The defeat of the Converse wool tariff bill
in the house yesterday simply swept away
the last vostige of democratic hope for sue
cess in Ohio. Democratic members from that
state sadly admit that what chance of victory
they had in that state has been ruthlessly
sacrificed. 1t should not be concluded how
ever, that the democrats have thrown away
a great opportunity. They never had any
more chance of carrying Ohio in presiden-
tial election than an ordinarily educated hog
has of getting to Heaven.

According TO the present indications President
Arthur is The man Of all othex to lead the repub.

point that way, Entering upon the Office under
peculiarly distressing circumstances beset at the
threshold Of hs administration by difficulties Of
the most embarrassing nature, lie has steadily
grown IN popular favor. Suspicion was dlsarmed
and hnimoslty turned to admiration. lie has not
been the head Of faction. Abraham Lincoln
himself was not more thoroughly determined to
obey tho win Of the people as against the behests
Of cllques and factions. He has succeeded in har.
monizing the republicans of his own state, and In
winning to his support the more conservative elo-
mont, which pays little heed TO the crack OF the

The political fortunes of the democratic party
have reached thelpoint of desperation. The Nor.
rson tariff bill cannot pass even the house. to say
nothing Of the senate. The measure OF tho popu.
larty of the bill is found In the fact that when IL
was introduced Mr.. Morrison was promising
candidate for the presidency. Now his name Ia
not mentioned for that office at all. Tho bill is
an utter, irretricVabl6 failure, and It's author also

about tariffs let him come forward. Hitherto the
Ignorance displayed has been gross, dense, aud

The Canadian Exodus.

QUEBEC, April 7.-The proportions of the
exodus from this neighborhood to the United
States are becoming alarming. From one
parish, in Montmagny alone, last week 325
persons left, of whom 200 never intend to
return to Canada.
MONTREAL, April THE unusually large
exodus this spring of French Canadian work
ingmen and their families from this city and
the province to the manufacturing cities in
New England is attracting attention. At
this season there is usually an emigration of
workingmen across the line, but this year
the stream is reported by the customs officials
to be unprecedentedly large 1t is roughly
estimated that nearly 100 Of these cmigrants
leave the depot in this city daily, and the
majority are men with families.

A singular ROBBERY

A mysterious robbery took place on
Friday night at Basserman's store, oppo-
site the Baker block. A rear window
was raised. in spite Of the catch which
1t is said was set, and carried away, II Is
claimed, about ten bolts Of cloth Of va.
rious kinds. Strangely enough . bolt
Of fine, blue, police cloth aud another of
= very valuable kind were left unstolen.
why the common kind Of cloth was
taken and the best kind left is not known.
II the window catch had been set over
the sash, ii seems strange that 1t could
have been moved without making some
noticeable marks In forcing 1t open. A
couple Of trays Of cheap jewelry were
left unmolested in the front Of the store,
showing that the thieves were gooi
judges of what the people wanted and
supplied themselves with those goods
that were standard article. The night
was brilliant with q full moon, so that
person would be readily seen in pack
ing away the goods. They must have been
carried away in wagon If il all. Now
who saw a wagon loaded with dry goods
drive away from this store after the cleo
trio light was put out, The whole affair
is quite mysterious. This store when
occupied by former tenants has previ-
ously been robbed and seems to have an
unfortunate history.

