An Erratic Statesman. [Los Angeles Herald.] Hon. P. D. Wigginton, who for two terms represented the Fourth Congressional District of California, of which Los Angeles was a part, in the United States House of Representatives, is credited with having made a rather eccentric departure in politics the other day. He announced that he intends at the coming gubernatorial election to be the American candidate for Governor. He has no hope of being elected, a newspaper reporter represents him as saying, but he believes that there is a bright future for such a party. Mr. Wigginton is a gentleman of great vigor of intellect and specially manly qualities, but at times he indulges in very marked political vagaries. In the campaign, years and years ago, whose outcome was the election of Newton Booth to the Senate of the United States, our accomplished friend described the Democratic party as moribund. That, if we remember aright, was in 1873. Yet it was only a few years afterwards when Wigginton carried the Democratic standard gallantly to victory. This American party, of which he speaks, is no new thing. At one time it swept over the United States, and for a very brief period it carried everything before it. There is a suggestion of Bilt Poole and the famous Baltimore, Philadelphia, Louisville and Boston riots about it. It was snuffed out with great expedition by the American people. We do not believe that the conditions for such a party exist at the present day. In the last thirty years our people have learned a great deal. They have become more cosmopolitan and liberal. Coincidentally with the disappearance of religious bigotry in a political form, all the old rancor against the foreigner The Market Basket. L. A. Express. There is no difficulty in finding choice bits of food for the market basket. The markets are well supplied with all kinds of choice fruits, vegetables and delicious meats. Prices as a general thing are reasonable. A good many Chinamen have ceased peddling vegetables. This trade now goes to the stores and markets kept by men who expect to live here, and who share the responsibility of maintaining our institutions. Beautiful cherries are now to be seen. They come from Vacaville, Solano county, and sell for thirty cents per pound. In a short time the prices will be more moderate. Strawberries are abundant at ten cents a box; or three boxes for twenty-five cents. Raspberries sell for four bits a box. Apples of the '86 crop are here and retailed at twelve and a half cents a pound; Eastern apples go at eight cents a pound. Following are additional quotations: Asparagus, four cents a bunch; peas, five cents a pound, or six pounds for a quarter; cauliflower, 5¢ a head; cabbage, ditto; loquats or Japanese plums, 3 pounds for 25¢; green pears, 25¢ a pound; bananas, 15@75¢ per dozen; pine apples, 75¢@$1 apiece; new potatoes 1@1¼¢ per pound; new onions, 3¢ each; string beans, 12½¢ per pound; green peppers, ditto; sweet potatoes, 2¢ per pound; artichokes, 15@20¢ per dozen; melon fruit, 10¢ per pound; tomatoes, 4¢ per pound; squash, 1½¢ per pound; turnips and beets, 1½¢ per pound; cranberries, 20@75¢ per gallon. The market is well supplied with many varieties of fish. No Danger. new thing. At one time it swept over the United States, and for a very brief period it carried everything before it. There is a suggestion of Bill Poole and the famous Baltimore, Philadelphia, Louisville and Boston riots about it. It was snuffed out with great expedition by the American people. We do not believe that the conditions for such a party exist at the present day. In the last thirty years our people have learned a great deal. They have become more cosmopolitan and liberal. Coincidently with the disappearance of religious bigotry in a political form, all the old rancor against the foreigner has died out, and it would, in our judgment, be impossible to vitalize a great party on any such basis. Those who were once unwise enough to signalize themselves by proscriptive utterances against foreigners, have been putting in years in winning oblivion of their old record. In the light of the past very few people will feel like committing themselves to such a programme. No American public men of any note in national politics have of late years dared to place themselves upon the platform announced by Mr. Wigginton, nor will they. Should he adhere to his intention, he will soon find himself a vice aries with Frank Pixley, and the company, although select, will not be numerous. These worthy gentlemen will find themselves very lonely in their new departure, and the fact that their attitude is grand, gloomy and peculiar will hardly console them for their practical retirement from really potential politics. A Meritorious Scheme. A. T. Hatch, the fruit grower of Suisun, has formulated the following plan which he will put in operation as soon as he is able to do so: I propose to divide my orchards into small plots; on each lot to build a cottage large enough for a family of five persons, and a barn large enough for two horses and a cow. Then I expect to seek for families that are industrious and aspire to homes of their own to fill these cottages; to work on and care for the lot of land allotted to each; allowing to each family such a share of the productions as will well recompense it for all labor. I shall furnish a general superintendent and sufficient adapts in the work, to educate them in the different labor to be done. I expect, as extra inducement to all to do the best they can with that under their keeping, to offer, each year, a premium in money to the one family that does the best; half as much to the second best success, half that much to the third, and so on down, and the one that does worst must make room for some other family, to try to do better. In all cases attendant circumstances will be considered; it being possible that the lot producing the least money, under the circumstances caused by nature, had been most properly conducted, and therefore entitled to first consideration and first premium. Such is my plan, and one which I intend to A Kanaka Fire. SAN FRANCISCO, May 8. Advices received by steamer Almonda to stay from Honolulu give an account of a disastrous conflagration which occurred