A Sensation Caused In the National A
Sociatfon Meeting.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-02-24

IT is both amusing and most gratifying
to take note OF the spirit of enterprise
abroad and in active operation among
the people of this section. All over the
valley plots OF ground that have been
uncropped for years are being carefully
cultivated and planted to some sort OF
garden truck, or set with trees. Small
houses built during the boom, on the
outskirts Of the city, have been recently
occupied, and the few acres adjacent
are being planted and set to something.
All sorts of odd corners are being
planted with walnut, peach or
apricot trees. Old orchards that
had lain neglected for years are be-
ing put in trim for bearing. The true
sources of growth and prosperity in this
region are to be found in her fertile soil,
and in the specialties that grow here un-
der our genial skies, giving us practi-
cal monopoly of the markets of the
world. The signs of the present time
are excellent for future prosperity.

'Chcstnuts in France.

Chestnut trees are very abundant in
the southern parts of Europe, and the
fruit is one of the principal articles of
food among the poor. This is true not
only in France, but in Spain, Italy, Swift
zerland and Germany. In Italy the ker-
nels are ground, and the meal is used for
thickening soups and even for bread
The authors of "Our Home in Aveyron"
were struck with the importance of this
crop.
"Ah, mademoiselle, it is quite boon
when the chestnuts are in season" re-
marked a friend one day. So it is, for
they help very much in the composition
of fresh dishes for the table. They are,
of themselves, cooked in about fifteen
different ways, and very delicious some
of the dishes are.
More important is the fact that chest
nuts are really the principal food of the
inhabitants where the tree abounds. So
state the government statistics, but this
refers of course to the peasaptry pure
and simple, who, however. form the vast
majority of the inhabitants
In the month of October the chest
nut harvest begins. Before and after
school hours the grave children troop to
the woods to pick up the fallen fruit.
They carry empty sacks to the hilltops,
gathering the fruit and filing the sacks
as they descend.
Each sack becomes too heavy for the
children to carry, and is dragged about
by two or three until it is full. They do
not attempt to carry the sacks home, but
are met by some grown up relative, who
relieves them of their burden.
The animals get their share of the
fruit, and peasant woman will sit for
an hour or two in front of her door lei
surely cutting up chestnuts into little
bits for her small stock of poultry, which
fight and scramble for the tidbits she
throws to them.-Youth's COMPANION.

THE Express is stupid enough to ex-
cuse the shoe-string apportionment bill
because Santa Cruz and Los Angeles
were once in the same congressional dis
trict. So were San Francisco, San
Mateo and Santa Clara once a part OF
our district; but that is no reason, when
the four citrus counties have sufficient
population to entitle them to repre-
sentative, that they should now be
tagged ON to counties that have no
affinity of interest whatever with them
Party advantage does not justify the
violent dislocation OF homogeneous coun-
ties in the manner this bill provides.
The four southernmost counties are en-
titled to representative OF their own
en- rapport with their interests. and if
they fail in composing this important
object it will be because the Republican
bosses subvert reason, common-sense,
natural territorial divisions and the in
terests of the people to partisan greed.

THE late storm has been more des-
tructive than we had supposed. Anum-
ber of railroad bridges have been seri-
ously injured, and the obstruction to
travel has been considerable. The most
serious note of the storm, however,
comes from San Francisco, where an
inward-bound ship was driven on the
reef off Tennessee cove and went to
pieces. Nineteen OF her crew, including
the captain, perished in the disaster.
The nearest parallel to this is the re-
ported drowning of family in the San
Gabriel, near Duarte. The storm has
also created havoc amongst the tele-
graph wires in many directions, to the
great abridgment of our news dis
matches

MR.. MucHMoRE, superintendent of
buildings, does not deem the defects in
the city hall structure serious, notwith-
standing he says himself that the walls
have settled nearly an inch, the beams
shrunk and sagged, and the plaster
cracked in many rooms. We presume
that Mr.. Muchmore would not consider
the building seriously detective unless
it all Went to pieces. Bowed floors and
cracked walls are perhaps not much
more than might be expected from any
building erected under the careful
supervision OF public officials.

