that Republican Congress respond.
ed to the agonizing appeal that cams
up from drowning men and women in
the oyeraowed districts Of Louisiana
and Alabama by appropriating the
munificent cum OF $500, 900 for their
relief" They are now behaving so
badly that the Republic seems to be
sorry that they were not allowed to
drown. Tue fact that there wis no

bacon voted by Congress is being dis.
tributed to lazy negroes for the our.
pose of keeping them faithful to car.
pet-bag officials, seems to have been
overlooked by the Republic.

THE CITY PRINTING The HERALD'S
BID misunderstood.

A misapprehension arose in the
Council, at its meeting on Thursday
afternoon as to the intent and purpose
of the HERALD's bid to do the city's
advertising and job work for the ensu-
ing year. There can be no doubt but
that the apparent ambiguity of the
bid was occasioned by the accidental
omission of some portion of it in the
reading, and in order to show that it
was the clearly stated intention of the
company to do all the advertising and
job work required by the city during
the year, for $l25, we print the bid in
the columns of the HERALD. 1t will
be seen that the last word in the body
of the bid implies more than is stated,
if required. The HERALD'S bid reads
as follows:
Los ANGELES, April %, 1874.
To the Honorable Mayor and Common
Council Of Los Angeles: The HERALD will do
the following job work and advertising, as
per specifications, for one hundred and
twenty-five dollars [sl25l, to wit:
800 tax receipts, bound in three books;
600 warrants, bank note paper, bound;
l.50o Assessors blanks:
500 Marshal's certificates Of tax sales;
1000 license blanks;

OFFICIAL REGULATION ON A SMALL SCALE.

One of two things is as certain as
that the sun shines: Either the temp
tations that bcsct q public officer now
a-days are greater than formerly, or
men are more inclined to dishonesty
than in times past. Assuming that
the number Of official positions are
only proportiOnately greater now than
on the evening when the Mayfower
ran erprow on the sands of Plymouth
Rock, we must concede that the in
crease in the volume of official corrup-
ton is frightfully great. From the
high departments of the Nation itself
down to the beadle of village corpo-
ration, peculation in office is the gen.
eral rule in place of the rare exception.
San Francisco is very maelstrOm Of
this discreditable and, to the taxpay-
ers, very expensive fashion; and now
comes Sacramento with an expose Of
her municipal blots and blemishes.
The art of robbing the people was
worked down to so fine a point that a
Trustees wife monopolized the bust
ness of city gravel hauling, and let out
the work to contractors for commits
sion of one-seventh of the price paid,

enth load. Are we not all poor, sinful

THE RIGHT OF THE MAJOR TY.

The Santa Cruz Sentinel is despe-
rately, indeed, frantically earnest in
its opposition to the Local Option
Law. 1t is rare thing that our friend
SHAW enters so earnestly into dis
cussion that his zeal clouds his good
sense and warps his excellent judge
ment, but he has suffered to this eX-
tent in his fight against trial of the
law in his vicinity. A recent issue of
the Sentinel quotes from the HERALD
the remark that the law is but the
submission of a proposition which can
only be adopted by the consent of the
majority of those it is intended to af-
feet, and calls it "cant," twaddle,"
"dogmatism." 1t then proceeds to
argue against the right of the majority
to make laws for the government of
the whole, as follows:
The spirit of our Republican institu-
tions never contemplated that the law
making power should be exercised di-
rectly by the people at the ballot box,
as it is proposed to be exercised in vot-
ing under the Local Option Act. The
will of the majority was intended only
to be expressed in electing representa-
tives to make laws or in ratifying any
law by such representatives.
This is emphatic, but the next two
sentences are even more pronounced:
If we are to make laws by resorting
to the ballot box, we shall be the vic
Tins of the whims of the majority, and
dance to the music of every popular
caprice. We submit that a more
odious form of tyranny cannot be i'm
posed upon any people than the will of
the majOritywhen it is enforced against
established ideas of liberty, equality
and justice.
We are astonished that, holding
these views, the editor of the Sentinel
should have shouldered a musket in
defense of the nations life. The hon
orable wounds he bears should smart
when he expresses opinions such as
here quoted. VIII he deny that I'M
der our Government the majority
speaks for all, or does he deny that
they have right so to speak? Is it
not the majority who make our laws,
and does not every law assert at the
outset that it is enacted by the people
the whole people? Are not consti-
tutional amendments, the issuance of
bonds, the donation of subsidy, effected
by precisely the same process that the
sale of liquor is prohibited under the
Local Option Law?-the consent of
the majority interested. If the Senti-
mel is opposed to the Democratic prin-
ciple that the majority shall rule, its
arguments are sound, but if it is not
SO opposed, its position on the Local
Option issue is untenable, and should
be vacated at once.

