon become center OF great
wealth and prosperity 1t gives US a
huge pleasure to be able to note such a
re-nssuring state Of things, in which, by
the way, the Semi.tropical aspect OF our
section cuts no part.

A Chance for Prospecting


The breaking of the English dam,
over in California, having swept away
the huge boulders and ripped things
up generally on the Middle Yuba for

there will be fair chance for pros
nactors to make discoveries of gravel
