Born tho Charmen of the Committees
on Ways and Means and on Appropria.
tions are showing exemplary diligence
in their work, Mr.. Randall having
already prepared three Of tho most
important appropriation bills, while Mr..
Morrison has completed schedule Of
tariff reductions in his breeches' pockets,
ready for tho action Of his colleagues.
All these signs point to the determine.
tion, by the Democratic leaders, Of
enforcing q short session. Mr.. Randall
will of course, propose nothing TO dis
organize the business interests of the
country. while Mr.. Morrison proves to
be unexpectedly conservative. At the
same time that we can rely upon nothing
subversive as proceeding from Mr.. Ran
dall's committee, the politicians and quid
nuncs of the United States, whether
friendly or hostile to that gentleman,
may bet dollars TO marbles that there
will be most wholesome and sweeping
reductions in the expenditures. That is
what the people expect to see. They
will always dance to that music.

SOME MONTHS ago Mr. VIM. Thorpe,
of Los Angeles, purchased eighty acres
OF land from the railway near Bannings
station, in the San Gorgonio Pass. He
was only obliged to put up eighty dollars
on the nail and the purchase money only
amounted to few hundred dollars. A
few days ago he sold his newly acquired
property for $4,000, to n gentleman who
lives at Riverside, making n net profit
of 5000 on his $50 investment. We
mention this fact to skow the great in.
terest which is being manifested by in.
vestors of late in outside lands. Prop
erty that, five years ago, could not be
given away, is now eagerly sought after
all over Los Angeles county and at prices
which astonish those who have held it
so long. An instance in point to the
north of Los Angeles occurs to us. Some
years ago Mr.. Benjamin Dreyfus bought
at very triflng price n tract of land
which he regarded as of very small value,
and whose purchase he afterwards often
regretted. A short time ago he sold
this windfall for $4,000. 1t is in the
light of such facts that such colonial
experiments as that of Antelope valley
should bo considered. There land may
now he Lad for trifling consideration
which Is liable to enhance enormously
in value One good artesan well would
treble the existing prices, which are ex'
ceedingly low.

THE stranger within our gates, no
matter where he may go, sees buildings
going up on every hand, though II is
mid-winter. Coming from the East and,
Indeed, from almost any quarter of tho
globe, he has been wont to sec ordinary
mechanics suspend work about tho first
OF November, not to resume it until the
first of March. There is world Of dis
quisition upon the superiority OF our
climate embodied in this fact. The Los
Angeles valley is not only the Paradise
OF the farmer and horticulturist, but Of
The workingman, as well. This fact Is
being extensively realized by carpenters,
masons and other mechanics whose work,
Is ont Of doors mostly; and, as a con-
sequence, they are beginning to pour into
Los Angeles perhaps in too great num-
bers. The HERALD has always raised
voice of warning when needed. While
ii is true that great deal Of building is
going on here, and while more is in pros
pect, a city OF twenty five thousand can
not afford refuge for tho great bulk OF
the mechanics from Kansas City, Den
yer and all other points in the extreme
West, where the conditions Of the weather
are not so propitious rs they are here.
Few Of our people. in fact ever pause
to reflect upon how very happy. in many
regards, are the inhabitants of South
ern California. As wo write, sitting
in our shirt sleeves, on the 18th day Of
January, in the year Of grace 1884. with
the Office windows open, the mercury
ranges around 75'--a little above that
figure rather than under---from 10 A.
M. till p. M. Such thing seems in
credible when we read Of 30 below zero
ms fashionable figure all over the north
and northwest. The amount of poverty
here is really incredibly small-so small,
indeed, that the authorities do not think
Unnecessary to provide the poor. houses
which are so numerous and indispensa-
BILE in the East. The extreme cold which
h now prevalent in the East is not n
whit more remarkable than the almost
universal destitution which prevails
there. The tramp is recorded as a legion
In all the Eastern States. Legislature
after Legislature is cnacting severe pen
alties which are expected to repress the
genus. In the northwest the evil is OF
even larger proportions. In Chicago
they are obliged to feed eight thousand
INDECENT people daily. In st. Louis the
soup houses afford daily sustenance to
four thousand wretchcd beings. On a
lesser scale the same style of thing is
reported from other cties. How differ.
ent here! An occasional tramp or bum.
mer Is of course encountered even in Los
Angeles, but only in numbers to prove
our immunity from the pest. In truth,
no land outsideof the original Goshen
was ever characterized by n more spon'
tsneous abundance than this southern
land of ours.

Now that there are three United
States judges in San Francisco applying
their energies to the problem of prevent
ing Chinese coolies, who assume to be
merchants and Celestial gentlemen of
leisure, from entering the United States
in defiance of the Restriction Act, II is to
be hoped that something practical will
result from their labors. 1t is exceed
ingly doubtful, however, whether such
will be the case. In the first place, the
great majority of United States judges,
like the great majority of other Repub-
iicans, do not sympathize with the act
which they are called upon to interpret.
We are afraid that personal bias some
times controls even the august creature
known as a Judge.

