It is pleasing to know that the capabilities of Lob Angeles county for farming are being at last appreciated. Go where one will, on every hand one encounters crops already harvested or pregnant with promise of plentiful gleanings.

We have always wondered that, with the ability to grow a crop of corn and a crop of potatoes in a single year, or two crops of potatoes and one crop of beans, the rich lands of Los Angeles county were not snapped up more eagerly than they are, even from an agricultural point, of view. The industrious man could very well afford to throw fruit growing to one side when such magnificent results awaited him in the prosaic truck gardening and farming line. As an example of what we mean, we may state that Mr. E. J.

Baldwin, during the cuirent year, leased forty acres of his rich San Gabriel valley lands to a farmer on the shares, stipulating that he should receive one-third of the crop, which latter, we will state for the instruction of the public, amounted to sixteen thousand sacks, or four hundred sacks to the acre. Potatoes have been selling lately at from sixty to sixty-five cents a hundred, delivered on the cars, so that the profits can be well imagined. It is quite possible that too many people rushed into the business of raising potatoes this year, but it by no means follows that this is the case. The year is yet young. Last year, when the potato crop was small in in the east, the business was turned over to Chinamen; or, rather, the Caucasian was not shrewd enough to see the profits involved in growing and marketing "eDuds." We are informed, on what we regard as reliable information, that one Mongolian cleared $10,000 off of these tubers alone last year.

The profits in growing corn are also not to be sneezed at. Some time ago we were informed by Mr. nruh, Mr. E. J.

Baldwin's agent, that that gentleman leased lands on the San Francisquito rancho, which were to be put in corn, for one-third of the crop, and that his third share amounted to fifty bushels to the acre. Mr. Baldwin's standing oiler was to lease these prolific acres to any industrious man with a team, the lessor furnishing feed and seed, and taking his chances for being reimbursed these two last out of the crop. Surely here is an easy way for any man who is supplied with elbow grease to make himself independent. We do not mention these facts in order to boom "Lucky" Baldwin.

That gentleman does not seem to need any pecuniary ''boosting" just now, with his tens of thousands of acres of the best lands in Los Angeles, his Baldwin hotel and theater in San Francisco, his hotel Richelieu in Chicago, his splendid stables of crack horses, and other unconsidered trifles, that push him away up in the line of plutocrats. We call attention to them simply because we think that intending settlers ought to know the facts, and we believe, besides, that our other large landed proprietors ought to be stimulated into imitating his example which, in this particular at least, is a very good one. What we need around Los Angeles just now is ten thousand good, solid farmers and truck gardeners, who have the best opportunity on the of acquiring easy competencies. If we can only impel Senator John P. Jones, Colonel R.

S. Baker, and a half a dozen other possessors of broad acres to go and do likewise, we shall have accomplished half of our mission. The other half is to seek to attract to Los Angeles county farmers whose intelligence and thrift can nowhere else be so liberally rewarded as here. In the boom of production, which has now set in in Los Angeles, we need these people, and the sooner they come the better for them and for us. The renomination of Governor Boies by the Democratic convention of lowa will give the party the initial strength which always inaugurates a successful campaign.

For the first time in a generation Horace Boies led the Democracy to victory in a state that had been in the habit of piling up enormous Republican majorities. The man wfio could lead the party to such a victory was very naturally chosen by acclamation to make the race to Eucceed himself. The Republicans will strain every nerve to recover the state; but that party is badly split on the prohibition question, has the unpopular side on the tariff subject, and will lose in the Farmers' Alliance two votes to one that will be taken from the Democracy. In the last election the 6tate went Democratic by over 9000 majority THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, 28, 1891. in the votes for congressmen.

To carry a state by any majority, however email, that ussd to be relied upon by the Republicans for from 30,000 to 80,000 majority, was a triumph which showed that a great political revolution had swept over it. If Boies again succeeds, the redemption of lowa from Republican rule may be set down as permanent. A SOUTHERN CIRCUIT ESTABLISHED. All kinds of progress and prosperity seem to be advancing with an equal pace in Southern California. We are at last realizing the great part that agricultural associations will play in our development, and particularly in the evolution of the horse.

From the advances that noble animal has shown in this city, under such intelligent and energetic fosterers as the Messrs. L.J. Rose, L. H. Titus, J.

