THAT Fort Worth and Northwest Texas immi-
grafton society is going to bring tens OF thou
sands of wheat growers from the great Northwest
ern grain regions into Texas. Seeing the adj
vantages of climate and the quality of soil as
compared with the hyperborean regions of Da-
kota and Minnesota there is no question of the
outcome. 1t will add millions of acres to the
grain fields of this state and stimulate an immi-
grafton southwark that viii not stop at the Pan
handle but which will locate Itself all over West
Texas as far south as the gulf. Texas can give
points to all the great Northwest and more than

ONE very significant circumstance
about present developments in Los An
geles is the great interest shown by all
the Eastern railways in the place. They
are all establishing direct agencies here,
and preparing to take charge by their
own staff representatives. of passenger
and freight details. Nearly all the roads
doing business west of the Missouri are
already represented here directly, while
the others are preparing 10 be. They
one and all pronounce Los Angeles a
good town and although it is the fash
ion with some of our local croakers TO
decry it is suffering under depression,
it does not appear SO to them. They
say it is one of the liveliest cities in the
United States. There is, unquestionably,
in some lines, too many business
houses, but this is being rap
idly adjusted. If rents were marked
down to reasonable figure, what with
the premise of fine crops and the heavy
railway developm ent now going on and
imminent here, times would be quite
lively. In many instances rents are thirty
and forty per cent higher than they should
be. The natural result is that many peo-
pie cannot pay them and busines
suffers. They ought to be scaled down
where excessive.

SOUTHERN CALIFoRNIA's great orange
crop is beginning to move off in excel
lent form. The golden fruit is rolling
eastward in solid train loads. The
orchardists at Riverside report that they
are receiving $1.75 for seedlings, and So
for budded fruit. These prices are net
on the trees, by the orchard. Seedlings
will average two boxes to the tree, or l5C
to 200 boxes to the acre. At $1.75 box
this is $275 to $3.50 an acre. Budded
fruit will yield perhaps as high as three
boxes to the tree, one hundred trees to
the acre. These figures are fully con-
firmatory of the claims that orange groves
pay $40O to 500 an acre a year, some
running as high as $500 to 81 900.

SENATOR HEARST left Los Angeles last
night with very high opinion of both
the present and future of this section.
As Mr.. Hearst is one of the most saga
cious business men on the Coast, bis
opinion will carry great weight. His trip
yesterday through the San Gabriel valley
and over the city supplemented his ex-
periences on the sea.coast very happily.
He has no hesitation in announcing that
Los Angeles county has great future
before it, and he was especially surprised
at the splendor and magnitude of many
of our business and residence buildings
in this city. Senators Jones and Stan
ford have placed themselves on record in
testimonials to our practically unlimited
resources and future greatness, and Sen
ator Hearst comes in very pleasantly to
round up the tributes.

ST. LOUIS, February S.-The fight of
Henry Dieckman, President OF the Maun-
telborgess Milling Company, to Canada,
continues to be the chief topic of CONVEX
sation in financial and commercial circles.
The amount of his defalcation is esti-
mated at from fifty thousand dollars
upwards, but the exact figures are not
obtainable. The heaviest loser will
be his mother-in-law, Mrs. Meyers,
of whose estate he has been
trustee for several years. For the past
three years Dieckmann has been fa-
miiar figure on the Merchants Ex-
change, and had gained the reputation
OF bold specnlator. An attachment suit
against him by Mrs. Meyers was the
first intimation OF anything wrong with
his finances. AS soon as notice of this
suit was given there was general
stampede among commission men to
learn whether or not Dieckniann was
their debtor. 1t was found that his
transactions had been much larger than
supposed and that he had had dealings
with nearly every firm on the board, as
we'll as some Chicago houses. 1t is now
believed that his reason for so widely
distributing his orders was to conceal
the extent of his dealings. The exami-
nation of the books of different firms
discloses the fact that, on the whole, he
has been most unfortunate speculator,
his good investments being invariably
followed by bad ones. Scarcely single
account shows him to have been any
thing but loser. Dieckmann leaves
an invalid wife and three children, the
eldest but seven years of age.