An Assay once wanted,

The United States has an assay Office
at Helena. Montana, for the test and re-
fining Of bullion. 1t appears by the re-
port Of Mr.. L. A. Walker. Assistant As
sayer ut Helena, that the whole amount
Of bullion there refined in 1888 was
$773.70o in gold and s23,7o0 in silver,
making only s796. 900 for whole year.
for the business Of the office. 1t seems
quite unnecessary to keep an assayer
and au assistant asssyer at Helena, Mon.
tana. for the assay Of this small sum.
The same amount could havo been fur
nished by single mine, tributary to Los
Angeles, with dozen other bullion pro-
ducing mines to spare. The mines trib-
utary to Los Angeles. and approached
by rail, will yield s2,700, 900 annually,
with constant increase in yield.
This exhibit Of production should be
properly set before the government at
Washington and proper steps taken to
transfer the Helena Office to Los Angeles.
With an assay office in this city the bull
lion Of all Western Arizona would come
here t6be refined. Here is the natural
and proper center for the assay and re-
fining of bullion,
Los Angeles has become the great min.
ing center Cf Southern California, the
home OF the miners and owners of mines,
and here is the proper place for an assay
office and U. s. Mint. There is no need
Of mint at Carson, Nevada, now. That
should be transferred 10 Los Angeles,
which is the proper place for mint and
an assay office. This city is now the
proper mining center Of Southern Cali
fornia aud all Western Arizona, and is
entitled to the location Of United
States assay office and mint.
If it were known that U. s. Assay
Office and mint were here, there would
be large amount Of bullion brought
here for refining and coinage. A move
,nent should be made to secure both of
these institutions in our city at an early
day.

The Herald Abroad.

Mr.. n. w. Westbrook, Of St. Louis,
No., who has been reading the HERALD
for the past year. writes under date of
January 4, 1884, as follows: "My wife
and self prize the HERALD more than any
other paper we have ever taken. especial
ly as we had intended making California
our future home, but we are tied right
here by circumstances over which we
have no control, but we have given your
valuable paper to Others who have read,
been convinced and gone to build up
homes in your beautiful State. hon.
estly believe your paper is doing more
good towards fillirg up your section Of
the State with good class Of emigrants,
than oil the other papers or documents
published there, and I think I have
had good opportunities of judging; for
about six months ago undertook TO get
up colony to 60 to San Diego, and re-
ceived documents from all parts Of the
State, but none were so satisfactory as
your paper; the local news being regard
ed as more reliable than the documents
that were printed, evidently, for the pur-
ose of encouraging emigration"
This is frank expression of stran-
ger. and is only specimen Of other COM
munications that are constantly coming
to the HERALD Office from all parts Of
the country. 1t has always been the
aim Of this Journal to gather information
concerning every industry of tie coun-
try and publish the most accurate statis-
tics concerning the same. No field has
been omitted or sighted. From raking
CLANS on the beach, through all the va
ried ways and means of getting livins
from our opulent land, mp to the great
mills that grind the rocks of the MOUNT
aims into gold and silver, the HERALD
has mentioned all industries by name.

A couple of years ago the Gazette pub
lished several quite exhaustive articles
on the subject of sorghum, but other
matters Of interest have since been topics
Of discussion, 10 that little has been said
Of the industry Of late. At the time
mentioned it seemed as If the growing of
cane and the making Of syrup would be
very generally gone into by the farmers
Of the county; and just why that indus.
try is not in greater favor with agricul-
turists We cannot comprehend Certain
ly the results obtained by those who
have steadily grown the cane will justi-
fy others in giving part Of their land to
its culture.
Mr.. J. Y. Anderson, of Westminster,
has raised the cane for years. and finds
it the most profitable crop he has ever
grown. although he has raised 100 bush
els Of corn to the acre on his
rich peat land. His best record
is l34 gallons of syrup from half an
acre, and 200 gallons to the acre is q
common crop. He finds it impossible to
supply the demand for tho syrup, which
he sells at wholesale at IS cents per gal
Ion. Thus the gross income from an acre
of cane il $50. The cost Of boiling the
cane is not great. nor is the necessary
boilers and furnace expensive. With
the assistance Of two men he can make
seventy.five gallons Of syrup day, and
for fuel he uses the stalks of the cane
after they have been run through the
mill-bagesse, II is technically called
and thus formidable item of expense is
avoided.
In enumerating the virtues Of this
crop, it should be stated that the seed is
far better than wheat for chicken feed.
and that for that purpose the seed from
an acre of cane is equal to that much
corn. -Anaheim Gazette.
