MononoIIas.

No Intelligent mind can resist the eOnclu-
sion that the United States is rapidly becOm-
ing the home Of monOpOlies. There is scarce
ly any enterprise that will admit Of cOnsOlida-
ton around which the tolls Of the mOnOpOlist
are not Immediately thrown. Once thus i'm
prisonsd it is held with a grasp that it seems
impossible TO unlOOse, and the result is that
we are monopoly ridden in a thousand direc-
tons, where there should be full and ample
room for free competition.
This mOnopoiIzing spirit would not properly
be regarded as reprebensible, were it not for
the fact that no sooner Is power thus obtained
than iE is shamelessly abused, and always at
the expense Of the masses. Under the spe-
ciOus caption Of public cOnveniences" the
greatest wrongs are perpetrated, and, strange
TO say, the injured parties become almost i'm
medlately submissive, and hug the chains
with which they are 50 cruelty fettered.
This cannOt always prevail. A change must
and will come, and sooner perhaps than many
are now disposed 70 believe. This crushing
out Of individual enterprise In order that the
few may amass wealth, must ultimately reach
the full extent Of Its tether, and then will
come the reVulslOns. The millions viii not
always Be patient and tEactable.--Phild. Star.

For the private qualities and personal virtues
of Robert L. Lee Mr. Bayard and all others may
have just respect, but as a political exemplar
could not the Senator from Delaware have better
held up GEORGE WAsHINGToN, the Virginia de-
fender OF the UNION, than the Virginia General
who IN a Tebeliious uniform, under a reDellious
flag led the hosts of armed men to destroy what
Washington had builded !-COmmeTcidi.
Doubtless Senator Bayard entertains the opin
ion that had WAsHINeToN been alive when hi,
native Virginia was thrcathcncd with co crcion
and the destruction of its sovereigntyby an armed
invasion, he would have been found on The side
of Lee and his State.
Whether this is so or not, the great majority ol
the people Of the United States regard the late
leader Of the Confederate Ghost Of armed men
the greatest soldier that the war produced, in ad-
dilOn TO "the private qualities and personal vir-
tues" for which "Mr B1yard and all others may
have just respect"
Never in any country were a people SO unani-
nous in their devotion TO a leader as The people
of the Confederate States were TO Lee at the
close of the war. Notwithstanding the decision
was against him, Washington himself, AL things
considered, was not more universally respected.
Lees life will yet shed lustre upon American
arms in all parts OF the country, for in all parts
OF it was be admired as great Christian soldier.

sas, 900 Of the City Money Cone.

The City Council have purchased the school
house Of Messrs. jackson and Bond for a city hos
pitAl. This is q worse investment than the park
There ls no immediate use for & city hospital
There are no patients ready to put into it. and we
do not know where they are to be had, unless
portion of the inmates of the county aims house is
transferred to this building. Then it is to be re
modled and furnished aud a superintendent, ma
tron, physician, nurse and other help is to be pro
vidcd at yearly salaries. When these people all
get there We presume, they are to sit down and
wait until some workman gets his toe or finger
mashed, or his leg broken, or skull cracked And
these misiortunes must happen 70 q stranger or
man who has no home in our midst, before even
such an unfortunate will allow himself to be car
ried half mile to have his wounds dressed. The
only way this state of AFFAIR." which will exist, can
be prevented is to turn the so-caled hospital into
a city aims house which it is sure to become. As
a matter Of course, no distinction on account of
race or color" will be allowed within ats wallis
and it will Be easy to all it with certain class Of
voters. The whole thing is q "Sst up job" by
which the former owners are enabled 10 rid them
selves Of property which would not have sold for
anything like as much money at auction. HAD the
owners been Democrats they wOald not have found
purchaser in the Republican City Council at any
S1ch figures.
The house and lot, short distance from It, built
by Mr.. Finn, would have answered the present
purpose OF the city quite as well, and it sold fer

