In the Geographic news in the HERALD
to-day is q very interesting dispatch
derived from report made by the Agri-
cultural Department at Washington. 1t
relates to the cereals exported from this
country. The salient facts in this report
are that the production of wheat is being
overdone, and that more profit may be
derived from the production of other
crops. Rye is the staple bread-stuff OF
the greater part of Europe, yet
we do not produce it in any great
quantity. Rye, then, is much more
valuable than wheat, because OF
the fine quality of paper it makes. And
think of this ountry importing its pota-
toes from Canada and Germany! What
we need in all parts of the country is
more diversity of industries, more self
containment, SO that we shall export and
import less of what we produce and use.
The American Union is capable of living
almost entirely on its own resources, and
the nearer we come to that state the bet
ter for us.

The Council yesterday passed an
ordinance which designates the route of
the outfall sewer, and is preparatory to
the Inauguration of the work. The line
of the sewer is from the southwestern
corner of the boundary line of the city,
thence along the line of the Santa
Monica railroad to point at Ballona
station. From here to the ocean the
line will probably follow the county
road until it reaches the Will Tell lakes,
when right-of-way will have to be
secured to the beach, where the sewer
will debouch. 1t will be seen that a
very considerable section of the route is
through the Cienega and Tijera ranches,
which are wet ranches, and do not need
the sewage. There is incomprehensible
blindness amongst proprietors of tracts
west of the city, whose lands need and
would be greatly benefited by the city's
sewage, but who have wilfully repulsed
all offers TO have it pass through their
lands. They will live to regret this
serious mistake.

EX-MAYoR HEWITT has declared. in a

ExMAYoR HEWITT has declared, in a
newspaper interview, that editors should
not be appointed to foreign missions,
because in their professional capacity
they have necessarily, at some time, been
compelled to criticize the government to
which they may be accredited. In other
words, the objection is that editors have
formed opinions and written their views
upon questions that they might have to
handle in their diplomatic capacity.
The deduction from this kind of logic is
that men who know nothing about pub
lie questions, who have particularly re-
Trained from studying them, and who
have no opinions whatever upon national
or international subjects, are the only fit
persons to represent the country near
foreign governments. Such conclusion
is absurd. 1t is on par with that other
absurdity which the courts are rapidly
exploding, namely, that no man who has
read anything about murder should sit
upon jury to try the murderer. When
Ambassadors are selected on Mr..
Hewitt's plan, the densest ignorance and
the most vacant intellects will represent
us abroad.

CHICAGO, May 20.--A most horrible
revelation, made in the investigation Of
the Chicago public insane asylum, was
that reached to-day in the testimony of
George Hill, locomotive engineer now
employed on the Lake Shore and Michi-
gan Southern railway. He was admitted
to the institution in January, 1888, suf-
fering from slight mental arrangement,
and was discharged as cured in May.
When he went to the asylum, an attend
ant named Lott asked him if he was in
sane. Hill said he was not. "Well,"
replied Lott, 1--WE will make you a id
sight insauer than you are now" An
other attendant named Julian ordered
Hill to sweep out his room, and on his
saying he had not come there for that
purpose, knocked him down and kicked
him in the body and mouth, knocking
two teeth out. Hill tried to cover his face
by getting his head beneath bench when
Julian turned the bench over, breaking
Hills arm. Hill rolled up his coat
sleeve in court and showed huge lump.
where the ends of the broken bones {,
badly joined, stood out. They knocked
him down again, he said, and broke one
of his ribs. His arm caused him gre at
pain and he could not set proper treat
ment. He tried to see the doctor, but
Julian told him that if he dared to speak,
he would kill him right there. One day
Hill had an opportunity of conversing
with Supervisor Jones and told him he
was badly treated. Afterwards two at
tendants knocked him down while
Julian repeatedly kicked him in the
head and breast. On getting up, with
the blood running from his face, Hill
said he would have justice some day,
whereupon Julian cursed him and
knocked him down and kicked him
again. Hill said that new patient,
named Levy, was brought in one day.
He did not know enough to go to the
dining room and attendants Julian and
Lott Knocked him down and jumped on
his stomach until he was unable to move.
Then they picked him up and threw him
O the bed. Levi died that night. The
courtroom was still as death during this
awful recital. Judge Pendergast in
structed the witness to bring in his wife
to corroborate his story, and a physician
was detailed to examine Hills arms and
ribs.
Several other witnesses testified to
brutality of the attendants, the misera-
BILE quality of the food, etc. County
Physician Todd testified that Robert
Burns, whose death resulted in this in
vestigation, did not die of consumption,
as was stated by Superintendent Herman
in the certificate of death.

