SOME means ought to be devised to
obviate serious difficulty encountered
in the grading of Los Angeles street.
The Electric Railroad Company has a
franchise on that street, and its track is
laid there. But the corporation is bank
rupt and not able to comply with the
terms OF its franchise. Those terms i'm
pose on the company the duty of paving
the street between its tracks and two
feet outside OF the rails on each side.
Property holders are paving as they have
been ordered to do, but the moribund
railway is not. The consequence is that
the granite blocks are laid to
within two feet OF the rails and
there stop. The space not being
paved, is being filed in with
loose earth. Los Angeles street is occu-
pied. for the most part, by wholesale
houses, and there is much heavy team
ing done on it. The big trucks after they
pass off the granite blocks on to the loose
earth must knock down the blocks. One
layer after another will be ripped out OF
place until the paving is ruined. Then
the city will be obliged topave the whole
street at the expense Of the general pub
lie. The city ought to pave for the rail-
way company and hold the cost as lien
on the franchise and plant. If the city
cannot do it, the contractor should be
to do the work and take lien
on the road for his outlay. The Board
OF Public Works should look into this.

The Chinese Question and the Cali.
fOrnia Vote.
The New Orleans Picaysae Of recer

The New Orleans Picawae Of recent
date says:
California has eight votes in the Presi-
dental Electoral College. In the last
election they were cast for Blaine. Cali.
fornia is doubtful State, but ordinarily
where no public issues that specially con.
Germ it's people are concerned, California
is more likely than otherwise to 90 Re-
publican, but such result is by no means
certainty at best. When, however, in
terests which Immediately affect Califor-
MIA are at stake the State will vote for
the conservation of those interests, no
matter which party may be directly bene-
flied thereby. This is the KEY to Cali
fornia's political position in every in
stance.
By all odds the Chinese question is the
burning issue with the people of the
Golden State. They look upon Chinese
immigration as a special curse. Long
ago they would have fenced out those
Asiatics if they could have had their
way. They have prayed for the exclu-
sion OF the Chinese in vain until they got
their wish through the action of Presi.
dent Cleveland. But for him they would
have had continuance of the system
which permitted an almost unlimited in
vasion of the Chinese hordes. The
people of California understand their
great obligation to the President, and
they mean to acknowledge it at the polls.
The eight electoral votes of California
will be cast for Cleveland. OF this we
are satisfied.
The man who penned these paragraphs
knows more than little regarding the
Chinese question. The Republicans of
this coast are trying hard to make out
that the issue is out of politics. 1t is not
and never will be until the Chinese are
actually out of the country. The very
people who say it is out of politics know
i is not and prove they know it by their
acts and words. Mr.. De Young said at

City and Township.
SECOND street has wisely been ordered

SECOND street has wisely been ordered
sidewalked from Los Angeles street to
Grand avenue. 1t is the chief artery OF
communication between the city center
and the hills along the west end. The
rains are close upon US, and it would be
well for the Street Department to urge on
the performance of the work in view
with all possible dispatch. If the side
walk could be laid before the wet weather
is upon us in force, the relief to the
pedestrian public would not be light.

IN Artists Experience with an Adiuiring
Ayrshire.

An Artists Experience with an AdruirIns
Ayrshire.
Edward Gay is an artist OF some note
who lives in Mt, Vernon. and he is
highly esteemed for his thoroughness
OF system, his entertabL ing and merry
disposition, and his capacity for tell.
ing a good story. His specially in
painting is landscape, but if n should
ask him his opinion OF pastoral studies
a scowl would steal over his face FOR a
moment, to be followed By a smile and
an acknowledgment that 1T was my
fault"
Mr.. Gay, last autumn. took up his
easel, a piece Of canvas stretched upon
a frame, a palette, his brushes and
oils, and went to a large and beautiful
meadow, not three hundred feet from
his house, ard took upa position under
large apple tree. He had sketched
the outline of the pretty picture before
him, had put on the groundwork and
had brushed in a part of the grass on
his canvas when luncheon time
came. The sky was cloudless,
hence there was no fear of a
tornado, and as it was too late in the
year for a thunder storm, he concluded
that his apparatus would be safe
enough where they were, but it was a
luckless conclusion. When he returned
from luncheon a great Ayrshire COW
stood under the tree with both feet
planted on the canvas. She had licked
of all Of the paint representing the
green meadow, had chewed the leather
seated stool, and was about swallowing
a long leather strap with which MIR.
Gay bundled every thing together.
When the artist attempted to protest
against this wanton assumption OF a
strange COW she became ~belligerent.
A friend asked Mr.. Gay if his paint
ing of the meadow was so natural that
the COW mistook it for green grass?
We'll, | learned that the COW had
belonged to an Irishman," he replied,
luughingly, land was brought up from
Il calf on the things thrown oft from
the house. In fact, ! came to the cor
that she would eat almost any |
thing."-N \. Tribune.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL,


The fall, so far. has been unusually
favorable for sowing small grain, and
il is to be hoped that the farmers have
made good use Of their opportunities.
1t is now too late to SOW oats with any
reasonable hope Of their withstanding
the severe freezes which are likely to
occur, except below the parallel of 81
or - degrees. In the piney woods
and cost region November is a good
time to SOW.
We have before stated that we do
not advise farmers generally in the
cotton belt to SOW wheat. While
it is well to diversity crops, and as
nearly as practicable to produce
the supplies needed for home on
sumption, yet there is a limit in diver
styling beyond which it will not be
found cXpedieut to 60. Almost with
out exception every farmer in the
South should produce all the food nee
esSary for his stock, a full supply of
bacon, lard, milk, butter, beef, NUT
ton, fruits and vegetables. These Items
are mentioned because the soil and
climate are perfectly well adapted to
their production, and they are or
should be considered Indispensable to
comfortable living, But our conditions
are not so generally adapted to the
production of wheat, although flour is
one Of the articles Of prime desire. and
most farmers therefore find it mex
pedient to plant this crop.
There are localities on most farms in
the chill country and some even be-
low the metamorphic formation, where
wheat is about Us certain and reliable
a crop rs it is anywhere. These To-
c~alities are usually found on the highest
points, the soil being gray or chocolate
and undertake by a good stiff or gravel
ly clay. Old land, moderately fertil-
lied, is better for wheat than strong.
loamy, fresh soil. After all the efforts
to procure q reliable variety of wheat
none has been found to give better
results than the old ':blue ste.u"
or purple straw" Land that
has been in cotton or other
clean culture crop is the best.
A~mmoniatcd manure gives the best
results, cotton seed having long been a
standby for wheat or otter small
grain, though rather too rich in am
