PACIFIC COAST.
ANOTHER PACIFIC RAILROAD.
I SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4.-Yesterday
the Board of Directors of the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company passed
resolutions that they would build the
Southern Overland Railroad from the
Pacific Coast to q connecting point
East for the land subsidy voted by
Congress to the Texas Pacific Road.
Copies of these resolutions have been
forwarded to Congress and of course
the proposition will be accepted. This
secures the early completion of the
Southern Overland Road and at once
and finally kills the Tom Scott subsi-
dy bill. Twenty-Five miles more of
steel rails for the Southern Pacific
Road are afloat between this city and
San Pedro. J. M. b.

The Election.

On Monday the people of this city
will elect their school Trustees and
members of the City Council. Only
half of each Board are to be elected,
but those holding the balance of pow
er will control the public interest of
the city for one year. There is but
little said about the election in public
and we fear the people are not sufii-
ciently alive to the importance of this
election. Every citizen in Los Ange-
les has much more at stake in this
election than they had i'll the Fall elec-
ton, over which they made SO much
fuss. Our public schools, through the
effort of the old Board of Trustees and
teachers, have been brought up to q
high standard, and our city is justly
proud of the position we occupy in our
educational facilities. From what we
can gather we are inclined to think
that they are superior to any in the
State. We owe a debt of gratitude to
those who have had the control of the
public schools in this city, and IN to-
ken of our gratitude every voter should
be careful on Monday to cast his vote
for none but those candidates who are
in full sympathy with our public school
system. If men should be elected TO
fill the Board who are disposed to cut
down the salary of teachers, object to
building school houses, and do every
thing grudgingly, the glory of our city
will begin to wane. There are class
of men who always believe the cheap
est article is the best. We have no
quarrel to make with such men, but
we do not want any cheap school
teachers, neither do we want any jars
or schism in our School Board so let
every man see to it, that men of pub
lie spirit are elected to that office. We
do not want foolishly extravagant men
in either Board, neither do we want
any old fogies, but live, active consid-
crate men. These remarks were sug-
gested by hearing the remark made
that our public schools were of such u
character that they were destroying
the private school interest of this city.
This is Just what We want. We want
every poor child in the city to have an
equal chance with the ricblman's ch Id.
We hope to live to see the day when
every child raised in Los Angeles shall
have O good business education, and
we say it to the credit OF the citizens
that they have made q noble start.
Let us keep it up by electing the best
men.

HOME is the sweetest word i'm the
English language and should he the
earthly type of heaven. The ideal
earthly home may exist in the hum
BILE cottage as well as the palatial
mansion, this earthly home being Gre
ated and consecrated by the influences
of love. The ship-wrecked sailor and
the wretched wanderer only dream of
home and when all earthly hope has
fled they can only welcome heaven as
u contrast to the miseries of this earth
Make home the sanctuary and all its
associations will be holy and its happi-
ness will only be exceeded by paradise.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-12-05

SOME of our property owners desire
the Legislature to pass law to pre-
vent irresponsible parties from COM
mencIng harrassing suits for the dis
turbance of titles. We understand
that certain parties make it a business
to hunt up any remote descendant of
Ponce de Leon, Columbus or other
early settlers, and lay claim to few
leagues of land owned by some wealthy
citizen. These suits always result in
heavy court costs, which of course the
plaintiff cannot pay, puts the defend
ant to the expense of employing attor-
neys, and in the end it is generally
shown that the claimant had not the
shadow of title. The Legislature, it
seems to us, might pass a law to put
the bar of outlawry on some of these
Rip Van Wrinkle claims.
