The Local Press on the "Herald ;


ance in Los Angeles last Thursday
morning. 1t is n little larger
than the Express, printed on clear,
readable type, and edited with ability
1t is an enterprise which,' if success
fully conducted, will have an immense
influence for good on the future of Los
Angeles, and from the liberal way i'm
which our business houses of all classes
are represented in its advertising col
umns, they would seem to appreciate
its Importance. We hope it may prove
the Herald of n new era in the pro-
gress of Los Angeles. Althoughit is
larger paper than the Mirror, we are
not jealous, and wish it unbounded
success.-[ Mirror.
LOS ANGELES HERALD.
This is the name of an elegant news
paper that made its appearance on the
I'd of October, 1873, in the city of Los
Angeles. The want of an independent
paper written inEnglish was somewhat
felt, and, according to all appearances,
the HERALD has filed the void, thus
meeting the wishes and aspirations of
all. AS soon as we read its programme
we pronounced it paper pd,. ercel-
lance; but we must avOw, i'm truth and
honor, that reality has surpassed our
boldest cOnjectures.
1t is almost useless to assert that the
public in general will know how to APP
preciate the sterling qualities of the
HERALD, and will extend its sympa-
thy toward so worthy an enterprise
by supporting and patronizing the
same.
Its programme is terse, clear and
concise; it pleases us by the strength
OF mind ii shows, the very good object
it has in view, and the straight for
ward thought by which it is directed.
Devoted to the interests of Southern
California and Arizona, no money can
change its course, and, with varied
and entertaining stock of new and
miscellaneous reading, twill be a good
source OF amusement, instruction and
entertainment to all classes of society,
here and elsewhere.
Among other things, it will defend
and support the rights of our State,
and oppose Capitalization; it will favor
white immigration, and oppose that of
the Chinese; finally, it will be the true
and staunch supporter of the rights of
the people, and the sworn enemy of all
mOnOpOlies.
1t is not an easy thing to follow the
line of conduct that the HERALD has
taken, and hard and painful
is the task that its managers have un-
dertaken. Nevertheless, by what we
have already seen, in so far as we are
enabled to judge by the first numbers,
we can hope that the HERALD will no
bly, and energetically fulfill its mis-
al md l>o rN,k H. Ia
in the world that the intelligent pOr-
tiOn OF the people of California, un-
derstanding the sacrifices and cost of
an enterprise of such magnitude, will
lend their most decided support to the
paper we recommend, and that is en-
dorsed unanimously by the press.
And it must not be Thought for mo-
ment that this opinion Of ours is i'm any
way engendered by any prejudice of
ours in favor of the HERALD; our COM
mendatiOns are already almost useless
and Of hardly any strength, as every
one has passed judgment upon it, and
it has been unanimously favorable.
The dimensions of the HERALD are
34x36 inches, and it is, therefore, not
only the largest paper in Southern
California, but also the most elegant,
being model of Typographical art. Its
prOprietOrs, by the important enter
prise they have undertaken, and its
editors, by the difficult task they have
taken on their shoulders, are entitled
to the support and earnest congratula-
tiOns of the people.
We will not close this article with
out wishing them long life and fruit
ful results.-[La Cronica.
The Los Angeles HERALD made its
appearance yesterday, and is a fine
looking paper. 1t is to be published
daily and weekly. The Herald has a
fine large job Office attached to it's con-
cern, and will in few weeks run its
whole establishment by steam. We
wish it entire success Star.
THE LOS ANGELES DAILY HERALD.
1t is a significant sign of the onward
march Of our city and section that an
intelligent journalist, backed alone by
his own capital and his native pluck,
has singled out Los Angeles rs an in
viting field for another daily morning
newspaper enterprise. In the whole
range Of practical reflection, there is
nothing more difficult than for one to
form an exact and correct idea of the
prOgress-and the possibilities and pro-
liabilities of prOgress,-in ones own
immediate surroundings. Insensibly
we grow with the growth of a place; we
mark its advancement at long epochal
stages; but rarely do we ourselves per-
ceive and fully appreciate the full
bearing of the march during the pro-
cess of progression. Thus it is that
new accesi6ns of population exercise
their most advantageous influences.
They bring new thoughts with them;
they see our situation from new
standpoint, and are not bound by old
landmarks and prescriptive usages.
While, perhaps, many of us have vague
and distinct and even correct ideas of
the possibilities of the future, the cir
conference of our horizon is bound by
anarrOwer periphery than that of the
intelligent man fresh from the great
panorama of the rest of the world. We
cannot see ourselves as others see us;
nor can we see the physical indica-
tions of progress in our midst with the
same expanding eye that others can.
We are not singular i'm this. The
same rule would hold of ourselves, If
we were the soldiers of fortune carving
out new career in other places.
Therefore we say that the appearance
in Los Angeles this morning of q
brand new, handsome and well edited
sheet, bearing upon its face all the
marks and impress Ofa new and prom
ising newspaper departure i'm our midst,
is a sign which we greet with unfeign-
ed qualification. Should we attempt
to theOrize upon its future success from
old eXDcrienceS and contracted ideas of