Baldwin, and others, it will not be long before this county will be recognized as the breeding place excellence of both the trotting and thoroughbred horse. In saying this we do not aim to underestimate the ability of our sister southern counties to figure in the ambitious and good humored contests. We simply think that Los Angeles has already a start which, all things being equal, will give her the primacy in the effort to make Southern California in the future what the Blue Grass region of Kentucky has been in the past. Yesterday there was a meeting in this city of representatives from the eight agricultural districts of Southern California, in order to form a circuit which would not clash locally or with the programmes arranged up north. Three years ago there were only three districts in this section.

The growth to eight in such a short time shows the energy with which our people have thrown themselves into the good work. In the appropriations an undue prominence is given to Sacramento, a town which has really become a back number, and which should be subordinated to her real importance in modern California. The districts represented here were Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria, Ventura, Orange, San Diego, San Bernardino and Los Angeles. The southern circuit will open at Santa Barbara on August 18th, and will run at that place till the 21st, both dates inclusive. It will open at Los Angeles October 10th, and will run to the 23d, both dates inclusive, closing both for Los Angeles and the circuit on the 23d of that month.

Full details will be found in our local columns. To those who know the habits of the weather clerk, these dates look very ominous of rain, es- pecially for the Angelic county. There is no reason, that any one can discover hereabouts, why Sacramento and the northern circuits should have, as a matter of course, the preference in dates. An earnest effort ought to be made next year to reverse the programnle and allow Sacramento to receive some of the favors of Jupiter Pluvius. The jug-handled business will soon become wearisome.

Los Angeles is one of the most orderly and exemplary cities in the United States. It has become conspicuous for its schools, its churches, and the moral tone of its society. There is no eastern city, where generations of staid and godly habits have given a reputation of sobriety and morality to its citizens, that can suipass Los Angeles in all the qualities that go to make up a respectable, orderly and law-abiding community. It is but a few years since we were considered, and were in fact, a frontier Mexican town, with all the vices and lawlessness peculiar ta such towns. But now we have become a city where the religious element dominates, where a school system that is unsurpassed in efficiency is firmly established, where the higher education has its colleges and universities, and where the home life is as representative of the best American element as can be found in any part of the union.

It is true we are not without our share of the vicious and the lawless element, but the decent side of our urban picture is the one that gives tone and character to a city that need not shrink from comparison with any city of its class in the union. Tiik case of Colonel Forsythe is still in suspension. As the third California nominee for chief of the department of horticulture of the world's fair, he will be in luck if he also is not knocked out by the filth-throwers of our own state. Eastern people will gather a very queer idea of Californians from the tactics that have been resorted to to down every man that has been named for this position. The first gentleman presented was killed off because he dressed too loudly; the second was laid out because he was charged with having been counsel in a celebrated state trial in war times, and now the third has been charged with keeping a fashionable hotel at the Geysers and not requiring a certificate of character from every guest.

We have washed so much dirty linen in the face of the country in this affair, that we shall be surprised if any Californian gets the position. The other states must look upon us as a sad lot, from our own showing. The great Elsinore irrigation scheme jis one that will rank with the most imi portant and extensive water projects in the southern country. The lake from which the water will be taken is situated at an elevation that will give its canals and ditches a fall in nearly every direction. It will reach with its waterways a vast area of land, the greater part of which will be susceptible of the lngh- i est cultivation and of growing the richest and most valuable products.

We are just entering upon an era of the most wonderful development in this section, and the great number of irrigating schemes now projected will give an imj petus to production that must soon bring I about a degree of prosperity in Southern California that will astonish the rest of the country. In marrying Mrs. O'Shea, Parnell has done all that lay in his power to redeem his fault. But the injury that has been done by his offense to the great cause which he so conspicuously represented, is beyond his power to repair. An interview with him immediately after his marriage indicated that he was nowsanguine that he would be restored to his old position as leader of the Irish party but the antagonisms that have grown out of the great scandal will render this impossible.

The Fourth of July literary committee are wrestling with fifteen poems that have been sent in to compete for the honor of singing the praises of our national anniversary. The committee will have the prayers and sympathies of all good patriotic people. A PLEASANT AFFAIR. The Kindergarten Training Class Given a Reception. The Southern California kindergarten training class was given a reception on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 24th, at the home of the principal of the kindergarten department of the city, Mrs.

Nora D. Mayhew, their training teacher. The time was spent in examining books which contain all the work done by the class during the year. After looking at the books and refreshments were over, Mrs. Mayhew called the class together for the presentation of the first certificates of the Southern California Training school.

The following are the names of the members of the class receiving certificates Misses Annie Junkins, Janette Havemann, Luna Murphy, Laura Bacon, Mary Lockwood, Nellie Clark and Julia Bruere, Mrs. Frances Mackey. At the close of the distribution of the certificates, Miss Havemann. a member of the class, arose and with a few well chosen words, presented Mrs. Mayhew with a pearl handled pen, a token from the class warm regard and esteem in which she has been held.

