MELBoURNE is the name OF the man
who says he can produce rain whenever
he pleases, and is now operating with
his machine at Canton, o. He claims
that his apparatus met with an accident
which has set his experiment back; but
he has no doubt that he will bring down
the showers in few days. Melbourne
says he prefers week or SO of drouth
to moist weather to operate in. After a
good drouth he says he has no difficulty
at all in producing a first-class rain.
He claims to have been very successful
in bringing down rain in Australia
whenever he wanted to. When we are
asked if we believe such stuff as this,
and that Melbourne can produce rain
at will, we feel like answering as Sena-
tor Benton did to a similar question

ventor and protector is not Morse
but it is we'll to treat them all with con-
sideration, lest we should at some time
send away an angel in disguise.

few public men in the United States
who have as well-balanced notions
about the tariff and other national is-
sues as Mr.. Carlisle. 1t is twentv-six
years since the war closed, and yet the
fact that Mr.. Carlisle halls from Ken
tucky might be of itself enough to bar
him out of the list of eligible candidates.
In this respect Mr.. Morrison is more for
tunate, as he resides in Illinois, just
across the Missouri border. There are
multitudes who think that Colonel Nor
rison, however, is by far the least able
of the conspicuous tariff reformers, that
his horizontal tariff reduction bill was
the ..egregious failure of the age, and that
his decisive defeat for reelection to
congress shows that he is anything but
popular man. Mr.. Carlisle is far the
abler and more statesmanlike man Of
the two, with but the single drawback
of hailing from Kentucky which, it
seems to us, ought to have very little
weight in this year OF grace.

INVITING THE DELUGE.

The German press believe that Will
liam's visit at Hatfield, the family seat
of Salisbury, who was to entertain the
Emperor there for day or two, will re-
suit in the clinching of the secret treaty
already entered into with the dreibund
by the British cabinet. The only thing
the public know definitely about that
treaty is that the English government,
in case of war, guarantees to take care
of the Mediterranean coast with its fleet.
The question has been put point blank to
the government in the commons several
times, and Ferguson each time has re-
fused to deny the existence OF such a
treaty, but has justified its principle In
the interest of peace. The visit OF Will
liam was in the interest of enlarging the
scope Of this secret treaty, if possible.
The weakness of the dreibund is on the
sea; if England has been brought into
the alliance she will more than offset
France in that respect, and would leave
the three powers to concentrate their
land forces against France. 1t is be-
lieved in the best informed circles that
Williams Hatfield visit will commit
England so completely to the alliance
that if hostilities should suddenly
break out the British feet would
at once receive orders which would pre-
cipitate the nation inextricably into the
war as an ally. That the unfriendly
policy of the cabinet towards France is
deeply resented in England by the solid
classes is evident from the course of the
members who represent them in paria-
ment. Salisbury will not be permitted
to involve the nation in an alliance that
is opposed to the sentiment and the
best interests of the people, merely to
crafty the family pride of the ruling
sovereign. Should he make this mis-
take and plunge the nation into an un-
provoked and unpopular war, it would
arouse sentiment which would soon
dispose of government by family inter-
est instead of by the will and the inter-
est of the country. Not only the royal
family would have to go; but the house
of lords would go with it.. Whatever
little prestige might yet rest with the
degenerate noblesse Of England, would
also be wiped out in the cataclysm that
would ensue. 1t looks very much as ii
this were another attempt OF the mon
archical order to suppress France
because she is Republic. The banded
nations tried their hands at this game
against the first Republic OF France.
They, however, paid dearly for their
temerity in that case, as they will also
be very likely to do in this. The France
of 1891 is not the France OF 1871.

In MEXICO the money standard is sill

silver standard, which is the
standard OF valuation OF about two
thirds of the nations of the world, gold,
at the date mentioned. was worth about
127, the par of silver being 100. Prior
to 1873, which hereafter is going to be
looked upon as an epoch in the financial
history of the world, gold was for con-
siderable period, worth in silver only 81
or 90; but it then began to rise, and in
1883 it went to premium of 145 as
measured by the standard of two-thirds
of the people of the world. We say sill

railway, and incidentally to develop the
mining interests which Mr.. Baldwin
owned there years ago, and which
can now be worked to an advantage
which was not possible under the
conditions of transportation which ex-
listed when Baldwin first started in to
work them. This is only another evil
dence of the universal activity of de-
velopment which characterizes our
neighboring county. A boom Of gigantic
proportions is on in every portion OF San
Bernardino county that possesses large
water sheds and contiguous plains. The
great results which have attended the
distribution of water to the south OF the

chronicled from the bitches which will

FoR some time past the Bear Valley
Land and Water company has been

announcement in the HERALD that it
was being formed. The statement was
discredited in some quarters. However,
articles of incorporation have been filed,
with capital OF 81 100000 1t is to be
devoted to the development of water, to
lumber and mining interests. The di-
rectors include Mr.. E. J. Baldwin, of the
Santa Anita ranch, Los Angeles county !;
Reuben H. Lloyd, ESQ.,, the Messrs. W..
s. Wood and George W. Waldron, of San
Francisco, and Mr.. H. A. Unruh, of Los
Angeles county. The plan is to take
water out of the lake north of the dam
of the existing Bear Valley company,
which supplies Redlands and Alessandro,
to bring it on to lands owned by Mr..
Baldwin, to build fume to transport
the abundant lumber which can be cut
on the mountains surrounding the lake

