Our esteemed Los Angeles contem-
poraries are just now engaged in igur-
ing out the fine prospects Of their party
for success in the next presidential
election. The counting of "Mother
Mary's chickens" was an easy job COM
pared to any compilations that would
make out Republican majority for
any Republican. The man who
could achieve such an array
of figures would be capable OF
making out a surplus in the ma
tional treasury under Republican ad-
ministration. He could beat Henry
George in any arithmetical schemes that
would keep poverty down. and knock
out Bellamy in projects for making uni
versal bliss without supernal millen-
Jun. He could square the circle and
solve the problem of universal motion.
In fact, there is nothing he could not do.
If the car could get him to tackle the
famine proposition no Russian peasant
would dare to confess that he was hun
cry, and the dieky birds would sing joy
GUS notes on the encrusted knolls that
reach up to the belching volcanoes OF the
Cocopah country. Treat US not with
such unseeming levity, oh Republican
contemporaries

1T PAYS To FBRTILIZK ORANGE OR
CHARDS.

Ifthere iseven half truth in the reports
brought back from the Cocopah coun-
try by Colonel Allen about the exist
ence of sulphur mountains and i'm
mense nitrate deposits in that strange
region, then these discoveries will be-
come of vast Importance to Southern
California. Outside of the use that can
be made of them in the arts and manu-
factures, and in the work of powder
making, they are of incelculable value
as soil fertilizers. If the orange output
is to be kept up in our orchards, the ex-
will have to be made up by fertilizing
expe6ients. Even now the orchards
that produce the best results are fer
tiiised, and il pays well to do so. Mr..
A. B. Chapman, of San Gabriel, expert
mented heretofore on a somewhat
moderate scale in his orchards with
bore-dust and other fertilizers. Three
wears ago he set apart five acres of trees,
and gave them his personal attention.
He procured bone-dust in San Francisco
(Which, however, afterwards turned out
to be villainously adulterated), kept the
trees clean and the soil carefully culti
waited, and found, when he came to
harvest his crop, that he had re-
turns of something over five hun
dred dollars an acre from these five
acres, whilst the rest of the orchard pro-
duced results that were far below this.
Mr.. Chapman says it pays to fertilize,
and to put labor on the cultivation of
the orange. Speaking of the discover
les at Cocopah of Colonel Allen, he says
that if his reports are true, and it is a
fact that the 'nitrates and sulphur dis
covered there. can be shipped to Yuma
by water, the orange-growers will be
placed within reach of rich fertilizers at
a cost they will be able to bear. AS
proof of the value to the orange crop of
liberal fertilizing, he says that he has
spent $500 this year for the most ap-
proved composts, and that in conse-
quenee of doing so his orange crop this
year, from present appearances, will
exceed by 5000 boxes the yield of last
season, and last,season's s Weld was con-
sidered good one. Here is an object
lesson which should not be lost on
Orapge-growers.

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.
Governor Markham Grants Two Pa

Governor Markham Grants Two Par
dons and Refuses Three Others.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Nov. 17.-Governor
Markham today pardoned Lottie Fritz,
convicted of petit larceny in San Fran
cisco in September last, and sentenced
to six months imprisonment. Ingrant-
ing the pardon the governor says it ap-
peared to him that she is an honest.
virtuous woman, who has been ill-used
by her husband. Judge Wonley. DIR.
Yemans and other reputable citizens
asked for her pardon. She is about to
become mother.
The governor also pardoned Giovanni
Bianchi, alias Jack Ozzem, convicted of
burglary in San Francisco in 1886, and
sentenced to two years imprisonment.
Bianchi's term expired in 1887. He was
minor when convicted, and sincegh re-
lease has led blameless, industrious
life in Napa. The pardon was granted
now, simply to restore him his rights of
citizenship.
The application of julius Portelli.
convicted in San Francisco in 1889. OF
murder, was refused. The governor in
quired carefully into all the facts and
arrived at the conclusion that there was
no merit in the application.
The same course was taken on the ap-
plication OF M. +. Buchanan, convicted
in Monterey, in October, 1884, OF mur-
dering his father also on the applica-
tions Of w. Mcconnell of Los Angeles,
burglary, and James O'Bren of San
Francisco, robbery.
In all these cases Governor Markham
goes into the details of the trials and
the evidence. brought out, and states
that in the future he will give his rea-
sons for refusing, as well as for grant
ing pardons.

The HERALD has been particularly
considerate in discussing the San Diego
bank failure, and yet one of the papers
of that city is SO disregardful of the
truth as to insist that its treatment Of
that unfortunate event has been harsh
and unfriendly. If we should say as
we now say, that we sincerely regret
that crisis should have arisen in San
Diego's financial affairs that impelled
the banks of Los Angeles to come to its
rescue, by sending down very large
amount of coin to help it out, the Sun
would claim that we were bristling with
hostility to our neighbor.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Columbia Opera company will un-
doubtedly be greeted by large and fash
ionable audience at the Los Angeles the
ater tonight. A strong cast Of artists
will appear in the opening opera, II
Trovatore, and it is claimed that this
grand tragic opera of Verdi-that inn
mortal story of love, hate, jealousy and
revenge-wiil receive a mastery inter-
pretration by the personnel of the CO.
lumbia Opera company. Among those
who will appear on the opening night in
the leading roles are Mile. Nina Bertini,
Nine Garso-Dely, William Foran,
Sig Perotti, josef Rubo and others.
These artists have all won their laurels
in the east and in the leading theaters
of Europe, and much may be expected
from the presentment of this opera, as
the San Francisco Call, in speaking of
its production in that city, said in un-
qualified terms: "The Columbia Opera
company has given us the best produc-
ton of II Trovatore that has been heard
in this city for fifteen years. The or
chestra and chorus, under the direction
OF Musical Director Hirschbach, are
very effective, while the costumes are
said to be magnificent. On Thursday
night Mascagni's wonderful prize opera,
Cavalleria Rusticana, which has created
such furore in Europe, and which is
now the reigning success at the Casino
theater, New York, will be given, to-
gether with the miserere scene from
Trevatore. On Friday night Gounod's
masterpiece, Faust, will be given with
strong cast. At the Saturday matinee
Fotow's melodious opera Martha will
be given, and on Saturday night Caval-
leria Rusticana will be repeated. The
Columbia Opera company is new grand
opera organization, but it is made up of
artists who have achieved world wide
regulations, and there is no doubt, judg-
ing from the favorable criticism which
the company has received, that it will
prove a potent attraction TO all opera
goers in Los Angeles.