Those who were present, to witness the ot certificates were, Miss Anna Lynch, Miss Alice Blackington, Miss Eintna J. Davison, Miss Ella E. Clark, Miss Alice F. de Hart, May A. E.

Richardson, Miss Marietta Hodgman, Miss Mary L. Swizer, Miss Augusta Flentjen, Miss Clara Bruere and Miss Olga Dorn. Having enjoyed a very happy afternoon the class dispersed, feeling that though the year has been full of work and study, yet it has been one long to be remembtred by the class as a year pleasantly and profitably spent. A SHAKESPEARIAN EVENING. The Next Lecture of the Immanuel Church Series.

The next of the series of lectures for the benefit of Immanuel church will be given in that edifice on next Wednesday evening. The subject is an interesting one and full of possibilities, An Evening with Shakespeare and His Contemporaries. Colonel J. J. Ayers, the lecturer, is an intimate of the great dramatist, having loved him and studied him for many years.

He should handle his text con amore, and will be sure to delight the audience with a witty, brilliant and erudite paper. Under all the circumstances, the writer may be permitted to state that this statement of fact is written and published unknown to the colonel. The attraction offered in the literary part of the evening will be supplemented by a programme of music, which will be participated in by such popular artists as Mrs. J. S.

Owens, Prof. Arevalo and Miss Priest. The affair is one that presents nothing but attractive features, and deserves the most liberal patronage. Falling In Line. The government recommendation that laws should be passed requiring baking powders to be sold with a label giving their true composition is being acted upon with unusual promptness.

Bills have been introduced in the legislatures of Illinois and New York, requiring baking powders containing ammonia or alum to be so labeled. But why stop here? Why not require every package of baking powder to haye on it all the ingredients used? Common sense if not common law says that the people have a right to know what food compounds are made of. The bills, however, are right as far as they go, and should be passed, for alum and ammonia are not proper ingredients of a pure and wholesome baking powder, and are used simply to cheapen the cost and increase the profits to the manufacturer. The use of these ingredients is not confined to these socalled "cheap powders," and it will startle many to know that the bill as introduced in the New York legislature calls particular attention to the fact that the Royal Baking Powder, though advertised as absolutely pure, is shown by official examinations to contain ammonia. It has heretofore a general impression that the passage of such a law would not affect the leading brands of baking powder, but after careful examination we are able to find only one baking powder the composition of which is printed on the label, and this is Cleveland's Superior baking powder.

The accuracy of the statement on the label is such men as Prof. Coney, of Tufts college, Dr. Mott, late government chemist, as well as present Government Chemist Underwood, who, after an examination of the leading brands offered to the Indean department of the government, said: "Cleveland's is the best in quality, highest in leavening power, and perfectly wholesome." It is the hoast of Dr. Gallinger, the new senator from New Hampshire, that he has set type in nearly wery newspaper office north of Mason and Dixon's line and between Maine and the Mississippi. His political career began in 1884, when he was elected to congress.

The total output of coal in the United Kingdom last year reached, according to the official statistics just published, tons, against 170.916,724 tons in 1889. The increase was thus 4,697,564 tons, or nearly 27 per cent. Attention has recently been called to the singular fact that until half a century ago the inhabitants of the Philippine islands were a day behind those of boring countries in their reckoning.

H. Williams, 119 Grand avenue, to welcome the Misses Helen and Muttie Widney on their return from a year's sojourn in Boston. This eociety has fully regained its old-time prosperity and reputation for good fellowship and healthy enjoyment. The programme was instructive as well as entertaining. This society is not merely for the purpose of amusement, but its object is to furnish a class of entertainments that will be a source of instruction to the young people of the church and congregation, and they expect soon to furnish their paTlors in the Simpson Tabernacle in it style worthy of these beautiful rooms.

S. Whitaker, 127 East Thirtieth street, a most successful cobweb party was given in honor of the eighteenth birthday of Miss Mary Whitaker. The evening was spent with popular games of the season, after which a fine luncheon was spread. Dancing and singing were the main features until after midnight, when the happy participants returned home after wishing Miss Mary many happy returns of the day. Those present were: Mr.

D. S. Whitaker, Bessie Dot Kinsey, Mrs. Kutch, Margaret Barbers, Mrs. Kinsey, Carrie Haigler, Miss Hogle of Santa Ana, Misses Ollie Kutch, Maggie Kutch, Georgie Whitaker, Mary Whitaker, Lillie Magee, Mabel Tanner, Rose Roth, Mable Scofstad, Ada Scofstad, Ana Morton, Messrs.

