Death Of Jesse D. Bright.

JESSE ID. BRIGHT, man of national
fame, died at Baltimore few days
ago. He was native of Norwich,
Shenango county, New York, where
he was born on the 18th of December,
1912. His public life commenced in
the State of Indiana, where he prac-
ticed law and was State Senator and
Lieutenant Governor. The State in
his day was strongly Democratic and
being an ardent supporter Of that par
ty's principles his talent and oratory
soon made him leader. He repre-
sented the State in the United States
Senate three terms, commencing in
1S45. In 1852 charges of disloyalty
were preferred against him, based on
the evidence that in 1851 he wrote a
letter to JEFFERSON DAVIS, President
of the Confederate States, recommend
ing or introducing person who was
desirous of furnishing the Confederacy
with arms. On this charge he was
expelled from the Senate on the I'd of
February, 1862, by vote of "a to IA.
From that time he took no active part
in politics.

Fire Where There is Smoke.

Every now and then one of San
Francisco's blackmailing newspapers
will make an attack on one of her
many prominent citizens who have
millions of money, and forthwith all
the other newspapers, not many of
whom are whit more honest but
who do not happen to be in with that
particular attempt to extract hush
money, rush to the rescue and de-
nounce the attacking journal as an in-
famous blackmailing concern that has
sunk so low that it does not scruple to
blacken the character of honest men.
Now we do not question the truth of
any part of this except the "honest
menu clause. An honest man with a
large bank account who stands among
the king-pins of the community is a
difficult subject to blackmail, Con-
scious of his own rectitude, he has
nothing to fear from the ISLANDERS of a
newspaper, and TO It's insinua tions that
he has swindled widow or robbed an
orphan, he simply points to his record.
In community whose leading citi-
zens are composed entirely of honest
men, blackmailing newspapers are not
success. Their attacks do not bring
the longed for check, they die out and
the honest man smiles over the grave
of his calumniator. San Francisco
does not seem to be entirely made up
Of honest men, and, if we can believe
their statements of each other, fully
one-half of her newspapers owe their
existence to successful blackmailing.
If those prominent citizens were really
honest men, attacks would not hurt
and vehement defense would be unne-
cessary. Better still, those blackmail-
ing journals would find themselves in
the position of the Moor after he
smothered his wife.

borders are the property of the State,
is so strong that it cannot be contro-
verted. Spain reserved this right
and ceded it with the territory. 1t
passed with California in the transfer
of that territory from Mexico to the
United States. The only intrench-
ment on this law which the records
will bear out is the Pueblo right which
the Mexican Government in few
instances granted, of which the right
of Los Angeles city to the water of
Los Angeles river is one. If, then, the
State asserts and maintains her ex-
elusive ownership to the waters of all
her lakes and rivers, the first and
most important step toward the in
auguration of State system of irrf-
CATION is accomplished. The next is
the placing of the entire management
of the work in the hands of the Sur
veyor- General, who will survey and
superintend the digging of bitches
where the waters they shall convey
Will be most productive of desirable
results. After the formation Of dis
tricts, the people will elect officers,
who, under the direction of the State
Surveyor, will keep in repair the
bitches and dispose of the water If
we follow out this idea in detail, it
will not be difficult to show that all
this can be accomplished without the
issuance of bonds, and that while so
utilizing her water, she will annually
add millions to her products. Even if
there is no revenue from this source,
the return in the increased value of
taxable property Will more than pay
the expense of completing the sys-

WHO wrote the poetry entitled
First Love- the first line of which
reads, "Whom first We love, you know,
we seldom wedn I? We had the inn
preston that it was the production of
"OwEN MEREDITH BULwER's son;
but we notice the lines reproduced in
late number of the CAL and credited
to JULIA WARD HOWE. Whom first
we loved we remember very well.
She was little freckled-faced, golden
haired elf to whom we used to give
half of our dinner and all of our
speckled marbles at school some years
ago. She expanded to one hundred
and forty pounds, developed retrousse
nose and married railroad conductor.
But who wrote "Whom first we loven
is what is troubling us just now.

A Sensible Suggestion.

