then to be cast aside, condemned and
treated with disdain at the North
this cuts tho Union soldiers TO the
heart.
To talk of forgetting such war is
sheer nonsense. II cannot aud ought
not to be forgotten. And when men
talk Of banishing il from our politics,
We look at the roll Of only twenty .six
Union soldiers elected to the next
Congress and that Of eighty-six con-
federates. Is that what the Liberals
and Democrats mean by banishing the
war from our politics? If 80, what
an encouragement this is to future pa
triotism. We simply submit tho quos-
tion to men of common sense, can this
Republic afford to pursue such
policy2 In NO former war did men
ever volunteer in such vast numbers
a. In this. The armies of all proceed
ing wars were small.
But in this war they were tremen-
dons because the northern heart was
in II. In no sense are these northern
people warlike or aggressive. They
prefer peace to such an extent that the
south presumed they would not fight
at all. Is 1t necessary that the north
shall be made ashamed of its lofty
patriotism? These are questions for
statesmen to ponder over, for reflect
ing citizens to think OF. We need not
be forever raking up the memories Of
the war, nor need we be ashamed of
them. Aud as for throwing such .
halo Of glory around the confederate
soldiers, to us it seems that it cannot
fail to produce mischief.

/" Los Angeles FIeas." I"

A recent number of the San Fran
cisco Bohemian has an article headed
Los Angeles Fleas," in which, after
saying that he is weary of hearing the
praises of Los Angeles, its orange
groves, walnut trees and tropical eli
mate, pitchforked upon the reading
public, our friend DAN. O'CoNNELL pro-
ceeds to state that the great drawback
to Los Angeles is its fieas. Now we
doubt If DAN ever was in Los Angeles.
He is rich and owns large amount of
land in Monterey county, and we re-
member that about year ago he went
down to his place, resolved to devote
the remainder of piously spent life
in the pastoral pursuits of herding
sheep, fishing and writing poetry; but
few weeks experience convinced him
that he had made a mistake. He
could not keep within sight of the
LATEST of the flock; the fish would not
come to his bedside and nibble, and
he found himself unable to jingle
rhyme without the divine infiatus
which BARRY & PATTON dispense
across the counter So DAN returned
to San Francisco, started the Bohe-
milan, and wrote philippe on Los
Angeles fleas. How any man living
in San Francisco-the Mecca of fleas;
the paradise of all the tribes of fieas
that ever were created; the sand-hill
Elysium of all big fleas, little fleas,
lively fieas, lazy fleas, lean fleas and
fat feas, that ever set the world
scratching-is something like the love
of God. Be it known that there are
no fleas in Los Angeles, except an oc-
casional one brought down in the
clothing of the thousands of people
who are compelled to flee from the
millions of blood-thirsty fieas of San
Francisco.

1T is probable that if Congress votes
a subsidy to the Texas Pacific Rail-
road, one of the conditions on which
the aid is given will be that Colonel
SCOTT shall commence work. on both

this necessary condition is incorpor-

Petroleum c. S.

The more we examine the LUCE
process for manufacturing gas from
crude petroleum, the stronger becomes
our belief that the patent is an excel
lent one and destined to reduce the
cost of gas to at least one-half the
price now paid for it. The town OF
Santa Clara has been using the new
gas for some time-sufficiently long to
satisfy all that it is superior as an
illuminator and considerably cheaper
than the standard coal gas. The COM
pany have erected works in San Jose,
and at recent trial of coal and petro-
leum gas, made before the Mayor and
Common Council of that city, the
universal verdict was in favor of pc
trolium gas, which, it was claimed,
gave not only stronger, but clearer,
softer and more steady light than that
of standard coal gas. 1t was also
found that petroleum gas would give
light through three-foot burner
equal in every respect to that afforded
by coal gas through five-foot burner.
At the same cost per thousand feet,
here is saving of two-fifths to the
consumer. But there are other and
more important gains. AT the pres
ent high cost of transportation, the
company here assert that they cannot
manufacture standard coal gas for less
than seven dollars and fifty cents per
thousand feet. The patentees of the
petroleum gas have submitted prop
osition to the Common Council of this
city to erect, at a selected point, a gas
machine, to make fifteen thousand feet
of gas per day, to cost not to exceed
one dollar and fifty cents per thousand
feet, to be paid for the same three
thousand dollars, when the same is
found to work all right. If, after trial,
the gas does not prove satisfactory, the
contractors agree to remove the works
without cost to the city. The perfectly
safe plan to the city on which the
contractors agree to work is strong
| presumptive evidence that they have
no fears of failure to give satisfac-
ton. If, as it is claimed, petroleum
gas can be manufactured for one dollar
and half per thousand and three feet
will equal five of coal gas, it will be
seen that the city can furnish con-
sumers with gas at five dollars per
thousand, which will reduce the cost
to them to one-half what it now costs
and yet realize handsome revenue
from hergas works. The San Fernando
oil mines will supply all the crude
petroleum needed at a trifling cost.
The process by which this gas is made
| is much the same as that used in the
manufacture of coal gas, except that
in the cleansing common water is used
in place of lime. The patent is on the
retort.

A GENTLEMAN who does a great de

A GENTLEMAN who does great deal
of figuring informs the HERALD by
letter, he is able to show that Los An
geles and San Bernardino counties
alone will save three hundred thous-
and dollars on freight the first year
after the Los Angeles and Independ-
ence Railroad is built thirty miles out
from TruXton. We have no doubt of
the correctness of this statement:
figures won't lie, they say. If we can
save that amount of freight the first
year we can save double that sum the
second year, because the freight will
more than double when the road is
built. We will save half a million
annually on the products of the valley,
and in fact in few years we will save
more than the total cost of the whole
road,
