The Cry Of Monopoly.

The cry of monopoly which the pa
pers in the employ of the ring are
yelling at Mr.. BEAUDRY is the old
subterfuge adopted by thieves of join
ing in the pursuit and shouting "Stop
thiefp We have no doubt but that
the ring wauld be pleased to turn at
tention from themselves by calling
Mr.. BEAUDRY n monopolist, but un-
fortunately for their purpose there is
nothing OH which to base their charge
against him, while the people have
abundant reason to remember the ring
managers as the most exacting and
oppressive of monopolists. Mr.. BEAU
DRY does not claim an exclusive right
to sell Los Angeles all of her water for
the next thirty years; he does not
claim and exercise the right, in direct
violation of the law, to fix the price
for water and collect it in advance; he
does not boast of his power and deter
mination to control the city whether
the people will or no. He does not
claim the right to compel person to
pay two dollars per month for two
barrels of water. He claims no mo-
nopoly of any kind. He obtained per-
mission to lay down water pipes to a
section Of the city to which the Water
Company refused to furnish water,
and he stands ready at any moment to
turn those pipes over to the company on
the payment of the cost and an agree
ment to continue the supply of water to
that locality. More than this, he is
willing that the company shall lay
down pipes by the side of his own and
furnish or give away water at every
point to which he has carried it. This
does not look like monopoly. He
has done much for the city. By his
individual enterprise and with his own
money he has largely increased her
taxable property, and rendered valua-
BILE large area Of land which the dog
in-the-manger policy of the Los An
geles Water Company caused to be
considered almost worthless. But the
monopoly will not take Mr.. BEAU
DRY'S water works off his hands at
cost, they will not supply the high
lands with water, and they boast that
if they succeed in electing their Mayor
and Councilmen they will place an in
junction on those water works, destroy
their usefulness and reduce to it's
former worthlessness the high lands.
This is what corporation is seeking
to do that now has it's hireling point
ing out Mr.. BEAUDRY and shouting
monopoly" The people cannot be
deceived by this trick. Its purpose
is too palpable, and the merciless and
grasping character of those who are
using it is too we'll known.

ENDORSEMENT OF THE
HON. j. ROSS BROWNE.
San FRANcIsco- Nouemher b

SAN FRANCISCO, November %, 1874.
WIN. II. MARTIN, General Agent California
Immigrant Union-Dear Sir:-I have just Wis.,
tied the "Centinela and Saucal Redonda"
Rancho, and driven over the land described in
your advertisement. With all my experience
in the southern part of California, have seen
nothing to surpass this tract in fertility of soil,
beauty Of location, and advantage OF easy ac-
cess and salubrity of climate. For purposes of
colonization, know of no large body of land
so near growing commercial centre, in Cali
fornia or elsewhere, TO equal it. No part of it
is unavailable for farms, orchards or home
steads. 1t can be subdivided into lots ranging
from five acres to several hunered acres and
every acre of 1t can be made productive. Water
Is abundant and convenient. The land is
subject to easy Irrigation; and / can vouch for
the fact that 1t will produce anything that
hourishes in Los Angeles or Santa Barbara
counties. 1t Is my confident opinion that the
value of shares in this magnificent tract will
be quadrupled within two years, such.is the
extraordinary influx of Immigration TO the
vicinity of Los Angeles at the present time.
Wishing you success In your undertaking,
am very truly yours,
j. ROSS BROWNE.

Semi-TropicaI Fruits.

There are few bearing orange and lime
trees upon the Centinela, and the fruit they
produce is of the largest and finest quality.
trees three years old, and LOO almond, lime
and lemon trees. The almond, lime and
lemon trees will bear fruit in 1875 The or
ange trees will bear in five years. There are
1000 three-year-old orange trees in the nur-
sery near the orchard. Fig, pepper and gum
trees grow without irrigation. The entire or
chard can be taken care of by three men with
six horses. The orchard will be kept undi-
vided by the company to save the expense OF
each shareholder having n few trees to take
about 10 trees in the orchard and about the
same number in the nursery. The almond
lime and lemon trees will yield an pmedi-
ate return. In five years each orange tree will
produce $40 per annum, or $500 per share for
those now planted. There are flowers in the
garden in bloom every day in the year.

A Warning to Voters.

