YHE lHDEPENDENTS

Last Monday about . dozen. We think,
met 1t the court house and spent the #
ternoon talking about Peter Chopper, read

talked about ~ hour. but somehow failet!
to excite any enthusiasm. After some
discassion and the adoption of result
ton or two which appear elsewhere. The
independents accepted the advice Of
"Old Eotc:l" and v",cd to adjourn with
out nominating u ticket, and meet again
next Tuesday to con-ummate their work.
H"tcl,kiss gave the few Independent
Peter C.,opcrites to understand that he
would support their movement, If they
would nominate Howe. He did not pledge
himself to do so. but If what he SAID
meant anything, it meant that. SO far as
numbers are concerned, the convention
WAS not q success. but the few there -.
cured each other that there was immense
anthusiasm 10 :he country, and that BY
adjourn,ng NO difficulty would exist in
the way If getting out large crowd. Of
those who participated in the gathering,
there were none who have been recognized
- soundly Republican within the last
three years. except w. d. Peck, Esq. of
Udolpho. We have the most profound
respect for the opinions Of good men,
whether We agree with them Or not. and
Il the handful that ''made start" last
Monday, shall show themselves entitled to
be regarded as sincerely deserving to
rromotc the public welfare, it will to
some extent compensate for the bad policy
which they have seen fit 10 adopt, BY

can excuse mjs,akes aif we think they are

The Danger Ahead.

The announcement made by the
HERALD that the passage of the AR
CHER freights and fares bill would me-
cessitate an immediate discontinuance
of all railroad building throughout the
State, has drawn the attention of our
people to amatter to which they had
paid but little attention, and the
universal sentiment is that if the bill
will stop the building of railroads, it
should not be passed. Los Angeles
and all Southern California is now re-
ceiving more material aid toward de-
velopment and permanent prosperity
from railroads than from any other
half dozen sources combined, and
we cannot afford indulgence in Legis-
lative buncomb that will cripple and
probably kill the system of railroads
now rapidly extending itself over this
part of the State. If, as we have ev-
cry reason to believe, the passage of
ARCHER's bill will compel the South.
ern Pacific Company to discharge the
vast force now employed in Tehachape
Pass and the San Fernando Tunnel in
pushing the work of closing the gap in
the road between this city and San
Francisco, and to suspend operations
on the Southern Pacific East of San
Gorgonio Pass, it is Che duty of not
only every resident of Los Angeles
city and county, but of every resident
of Southern California to oppose its
passage. We talk of hard times now,
but let railroad building come to a
stand still-let the announcement &c
forth that no more Southern Pacific
track will be laid until after the con.
vening of the next Legislature, TIVE
years hence, and we shall have hard
times compared with which the pres
ent is an unusually prosperous era,
Dimes will not be as plenty as dollars
now; real estate will rapidly depreci.
ate, and q few months hence, those
who are so loudly demanding the pas
sage of bill intended to prevent rail.
road building will be anathematizet
by the whole people, and to be known
as the supporter of ARCHER's folly
will be to be regarded as an enemy tt
pubic welfare and a stumbling bloch
to development and prosperity.

California to pay three prices for the
monopoly newspapers in order to
obtain the latest kilograms. 1t has
always sought for exclusive franchises
for the reason that its policy is so
mean and contemptible, that when
forced into competition with liber-
ally conducted line it at once loses all
patronage. For years this contempt
ible monopoly extorted four prices for
the services rendered, from the people
of Los Angeles. But from the day the
Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Com
pany opened an office in this city, the
people turned from the Western Union
as Sinbad fastened from the old man
ofthe mountains who had so long hung
a dead weight about his neck. West
ern Union patronage in Los Angeles
now only comes on days when the mon-
opoly string happens to be working
and the Atlantic and Pacific wires are
imperative. To illustrate the extor-
tionate character of this company of
bailing wire lines, here is q case in
point. The heavy storm of last Sunday
night broke down the Atlantic and
Pacific lines for long distance and
the HERALD was deprived of its usual
kilograms over that company's wires.
Our Sacramento correspondent sent
report of thirty words over the Western
Union line, and that magnanimous
company charged and collected from
us private message rates-one dollar
for each ten words. This is not exactly
highway robbery, because that is done
with q shotgun and this with a
piece of rotten bailing wire. But after
all there is something to be set down
in the extenuation of the acts of the
tottering old monopoly. 1t is on its
last legs. Its friends are fewest where
it is best known. In towns reached
by other lines it does no business, eX-
cept in cases such as we have men
toned. 1t only receives patronage
when the business cannot be done over
other lines, and when the patronage
is forced the old custom of extortion is
resorted to. To new corners and those
who have not yet felt the weight Of
Western Union extortion, we say,
avoid the rotten old monopoly as you
would place where you know you
will be compelled to pay the largest
amount of money for the least possible
service. You may as well hope to beat
three card monte, thimble rigging or
the strap game as to do business at
reasonable rate over the Western
Union wires when the other lines are
| down.

