VAIJtE OF pIcTlfRES

VALUE OF PICTURES I HOOMs.-A
room with pictures In II and room
without pictures, differ byhearly as
much as Il room with vi fnd0ws. No
thing, we think, is more melancholy,
particularly to u person who has to
pass time In his room than blank
walls; TO- pictures are 10 bp-hOles of es-
cape to his soul, leadir Is it to other
scenes and other spheres 1t is such an
inexpressible reliefto a p erson engaged
in writing, or even readi ny, on looking
up, to find his soul es faping, as it
were, through the fran e-wOrk Of an
exquisite picture, to OF her beautiful
and perhaps Idyllic seer hes, where the
fancy for a moment nj hay revel, re-
freshed and delighted. Is 1t winter i'm
your world? PeIhaps hummer Is in
the picture; what a char ming m0men-
tary change and contrast! And thus
pictures are CONSIDERS of loneliness;
they are the sweet hatteSry to the soul;
they are a relief to the jaded mind;
they are windows to be imprisoned
thought; they are bOOkst they are HIS
tories and sermons which We can read
without the trouble of turning oyer
the leaves.

An introductory Word.

With this number, begins the publ
cation of q anewspaper. To accord with
custom, few Introductory words are
necessary. The purposes and plans of
the HERl4i.p are briefly, and we hope
fully, statfd in the Prospectus, pub
3ished In Another column. The watch
WORD of the HERALD will he Truth;
The basis upon which it will be pub
lished Wi ! he Facts. 1t will strive ear
nfstIy for the greatest good to the
&reatest humber. 1t believes that a
man is man, be he rich or poor, OF
high or-low degree.
The chief aim will not be consist
ency; to-day, it will say what it deems
to be right, and what it thinks will ac-
complish the greatest good. But if
tomorrow, further developments OF
matqrer thought shall prove the fallacy
Of to-day's position, there will be no
lssitancy in throwing it aside.
The HERALD is not, nor will it be,
the organ of any man or set of men.
No one shall ever say or feel that he
eontro3 it, except so far as he is work,
ina ti the good of all.
70 help Los Angeles and Southern
California, and to better the condition
and enlighten the minds of its inhab-
itants, is the HERALD's mission. In
this may 1t receive the best wishes and
assistance of all well-fisposed and we'll

ANOTHER MAORI WAR is imminent

ANOTHER MAORI WAR is imminent
in New Zealand. Some years ago a
number of desperate MaOries We're
sent to the Chatham Islands for life,
through the mistaken clemency OF the
British government. They should
doubtless have been Modocked at once,
and prevented from further abusing
the gift of life. At the Chatham ISL
ands they broke out, captured French
vessel, killed all who resisted them,
returned to New Zealand to perpetrate
the great crime known as sthe Poverty
Bay Massacre. Settlers in the North
island have long been harrassed by
them, and the destruction of life and
property at their hands now renders Il
general war highly probable. Nothing
short Of determination Will subdue
them In appearance they are of large
stature an olive skin, OF magnificent
proportions, and great courage. The
women are very beautiful aud have, at
times, even intcrnarried with wealthy

The FAILURE of the Butcher Steel
Works, at Philadelphia, is attributed
mainly to the reduction of the tariff
by Congre $, whereby foreign compe-
tition has been allowed to flood our
markets. What have our rampant
Free Traders to say to this?-[ Marys-
vile Appeal.
That man is killed in the pulling
down of an old building is no proof of
utility or lack of utility in the house
itself If an unhealthy impetus is
given to one industry by tariff, of
course the taking away of the tariff
disturbs the industry and incommodes

The Judicial lanvass--The Illness Of
Hon. VIM. n. Robinson Progress Of
the Texas PaciiIc.
IL SAN Diego, Oct. /.
At mass meeting of the citizens
of San Diego, held last night, resolu-
tions were passed unanimously re-
questing Governor Booth and Att or
ney General Love, to enter an appear
ance of the State i'm the condemnation
suit of the Texas and Pacific Railway
Company for right of way. This is
for the right of way over tide lands on
the north above of the bay, and the
feeling manifested last night indicates
the good will of the city and company
toward each other.
The resolutions also condemn the
reports telegraphed to the San Fran
cisco and Sacramento papers from
Los Angeles, and there is no foinda-
ton for such statements.
The Military Telegraph is construct
ed to a point 81 miles east Of here.

The l ast of the Modoc War.

Captain Jack, Shack Nasty Jim,.and
their fellow redskins are to be exc
cuted Friday. BY their msurrection,
nearly a hundred lives were lost, some
of them illustrious and able citizens,
and many homes were made desolate.
Wrongs, which should never have been
committed, were the cause, primarily,
of this slaughter. An Indian is hui
man I'm his nature; If he IL wronged,
he will rebel; if he is cheated, he will
seek redress; if he is pressed to the
wall, he will fight. Once aroused, he
directs his fury alike against the inn0-
cent and guilty of tho depressing race.
If those only suffered, who did the
wrong; if Indian agents, Indian ira
ders, and Indian stealers, alone, suf-
fered the vengeance, arising from the
wrongs they commit, it would matter
little. But it is not so; of those who
were guilty against the Modocs, it is
safe to say, not one suffered the ven
geance inflicted.
Two wrongs do not make one right
A wrong to them justfies not a wrong
i'm return. The sooner Indians are
taught, and that by the strong arm,
that no matter how much injury they
may suffer, the government will not
allow them to inhict indiscriminate
revenge, the sooner will our Indian
troubles assume satisfactory phase.
To pursue him till he shall deliver
himself up, or until a bullet shall
make his race number one less, is the
only way to pacify an angry Indian.
When the Indian becomes peaceful,
when he shall assume the confines Of
his reservation, the duty of the gov
ernment is not done. He should not
then be left to be plundered by traders
and agents, but the honest men OF the
land should be chosen to transact the
necessary reservation business; and
strong penalties, severe laws should
be made to act as a check upon the
ravages of their paid protectors. 1t is
safe to say that more money has been
made by cheating ignorant Indians
than in many other openly forbidden
and dishonest paths of life. Let the
Modoc war teach the white to deal
moro iustly. and the Indian that blood
is the only recOmpense for murder.

able to resist his influence. The very

provides at present, both buyer and
selleriare equally amenable to punish
mepf; both alike are liable to fine or
incarceration. Justice holding her
scales, discovers no difference i'm the
guilt of the tempter and the tempted,
81 long as the latter falls. This it is
that defeats her ends. Both, being
equally guilty, are of necessity
equally tongue-tied; neither dare the
buyer eriminate the seller, nor the
bought voter his purchaser, We're the