The question of irrigation comprises
not only how we can best utilize the
waters of our rivers, but to utilize it,
will ultimately become the absorbing
topic of discussion throughout the
State. This year there is more said
on the subject than ever before, and
next year more will be said than this.
So We shall go on talking and suggest
ing, realizing more and more year by
year the absolute necessity for doing
what we all want to do and what we
are all trying to think how to do, un-
til some practical plan is hit upon and
then will come the consummation SO
devoutly wished. Among the multi
farious plans and suggestions already
offered, we regard that of our cores
pondent, ~. G. d." whose commu-
nication appeared some days ago, as
possessing more of the elements of
practicability and better calculated to
insure the greatest good to the great
est number, than any other. The
great danger to be guarded against Is
that of preventing the monopolization
of the water by private corporations.
If the ownership of our lakes and riv-
ers is once vested in individuals, the
foundation is laid on which to build
the castle of discrimination and op-
preston. If a company or corpora
tion own the waters of an irrigation
district, they hold power over the
soil tillers of that district which may
be used for purposes of extortion, po-
litical supremacy or the qualification
of personal animosity. The individ-
ual absorption of water rights which
belong to the State, now steadily 60
ing forward, cannot but be productive
of great wrong to posterity and we
regard it as much the duty of our
State authorities to protect these
rights as it Is to collect the revenue
for the maintenance of the State Gov
ernment. The position of ~. q. d."

Timely Warning.

The sanitary advantages or Los An
geles have been proverbial throughout
the State. Everywhere they once
spoke of this city as healthful place.
We would be glad to record that the
facts would sustain this reputation
now and in future, but We are afraid
we cannot do so. Nature has done
everything for us, and did we but avail
ourselves of onr natural advantages
our sanitary condition would remain
as in the past best in California.
The want Of sewerage is impairing the
health of the whole city, and unless
the evil is remedied it will not be long
before miasmic fevers and endemic
diseases will be as common in Los An
geles as in Sacramento and other not
thoroughly drained cities. Los Ange-
les is a city grewn from an old Span
ish town. Its sewerage, though with
out plan or system, was sufficient for
all practical purposes while the popu-
lation did lset exceed few thousand,
but now that we have a city of fifteen
thousand and are growing rapidly,
the old drains and bitches are not
equal to the demand upon them, and
the result is cesspools and foul blots
in such number that in any other eli
mate than this an epidemic would
sweep the city. Sickness, especially
among children, is becoming common
and parents are growing anxious ior
the safety of their little ones. There is
no doubt but that the greater portion
of the sickness prevailing in this city
is due to imperfect sewerage. When
in San Francisco a few weeks ago, the
editor of the HERALD heard a gentle
man who had spent several weeks in
this city and who had visited us for
the purpose of making his home here,
assert that Los Angeles was the poor
est drained city he had ever seen, and
he believed that but for the sea breeze
which famed it daily no one could live
there. This is strong Indictment,
and the worst of it is it contains too
much truth. This city is expanding
'rapidly-mOre rapidly than any other
place in the State outside of San
Francisco-and we talk of having from
10000 to $4,000 people here within the
next few years. Such statements as
above quoted will not aid us in the
acquisition of that population and
unless We do something to controvert
such statements, we have attained the
maximum of our growth. What that
something should be is the point to
be reached. In the opinion of our
best engineers and of many citizens
who have given the subject much
study, the first step toward the estab-
lishment of an adequate system of
sewerage is the construction of main
sewer from the city to tide water.
How this may be done best and cheap
est is subject matter for the considera-
tiOn of all. That we shall have to
build such sewer sooner or later is
as certain as the sun shines. We are
now expending large sum of money
in putting down sewers here and there,
but they run nowhere and will never
drain the city until main sewer is
provided with which to connect all
side drains. We may as well meet
this difficulty now. 1t must be met
and overcome or we shall suffer at
home and the fair fame of our city
will be tarnished abroad.

One of the finest improvements in
the city will be the rebuilding of the
Lafayette Hotel. The whole of the
back of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others, such as cottons, table,
linen, etc., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-
vince themselves Of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never
get again, and in order to prevent a
