Indications are not wanting that Los
Angeles has started upon the up grade
in very hopeful style. A few months
ago a large manufacturer became so
discouraged with the stagnation of the
times that he was seriously con-
templating the removal of his plant to
some northern city. But, not finding
an opening to suit him, he kept on
doing the best he could. A few days
since he received very liberal offer
from parties in the northern part of the
state to move his plant there; !;
but times had SO brisked up
and new orders had poured in upon
him SO encouragingly, that he unhesita-
tingly refused to accept the offer. As
this gentleman is engaged in the
foundry business, the fact that there
is a very satisfactory revival in that
interest is Indicative of renewed stimu-
lation in all the very important classes
OF industry that require machinery and
implements.
We have also heard that gentleman
who has been extensively engaged in
the fruit preserving business near San
Jose, has permanently moved here after
having made thorough examination of
our fruit prospects. He believes that
we are just entering upon an era ofgreat
prosperity in production, and that the
industry in which he has had so much
experience is about to become of the
ExpufS 10
iected this as the most promising field
in the state for his capital and his ener-
gies.
1t is fact that good fruit lands
within eight miles of this city can be
purchased cheaper than the same grade
of lands at the north. And when we
consider the possibilities of these lands
and the very large returns now realized
from those that are aptly and intelli-
gently cultivated, the prices at which
they are offered for sale are far below
their actual value. There is hardly any
horticultural use to which these lands
can be put that will not eventually as
sure the owner of returns all the way
from $100 to $3.50 per acre each season.
Surely lands that will do this are well
worth what they will produce in single
year. These low prices, however, will
not prevail always. Like everything
else, good lands will attain their true
value in the market when their produc-
tive possibilities are thoroughly known
by people abroad. The man who buys
now cannot make mistake. He will
purchase at the lowest figure, with a
certainty that his investment will in
crease in value as the splendid resources
of our section are developed.

Pensions and Politics,

Senator Vest, of Missouri, in protest.
ing against the passage of the depend
ent pensions bill, drew attention to the
prostitution of this noble benefaction to
partisan uses in the following striking
remarks
Take the last report of the commits
sioner of pensions, and what does 1t
show? Indiana furnished in the war
1876, ,l47 soldiers; Illinois, lying side by
side, furnished 25S,211. Indiana has
upon the pension roll 42,553 pensioners,
while Illinois has but 36,595. There
are two states with the same sort of
population, sprung from the same stock.
Western soldiers, led by the same sort
of officers, and why is it that this
enormous disproportlon exists between
these two states? Does any senator
pretend to say that the men who were
led by Logan were backward in the con-
test and upon the battlefield? Does any
man pretend to say that the soldiers OF
Illinois-those iron regiments that were
hurled in the western army upon the
confederacy until they pounded our
veterans to pieces-were backward in
the fight? Why is this enormous dis
Read the report of the examining COM
mittees and the evidence taken when
Dudley was commissioner of pensions
and you will find the solution. You will
find that it was declared and it was
acted upon, "Give pensions freely, iber-
ally; every man that you can pension is
made or induced to vote the Republican
ticket" Ohio, instead of 1876, ,147 SOL
diers, furnished 81, 1873, and Ohio has
upon her pension roll 50,OS1 pensioners,
against 1888 for Indiana. Penn
sylvania furnished 366,326 soldiers.
Indiana, as l have stated, furnished
1876, ,147, and Indiana has upon the pen
sion roll 1858 and Pennsylvania but
AZ, ,361 or about 1000 more pensioners
when they furnished two and hall
times as many soldiers. Massachusetts
furnished 157 1856 soldiers against 1885,
147 for Indiana, and instead of AZ, ,563
pensioners, Massachusetts has 2O,272.
illinois furnished 63,070 soldiers more
than Indiana, yet Indiana has on the
pension roll 5,963 more pensioners.
BILE excuse may be made; say that l
and the conviction is steadily growing
! upon UIlt IlOucSU 1lOll VI Cillo
that this pension bureau is being used
for political purposes, and that the
general feeling of the United States to.
wards the soldiers who preserved the gov
ernment is being prostituted for partisan
purposes. Sir, 1 do not care to
indulge in speculations as to how much
money will be paid upon these pensions.
| l shall not be here to see the end of it,
but prophesy that the people OF this
country will revolt against this system
as at present carried out. know that
this money is being distributed, not only
among the recipients themselves, but
it goes to country merchants,
to petty dealers, and therefore
it percolates and permeates every;neigh.
borhood of the country, and is the larg-
est campaign fund that can possibly be
used. But there will come an end to it,
The American people are long-sufferine
and patient, but their common-sense
and their sense of justice will at last re.
volt against the abuse of the most gen.
erous and holy feeling which people
can entertain for its soldiers.

