ATempest in a Tub Of Fat.

There was fearful commotion in
the Star office Thursday. When the
mass of adipose tissue which performs
the task of warming the chair editor
ial, in that concern, beheld its striking
and truthful pen portrait drawn by
the HERALD, it forgot the obesity
that had compelled its withdrawal
from the circus ring, and performed
series of ground and lofty tumbling
that would have opened the eyes of
the groundlings, in the days when the
Major, with fools-cap on one end
and rosettes of red and blue paint on
the other, made grimaces and rode
backward on a mule, for the edi-
fication of country pumpkins. The
ingratitude of man struck him to the
heart. That dress-coat which in the
overlooking generosity of his soul he
had once loaned to an underling of
this office; the pound or two of ink
that his pressman had exchanged with
us;. the fatherly advice he had SO freely
bestowed upon the scoffers of the HER
AID, all rushed to his memory with an
overwhelming force that wiped out
for the moment the recollection of are
mic triumphs and tempted him to curse
the day when he was booted out of
San Diego, and into community
where his peculiar practices are so lit
tie appreciated. But such tempest
could not last. Exhausted nature as
serted her authority, and the giant
mass sunk into state of coma. A
glass of whiskey held to his nose, and
whispered intimation that free
lunch was on hand, aroused him
slightly, and grunting out to his as
sistant to "sling that ink at em again,
and put in something strong about
board bills" he rolled over into the old
familiar corner where he has slept off
the effects of many debauch, and
his notwithstanding horse blanket
under his chin, and sprinkling fresh
supply of carbolic acid about his per-
son, left him to his slumbers.

vasquex.

The Express last evening made the
following statement in reference to
this notorious bandit:
con Monday the bill authorizing
the Governor to offer reward of $751;
600 for the capture of the Nasquez
gang was reported by the Committee
on Public Expenditures, and was
placed on its final passage and passed"
If the Express had read yesterday
mornings HERALD it would have
learned that the bill authorizing a
reward for Vasquez, which was intro
duced on Monday was found to be de-
fective, and was referred to the Com
mittee on Public Expenditures, with
instructions to report the next day.
The Committee on Tuesday reported a
substitute for this bill which was i'm
mediately passed. The text of the
bill will be found in our synopsis of
Legislative proceedings, on the first
page.

by the presence Of members who are
utterly ignorant of English. Much
valuable time is taken up in explain
ing to them through an interpreter,
what is being done, and even then they
often vote contrary to their wishes,
from inability tounderstand the pro-
ceedings.
This is one of the considerations
that have induced us to favor the
election of the Council on general
ticket, and while it is possible to so
district the city, as for the present, to
give proper representation to both
property and population, we are still
inclined to the belief that more sat-
isfactory body of Legislators will be
chosen, when the entire voting popu-
lation Of the city participates in their
election We wish no one to infer
from this that the HERALD counte-
nances the narrow prejudices that
would exclude any one from Office on
account of nationality. On the con-
trary we cannot tolerate anything APP
preaching to class prescription, and
shall always uphold the rights of all
citizens alike. We only ask that every
one offering himself as a candidate for
the suffrages of the people, or solicit
ing an appointment at their hands,
shall fit himself for such position, by
by becoming acquainted with the
laws, and the language in which they
a rp written.

The Water Question.

The full development of the lands
around Los Angeles that are adapted
to the growth of the semi-tropical
fruits, is of even more present import
anee than our railroad system. These
lands cannot be made productive with
out supply of water that can be re-
lied on. With the present wasteful
and slovenly system only small por-
tion of these lands are supplied, and
even this supply is furnished in way
that makes the use troublesome and
expensive.
The water that we now have ought
to be made to go much further than it Is.
The bulk of our cultivators are using
too much water. We should have a
better quality of fruit by irrigating
less. The sourness of many of our or
anges is caused by the excess of water,
and our grapes, in many instances are
deteriorated by the same cause.
By system of reservoirs which will
save all the water, and Of bitches that
will properly distribute it, an area of
land may be successfully devoted to
the culture of semi-tropical fruits, in
itself sufficient to sustain much large
population than We now have.
Our celebrity abroad depends mainly
on two considerations; our salubrious
and heathful climate, and the extra
ordinary profits of fruit-raising. The
first cannot be improved. 1t is incom-
parable, but in the latter there is not
only room for extension, but it can be
greatly improved, and the first care of
the city should be to lay the ground
work ola system that shall not only
utilize every dropof the supply, but
that shall be permanent. The origi-
nal cost may be large, but when meas
ured by the immense results that must
flow from it, and the fact that it is
work for all time, the necessary outlay
sinks into insignificance.
What is first needed is a thorough
survey by competent engineers. With
the data thus obtained a definite plan
can be adopted, and an estimate made
of the cost. We can look about for
the means to carry our plans into eff
feet. There will be no difficulty in get
ting the necessary legislation to ena-
BILE the city to carry out this important
improvement. But we must know
first what we want.
