mer at Newport.

The New York Herald of yesterday remarks

of Wadsworth and j. B Ward.

THIS is not first class year for WIS.,
itors to the Pacific coast and per con-
sequence we shall not pick up the u.s.
ual quantity of unconsidered trlfies
dropped from the pockets of Eastern
tourists. The Centennial Exhibition
influences many to remain at home
this year and not a few of our own
people together with a great many of
our dollars have gone over to Phila-
delphia. Los Angeles which is the
ultima thule of the tourist and pleas
ure seeker experiences falling off in
the number of her Eastern visitors.
Last year the number of arrivals of
the class purely visitor exceeded that
of this year, so far, probably two to
one. We presume our hotel keepers
and landlords have experienced re-
alizing sense of this aud while COM
placently yielding to the inevitable
are inwardly rejoicing that the Gen.
tennial comes but once in a hundred
years.

Valuable Improvement.

Decidedly the most valuable, be-
cause the most beneficial, improve
ment progressing in our city is that
inaugurated and now approaching
completion by the Los Angeles Wa
ter Company. More than one year
ago it was discovered that the old wa
ter mains were unequal to the de-
mand upon them and it was apparent
that the rapid growth Of the city
would soon place it beyond the power
ofthe Company to supply their GUS
toners with water unless they great
ly increased the capacity of the main
pipes and reservoirs. An increase
was resolved upon and the company
at once contracted with San Fran
cisco firm for iron pipe sufficient to
relay the main. The new pipe is
twenty-five inches in diameter and
is made of the best American No. II
wraught iron. Each section before it is
laid down is boiled in tar and subject
ed to heavy hydraulic pressure. The
work of laying the new main has
been going forward for some months
and will be completed in about two
weeks from this time. Some idea
of the magnitude of the under
taking may be obtained from
the fact that the expense of the
company for labor alone has averaged
from 81, 400 to ST 800 per week. Two
new reservoirs are to be constructed,
the highest of which will be of great
capacity and some eighty feet above
the reservoir from which the present
supply is drawn. The large main and
the increased capacity and elevation
of the reservoirs will it is estimated
afford an abundant supply of water
for a city of five or six times the pop
ulation Los Angeles now numbers.
Some difficulty has been experienced
in obtaining water in the high locali-
ties, but this trouble will disappear
with the completion of the improve
ments now in hand. 1t is estimated
that good pressure will be secured
on the highest land. The increase of

without doubt, recover.
Israel Dehan, better known to our
community as Frank Calisher or "Co-

cattle near Downey, and sold them at
San Gabriel. Deputy Sheriff Jones of
San Gabriel, arrived here Sunday

Political Sentiments.

for Vice-President would carry the
election by storm. .-Mendocino Demo.
crdt.
There is but one remedy for the
evils that oppress the people, that is
an entire change of administration
Santa Rosa Democrat.
The triumph of the Democratic par
ty depends entirely upon two condi-
tions-the nomination of represen-
tative Democrat and a fair fight on the
real issues involved in the contest.
We have confidence in the
people, and believe they will call to
power the party whose glory is writ
ten upon every bright page of our
country's history, instead of perpetua-
ting the domination of the party
which was born of fanaticism, whose
history may be written in the blood
and tears ofa once happy people, and
whose corruptions are filling the land
with shame and honest Indignation.
Governor Tilden is our choice
Santa Rosa Democrat.

THE small pox has made its appear
ance in the Chinese quarter of San
Francisco and is quietly spreading.
This fact should be warning to our
municipal managers to place their
house in order. AS yet the disease
has not made its appearance in this
city, but there is no special reason
why we should be exempt and all
know that much may be done in the
way of preventative. Remember that

pound of cure"

Warlike symptoms.

1t is quite evident that there is trou-
BILE brewing in Eastern Europe. The
signs of the times are not so deceptive
that we cannot read their meaning.
The cables are daily laden with re-
ports of movements that indicate at
no distant date the carving up of poor
unfortunate Turkey by the great pow
ers. One of the most positive evil
dences of such a change in the model
ing of the European Kingdoms lies in
the facts that London and European
houses are all declining and the prev
alence of the existence of depression
in financial circles everywhere. A
few days since German squadron
passed through the Straits of Gibral-
ia, bound East, of course for the Turk
ish seas. 1t is also asserted that the
Rothschilds are sellers of consols to
the amount of million pounds ster-
ling. The supposition that this action
is based upon positive knowledge by
the great banking-house that the finan-
cial affairs as we'll as political matters
are Becoming very unstable is appar-
emily well-founded. In view of these
facts and symptoms it may be we'll
enough to draw a parative conclu-
sion upon a point or two. 1t is quite
interesting to note the changes that
are wrought in few years in the pol.
icy of nations upon International af-
fairs. We have seen Germany and
England in alliance against the
French, and We all remember when
England was rightly styled the Queen
of the seas. To-day the Eastern ques-
tion comes up in new shape and
first in the exhibition of naval
strength Germany comes to the 'front.'
The progress that Germany has made
during the last twenty years, in every
thing appertaining to material
strength is a remarkable feature in
the advancement of the present GEN.
tury, and while we can but note that
in some respects we have deteriorated
in some of the features of National
prominence and vigor. We may learn
lesson or two from some of the Eu.
ropean Powers that may be of service.
In the present instance we have real
ly, in a mercantile point of view,
more at stake in the Mediterranean
and its ports than Germany, and yet
she is quick to respond to the threat
ened emergency, and does so with a
vigor that is in accordance with the
spirit that has contributed so much to
her recent rapid development and
acquisition of prominence. AS ever
we are likely to be in similar predica-
ments that we usually have to endure
and work out of when emergences
arise in foreign ports. When will our
Government learn wisdom in this re-
spect. We may pattern after Ger
many in this respect as well as other
matters. There is but little doubt that
trouble is imminent, and we are the
least prepared to protect our own citi-
zens ofall the nations that style them
selves "The Great Powers"

Supreme Cheek.