Another Eloquent Speech.

Journals that were once proud to be
called Administration organs, and
who would again entertain that feel
ing were the pecuniary consideration
forthcoming, are wont to tell us, In
these days of pipelaying and wirepull-
ing, that they consider GRANT as vir-
tually out of the Presidential contest,
but if he desires to do SO he has the
power to secure the nomination for
third term. This is good lord and
good devil way of defining one's posi-
tion, and evinces disposition to
stand in readiness to adopt the policy
of CoNKLING embodied in the follow
ing eloquent sentence: off you want
it, 1 don't; if you don't, L do" GRANT
has not responded and Roscoe is still
in doubt whether his Chief wants it or
not. So with the Republican jour-
nails. If GRANT wants it they will
support him; if he does not, then they
feel at liberty to go for CoNKLING, or
whoever will make it an object for
them to do so. But if these journal
istic trimmers are possessed of but the
feeblest perceptive powers, they can
not but see that President GRANT
does want it-that he is as much q
candidate for third term as he was for
the first or second term. A single
word from him would have set the
matter at rest long ago; but he has
steadily refused to utter that word.
He never intends to utter that word
while the barest chance remains for
the accomplishment of his purpose.
The Republican party may choose be-
tween two ways of dying, but it can
not change its executioner. If it re-
fuses to nominate GRANT, he will Kill
it; If it does nominate him, he will
kill it. 1t is unreasonable to expect
that if permitted u fair expression the
people will elect the third termer, and
it is a reasonable conclusion that
without the support and influence of
GRANT the party cannot elect any
other person. The New York Sun
gives the following as the Presidents
last speech on the third term questions:
"The question OF third term I do not be-
lieve concerns the American people very
much. maintain that under the Consttu-
sion any citizen has right to run once, twice
or thrice for the Presidency If he so desires.

Delightful! Though Mr.. La Ransieur has
closed his select dancing classes for the pres
ent season, and has taken the management
ofa special class of popular amusements to
be given at the Washington Garden and at
Santa Monica during the coming season, he
has now consented, after an urgent request
from many of our leading citizens, to give in
structions to a class of young folks every sat-
urday afternoon at the spacious nall at the
Washington Garden, located in the midst of
an orange grove and surrounded by beautiful
graveled walks, water courses, fountains, pa
godas, flowers, and the song of wild birds.

tents and find Foul brood Cure.' Hast
lily looking through the article
search for the words, salicylic acid,
and sure enough there they are, as |
expected, for it has done me the same
service it has Mr.. Siebeneck. 1t has
been demonstrated through the care
full scientific researches of Rev. Mr..
Shonfeld that microscopic fungoids
are the cause of foul brood. Now as it
has been sufficiently proved that sail
cylic acid, like carbolic acid, would
destroy all animalcul9 it ought like
wise prove efficacious against the
micrococeus or fou.-brood fungus, es-
pecially as salicylic acid is harmless
against animal tissue, having, further
more, no smell, and when diluted, no
taste. 1 accordingly procured some in
drug store and operated as described.
The disease had assumed such
threatening proportions with me that
at last eighty per cent of sealed cells
were fowl brooding. proceeded sub
stantially as Mr.. Siebeneck did, taking
a feather and sprinkling cells and
comb with the acid dissolved in warm
water, also washing the interior of the
hive with rag moistened with the
acid.
Besides I added the diluded acid to
their food in proportionaily large
doses. The bees ate it readily and

p. S.--Salicylic acid can now be OBJ
tanned from the manufacturers in the
United States at about 80 cts. an ounce,
by the quantity.
l have lately, since above was writ
ten, noticed an article Jon benzoic acid
as a substitute for salicylic for the
preservation of meats; and the result
of number of experiments seemed to
prove it far superior to the salicylic.
Those that cannot obtained the salicy-
lie might try the benZoic. Besides it
is more readily dissolved in water.
