The Los Angeles Express, for prob
ably the hundredth time, calls atten-
ton to the need of gaslight on the
streets of that city. The Express,
however, handles the subject too GIN
gerly. 1t only seeks IAN arrange
ment' with the gas company. What
Los Angeles needs is some bold, vigor-
Gus action which shall at once make
the gas monopoly come to terms.
That city is supplied with quality
of gas which is q little the worst ever
furnished to any town. For this gas
an exorbitant price is charged. The
gas company has an exclusive fran
chise, which runs for many years yet;
but we question such franchise, clear
ly against the interests of the
people, will stand in law. The
company refuses to light the streets Of
the city, except on its own exorbitant
terms, and with this arrogant monop-
oily the local journals are weakly call
ing for compromise. Let Los An
geles condemn the gas works to pub
lie use, pay the company their exact
value and run them herself. Then her
people may have gas on easy terms.

averted, the probabilities are that
Cuba will be free.

Angeles half as much as fairs of the

mode of rectifying the evil. 1t is not

SOVEREIGN.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1873-11-21

Nor in defiance, but merely as an
item, the HERALD mentions the fact
of its having received fifty new sub
scribers this week, and lost but
two. This journal will never be afraid
to maintain fearlessly independent
position in regard to all questions, and
whilst it will never truekle to the
people, it will never bow to ring.

lation Of either contempt.

DouBLE their value.
The Herald and the Fair.

Now that all has been said on both
sides which reason, wrath, malice,
prejudice and opinion have been able
to suggest, it will be well for members
of the Association and others to re-
view the situation, and the position OF
the HERALD in regard to it. The great
outcry is over, and on defense can
subserve any Interior end. The HER
aid is not ashamed to publish what 1t
has done for the Association, for from
the first number, which was published
on the I'd of October, until the last day
of the races, this journal was unceasing
in its efforts to make the meeting a
success. If anyimember Of the Associa-
tion doubts this statement, let him call
at this Office, and he will find the Fair
and the Races far better and more con-
stantly advertised than elsewhere.
Firstly-The programme of all six
days racing was inserted gratis for ~
days in the HERALD.
Secondly-There were more frequent
references to and longer compliment
tary notices of the Fair in this jour-
nal than in the other morning paper.
Thirdly-This paper sent out re-
porter every day, for five days before
the races, to give accounts OF the
horses and detail the doings and pre-
parations of the association.
Fourthly-It engaged shorthand
reporter for the race week and gave
longer, fuller and better reports of the
races than any other paper; and lastly,
it never said one word in disparage-
ment of the management until the
last morning, when nothing could
affect for better or worse the success
Of the present year, and no harm could
be done, pecuniarily, to the stock
holders.
What the HERALD has said, it has
said calmly, deliberately and con-
scientiously. It has published no un-
Just or malicious statements. Its OPP
position has been uncompromising
and severe, but genuine. 1t has sought
for no popularity in its denounce-
ments, and feared "no powers that
be.n
BY the present course of the HERALD
the association will be benefited in
the end, and with it the interests OF
all Southern California.

MORE OPINIONS.

EDITOR HERALD:-As rival papers
have SO severely commented on your
criticisms on the conduct and failure
of the Fair at the Rink, we take the
liberty to encourage you in your "trea-
son" to our beautiful valley.
The grandest agricultural, pomocul-
tural, Horticultural and sericultural
possibilities of America centre here.
And yet, under the present manage
ment of the District composed of sew
eral counties, this is probably the
poorest exhibit ever given in Califor-
mia, though others have been held rep
resenting single county. The few
who did exhibit fruit and young trees
did nobly. Fine wines, etc., from
few manufactures were presented, but
the display was meagre, and many
strangers and citizens were heard to
pronounce the Fair as whole, dis
graceful fraud. Some who came here
with money to purchase, develop and
beautify, have gone to other parts of
the State disguised. And we too say,
"better no Fair than such."
The newspapers are to-day at once
the peoples r0strum and teachers;
and our help must come in open,
fearless criticism; and that is our best
friend, that most openly cautions,
faithfully instructs and fearlessly de-
fends our every interest.
Let our Oranges take this matter in
hand, and see that the Public Fund
encourages the producers, not only of
the team, but Of the load which ne
cessitates the team. B.

"A ter of Southern California, and more
especially that most favored section called
Santa Barbara, becomes known to- the world,
1t Is not surprising that Il widespread and
growing interest in this region should be
awakened. 1t Is the constant aim of the Press
to furnish perfectly reliable information on all
points of interest to tourists, invalids and
home-seekers, which we are now able to do
with greatly increased facilities.
While the PRESS seeks to promote the

directly interested in the growth and coming

loveliness of the climate, Its almost incredible
healthfulness, the beauty of the scenery, the
wondrOus variety and fertility of the soil, the
almost unlimited range OF products which
flourish there without irrigation, will be