BISHOP VERDAGUER returned to Los

popular ecclesiastic is one of the land
marks of Los Angeles. When he arrived
in the immediate neighborhood of this
city he was met at Monrovia by a nu-
merous delegation of our citizens, who
recognize his conspicuous worth. Father
Peter was known for many years as the
indefatigable and noble priest OF the old
Plaza church. The TACT that the Holy
See has thought fit to advance him to
episcopal honors is one in which all our
people rejoice, irrespective OF creed. He

delighted to chronicle his presence again
amongst them. He spent last night at

imperialism with the tenacity and per-

JUST now there is a slight lull in the
potato trade of Los Angeles with the
eastern states, although the shipments
are still considerable. There will be
decided revival in the fall, as there will
be big demand for Los Angeles pota-
toes in Colorado, Utah and adjoining
states at that time. The HERALD learns
that the Southern Pacific railway alone
has earned on freights on potatoes going
cast this season from Los Angeles
county over 100000. In view Of the fact
that, until recently, train loads of that
tuber were coming into this county from
Kansas and Missouri, we have certainly
worked miracles in that line of pro-
duction during the past three years. The
same story is being told as to all pro-

= ADJUSTMENTS. A

The Limited Mai, which will be at the
opera house on Thursday evening, is
spoken of by the Cincinnati Enquirer as
follows: "Heucks opened the new the
atrical season auspiciously yesterday.
The handsome theater held two large
audiences to witness the performance of
the latest melodramatic production, The
Limited Mail. 1t is a decidedly sensa-
tional creation, with many features of
thrilling interest. While the author
does not show much originality in the
dialogue or general plan of his play, it
abounds in comedy and dramatic pas
sages which cannot fail to hold the con-
stant attention of the listener. The
story deals with life on the railroad in
the far west, in which many realistic
scenes are introduced. Pathos and
humor, with some bloodthirstiness, give
spice and variety to the unraveling of
the plot. Love and its vicissitudes, of
course, play an important part, and vii
lainy of the wo.st sort is constantly in
terfering to interrupt the harmony OF two
young hearts. The Limited Mail met
with an enthusiastic reception, and the
company contributed much to its pleas
ing presentation. The climax of the
third act, where the heroine bravely pre-
vents the destruction of the limited
mail by placing a torpedo on the
track after the telegraph wires had been
cut by the desperate villains, was most
exciting. As the train sped by and the
note of warning was heard beyond the
station the audience seemed to enter
into the spirit of the scene, and set up
vigorous shout of exultation. In the
end virtue and love triumphed over
avarice and baseness. The play is one
which gives satisfaction, and the mem
bers of the cast deserve credit for their
admirable work. Pretty, petite and
piquant Florence Bindley was as capti-
waiting as ever. She fascinated the au-
dience, not only by her acting, but by
the clevernees of her specialties. Master
Harry Blaney is lad who will make his
mark on the stage. He exhibited sur
prising talent, and was versatile and nat
ural in his important role of Jim Har-
land. Charles E. Huntington offered a
good character paIt as Jim Hawkins,
the tramp, while the other principals
and subordinates were equal to the roles
assigned them. The Limited Mail will
be presented at Hauck's every night this
week and at tie usual matinees."

CORRESPONDENT of the HERALI

writes to ask US where Vasquez was ex
ecuted. He was captured in the Ca
huenga range of mountains in May,
1874, and was hung in Los Angeles.
Vasquez was fitting companion pic
ture to Murrietta. They were both types
of an extinct race, the telegraph and
railway being fatal enemies to this err
ratio style Of being. In character and
exploit they both resembled the bandits
of the Roman campagna and of the

precarious in Italy and dangerous in

The Los Angeles Terminal railway
company effected strong local organi-
zation, yesterday, by the election of
Hon. William H. Workman as presi-
dent and the Messrs. Gibbon and
Wincup as directors. Mr.. Hobart, of
st. Louis, resigned the presidency OF the
road, because he would be unavoidably
absent at the meetings of the director
ate, and this idea has influenced the re-
organization all through. The powerful
pecuniary support OF the st. Louis syn
dicate will of course be continued.