STOCKTON lawyers are accused of rush
ing to Sacramento when they have a
tangled case to get law passed to fit it.
That there is some truth in this charge
is found in the fact that a bill has
passed the legislature, and is now in the
hands of the governor, which enables
married women to administer upon es-
tates. This law, it seems, was rendered
necessary in order that very large
estate in San Joaquin county could be
placed in the hands of a married lady
who is claimant, in order, probably, to
give her an advantage in its distribu-
tion. The law, as at present, forbids
married women to administer upon the
estate of deceased persons; and the rea-
son of the law is that if they are living
happily with their husbands the latter
could really control the administration.

SOME time not long ago the HERALD
published an itemized statement of
shipments of farm and orchard products
out OF this state to the east by the
Southern Pacific railway. The figures
were something astonishing in their
volume. Looking at the millions upon
millions OF pounds, one might easily
suppose that stocks of these commodi-
ties would be depleted; but the re-
sources of the state are go great that it
is difficult to get to the bottom OF the
warehouses. The statement given to
the press by this same railroad company
for the month of January shows that
this year starts off very well for such an
off month as that one is. Such figures
as these are obtainable from the report
Beans, 2,S39, 125 pounds; canned goods,
1864, 800; dried fruit, 2,O97 $50; honey,
62,950; hops, 1890; potatoes, 1,777,-
700; raisins, 554,040; vegetables,
s11,590 wool, 1912 E; wine,
2,709, $40; green fruit, 22,900 citrus
fruit, 942,7l0. 1t is somewhat remark
able to note shipments of green fruit
other than citrus at this season, but
there are still some pears and many ex-
cellent apples left in the state. An
other item in the list is 159, ,030 pounds
of brandy. And here is the key note to
the significance of these shipments.
They are ofvery great value. The brandy
is worth not less than % cents per
pound; and all the other products of
the soil of the state are of the same en-
ceptional value. Southern California
shows up well in this exhibit of riches.
OF the brandy 10000 pounds goes to

Failure of the Reform Legislature.

The "reform" legislature now in ses-
sion at Sacramento is failure. 1t came
in with a wonderful flourish OF trum-
pets and boasted that it would reform
every evil way and walk only in the
good. 1t was to make so excellent a
record that the people would cry for Re-
publican party rule for at least the bal
ance of the century. How different the
promise from the performance Forty
five out of the sixty legislative days
have gone by, and it is now clear that a
more impotent legislature never met at
Sacramento. 1t has done absolutely
nothing except elects United States
senator. 1t got through that piece of
work creditably enough, but might as
we'll have adjourned then for anything
it has accomplished since. Many oppor-
tunities have come to it. but not one of
them has been grasped. Even its most
obvious duties have been shirked. 1t
has wrestled with apportionment and
dropped it. 1t proves too big thing
for the weaklings of this legislature to
handle and will go over to another and
perhaps Democratic legislature to deal
with. A compromise measure in regard
to the railroad taxes, that would be just
to the state and fair to the roads, is
ardently desired by both sides to the
controversy, but the veXed question is
beyond the grasp of the poor imbeciles
of this legislature, and will remain to
disturb things at the next election.
There was one, and only one, insurance
bill that had merit in it. 1t permitted
a given number of people to unite to in
sure each others losses. 1t was a mere
enabling act, rendered necessary by an
imperfection in existing legislation.
Yet the senate has just killed this
simple yet useful measure that had,
however, the misfortune to be fought by
"a sack" The anti-pool room bill, that
has the earnest support of all good citi-
zens, brought the gamblers to Sacra-
mento. They wasted no time, ascer-
tanned the price demanded, paid it, and
left with the assurance that it would be
"all right" They were not deceived.
When the time came the bill was de-
feated. No more discreditable perform
ance has been enacted by the legisla-
ture in recent years. But, perhaps,
worse still, the members are now trying
to foista new boss system on this oity,
and are only quarreling as to whether it
shall consist of one man or two. All
this in the name of reform.-[ San Fran
cisco News Letter.
