THE Farmers and Merchants Bank
Of Los Angeles has declared its usual
dividend, payable on the tenth instant.
In these times of depression all corpo-
rations on paying footing should pay
their dividends monthly as it helps
the whole community and smooth over
the interval between the financial
stringency now existing and the good
time which indications point to as not
being remote. The above announce.
ment will come as nice Christmas
gift to the stock holders and will in
sure the visitation Of Santa Claus and
Kais Kingle with ample stores to the
little ones.

TAXPAYERS should go to the polls
tomorrow and elect proper men to
control the municipal and school
finances for the next year. The Coun-
Gil demands men of thought, men of
work, and not men who talk at and
for the lobby. 1t demands men of
common sense, who know how and
when to make Improvements. The
Board of Education should be COM
posed of men who know the value of
education and who will strive to make
our public schools the colleges of the
masses.

The Southern Pacific Railroad.

BY reference to our special dispatch
es it will be seen that the Board of
Directors of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company have passed resolutions
to build the Southern Overland Rail-
road from the Pacific Coast to a con-
Meeting point East, for the land sub
sidy voted by Congress to the Texas
Pacific Railroad. This is move in
the right direction. While Tom
SCOTT is striving to get the endorse
ment of the United States Govern
ment to his expensive scheme of
trans-continental road, the Southern
Pacific Railroad directors come to the
front with Il proposition to build the
road merely for the land subsidy.
SCoTT's scheme would involve the
people in an expenditure Of several
hundred millions while the PROPOSE
tion of the Southern Pacific Railroad
does not involve the outlay of "a sim
gle cent. In Southern California we
desire all the railroads we can get,
but we have common interest with
the whole people in preventing an en-
dorsement of pet scheme of Tom
SCoTT's by which, perhaps, hundreds
of millions may be extracted from the
public treasury. By recent decision
of the United States Supreme Court
the entire responsibility for the credit
already loaned to Pacific Railroads
has been thrown on the Government
and it is the duty of Congress to calm
ly consider before throwing an addi-
tional burden on the people. No one
questions the capacity of the present
Pacific Railroad to do the business of
the country and the manner Of con-
Quoting the affairs of the road is with
in the control of Congress. No one
doubts Mr.. SCoTT'S ability as rail-
road manager and yet Congress will
not be justified by the people in an
unusual expenditure of the peoples
millions. No doubt very strong ef-
fort will be made in the Democratic
House of Representatives for an en-
dorsement of Tom SCoTTs scheme,
but we hope the question will be calm
ly considered. The nation is suffer
ing from high taxes, the result of
Republican misrule; an absolute nee
essity for the road does not exist, and
if built it should be done for the land
subsidy alone. The Democratic party
being in majority in the lower house
at Washington, will be watched close
ly by the nation, and on their wisdom
the success Of the party in 1876 de-
pends. Any reckless use of power,
any foolish expenditure of the peo-
ple's money, any addition to taxes.
will result in disaster to the Democ-
racy and we beg our representatives
at Washington to act like statesmen,
for all their mistake will be millstones
around the party neck next year.
Congress will have to decide whether
to loan the credit of the Government
to Tom SCOTT to the amount of three
hundred millions or let the Southern
Pacific Company build the road for the
land subsidy.

WE find public opinion setting quite
strongly in favor of DR.. WIDNEY and
Er. MUGENE MEYER for the Board Of
Education. Both gentlemen are large
taxpayers, have children in the pub
lie schools and their ideas of education
coincide with the liberality of the age.
We urge our voting population to see
that the election results in sending to
the Board of Education men who are
true friends of public education, on a
non-sectarian basis. We must have
schools, competent teachers and q lib
eral school system.

MOODY and SANKEY still continue
to draw immense crowds in Philadel-
phia, and the mystery is whether the
magnet is MooDY's preaching, SANK
EY's singing or the melody of the
choir of three hundred. MoODY's SER
mons, as published, would not be lit
erary credit to any of our Los Angeles
divines, but, perhaps, his manner
makes his eommOnplaces attractive.
SANKEY'S singing is invariably com.
plimented, and we know the picked

awe-inspiring melody. Philadelphia
is impelled by the fervor Of the APP

ception of the Evangelists exceed the

in.the engagement OF Miss Abbie Whln-
merry, oil this city, as soprano soloist.
Miss Whinnery, a young and accom-
plished lady, was born in Salem, Ohio,
and is OF Quaker parentage. When very
young she manifested extraordinary vo-
cal abilities, and re ative residing in
this city, hearing of this, induced her to
take lessons In Cincinnati under the
management of Madame Rive, when at
ter two years, In the autumn of 1869, she
went to Paris, where her marked vocal
accomplishments became SO apparent
that she was entered as a pupil at the
Conservatory of Music, among eleven Of
one hundred applicants.
Here she remained eighteen months,
alter which she departed Tor London.
She made her first appearance in March,
1872, and was hailed by the press as a
prodigy in her art.
Indeed, so great were her talents that
she was persuaded to go to Italy with a
view to take up an operatic career, but
tor some reason she remained in London
until last summer, from whence she de.
parted TO Boston, where she made her
first appearance at the concert given by
the Harvard Musical Association. Her
success at tnat place was mOSt femarka-
BILE, and was .heraIded with enthusiasm
by the press Of that city, and her career
has since been one OF marked ability and
success.

lated upon this marked addition to the
coming musical feast, and the new inter-
est which it adds to ihe already excel
lent programme.
