The Municipal Election.

1t is high time that the citizens Of
Los Angeles were looking around for
suitable men to fill the vacancies
which will occur in the city govern
ment. The election will take place
early in December, and canvass
should Immediately be made, not to
see who wish to be candidates for
Councilmen, and the various other
offices, but to find what good men,
able men, energetic men, public-spir-
tied men, will accept. These offices,
although little salary Is attached to
them, are very important. The life of
the city depends upon their being we'll
filled. They should be filled by broad
men, generous men, who will not
place their own personal interests be-
fore the interests of the entire city.
The city government needs new life,
and it is depending upon the coming
election to fill this want.
Improvements are demanded in all
sections. Streets need renOvating. The
new demands arising from the new
character as railroad and commercial
centre, must be provided for. In ten
years Los Angeles must treble In pop
ulation and in wealth, and men must
be nominated and elected who will
take in this situation, and act accord
ingly.
Los Angeles street should be con-
tinued by the cutting out of the Chi
nese tenements back of the Pico House
and the Bella Union. The right of
way can be bought cheaper now than
at any time hereafter. In other places
the streets should be Strengthened,
trees should be planted, and energy
infused into the sleepy inhabitants of
every Sleepy Hollow.

Winter In the East.

The telegraph brings fresh news of
commercial failures every day. First
from one State, then from another
comes an unexpected crash. Mills are
stopped and manufactures suspended,
banks fail and merchants close up.
The main portion of the distress will
fall on the thousands dependent for
support on their weekly wages. Ev-
cry luxury has its producer, therefore
every economy on the part of the rich
must entail corresponding suffering
ON the poor; and however cOmmenda-
BILE the retrenchment may be, it neces-
states a want of employment some-
where.
Although money is by no means
easy here, there seems to be no reason
why, at the approach of Winter, SUBJ
scription boxes should not be placed
in the banks, or in the stores of re-
sponsible citizens, which in the depth
of the cold weather, might be found
to contain tangible and well time
help. AS things stand, it seems i'm
possible to hope for anything short of
extreme distress in the East during
the next four months. Many q man
who would not care to see his name on
list for subscription Of fifty cents
OF dollar, would gladly deposit that
small amount for the benefit of East
ern operatives in state Of starvation.
The subject is not one to be trifled
with, and is at least worthy of dis
eussiOn. Two months hence, all Cali
fornia may be called upon to come
to the rescue of distressed work.
men. Famine produces riot, and riot
bloodshed. A little timely and unos-
tentatious preparation may save un-
told misery, and it will not be to the
discredit of Los Angeles to have been
foremost in thoughtfully instituting
some such means of help.
Compare for a moment the state of
our country from its incipient settle
ment with that of the East. Though
money is not perhaps plentiful, and
business through competition is brought
down to fine point, yet we have no
such masses Of poor people here as
they have in the East; and, if we had,
the climate is such that they could not
suffer here as they do there. The mat
ter should not end here. There are
many thoughtful minds amongst US,
who, while they grasp the idea, may
be able to conceive some good and
practical means Of securing the aid for
the East that will SO surely shortly be
demanded. e.

81 A REMARKABLE WELL.-The San
Jose Mercury Of October 29th makes
this mention:
Many of our citizens yesterday Wis
tied the premises Of Maloney, on the
Alviso road, about mile and half
from this city, to see new artesian
well which discharges an immense
stream Of water with such force as to
carry it many feet in the air, often
throwing out very large quantities of
gravel and very large pebbles. The
well is only three hundred feet deep,
and the flow is indeed remarkable.
All who have seen it express the belief
that If pipes were placed in the we'll
the water could be carried to a height
of forty or fifty feet. 1t is one of the
most remarkable wells of which we
have ever heard, and Is really worth
seeing.

EDITOR Misunderstanding to the

to appropriate the public money for

Wood did not apply for any subsidy to
the Press, or have anything whatever
to do with such all application.

THE ROMANCE OF REALITY.

A widow of seventy years died IN
Portsmouth the other day, the truth Of
whose life was stranger than many
fiction. AT the age of eighteen shemar-
ried the choice Of her heart, a young
sea captain, and after brief and happy
honeymoon, he left her for a foreign
voyage. But his ship was never heard
from, and doubtless foundered at sea,
with all on board. The young husband
rs he was dressing for sea the morning
be left home, playfully threw pair of
stockings backward over his head, to
test some sailo, S charm or other, and
they CHANGING to land on the top of a
canopy bedstead. he remarked,
Sarah. let them stay there till l
come back And many and many q
year they have laid there, but, alas !
he never returned. But neither love,
nor hope, nor expectations ever died
out in her faithful heart during all the
many years of her lonely pilgrimage.
To the last, whenever door opened,
or step was heard approaching, she
turned to see if it might not be he
whom she mourned and sought. But
he never came again to her-let us
hope and trust that she has gone to
him. By her desire, she was buried
in her wedding dress, with white gloves
and wedding ring. Her sister, also,
had a peculiar but very different expe-
rience. After an engagement OF
twenty-seven years. her lover left
Portsmouth for New York, and in 4
very short time became enamored with
an Irish servant girl in his brothers
family and married her.
