THE HERALD AT THE BEACH.
A MOVEMENT TO CIRCULATE "0UR
ITALY"

California at several stages OF her ad-
vance has been helped very materially
by a number of brilliant writers. Thus,
shortly after the completion OF the Cen
trail and Union Pacific railways, Grace
Greenwood, Mrs. Calhoun and Charles
Nordhoff lent the aid of their graceful
and powerful pens to swelling the tide
of desirable immigration to this state,
and in this general movement Southern
California shared quite appreciably.
These personages were highly instru-
mental in bringing about in the east
new interest in the Golden State. The
work begun by them has been more than
equaled, especially as respects the
southern portion OF California, by
Mr.. Charles Dudley Warner. His
articles devoted to this section,
which first appeared in Harpers'
Monthly, and which have been charac-
terized by the high literary ability OF
Mr.. Warner, have been collected by that
gentleman in book form, with copious
emendations and additions, and they
have for some time past been on sale all
over the United States, under the title
of Our Italy. 1t is charming produc-
ton, and there could not possibly be
more attractive way of advertising the
claims of Southern California on the
educated people of the east than is
embodied in this book. 1t will, of
course, have an infinitely greater effect
than could be hoped for from any formal
advertising medium. 1t would do us
immense good for the reason that it is
absolutely free from any tincture OF the
paid puff order, and embodies simply
the impressions of Los Angeles and ad-
joining counties held by cultured and
travelled man on a calm personal inspec-
ton OF our resources, climate and gen
eral ensemble. We understand that a
movement is on foot with a view to ne
gotiating with the Messrs. Harper for
cheap edition of this work, of 10000 or
$4,000 copies, to be forwarded to Los
Angeles and judiciously distributed
from this city in the east. This edi-
ton would be specially prepared,
and furnished at considerable dis
count. Here is capital opportunity
for our people to show that they under
stand the great good which this en-
lightened writer has been to their sec
ton. Our leading capitalists will, we
hope, realize the splendid results of
such programme, and subscribe liber-
ally. There would be no vulgar adver-
tising features about such a plan. The
books, costing probably thirty-five or
forty cents copy, would be distributed
very carefully in the east, and would re-
suit undoubtedly in a valuable and in
telligent immigration to the southern
counties. The HERALD bids the enter
prise Godspeed.

THERE is no question of the fact that
already very marked revival has
started in in Los Angeles and vicinity.
For three years the best lands in the
United States have been disprized, SIM
ply because at one time they were rated
too highly from the standpoint of pro-
duction. But the prodigality and re-
munerative character of the output OF
this section has been demonstrated
since the bursting OF the "5oom." There
is really no section on the footstool
where so much money can be garnered
to the acre as in Los Angeles county and
portions OF San Bernardino county.
1t has sometimes been a matter of
mirth that, in summarizing the
attractions of this section, clim-
ate has been thrown in as an ele-
ment in the count. And yet the climate
OF Los Angeles, added to the other at
fractions OF this nonpareil region, counts
like minted dollars. Why should it not
Here we have a section in which there
is not wrinkle on the face of nature.
We are not only not subject to the cy-
clones, cloud-bursts and tornadoes of the
rest of the country, but we are even
free from the capricious ranges OF the
mercury. The farmer who cares to de-
velop the resources of irrigation which
lie ready to his hand can raise two
crops of potatoes and one of beans on
lands that are so rich that they require
no manure. The dairyman can rely
upon from six to eight crops of alfalfa,
very nutritious clover, yearly, and
each crop will be up to the average OF an
ordinary clover yield in the east. When
it comes to the citrus fruits, the possi-
bilities of profits, under favorable con-
ditions of soil and exposure, run up to
sums that we do not care to mention,
because the figures are 80 high as to ex-
cite incredulity. People who exhibit a
marked interest in such a unique and un-
exampled country simply show high
degree OF sagacitv. We are pleased to
notice that this universal activity is not
confined to Los Angeles county. In San
DerHdIuiHo Couhoy, Jul iihhiCuioIC
neighbor, the movement is even more
lively. Wherever we turn, schemes OF
development, all on plans carefully cal
culated for success, are being matured.
Railways are being built, reservoirs are
being constructed, the desert even is be-
ing made to blossom as the rose, and we
are but in the initial of development
which will far surpass anything that has
been chronicled in the past. All the in
dications point to achievements in the
next decade that will dwarf anything
heretofore noted on this or any other
continent,

thing like the vision of death, and
week without change in the line of
falling mercury would mean death out
right. Think OF it, men and brethren,
and sisters also, of a Sonoma county in
which it is said that at 6 O'Clock in the
afternoon the mercury still stood at 100
degrees in the shade, and Sonoma is on

The Pension Eurplus.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The commits
sioner of pensions has received a number
of dispatches from pension agents, CIV
ing the unexpended balance OF pension
funds in their hands at the close of
business June 30th.- All have not yet
reported, but indications are that
the balance will be about 5,0OO,O ,OO0
This added to the amount in the treas

Under the law the balance unexpended
is turned into the treasury, which will
be done today, and will increase the
treasury balance by about $4,000, 900.

that watt over her from the ocean. They
are disagreeable, but without them, with

Bright as the sparkling dew,
With the light of intelligence dawning
In eyes of most heavenly blue.

