A Grand Hotel.

Some months ago the HERALD
mentioned the fact that Los Angeles
need a large hotel-a grand central es-
tablishment; hotel for invalids, at
which first-class accommodations
would be furnished to all who applied
fort them. We then made somesugges-
tions which may be worthy the con-
sideration of the gentlemen who now
contemplate the erection of such a
building. Los Angeles is becoming
the Mecca of invalids, and sick people
want comforts somewhat different
from the ordinary hotel accommoda-
tions. The great hotel should be con-
structed with special reference to this
fact. 1t should have an elevated site
the hill just West Of the High
School building would be a beautiful
lOcation-its rooms should be large and
airy, with all the modern hotel inn
provements, not forgetting that great
blessing to the weak-limbed-the ele-
'"Uoi. Aiter the complete building.
the next great feature should be the
surroundings. If the grounds COM
prised five acres artistically Handicapped
and planted in trees and ornamental
shrubbery, with Summer-houses and
fiower-gardens, the city would have a
hotel as attractive as the climate of
our valley is desirable to the thousands
of health and pleasure-seekers who
make their homes with us during the
Winter season. The cost of such a
hotel and surroundings would be con-
siderable, but the number of visitors
is becoming SO great that there is no
reason to doubt that the investment
would prove financial success. Ger
tainly it would be very attractive
feature of the city.

rnANUISCO, March 22d.-Re-
ports received from the Northern part
OF the State indicate q general rain.
The weather here is cloudy and threat
ening.
Saturday evening Leopold Wander
veken and Professor Miller signed the
articles for wrestling match in the
Roman style for 81, 900 side. 1t will
come off Tuesday, April 18th, at the
Palace Ampitheatre.
In the matter of the reports recently
received from the East stating that
the necessities of the grasshopper suf-
ferers of Kansas and Nebraska had
been greatly exaggerated, the Omaha
Herald being quoted as authority for
the statement, Gen. Brisbin, now in
this city soliciting contributions of
grain for the sufferers, received to-day,
received telegram from the editor of
that paper disclaiming any intention
OF opposing the work of relief, but
stating that the article in the Herald
was simply in denunciation of impo-
sltions practiced and of statements
published that the people for whom
aid is being soliciteda are still in state
of starvation, such condition of affairs
having been already alleviated by the
exertions of the military authorities
and contributions from other States
The telegram endorses the action of
Gen. Brisben on this coast as neces-
sary and proper. Gen. Brisbin has
also received a telegram from General
Ord of Omaha confirming the dispatch
of the editor of the Herald. The work
of soliciting contributions is proceed
ing satisfactorily in this city, and a
general interest in the matter is being
awakened throughout the State. A
meeting of the Committees of the
Chamber of Commerce will be held
this afternoon, when progress will be
reported.

Caucus OF Democrasic senators.

WASHINGTON, March Goth. - The
Democratic Senators were in caucus
this morning, and in anticipation of
the action of the Republican majority
determined on the method of their
opposition. 1t was decided to raise
the point of order on the Louisiana
resolution and if overruled to interpose
sundry dilatory motions, and there
after to debate it to the fullest extent,
so long as any hope of defeating it
should remain. The estimates of the
extent to which the caucus will be
prolonged vary from one to three
weeks.
The Republican Senators agreed to
refrain from discussing the caucus
Louisiana resolution in the Senate,
and have also determined to vote
against any recess or adjournment,
except over Sunday, until a final vote
shall have been taken. This course
will in all probability insure termi-
nation of the session within the next
five or six days, and many think it
will close by Wednesday.

THE efforts of man to make land
where God placed water, is rapidly
destroying San Francisco bay. The
decrease of tidal area is already begin
ming to have its effect on the entrance
to the harbor, and it is feared that if
the filling-in process is continued it
will not De many years before it will
be difficult for large ships to cross the
bar. When the tide land marked on
the maps has been filled in, large pro-
portion perhaps one-fourth = of the
original area of the bay will have been
converted into dry land. Mission bay
is already mapped off in lots, and soon
blocks of buildings will stand where
the tide now ebbs and flows. In fact,
this is the case now of q considerable
portion of the once beautiful bay. The
deeper parts of the bay proper are
filling with mud which the tide fails
to sweep away. Every acre of land
made in the bay reduces the quantity
of water sweeping across the bar and
weakens the power of the tide over the
distractions to navigation.

SENATOR BOOTH has arrayed against
him that mighty power, the San Fran
cisco Post, and having done this he
may as well regard himself as a man
whose political and public life will
cease with the close of his present
term in the Senate. He voted against
the Sandwich Island reciprocity treaty
and for this the Post charges him with
being an ehemy to free trade and des-
titute of sympathy for the working
classos. We can but family imagine
the dependency which will settle
upon and perhaps crush our new Sem
ator when he finds that henceforth and
forever he must struggle onward
against the stupendous influence that
has now opened the flood-gates of its
wrath upon him.

The Black Hill Fever.

