Tho future of Southern California.


Every city in<the Union claims for
itself future, builds up rich castle
en- uce?air, and has more or less struc-
ture on which to ground its hopes.
Southern California especially is en-
deavoring to bring itself into promi-
i.ence and commend itself as new
country, fertile in resources, and alike
suited to the desires of the millionaire
and the means of the small capitalist.
Pages upon pages have been written
about her resources. San Diego, Los
Angeles and Santa Barbara have been
unceasing in their register Of facts ia
vorable to immigration; and the week
ly increase in the population, the inn
mense freights of the steamers, all in
dicate that the day is at hand when
the capitalist as well as the invalid
will seek the southern coast and call it
his home. To pass through any town
on the osth of November and record
the fact that strawberries are for sale
in the fruit stores, and that the ther-
mometer in the shade averages 640 is
an undeniable Recommendation for
any tract of country in the world. The
hottest weather between San Luis
Obispo and San Diego this year, in the
shade, has never equalled, by 20 de-
grees, the eastern summer; and in the
winter, while thermometers in the
Eastern States register 200 below zero,
we of Southern California rejoice in a
temperature of 500 to So.
Again, our exports on each steamer
chronicle large shipments of bullion,
wool, brandy, wine, alcohol, honey,
grapes, raisins, beeswax, hides, lem
ons, oranges, walnuts, castor and other
beans, alfalfa, ore, cheese, eggs, but
ter, lines, apples, pears, and many
other products.
A Chamber Of Commerce is weekly
studying to advance the interests of
Los Angeles, and with it the whole of
the Southern Coast. Other Chambers
will be established in course of time,
all having the same end in view.
There cannot exist any such COM
munity of purpose as unites at least
the three chief cities OF the Southern
Coast. The northern towns are de-
pendent on Sacramento or San Fran
cisco; the southern towns offer ten
times the advantages to the capitalist,
the agriculturalist, the artizan and the
professional man, and they are depend
ent on nobody. Even to-day the chief
southern merchants ship Immediately
from New York, while they buy spe-
cially all California goods to the exclu-
sion of others. Every day eastern
capitalists are investing in some point
or other on the coast, and the African
Diamond fields or the NEUROLOGICAL
cave of Aladdin pale before the actual
worth of the rich territory which lies
between the Golden Gate and the
Mexican frontier.

This past week we have had the same
old tale at the Minstrels and at Platt's
Hall. At the California a new play
has been introduced, entitled "Field

play has been tolerably successful and
drawn good houses, but the ha6itucs

Commissions for street and park openings are
becoming an expensive feature Of our municipal

and the same will come up for argument on Mon
day next.

will be seen by the report below, have made o
presentment against curbstone vendors ct id Onane
genus, excepting, however, the curbstone brokers
who ply their vocation about Wall street. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether more will come OF 1t than
from similar presentments by former grand juries.
The case OF Johnston and Yates, charged with
being concerned in the alleged lorgeries OF New
York Central Railroad bonds, seems to be set down
regularly as part OF the days programme in the
Court OF Oyer and Termner Arguments upon ap-
plication for their release ON bali were to have
been heard yesterday, but as the Grand Jury have
not vet brought in the promised additional indict-

sented in the form Of an afldavt, and viii be found

In Its exertions to raise discussion Of C9sarism.
The clever editor OF the New York Commercial
Advertiser credited the HERALD for shrewdness in
getting up the discussion to I'LL up a dull period
with sensation to the advantage Of the HERALD,
whichhe said was an Old stratag EN- with the
HERALD. But, nevertheless, the HERALD has some
thing solid to 20 upon, and has succeeded in call
ing public attention TO the subject 1t has brought
all shades Of opinion TO bear upon the question.
And 1t Is quite amusing 10 see how many different
views have been made tributary to the discus
sion -
Ffrst-we have those who regard the question
OF C9sarism as absurd. They go to say why it
Is absurd, but nevertheless discuss Ii. And we
venture the opinion that the mere discussion OF 1t
shows that this country has taken a step towards
Cesarism. As in the case OF vice. II Is only stage
from the discussion to the embrace One says the
country has no inclination for Cesar, another
that II it had there Is no man TO make Cesar OF,
