TIE rains in this section. though not
heavy. will be continuous. The farmer
does not need them, while they will be
most distressing to the HERALD. The
new press room of this paper is going
forward with most exemplary rapidity,
notwithstanding the occasional pelting
rains, but i is hard 10 build brick walls
without propitious weather, just as the
Egyptians found it hard to make bricks
without straw. We warn our patrons
that wo may be compelled, for day or
two, to fall back upon their patience.
Within ten days we shall rejoice in the
fastest power press ever set up in this
State south Of San Francisco. From that
date forward everything in the HERALD
press room will be spck. span and thor.
ough. We will then have facilities to
run all the papers, daily and hebdom-
adal, published in Southern California,
if they were gathered within reasona-
BILE distance Of the HERALD office. We
surely do not ask much of our readers,
in view of our ceaseless efforts to please
them, in craving their indulgence for
any shortcomings until we announce
that our new machinery and press have
been put in place.

ACCORDING to the kilograms received
from Gov. Stoneman in San Bernarduo,
and transmitted secondhand by Sheriff
Burkhart OF that county to Los An
geles, Billy Mcdowell will be hanged by
the neck until he is dead some time
about ten o the clock this morri4x. As
we write, from all aecants, Mct awsli-
will be usherel into the next world in
brisk shower. He will thus come under
the operation OF the old adage, which
runs, BLESSED is the corpse which the
rain rains on" As his guilt has been,
according to all accounts, quite heinous,
We will hope that, through the agency
Of that sentiment of the pious Watts,
that,
.'Betwixt the stirrup and the ground,
Aercy's sought and merey's found
MeDowells soul, as it seeks the empyr-
can or its antipodes, will prove to have

that heretofore puissant organization
that it would really require Democratic
blunders without number to give it a
standing in the court Of the people. For
years to come the Republican party will
live upon its record of "what might have

historical initiative. As it is, We are

SARGENT has been transferred from
the post Of Minister at Berlin to that u
Minister at St. Petersburgh. He will
probably regard tho transfer as relief,
the chilling atmosphere OF the Emperor
Wilhelm and his Man Friday Bismarck
not being specially agreeable to any
free-born American. Mr.. Sargent ought
to have bcen recalled, and his post
ought to have beer left untitled. We
want no lackeys at European Courts, to
wear mufti and attudinizc as courtiers.

The prime factor Of the Democratic
party has always been that 1t Is indie.
pendent Of purely local developments.
1t has always been able to exist, whether
northern or southern constituents have
felt like "kicking." Only three times
In its history has 1t been subjected to a
violent shock which temporarily threw
It out Of gear. Tho first time was in
1894, when 1t advanced three candidates
for the Presidency. The second was In
Isis, when both Lewis Cass and Martin
Van Buren, ran as Democratic candidates
for President, with, OF course, rs in 1924,
the defeat Of the Democratic candidate.
The third foolish departure Of the Dem
ocratic party was in 1860, when, as in
lS4S, it ran two candidates for President.

The Arabs Defeated at Tamanieh.

The Arabs Defeated at Tamanieb.
SUAKIM, March 27.-The rebels fired
on the British troopers from the rocks
upon the left of the cavalry, dislodged
them and advanced to within hundred
yards of Tamanieb. As soon as Graham
came up with the infantry and guns,
shells were thrown among the flying
Arabs and exploded close to them. On
reaching Tamanieb the men and horses
made straight for the wells and slaked
their thirst. After brief halt the
cavalry moved out to the right and left
the village in pursuit of the retiring foe.
The village was forthwith burned to the
ground. General Graham will explore
the regions in the neighborheod of the
wells Of Tamanieb and then return with
his whole force to Suakim. The campaign
is at an end.

The curious thing about the rainfall
of California this year is that, although
we have had from thirty-five to fifty
inches in Los Angeles county, according
to location, they have only had about
fifteen inches for the season in Petaluma.
The truth is that there has been great
deal of misapprehension, hitherto, about
the rainfall in this county. Taking an
average Of ten years, we find that it is
about that of the Sacramento valley.
There is, besides, in favor of Angelenos,
the remarkable difference, as contrasted
with the Sacramento valley of the TEN.
perature, which here is so warm, in the
early spring months, that it makes ten
inches of rainfall equivalent to fifteen OF
even twenty in the Sacramento valley;
and, indeed, in all the northern and cen.
trail counties.