A GREAT deal of indignant CONNIE

A GREAT deal of indignant comment
was heard on the streets yesterday in
connection with the activity said to have
been manifested by the two or three
members of the police force around the
polls. They seem to have taken part
in the election in full uniform if not
with stars on. To be sure only couple
of the men are reported to have thus
forgotten the rule. The fire department
is said to have been busy, too, in one
ward at least. 1t is violation of the
rules, and ought not to be repeated.
Mr.. Clarkson says he is in favor Of civil
service reform. Perhaps this is the sort

POMONA ought to be selected as the
point at which to establish the expert
mental agricultural and horticultural
station. 1t is central, and pos
sesses all the advantages Of soil,
climate, etc., which such station
should have. Professor Hilgard was
very favorable to Pomona, and induced
the people of that place by his encour-
aging words to donate the land required
for a station, and to raise the funds
for erecting the necessary buildings
thereon. The amount required for this
purpose is $4,000 The amount actually
contributed by the citizens of Pomona
was 81 800, the residue was to be made
up by the citrus fair committee from
the surplus carried over in their treas
ury derived from the profits of
the late exhibition. At this stage
of the affair Riverside suddenly came in
~ a competitor for the station, and re-
quested the citrus fair committee to stay
proceedings until a committee.appointed
by the citizens of that place could lay
their claims before the board of regents
of the State University, which has the
selection of the location. Whilst we
should not have word of objection to
offer against the selection of Riverside if
her people had put in their claim at a
reasonable time, we do not believe that
it is just to Pomona to set her aside for a
new rival after she had all but perfected
every requirement exacted from her by
the terms of the selection.

Longevity on the Throne,

On Saturday, May oath, the queen
completed her seventy-first year, an age
which has been exceeded by three only
of her predecessors on the throne--viz.
George H., seventy-seven years; George
Ill, eightytwo years, and William w.,
seventy-two years. On June 10th next
her majesty will have reigned over the
United Kingdom for fifty-three years, a
period of time which has been exceeded
by two only of the English monarchs-
Henry Ill, whose reign lasted for fifty
six years, and George Ill, whose reign
extended to nearly sixty years.-[Pub-

The San Francisco Examiner has
created a sensation by exposing frauds
against the government in very i'm
portant line of supplies furnished by
contract to the navy yard at Mare
Island. 1t seems that ex-senator Nc
Cudden, of Vallejo, has invariably sue
ceeded in getting the contract for fur
nishing coal, and it now appears that
the secret of his low bids was in the
shortage of his delivery. By the aid Of
weighing clerks he delivered much less
coal than his contract called for, billing
it to the government at the full weight
he agreed to furnish. One instance is
cited of the delivery of less than nine
hundred tons in contract for one
thousand. This thing has been going
on for ten or twelve years, and McCud-

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Strange Street sprinkling.