Tanner, Will Bowers. On Wednesday last a bevy of young people gathered at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. George W. Campbell, corner of Michigan avenue and Bailey street, Boyle Heights, to do honor to Master Charlie Campbell, it being his sixth birthday.

Various games were indulged in, besides a dainty lunch was served beneath the trees on the lawn. Among the little ones present were: Fielding Chapman, James Chapman, Frank Kutz, Alice Kutz, Jessie Kutz, Bessie Lytic, Mary Lytle, Morris Parkhurst, Roy Charlton, Evart Charlton, Percy Powers and Lyla Campbell. The little tots enjoyed themselves hugely, and expressed their wish that Charlie might have many returns of this day. Misses Blanchard's and Blakeley's classes met together Thursday afternoon at the Union school and enjoyed an hour listening to several little clever people. The violin solo by Ethel Stewart, accompanied by Dan McFarland on his Otto harp, pleased the little ones.

Miss Edgerton recited two pieces very cleverly. A feature of the afternoon's festivities was the recitation of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, by Jessie Stornbs, a twoyear-old tot. Quite a number of visitors attended the exercises. The management, with regret, are compelled to announce that the cantata of Belshazzar will not be given on the evening of July Ist, 1891, for the reason that quite a number of those who were to take part therein, have left the city and will not return in time. However, in the near future, and under the management of Mr.

Dixon, manager of the Bostoniane, the cantata will be given with Mr. and Mrs. Modini Wood in the leading parts. The concert at the Central Baptist church on Friday night was one of the most enjoyable musical treats of the season. The solos by Mrs.

Brown were highly appreciated and received with hearty applause, as were also the duets by Miss Quincy and Mrs. on the mandolin and guitar. Little Isabel Moore captured the audience by her recitations. The Polymelia quartette of female voices was of great power and sweetness. This combination is of rare occurrence, and many were the expressions of praise accorded each voice.

It would be impossible to institute comparison where all was so excellent. Lovers of art will have a rare treat this week in the exhibition of paintings by William J. McCloskey and A. Binford McCloskey at the art emporium of Kugeman Litchtenberger. The display will comprise both oil and water colors.

Mr. and Mrs. McCloskey are spending a few months with Mrs. McCloskey's mother, Mrs. Binford, prior to their removal to Paris to reside and have placed the pictures at the gallery that their friends and thoee interested in art may view them before shipping to the exhibition of the royal academy in London.

Ethel is a wonderfully talented elocutionist and musician and has a bright future before her. She was received enthusiastically in both Ontario and Pomona. Those who assisted at both entertainments were: Miss Sadie McCaldin, Miss Hattie Jennette Elliott, Miss L. Beatrice Overton.

Mrs. Jessie Passamore and Mrs. Bell. A reception was tendered the graduates of the Ludlam school Thursday evening at the school. A delightful evening was passed, as there were many talented young ladies and gentlemen present.

Those present were: Miss Lemmert, Miss Junkin, Miss Lewis, Miss Dickinson, of National City, Miss Gardiner. Miss Finney, Miss Cochran, J. Fred Blake, D. L. Burks, H.

D. Cashman, J. DuPuy and J. Cochran. The musical and dramatic entertainment given at Hendrick's hall, Boyle Heights, last Friday evening was well attended.

The musical part of the programme was very enjoyable. The vocal solo by Mrs. Hendricks, as also the piano solo by Misses Phillips and Rees, deserved special mention. The farce Hash was also well presented and proved very laughable. The Argonaut says that Miss Jennie Blair and Mrs.

McCollum have returned from a delightful visit to Southern California. The closing reception at the Marlborough school on Friday evening was a very pleasant and largely attended affair. Mr. and Mrs. William Dennison Stephens will be at home to their friends at No.

John McCallum leaves today for the Coronado hotel for the benefit of his health.

J. Leo Park, of Pomona was in Los Angeles yesterday. Miss Rose gave a dinner party last evening. LETTER BAG. The Crusade Against Mrs.

