Capt. II, j. Hester, of Dur

lima planter, sold his tobacco in
Richmond on Wednesday and
was we'll pleased. He says the
crop around his home is getting

too much rain, while it looks
well elsewhere. He thinks the
crop will weigh out a light one

York paper says: Many of the
canning factories in western
New York are now using what
IS known as a pea huller. It is
described as a very ingenious
piece OF machinery and does
away with much of the slow, la
borious process, heretofore in
vogue. The machine takes the
peas, vines and all, just as they
come to the factory by the far
mers, picks out the peas and
shells and Sits out the dirt from
them, leaving them ready for
the cans. A trial Of speed was
held recently, when one of the
machines shelled twenty-eight
bushels Of peas in twenty min
utes.

upon taxpayers is the appalling prod
igality which they tolerate whenever it
comes to the handling of the public
moneys. All holds are let loose in this
case. Talk about the boom of 18S8-87
in Los Angeles real estate! 1t is simply
nothing to the office-holders' boom that
is always under way in Los Angeles.
The names of those who figure on our
pay rolls is really legion. Everybody
who is doing anything needs one or two
assistants to see how he. does it, and to
keep him from falling asleep at his task.
What was won't to claim the serious at
tention of one official, who felt that he
was hired to work and not to twiddle
his thumbs, now requires from two to
four tax-eaters.
Of course, we can persevere in this
career of extravaganza if we care to do
SO. We can provide goodly number of
supernumeraries to stumble over each
other, and we can pay them. But is it
wise to encourage tax-eaters' boom in
the absence of corresponding imitation
IN everything else?

X. Rowland. We encountered him yes-
terday on his return from an inspection
OF the Puente and other regions in an
easterly direction from Los Angeles. He
says that the crops can do for three
weeks yet without rain, and without
sustaining material damage. Our own
observation in other directions confirms
Mr.. Rowland's opinions. In estimating
the rain which has fallen thus far the
TACT must be borne in mind that the last
five or six seasons have been character

ANOTHER SOLID BLUNDER.

The board OF supervisors are by no
means the only people who drop link
in official proceedings that may invali
date needed remedial legislation. AS
sisted by the advice of number of our
leading citizens, the last council ma
tured a scheme of city retrenchment
and reform that would have been gladly
welcomed by our people. They drafted
an ordinance embodying this plan of
retrenchment, which aimed to reduce
salaries from the mayor down, which
consolidated offices and abolished COM
missions. This was all very we'll on the
face of it. The law says that an ordi-
nance proposing to amend the city
charter must be published for at least
twenty days in two daily newspapers.
1t was published in only one. 1t is
only sixty days after such publication
that an election can be held giving the
popular consent to amendments to the
charter. The city attorney now says
that to give effect to this ordinance
there would have to be another publ
cation of it in some other paper
than the Express, in which it has
already appeared, and that this publica-
tion must run twenty days also. Adding
the sixty days which must intervene
before the election, and the other in
evitable delays, this would bring any
possible popular ratification OF the re-
forms proposed down to the middle OF
April. AS the constitution provides for
a session OF sixty days. members after
that date receiving no pay, the legisla-
ture may adjourn on the 9th of March.
There is precious little probability of
the members staying in Sacramento
after,say the 18th to the 2Otli OF March,
without pay. AS a consequence, the
proposed to the new char
ter, even if adopted by the people, have
no chance of approval by the legislature
this year. As the sessions of the Cali
fornia legislature are biennial, this
knocks us out for two years. "Some
one had blundered, Nolan said" The
people of Los Angeles are anxious to
know to whom they are indebted for
this miscarriage of a well-intended
reformatory movement from which
much was expected. Isit possible that,
with city attorney, an assistant city
attorney and deputy city attorney, we
can't get a little routine matter like
that attended to promptly?

His Left Hand.
c. X. Walworth, president and man
ager of the Los Angeles Printing COM
pany, met with painful accident yes
terday afternoon while at work in his
pressroom on Broadway, near First
street. He was wiping the grease from
one OF the rods of gas engine while the
machinery was in motion, when the
piece of rag with which he was working
caught in the cogs of revolving wheel,
Before he could extricate his fingers
from the rag they were drawn between
two cog-wheels and horribly mangled.
The machinery was stopped as soon as
possible, and doctor summoned, when
it was found that the index finger had
been torn out of it's socket entirely, and
two of the others were badly crushed.
1t was not considered necessary, how
ever, to amputate more than one, but
the hand will probably be deformed.
BY a singular stroke of good fortune Mr..
Walworth is left-handed man, so that
he will not be incapacitated for work, as
would have been the case otherwise.

SINCE any branch of the Caucasian
race became acquainted with California,
from the days Of the intrepid mission
fathers, who 1raved the terrors OF an
unknown land and the weapons OF
treacherous and hostile savages to plant
the cross in the wilderness, and win
these wild tribes to religion and civili-
zation, to the present day, no cultivated
eye has ever rested on the San Gabriel
valley, but is lost in wonder and over
come By delight. tits very doubtful il the
sun looks down upon any tract OF coun-
try, in his course around the globe, that
at all compares with this valley. When
the scale pest and vine disease singled
out this section for the scene of their
malign operations, they, blind forces as
they are, seemed to be led by some in
stinct to select this lovely valley
for the worst developments of their de-
vastation. Three years ago SO terribly
was this work of destruction being done,
that it made the heart sick to learn
what was going on, and the mind let go
of all hope that any part of all this scene
of loveliness and of all this profitable
developmentof of enterprise could be saved
from the impending ruin. The HERALD
presents today the results of careful in
vestigation in this district. A summary
of these results reveals 750, 900 gallons
of wine crushed from 1850 acres of vines,
producing $500 Ssns of grapes, all from
only four places; and 100000 boxes
of citrus fruit grown on seven places. The
inspection was careful so far as it went,
but was necessarily far from exhaustive.
but it goes to show a marvellous rehabili-
tation of these profitable industries in the
most affected portions of the district
There are $50 carloads of oranges in the
orchards visited, and there are many
more in others not embraced in this in
spection. There is cause for rejoicing
and for hope in this recovery of these
special industries of our section in this
charming region. On all hands there
are active preparations ON foot to plant
both citrus trees and vines, with firm
confidence that both industries will
greatly flourish from this on.
