The bloody assassination Of Sun
day has again aroused the people Of
Los Angeles TO very angry mood.
There is no installing the temper Of
this community OF late. A long series
Of brutal murders here has incensed it
10 the point OF quick resentment. In
all ages Of the world the use OF the
knife, except In specially appointed
combat, on equal terms, has been &C :
cepted rs the infallible test OF the cow
ard and murderer. II gives the at
tackled party absolutely no show. He
is wounded when he wards of the blow
OF his assaulter and he Is dead outright
il he fails to do so. There is some
chance Of ife when the pistol is EN-.
ployed, but The man who deliberately
imports a knife into a chance contro-
versy has murder sitting at his pusil-
luminous heart. The time has passed
In this community for leniency to such
wretches. The use Of the fist or the
bludgeon, perhaps even the pistol, does
not necessarily presuppose murderous
intent. The employment Of knife al
ways does. Just as a special severity
of punishment was lealt out to garroters
in distinct ton TO other highwaymen, so
should a remorseless rigor be extended
by the courts to those who do their
fellow beings to death with knife.

The Raisin Grape.

The HERALD has, from time to time,
cautioned its readers against being rash
in planting Muscat grapes in our warm.
high mesas, where they bear well enough
for few years and then become very
slow and inattentive to business, and do
not produce enough grapes to pay ex.
penses, while the same grape on sitter
soil is constant bearer. 1t also called
attention to the fact that the raisin in
dustry must he established by long and
constant attention to the business; that
the market had to be worked up by per-
sonal effort, and the fruit must be uni.
form and of superior quality and style
of packing.
Some fanatical journals urged every
body who wanted to plant grapes to
plant only the Muscst for raisins, and
assured them of monstrous profits from
the raisin business AT the same time
this journal called attention to the fact
that it was best to go slow and not over
do the business, as half of the crop was
still unsold and a market would have
to be worked up as it has to be done
with all other products.
The California raisn will no doubt be
the great favorite raisin in the future.
but it requires years OF intelligent en-
ergy to introduce it into the markets Of
the world to make it profitable to the
grower. A few have favorite brands
and advantageous ways Of marketing
their crop, but the majority do not find
the same success. With these facts in
the case, it is well to be cautious and
not take too much risk. "Be sire you re
right, then go ahead, is a good motto
in making our delicious raisins and turn
| ing them into coin.
At present the French wine grapes
pay much more than the raisn grapes,
and command cash without the labor
and expense of preparing and boxing
for the market, These things should be
thought of seriously Besides, the
French wine grape for the last three
years has borne heavy crops, while the
Muscat has done next to nothing ON our
mountain mesas. The new wine from
foreign grapes can now be contracted for
at double the price of wine from Mrs ,at
or Mission grapes. The truth seen to
be dawning at last on the minds of our
fanatical neighbors, and they are in
clined TO pause in their mad rush Il

A CAREFUL reading of the New York
papers shows that the adherents OF Tam
many reached New York City from
Chicago with closed mouths. They de-
clined to speak of their future course,
except in instances where Tammany dele.
gates declared il to be their purpose to
support the ticket Amongst such was
Alderman Tuomey. The rest admitted
it to be their intention to submit to the
decision of the govornink committee of
iamnNusrRslh-- We like this attitude.
Much as we despise the course OF John
Kelly, and no reader OF the HERALD is
ignorant of the intensity OF our detcsta-
ton OF this man, it is well to build a
golden bridge for ones enemy to pass
over. The time to have disposed OF
John Kelly forever was after he had de-
feated Lueius Robinson for Governor of
New York, in 1879. That exigent duty
devolved upon the Democratic National
Convention which met at Cincinnati in
1880. We regret to know that it was
shamelessly shirked. The Tamnany
Hall delegates were admitted as homo
rary, though not voting members OF
that Convention. On its platform there
was dramatic love.feast between Kelly
and John r. Fellows, the same gentle
men who figured as contestants in the
late Convention at Chicago That indie.
cision resulted, in all probability, in the
defeat of Gen. Hancock. The recent
Democratic National Convention, like
its predecess neglected TO throw Mr..
Kelly out OF the Democratic fold. I'm
der the circumstances, all that is left to
q sagacous Democratic leadership is to
see Mr.. Kelly, ami to see that lie is sub
stantially Satisfied. Such course is not
as dignifed as formally reading him out
of the party would have been, but it is
the best that Is left to us now. One
of the most illustriou4 Democrats in the
United States, in an interview with cor.
respondent OF the New York Herald,
said that Kelly was too good Democrat
to bolt, although that gentleman, unless
he was of very intirm memory, must
have been very well informed OF the
Robinson and Hancock episodes Of
Kelly's infamous career The only way
to prevent Kelly aud his Tammany
adherents from boiling is to make Z
worth his while not to bolt. Precisely
the same train of reasoning applies t.
Gen. Benjamin +. Butler. These mel

proval of the several resolutions of the

tective tariff as necessary protection to

the policy of the government is to pro.

imposition of duties. The monetary
system of the country is the work Of
the Republican party. 1t is one. he
