"THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1890. THANKSGIVING AND GOOD CHEER. Everybody likes the festival of Thanksgiving. It is as welcome to the sinner as the saint. It possesses sub stantial as well as spiritual itierit, and that makes it popular all round. Its New England origin kept it only in pro vincial favor for a long time; and if its observance had been confined only to its religious feature, it would in all proba bility have stayed there. But how could you bound the march of roast turkey and mince pies? What could limit the good cheer of a Thanksgiving family gathering to the section where the Pil grims landed? Nothing. When Thanks giving Day was invented it possessed within itself the germ of a wonderful ex pansion. It spread from the farm to the hamlet, from the hamlet to the village, and from the village to the city. It went west and it grew up with the coun try, and now it can boast that "no pent up Utica confines its powers," but that a whole broad continent belongs to it. Indeed, it has crossed the Atlantic and has many admirers and observers amongst the effete monarchies of Europe. But, seriously, it is a beautiful festi val. Can we conceive of a more touch ing or delightful custom than a day set apart upon which all the members of a family shall meet to offer up thanks to the Giver of all Good for the bounties He has bestowed upon them during the year, and to greet each other around the teeming family board? The pleasures of these annual meetings form the brightest and most memorable mile posts in the journey of life. It is no wonder that a custom so full of pathos and the sweetest delights that can come to us poor mortals should have burst from its original limited theater and taken possession of the whole country. Let us not forget, however, that whilst many of us have been blessed with plenty and are fortunate enough to be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with all the good things usuai to the occasion, that there are those amongst us who have been so hardly dealt with by a cruel fortune that the day has no joys for them. We should not for get these poor creatures on this day. We should at least help them from our abundance so that they may for one day feel that all the world is kin. Sweet charity should be about on this day; and wherever there is a stricken heart to cheer, a sinking soul to lift up, a child of misfortune to help, a poverty oppressed family to relieve, we should not fail to find them out and do our best to brighten the gloom that surrounds them, give the words of comfort and the substantial aid which they so sorely need. Those who do this will have a relish for their Thanksgiving dinner which no artificial appetizer could possi bly give them. The national board of managers of the several soldiers' homes of the United States pulled into Santa Monica at 3:45 p. m. yesterday. They were in charge of Governor-elect Markham, and as they entered the town ex-Governor Stoneman mounted the ingoing train. This was, to a certain degree, a reminder of the French byword, "The king is dead, live the king." Governor Markham can scarcely claim to re-enter public life with anything like the acclaim that greeted Stoneman, with his twenty-two thousand majority. Yet the latter re tired from office with no unusual clamor for his renomination. The attempt to start the governor-elect on an easy grade for the vice presidential nomination seems to ltave been handicapped by Creed Haymond's lately developed ticket of Blame and Stanford. But to return to our muttons! The gentlemen who com pose this board mnst have been some what surprised to find that they pulled up to the very edge of old ocean on the 2tith of November, with every sugges tion around them of a mid-June day. We do not know whether or no they had courage enough to plunge into the bil lows, but we do know that at midnight of the 25th inst.,a merry party disported themselves in the waves in front of the Hotel Arcadia; and we can add that the writer, as the eastern visitors puiled into the town, had just emerged from a most delightful swim in the "briny." Such facts speak volumes about climate. No intelligent man is ignorant of the great service that the railways have been to the Pacific coast, and particu larly to Southern California. But at the same time, there is a general feeling that the railways would make much more money than they do now if they would adopt popular rates to this coast. The transcontinental roads, one and all, would do a good thing if, in their invita tions to tourists, they should bear in THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 27, 1890. mind the fact that there are such places as Santa Barbara, Los Angeleß and San Diego, as well as Peneacola, Jacksonville and Mobile. There is something in this matter that is worthy of their most care ful consideration. The tide of travel that will set in westward if half the present schedule rates should be adopted would gladden the heart of the