If THE evidence of DIR. Beach, alias LIE
Caron, in the Parnell-Times issue, could
be believed, that individual would, by
his own confession, be the most stipend
GUS scoundrel in history. He says that,
at the close of the American Civil War
in 1865, he joined the Fenians and other
Irish emancipation organizations with
the deliberate purpose of betraying their
secrets to the British Government. He
claims that he attained the entire con-
hdence of his Observation-Disclosures, and
held high positions of trust inside the
secret societies. He remained in their
confidence for eighteen years, yet during
all that time he admits that he was act
ing as a spy of the British
Government, corresponding with it

CHICAGO, February 8.-Little six.year-
old Annie Redmond, who was kidnapped
nearly year ago. and for whom search
was made nearly.paralleling that for the
lost Charlie Ross, was returned to her
home this evening by singular chance.
The strangest feature OF the case is that the
child has never been outside of the city,
and was at one time since her kidnapping
the subject of court proceedings, and for
two months past has been in a public in
stituton. A Mrs. Harper went to-day
to the Home for the Friendless, looking
for child to adopt. and was attracted
by little girl in the schoolroom whose
face was very familiar. On making in
quiries OF the child she was told
that her name was Flora Gurley.
Mrs. Harper persisted in her ques-
tioning and the little one finally
said her right papa's name" was
John Redmond. Mrs. Harper, who
family, then discovered what had at
moned and the little girl taken home.
after vainly prosecuting the search for
months, became demented as the
result of the strain on his mind,
and few weeks ago was sent to the
asylum. When the little girl was dis
covered to-day, a friend was dispatched
| to the asylum to bring the father home in
hopes that the sight of his child would
restore his mind, it being weak only on
that subject. Redmond arrived this
evening, and the judgment of the ply.
sicians was not at fault. When he dis
covered his child he was overcome with
10Y, lifting her in his arms and kissing
her q hundred times. His sanity was
restored. The little girl was taken to the
Home of the Friendless last month by an
officer Of the Humane Society. She had
been with family named Gurley, living
on Seventy-tirst street. passing for their
child. Gurey had frightfully maltreated
her, compelling her to do hard work
about the house, and beating her nearly
every day. The Humane Society's off,
Ger was summopd by a neighbor woman,
who had discovered the child tied down
in cellar after having been beaten.
Gurley was arrested, but on plea that
his wife was near her confinement and
that his presence al home was absolutely
necessary the heavy fine against him
was suspended. The girl, however, was
taken away from them and placed in the.
home. There seems no doubt she was.
abducted by the Gurleys, though why it
is not known. They have disappeared
from the locality in which they lived, but
2 vigorous search will be made for them.
Why the little child never disclosed her
identity until questioned by Mrs. Harper
is another of the mysteries connected
with this singular case.

1t Is the Means of Venting the Spite
of Enemies.
New YORK, February S.-A terrific ex-
plosion this evening blew hole through
the two-foot wall of David Stevenson's
brewery, and shattered hundreds of win
dows on Tenth avenue, in the neighbor-
hood of Fortieth street, where it oc-
Cured. Fortunately no one was seri-
ously hurt. Who placed the
dynamite bomb, for such it is
believed was the cause OF the
explosion, is a mystery. Stevenson
had lately been involved in labor trou-
bles. John O'Connell, president of the
Ale and Porter Brewers Protective Asso-
citation, made charges against Stevenson
that he was not paying his men enough
and though the charges were disproved,
a boycott was ordered. This was recent
ly removed, however, as unjust. Not
one of his men left him during the fight,
and now, in the vicinity OF the brewery, it
is thought that malice, because of these
facts, prompted the act of tonight. John
Dunn was drawing a glass of beer in
neighboring saloon when the explosion
occurred, and the glass was blown out of
his hand, and Ed. Dunn, brother, was
flung back against the pump with
a force that caused intsrnal in
juries. just at the spot where the ex-
plosion is thought to have been are five
drying kilns, but Stevenson is positive
that gas did not cause the explosion.
The Fire Marshal, who was present, was
of the opinion that a bomb was thrown
from the roof of tenement across the
way. 1t is stated at the drug store, near
the scene, that four women were brought
to premature confinement by the ex-
plosion.