We have received the following
timely communication, which it will
be well for all to read and ponder who
desire the future prosperity of our fair
city:
EDITOR HERALD: Nothing is clearer
to the minds of observing men than
that Mr.. Tiffany is kept in the field for
Mayor for the sole purpose of drawing
off votes from Mr.. Beaudry, in the
hope of electing Mr.. Sabiehi. Citi-
zens should remember that every vote
cast for Tiffany is vote for Sabichi.
This is the purpose for which the ring
keeps Mr.. Tiffany's name before the
people. Voters should not, and L do
not believe will, be deceiyed by this
trick of the ring. CITIZEN.
Los Angeles, Dec. 4, 1874.
The Developments of the last few days
indicate the correctness Of our cores
pondent's views. There is now no
doubt but that the willy old managers
who boast that they have and will run
the municipal government of this city
despite the wishes of the people, are
resolved to strain every nerve to elect
Mr.. SABICHI, the man whom the E:c-
press says is weak and not over scru-
pulous. There is now no question but
that Mr.. TIFFANY is induced to re-
main candidate through the infiu-
ence of the old ring; otherwise he
would not permit himself to be used
as means to secure votes for the man
ms own paper says is weak and not
over-scrupulous. The ring knows full
well that on an even fight between
Mr.. BEAUDRY and Mr.. SABIcHI they
would suffer Waterloo defeat, and
they feel that their only chance is to
divert votes from Mr.. BEAUDRY to
Mr.. TIFFANY. The friends of honest
government should not lose sight of
this fact when they go to the polls on
Monday. No matter what may be
their opinion of Mr.. TIFFANY, they
must not forget that he has no chance
of election-that he is only kept in
the field to aid the ring and that a
vote for him is vote for SABIcHI.

Express Robbers Arrested-RaIn.

SHASTA, December 2d.-Camson
alias John Harris, and French alias
Buster, two young men recently ar
rested in Tehama county on suspicion
of ofrobbing the stage of Wells, Fargo &
Company's treasure box here, on
the night of November 21st, arrived
here this morning in charge of Under
Sheriff Kennedy. They are now in
Jail awaiting examination. A man
while hunting horses to-day found the
letter bag belonging to Wells, Fargo
d Company, taken by the robbers.
About one-half of the letters had been
torn open. They were found in the
woods about one mile from where the
stage was robbed.
A steady rain commenced falling
at about 2 o'clock this afternoon,
which still continues.

IT is significant fact that though
they had boasted they had the votes
and could force the order granting
them the right to close up certain
streets on Fort Hill, the Water Com
pany did not attempt to use their
power in the Council at the meeting
Of that body on Thursday. They evil
IDENTIFY feared the effect of this mani
festation of their authority on their
candidates for Mayor and Councilmen,
and concluded to postpone their grab
until after the votes were cast.

Mark Twain as a Pedestrian.

The Boston Journal of November
14th says: The stupendous feat of
walking from Hartford to Boston, a
distance of 80 miles, was, as the public
are aware, really undertaken by the
adventurous Samuel l.. Clemens, bet
ter known as Mark Twain, and his
pastor, Rev. j. H. Twitchell. 1t has
long been the custom of these gentle
men to take walks of about ten miles
in the vicinity of Hartford, for the
purpose of enjoying a social chat and
exchanging views on nothing in par
ticular and everything in general; the
result of which, to use Mark Twain's
own words, is that Twitchell some
times gains ideas from his companion
which he embodies in his sermons,
and Mark Twain obtains information
from his pastor which he works up in
to comical and humorous stories, TAX
ing note of every joke which uncon-
sciously falls from the clerical lips.
Mark Twain says he and Twitchell
always returned to Hartford after
one of these jaunts, with the jaw
ache, but never foot-sore. To put an
end to these country walks the
"twain resolved to undertake the
trip to Boston and have enough tsjaW''
to last them through the Winter
months. Accordingly, they started
from Hartford at A. NJ. on Thursday,
intending to keep along the old turn
pike road and see the hamlets which
the railroads have avoided, and reach
Boston on Saturday. AT o'clock that
evening they found themselves at
Webster, having travelled % miles,
where they passed the night. Before
retiring they had consultation and
decided that as their undertaking
had developed into anything but
pleasure trip and had got to
be actually hard work, and as they
started purely for pleasure and had
promised Howells, editor of the AtIo,a-
tic, to dine at his House in Cambridge
on Monday evening, they concluded
to take the cars at the nearest point
and defer their pedestrian tour for a
year or so. Friday morning they
walked ten miles, drove seven miles
and reached New Boston Ct, where
they took the Hartford and Erie train,
arriving at Young's Hotel at 7P. NJ.
They subsequently proceeded to How
ellis and partook of his hospitality
ond returned to the hotel about mid
night.
Mark Twain wishes it distinctly un-
derstood that he has not made fail
ure, and would have continued his
trip had Twitchell not have been
under engagement to preach in New
ton on Sunday morning. Mark says
he wanted week to do the job COM
fortably, and is not anxious to take
Weston's laurels away, because he
considers that professional about as
good as he or Twitchell.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-12-05

1T is amusing to read the self-created
rumors of the Express that Mr.. TIF-
FANY is nota candidate for Mayor and
its vehement denial of those rumors.
Nobody expects Mr.. TIFFANY to with
draw from the canvass and everybody
knows that it is part of the rings
compact with the Express that he
shall remain a candidate. There is no
more danger of Mr.. TIFFANY with
drawing than there is of the Erpress
telling the truth.
