DURING the past year our leading hor-
ticulturists have shown very decided
partality to the cultivation of the olive.
and as the possibilities Of this magnifi-
cent product to add to the profits OF
tree husbandry are studied out and real
lied, the horticulturist is encouraged in
giving it a prominent place in his in
dustrial field. In the ante-Amerlcan
days all the missions and every rancher
gave great attention to the culture OF
the olive. Every mission had one or
more large olive groves in its extensive
orchards and every hacienda had
enough trees TO furnish forth
all the olives which were re-
quired for home use. The olive tree,
after the acquisition OF California, was
neglected, and the fine orchards of the
missions and the haciendas almost dis
appeared for the want OF care by the
new comers; for the olive, like the
orange, must be carefully nursed and
cultivated or it will deteriorate rapidly.
But since the Coopers and the Kimballs
have demonstrated the value OF the
olive as profitable product there has
been quite revival in its cultivation.
During the last three years the area
planted to olives in this state,
according to recent reports, has
been larger than the entire area
which up to that time had been actu-
ally devoted to this culture. Mr.. Loop
of Pomona visited Italy three or four
wears ago, and made the olive special
study. So enthusiastic was he on his
return that he planted out a great num-
Der of trees, and his example was fol-
lowed by many OF his neighbors, and
now Pomona promises to one OF the
largest olive centers in the state. 1t is
an industry that will add greatly to the
wealth OF that thriving community. 1t
is true there are adverse conditions to
olive culture, as there are to every other
kind of tree culture. The olive in
this country is attacked by scale, and
by the black fungus, as anyone may
note who has planted these trees by
way OF experiment. Yet these adverse
conditions are not greater than the sue
cessful citrus growers encounter every
year. 1t is a fair inference that this
industry is on the eve of great devel-
opment. 1t is one Of the industries
which has been held in reserve while a
few pioneers were slowly working their
way to success. Whenever in the fu-
ture an olive plantation covering ten to
twenty acres comes into bearing, there
the oil mill will be erected, and the oil
will become an article OF commerce.

THB ILLUSTRATED HERALD.

For some days past canvassers have
been out soliciting advertisements for
the ILLUSTRATED HERALD ANNUAL. This
will be the twelfth issue of this invalua-
BILE publication, which has done so much
to develop Los Angeles and Southern
California. Our agents have met a most
gratifying success, and they will remain
in the field until it is time to put the
work to press.

STATE ANALYST W. B. RISING, after
having made a number OF interesting
tests with grape pomace, reports that
each ton when properly pressed contains
sufficient cream of tartar to net between
So and $6. As the wine-makers have
heretofore thrown away the pomace,
there has been actually this extent of
lack OF economy in the method pursued
by our vignerons.

ELK1Ns RAKEs IN THE PERsIMMoN.

The vacation of the war Office by the
Hon. Redfeld Proctor, in order to &C.
cept the United States senatorship from
Vermont, made vacant by the resigna-
ton of the Hon. George f. Edmunds,
has afforded President Harrison an
opportunity of showing just what sort OF
a politician he is. After this selection
no man, not fool, need be in any
doubt as to where the administration
stands.
Until lately Mr.. Elkins was the side
partner in politics of the Hon. James
G. Blaine. Although the inheritor OF
his grandiather's hat has been repre-
sented as being Jealous OF Mr.. Blaine,
and as being restive under the un-
doubted dwarfing shadow which the
Maine man casts over his administration,
it is a somewhat notable circumstance
that the latter always has his way. He
planted Mr.. Window, for instance, In
the Garfield administration as secretary
of the treasury, and he succeeded in
engrafting him on that of Harrison in
the same capacity. 1t was case OF the
snake and the snake fly. Wherever you
saw Blaine you were sure to see Window
tagging at his heels. 1t was case OF
"Me Too, Tom Platt" over again. What
Platt was to Roscoe Conkling, Window
was to Blaine. We are now confronted
with the spectacle that the Plumed
Knights veritable alter ego, Steve Ell
kins, is a member OF Mr.. Harrison's
cabinet.
This undoubtedly furnishes food for a
moments wonder. Whatever differ
ences may be reported in the newspa-
pers as existing between Harrison and
his premier, it is pretty plain that Mr..
Blaine still pulls the strings.
But, waving that aspect OF the mat
ter, it is now apparent that we have got
the measure OF the present administra-
ton. All intelligent people know who
Mr.. Elkins is. We have not the slight
est desire to belittle that eminent poll
tician. He is probably energy personi-
fed and geniality itself. All the same,
he was the notorious head OF the famous
"Star Route" crowd. The virtues
of that combination may have
been many, and they may have
been the pink OF amiability per-
sonally, but they were not popular
with the voters Of the United States.
The latter were worked up to a white
heat of excitement over the star route
exploits. Elkins and his associates were
looked upon as the most enterprising
boodlers that ever figured in the United
States. Nobody ever accused them OF
not assessing all the transportation
would bear as to any matters that passed
through their hands.
This aspect OF the affair is in no whit
changed by the fact that Harrison prob
ably owes his nomination to Steve
Elkins. In this the latter individual
undoubtedly obeyed the instructions Of
Blaine. There is nothing new in
the leaders OF the Republican party re-
paying private debts by public station.
Grant illustrated the fashion in the
most disgusting way in the nomination
of A. 7. Stewart for secretary OF the
treasury and Adolph E. Borie for secre-
tary OF the navy. The nomination OF
Elkins for secretary of war by Harrison
brings the disgusting record down to
date.
And so we 60. The ray OF light re-
lieying the sombre boodling picture is
the undoubted coming ascendancy OF
the Democratic party.