Watson. Editors Herald lam surprised and pained to see a communication in reference to Mrs. Watson in your issue which has the accommodation endorsement of many noble women, whose kindness of heart probably caused them to agree with the party asking their signatures before their better judgment passed upon the correctness of the act. I was informed by ons of the leading lawyers of this city that the churches of this day, as well as the dear ladies, who in board meeting duly assembled, dispense charity to "all cases coming under ita rules," would crucify Jesus Christ, were he to appear now, because of going about doing good without rule and without measure, and not in accordance with their preconceived ideas. The only cause 3 of complaint brought to my notice by these lady managers of the orphans' home, to whom I have contributed perhaps as liberally as any man in town, are that Mrs.

atson has several times left children under 1 year of age at the orphans' home, while their "rules," they say, do not require them to accept any child less than 1 year old. A second cause of complaint is that she does not divulge a history of the sin by which the little waif has been ushered into life: that the rules of the orphan'asylum require a full history of the parentage of the child before it can gain admittance. A third accusation is that by concealing the misfortunes the young women and shielding their disgrace she thereby renders sin easy, and thus encourages others to fall. My God, what an indictment for Christian women to make. Christ, in their opinion, erred in forgiving the woman who had sinned.

Mrs. Watson has in a remarkable degree the tenacity of a bulldog, united with the gentleness of a dove. She has for years devoted her life to alleviating affliction, and she no more deserves, in my opinion, the slur endeavored to be cast upon her, than Christ, our Savior, deserved to be crucified. Her labors are known to the superior judges, to the supervisors, and to many of the leading citizens. Her work is unique, and beyond the imagination of the formalists who condemn her.

I bow my head in shame, for I know a great deal of her work, when I think how much more than 1 she can do, and is doing for suffering humanity. Yours truly, M. Li Wicks. Mr. Gilstead's Statement.

Editors Herald: Allow me to reply to some statements made in yesterday's Herald by your San Pedro correspondent referring to me in connection with the so-called Drothzen episode. Your correspondent asserts that the thrashing which Mr. Drothzen received wus undoubtedly administered without any justification, and further states that I was promptly fined by Judge Sweet and paid my fine, and concludes by stating that I will probably think twice before I try to improve another human form divine. As to whether I was justified in thrashing Mr. Drothzen or not, I am perfectly willing to leave to the decision of any reputable citizen who knows all the facts in the case.

That I was "promptly" fined by Judge Sweet is accounted for by the fact that I "promptly" plead guilty, to avoid the annoyance and loss of time incident to a trial in the justice's court, notwithstanding my firm belief then, as now, that any fair-minded judge or jury would have acquitted me on the ground of ample justification, if acquainted with the facts in the case. lam as ready now as I ever was to resent an insult or a slander, whether it emanates from Mr. or any one else.

Several Valuable Dori Poisoned in the Past Few It would have been exceedingly hot for the gentleman who has been cultivating a dog poisoning propensity lately, had he happened at the store of Tufts- Lyon last night when the news of the poisoning of Ed. Tufts' setter puppy Dike T.

was communicated to Harry Payne, John Schumacher, Ed. Benchly and others, as they casually dropped in. The mutterings were loud and deep and each thought of his beloved dogs and their manifest peril. The officers of the Kennel club took immediate action and offered a reward of $250 for the detection of the poisoner. Dan McFarland, Fred Lyons rand others have recently lost valuable dogs by poisoning.

She's a little ray of sunshine, Such a winning little elf; Rubbling o'er like spai kllng wine, Full of mischief will twist her papa's mustache, Poke her finger in his eye: Naught on earth for her too rash, We suspect she'll try to fly.

Pussy cat must hunt its corner, Little Fido jump and run; Not a bit of use to warn her Of the danger she doth run.

Life would be a dreary blank- Yet, when she smashed thegrand piano, We were much inclined to spank. RED RICK'S. rry Ts, Ts. Th, RED RICE'S.

IT has been the custom, from time immemorial, i.e., from the time when the memory of man runneth not to contrary, to make a large profit on Teas. Any dealer will tell you, if he speaks honestly, that there is a good round profit in Teas. It struck Red Rice's folks that it would prove a big advertisement for other goods, to import Teas and retail them at wholesale prices, thus revolutionizing the Tea trade as far as this part of the world is concerned. To decide is to act, with us. We got the Teas put up expressly for Red Rice, Los Angeles.

These Teas are warranted by us to be as good Teas as ever crossed the seas. They are fresh, new crop Teas. Oolong, Young Hyson, English Breakfast, Gunpowder, Japan teas; all the popular teas. Expensive teas, cheap teas, standard teas. Every kind of teas for the first time in the world's history retailing at wholesale cost; bought as cheap as any importing house in America can buy; sold cheaper than any other house in America will sell delicious teas.

It is not often that you are offered such good teas new from the trees at any price. It's like going to China and Japan and bringing a lot of fresh picked, choice teas home with you.