4 Merited Tribute.

TO say that the play of Hamlet, at
the Merced Theatre, was we'll put on
the stage would be but the faintest of
praise, and a positive injustice to the
recipient of the benefit, Samuel w.
Piercy. The audience was composed
of the elite of the city, and the theatre
was packed with the most appreciative
audience ever gathered within its
walls. .4#.... .s
OF the persOnatiOn of Hamlet by
Mr.. Piercy, too much cannot be said
i'm praise. In voice, gesture, attitude,
physique, intonation and enunciation,
he seemed the reality of Shakspeare's
master-cOnceptiOn, his sublimest tra-
gedy. Without rant or eXtravagant
display Of power, with II correctness of
rendition seldom realized by one so
recently brought before critical att
dience, and with an ease of mOdera-
ton remarkable for it's precision, the
beneficiary carried his audience into
the full spirit of the play, and was
greeted with rapturOus applause, be-
ing thrice called before the curtain,
and the recipient Of numerous floral
tributes from the ladies in the auditO-
rum. His scenes with the Ghost,
the "Closet Scene," and his semblance
of madness, were among the best wit
messed i'm California, while the SOlili-
quics, i'm his hands, were the best of
evidences of his possession OF the true
conception of the authors meaning,
and the talent to give them utterance
in II manner satisfactory to both HIM
self and his hearers. The Queen, of
Madame Duret, was a fine piece Of act
ing, comparing very favOrably with
the impersonation of Charlotte Cush-
man, Mrs. Walters, and Others of
equal fame. The Ghost was very
creditably given by Mr.. Barrows,
whose voice, however, is not so well
suited for sepulchral utterances as
might have been wished. Tn Laertes
Mr.. b. did himself much credit, and
merited the hearty applause he re-
ceived. Mr.. H. s. Mckinney, who
kindly volunteered rs HoratiO, made
most favorable impression. A little
more distinction and little less ra-
pidity of utterance would have added
much to his impersOnatiOn; but it is
but just to say that his efforts We're far
better appreciated than those of some
of the regular members of the COM
lany. Mrs. Eddy, also volunteer,
added much to the attraction of the
play, by her fine presence and u happy
rendition of the part entrusted to her.
Miss I4ipsis, as Ophelia, made a de-
cided hit in the mad scene, and the
dandy, Osfick, was simply i'm her
hands, comedy personified. We cam
not close this report without brief men
tion fof the 90 first actOr.u If he was
trying to create the impression that
he was Il windmill in the last stage OF
lunacy, or a descendant of Taurus, bel
lowing and paving, he certainly sue
ceeded; he shOuldi go to IL woodward
to practice. tl4iyi -
Taking ii all in all, no play has
given such satisfaction rs was ex-
pressed on this occasion, and no actor
has so well desefved the ovation ten
dered to Mr.. sPietry fis45Ag "es'
Friday evening" will I've grand Com

southern pi~trir.' Agricultural Fair.


The south ern District Agricultural
Association, with the progre ssive ell
ergy which has characterized it from
its foundation, offers, this year, over
$1,000 in cash premiums. The report
states, also, that liberal special pre-
miums will be awarded for all worthy
articles exhibited, not mentioned in
the schedule The greater portion of
the arrangement Is left to the untiring
energy of George Butler, while the
interior mechanism is skillfully con-
Quoted by the secretary, Major b. c.
Truman. Nothing will be omitted to
make the meeting in every way a
greater triumph than even that of last
year, and all that perfect arrangement,
thought, practical and scientific know
ledge can do, will furnish the mate
rials of success. 8iuz#.r u.s.
The Improvements this year are as
various as needilll. The speed park,
the inside practice track, the stables,
stalls, and water supply, are not to be
beaten i'm the State. The affairs of the
Society are on a most sound basis.
Only at the last meeting, note for
$lO,OOO, held by the bank, was re-
deemed and destroyed. Shade trees are
being planted everywhere, and there
seems to be no doubt that the Presi-
dents wish may be realized, and (as
he said in his able address year ago.,
that we may "in time expect to have
a floral hall, fountains, lawns and
flower gardens, perhaps a hotel, and
make it the attractive place of South
ern California. 1t will be place where
you will take your friend, or the
stranger who visits our shores, to
show him the capabilities of our
climate; where you will take your
family for recreati0n; where the in
valid may stop to drink in our pure
air and health; where he can al
most hear the surf Of the Pacific as it
curls over the sand or bOoms against
the rocks; where he can feel the fresh,
cooling breeze, almost spray, that
comes from it to temper the MONDAY

acknowledgements him, he can feast
them on the ever-changing panorama
of our mountain views-see the peaks
of the Sierra Madre, snOw-capped half
the year-while he is surrounded by
perpetual verdure, by the fragrance
and bloom of the orange and lemon;
where the eeranium, rose, jasmine
and all the flowers are i'm perpetual
bloom; and the mOcking-bird will de-
light his ear by his ever-varying
notes.

The dramatic section of the Turn
Verein fermania have selected Rob-
ertson's play of "Caste" as its next
novelty. This drama, when first pro-
dueed in London, had most cxtraor-
dinary ran. The only thing that has
as yet marred the success of the dra-
matte section is the natural want of
smoothness incidental to the first rep
resentation of any play, whether by
amateurs or professionals. What il
known as dress rehearsal, some two
or three nights before the public repre-
sentation, would greatly add to the
success ot their exhibitions, and the
audience might be selected by means
al limited number of private invi-
tatlOns.

TO MIR. LICHTENBERGER
the following information is due: Mr..
Lichtenberger divides with Mr.. Golles
Mr.. Rnder and others, the honor of
making the best buggies, wagons and
other vehicles. He says that the adj
vantage which los Angeles carriage
factories have over San Francisco and
the Eastern States are, firstly, that the
dry climate is more favorable to the
seasoning of wood, and that no i'm
ported wagons will stand the effects of
this climate. Every country has its
own peculiarities, and i'm this country
higher wheels and broader tires are u
necessity. A different brake is also re-
quired to that on Eastern wagons, in
order to suit mountain and sandy
roads. Higher prices are paid here to
mechanics i'm this line, consequently
the best men come here to work. The
best proof of the exeellency of the
work here is that the Coast Line Stage
Company send jobs from Santa Clara
to Los Angeles, while the Telegraph
Line forwards coaches to be repaired
from the other side of Bakersfield.
THE ALSO MILLS
turn out ~ tons week of wheaton
-four, corn meal, ground barley, horse
feed, rye -four, and cracked corn. The
machinery and appointments are very
perfect, and the prOpriet0rs have lately
replaced the old OvershOt wheel for
