ten been presented to him, and he would take advantage of this occasion to say that he thought he could see some slight inn provement in the last twenty five years. Who were Mormons? The white folks. Who were bigamists !? The white folks. Who were embedding from banks, steal- ing from post-offices and flching school moneys? The white folks. All the sedi- ton was uttered by white men. All the demagogues were white men. All the trusts and monopolists on the one hand, and all the strikes and violence on the oth- CT, included only white men. It was his conviction that white folks were bad lot, but not quite as bad as they used to be.
 Samuel Shinn arose to remark that he had seen good deal of the white folks, and had been brought into collision with them more or less every day for years He couldn't say, as beginning, that he liked the color. 1t wasn't fast. It ran all the way from the color of an old roan horse turned out to die to fresh snow, and he could never be made to believe that straight hair was of any good except ia the case of 8 wolf. White folks had cheated him, lied to him, stolen his wood and poultry, and he had come to distrust the race. He didn't doubt that there was some slight improvement, but even savages are com pelled to improve. He believed the time was near at hand when black would be the popular color all around, and when the man with the woody head would step to the front.
 "Gem'le said Brother Gardner, as he arose, "de queshnn has no doubt bin de- cided in de negative, but we shouldn't bar down too heavy on de white folks. Dey has had heap of tribulashun, espeshual- ly in dis kentry. fur one hev great an abidin' faith in de fucher of de white man. He is gradually learnin' to speak de troof, an to keep his hand off of odder folkses' chickens. Time will make him fear or re- spect de law, brush up his manners, an compel him to realize dat buildin' big skule houses doan' make manners nor bring bizness. Let us gin him far chance to show de stuff he ar made of. De answer to de query will darfo' be: He ar improvin' mighty slow, but expects a change of fodder will make him hustle. We will now dispel de meetin' an adjudi- cate homewards.'

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND retires gracefully and courteously bows in his successor. The country at this time gives the ex-president credit for many wise acts, is indulgent to what it deems mistakes. "Better than his party" say the mugswumps, while his party say that he was defeated because too much of 8 mugwump himself. A president in office always suffers from criticism embittered by partisanship, but the people are ready finally to give to every ex-servant the niche of fame best suited to=him, and readily react from the extreme of adverse criticism to as wide swing to the opposite. Citizen Cleveland is vel. comed back to the walks of unofficial life, and will assume profession which we feel sure that he will grace, and in which he will win further honor.

THE largest crowd, the most elaborate decorations, the finest looking procession and the most intense enthusiasm ever exhibited at the inauguration of president of the United States was that of Monday last, when Gen. Harrison took the oath and entered, upon the duties of the office which his grandfather filled in 1841-the highest elective office in the world. '
 The weather was unsatisfactory. Rain had fallen for two days, and the forbidding skies barely permitted the inaugurationsto be con- ducted out of doors. The vast crowd beheld, 8 small fraction heard, and all enthused. President Harrison's address was not lengthy, was 8 fair and open statement of what should be his policy, and as a state paper is 8 fine document, ,evading no issue, and taking broad national view of matters that will commend him to every lover of justice and good gov ernment in every section of the country.

have found the work and investigation of
the expert and practical men on the pest
question to be still question, except the
word microbe, rather too broad for any
value"
Our men of science annoy the poor
microbes with their instruments, and the
microbes revenge is to destroy the grape
vines.
Some other method must be adopted
to learn the disease. The question will
have to be asked on the vines, for in

Make chemical, quantity and quality
analysis of sap, marrow, wood and bark
of healthy vines main root fbers and
joints also Of the main stem, its branches,
joints, pipes and leaves.
Make q corresponding analysis of 4
half diseased and full diseased vine.
Compare the different analyses, and
the proceedings will answer number of
questions; it will show where the disease
commenced to work on the plant, what
substance of the plant will support the
disease, to what extent the substance is
changed,
In fact we will learn to draw the veil
of that mysterious microbe and SEQ how
it dimes, and may be able to sweeten its
meals, that it may look for another hotel.

DAILY HERALD.
VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS
From the Committee on Lands OF
the Chamber of CONNIE cree.

From the Committee on Lands OF
the Chamber of Commerce.
The following report of the Committee
on Lands and Irrigation, made to the Los
Angeles Chamber Of Commerce, was
crowded out Of the HERALD during the
week, and is now published:
We are much pleased to report Orogress
in Los Angeles county during the past
year in tree planting and cultivation to
grain.
Almost the first consideration given to
any subject by this chamber after it's
organization was upon these topics. The
work of the chamber was productive of
much good, and the result is a marked
increase in the productions Of the county.
The chamber is to be congratulated
upon the good work done, but we desire
to call the attention of the owners OF
lands to the large amounts still unculti-
waited, which are capable of producing
excellsnt crops. Where possible, the
greatest benefits can be realized by per-
sonally cultivating their lands. But
where this is impossible, we would urge
that lands be rented on such moderate
terms as to induce parties having the
stock and experience to cultivate them.
Water is being developed in many
portions of our county and citrus fruit
trees planted, and deciduous fruits and
vineyards on unirrigated lands are pro-
duciDg paying crops. But on large tracts
of land, for long time to come, the Gull
tivation of grain will improve the land
by loosening the soil, causing it to alb
sorb more moisture and fitting it better
for orchards and vineyards.
This is the eleventh consecutive year
that this county has had paying grain
crops, which certainly ought to relieve
much of the anxiety about droughts,
used by many as an excuse for their
negligence. The returgs from grain
farming are not as large as from many
other classes OF farming, yet in the ag-
gregate the grain products Of the county
excel those of any other, and contribute
more largely to the various industries.
While we are glad to help immigrants
to our midst, and to encourage orchard
planting and manufactures, we should
not neglect source of wealth that is
within the reach of all that own land
the cultivating, OF soil whose producing
powers are equal to any in the world.
One large ranch is being leased in
small farms for three years without rent,
on condition that it be cleaned up and
kept in cultivation during that period.
The owners of the land will have it re-
turned to them in better condition, and
they afford better opportunity to many
worthy men to make livelihood for a
period of three years. Both make money
and the county is benefited.
We urge upon all owners Of large and
small tracts full consideration of the
subject, and request the daily papers to
again take up the subject and assist the
good work, as no other power can.
