A handsome Compliment.

We reprint from the San Bernardo
no Guardian commendatory notice
of the HERALD, not so much for the
fiattering encomiums bestowed upon
this paper, as for the just and accu-
rate estimate of the mission Of a
newspaper:
The Los Angeles HERALD rises
above the miserable local jealousy,
characteristic Of the Express and Star.
Its conductors have true conception
OF what an enlightened newspaper
ought to be. If the Herald does not
reflect the elegant varied life of Los
Angeles" it certainly has too much
self-respect to reflect the narrow and
illiberal views of the Los Angeles
shopkeepers towards San Bernardino,
or even San Diego. 1t recognizes fully
that the modern mission of the Press,
is not merely to reflect public opinion,
but also to mould, and If necessary,
reform 1t. The Herald evinces no am
bition to be merely a local organ; it
takes at least, provincial, and in the
main, an impartial view of all ques-
tions, or projects affecting the interests
of Southern C alifornia as whole. 1t
will not belittle the advantages and
resources of the adjoining counties, to
please the selfish, and shOrt-sighted
political economists, who know no
way to build themselves up, but by
keeping their neighbors down. 1t
does not publish nauseating nonsense
ad inanituna, concerning the superior
ity of the Wilmington slough, over the
San Diego Bay. 1t is aware Of the self
evident fact that Los Angeles can only
advance in the path of progress, pros
perity and development pari pdssu
with the other counties Of Southern
California; not merely alone, to their
exclusion. 1t is fearless, liberal and
impartial in its criticisms, whether of
Los Angeles, or the adjoining counties.
1t is hard to see how such a just and
courageous journal fourishes in COM
munity, where the illiberal Express is
tolerated, or the pandering Star is

The Episcopal Church.

At q meeting of the Vestry of st.
Athanasius Church ON Monday even
Ing 1t was resolved to repair their
church building at once, and if posi-
BILE resume services next Sunday. We
are glad to see that such a step has
been taken, and think it will meet
with the decided appreciation of all
chnrch-going people; and as move
towards building new church--the
one best calculated to receive support
and create enthusiasm. The opinion
OF competent engineers has been OBJ
tained that the repairs contemplated
will render the edifice entirely safe.
This action of the Vestry is prelimi-
nary to increased exertion to attain
the object of the congregation and the
purchase Of new lot, and 9he erection
Of q building that will be an ornament
to tue city and source ofgra tification
to all Christian people.

and the excavation of the channel.
No appropriation is now asked for

that the balance on hand will he suffi-

shall be reason to change this opinion,

The timber construction, in progress
at the date of the last annual report;
was completed in November. Twen-
ty-seven hundred feet of the first and
1000 feet of the second construction
were built. The first section was en-
banked with clay, sand and gravel al
most its entire length to the height Of
mean low water or above.
In July the high course of tide un-
dermined and carried away $50 feet OF
the work. The gaps thus made were
left open until the timber work was
completed. Afterward they were
closed, using stone and timber. . "
The water on the bar has been deep
ened one foot. The deep water has
been advanced about $50 feet seaward.
When the current ceases to dredge,
artificial means will be used to exca-
vate channel, which is intended to
be 200 feet wide and 10 feet deep.
1t is believed that the funds now
available will be sufficient for this pur-
pose, as well as to complete the other
parts of the work.

The onIclaI Report.

We republish from the Express the
official reports Of the Engineers III
charge Of the work on the Whining
ton breakwater. We do this not be-
cause there is anything new in them,
one having been made In July, ana
the other in October, nor yet for the
reason that there is sanythAng of much
interest contained, all of any impor-
tance having long since been public
property, but the Express having cho-
sen to draw them forth from their
musty bed, we reproduce them that we
may not be charged with concealing
or ignoring any facts that may tend to
throw any light upon the matter.
Having assumed for the sake OF the
argument that the bar was removed,
which by the way the reports 90 not
show to be the case, we asked the
Erpress to inform us how that would
bring ship and rail together. The
Erpress answers by hurling this vo-
luminous report back at us, and shout
ing in grandiloquent rhetoric, some
thing about jocund day waltzing
around the mountain tops on the tip
of his ear.
This is all very nice, but it will not
bring any ships to the Wilmington
wharf, and we must again mildly in
sist that the Express should get down
from its misty heights among the
mountain tops, and answer plain
question. We are anxious to know
how, after the bar is dredged away,
ships wilf get to the wharf at Will
mington. The friends Of the lighter
age system do not pretend that there
is sufficient water there now to permit
any such feat being performed. They
have outlined magnificent plan
by which a double row OF wooden
walls one hundred and fifty yards
apart are to be built from the lower
point of Rattlesnake Island to Will
mington. The channel between these
walls Is then to be dredged out, till a
deep and straight channel is secured.
This in itself is confession that ship
and rail are not brought together
when the bar is dredged or cut away.
Now we want to know what prospect
there is of funds being secured for the
immediate execution of this work.
We ask the Express, or any other
man, to enlighten us. In the mean-
time, let us have the present road, OF
some other one, extended to deep
water. Los Angeles demands it. The
rich valley of San Bernardino, with its
varied products and increasing COM
merce, demands it, Inyo County asks
that its bullion shall not be taxed to
sustain monopoly, and calls for free
access to the sea. The whole country
with one common voice demands that
this miserable monopoly shall get out
of the way, and cease to levy its tax
Of $4,000 per annum upon the trade
Of Southern California.