THE Massac Company OF Lower Cali
fornia has succeeded in selling their
mines to the Six Chinese Companies in
San Francisco. We shall now see what
is the real object of the Chinese COM
panies. Every body feels that there is
something under this purchase besides
legitimate mining. II it should turn out
that for every Mongolian brought to
Lower California to honestly work in the
alleged mines, there should be half a
dozen taken there from China to be sent
over the line by the underground rail-
road, and thus circumvent the Exclusion
Act, nobody heresway would be greatly
surprised. Let US carefully watch de-
yelopments. Every excluded coolie got
into the United States is worth several
hundred dollars to the Chinese slave
masters, who will, of course, leave no
device untried to smuggle the chattel in.
Coolie smuggling is going to pay here
after bigger money even than opium
smuggling. 1t will be remembered that
the Chinese Companies, through the Mas
sac corporation, gave forth some time ago
that the object Of the purchasers of the
Lower California mines was to secure
remunerative field of labor for Chinese
miners in this State who had been thrown
cut of employment on account of the de-
cisicns of the Courts closing hydraulic
mining in the mountains. In comment
log upon this bonnie bouche of explana-
iion, the papers friendly to the dicker
tried to ma Ike rs believe that in this way
the idea CT exclusion would be benefited
for it would lessen the Chinese already
here, and who have the right to
remain. But we took no stick in
this explanation. We knew, and every
body knew, that the Chinese engaged in
hydraulic mining we're mere laborers,
and that they had no special knowledge
which any green coolie could not acquire
in a few days' practice. Besides, the
''timeo Danaos" caution came into play,
and We mistrust gifts from the Chinese
as well as Greeks. In fact, we know that
people well enough to be certain that
they are not going to lose valuable coolies
p: y sending them tEcm here TO Lower Cali |
fornia. when they can get all they want

MOST of our housekeepers are in a
complaining mood just now because OF
the rise in the price of sugar. Yet the
saccharine substance is not dear if COM
pared with former years. In the last
ten years sugar has varied at the re-
fineries at from So cents in May 1887, a
year ago, to 1919 cents in November,
1879. The prices are for cube; granu-
lated being 53s in May, 1887, and 1874
in November, 1879. The averages fol
the ten years were 9.51 cents for cube
and 8. 18 for granulated. The price now
is 81 and 81 cents.

attack upon Tamassse, but they were
persuaded to use no violence and to allow
the incident to pass unnoticed.

TEE wrLKEsBARRE MURDER.


The Capture OF ..Red-nored FIiKe''
and the Recovery OF Fart OF the
Money.
A special from wIlkesbarre, Pa, says:
The capture Of Michael Rezzello, s'Red-
nosed Mike" and the unwilling of the
mystery Of the murder of Paymaster Nc
Olure and Assistant Flanagan Is the sole
topic of conversation here.
The detaila of the recovery Of tho rifle
and money were learned yesterday morn
ing from one of the detectives. Acting
on information furnished by Rezzsilo,
the confessed accomplice of the MUIR
derers, Detectives Thayero Of Philadelphia
and Heffernan of this city went to the
Wilkesbarre mountain on Saturday after
noon and at 4 40 returned with heavily
loaded satcbei and . Colts rifle, together
with number of cartridges and come
other reminders of the tragedy.
The aatchel Yves that carried by Pay
master Mcclure on the morning OF the
murder, and the rifle in one OF the weap.
ons that caused his death It is nrdaf-
stood this. about 80 900 OF the Sl2 900
which the satchel originally contained
was found 10 it. The cash was turned
over to Captain Linden, and by that gem
tleman deposited 10 the Wyoming Ma.
tional Bank, from which II was drawn by
the paymaster on the morning of his
death.
The prisoner, Razzello, directed the
detectives 10 the spot where the money
md riffs were found. He described the
place accurately. aud the officers had no
difficulty in finding II. The location was
on Laurel Run creek, about two miles
south east of the aoene OF the murder, an
eighth of mile from the trask of the
railroad, on the main highway leading
from Parsons to the stream.
The money was hidden beneath the
roots Of huge tree which projected from
the rocks above the banks OF the creek.
The money was we'll secreted, and il il

years before any one, except those who
placed 1t there, could find it or give infor-
nation of its whereabouts.
In speaking of the case, Detective
ThByer said "This Is one Of the most
remarkable cases on record. A case will
be made out against Nike. He ia guilty
and the proof against him is positive.
His accomplioes will soon DO arrested. I
know whero they are. They cannot
escape" Captain Linden returned to
