IT LOOKS very much as if there was q
case of miscarriage of justice in the Juan
Castillon matter, and through very
gauzy technicality, if the facts are as
they have been reported to the HERALD.
He was arrested and arraigned as a
"fence." An enterprising burglar
named Williams, it is alleged, has been
dealing with Castillon, who kept place
on Wilmington street, near Requena, for
the past fifteen months. On Williams's 6
confession some $500 to $1700 worth of
stolen goods were found at Castillon' g
place. 1t is said that the latter denied
having these chattels, and, notwith-
standing this denial, they were recov-
cred in his possession. When it came
to the trial Williams, who had been sem
fenced to five years in the penitentiary
for stealing the goods, and was kept
over to testify, declined to swear that
Castillon knew the articles he had
purchased from him (Williams) had
been stolen. Owing to this attitude of
Williams the jury stood nine for ac-
quittal and three for conviction. Irre-
spective of the result of the suit, it must
be very pleasant to the owners of the
goods to get them back. Castillon may
be a law-abiding citizen, and we hope
he is, but the facts in this case look very
supicious, to say the least.

This is q Democratic year, and 1t WILL
be signalized by any number OF pleasant
things. Not the least OF these will be
the New Years edition of the HERALD
This publication will contain an ex-
haustiye resume of the events OF
the past year, and will be scat
red broadcast over the United
States. No doubt our patrons will, as III
the past, extend generous support to
this issue, OF which an unusually large
number of copies will be printed. Its
letter press will be devoted to accurate
descriptions of the city and county OF
Los Angeles and their leading indus
tries, and its advertising columns will
tell of the development of business in
our midst. The merchants and busi-
ness men of the city will be interviewed
by our solicitors, and we are confident
that they will respond literally. 1t
will simply be bread cast upon the
waters, which will return before the
lapse of many days.

Wesleyan Divine Scathes Canada
New Premier.
MONTREAL, Dec. 25.-The Witness
publishes long interview with Rev
DR.. Douglas, principal of the Wesleyan
theological college here, in which that
well-known clergyman bitterly attacks
Sir John Thompson, the new Dominion
premier. The attack is made because
Thompson is Roman Catholic. Doug
las says he regrets the appo intment of a
man with such record from absolute
data covering his antecedents. He
says:
II find but little to inspire either ad-
miration or confidence in the man, and
this feeling is as widespread as the Do
minion. In political, judicial and re-
ligious circles, and among all classes of
citizens, east and west, Conservative
and Liberal, save perhaps interested
politicians, find consensus of opinion
adverse to the man, and utter distrust
of his justice, spirit and policy. of
which the country will hear more
anon"
Concluding his remarkable utter
ances Rev. Douglas says: eve can
only trust and believe he will not be in
the position long,"

THERE is momentary lull in the dis
cussion of railway connection between
Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. That
the Union Pacific will ultimately ex-
tend the Utah Central to tidewater at
San Pedro through the Los Angeles Ter
minal we do not doubt. But there is a
possibility that another line may be built
which will give us the desired connection.
The Atlantic and Pacific railway are
building road from Goff's station, on
their road, to El Dorado cafion, Utah,
where there are some valuable mines.
1t is only about 300 miles to Marysville,
in Utah, to which point the Rio Grande
Western, which is connected with the
Santa Fe by traffic arrangement, has
built. The new road would pass through
very rich mineral country. The
chances of the construction OF this line
are good. We have thus two strings to
our Salt Lake bow.

THE United States signal service
bureau reports the total rainfall for the
season thus far as S.92 inches. The last
storm gave us 2.53 inches. This assures
us already nearly as much rain as we
had during the whole of last season.
The prospects for splendid crops never
locked better in Los Angeles county
since the American occupation. I'M
mense areas have already been ploughed,
and the gangs will be kept going merrily
from this time forward. The grass has
already made great headway, and sheep
and cattle are rolling in fat. We are
confronted with all the indications of a
golden year.

LETTER BAG.
Rixera,s Walnut Crop.

EDIToRs HERALD: The following fig
ures relative to the walnut shipments
from Rivera were given me by the sec-
retary of the Walnut association. Please
publish them and then retract your
statement made editorially few morn
ings since that the "most valuable and
productive walnut land lies on the
Southern Pacific railroad between
Downey and Anaheim." Put California
Southern instead of Southern Pacific
and Rivera in place of Downey and
you will have it straight. Ri
vera ships her walnuts by train
loads; other places occasionally
send off a carload or two and make
big time over it. The Walnut associa-
tion met last Tuesday, admitted several
new members, passed resolutions OF
thanks to the Germain Fruit company,
and wound up their business by pre-
senting a handsome gold watch and
chain, with appropriate inscription, to
j. A. Montgomery, their efficient
and popular secretary. To say "Bert"
was surprised would be putting it
mildly.
The orange crop will be immense,
anywhere from 150 to 200 carloads.
Instead of la grippe, this win
ter, we have an epidemic OF
matrimony. Three of our favor
ite daughters have taken husbands
to themselves, Miss Mary Dorman, Miss
Blanche Flora and Miss Lizzie Easton
Messrs. Geo. Cate of Redondo, Ed
Reider of Indiana and w. D. Spencer OF
Rivera are the fortunrte young men.
Stringent prophylactic measures have
been adopted, but the symptoms indicate
the spread of the contagion to other
families. No fatal results 80 far.
Following are the walnut figures:

Mr.. E. J. BALDWIN is evidently a
great believer in the profits of orange
culture on the foothills. He is having a
large tract cleared in order to plant
budded fruit. The duality of the
oranges grown on the elevated lands is
specially fac. 1t is Mr.. Baldwin who
is authority for the statement that a
man can afford to pay one thousand
dollars an acre for land, plant out
three year old budded trees, and, at the
end of ten years burn up his groves, and
yet make handsome profit. He GER
tainly ought to know, and where such
lands can be bought for $3.50 au acre the
opportunities for making money are
very attractive.

DYNAMITING IN DUBLIN.

A Detective Blown to Pieces by an In
fernal Machine.
BUBLIN, Dec. 25.-An explosion oc-
Cured outside of the detective Office
last night. Detective Svnnott, who was
passing at the TINA, was killed. The
explosion caused great excitement.
Synnott was literally torn to pieces.
No arrests have yet been made but a
score of detectives are working on the
case.
The first report that the explosion was
political outrage is deprecated by the
police. Tie general opinion is that an
internal machine was placed by some
one with personal spite against the
detective force. All day from all parts
of the city people have gathered in
crowds near the place. The only person
severely injured was Detective Synnott
who was killed. Three men and q
woman 100 yards off sustained only 9
few bruises and walked home.
1t is believed in some quarters that
the motive of the crime was revenge fol
the refusal of the government to release
the imprisoned dynamiter, DAILY.

Pretty nearly every reader of the
HERALD awakens this morning after
having enjoyed generous dinner. We
hope that in all cases good diges-
tion has waited upon appetite and
health upon both. The California law
which enacts that the real Christmas
holiday shall be celebrated today is a
foolish one. 1t is hard on the average
human being to make him gorge himself
on two days in succession, and to know
that on New Years he will again be
obliged to take double dose. The
query presents Itself, "Insatiate archer,
would not one suffice?" 1t would be
very difficult for the law.giver to answer
the question satisfactorily. Still, there
are worse penalties than, after having
taken one good dinner, to be obliged to
take another. If man is put upon his

IT Is quite possible that Monsieur

the Brussels silver conference, was not
able to devote all his mental powers to
the formulation of any sort of a finan-
