Oily MILh.


Till all the world il honest, there need be no
hope of perfect purity in the articles which
trade and commerce supply. II is declared
that the we'll known tendency of all modern
paintings to fade and deterOrate is due to the
invariablc adulteratlOn OF some of the pig
ments. If all else were pure, the oils it is
said, are never wholly genuine; their adultera-
ton begins with the first steps. i'll their pro-
ducton in distant climes. Similar tricks with
almost all foreign drugs are the despair OF
physicians Every one of our doctors in
large practice can relate from his own
experience instances where human lives
were lost because the drugs administered
were inferior in strength to what they
| should have been; tempered with perhaps be-
fore they left India or Peru. To Il far simpler
form OF adulteration, practIced in all our large
cities, u very considerable percentage OF infant
mortality is unquestionably due inferior milk
is chief agency in adding to the babies
death roll.
A correspondent who is high authority on
such subjects, in another column throws light
upon tins point. 1t is often asked How does
it happen that poor milk is 40 injurious to in
fants? Nothing but water is added to the milk /;
what great harm can that do? If pure, distilled
| water were used by the iascally mikmen, the
only harm done might I've to the pockets Of
the buyer. But ordinary spring water added
to milk some hours in advance of It's use,
changes the character of the milk itself, rem
dcrs il more prone to deCompose. This condi-
ton is aggravated if the water Is impure. 1t
follows that the usual mixing of water with
milk for sale produces an article which Is not
only detcriorated but l. in some degree poison
Gus. The most efficient system yet put in prac-
ticc for checking such fraud is that which
the Board of Health has adopted. II is not
theoretically perfect. 1t permit, the dishonest
mkman to put some water into his cans with
out bringing him under the penalties OF the
law; bnt it has already resulted in largely re-
ducing the amount aud frequency of adultera-
ton.
The clear explanation given by orr CORE
spondent will enable persons who can give more
time to il than the average public, to arrive at
accurate knowledge ~ to the quality OF the
milk The, are supplied with Two instruments
are required for this purpose, and 1t should
not he difficult for some ingenious inventor to
couple them, for popular sale, with clear and
simple directions for their use. In that case
it is to be hoped that the galactomcter will
be given its proper name, Instead OF the
barlarous compound, creamometer" But the
total suppression of milk frauds Is not
TO be achieved. rs our correspondent hopes,
simply by decisions of courts or acts of the
Legislature. Not even if the milking is done
at ones very door Is purity insured. The in
valids sent to the shores of Italy have this
= L..
gate, and the mixer operates apparently Ill
full view. But under his arm, concealed by a
cloak, there is bladder filled with water,
which is squeezed from time to time as the
milking proceeds.

1t gives us JOY TO hear from Logan. With
ont Logan existence would he tame and the
field of politics an arid waste. He is an oasis
and beacon, the shadow of great rock, q
surging tempest, an oriflamme "a harbinger,
and every one of those other things that they
label wind with in the far West. We have
missed him. Missed him for months. 1t seems
so long-ah weary lapse of weeks and months
since we saw and heard him on the floor Of
the Senate take in his teeth the tangled ends
of high debate upon the currency and food
the Capitol with sound. How distinctly we
recall the scene The Senate and the country
had been waiting for him. 1t had been wills
pered that for not less than week Logan had
been in death graphic with the subject of
finance and the science of political economy,
and the universal feeling was that something
had got to come. No one knows what books
he read, but il was surmiscd that he did MT
read any; that he originated his own views (;
nor does any one know to this day WHAT au-
thorities he consulted, thorsh there was q
touch of moral str2'ismus in his reasoning,
and strong smell of Butler in his logic. But
whsn no concluded, everybody said it was all
up with the subject of finance. Logan had
given it n square grapple and thrown it. and

The loss of the Lords, as well as the rest of
the Canal Ring, has been pretty fully dis
counted already by the Democrats. Some poll
ticians who cannot see beyond their noses, ac-
cording to our correspondent at Rochester, are
vet bewailing the withdrawal of the Silent
Contractor from the campaign. But though
the Republicans are welcome to them, the Lord
family have not even carried their guns over
to the enemy. In case they intend to do 40,
there is not much time to lose, especially AZ 1t
will be needful to drill out the spiked cannon
before using them.