hope at every stage in his trial. And
the worst of it is, this hope is seldom
disappointed.
Are we far wrong in saying that the

on one side and the people on the other?

Can This Be !?

The Washington correspondent OF The
Alexandra Gazette, under date of the 10Th
says
"a gentleman here today from Abing
don, Va, says the prevailing impression
on the subject there IS that DIR. Baker
recently convicted CT poisoning his wife
will be granted new trial, and that it he
shall be he will be acquitted. He says
that many ladies have signed petition
for giving him second chance tor III
life."
We earnestly hope for the sake of hu
manlty, for the protection of life and wo-
mans honor, and above all for the fan
fame and spotless honor Of that noblest,
purest, best work of God, the Virginia
wife, mother and maiden, that the above
is not true. 1t is impossible TO believe
that any number of Virginia ladies could
be induced to petition for the life of such
a monster as DIR. Baker was proved to be
when placed on his trial. What protec-
ton has human life, what homo Is secure,
what woman's honor is safe il such devil

The New Way.
Shepherdstown Register,

A new style of procedure is becoming
very popular in the trial of criminal
cases. 1t is, in brief, to so work upon
the Jury by an ostentatious display of
family affection that the men who have
sworn to render a verdict according to
the law and evidence are constrained to
decide the case as their sympathles die
tate. The danger of the thing may be
readily seen. If murderers are to 60 I'M
punished and scOundrels unwhipt of JUS
tice because soft hearted men are sorry
for the families that have been disgraced,
then our institutions are indeed in peril.
A case III point is that of Thornton
Hainss trial for the murder of Edward
flanagan last week. The law and evil
dence were strongly against the defen-
dant, but the young mans father and
mother--most excellent and exemplary
persons-attended the daily sessions of
the court, and 1t is morally certain that
the tears and sobs of the mother and
the evident emotion of the father had
much more effect upon the jury than the
most direct evidence of the prisoners
gnilt
In an Illinois courtroom recently man
who had killed a companion for money
was surrounded during the trial by his
entire family, and the more damaging the
testimony the greater were the demOnstra
tiOns of grief on The part of his relatives.
The shrieks of women proved more effec
tive than the law, and the villain got off
scot free.
A typical Bowery tough Oh trial in New
York the other day for burglary, sat in
the ball of justice with baby on each
knee and with several other children
playing about his feet, his wife display
ing violent emotion near by. The bullet
headed Tuf1ian was not used TO fondling
his children, however, AMI his attempts
at posing as loving father were so
clumsy and the device so apparent that
he soon got what he deserved.
AS before stated, this scheme is becom-
ing very popular, for it is the means Of saw
ing many rascal from the gallOws or the
penitentiary. There is apparently no
limit to the game, and a remedy tor the
evil, we confess, is hard to find. 1t seems
hard to deprive a man of the sympathy of
friends in his time of trouble, yet the
punishment of evIl-doers is an absolute
necessity If our laws are to be maintained
and society protected.
Much depends upon the faithful and
unbiased administration of justice.
