A small boy was 20 interested In the
accounts Of the four hangings last week
that he accidentally hung himself, ~ de-
scribed In our news columns. His eager
ness to rec just how the thing wns done
should not DO hastily condemned, ,as that
sort Of q curiosity Is very good thing
In boys, and the force Of practical expert
ments II recognized in the new schools
Of industrial training. He made fatal
mistake In applying his researches
to the subject Of capital punish
ment; but, after all, perhaps 90
ciety 10 to blame for that, az
there will he an interest In hangings az
long a. men are hanged, and tho boy
can not be blamed for sharing II with
the rest Of the world. That kind Of pun
ishment may excite the horror ofa great
many good people, but o large proper
ton Of the community regard II with a
feeling Of morbid curiosity, and the
scientific interest Of the unlucky small
boy was certainly less rsprehensible.
About year ago young man hanged
himself over his bedroom door while
trying to prove that the accidental sui
eide Of Bill Sykes, a. described by Dick
ems, was an impossibllity. These unfor-
tunatc experiments may excite little
sympathy because Of impatience with
people who would risk SO terrible an
end for an object SO trIfing, but every
time that the law hangs man
II risks terrible mistake. His
guilt may seem beyond all doubt, and
the man unworthy Of pity, but human
Judgment Is fallible, and what Is done
on the gallows can not be undone. The
first apparent effect Of the four hangings
was to furnish interesting II not elevat-
ing reading to thousands Of citizens ;
the next Is the pitiful experiment Of the
scientific small boy F; and ex periencc does
not prove that the final effect will be to
discourage crime. There would be no
thrilling reading about sentence Of life
imprisonment. The criminal would
quietly, and without tragic posing, dis
appear from public view to monoton'
Gus existence us terrible as death but II
innocent, lighted by hope, no matter
how faint.

In York on Monday Noah WALES, aged
eighty, shot himself to escape the long
suffering Of disease. The odd Romans
would have found this a noblo net, but
Christianity finds II more noble TO endure
to the end and hold liie sacred under all
circumstances. A woman who found this
old man still living after the fatal shot, and
who evidently supposed that he had failed
in his effort, told him that he ought to be
ashamed Of himself for attempting such O
thing, especially as he was so old. She
was right, but would have been more kind
and no doubt near the truth if s!ie had said
nothing and assumed that suffering and
weakness had made kim irresponsible.

1T Is reported that the Amir of Afghan
istan has issued an order opening Herat
and the neighboring country to Russian
trade, and also that the Amir Of Bokha is
to visit st. Petersburg with a gorgeous suite
and install his son In the imperial corps OF
pages. The last item II not of very
great Importance, but IN interesting
evidence Of the survival of the
historical fondness Of the Russian
court for these displays of oriental magnifl-
cence. For centuries the czars have been
pleasing their vanity at regular intervals
by receiving the submission Of Asiatic po-
tentates and very often the ceremony
meant nothing at all; tho amiers or beys
receiving gifts Of great value and giving
promises of no consequence whatever. In
the present instance tho amier Is a mere
Russian puppet, his province being
completely In the power OF the cxar
and the Bokhnran army under Rus
sian officers, while tho Russian military
trans -Canpial railway passes close to his
capitol. The order of the amir of Afghan.
istan, Is however, of great importance.
Herat Is close to the boundary of Russian
Turkestan and has been strongly fortified
under the directions of English officers.
Students of the question have predicted
that this city, with NIL tho territory to the
north OF tho Hindoo Koosh mountains,
Is destined to fall under Russian con-
troll and that England might as well
submit, as the mountains will make
far moro scientific frontier. The
British are very sensitive to any hint
OF Russian advance, however, and have
hitherto counted on the amir's violent
enmity to the car as their best guarantee
that the Cossack would not be allowed to
draw any nearer to the frontier of India.
ft is true that commercial concessions
have been granted TO Russians there il
something wrong in tho British calcula-
tions aud they must hasten to look afler
their amir.