thereon April 18th. The fire started in a wash-house in the Chinese quarter, where a Chinaman starting a fire in a stove carelessly set fire to the walls of the building. The fire soon got beyond the control of the inadequate fire department, and their efforts were then directed to staying its progress by blowing up buildings. It was not until eight entire squares, comprising sixty acres of the most thickly populated portion of the Chinese quarter, were burned that the fire's advance was stayed. About 8,000 people, mostly Chinese, have been left homeless. The loss is estimated at a million and a half dollars; insurance, $230,000: Only two lives were lost; a native woman and an unknown person, whose charred remains were found. The king visited the scene of the conflagration and greatly encouraged the men, often assisting with his own hands. A New State. Yesterday afternoon a job printer of this city received an order for 1,000 tickets, which read as follows: "Estado de Mar." the best they can with that under their keeping, to offer, each year, a premium in money to the one family that does the best; half as much to the second best success, half that much to the third, and so on down, and the one that does worst must make room for some other family, to try to do better. In all cases attendant circumstances will be considered; it being possible that the lot producing the least money, under the circumstances caused by nature, had been most properly conducted, and therefore entitled to first consideration and first premium. Such is my plan, and one which I intend to carry into effect at as early a data as is practicable. A Bunch of Elysium. Editorial Correspondence Prairie Farmer As before stated there are many centers or growing towns scattered all over the country between the mountains and the sea. We have not space to describe them, and could visit but few. If we are to believe the claims of their respective citizens, and of real estate agents, every one is an Elysium, and has a wonderful future both as a residence and as a profitable place to grow fruit of almost all kinds, as well as most farm crops. Many of these claims are no doubt well founded. Those who go to prospect for a future residence should take plenty of time to select; hear what each place has to say for itself and what the others will say about it. A hasty run through Anaheim to Santa Ana, with its adjacent Orange and Tustin, 32 to 35 miles southeast of Los Angeles, gave good grounds to believe in the remarkable adaptation of that region to the growing of raisins and almost all other fruits. Pomona, Azusa, San Gabriel, Anaheim, Downey City and Norwalk, are all strongly commended. But our time did not suffice to see them and personally examine their respective merits. Many ladies admire gray hair—on some other person. But few care to try its effect on their own charms. Nor need they, since Ayer's Hair Vigor prevents the hair from turning gray, and restores gray hair to its original color. It cleanses the scalp, prevents the formation of dandruff, and wonderfully stimulates the growth of the hair. A New State. Yesterday afternoon a job printer of this city received an order for 1,000 tickets, which read as follows: "Estado de Mar Vista. [Ocean View State.] The nolder is hereby entitled to vote to form the new State of "Mar Vista," in Baja California. Only a shot-gun, a saddle pony and twenty-four hours' residence is required to make a citizen of this new State. Good only when countersigned by _____, President; _____, Secretary." The charge for this ticket is twenty-five cents, which is also printed on it. Whether it will turn out to be an advertising dodge, a sell, a scheme, to dupe people or a rebellion, we leave our readers to fathom. The man who ordered the work is a rather rough-looking individual, and arrived in town yesterday from Lower California. —San Diego Union. A Fatal Blunder. THE DALLES, Or., May 8.—Mrs. Miller, daughter of O. T. Douglas, a pioneer resident of this county, and a bride of only six weeks, was fatally poisoned Thursday at the residence of Mrs. Murray near the Eight Mile postoffice. The young couple were visiting Mrs. Murray's. Thursday morning Mrs. Miller was ill, and Mrs. Murray by mistake gave her a teaspoonful of strychnine. Death ensued in half an hour. Crooked Trustees. SAN RAFAEL, May 8.—James H. Hunter and W. L. Barnard, who recently resigned as school trustees, have been arrested on a charge of bribery, and released on bail pending trial Thursday next. The complaint alleges that they agreed to accept a bonus of $450 from A. L. Bancroft & Co., for awarding them the contract for furnishing the new school house. WORTHY Of Confidence. AYER'S Sarsaparilla is a medicine that, during nearly 40 years, in all parts of the world, has proved its efficacy as the best blood alternative known to medical science. SARSAPARILLA (extracted from the root of the genuine Honduras Sarsaparilla) is its base, and its powers are enhanced by the extracts of Yellow Dock and Stillingia, the Todlides of Potassium and Iron, and other potent ingredients. your blood vitiated by derangements of the digestive and assimilatory functions? is it tainted by Scrofula? or does it contain the poison of Mercury or Contagious Disease? THE leading physicians of the United States, who know the composition of AYER'S SARSAPARILLA, say that nothing else so good for the purification of the blood is within the range of pharmacy. ONLY by the use of this remedy is it possible for a person who has corrupted blood to attain sound health and prevent transmission of the destructive taint to posterity. THOROUGHLY effective renovation of the system must include not only the removal of corruption from the blood, but its enrichment and the strengthening of the vital organs. RELIABLE witnesses, all over the world, testify that this work is better accomplished by AYER'S SARSAPARILLA than by any other remedy. BLOOD that is corrupted through disease is made pure, and blood weakened through diminution of the red corpuscles is made strong, by AYER'S SARSAPARILLA. PURIFYING the blood and building up the system require time in serious cases, but benefit will be derived from the use of AYER'S SARSAPARILLA more speedily than from anything else.