The Black Hill gold fever is rapidly
assuming the proportions of an cpl
demic, and unless people can be in
duced to stop and think, 1t is evident
we shall soon have a repetition of the
Gold Bluff excitement. Those of the
Pacific coast miners who are already
feeling an inclination to roll up their
blankets and start for what their fancy
pictures the new Ell Dorado, may save
themselves many weary days of toll
and disappointment by making haste
slowly about starting for the Black
Hills. Let us remove the glamour
which rumor and unauthentic story
have thrown around the latest gold
discovery, and look at the bare facts.
First, the Black Hill country belongs
to the Indians, and the Government is
in duty bound to protect the tribes
against the aggressions of the whites.
People who force themselves into the
Territory may be killed as tresspassers
by the Indians or wear a ball and
chain for months by way of punish
ment for violating Government
order. Then, is there any positive
evidence that gold in considerable
quantities has been found in the
Black Hills? We have not seen it.
1t is true that gold has been shown
which the possessors said was found
in that country, but it may have been
q mistake or wilful mistatement.
Nothing reliable is known of the
richness or extent of the mines. Is it
not possible that a great deal of the
Black Hill excitement is manufacture
ed by persons who would profit by the
rush, if not a dollars worth of gold
was found? The frontier traders and
storekeepers are perhaps the authors
of the unverified stories about mines
in the Black Hills. The rush will
bring a rich grist to their mills. You
who have slight attack Of the Black
Hill fever will do well to wait a little
longer before exposing yourselves to
the Indian rifle and Government in.

A Marked Improvement.

Not many years ago Los Angeles
did not enjoy very high reputation
for morality abroad. People were in.
clined to think of her as a place where
a great deal of fighting whisky was
drank and considerable rather good
Rlstsl gEsfGSsss iRaaSasEfa sEad lie hsws Raf Il
reformation has gone abroad. The
thousands of visitors who spend few
weeks with us go away pleased with
the moral character of Los Angeles,
and they speak of it and write about it
on returning to their old homes. AS
an evidence that our city is known as
a place where the law is obeyed and
morality prevails, we reproduce the
following from the Sacramento Rescue
of late date:
Los Angeles is blessed in having noble
Mayor, one who says what he means, means
with.
Almost all the words in his recent veto
against reducing the bonds of the saloonists,
should be most carefully pondered by tenn
perance people and others.
A pretty plea was introduced for reducing
saloonists' bonds on behalf of poor old men
who cannot work Better far let the State
support them in alms-houses than let them
become decoy-brds to lead their fellow-men
to destruction.
They cried "Revenuen The Mayor met
the plea nobly by saying the deficiency would
be more than compensated in the saving
made only in salary of policemen,
But one of his best positions was in choosing
that the welfare md Safnfy nf n mi ra
of far greater importance to the State than the
protection of saloonists for their purposes of
personal aggrandizement
Mayor Beaudry of Los Angeles is right. He
has acted and spoken nobly. We rejoice to
class his name with those others of worthy
Mayors who faithfully discharge their duties
have called them to positions of responsible
ity and honor. These are the men who belong
to earth's truest Legion of Honor. May their
numbers be greatly multiplied.

Strong Endorsement.

We clip the following notice of our
townsman and Superintendent of our
city schools, DIR. LUCKY, from the
Placer Herald of the Goth inst. From
our independent standpoint we cor
daily endorse the sentiments of our
cotemporary. No man in the State is
better qualified to discharge the duties
of Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion than DR.. LUCKY. His many
years of experience as a teacher--a
very successful teacher-has emf
nently fitted him for the high and re-
sponsible. position of experimenting
the schools of State. The Herald
says:
Rev. w. T. Lucky is the best man in the
whole State Of California for the important
office OF state superintendent of Public In
struction. We have the pleasure to know Dr.
Lucky personally, and we know him, as well
as one man can Know the characteristics of
another, to be dignified christian gentle.
man, possessing thorough education and
life of experience in the common schools and
colleges of this country, and particularly
versed in the wants and requirements of the
schools anu Jub SCHOOL system OF tnlS state.
More than onein stitution of learning in Cali
fornia owes its excellency to the wisdom of
DIR. Lucky when wisdom was needed. The
State Normal school never prospered as it did
when under his management, considering the
facilities at command. He is now Supern-
tendent of the city schools of Los Angeles,
and the public schools in that city are rated
second to none. A gentlemen prominently
connected with the schools in one of the
Eastern states, after returning home, wrote
back to one of the journals of this coast, and,
in speaking of Los Angeles, said: az am con-
vinced that Los Angeles does not begin to
a judge, / would regard them a highly fa
vored people In having the good fortune OF
such a principle. AS the leader is, so will
key. DIR. Lucky is a model leader, and if
placed at the head Of our school system, IL
would, drawing inspiration in every depart
ment from his wise instruction, soon be
model, too.

CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.

THE Star says the editor of the
HERALD made great efforts to induce
parties to stake him to start another
paper. This is.false No man in this
city or county can truthfully say that
the editor of the HERALD ever asked
him for cent to start another paper,
and unless the editor of the Star can
produce his authority for the state
ment he has made, he stands con-
victed of adding another to the string
of falsehoods he has deliberately and
