Editor HERALD: The saloon ques-
ton is settled. Don't shoot, David;
Til come down." and dos0n came the
coon. That is the situation, In brief.
Messrs. Davis & Bro. have bought of
Mr.. Goldstein, rented the building to
the people of Orange" and obligated
themselves not to encourage saloons
hereafter in this place. The saloon
building has been re-rented for the
comparatively harmless purposes of a
millinery establishment. One of our
citizens says, however, that ga new
meeting must be called at once; since,
now that our young men are saved,
they are determined to demOraliZe our
young ladies' Two more new build
ings are needed at once, as there We're
three direct applications for the rental
of the "saloon building OH Tuesday.
If the Messrs. Davis choose to build
them and rent them to the furniture
and real-estate men, nobody will OBJ
ject. In previous notice of
THIS SALOON QUESTION,
Your correspondent remarked that
Mr.. Goldstein twill certainly consult
his best interests by not coming'' and
that che had best mind his top eye."
Whether it was for this harmless bit
of slang we cannot tell, but the Ana
helm Gazette man waxed indignant
last week, and whipped the people oil
Orange with his straw switch, over
your correspondents shoulders. The
"top-eye" Of Messrs. Davis and Gold
stein is in their purse, and they have
concluded to "mind" it. Nobody an
ticipated violence" or "lawlessness,"
except the Gazette man and others Of
his ilk, who know no force except
physical force, and always raise that
cry when their pets are attacked. But
would not the honest course have been
for the Gazette man to quote your cor
respondent notes, or part of them,
at least, before garbling their mean
ing? Would 1t not have been honest
for him to tell the fact, that the reso-
lutions were backed by the signatures
of one hundred and seventy-three citi-
zens of Orange? After the Gazette
man "gets himself into a very
great state o. admiration" at the dig
nified and law-abiding character of the
citizens of Orange, he pens this beau
tiful sentiment: We advise them to
muzzle this incipient journalist-nip
his literary career in the bud" 30,
what
A LOVELY METAPHOR!
Such as we never met aforev' To be
"muzzled" is bad enough, but to be
"nipped' also is too much. Still, 1t
might have been expected. The Ga
zette man always means business. and
when he induces the people of Orange
to carry out his little scheme, we'll
submit. At present, however, we are
"nipped'' but slightly, and "muzzled"
not at all. Mr.. Editor, secret: Some
one has been telling the Gazette man
how fast the HERALD subscription list
Is rolling up on this side of the Santa
Ana and some of the naughty things
the people say to your correspondent
doOuO thC ouSCttCs xlC IIdS IcdIIleu
that the HERALD has recently estab.
lished two regular correspondents here
who will fairly and fully exhibit the
interests of this section, which the
Gozette has not done, and has now lost
the opportunity Of doing to advantage.
He has heard what numbers of the
people tell your cOrrespondent-that
they are tired of paying 81 Il year for
a driveling little sheet that Is fearful
of saying favorable word about the
county on this side of the
river, when, for less money, they can
get the HERALD, a first-class news
paper, that has the good of the entire
community at heart and speaks the
truth of every section, without fear or
favor. He has learned that the HER
AID, by
IT'S LIBERAL COURSE,
Has secured the subscriptions which
would otherwise have gone toward es-
newspaper at Orange or
Santa Ana, and that by future efforts
the HERALD intends to increase its
prestige here, simply by supplying the
need Of fair representation, denied the
people by the Gazette. His delicate
little suggestion is intended for you,
Mr.. Editor; and if your correspondent
does not exhibit a greater aptitude for
journalism than the Gazette man has
shown In his unwise, illiberal and
shabby treatment of the people on the
East side of the Santa Ana river, then
by all means ''muzzle' him and ''nip"
his career at your earliest opportuni-
ty. Meantime, the Gazette man will
to take his "nip" of Gold
STEMS best before writing his editori-
ais, the HERALD will continue "the
great paper of the Southwest and
saloon men will continue to "remain
away from Orange" w.
