Lost through Bad Management.

1t is now announced officially, that
none OF the passengers baggage on
the Ventura will be saved. This will
strike severe blow to many who had
great portion Of all their worldly
goods on the ill-fated steamer, and
more so, as many of them consider
that the loss need not have been sus-
tanned, if proper efforts had been put
forth to save the baggage at the out
start. According to our account ofthe
disaster, published last Sunday morn
ing, no attempt was made to secure
any of the effects from the steamer
during the night Of the Goth, or the
following day. Mr.. VIM. F. Kellett,
one of the unfortunate passengers,
called at our Office yesterday, and
stated that, on the morning of the
21st, two hours were wasted in an at
tempt to rig tackle for the transfer
OF provisions to the shore, and after
this had been abandoned. a boat was
sent out and brought the edibles to
land in a few minutes. There seemed
to be no system, no intelligent man.
agement of affairs, and no consider
able effort put forth, either for the ac-
comodation OF the passengers or the
rescuing of their goods, or other val
uables, on board the wreck.

The Would. be Suicide.

Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock
Harry Myers, the wouldbe suicide,
escaped from his room, In the rather
primitive costume of Adam before the
fall, and made flying trip through
the streets. During his progress he
was followed by an enthusiastic audi
ence of admiring citizens, and was
finally given pass on an express
wagon to the Jail. He made himself
at home by Immediately seizing a
paddock bar and clearing ihe room of
all spectators, but was afterwards per-
suaded to re-assume the masculine
toggery which he had temporarily
abandoned. He Is now more composed
and less likely to tear himself away
on such short notice.

Translated for the HERALD from La Cronical
Last Saturday at Z P. NJ. were united
in the holy bonds of matrimony, Don
Juvencio Valenzuela and Miss Mar
garita Reyes, both of this city.
Not single death has been regis
tered on the books of the Catholic
Church of this city during the past
week and but one marriage and six
baptisms.
Mr.. James Kays has lately been con-
fined to his room, suffering an attack
of the measles. We are happy to
learn of his convalescence and hope to
see him soon attending to his duties.
Death, the relentless leveler of all
things, on the 18th of this month, Wis
tied Anaheim and left desolate the
home of Don Pedro Blanco and Doffa
Manuela Garfas, taking away their
son Peter.
Two Catholic priests left this city a
few days ago for San Bernardino to
assist in the ceremony Of removing
the remains of Mr.. Eneas Quinn from
the cemetery to the monument just
finished near the church. The widow
of Mr.. Quinn provided the funds for
the erection of the church.

There is hardly day that we do not

from this favored part Of Los Angeles

Thirty-nine lots are still to be dis

Considering the location and general

The Wealth Of Alaska.

In the purchase of Alaska the Gov
ernment obtained bonanza, so far as
seal fishing and coal mining are con-
cerned, but its wealth is controlled by
the Alaska Commercial Company, In
stead of being open to the people. The
Pacific coast is largely interested in
the development Of the Russian Pc
ninsula and desires that the special
privileges accorded to the monopoly
known as the Commercial Company,
be revoked. The Industrial interests
of California should move in the mat
ter and agitate this question on behalf
of the people. We gladly publish the
following proceedings:
At a regular meeting of Compton
Grange, held April 10th, 1875, the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions were
passed:
WHEREAS, The Government of the
United States has acquired the Terri
tory of Alaska as the common prop
erty of the whole people and paid for
the same out of the common treasury
and
WHEREAS, 1t is the right and for
the interest OF the whole people of the
United States that they should have
free access to every part of the public
domain as a legitimate field for the
exercise Of their skill and enterprise;
and U sfs
WHEREAS, We are informed and
believe that said territory abounds in
natural wealth, such as is especially
essential to the building up of great
commerce on the Pacific slope; and
WHEREAS, We, as citizens of Cali
for,ia, are especially interested in the
development of the seal, cod and sal
mon fisheries and the coal and timber
wealth of said territory; and
WHEREAS, Our Government utterly
disregarded our said rights as citizens
of the United States, and especially
ignoring our interests as citizens of
California, has created a monopoly Of
the seal fisheries Of certain islands ad-
jacent to and forming part Of said
territory by leasing the same for
term of years to a private corporation
by the terms of which lease all persons
are practically excluded from said ter
ritory; and
WHEREAS, The inhabitants of said
islands and the mainland of Alaska
have represented to the Government
and the people of the United States
that they are practically reduced to a
state of fabject slavery by the employees
of said private corporation and the
United States officials resident among
them; therefore,
RESOLVED, That the leasing of the
islands of St. George and st. Paul, and
the consequent control of Alaska, to
the Alaska Commercial Company is
high handed outrage, violation of
the rights of every American citizen
and especially injurious to the Pacific
slope.
RESOLVED, That the degrading bond
age to which the Inhabitants of said
islands and territory have been re-
duced, is q disgrace to the American
people. : 1e-

The Brewing Business.

At the Brewers Congress, held las
week in Cincinnati, statistics were pro-
duced showing an extraordinary de-
crease in the number of breweries dur :
ing the fiscal year ending June, 1874
A reduction was shown OF 154 out of
500 in Pennsylvania; of 134 out of
902 in Michigan; Of 68 out of 296 10
Ohio; Of 65 out Of l58 in Indiana; Of
81 out of 2l0 IN Illinois; of 38 out OF
$50 in Missouri; of 1872 out of 48l in
New York; of 9 out Of 40 In Massa-
chusetts, of9 out of "A in Maryland
of 81 out of 81 in New Jersey. of ID
out of So in Kentucky; of s out of 8 L
in Montana. Of Is out of IS in Kansas:
of % out Of l32 in Minnesota; of 81
out of Ia In Iowa, and Of 70 out of
$50 in Wisconsin. In the entire
country the decrease amounted to 724
in the number Of breweries. No Coz
responding decrease, however, is re-
ported in the amount of beer manu-
factured, the falling off being only 60
994 barrels. From 1863 to 1873 in
elusive the amount paid by brewers
into the Federal Treasury increased
from 81 ,628, 1888 to So, ,324, ,397. For
the fiscal year 1874 it was expected
that more than S10, 100000 would be
received from this source. The fact
is however, that the receipts, which in
1873 were So, ,304, ,679 92,-not very
large difference, it is true, but still
showing some decrease in the business,
During the same period there was alse
decrease of 30, 1914 barrels Of matt
liquor brewed.

