In OTHER columns ''W. H. H." asks
some questions of the board of super
yisors which the HERALD, as well as our
correspondent, would like to see an
swered, as to moneys advanced ON de-
inquent tax sales. Whether there is
any actual criminality or not, there is
certainly bad system. As "W. H. H. )"
points out, when inaccuracies such as
he refers to in the county tax collectors
Office are made in that of the city tax
collector, the errors are Immediately
rectifed, and the money wrongfully col
lected is returned. Why is there such
a discrepancy between the two offices
Who benefits by it?

AMERICAN GAMES.
A Middie-weight Battle.

A private letter from San Francisco to
Gus Hergitt brings word that the new
Occidental club, started in the city by
Prof. w. Watson and Young Mitchell,
is enjoying decided boom. Quite a
large membership has already been Sc
cured. Arrangements have been per-
fected for great middle-weight contest
to be given in the club-rooms soon.
Charley Turner, the colored pugilist OF
Stockton, and Alexander Greggins, of
San Francisco, will fight to finish for a
purse of $1,000. The men will fight at
l54 pounds, and the event promises to
be notable one.

A GENUINE CONTRAST.

There is occasionally great deal of
gush to be encountered in the Republi
can press about the way President Har-
rison was received by the people of the
south. OF course they received him
well, as became their traditions of hos
pitality. This course of the southern
people was contrasted by these journals
with the wicked levity of certain Demo-
cratic newspapers in the north, which
have ventured to poke fun at the grand
son OF his grand ther. Well, there was
something of a contrast between the
two. The people of the south are a
high strung, self-respecting people, who
have been repeatedly placed in false
position, and they determined to demon
strate their claims on the respect of
their countrymen. There was another
constrast in the matter which was
worthy of attention, and which gave
the southern people an opportunity of
heaping Goals of fire on the somewhat
diminutive head OF the nations chief
magistrate, and that was the contrast
between the ferocious way in which
Harrison sought to hound the people OF
the south through the force bill, bis own
darling measure, and their magnanim-
ity. Mr.. Harrison entered the
southern states fresh from a
notifying defeat in his efforts
to shackle the southern people, and
thus secure, as he thought, his own re-
election. 1t would have been very easy
for the people of the south to have made
him feel their just resentment. But
they forbore. They were too elevated
to entertain sentiment OF revenge. A
little presidential taffy, scattered here
and there with lavish hand, counted
very little with them. They were SIM
ply determined to show their respect
for the president of the United States,
and that was all.
There was one incident in Mr.. Harri-
sons trip through the south that was
worthy of mention. He was received
with respect by the mayor and people OF
Memphis. The Tennessee official, how
ever, took the pains to tell his guest
that the people of the south intended to
control their own local affairs. This
was the only notice that was taken of
Mr.. Harrison's abortive force bill, his
own eve lamb. 1t was not rude, nor
too pointed, nor too voluminous. Like
Mercutio's wound, which was not as
wide as barn door nor as deep as a
we'll, it was not too broad. 1t was just
broad enough. 1t doubtless reached the
right spot, and recalled bitter memories

POSTMASTER GENERAL WANAMAKER
does not give the people of San Fran
cisco much encouragement about their
new postoffice. He said in his speech
to the chamber of commerce OF that city
yesterday that nobody in the Golden
Gate seemed to wish to sell the govern
ment any land. There is more truth
than poetry about this. 1t is astonish-
ing how valuable a piece of land be-
comes in that quarter the moment
Uncle Sam lays covetous eyes upon it.
1t will be equally astonishing how little
value will be set upon it if our uncle shall
ever make up his mind to sell the site of
the present postoffice. "'Tis wonderful
what difference may be 'twixt tweedle-
dun and 'tweedledee."

"SUBsCRIBER elsewhere again calls
attention to the outrageous fees charged
by and allowed to shorthand reporters
in the several courts of Los Angeles
county. No flippant subterfuges can
overslaugh facts, and it is discredit-
able and lamentable circumstance that
litigation is made onerous beyond ex-
preston by the enormous costs attach
ing to process of all kinds, and perhaps
the most extortionate feature of the
whole business is this photographers
robbery, thing of daily occurrence
around our courts. When and where
will the injustices OF all kinds passing in
our midst stop? 1t would indeed be
hard to say. 1t is not too much to assert
that nothing short of an upheaval equal
in energy to an earthquake will prevent
the people of Los Angeles from being
sunk beneath exactions Of ali kinds.
The people should take some method of
seeing that the upheaval is at hand.