A ltElST"S.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-10-30

From the end of December of this year
to the end of next March there will be
great deal of this produce to be sent
abroad.
Like oranges, not all land here will
produce winter peas, beans and toma-
toes. The frostless belt along the foot
hills is the proper place for this indus
try. Beginning at Santa Monica canon
near the ocean and following along the
highest mesa, Just where the mountain
takes its final spring, is the thermal
belt where the least sign of frost is
never seen. 1t lies close to the Cahuen-
ga pass, and comes up to the Rancho
Los Feliz. The higher levels of the San
Gabriel valley is similar region, and
on both sides of the mouth of the river
at Duarte, Azusa and Glendora is as good
land for the purpose as there is any
where. In fact, all along that foothill
strip peas and tomatoes ripen all the
year. At Azusa and Glendora the peo-
pie have put in large crop of peas and
tomatoes looking to this winter trade.
But it is along the Cahuenga country
that the largest activity prevails. The
farmers all the way from the Lick tract
to Monte Vista have put in great
many peas and tomatoes.
Perhaps the largest amount put in by
any one man is on the Rodeo de las Aguas,
where A. H. Denker has sowed great
many acres. This ranch is one
of the very best in the section
for the enterprise. 1t is above the
touch of frost, it faces the rising sun at
all points, it has plenty of water and a
fine soil. Mr.. Denker has taken advan-
tage of these things to put in great
many of these winter vegetables, and
expects to reap a big reward.
Those foothill farmers find it no un-
usual thing to pick 500 to 700 pounds OF
tomatoes from an acre; and five
to eight tons of peas. For years
they have been making small fortunes
from the sale of their crops in San Fran
cisco, and now they are to make large
fortunes from similar sales on great
scale in Ethe east. 1t has been no un-
usual thing for them to get 5000 to $500
for the crop from an acre. This past
spring the Chinese gardeners here made
5000 to $500 an acre from cabbages.

OUR PRIME OPPORTUNITY.

The agent of Wells, Fargo & Co. in
this city, Mr.. S. A. Butler, some six
weeks ago addressed circular letter to
the agents of the company at many
points, desiring them to make inquiry
among local dealers as to the feasibility
of handling green vegetables during the
winter months if these should be shipped
from Southern California. The circular
emphasizes the fact that this section is
the only one in the country where these
things can be had during the months in
question, and it also sets out tnat during
the past winter such shipments were
successfully made as far east as New
York, and to many intermediate points,
the consignments reaching their destina-
tion in prime condition and selling at
satisfactory prices. In answer to these
inquiries Mr.. Butler has received many
answers, a number of which have been
handed to the HERALD.
From New York the agent wrote Civ
ing the substance of interviews with
many dealers. They say tomatoes would
sell at $500 to $1,000 per bushel; peas
and beans at $500 to $500 per crate of
about one-thiri of bushel; cucumbers
at $1.00 to $500 per dozen. From Chi
cago, Sioux City, Boston and other
points come equally favorable advices.
The agent at the last named place says
there would be large demand from
Christmas to the end of the winter in
one and one-halt bushel crates. He
says asparagus, caulihowers, artichokes,
tomatoes, peas and beans will sell we'll.
This is the new industry that is
destined to enrich this section, nearly,
if not quite equally with oranges.
To the lists given above may be
added early potatoes and cabbages.
Large quantities of these were sent east
last winter, and the shipments will be
increased very much this winter, and
steadily grow year by year until train
loads are sent out every day. The
Southern Pacific during the current
year in nine months to September 80,
carried out of the state the following !:
From San Francisco, onions, 1858, ,65C
pounds; potatoes. $685. 1856; other vege-
tables, 2,297 400. From Oakland, po.
tatoes, 1920 pounds. From Sacra-
mento. onions, 166, ,15O potatoes. 4,102,
$40; other vegetables, 537, ,170. From
Stockton, onions, 10000; potatoes, 22,-
400 other vegetables, $4,000. From
Marysvillle, onions, 31,300; potatoes,
331 $50. From Los Angeles, onions,
1876, $50; potatoes, 3,27s,39O; other vege
tables, 3,1S4, ,440. From Cotton, pota
toes, 325,540; other vegetables, 22,050
The figures showing the Santa Fe's
business in this section are not at hand.
They might double up those figures
gwen above for Los Angeles and
Cotton. OF course that road does
not do business for the other points in
the state. 1t seems quite safe to say
that Southern California shipped east
for the year to date some $4,000, ,OOC
pounds Of vegetables, principally pota-
toes, cabbages and onions, with cauli.
flower. peas, beans, peppers and other
similar products added.
For some months past very vigorous
aeffort has been going on, looking to q
great increase in this business, with