managers of every railway that has ramifications to California, and especially to Southern California. A PHENOMENAL RECORD. There is no reason that we know of that prevents a newspaper man who lives in a specially attractive region from being conscious of the fact, or from embodying that consciousness in articles in his newspaper. We propose to avail ourselves of that privilege within rea sonable limits. If we have within the boundaries of the United States a section which em bodies every attraction of the health and pleasure resorts of Southern Europe; if we have resorts which surpass those of Cannes, Nice, Mentone, and the Med iterranean coast of Africa, we see no reason why we should not say so. The public ought to be informed of such matters. And we have these resorts, and with all the accompaniments of American in stitutions environing them, and they stretch lrom Point Conception to the American line, below San Diego. As a matter of fact, Santa Monica is filling up today with easterners, who have at last realized that, on the shores of old ocean, within the limits of Los Angeles county, they have a winter pleasure and health resort incomparably better than anything to be found in Europe, or any where else in the world. The down Santa Monica trains are daily loaded with eastern visitors, who have already taken nearly every vacant house in the City by the Sea. But that is by no means the most sig nificant feature of the situation as respects Los Angeles and Southern Cali fornia. In recent issues of tbe Hbbald we gave from Riverside notes of the magical development, remunerative be yond precedent, which has characterized this section of late. We have shown that even in a comparatively recent settle ment a single acre of land, covered with orange tiees which are as yet in their first growth, has been known to yield as much as $2250. This is. of course, as tonishing to an easterner. But the fact that he is astonished does not change anything. He is simply surprised, while the surprising fact remains. Dropping the magical story of the pe cuniary account rendered of the citrus fruits, the easterner who desires to know something of Southern California can be taken to fields in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties which have been known to yield from eight to ten crops of alfalfa yearly. This means from twelve to sixteen tons per annum of a clover which is quite as rich and nutri tious as any eastern clover, where the extreme yield, with a first cutting and an aftermath, is from two and a half to three tons yearly. And so of the usual cereal crops, where irrigation is employed. They can be grown from two to three times yearly. This is the region in which spring lamb and spring veal can be supplied for the table at Christmas, flanked by spring peas, spring string beans, strawberries and every delicacy which could appeal to the midwinter palate, all grown in the open air. The supplying of the eastern market with these prized delicacies, together with early tomatoes, lettuce aud a hundred other garnitures of a well furnished table, will some day pour im perial revenues into Los Angeles county. And still the story of our capabilities, involving unlimited coin coming to Los Angeles, is not half told. Few people know the prodigious expansion which our wine and brandy and dried and canned fruits are destined to attain. With only ordinary industry, persever ance and intelligence, Los Angeles county alone will sell between five and ten million dollars' worth of those sta ples yearly. With the ability to grow about everything known to the agricul ture and horticulture of tli3 footstool; with the corn, wine and oil of the com merce of all ages; with the oil pressed from the olive and the petroleum well ing up from the rocks; with the vine, the fig, the olive, the pomegranate, and every staple known to scriptural or classical narrative, why should there not be an eager and uncontrollable move ment from the prosaic east to poetical Southern California? The impulse is quite natural. It will continue, and it will gain accelerated foice from day to day. The principal mission oi the Her ald until Los Angeles county shall contain a quarter of a million inhabitants is a propagandist one. The longer any one who haa contemplated making Southern Califor nia his home neglects it the more he will regret his dilatoriness. He will find! when he arrives, that he has been preceded by thousands who have picked up the bargains which he might have had. There are today thousands of peo ple who are loaning out their money at from (t to 10 per cent, who will realize, a year from now, to their dismay, that they might have made one hundred per cent, and upward by investing in real estate in Southern California at the bed rock prices which have prevailed for six months or more. That these figures were bedrock the tremendous developments which are un der way on every hand around us prove. There is no limit to the activity which characterizes