A STRONG effort, which we hope will
prove to be successful, is being made to
repair the injustice under which Gen.
Fitz.John Porter has suffered for somany
years II is said that enough Republic
cans will vote for reinsiating him in his
old rank in the army to carry the bill
through Congress. Whether Arthur
would sign IL is another matter. If Gen.
Porter only lives long enough he will
see tardy roparation done to his mem
ory, but he will have to be an octogena-
rian, very likely, before the goal can be
attained. Who eau restore to this gal
liant soldier of the Union the best years
of his life, which have been spent in un-
deserved disgrace?

PERHAPS the most sneaking enemy
the Democratic party have in the State
of California is the San Francisco CaH.
Its pretence of impartiality is one of the
gauziest and most impudent propositions
known to journalism. 1t takes psren
nial delight in dishing up in its columns
the grossest Republican calumnies. Its
latest achievement in this line is in
holding up the Hon. Henry b. Payne as
the Standard Oil Company's candidate
for the United States Senate. 1t as
cribes his triumph to the money power,
and says that Mr. Payne has ho other
claim to political recognition than the
favor of the capitalist class. In this the
Cal maliciously and eagerly echoes the
calumnies of the Associated Press. As
matter of fact Mr.. Payne possesses one
of the most vigorous and best trained
5ntellects in the United States, and has
for the past eight years been regarded as
u very available dark horse for the Dem
ocratic Presidential nomination. In the
Democratic National Convention held at
Cincinnati, in 1880, Mr.. Payne received
the votes of the great State of New
York, and held them until il became
certain he could not be nominated. The
Call also does some sniveling about Civil
Service reform, aud says that the retire
ment of George II. Pendlcton
means that the next Presidential
election is to be fought simply
for the spoils. Here's richness

according to the Delphic hint of our San
Francisco contemporary, that the spoils
have entered into no previous struggles

THE rainfall thus far in the northern
and central counties has been very slight.
Even Colusa county, which ordinarily
has an abundance Of moisture, Is this
year as dry as a chip. Yolo has Jared
much better, and the country between
Folsom and Sacramento looks as If 1t
would be good for crop. That there are
grave misgivings in the State at large as

son is undoubted. But this Is always the
case at this time of the year. There is

The Manufacture of Limburger
Cheese.

The manufacture of limburger cheese
is growing industry. 1t is made in
this way: The milk is delivered at the
factory and strained into watts as for
other cheese. 1t is raised to tempera.
ture of 90 degrees Fahrenheit, when
enough rennet is added to coagulate the
mass in about thirty minutes. The curd
is then cut crosswise aud lengthwise Of
the vat with gang Of steel curd-knives.
Soon after it is turned with tin shovels
frequently for an hour, when it is left
for the whey to settle. If the Curl is OF
proper consistency about two thirds OF
whey is removed. The curd is now
ready for the moulds, into which it is
dipped, the whey remaining escap.
ing through the perforated sides Of
the moulds. After the curd has har-
dened to proper degree it is placed on
table slightly inclined and the whey
drined oil, care being taken that the
cheese retains the form of the moulds.
Then they are turned several times, and
finally ready to receive the salt, which is
rubbed by hand morning and evening for
four days, then gradually hardening until
they can be taken to the curing room,
where bricks of cheese are set on the
edge close together. After properly
cured they are then packed for
the market. But prices for this
cheese are also fluctuating, and the
dealer frequently needs to store
his cheese in room of unifoim
temperature to preserve it fresh and to
prevent it from becoming overripe. For
this purpose large and deep vaults and
cellars are built where it is neither too
hot or too cold-and the cheese will
keep well in Summer or Winter. 1t is
made with less expense than American
cheese, its price is less huctualing, and
hence the milk of our dairymen is
bought largely by dealers and made up
by their employees. Proprietors, we are
informed, pay eight cents per gallon for
milk to be made into limburger, or the
price of milk will be regulated by the
price received for American cheese at
the factory.

Ex.GovERNoE RICE, OF Massachusetti,
has given Pacific Coast Republicans
away in very heartless way. Tie has
said unequiv ocally to reporter that not
only will Eastern Republicans decline to
amend the defects of the existing Chi
nese Restriction Act, but that they are
heartily in favor of lis repeal. This
declaration, undoubtedly authentic as it

Henry Labouchere believes in capital
punishment. but he would substitute
garroting for hanging II once saw a
man garroted in Havana, he says, "and
am convinced that it is more merciful
than hanging. The man sits on chair
with an upright post behind it. To this
post is affixed metal band which goes
around his neck, and there is sharp
point behind which runs into the spine.
A screw is turned, when the band
squeezes his neck, whilst the point en-.
ters the spine. Death is instantaneous,