EDITORS HERALD Will you kindly
inform me whether any department of
the city government is giving it's atten-
ton to the matter of street sprinkling,
or is it simply a matter OF ''go-as-you-
please" with the drivers of the sprink-
ling carts. My reason for asking this
information is that notice few of the
drivers drive up to the hydrants and
promptly open the valve to its full capa-
city and fill their tank in from six to
eight minutes, while many of the drivers
only partially open the valve and take
from twenty to thirty-five minutes to
fill their cart.
1 think it would serve good purpose
to have a line inspector to attend to this !;
also to see that the carts, when at work,
are moved at rate of speed that would
enable person to tell whether they are
moving or not without having to get
them in range of telegraph pole or
some other stationary object.
Would it not also be economy to have
hydrants put in not to exceed fifteen
hundred feet apart, SO that the carts
would not have to travel SO far for water.
As it is now, many of the carts have to
lldul WdUCI HCdlly a hAlC, UllSll IS--
turn empty for another load, thus MAX
ing u trip Of nearly two miles for each
load used, as is the case on West Wash
ington and many other streets.
Let us hope that when our city fathers
let the next contract for sprinkling
streets they will stipulate that more
modern and less hideous looking cart
shall be used, and prohibit their being
used as they are now as perambulating
advertising medium; also that they will
require each cart to be numbered plainly
on each side of the tank.
States that would permit such scarecrow
carts to be used on its streets? A much
better system would be for the city to
own proper carts and do the street.
sprinkling itself, or else have it done by
contract at SO much per mile, as is done
in many cities. TAXPAYER.

Mr.. H. w. PATTON, the efficient secre-
tary of the chamber of commerce has
announced his resignation. The reason
given is that he is seeking the nomina-
ton for surveyor general on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Mr.. Patton filled the posi-
ton of United States land register in
this district with great acceptance to
the department and to all who had deal
ings with his Office. He not only pos
sesses the qualities but the kind of ex-
perience needed to make an excellent
surveyor general, and if he achieves the
nomination he will bring strength to
the ticket.

THE VINEYARDS ALL RIGHT.

The HERALD has paid special atten-
tion during the past eight or ten weeks
to the condition of the vineyards in
this section. The result OF our observa-
tions has been to arrive at the conclu-
sion that the vines are in an exception
ally healthy condition, with a fine crop
of grapes coming well forward, and with
not the least sign OF any trace OF the
disease which has wrought such havoc
among the splendid vineyards of this
section in the past four years. We are
very glad to have this conclusion rein
forced by the testimony of the growers of
the whole section. The correctness of
these observations is confirmed with
one voice.
Mr.. Franklin, of the signal service
Office has spent the past ten days in the
country making arrangements for the
distributing of the storm bulletins sent
out from Washington during the grape
drying season. He has visited all the
country between here and Beaumont, in
one direction, and Santa Ana in the
other. At all points he finds the vines
in condition of perfect health, with
very heavy crop of grapes on them and
all doing well. The vignerons are in
high spirits, as they are sure the
dreaded and mysterious pest has come
to the end of it's course. There were
found $50 acres of fine vines in the Santa
Ana valley. The growers at Pasadena
estimate that they will pack !, 800 boxes
of raisins. Glendora expects to
pack 5000 boxes and Ontario 25,-
600 boxes. At Cucamonga the
growers expect to market 36,5OO
boxes, and at Etiwanda SO, 900 or 60 900
boxes will be the output. This last
named point is coming to the fore as a
great raisin district. Redlands will put
up 0,000 boxes, and Riverside leads all
competitors with a prospective 245, 900
boxes. There are 16,50O acres of vines
at this place. The total pack of raisins
in this district, where the signal service
office of this city serves, will be over
half million boxes, and may run up to
three-quarters of million.
The above figures deal with raisin
grapes alone. The wine grapes are not
in the count. The latter class of vines
greatly outcounts the former in
this section. Thus it will be
seen that there is great deal
of valuable vineyard left here still.
And should the autumn days come and
the crop ripen without any disease
showing itself, there will be great
boom in the planting of vines It does
not cost as much to buy vineyard land
as it does to acquire that suitable to
orange culture, nor does it cost so much
to plant an acre of vines. This is par
ticularly true, as the industry will be re-
vived next winter. Instead of putting
1000 to the acre, probably not more
than 600 or 700 will be set. Then the
vines will bear small crop the second
year after planting, and a paying crop
the third year. All signs here point to
better times after next fall than for four
years before.