Yesterdays mail brought us the in
evitable letter of inquiry, which has
now boone the bane of our existence.
We look for it every day, and some
times we have 1t doubled and trebled.
This especial one would not perhaps
excite any comment Were it not for an
unfortunate combination of circum-
stances, which compels US to speak.
Our correspondent, who writes from
Wisconsin, feels impelled to take us
into his confidence, and reveals in
two closely written letter sheets the
leading events of his long and mis-
spent life. He has visited the con-
servatory of music at Leipsic, and is
thoroughly proficient in mnsic, whic
he spells with "k.n He also in
forms us on the heels of this that his
commercial and literary education is
good, and he has had an extensive
"praxis' in his present field. Lead
ing by gentle degrees to the grand
climax, he signifies his interest in
California, and init mates that he may
locate there if everything promises ia
vorably. He don't wish to make a
great deal of money at once, but de-
sires pleasant climate and good soci-
ETY.; would like to secure some land
and do a little profitable farming or
fruit raising, at the same time teach
ing music. He requests us to take
some interest in his case, gather all
the information of value to him with
in our reach, and if possible engage
few music scholars and look up an ell
igible piece of land at about S12 per
acre. The writer then modestly adds:
"It is not necessary that the informa-
tion should be about your place alone;
please have other places in view. If
you cannot give me any other infor-
nation, hand these lines to friend
of yours that can."
And all this for a three cent postage
stamp. Selah! Perhaps our diffident
correspondent is not aware of the fact
that we always answer such letters as
his; that we keep corps of three sta
tisticians gathering the required data,
and six rapid penmen transcribing 1t;
that two boys are at work from morn
ing to night carrying these letters to
the post; that the poor woman who
seals up the missives and fastens on
the required postage stamps is COM
PEELED to drink quart of Spaulding's
prepared glue three times day to
keep up her Itch, and even with that
stimulant is fast running dry; that
our private fortune has been dissipa-
ted in the purchase of stamps and pa
per, and that we are about to accept
an early and lamented grave in Fort
Hill cemetery.

The notorious Mrs. Whiting left on
the Wilmington train yesterday. 1t
is said that her daughter Mamie, who
has been the cause of so much scan-
dal, came up from San Diego by the
Orizaba, and the two doubtless met on
the steamer and pursued their way to
San Francisco. AS to the man Jones,
the putative husband, we learn moth
ing, and he has probably shought the

Indian Atrocities.

An Omaha dispatch of yesterday
contains the intelligence that citi-
zen of that place, just arrived from
Custer, says that on the night of the
18th ult. that place was attacked by
Indians, who burned the ammunition
house in the central part of the city,
which in blowing up destroyed several
of the party, which numbered ninety
six. They left at daylight the next
morning and brought the particulars.
They burned John Schenck, of Yank-
ton, who had been shot eight times,
at Buffalo Gap, on the North side of
the Platte, between Red Cloud and
Sydney. On the 18th the Indians at
tackled miners cabin at midnight,
at Rosebud, between Custer and Dead
wood, and surprised and killed all the
occupants, literally hacking them to
pieces.
There are about 400 people in Custer
and 200 houses. Nothing can be done
on account of the Indians. If man
goes a mile from camp he loses his
scalp.
A Minneapolis dispatch of the Goth
ult. states that letter from the Black
Hills corroborating the statements of
rumors in regard to the Indian scalp
ing stories, and adds that they are not
half as startling as the facts. The
writer helped to bury persons killed
by the Indians every day. He gave
numerous instances of murderOus
atrocities committed by the redskins.

last evening was well attended and a
thoroughly good time was expert
enced by all present. The ladies of
the church had provided the choicest

they were dished out to appreciative
consumers. A full orchestra band
was in attendance, and the company
were favored in the course of the eve-
ming with volunteer and vocal music.

A Washington dispatch says: There
has been n report in circulation for sew
cral days that number of influential
gentlemen from New York, some OF
whom were here, were busy in an at
tempt to patch up n reconciliation be-
tween Senator Conkling and eX.Speaker
Blaine. Among the names OF those
who were alleged to be engaged in the
work were those of Vim. Orion, A. b
Cornell and Wxldo Hutchings, all of
whom have been in Washington lately
and two of whom are known to have
bad unusually intimate relations with
both of the distinguished gentlemen
named Just how far their effort succeed
cd if indeed such an effort was made is
not known, but it is known that no COM
plete reconciliation was effected. Inc
failure of the effort might have been fore
seen. Messrs. Conkling and Blame
oliarreled on the floor of the Honse about
eleven or twelve years ago, the former
receiving such parliamentary punisa-
ment as he has never received SINCE and
one which he will probably always re-
member. The gentlemen have not
spoken to each other since, and although
frequently in company together, they
have never exchanged courtesles. AS
between themselves, the question seems
TO be one of indifference, neither gentle
men seems to be conscious of the existence
of the other. Whatever formal recon-
Citation may take place in the future,
there will probably always be a hostile
feeling between them. Their mutual
friends deplore the bitterness, but neither
feels like renewing the friendly relations
that once existed.