BANK RoBBERY.-INDIANAPoLIs,
Ind, June l5-The Central Bank of
this city, owned by Ridenam, Cones 4
Co., was robbed this evening of ST.
900. The circumstances are as fol-
lows: Three accomplices, two men
and woman, after having registered
at the Bates, drove to the bank while
only two clerks were in the Office. One
clerk went outside to wait on the wom-
an, while the other was engaged by the
second accomplice, leaving the third
free to make raid on the safe. The
plan was we'll formed and successfully
carried into effect, but the thieves
spoiled their game by leaving immedi-
ately on Western-bound train. Dis
patches announcing the capture of the
entire party have been received from
Lafayette, though their correct names
are not yet known.

The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported long platform, which contains
the foil owing points:
We recognize the existence of Al
mighty God.
History teaches that corrupt politi-
cal parties are never reformed. In

difference of political opinion is a prac-
tice opposed to sound policy.
That we favor the adoption of every
measure compatible with justice to ap-
preclate the currency to g gold stand
ard, advocate cheap transportation asd
the abolition of liquors.
1t was resolved that it is the duty Of
all good citizens to give moral and DO

We come with bowed uncovered heads,
With hearts that proudly burn,
And hang our humble wreath of song
On their world-honored urn.
50 every age its own great need discloses,
So every age cries out for some new Moses.
Now, as OF old, life's heavy burden presses,
And thought has still its untrod wildernesses
The world sweeps on. ALI art, all nature
proves
Him right, in every sense, who said, G 1t
moves, it movesu
A Saxon king of a long vanished time
| cannot give his name, it would not rhyme
Said to the sea Oh, sea bid you bring
Your waves no farther, 10 am the king.
1t was a daring, reckless thing we say
The vain king has his followers to-day.
Who, fearing lest some good be washed
away,
Cnng to the landmarks on the outworn track,
And try to beat the waves of progress back
But now as then, It's all in vain, both seas
Obey life's wise immutable DEGREES.
Can ye not learn. Oh ye of little faith,
All good is one with God and knows not
death.
Read we the living lesson DER and o'er,
Truth lives, and reigns and conquers ever
more.
But well we know he must be brave,
Who teaches courage, he must have
Who would bestow and he must see
With clearest vision, who would be
A leader and guide no fear
Must e'er disturb the pioneer
Of thought, and if the thick clouds hide
The sun o little while,
Beyond he sees its smile,
A pd he,rarpa horc that tbo hoo ro ido
They say that on the waves of air,
Our words throb to and fro, that round
And round Us wander everywhere.
The strange undying ghosts of sound
Give to the world single thought,
Strong, brave and true, conscious part
Of your own soul, the ripened fruit
Of welded brain and heart
And lo song to cheer some night,
A balm some wounded heart to bind,
A magic key that shall unlock
The riches of some fettered mind
Time, the great cleaner, gathers all
The scattered fragments, in sheaf
He binds them, and the harvest proves
The sower's unbelief
If sometimes wearied by the way,
To our discouraged hearts we say,
There is no good, and naught abides
Our slender life unnoted gIides
Into the broadening channels of the past,
Earth is too poor to give aught that shall last
When our treasures prove dross,
And our winnings but loss,
When our wish and our thought
Shame the work we have wrought
Shall we falter! not so;
Rather say as we go,
In the purpose and plan,
Shines the soul of the man.
In the longings so like unto pa
Do we find our reward and on IN.
Bend down, oh, heaven, an leak LIES
i narrow bars,
Climb soul and claim thy kinds Q with the
stars. ~
For 10 / see a city that is set upon hill,
Through all her gates and palaces l hear
this message thrill
"Who knocketh he may enter, who asks
he shall obtain,
And he who seeketh fndeth, }" the meaning is
so plain,
Who runs may read, the golden gates of
knowledge open wide
To earnest, patient seekers, and sweetly side
by side,
Beauty and Truth, twin-sisters, with win
ming aspect stand
And ask the soul to enter in and occupy the
land.

The Truth Coming Out.

Save perhaps eX-AttOrney General Williams, no officer of the government has been more viciously assailed than Hon. C. Delano, Secretary of the In terior Under the laws, he passes upon the title to more property and probably as much value in claims, as does the Supreme court of the United States, and it is not to be wondered that a pack of scoundrels and rascally jour- nals, are led to make the most false and shameful attacks upon him. AL though appeals from a number of his decisions made when Commissioner of internal revenue, and we believe from some of his as Secretary of the Inte- rior, have been taken to the Supreme Court of the United States, none of his rulings have been annulled or reversed by the court. This is very high con- pliment to the wisdom, fairness and legal learning of Secretary Delano, and hence the scoundrels concentrate a war on him, for he stands between them and the Treasury. A Washington dis patch of July 20, says in this connec- tion:
 It has transpired that certain parties whose claims have been rejected by Secretary DelanO, are among those who organized and have persisted in the recent attacks upon him through the medium of the press, with the design of driving the Secretary from the Cabinet and securing a successor who would be more favorable To their interests.
