Too Much Taxation.

Forty thousand acres of land in this
State are devoted to grapes, and a
careful estimate shows that there are
100000 acres specially adapted to the
vine. If this is not an argument
against the unjust and ruinous dis
elimination against the viniculturists
by both national and State revenue
laws, we should like to know what is
In an era of general prosperity, the
that many of the finest vineyards in
the State have been rooted up. The
Internal Revenue and Tariff Acts are
SO shaped that distillers can import
wines and distill brandy from them
cheaper than they can manufacture the
brandy from native wines. Although
brandy costs in France 81 so per gal
lon, and pays duty of 81, bra ndy
distilled from imported wines can be
produced at cost of 81 80. Not con-
tent with this discrimination, the State
so arranges its tax laws as to tax the
land, tax the growing vine, and tax
the product of the vine, all combined
making load of taxation heavier in
proportion than that borne by any
other species of property, and sutfi
GENTLY burdensome to render the bust
ness Improbable. tsafssa

Judging from our own experience,
there is not public institntion of any
kind, or in fact n well known citizen
in Los Angeles, that is not almost
daily in receipt Of letters asking for
information about the country. All
over the United States and in many
countries of Europe the attention of
people DESIRING TO efnigrate has been
attracted to Southern California by
the recital Of the attractions Of its
marvellous climate and agricultural
resources. Before coming, how
ever, almost everyone wishes to
know something about the coun-
try more than can be gathered
from the casual reports of news
paper correspondents. There is
a great variety of informatlon valuable
to the emigrant that would prove but
dry reading to the general public, and
beside, each individual has some par
ticular questions that he wants an
swered. The letters addressed to indi-
viduals often go unanswered from a
want of time to write so voluminOusly
as may be required, and often the one
applied to is not in possession OF the
information necessary to give a salts
factory reply. 1t would seem to us
that great good could be accomplished
by establishing an agency in this city
for the purpose of furnishing in
formation concerning our city and
the surrounding country to all
applicants. The California Emil
grant Union has done a great
work since its organization in 1889
in just the direction that we have in
Dictated. Since its organization it has
received from all parts of the United
States 1896 letters, and from Europe
S35, making total of 4,73l. Dur
ing the year the Union has writ
ten 1859 letters to different parts
of the world. 1t has mailed over 25,-
900 documents including daily and
weekly newspapers within the year,
and furnished information at the
office to over 1000 applicants. Twelve
colonies forming for emigration have
been correspondent with and their set
Element in our State secured. All
this work has been done without
charge, and the value it has been to
the State is incalculable. We are
aware that the Chamber of Commerce
has been doing much of this kind
of work for the benefit of our
city, but we need an office the sole
business of which should be to collect
information and disseminate it broad
cast throughout the country, and
which would always be prepared to
furnish ready reply to the number
less applications for information. If
our citizens would second the efforts
of the Chamber by raising sum suf-
ficient to employ a competent person
to attend to this branch of business,
they would do more to settle up our
unoccupied lands and populate our
city and the surrounding villages than
five times the money expended in any
other way would accomplish

The NJ. T.. Church, south, Held Re-
sDOnsibIe for Ku-kIux OutraXeS.

We l.arn from the New York papers that,
at a meeting of Methodist ministers i'm that
city, last Monday night, a preacher named
Lansing, who has charge Of a "miXed' con-
~grcgatiOn here, read the following extract
from a letter, as illustrating the condition
of affairs in Tennessee:
1.-The prompt movement of the Secretary
of War and President Grant in reference
TO the murders in Tennessee has hushed
things for the time being. 1t is more quiet
now. Five churches and a camp-meeting
shelter burned within the past six weeks
i'm our Conference is the result to u
church of the white mans party. Brother
Kew writes that he cannot travel some
places in his district. Allen Faux
has been threatened and pistols flour
ished about him. Cornelia Hayden is
teaching near where those sixteen
were taken from Jail. Allen Faux
was ordered to leave the place where he is
neutrality-suspicious. or die; he left. Some
of our white preachers have been threaten
ed, and had this white mans party the
power, the negroes and the white U.ion
people, and especially preachers of u
church, would have to retire or die. These
'rebs' hate the UniOn-the Government
worse han the negro, and the Northern
people should understand that every negro
killed is a weakening of the Union party
in the South.
This letter was written by Rev. J. Bra
den, President of the Central Tennessee
College at Nashville, aud could be relied
on, the speaker said. Lansing also stated
that the NJ. T.. Church South was deiin-
quent in its duty; that it was to be held
responsible for the Ku-klux OUtrages ofthe
| past as well as those of recent date. The
leading paper Of the Church South had not
only failed TO denOunce these outrages, but
had actually apologizedfor them Numbering
six hundred thousand strong in the South
ern States, the Church was able, whenever
it chose to assert itself, to control public
sentiment and regulate affairs in the inter
est Of good order, but it had hitherto failed
to do so. Forhis own part, because he had
elected TO do whatever he could individ-
ually against the rebellion now existing in
Tennessee, he had been prescribed and os-
tracised, socially and religiously, by the
members and ministers Of the Church
South.

TROUBLE IN RUTHERFORD.
HOth Whites and Black Reported 10
be Arming.

We learn, from what We consider good
authority. that trouble is anticipated with
the colored people in Rutherford county at
a place known as Locks Westinghouse,
some twelve miles north of Murtreesboro.
Last Sunday evening a negro told the
white people Ofthe settlement that five o T
six hundred negroes were arming with the
intention of numbering the whites in thai
vicinity, the following day or night, where
upon the citizens armed themselves and
prepared to resist the expected attack.
Scouts we're sent out and reported
upon returning, that they had heard a num-
Der of voices on a high point, known as the
knob, near Tom Beatty's.
Upon this news being received the white
ladies and children left the ~neighborhoOd
for a point of greater safety. Our inform
ant SAYS that five negroes have been arrest
ed, and are now confined in the jail at
MmfeesbOro. The monitor, Of yesterday,
however, has nothing 70 say with regard to
a disturbance in any part of the country,
and we trust that the ~apprehensiOns Of the
people in the section mentioned may prove
10 be without foundation.

1t was a lively little scene that occurred

herself, the canine perched himself on the
cushion beside her. The driver came in
from the platform and n%otifyingthe ladythat
the management Of the road did moi pro-
pose to accommodate dogs in that way,
pulled his four legged passenger from the
seat.
This aucered the lady exceedingly, aud
she told the ma ifhe did it again it would
not be well for him. The driver returned
to his team, but mo sOOner had lie reached
the outside Of the car than the dog was
again beside his mistress. Coming IN the
| second time he attempted to put the doc
out, which so exasperaied the lady that she
arose to her feet and hit the driver a whacs
over the head with her parasol. The force
of the blow smashed the weapon to atoms

He saws the lady took the animal OH IN,