TOBACCO CULTURE.

The Los Angeles Tobacco Associa-
ton commenced active operations
last Sunday, that being the only day
on which they could obtain the water
necessary for setting out the young
plants. The work will continue each
day on which the water may be had,
until the entire area prepared is
planted. DR.. HOWARD and other
gentlemen, who have given great
deal of study to tobacco growing, are
confident that this valley will grow as
fine a quality of tobacco as is pro-
duced anywhere in the United States.
In another column of to-day's HERALD
We print a letter from GEO. w. GIFT,
which contains some facts well under
stood by old tobacco planters, but
which may be of use to new begin
ners, concerning the popularity of
tobacco in adapting itself to the coun-
try in which it is grown. The fact
that Cuban seed, if planted at Gilroy
or anywhere else, will soon transform
itself into the quality of tobacco
grown in the locality, is one of which
all growers should inform themselves.
DR.. HOWARD and associates have
tested this part of the business, and
find it advantageous to import new
seed annually. The HERALD will
from time to time give such informa-
ton on tobacco cultural business
which will ultimately become lead
ing branch in this valley-as will be
most useful to those engaged in it or
who are about to engage in it.

PROSPECTS FOR A PAPER MILL.

Several gentlemen Of means are col
Letting information relative to the
cost of building and operating the ma
chinery requisite for the manufacture
of brown wrapping paper, with view
of erecting such an establishment in
this city. From information at hand
we are enabled to state that the first
cost of all the machinery necessary
will not exceed $4,000, and the cost of
delivering, together with the building,
will not exceed $4,000 more. If our
estimate is not too low, it will pay for
itself i'm few months after commence
ing operations. Rye straw is said to
be the best and cheapest material for
manufacturing this quality of paper,
and that grows in abundance all over
the valley. The home consumption
of wrapping paper is already large,
and augmenting in proportion with our
rapidly increasing population and the
large increase in our fruit yield. The
fruit dealers use vast quantities of
paper in packing fruit, and if it can be
furnished them from home estab-
lishment and at cheaper rates, they
will patronize the local mill to the eX-
clusion of all others. The gentlemen
who are moving in the enterprise are
now satisfied that it is one of the best
investments in which they can place
the amount of money required, and
we have no doubt the next few months
will see the Los Angeles paper mill in
successful operation.

THE "eternal niger" is giving
trouble to the Board of Education of
San Francisco and will no doubt con-
tinue to make himself heard until he
is awarded a front seat in the public
schools. Well, as nothing can be
done in this free and enlightened
Republic, except through the VIII of
the majority, we expect when the in
tell:gent contraband has established
the fact that he claims only what the
law doth give, the dissenting minority
will have to accept the alternative of
school equality or a peacable vacation
of the public school-house. The negro
is determined not to be satisfied with
separate schools for those of his color,
and so long as he is able to find those
who interpret the law in his favor he
is just ignorant enough and foolish
enough to endanger his guaranteed
rights by struggling for those to which
his title is not so clear.

THE San Diego Union says the
agent of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company has announced that the
Panama steamers of the company will
not stop at San Diego for some time to
come, and that all persons at that
place desiring to go East or down the
coast must make San Francisco their
starting point. If a man at San Diego
wishes to reach Panama he must 60
up to San Francisco to get started.
He travels one thousand miles before
he starts on his journey. The COM
pany will damage themselves by this
arrangement. Down the coast travel
ers must seek steamers going that
way, but certainly no one in southern
California will go East by way of
Panama. Once the have reached San
Francisco they will continue their
journey by railroad.
