within week, | know of a family
offering five cents per pound for new
potatoes without getting them. When
asking for four bits worth of peas,
were told by John, mo give him. you
had him yesterday" Is it difficult to
compete in an open market with such
trading as that? The people of this
city do not love John so much that
they had rather trade with him at the
same price than with white man or
woman. On the contrary, L have
heard ladies say they paid white men
more, even, to encourage them AT
present it is take 1t or leave it, as with
our house service. Any one who has
garden of their own knows
what crisp, cool melon, Gu
cumber or head of lettuce is when
picked in the early morning and kept
out of the sunshine. Can anything of
the kind be bought here of John? Can
Wilson's Albany, Triomphe de Gand,
or Horticulturist strawberries be had,
as other cities have them. The China
men never saw them, nor will so long
as we pay for what they are now rails
ing and there is no competition. Our
people are the most lavish in spending
their money if they can get good
thing OF any people in the world. Be-
cause they eat food that comes from
San Francisco or has been carried
round many days in an old cigar box
or tin coal oil can, is not that they
don't know better or would not pay for
good article, but because they cannot
help themselves. Cities of the Old
World no larger than this, with not
tenth the money TO spend for food,
have a daily market that is a pleasure
to see, a picture to rememter always.
1t is usually held in clean paved
street, surrounded by high buildings.
They are over at eleven in the morn
ing, the police sweeping the stones al
most before the last cart has left the
square. AT present our streets are not
adapted to market of that kind,
though an open air market under the
city's direction would be better than
none. Shade is required to keep vege-
tables from being almost worthless.
A light but not costly building in some
central part of the city is needed. 1t
would not be an expense to the city, as
a small tax would pay for it. Build it
and see if we cannot have q better
show of the good and beautiful things
of this fair land than now. / offer the
above crude suggestions, hoping others
may be interested in the object and
the fact accomplished. S.

A Conundrum for the Council.

The HERALD Publishing Company
are rather proud of the warm feeling
manifested toward them by their re-
spected and respectable friend in the
Common Council. He is a leader, and
if there is one thing for which we
have more profound respect than an
other, it is a leader. We accept the
town report that he is King of the
Council, and our admiration for kings
expands almost to the confines of
alteration. We adore kings because
he is beggarly autocrat indeed who
does not WELD some power, and power
is one of the shrines at which the world
bows down and worships. VAsQUEz
was greater than the rascal who
cringed at his frown and fawned for
his smile. Three fingered JACK tow
cred above the coward who was afraid
of him, land if NERO had not fiddled
while Rome burned it is a basket of
apples to a Councilman we had never
heard of the drunken old tyrant.
Power is great thing. All men re-
specc it. We once knew a man to
burn up fine suit of clothes out of
respect for the power of polecat.
Why should not the HERALD respect
the power of it's respected and respect
able friend in the Council? Every
body assures us he is the Sir Oracle of
that body and when he opes his lips
no Councilman, save WORKMAN, dare
bark. If, as everybody says, our re-
spected and respectable friend is the
one man eloquent, the presiding
genius, the Mikado, the Bashaw, the
man with the spear-point tail and the
three-pronged fork of the Common
Council, why, he is a man of power;
and we respect power, therefore we
respect him; yea, we more than respect
him, we regard him with the awe and
veneration that possesses the pagan
worshiper while prostrating himself
before his wooden-headed Josh. Feel
ing thus toward our respected and re-
spectacle friend, the King of the
Council, we with bated breath, down.
cast eyes, trembling limbs and hating
tongue beg to submit for his consider
alton and that of those statesmen who
are SO happy as to be ruled over by
him, the following easy little conun-
drum: For the compilation of a book
of "about" two hundred and fifty
pages the Council agrees to pay the
compiler $3.50, and for printing this
book of 'about" two hundred and fifty
pages the Common Council agrees to
pay the HERALD Publishing Company
about $3.50. The compiler, however,
only furnished matter for a book of
one hundred and seventy-five pages,
and the Common Council increases
his compensation to $3.50. Now In the
same ratio and on the same principle
of economy how much in excess Of
1880 should the Common Council pay
the HERALD Publishing Company for
printing the book of one hundred and
seventy-five pages?

SANTA BARBARA ITEMS.
From the News, May 9th. !

FROM the news, May zui.I
The construction of the new school
house in the upper end of town is
progressing rapidly. The weather.
boarding and paint are already going
on.
The street railroad will soon be un-
der way. Mr.. Frank Walker has gone
to San Francisco for material, and it
is intended to complete the work by
the lst of July.
A short time ago we announced the
arrival of gentleman who came with
the intention of establishing a soap
factory in Santa Barbara. He has
taken the old tannery which will be
fitted up for the purpose, and is going
into an extensive business. AS he is
a man of capital, there is no reason
why the entel prise should not be a
complete success.
We saw fine salmon trout that
measured sixteen inches in length,
which was caught from Stearns wharf.
We were not before aware that these
excellent fish visited these waters.
They afford fine sport for fishermen,
the most approved method for captur-
ing them being with trolling spoon.
1t wouldn't cost much to make rig
and try for them.

Railroad Faxes in Nevada.

RENO, May 28th.-Train No. 3, from the
West, has just arrive and been attached 1t
contains one engine and about thirty freight
cars. When the train arrived the yardmaster
tried to throw the switch open and run two
cars loaded with timber into the locomotives
tied up on the sde-traclS, but the Sheriff got
doing so. The people are considerably excited
over the matter. The railroad employees are
evidently trying to damage the property now
in the hands of the Washoe county officials.
A later dispatch announces that the matter
had been settled by the Company depositing
to the credit of Washoe county with the Anglo-
California bank the amount in full and the
Sheriff has released the property under at
tachment.
