BILE reforming female extravaganza.
1t is dangerous ground, full of mines

plode at any moment and blow the

men do spend good deal of money on

self of fashionable ornaments, is not
greatly admired by the gentlemen, it
looks when we go back from effect to
cause very much as though the men
are to blame for female extravaganza
after all. Besides this when we cry
out for economy we should practice
what we preach. If while we are
counting up the dress and jewlery ex-
travagance of the ladies, they should
take it into their heads to foot up our
cigar, whiskey and billiard bills, we
are fearful the showing would not be
to our crdit. We had rather not meddle
with the millinery business.

For Congressman.

The Anaheim Gazette, a paper al
ways found laboring earnestly for the
best interests of Southern California,
has carefully examined the record,
merits and qualifications of the three
candidates for Congressman from this
district and the following is its conclu-
sion:
Webelieve thatwe are correct in the assertion
that the struggle is beween Wigginton and
Houghton. IL this be true, the question
arises, which is the safest man? When we
examine the record OF Mr.. Houghton, we are
politicians; that his political ramifications
are altogether too extensive, and that the
schemes for the future, to which he is to a
greater or less degree pledged, unfit him to be
well-baianced legislator for the people
Our choice falls upon Mr.. Wigginton. To us
he comes as a free man; as entirely untram-
meled; as having no party debts TO pay, nor
tracks TO keep covered. He possesses talent
and an honest purpose to serve the people
He is opposed to all subsidiZing, but is ready
to aid railroads and all other schemes for the
actual improvement and development of the
state and OF the whole country. He is new
man in the field, and being not advanced in
years, will have as further incentive to do
right, desire to serve his constituents hon.
estly, that he may not deserve their censure
at future elections.

That "fair" Journal.

The Janus-faced policy of the Los
Angeles Erpress has attracted the at
tentention of the San Diego World,
and that paper proceeds to show up
the hipocracy of the concern in the
more caustic than complimentary
style:
1t is astonishing to see how much misrep-
resentation can be crowded in a half column
article, all under the plea of fairness. All
this species OF writing the editor OF the Los
Angeles Express is an adept. While pretend
ding merely to take lively interest in the
affairs OF a county OF which he was once
citizen, he lets no opportunity pass to per-
petrate an injustice upon some OF the candi-
dates OF the Democratic party. Injustice, too
that's based upon falsehoods that person
OF the intelligence OF, the editor OF the Express
should be ashamed to use. Each additional
article from that paper shows "a stronger crop
ping out OF misstatements, until IL has be-
come evident rhat the editor is actuated by
"A telling OF personal animosity or a corrupt
one still more unworthy. In his recent ef-
fusion he merely reiterates stale SLAM
ders, with some slight changes, and with the
addition OF attempting to drag in the names
of some gentlemen OF whom the memory of
past friendship should lead him to speak in
the highest terms, and do everything to adj
vance their interests.

BIooded Horses.