The mass meetings OF the Democracy held
simultaneously last night in this city and
Brooklyn were remarkable i'll numbers and
enthusiasm. Excellent speakers were secured,
and the addresses were of higher Or
der than is usual in political campaigns.
There is notable absence in these
speeches of rant and fustian. They take hold
of the live issues unheSitatingy. Reform is
the leading watchword; but it is direct,
tangible, real reform that is under discussion
Ex-GOv. Seymour places the greenback ques-
ton in full light, as an element of the can
vass. Senator Herman states the facts respect
ing sectariau appropriations and the school ques-
tion. Altogether, our report Of last nights
meeting offers to the reader the best possible
opportunity for learning from their own mouths
what the leaders of the Democracy IN this
State propose as the future of the party, and
what are its claims to support at the coming
election.

Ex-Judge Clerke of the Supreme Court, in a
card elsewhere printed this morning, narrates
the story OF the COLLISION between Judge
Barnard, OF Infamous memory, and Recorder
Hackett, to secure tho payment to Hackett OF
his salary for some months before he held
office Judge Clerke says quietly that he con-
sidered the whole proceeding then and still
considers it trick that Judge Barnard hum
plugged him into exchanging places for few
days in order that Barnard might grant
a mandamus for Hackett, and that both
Hackett and Barnard knew well enough that
he (Clerke) would not grant it. Altogether it
is about as damaging piece of testimony in
a small way as has yet been developed
against the Recorder. BY the way. does
it not strike the Republicans, who are
vehement now in favor of Recorder Hackett,
as a little curious that the two most efficient
and intimate friends of the Recorder seemed
to have been Judge George G. Barnard and

New-York merchants and manufacturers that
are growing about the dizziness of business
will see the propriety of making good show
of their wares at the Centennial. This will be
their great opportunity to create market

time in their lives, will see at Philadelphia
what our country is producing. Our state
Centennial Board has performed good ser
vice in ascertaining and announcing the facili-
ties to be given TO New-York exhibitors. 1t
will be our own fault if we neglect the ad-
vantages offered.

The spirited manner in which the British
authorities at Jamaica are acting in regard to
the Cuban cruiser Octavia, contrasts favOrably
with the conduct of the Haytian President,
who allowed the Spaniards to carry off the
cargo of the Laura Pride after it had been
landed at one of his ports. Knowing the
powerlessness of Spain, the British appear de-
termined to regard with indifference her de
mand for tho surrender of the cruiser and its
cargo.

A reduction Of the amount OF tho CLAIMS
against William NJ Tweed is urged by his
counsel. They wish to have deducted oil the
money recovered from the Watson estate and
all that was due from Garvey and Ingersoll
before they were released. There is better
way than this. Let Mr.. Tweed restore the
portion of the plumber which he actually re-
ceIved, and it will then be time enough to
arrange for releasing him from liability on his
partners shares in the robbery.

cans lost their chance of making nomination
that might have given interest to the CAM
paign the Democrats act az If they fclt

Don't Fear the Earthquakes!

Among the thousand and one in
quiries made of the HERALD the fol-
lowing is a frequent one: GLOW often
have you earthquakes about Los An
geles and how many are killed each
year by reason thereof?n Well, you
can come to Southern California and
settle here without nursing that great
bug-bear-the earthquake. Earth
quakes are very rare in this section,
and of late years never severe. A nice
harmless shake is good thing, and if
it happened more Frequently it would
be better for us-turn our attention
from things worldly to things celestial.
But one earthquake attended with
loss of life has ever visited this coun-
try and that was over half a GEN.
tury ago. Since then this section has
had repeated shocks, but so faint as
to be hardly perceptible. One hun
dred men have been killed by light
ming in the Mississippi valley alone to
one killed by earthquake in Califor-
mia. Here thunder storms, destructive
hail storms and whirlwinds are un-
known. Don't be fooled by the earth
quake scare.

Marble Discoveries.

During the year numerous speci-
mems of marble, discovered in various
portions of the county, have been
brought to the HERALD office. Among
them an elegant piece of clear white
marble taken from the surface of
q mountain about three miles north
of San Bernardino. 1t is hard and
solid and capable of a fine polish. The
discoverer, Mr.. w. w. Jenkins, says
that there is ledge of this rock on the
comb Of the mountain, some nine hun
dred yards wide and of an indefinite
length, the mountain being so rough
that he was unable to follow it up
along the whole distance. Doubtless
there is an immense body of this valu-
able material, and, lying upon the sur
face as it does, it can be easily quar-
ried. This discovery will furnish an
invaluable supply of building mate
rial, and that of the first quality, for
Los Angeles, besides developing per-
haps, at sufficient depth, fine quail
ity of marble for other purposes. Ex-
cellent sandstone abounds in the same
mountains.

