THERE are passages in Stanley's letter
which require explanation. Those who
have followed closely his description Of
his expedition, wonder why he adopted
the Congo river route to reach Emin
Pasha, whilst the route from Zanzibar is
one-third shorter. The New York World
is among the anxious inquirers and
thinks that Stanley's treatment of the
natives, as acknowledged by himself, is
unnecessarily cruel. "The remarkable
features of Stanley's expedition" says
that paper, "is that it seems to have
been marked by trail of gore. Starting
from the mouth of the Congo with a
herd of sheepish negroes, Stanley claims
to have advanced into the heart of war.
like Africa, shooting and Staying as he
went. How could his little band stand
up against the fierce fighting hordes OF
the interior? 1t is remembered that
Baker, Livingstone, Burton and other
noted explorers found it easy to travel in
Africa without resort to arms. Why is it
that Mr.. Stanley's course is ever marked
by bloodshed? Why is it that he is ever
wading through slaughter to the throne
of Science? Is it because he is brute,
or is it because he is a pompous, vain
glorious liar ?"

If THE Santa Fe Company expects to
remain in the railroad business it will
have to employ train dispatchers who
can keep somewhere near the run of the
wheels on the road. Three smaeh. ups
in twenty-four hours, all serious, but one
horrible, and all the result of careless
ness ia dispatching, coupled with igno-
rance of what trains were on the road,
would seem to call for radical reform in
this department of that company. The
horrible catastrophe at Lorenzo station,
near Chicago, could not have happened
without the most criminal carelessness.
The car that was wrecked started from
this city with party who had spent the
winter here. 1t was Manager McCool's
special car, and Judge Brunson OF
this city, was one Of the party, but,
fortunately, was not on the car at the
time. Four lives paid at once the PEN
atty of somebody's blunder, and several
others will be added to the list. Such
blunders are worse than crimes. and
there should be some way to mete out
exemplary punishment to the guilty
ones. Men who hold lives in their hands
should be held to fearful account for
fheir fatal blunders.

Disturbed a Meeting.

A colored man by the name of Wash
ington White was arrested yesterday on
warrant charging him with disturbing
a public meeting. The Rev. r. G. An
derson, the colored pastor of a colored
congregation, swore out the complaint.
According TO the account given by the
pastor, Mr.. Washington White had been
given letter OF dismissal from the con-
gregation, and had taken offense at the
church. He had recently presented
himself at the house of prayer and had
disturbed the meeting by light remarks,
even venturing to insult the cloth. White
was taken before Justice Stanton and
ordered to appear for trial to-day.

THE official report for April of the crop
prospects throughout the United States
puts California at 9S, the highest in the
LIST. The appearance of the country now
is even more promising than it was when
that report was made. Southern Califor-
mia will produce a phenomenally full
crop, and it will be much largor in vol
ume than it has ever been before. Los
Angeles county will lead all other
counties in the extent of its pro-
duction this year. Her people have
done nobly. Emerging from boom
which had had a demoralizing effect
upon agricultural energy, they stripped
to their work and plowed and seeded
about twice as much ground as has ever
been planted before. The result will be
seen in harvest that will attract the
attention of the whole country to the
matehless agricultural wealth of this
county.

THE gentlemen appointed to select a
site in Southern California for the State
Reform School started for San Francisco
last night, TO meet in the Palace Hotel
this evening. They have twenty offers
before them, and will probably make
their selection at that meeting. Why it
was considered necessary by them to go to
San Francisco to come to a definite con-
clusion about site in Southern Califor-
mia, is something that has caused re-
mark. If they wanted to secure retire
ment they could have found it as well in
this capital city of the South as in the
emporium of the North. Any of our
hotels can furnish as much privacy as
the Palace.

A DEs MONIES paper says that the next
State into which the tides of immigra-
tion will pour is Iowa. Among other
reasons for this predicted flow is the
claim that Iowa has good water and good
climate. 1t is fortunate that water is
good there, as that is the only fluid which
can be legally drunk; but the less said
about the climate the better. Blizzards
In winter and sunstroke weather in sum-
mer may pass for a good climate in
Iowa, but not elsewhere. Iowans who
have located in California would not give
one acre CT her fertile soil for a whole
wilderness OF acres of the fat and dreary

A VERY important letter OF instructions
from the Land Commissioner to the Reg.
listers of land Offices is published else
where. The interpretations of the Act OF
March I'd, as given in this letter, will be
found to be of great interest to settlers
upon public land in California, and espe-
cially to those who have taken up claims
upon the railroad lands restored to the
public domain. The settler who has
made homestead entry without perfect
ing his claim, is entitled to make an
other entry and transmute his home
stead rights, under certain conditions.
Settlers are also allowed to absent them
selves, without prejudice, from their
claims for one year, by filing a proper
affidavit with sufficient reasons for the
absence, such as failure of the crops,
sickness, etc. The price of railroad
lands, which had been raised to 81. so, is
reduced to the regulation price of 81. %
per acre. This will be good news to the
settlers on the Estrella and other lands
that had been Withdrawn from the At
lantic and Pacific Railroad. Another
benefcent feature of the law, and
which is vitalized by this letter, is the
right accorded settler who has taken
up less than quarter section to make
up for the deficiency from other public
lands. The Act of March I'd and its in
depreciation in this letter of instructions
are in keeping with the liberal policy o.
the American Government toward
settlers upon public lands.

WE take the liberty of suggesting to
the Council that Second street is in a
most deplorable state. especially in front
of the City Hall and HERALD office. For
the life of US we cannot see why First
and Third streets should be paved while
Second street is neglected. The matter
is the more to he regretted because the
windows of ore of the leading hotels OF
Los Angeles front on this thoroughfare.
The odors that salute the nostrils OF the
denizens of this caravansary for tourists
render the seven and seventy smells OF
Cologne venial in the comparison. We
should be pleased to hear some explana-
tion of this neglect and positively de-
lighted to see it remedied.

A Morning Burglary.

This morning about 80 O'Clock man
was discovered making an entrance into
the saloon of T. B. Marchant, at 1I9
Wilmington street. Mrs. Marchant, who
saw him getting in at window, alarmed
her husband, who pureued the fellow
into a closet in the yard. He refused to
come out when summoned by Marchant
and fired two shots at the latter through
the door. Marchant then took shot at
him In turn and struck him in the left
thigh, the bullet passing through and
lodging in the other leg. He was taken
to the police station and after his wounds
were treated he was booked for burglary.

THE meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday, although notlargely at
tended, was highly interesting one. Sta
tistics were presented from the several
railway companies centering here, which
showed that our shipments for 1888 had
increased 149,3S7 tons over those for
1887, and that the gross tonnage Of
freight received and dispatched from our
several depots amounted to the enor-
nous total of S02, 1872 tons. Our
shipments abroad embraced the
citrus fruits, wines, brandies, wool,
fruits, mill stuffs, raisins and
beans. This exhibit did not, OF course,
include shipments by sea, which COM
prised immense quantities of corn and
other Los Angeles products. President
Jones assured the Chamber that this
section was now fitly represented in the
travelling exhibit in the East. Figures
were given which include things easily
raised here, but which are shipped to US
from the East. This phase OF the
situation will be wonderfully changed
for the year 1889, when our ship
ments abroad will embrace several mil

DETROIT, April 10-Light SHOWS and

have resulted in the most remarkable
drouth this spring that the lumber woods
of upper Michigan have ever expert

enough water in the streams to float
