Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-25

GERMANY's young Emperor seems to
inherit more of the solid qualities of his
race then most of us gave him credit for
possessing. If his efforts to bring about
a Russo Germanic coalition prove sue.
cessful, he will have achieved the great
est diplomatic victory of the age. 1t is
a wonder such step did not suggest
itself to those who preceded
the new Emperor. Russia and
Germany in union defy Europe.
1t is an easy matter for
these two great autocrats to make almost
any changes they see fit in the lines of
demarkation on the map of Europe.
Turkey might easily be dismembered
and Austria made mere Magyar King
dom of, did the Kaiser and Gear SO de.
eide. Great things are possible for such
a union of interests on the part of those
two last remaining specimens of absolu-
tism among the Governments Of Europe.

PARNELL, the great leader of the Irish
Homerule party, stood on the white
heights Of great moral eminence, and
stood there the winner of great moral
victory in the House of Commons of the
Kingdom of Great Britain, on Monday,
when he challenged the Tory Government
to reply to his demand that he be tried
alone. The Tory Government desires to
put the Land League and the leader
of the HON erule cause on trial at
the same time, and under the
same indictment. 1t is on the
part of the Government confession of
weakness, of failure. This is tantamount
to saying that it has no case against Par
nell. The League is large and COM
posite body. There are many Hotspurs
in its ranks, some of whom it is at times
difficult to restrain and hold within the
bounds of sober counsels. Parnell has
at times been compelled to curb the
enthusiastic spirits OF some of
his followers, and at times
his efforts in this line have
not been altogether successful. 1t is in
order to drag in all such episodes where
such counsels have prevailed that the
Tory Government wishes to couple Par
nell and the League in one trial. That
attempt is complete confession on the
part of the Government and of the un.
scrupulous Times that the case against
Parnell is not one of judicial prosecution,
but one of malicious political persecu-
ton. Parnell is already victor, and it
is only question of tune when his
righteous cause also will triumph over
English tyranny forever.

traffic will grow, until all these COM
modities will go daily in train loads.
The people of all parts of the Union
know this. A million people from the
older States have come here. They have
gone back and told their story, or they
are perpetually writing back and telling
it. California has hundreds of thou
sands of missionaries in every city,
and hamlet in the land and in every farm
ing community on the continent. These
enthusiastic eye-witnesses of the many
marvellous things they saw here are daily
telling of it all. This year the teachers,
twelve thousand or fifteen thousand Of
them have been here to visit US and they
are now going home. In few weeks
there will be four times as many
Odd Fellows in this city. They
will come from all parts of
the Union, and they will 60
back and report to their families, to
their neighbors, and especially to every
brother who bears the three mystic links,
all that they have seen.
There will be a great rush of new
people here next winter. They will
come in swarms to buy home, to &c
into business, to get farm and live on
it. From all quarters these reports
come. Returning Angelei1os tell what
they hear in their Eastern travels. Ex-
cursion agencies tell us of the great
demand for passage to our shores
The railroad companies are all making
the most elaborate preparations for what
they know will be demanded of them
Do not forget that the end of the grea
decade of the wonderful "boom" viii

ceded it.

The Committee has added an amend
ment to the bill providing that the act
shall not be construed so as to authorize
the acquisition or holding of any coal or

United States by any alien or foreigner.

NIGGARDLY COMPENSATION TO WITNESSES.
The Attorney. General has transmitted
to the House a communication from the
Acting Commissioner of the Land Office,
calling attention to the great injustice OF
compelling witnesses to appear and tes-
tify in the United States courts in Terri
tories at the present insufficient rate OF
compensation of $3.50 per day and
five cents per mile. He says
upon some routes of travel
witnesses are compelled to pay at the
rate of 10 cents per mile, each way, fol
transportation and from 81 to $1.50 pei
day more for subsistence, than the Legal
allowances for such purpose. The efect
is highly prejudicial to the interests o.
the United States in the investigation o.
fraudulent transactions in public land.
and depredations on public timber, as il
is impossible TO induce persons to admit
that they have any knowledge of fraudu
lent actions when it will result in loss O.
time and money to themselves.

REPUBLICANS raise great cry about
taking one and one-half cent a pound
duty off raisins running that industry
The HERALD has often pointed out how
untrue, unfair and unwise such sense
less howl is. We are glad to have the
figures Of one of our largest raisin growers
and Republican to verify our assertion
Less than one year ago r. B. Blowers
wrote the following, which was pub
lished in pamphlet descriptive OF Yole
county in 1887:
l have made 250 boxes of raisins from
one acre of vines, worth from 50 to $2.5(
per box. Of shipping grapes the yiele
will average ten tons to the acre, anc
| four tons per acre of wine grapes. Table
grapes bring $40 per ton wine grapes
| from 500 to $50 per ton. For shipping
use the Emperor, which yields as high
as fourteen tons per acre. Preparing
the ground is but a trifing cost-probably
$5 per acre. 1 estimate the first cost Of
planting vineyard all the way from $40
to $40 per acre, including the first years
cultivation, irrigation and rooted vines.
A vineyard, if handled with judgment,
ought to come into bearing in three
years.
l have small patch of six acres of
seedless Sultanas. got from these vines
five tons per acre for the third year, ten
tons for the fourth year, twelve tons for
the fifth year, and seventeen tons for the
sixth year. think l can safely say that
the profit on the better class of raisins is
at least $l00 per acre. have neighbor
who has made as high as 81, 100 clear
profit from five acres, and hired all his
work done. l can state approximately
that l believe there are about 100, ,000
acres of grapes at the present
time planted in California, but not
that many acres in bearing
half is in new vines. The
greatest success, so far as have knowl-
edge, must be credited to small vine
yards, we'll cared for, as against large
vineyards. l think this is the universal
judgment OF vineyardists generally. We
cannot expect to find any soil in the
world to yield well, year after year, with
out fertilizing. The seedless Sultana has
yielded me fourteen tons to the acre,
taking the four crops grown on the third,
fourth, fifth and sixth years from plant
ing, as before stated, but it would be pre-
posterous to expect to keep that yield uo
without fertilizing the soil. If the soil is
properly fertilized the vines will bear a
hundred years.

HARRISON SHAKES HANDS.
He Wants a Free Ballot and a Fair
Count.


INDIANAPOLIS, July PA delegation.
numbering bout one thousand, from
Champaign county, Illinois, called upon
General Harrison this afternoon. Hon,
Frank Wright, spokesman of the delega-
ton, read a long address congratulating
General Harrison upon his nomin-
alton and reviewing his civil AID
military record. General Harri-
son responded in an appropriate
speech. In the course of his remarks he
touched upon the importance of absolute
equality at the ballot box. He said no
interest can be truly subserved, whether
local or general, by any invasion of this
great principle. Every citizen ought to
lend his influence to that end by pro-
noting necessary reforms in our election
laws. All ought to elevate in thought
and practice the free suffrage which we
enjoy. AS long as it shall be held by
our people to be the jewel
above price, and as long as each
for himself shall claim its free exercise
and shall generously and manfully insist
upon an equally free exercise of it, by
every other man, our Government will be
preserved and our development will not
find its climax until the purpose of God
in establishing this Government shall
have spread throughout the world, ga
Government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people," After speaking
the General shook hands with every
man, woman and child in the delega-
ton.