THE CHANGERS.
Strength Ofthe Farmers Order In Los
Angeles County.

Los Angeles is the "bannern county
of the "Patrons of Husbandryn in the
State of California. There are seven
teen Oranges in the county, with q
total membership exceeding 1900, and
before the close of the present year the
membership bids fair to be over 1000.
The "farmer brothers, dwell harmo-
niously together, have "Co-opera-
tive" store in this city, organized in
July last, and very successful at this
writing, and they have several other
enterprises on foot to ease the produc-
ing classes from the exhorbitant de-
mands of grinding monopolies."
At the request of Thos. A. Carey, a
most worthy resident of this county,
and the District Deputy of the Grange
for Los Angeles and San Bernardino
counties, the following history of the
order was prepared for the HERALD
by l.. M. Holt, Secretary of the Grange
Cooperative Company:
On the End of August, 1878, the first
Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry-
Los Angeles Grange No. 36, of this
city-was organized in Los Angeles
county. The State Grange had been
organized at Napa City on the 18th of
the previous July. The order had
been but just established on this coast,
but at that time it was rapidly gain
ing ground. During the first two
weeks of August nine Oranges Were
organized in Los Angeles county by
w. H. Baxter, Secretary of the State
Grange, and this county became at
once the banner county of the State,
which position it has held ever since.
Los Angeles Grange No. 36 was or
ganized with Thos. A. Carey as Master
and T. d. Hancock, as Secretary. Mr..
Carey has been twice reelected to the

IT is fact worthy of note that the
first gold discovered in California, of
which there is authentic record, was
picked up in Los Angeles county.
MarshalPs discovery in Suffers mill
race at Coloma electrified the world,
but to the late Abel Stearns, one Of
the Oldest and most honored residents
of this county, is due the merit of
making the first discovery of the
precious metal in the State. AS early as
'33 he took out considerable gold from
San Francisquito Canon, in the north
ern part of Los Angeles county. He
sent the specimens to the U. S. Mint
at Philadelphia, and they pronounced
them "the real stuff The certificate
of deposit is in the possession of the
Society of California Pioneers.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-01-01

ending, the city financial affairs have
been carried on on cash basis. In
1928 city taxes were 81 40 on the
500, and unless a heavy increase of
our current expenses is found neces-
sary, the tax will not propably exceed
80 cents on the 500 for 1879. The fol-
lowing statement will give clear
idea Of our financial condition. At
the beginning of 1872 our Indebtedness
stood as follows:
BONUS, 43O
R h $1,000
School-house onds......................... 10000
Funded Loan 34,4O0
Outstanding Warrants................... 2l,l50
s288OOO
The exhibit for 1874 gives the follow
ing figures:
Bonds, 81 7450
X. II. $4,000
School-house Bonds.................... 2OOO0
Bonos, 1867 $4,000
X. X. Depot ds......................... 1900
Outstanding Warants...m.,............... 1900
s22O,75O
The railroad depot bonds to the
amount of $4,000 are new, yet it will
be seen that the total Indebtedness has
been reduced from $238, 900 to 1920, 75O.
The outstanding warrants which in
1872 amounted to $2l, $50 have been re-
duced to $4,000. The amount of money
III the city treasury is about $4,000.
Although our expenses have neces-
sarily increased, yet the rapid increase
OF taxable property has enabled us to
reduce instead of increasing the rate
of taxation. The assessed real and
personal property for the fiscal year
preceding the year 1872 was $3,500,00O,
from which we derived revenue of
S66,500. For the fiscal year just closed
the assessed value of all property was
over $4,5O0,000, and the city revenue
from all sources amounted to $65, 900.
From this it will be seen that the in
crease in the value of real and per-
sonal property is in proportionate ratio
with our increase in population.
tits proper to make passing allusion
to the rapid increase of our railroad
facilities. 1t seems but few months
since the time when a locomo otive could
not be seen or heard in Los Angeles
valley. To-day we have four railroads
radiating from the city. Within few
days one of these roads will connect us
with Anaheim. A few months hence
and the Southern Pacific will be ex-
tended to San Gorgonio Pass, giving
us an eastern line nearly one hundred
miles in length, while we may reason
ably hope that two more years at the
furtherest will close the section be-
tween San Fernando and Bakersfield
and give us continuous rail to San
Francisco.
