THE Sacramento Rescue is tenn
perance organ, but it is little intem-
perate in its remarks when it says OF
Justices NILES, WALLACE and Nc
KINsTRY: "Until some just judgment
of God shall remove one or more OF
them to the scene of their reward, the
Local Option law is by their act null
lity." 1t uses equally intemperate
language when it says of the liquor
dealers: "We denounce them as
blood-thirsty villains, cowardly scoun-
drels, pirates, thieves, and worst OF
criminals that ever disgraced the form
of man-this don't mean the low dog
gery-keeper, but every man and beast
engaged in the business-particularly
the wholesale gentlemen"

Laws Defied.

1t Is common remark that Califor-
mia towns and cities have grown up so
rapidly that their builders could not
devote that time and attention to
sewerage and other sanitary measures
which proper regard for the cleanli-
ness of the city and the health of its
people demand. This is true in the
majority of cases, but Los Angeles
does not come in that catalogue. Her
dirty nose and soiled exterior cannot
be excused on the plea of the care
lessness and indifference of adoles-
cence. Los Angeles is one of the old
est, as she is one of the dirtiest, cities
in the State of California. But for
the purifying sea-breeze which daily
sweeps the foul vapors which rise
from the thousand cess-pools and
plague-spots, out of the city, we should
breed epidemics that would depopu-
late our streets and fill our grave
yards. We are proud of our climate,
and boast of the healthy character of
our city, but whatever of truth there
is in the boast is the work of nature
and the result of the natural advan-
tages possessed by the town. We are
doing next to nothing ourselves in the
way of cleansing our city. The sew
erage Of Los Angeles is defective-so
defective that it rather prevents than
aids In carrying off the sewage; and
SO long as the law is not enforced, so
long will this be the worst-drained
and filthiest town in the State. There is
probably no other city in the world
witha government which half-a-dozen
of her citizens as often defy and tram
pie upon as they find its laws and or
dinances conflicting with or prevent

THE well on the KIMBALL oil claim
near San Fernando is down l6O feet,
and emits volume Of gas which is SO
strong that when touched with 8
lighted match it sends up jet o1
flame twenty feet above the surface OF
the ground. Experts who have ex-
anined this well within the last few
days seem confident that an additional
depth of 40 or so feet will strike a
steady flow of oil. The TEMPLE well
is promising finely and the owners OF
the claim are very sanguine that they
will not sink much deeper before
striking an abundance of oil. If the
hopes of these companies are realized,
there will be a second Oil creek excite

ing their schemes for private gain. 1t
is the duty Of the Council to force the
payment of every dollar of the assess
ment levied for the construction of the
Main street sewer, as well as of every
other assessment legally levied. 1t
resolutions are not worth notice, and
their conditions cannot be enforced,
their passage is useless and the time
consumed in their preparation wasted.
We hope the Council will enforce
every legal assessment for the city's
improvement, without regard to friend
or foe. If it does not do so, it is uG-
worthy the name of Council, and its
members should resign at once.