A Two-PENNY fakir of reporter, in
. screed in an evening news
paper, alleges that the Democracy of this
city complain that the HERALD does not
take any interest in the pending munich
pal election. The proof of this is alleged
to lie in the fact that the HERALD has not
given the party word of advice as to
policy or men. The utter falsehood of
the fakir's statements will find abundant
proof in the columns of the HERALD dur
ing the past two weeks. More than once
or twice the HERALD has advised the
Democratic party to put up none but the
very best OF men. 1t has time and again
said that, in the present temper of the peo-
pie, the election would turn not on the
principles underlying national politics, but
on purely local questions. The men put
up will be the thing to determine how
the people will vote. The HERALD has
with all emphasis opposed any PROPOSE
fion to form coalition ticket with any
interest. 1t has demanded a straight
Democratic ticket, with Democrats in
spirit as we'll as in name, for every office
under the Charter. 1t has demanded
that they be also men of standing
in the community, able, progressive,
honest and experienced. AS to
policy, there is no need for the
HERALD to outline that to its party be-
yond what is referred to above. We feel
confident that we can trust to the intel
ligence Of the party not to depart in a
lot from Democratic precedent. We
have warned not only our own party,
but all parties, that Drained
cranks would be rejected at the bar of
public opinion. What the city wants is
a administration in business principles,
N administration which will look to the
material interests of the city, and
leaye questions of religion to the
churches and of morals to the
family fireside. We want an admins
1rstion that will enforce the law, main.
fain peace, protect life and property,
make streets and sidewalks, build q
saver TO the sea, and in all respects
make of the city something worthy Of the
rame. We would like to hear the even
- Wobbkr speak as openly as this as
- its policy.

AN INTELLIGENT working man writes a
letter, which appears in the HERALD to-
day, which contains many excellent
suggestions. Others of them show that
the writer does not keep perfectly posted
on all that goes on. AS to the prices at
which lands are held here he is in general
wrong. No doubt some people still hold
property at stiff prices, but most of the
land for sale here is held at moderate
enough rates, all things considered. There
is plenty of farming land in Los Angeles
purchasable at from SIS to $25 an acre for
gram land, 500 for damp land suitable
for alfalfa growing and 5000 to $3.50 for
the best fruit land with water rights.
Several large holders, too, are willing to
sell their lands at these prices and
ON very long time. Some Of
our best lands may be had
without paying one dollar down
on them. Others may be had for % per
cent cash, and the balance on three to
FIVE years. time. There is also plenty of
land to be had on shares. Thousands of
acres are put under cultivation this year
in this way. AS to furnishing teams,
seed, food for year, clothes for the fam
lily and sauce for the pudding, that looks
like asking a good deal for very little. 1t
is pity that it is hard for the man on
the fiat of his back to get up, but it is
more difficult to suspend the action OF
the law of gravitation and to remove the
existing disability.

constantly and giving it all
the information he could obtain, He al
leges that he must have written at least
one hundred thousand letters betraying
the secrets OF his confederates whilst he
was in their closest con6deoce. One can
understand, if he speaks truth, how the
British Government was enabled to so
frequently anticipate and crush the plots
OF the Fenians, of the Clan Ma Gael, and
of other Irish revolutionary societies.
They had q man in the councils of the
Irish patriots who perhaps was the
organizer of some of those schemes, and
at the same time their betrayer. How
this wretched traitor could have played
his daring double game for so many
years without arousing suspicion
and being caught in his own
tolls is truly marvellous. He
must have been the Napoleon of dis
simulators, and have had the sang jlroid

tho brink of an abyss, and yet must have

men: of the proceedings in which he had
participated. Had but one of his letters
miscarried during all those years, his life
would not have been worth a farthing.
The expose has too dime-novelsh
a coloring to be accepted as true.
1t is simply impossible that such
a deception could have been
successfully sustained for so many years,
and we are led to believe that Le Caron's
egotism has carried him into a field Of
fancy which lacks the groundwork OF
fact. The chances are that he was for q
time an intimate OF the Irish leaders, but
that they soon mistrusted him and thrust
him out of their councils. Indeed it is
now said, by well-known Irish-Ameri-
can, that he was looked upon as British
spy and avoided. If that is the case, he

THE Democratic City Central Commit
tee met last night and their action shows
that they have courage to be confident of
winning the pending municipal fight.
They have called primaries for next
Tuesday and the Convention for next
Thureday. This indicates that the party
intends to put up men and promulgate a
declaration of principles by which it is
ready to stand, of which it is
not ashamed, and touching which it
has no fears of any discussion
that may ensue. This is in striking con-
trast with the action of our esteemed
enemy ON the other side. Our Republi-
can brethren seem to contemplate the
nomination of men whose record will not
endure discussion, or the issuing Of a
platform distasteful to the people. They
have put off their Convention until the
very eve of election. Then there are the
disciples of the Blue-LGw regime, who
met last night and appointed commit
tee to select such men for all tickets as
may best seem to suit their peculiar
notions. Their case seems hopeless, for
surely any Democrat named by his party
for Office will promptly repudiate the
endorsement of these Marplots in pol
itics-this is said with no feeling OF per-
sonal disapproval of the gentlemen
engaged in this movement. But the
Republicans will hardly leave time for
the high political moralists to select from
their tickets, as there will not be time.