A roguish twinkle of laughing eyes,
Just tiny dot of infantile grace,
Like fairy from sunny skies.

Half covered her DER with sand,
And imagined her childish murmur
To be voices from angel land.

What sad tales the sigh can unfold
And wanted the darling with me to fly,
Tho she is but twelve months old.

A STATES DISGRACE

That Sane Persons May BE Incarcerated
In Asylums In Minnesota.
ST.. PAUL, May 30.-Governor Mer-
riam has received report from the
special committee appointed to examine
the case of Mrs. Sophronia Northrup, OF
any other alleged committals without
due process of law, to the first hospital
for insane at st. Peter. 1t will be re-
membered that Mrs. Northrup was
committed Sept. 8, 1890, after an in.
formal but unofficial examination by
Judge Schaler of Carver and two local
physicians, who pronounced her not in
sane. She was taken to the hospital
Che same day by her son, DR.. S. J.
Northrup, who on Sept. 80 procured pa
pers Of commitment from Judge Schaler,
The report made by the committee
roasts DIR. s. j. Northrup severely, and
also finds Judge Schaler and DR.. North
rup guilty of irregular conduct. The
report is especially severe on the pres.
ent system Of committing insane peopl 4
in the hospitals.

MINNEAPoLIs, May 30.-The Jour-
nails Washington correspondent sends
the following Blaine gossip to his pa
per: Secretary Blaine, It's said, has a
good opportunity to step down and out
of the Harrison cabinet for good. Ru-
mors have been rife for the past twenty
four hours that Blaine's resignation was
momentarily expected. 1t is claimed
that his continued absence from Wash
ington is embarrassing the administra-
tion. Ordinarily the absence of the Sec
retary of state from Washington in the
middle of the long congressional recess
would make no difference to the con-
duct of government affairs. AT the
present time, however, about all the i'm
portant pending measures are related to
the state department.
Delayed ON Biaine's Account.
Aside from the Italian affair, the Beh-
ring sea controversy, and the manner in
which the government has become in
volved in the Chilian revolution, there
are several reciprocity treaties awaiting
executive action. Government officials
are exceedingly anxious to take the
necessary steps toward putting
into force the treaty recently
negotiated with Spain, and it
has been considered essential
that Secretary Blaine should be present
to consult with the chief magistrate be-
fore this step is taken. Then, too,
there is a mass of correspondence con-
ccrning the movements which have
been made to secure the removal of ex-
listing European embargo against Amer
lean meat products, which requires the
attention of the responsible head of the
state department. There are
A Score Of Important Subjects
in fact, pending in that department,
and unless there is some definite asgur-
ance that the secretary win return be
fore long, the embarrassment OF the I'D.
ministration will grow. All this gives
color TO the rumor that Blaine contem.
plates leaving the cabinet at an early
day. It is also limited in some quarters
that the relations between Harrison and
Elaine are really strained on political
grounds, and that Blaine has never had
any intention of resuming his position
in the cabinet.

Sullivan and jackson Wanted to Fight,
But Friends Prevented.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 30.-Champion
pugilist and actor, John L. Sullivan and
Peter jackson narrowly escaped having
genuine fight with bare knuckles
Wednesday night in Peters saloon.
Since Sullivan came to town he has
taken no pains to conceal his dislike for
the negro, and Wednesday night he was
demonstrating how Corbett could have
knocked jackson ont, as he said Peter
was no fighter. Jackson was in back
room, and when he heard Sullivan
abusing him he came out, went directly
mp to the big fellow and, pretending not
to know him, tapped him on the shoul-
der, saying: Look here, young man,
you don't know what you are talking
about; you are talking through your
hat /"
Sullivan GIared at jackson
and roared: Who are you talking toi
don't stand such language from your
kind of people. I"
well, I'm talking to you, and re.
peat that you are talking through your
nat, was JacKSons determined reply
A fight looked imminent, and Sullivan's
friends stepped between the two mer
and tried to separate them. jackson
however, would, would not have it, and
throwing the peacemakers aside, Jack
son again remarked: sYou are talking
through your hat" Sullivan began
Taking or His Coat.
jackson, quick as fash, opened his vesI
and was on the point of pulling off botf
coat and vest, when friends agar
crowded about Sullivan and induced
him to leave the saloon, and he did no
do it InwilGngly either, as jackson il
his present trim would have been pretty
apt to whip him. jackson is very sor,
over Sullivan's contemptuous references
to him rs no fighter, and they may yet
have o scrap.