These three stalks were from single
hill, and each were from twenty-nine to
twenty-nine and a half feet high, and
each was graced by three immense
ears. This sounds like a "California
story" and yet it is as true as proof of
holy writ. How to explain the differ
ence between the east and Southern
California in this climatic popularity
respecting the growing of Indian maize
is beyond our ken. We merely relate a
fact, and the farmer here Of course bene-
fits immensely by it.

PRESIDENT HARRISON made confess
sion at Los Gatos. yesterday, that his
census was defective. He admitted,
after seeing the immense crowds that
had turned out to greet HIM everywhere,
that he thought his enumerators mad
not caught the full population of this
state. He added that, if we had made
kick, we could have had a new census.
If Mr.. Harrison had been a diligent
reader of California newspapers he
would have known that the press and
people of California were not only kick
ers, but high kickers on Mr.. r. B. Port
er's census. A more farcical work OF
the kind, in truth, was never foisted on
an intelligent people. The head of the
census bureau has arbitrarily dimin-
ished the population Of the United
States at least seven millions, while
there is no telling the extent to which
he has curtailed the official exhibit OF
our wealth,
Los Angeles herald., 1891-05-02

THE pleasantest thing about the Chi
cago exhibit is that it has proved to be
an unqualified pecuniary success. AS
to its artistic completeness, tens of
thousands of dollars could not have pur-
chased from the Chicago press and the
press Of the United States at large the
commendatory notices which were ex-
torted by the merits of the display
itself. The work done by California on
Wheels took months to accomplish, and
the good resulting was distributed pret-
ty equally amongst the fifty-four coun-
ties which compose the state of Califor-
MIA. But the Chicago orange carnival
was clear, clean scoop for the southern
counties. Northern and Central Cali

In EXTENSIVE travels in Los Angeles
county we have only seen one small
patch OF grain that did not look healthy.
Everywhere the crops are most abund-
ant. A great deal of corn is being
planted not only in the old favorite
spots, such as the Monte, the San Fran
cisquito, Downey, the Ranchito, and
other old time corn sections, but all over
the county. Between Los Angeles and
the sea, both towards Wilmington and
Santa Monica, the corn crop will be very
abundant. There i6 one peculiarity
about growing corn in Los Angeles
county and Southern California that is
not understood by most easterners, and
which surprises them when they learn
1T, and that is that our corn is frequently
planted after the last rain, and yet ma
lures most luxuriantly. 1t is a matter
OF fact that in most of the eastern and
western states there is period-when
corn is in the ''tassel'--when, if it does
not benefit by showers for period of
two weeks it simply dies. 1t makes
no difference what may have been
the rainfall during the year, the
Withholding OF rain for brief in
terval at this critical stage simply
amounts to drouth. Instances have
been frequent in Los Angeles county
when the ground has been ploughed
after the last rain, and yet plentiful
crops have resulted, and without irriga-
tion. The HERALD is almost afraid to
relate circumstance which is simply
the frozen truth. Many years ago, when
the lands about the Monte were in vir-
gin state, three stalks of corn were sent
up to the state fair at Sacramento that

In OUR local columns we give some
notes of transaction of recent occur
renee on the Chino ranch which illus
trates the openings which lie before an
industrious man in Southern California.
In this section such man will not only
''stand before kings" to employ the
language of the good book, but he will
get rich, and that quickly, if he stays by
the works. The latest case in point, as
we say above, occurred on the Chino
ranch. Mr.. Dick Gird leased twenty
acre tract on the shares-the proprietor
rent-to man well supplied with elbow
grease, the stipulations providing that
the tract should be put in sugar beets,
and giving the lessee the privilege OF
paying for the land at certain agreed
price, if he should so elect. The other
day Mr.. Gird looked over the tract, and
the prospect for an abundant beet crop
was so great that he offered to deed the
land outright to his lessee for his three
fourths of the crop. The latter thought
the matter over very carefully and de-
clined the offer. He did so, OF course, be-
cause he was convinced that his first
crop would pay for the land and
leave a considerable surplus. We have
not yet learned what the price agreed
upon for the land was, but we are as
sured that it was not less than 500 an
acre, az no land in that neighborhood
is on sale at a less figure. Such is farm
ing hereabouts.

THE Prince of BLOOD and Iron" will
now have an opportunity of venting his
spleen at the existing order of things in
Germany in the reichstag, as the Sec
ond ballot in the Geestemunde district
has resulted in his favor. 1t will be Gu
rious to see whether the old Junker
Chief at seventy'six years of age has
sufficient energy left to worry his foes.
All things considered, it would have
been wiser for this illustrious man to
have remained in retirement. One of
the things said by the young Emperor
William that had almost an epigram-
matte smack was when he spoke of the
old chancellor as being busily engaged
in tearing the laurels from his own
brow. His re-entry into public life will
undoubtedly be the sensation of the day.
