In Defense Of Mr.. Hellman

In Defense of Mr.. Hellman
Editor Herald There are occasions
when epidemics prevail to a EIsatsr or
lesser extent, the effects of which are
more or less damaging or alarming.
Sometimes they are epidemics of disease,
metimes Of crime and sometimes of
personal abuse. Just now there is not
quits an epidemic of the latter in our
midst, but there are symptoms OF one.
To be plain. there have been q number of
anonymous newspaper attacks upon Isaias
". Hellman, president of the Farme-s'
ana Merchants bank. which have elici-
ted not only pretty general considera-
ton, but pretty general condemnation.
There are tn ose who claim that an anony-
nous newspaper communication carries
with it no force and is necessarily harm
less. Generally this is the case. but not
always. The detractors OF Mr.. Hellman
are aware that while their defamatons
of our fellow citizen are not absolutely
injurious, there is at least the sting such
as flies and other insects sometimes leave
in their blood-sucking peregrinations.
1t is for this reason that | take this
opportunity to condemn the pernicious
and mendacious statements made regard
ing the gentleman who mas been made
the subject OF such unwarrantably gross
attacks. In the first place. l DOUBT the
propriety or province Of newspaper that
will hold up an honorable man to scorn
on account of his business methods, even
were they not so cOaspicuousy public
spirited as irres ponsible or Interested
others might wish. This seems an en-
croachment on individual rights such as
no fair minded man would permit. or at
least would tolerate as proper or just. 1t
is questioned If the writer would not
writhe and madden were the circum-
stances reversed. In the next place, Mr..
Hellman was pioneer IN erecting dwell
ings and business structures away in al
vance of demands, and he has now plans
for two new cdifices which will be nut

man in the most scurrilous manner may
have o tendency to 40 man APP in
the eyes of the minimizing, the unkind
and the unwiss. 1t would seem that the
writer was in a high state of passion and
ferocity, If one may Judge by the cpl
thets ased. 1t is extremely probable that
the writer does not know Mr.. Hellman
at all. Tor surely he does not know him

captured desperate criminal who was
wanted in New Orleans tor some OF the
Malta murders and hau been traced
through Texas and other states and fnal-

Mr.. Goodman states to a curious world
that he went to Santa Barbara expecting
to get fellow who is wanted for com :

He arrested man, thinking he had the
burglar, but on the way home learned

THE NEW KING oP AGRICULTURE

Corn threatens to assume the throne as
the monarch OF agricultural products.
As far as the quantity Of this years har-
vest is concerned, no one in the land
should go without liberal supply OF hue
cake, corn dodger or hominy. But I'M
fortunately for many the magnitude OF
the crop will signify no increase in their
own supply. The factor Of distribution
determines the degree to which this arti-
Gle is generally consumed, as in all else.
But that there is to be plent~ is def mite
ly assured. The crop OF 1895 will be re-
markable among the crops OF the uhion.
Authorities other than those of the gov
eminent estimate that the product of
the field which in liquid form both cheers
and inebriates. will exceed 1000, 900, 900
bushels. The department of agriculture
estimates the production at 1850. 900, 00o
bushels. This figure is considered by
those hest informed SIS ensirely too con-
sentative, but it is the desire of the de-
partment to be safe. Accepting the rat
ter's calculation as correct the only crops
that will be in excess of that OF 1895 Will
bs those of four other years as follows;
1885, /. 1886, l76 900 bushels; 1883, 1857. 7oo.-
900 bushels; 1889. 2,ll2, 500. 900 bushels:
1891, 2,060, l54, 600 bushels. While the
product of each of these years exceeds
that of this. the average of production is
less. In each of the years noted the acre
age in corn was greater than this year,
but the yield per acre considerably less.
The acreage of this year is 81, 463. ass,
nearly 1900, 600 less acres than was de-
voted to the same product in 1891, and
several millions below the acreage for the
last five years. The com putations show
that the output of this twelvemonth
will excel the annual average for the last
half decade to the aggregate tune Of $780,
900, 600 bushels. Incidentally it might be
rem arked that it is when We deal IN corn
stalk statistics like these that the vast
ness Of our country opens up to us. Yet
there is more land almost entirely I'M
used TODAY that could be made to pay
tribute to the man that hoes the row than
the aggregate of what is now in similar
use. The country is not exactly crowded
vet. Some cities IN it may be. but not
the country as a whole. When tho i'm
mense areas susceptible Of easy reclama-
ton, the hundreds of thousands OF acres
devoted to cattle and sheep raising, and
the innumerable holdings that are Kept
out of use by spectators are computed,
it will be found that within Uncle Sam s
jurisdiction is enough of the earth to
support many times the total of his pres.
ent family if it only be properly and
equitably utilized.
One important effect of an mple corn
crop at this particular period will be in
the assistance it will render in giving us
large export trade. The virtue of corn
as food has been widely recognized by
the Europeans lately and the. preparation
of the American product in numerous in
viting forms has materially assisted in
develo ping for it abroad ready market.