this whole country from the foothills to the sea. It is highly sig nificantof a coming boom, andof a boom founded on production, railway exten sion, clima:e and low prices for real estate. The man who hesitates to em bark in such an attractive field will be relegated to the society of the melam clioly wrecks who now hang around Chicago, and tell how they might have become rich by buying a corner lot which they did not buy, or an outlying field which they did not consider worthy of their notice. History will simply here, as else where, repeat itself. Jay Gould signalizes his acquisition of control of the Union Pacific with a declaration that will fall upon ears of the people of this coast like an evil por tent. He says that there should be no more railroad building in the weßt for five years. He declares that there are enough roads now in operation for the business, and the policy ought to be to do with these until they are all made profitable. The idea is that roads have been built in the west in advance of de velopment and population. This being the case, Mr. Gould's policy is doubtless that which has been recently outlined, that is, to increase the rates so as to make the roads pay dividends at once. The result will be that sparse popula tions that have been prematurely fa vored with roads will have to make up in rate exactions for the previousnese of the road-builders, and they will have to pay just as much in the aggregate for the service as if they were densely pop ulous. That will be an interesting pol icy to the poor fellows who fall under its oppression. AMUSEMENTS. Miss Morris as Miss Multon at the Los Angeles. Last night Miss Morris appeared to better advantage in Miss Multon than she has on any previous evening of the engagement she Is playing this week at the Los Angeles. The play is a French version of the well-known story embodied in the novel East Lynne, which is so familiar to all readers of English, both in the novel and in the play. It is very much transformed in its French dress, but is still a terrible story of sin and crime. The advantage Miss Morris has in this play is that it does not call for the presence of a decidedly young girl on the stage, as most of tiie roles she is playing does. There is a great deal of very strong work demanded in the piece, which opens up opportunities for the star to develop her best artistic gifts. Her sorrows and her repentance, her yearn ing to embrace her children and be known as their mother, the instincts of the woman and the best emotions of motherhood are portrayed by Miss Mor ris as if it all were real. There will be no matinee at this house today, and to night Cauiille will be presented. 'I'kc Gram). A good house assembled again last night at the Grand to see the Trans- Atlantiques, who have made a favorable hit in Los Angeles. There will be a matinee this afternoon, and the nsual performance this evening at this house. Next Week. Both homes will be open next week. The laughter compelling U and I will be seen at the Graud Opera house. Gns Williams and John T. Kelly have struck a financial boom in the new play. Miss Florrie West, the clever soubrette of the company, is said to be unequaled in the character of Babette, her singing, dancing aud acting being of a high order. Professor Gentry and his large com pany of dogs and horses will appear at the new Ix>s Angeles theater one week, beginning December Ist. The San Francisco papers, including the Call and Chronicle, speak with en thusiasm of this show. SIMPLE ASSAULT. A. H. V. Sinden is Let Off Very Easy. The trial of A. H. V. Sinden for at tempting to kill Albert Rasmus was re sumed yesterday. A. B. Lawson, the noted detective, in whose employ Sin den had been, testified to his good char acter. The defendant was then placed on the Btand, and told his story. He recited his acquaintance with Mr. and Mrs. Rasmus, and that he had called on Mrs. Rasmus the night of the shooting, but seeing Rasmus was there and tiring of waiting for his departure, he left. He said: '•I turned and walked north, intend ing to take a street car down town. When between between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, a blue-line car came along and I boarded it, taking a seat on the rear platform. After riding for a short distance I noticed Rasmus occu pied the seat on the opposite side of the platform from me. I intended to go out to Pasadena, but when the car reached the corner of Spring and Sixth streets I determined to see a friend of mine. "I did not wish to pass in front of Rasmus, and not being able to get off the side I was on I passed inside the car and out on the footboard. As I passed inside the car I saw Rasmus draw his pistol. The gun flashed in the etectrie light. lam pretty quick with my gun, and 1 drew it and fired without taking any aim. I jumped from the car and walked up Sixth to Broadway." The jury being out but a short time, returned a verdict against the defendant of simple assault. Four Veers on Crutches.