A Prudent Juror.
Galveston News

tialveStOn News.
General Thomas Harrison, who was COM
mander of Texas regiment during the
war and known by the boys as the Jim
Town Major" was, soon after the war,
elected Judge of one Of the districts OF
Texas. Shortly after his election he
visited one of the counties in his district
for the purpose of holding court, and on
his arrival in town impaneled a jury con-
sisting Of eleven white men and one negro.
About the first case called was one
against party for murder. After hearing
the evidence, arguments Of counsel and
charge of the court, the jury started down
stairs to consider their verdict, the cOlOred
juror happening to be in the rear. Follow
ing them was the attorney for defendant.
At the head of the stairs land in hearing
of the colored Juror the attorney was
asked by friend how he thought the case
would be decided The reply was, 81 think
the defendant will be acquitted or the jury
will be hung
The jury went down the steps and out
in the yard, and upon looking around the
cOlored member was missing. Upon in
vestigation they saw him making 2:40
time in the direction of the brush. The
Sheriff was called and after vigorous pur-
suit, Mr.. Juror was captured and brought
before the court and asked why he had
run away. His reply was He had heard
a gentleman say if the man wasn't cleared
the jury would be hung, and as he hadn't
done nothing he didn't want to take any

CORNER IN WALL PAPER.
The Manufacture Limited to a Select
COterie of Mill Men.
Continent

lContnent.
For twenty-siX years no one has been
able successfully to start a new manufac-
tory OF wall paper in America and the
reason is easily found in the iron-clad rule
OF this formidable manufacturing pool.
Merchants who handle the product are
compelled, under forfeiture of heavy bonds
not to buy of any outside manufacturer in
this country. Should any one violate his
contract, from the heavy dealer who is
able to furnish the required bond, down to
the small fish who purchase of the mid
die men, he is compelled among other pen.
alties, to pay maximum prices" on which
there is no possible profit. The statesmen
are required to make oath not to violate
the employers contract in any particular,
and the penalty is discharge and ineligibil-
ity to a similar position with any wall
paper firm. Although the tariff on the
imported article, at twenty-five per cent. Is
so low as to make large profits on impOrta-
tions surety, at much lower prices than
prevail on American goods, yet under the
impOsitions of the monopoly, foreign and
home prices are ordered by the pool to re-
main equal, thereby preventing outside
competition. The penalty for underselling
American goods is forfeiture of bond. One
Chicago dealer who imports over fifty per
cent. of the ign article entering the
portssof the United States, is placed under
$4,000 bonds annually. He is obliged to
give this bond in order to obtain any wall
paper of American make, which comprises
One-half of his business. There are fifty
four firms in the United States which an
nually pay $4,000 each TO get Is per cent.

amount of S10S,0OO pays the salaries of the

DEL.
Permanent Riches.

Although much has been said concerning
the comparative cost of the mineral pro-
duct of our mines, the uncertainty of min
ing speculations, and the unreliable charac-
ter which is attributed to mining enter
prises, it would probably be difficult for
any other industry under the same circum-
stances to present so favorable a showing.
During the past thirty years 10000 men
on the Pacific Slope have added over 900
100000 in gold to the substantial and in
destructible wealth of the country, and it
may be questioned whether the same num-
Der of people have produced, even where
surrounded by the most favorable circum-
stances, a sum which will nearly equal this
amount in value, even should the charac-
ter of the different products be ignored. A
bushel of wheat produced by the labor of
the farmer has for time certain value
which may be estimated, but when that
bushel of wheat has been consumed its
value dies practically, and no longer exists
as factor in commercial transactions An
ounce of gold or silver taken from the
mines by the miner, and placed in the
channels Of commercial activity, may per-
form its part as measure of value over
a ii over again for years, and as it cannot
be destroyed it retains this value power as
long as it anywhere exists, and never loses
this characteristic OF value. We repeat
our opinion many times stated, entirely
ignoring the different circumstances and
conditions surrounding it, that no produc-
tive industry in this country has or can
make'a better showing in real wealth pro-
duced than that which tends to the de-
velopment of our vast and inexhaustible
mineral resources, and we base this state
ment upon facts and figures which are
readily available.
