Third Term.

The third term for the Presidency
is question sprung by the Democrat
ic politicians, not by the Republicans,
and the aforesaid Democrats have
spared no pains to make the people
believe that there really was to be an
issue of this Ikind in the Republican
nominating convention. 1t is man
of straw, a ridiculous humbug. We
have so regarded it from the start,and
on numerous occasions have given
it our decided disapprobation through
the columns of the HERALD. The
third term is no part of the Republi-
can policy, it is purely a Democratic
humbug, Upon this subject the Hon.
Thomas Moore, of Hamilton, speaks
our sentiments, when he says in let
ter to the editor of the Hamilton Tel
egraph:
SIR As the time for holding the
State Republican Convention is rapid
ly approaching, it seems to me that
| the highest interests of the Republi-
can party demand that the Republican
press of the State should speak oui
clearly and distinctly on the much
talked of matter called the "Third
Term" Most certainly the Republi.
can party of Ohio is not in favor oi
any such measure. Why not then al
once, boldly and frankly denounce it.
The public opposition of such meas
ure could not by any reasonable posi-
bility be construed into an unfavora-
BILE criticism on the administration oi
General Grant. The General has
served his country well and faithfully
and the country has expressed it's ap-
probation of his services by twice
electing him to the highest Office in the
world. "Jam salts"
The great father of the republic es,
tablished precedent that, it seems to
me, would not be safe or practicable
to depart from for General Grant OIL
anybody else. For myself, am un
compromisingly opposed to the THIRD
term policy and will vote against any
party or candidate seeking to depart
from the precedent of Washington.

Some of the Democratic politi-
clans have raised a man of straw
which they call the Third Term, and
have succeeded in getting the more
verdant brethren of the Democratic
press to spend their valuable time in
barking at, which they do as vigor-

times do at the moon, and with about
as much effect upon the Presidential
nomination.

= The Marietta Register says the
School Board, at a recent meeting, de-
cided, three to two, one member being
absent, to dispense with Superin-
tendents of schools and with the
teacher of music The action may
have been well considered, but there is
strong feeling against it. Mr.. Jones,
as Superintendent, has only been in
the schools one year, and it is claimed
that his work shows for itself. He
has been faithful and arduous work
er, spending about one third of his
time in teaching and the rest in su-
pervision. To US it appears to be only
question of keeping Mr.. Jones OF
substituting a cheaper teacher who
may succeed as a teacher, but who
would be of no value as a head OF the
schools.

A portion of the thirty-five acres

A portion of the thirty-fve acres
adjoining the residence of Judge King,
owned by the Episcopal Church, is to
be subdivided and sold in lots The
proceeds will be applied to making
needed improvements about the church
building on Temple street. Some ten
acres of the tract will be reserved, upon
which to erect denominational school
building. This will place in the mar
ket some of the choicest building lots
to be found in the city.
Mr.. Temples crack team of farm
horses hitched to buggy stood in
front of the Palace Saloon yesterday
after noon, and were objects of general
interest. The two stations are four
and five years old respectively, and
their aggregate weight is $3.50 pounds.
The animals appeared in good flesh
although they were not so heavy, the
exhibition of bone and sinew, howev-
er, was something astonishing, and
altogether, we have never seen better
specimens of heavy draft horses.

Our Fruits-Can we Afford to Eat Them

Complaints are frequently made by
visitors to Los Angeles that they are
required to pay exorbitant prices for
fruits and other productions of our
section, when purchasing them in
small quantities on the street. There
is much justice in the protests thus
entered. If one wishes a half-dozen
oranges, he must pay as much for
them to the keeper of a fruit stand
here, as he could buy them for in San
Francisco or New York. And yet or
anges are raised here and shipped by
the hundreds of thousands. The
vendor buys them at 25 cents per
dozen and sells them at rs cents,- or
he pays 15 cents for poorer quality
and sells at so cents. Thus he makes
some two or three hundred per cent.
profit = very fair margin on
q class of fruits which can
not be considered perishable.
The same exhorbitant prices cover
all our semi-tropical fruits and nuts.
Why does this state of affairs exist?
Is it because a number of grasping
vendors have a corner on the market
and skilfully maintain it? Such must
be the case. Our groceries and pro-

His Room Better than His Company

Some time since correspondent OF
the New York Herald visited Santa
Barbara and gave description of ou1
fair up-country neighbor which was
far from complimentary. The letter,
which occupied something over two
columns in the Herald, we read care
fully, and we think without prejudice.
1t was, to say the least, very unjust in
almost every proposition. 1t depreci-
ated every advantage and magnified
every disadvantage which the country
might possess. 1t was ono of those
mean, underhanded expressions of
spleen which differed as much from a
fair, generous criticism as the writer
differs from gentleman. This indi-
vid,ial is now in San Diego and one of
the papers at that place gives him a
warm reception after this fashion:
What will become of us now? A
would-be newspaper aspirant has
landed in our midst, claiming to be an
imp of the New York Herald. Will
the boss of that powerful metropolitan
sheet call his "Tige'' away? The fact
that he has. been imported into our
midst by dint of begging free passes
from transportation companies and
signing his name on hotel registers as
especial, etc., is sufficient to stamp
him as relic of by-gone times in the
judgment of all intelligent men.
Nnx yt,r al IN. l,se
shape are "dead beatsu from A to u,
and are not countenanced by the craft.
God be praised when we shall hear no
more of them!
In course of time we shall doubtless
see another of these splenetic commu-
nications in the New York Herald,
which will make San Diego gnash her
teeth with rage. And then this Mr..
Wormwood will probably pack up his
valise put the bricks back into his
trunk and start for Los Angeles. He
will no doubt lavish full measure Of
venom upon our city, doubly distilled,
as death loves shining mark, and
dead beats are equally capricious. At
all times we invite an expression of
truth regarding Los Angeles. We
will kindly receive criticism and even
endure Misrepresentation; but should
the man throw himself upon our hos
pitality and wilfully belle us, we will
not answer for the Christian forbear-
ance which he may receive. Making
ones exit from city on the ragged
edge of q three-cornered rail to the
tune of the "Rogue's March," would
hardly be pleasant under the most
favorable circumstances. We charge
nothing for this suggestion to our San
Diego neighbors and promise nothing
to this Mr.. Wormwood should he con-
clude to pay us visit.

everything which is imported is sold
at retail at little above the ruling
prices Of San Francisco or the East. A
visitor who steps out upon the street
and buys few oranges on which he
pays two or three hundred per cent.
profit, concludes that Los Angeles is
place of magnificent charges. He
packs up his trunk, perhaps, and
moves on. We need twenty-five or
more live Yankee boys to establish
fruit stands on every alternate corner
along our main streets and "bear' the
market. Let us have fruits sold from
door to door in carts or peddled in
baskets by enterprislng boys and girls
Then we can eat the productions of
our own section at q reasonable price.
We can have the best also, instead of
the refuse now given us, culled from
shipments to our neighbors who are
fortunate enough to live where semi
tropical fruits do not grow.