Within the past few years num-
ber of the wealthy residents OF this
valley have turned attention to the
business of growing fine and fast hor-
ses. They have succeeded admirably
and to-day Los Angeles county con-
tains some of the best stock in the
State. From an exhaustive article cn
"The Trotting Sta kes'' in late num-
ber of the San Francisco Spirit of the
Times we clip the following:
The renowned Rysdyk Hamblctonian has
EchOra to battle for the sceptre; and as her
dam is by Magnolia, which we suppose is the
American Star horse of that name, it is a
trotting combination which has proved the
very best. And yet if we are compelled to
select the winner of the Spirit of the Times
Stakes OF 1875, from the genealogical tree of
the contestants, we would select Beautiful
Bells as the sure enough victress. 1t wonld
be difficult to com bine better pedigree for
trotter. Considerable impreeding in the line
OF the Clays, purely gated .trotting family
as there is, with the stoutest strains OF thor
oughbred blood to give endurance and stami-
ma, for the dam Of the mare was by Bassin-
ger, her dam by William IVth, by frankly,
and the dam OF Bassinger was by American
Eclipse. Then the dam OF Beautiful Bells
was Dy bay or Baiu CnleI, remarkably 1aSt
horse, and his dam was by Keokuk son OF
Imp. Truffie. This much of her pedigree is
enough to show that she is rarely bred for q
trotter, butrarely bred ones at times are OF
no account. We will select here however,
andif she wins we will trumpet our powers
of penetration and prediction, if she loses we
will keep mum. This is the usual course of
turf prophets, and about the only safe course
The race referred to is the Spirit of
the Times Trotting Stake, mile and re-
peat; fifty dollars entrance play or pay
with three hundred dollars added.
The trot will take place over the agri-
cultural Park course, Sacramento on
Wednesday September 22d, 1875,
"Beautiful Bells,n the favorite of the
Times editor is the property of our re-
spected citizen, Mr. L. J. ROSE of
Sunny Slope Vineyard, and "Echora"
also another favorite is owned by an
other prominent citizen of Los Ange-
les county, Mr.. L. H. TITUT, of Dew
Drop. The two animals are worth prob
ably ten thousand dollars each. They
cannot be purchased for that money
from the present owners. We shall
not be surprised if in a few years Los

fastest trotting stock in the United

Railroad Progress.

The visit of Messrs. HUNTINGTON,
CROKER, GRAY and REDDING of the
Central and Southern Pacific Rail-
roads to this part of the State is likely
to lead to more active progress in the
way of railroad building, and also to
more rapid Improvements in Will
mington harbor. We are informed
that it is the purpose of the company
to set several dredgers atwork at their
own expense on the bar. The South
ern Pacific is to be pushed forward to
the Colorado river as eXpeditiously as
men and material will do the work.
The company still adhere to the deter
mination to close the gap between this
city and San Francisco by the first of
next July. They also propose to build
a branch road from the most availa-
BILE point on the Southern Pacific in
the Mojave valley to the mines of In-
yo county. This will be the shortest
and most direct route from the ships
in Wilmington harbor to the Pana-
mint and other mines of Inyo. The
party visited San Diego bay. They
travelled over the route by stage, and
express themselves well pleased with
the route which they pronounce quite
practical for railroad purposes. Mr..
HUNTINGTON thinks it probable that
the Company will commence this piece
| of road in a short time. 1t is also in
contemplation to construct road
from San Diego out to San Gorgonio
Pass when connection will be made
with the Southern Pacific. The Com
pany have sent outa corps of engineers
with instructions to survey railroad
route from San Diego to the Gila on
the 32d parallel and it is not improb-
able that road running out of San
Diego over this route will be COM
menced before many months have
gone by. Thus it will be seen that
the prospects of San Diego are bright
ening nd the probabilities are strong
for an early extension of the railroad
facilities of Southern California.

Gibson In Trouble.

LAWRENCE, Kan, Aug. 1Sth.-A
gentleman from the Usage Agency, re-
ports that the Indian Commissioners
investigating Indian Agent Gibson
are still in session. He says the COM
missioners appear to be very partial
to Gibson, and Indian Inspector KIM
ball is doing everything he can to
have Gibson whitewashed. The
Osages have charged him with ineffi-
cheney, fraud and corruption, with
cruelty and neglect of those who did
not comply with his wishes, with an
attempt to force the Quaker religion
on those who professed the Catholic,
with dividing the lands, making no
chief, producing dscord and strife.
The Commissioners are looked upon
as a set of whitewashers.

GENTLEMEN who have travelled over

estimate that the Democratic State
ticket will be elected by a plurality
majority of thirty-five thousand.
These figures are, we think, placed
little two high. 1t looks now as though
IRWIN would poll more votes than
PHELPS and BIDwELL both. This es-
innate will not need changing between
now and election day, for the reason
that though many votes are leaving
BIDwELL and going to PHELPS, there
is no detection in the Democratic ranks.
In this county hundreds of the Inde-
pendents are going to the Democracy
and we shall not be surprised if IR-
WINS majority in Los Angeles coun-
ty foots up fully five hundred.
