Complaint Of High Charges.

EDITOR HERALD:-I wish to ask
the favor of short space in your col
umns to make a statement which /
think will be of some interest to the
travelling public. On Saturday even
ing myself, wife and baby went to
Santa Monica and put up at the Santa
Monica Hotel, kept by Chapman &
Hougb. We had supper, room,
breakfast, and my wife and child,
dinner. No extras whatever. About
three o'clock Sunday afternoon l
called for my bill; and to my smaze-
ment, the reply was, "ni'le dollars,
sir.n
"Whot! Nine dollars ?'
eyes, certainly, nine dotldrS.n
1 am aware that there is a good deal
of extravagant charging going on,
but | certainly did not expect to find
the business practiced under the guise
of keeping a public hotel at Santa
Monica. There are other stopping
places in that town where the public
can be entertained without being
literally fleeced, where better meals
and better accommodations can be
obtained at reasonable rates. Better
meals can be had in this city at sew
eral restaurants for twenty-five cents,
than can be had at the institution
kept by Chapman & Hough.
Very respectfully,
II. ". ROSE.

The Oil Bonanza.

EDITOR HERALD.-It seems that
success has at last crowned the efforts
of the Star Oil Company. They have
struck flowing we'll of oil on the
Pico Spring yielding forty barrels per
day, at depth of less than two hun
dred feet, thing unknown in the his
tory of oil. There is no humbug
about this. Any one can see for HIM
self if he will come and do so. 1t con-
tinues to increase so rapidly as they
sink deeper that there is scarcely any
doubt that it will soon yield hum
dred barrels per day. The Refinery
at Lyons Station is running day and
night, and its capacity will soon be
increased. Boring will be COM
menced on the Hughes well as soon
as the road now being constructed is
completed. AS it is on the same belt
as the Pico oil well, there is scarcely
any doubt that they will strike oil.
The hidden wealth that lies beneath
these mountains will soon be brought
to light and will light many house
and hall in the future. 1t will throw
out brilliant light, that will soon at
tract considerable attention, and Will
guide the capitalist and speculator to
our district and add wealth and pros
perity to our country.

The House resolution authorizing
the issuance of ten millions of silver
coinage to take the place of the green
back notes, has passed the Senate with
an amendment that trade dollars
shall not be legal tender, and limit
ing their issue to the demand for ex-
portation. The House will, beyond
doubt, concur in the amendment. 1t
is understood that Congress will take
steps to increase the issue to twenty
millions. This will retire greenbacks
quite rapidly, but it will also increase
the discount on silver. CHRISTIAN
cY's silver bill is also likely to become
law. This provides that silver bars
stamped by the mint shall be legal
tender at their commercial value from
month to month. How far these
two steps will go toward solving the
financial problem is yet to be seen.
Those who have given the subject
considerable thought concur in the
opinion that little will be gained.

THE Soldiers Bounty bill has
passed the House. The progress of
this bill will illustrate the power of
the lobby in forcing legislation. If
this bill becomes law it disposes of an
Indefinite sum that may be estimated
anywhere from $50, 100000 to 500, ,0OO,-
900. Ostensibly the money goes to
the soldiers, but in reality ninety-nine
of every one hundred dollars will be
pocketed by attorneys and bounty
agents. And this is the influence that
has forced the bill through the House.
The soldiers do not ask for this appro-
priation, and if they did they could
not secure it. The bounty agents are
the real pensioners, and the soldier is
used to force an immense sum from
the people into the pockets of schem-
ing lobbyists. The Republicans pass
ed this same bill once before, but it
failed to become law for want of the
Presidents signature.

The First Positive Signs.

In the announcement that in conse-
quence of his continued i'll health,
BLAINE will retire to the quiet of his
home in Maine and take no part in
the Presidential campaign, we discov-
er the first positive indication of the
dissatisfaction felt by a large proper
tion of the Republican party over the
defeat of that gentleman and the
nomination of a man to fame and for
tune unknown. AS we get further
along we shall find that CoNKLING
and BRIsTow are taking no interest
in the fight beyond secret desire to
see HAYES defeated. The Presidents
heart is not in it, and, while he will
not openly oppose HAYES, his chagrin
over the summary manner in which
his favorite was disposed of by the
Convention is so great that he will
not give the ticket that cordial and
energetic support he would had CoNK-
LING been the nominee. GRANT had
fiattered himself that he would name
the candidate, and to certain extent
he was not mistaken. Don CAMERON
nominated HAYES, but he only accep-
ted him when the utter impossibility
of nominating CONKLING became ap-
parent,an the certainty that BLAINE
would be chosen if the fight went on,
could not longer be overlooked.
GRANT was permitted to name the
candidate on the condition that he
would not name CoNKLING. Disguise
it as best they can, the Republican
leaders cannot hide the fact that the
defeat of BLAINE has sown seeds of
discomfort in their party which will
produce crop of dissension that can
not but weaken HAYES. The con-
gratulatory and support promising
messages sent to HAYES by BLAINE,
GRANT, BRTsTow and Others, were
hollow protestations-promises made
to be broken.

west than the base of the hills. For
fear that it would depreciate the low
lands, the Council once refused to let
Mr.. Beaudry put up windmill to get
water on the hills, and there never
has been dollars worth of work done
at the expense of the city from the
base of the hills westward, notwith-
standing the fact that the private
means and enterprise of the two par
ties spoken of in the Republican, in
reference to the bridges, have raised
the assessed value of these lands from
SIS, 900 to 100000 dollars over what it
was assessed at previous to their inn
provements.

Council of the city of Los Angeles

The st. Louis Convention.

The Democratic National Conven-
tion meets in st. Louis to-day. The
representation will be quite full and
the intellectual status of the delegates
will; beyond doubt, range far above
that of any National Convention that
has assembled within the last score of
years. 1t is well that this is so, be-
cause there is much expected from
this convention. The eyes of the
whole people are turned toward st.
Louis to-day, and with the hope for
grand results there is commingled not
little fear of disappointment. 1t is
within the power of the gentlemen
composing the convention to do much
toward relieving the people from the
domination of party that after load
ing the masses with taxation mani
tests no inclination to relieve them of
the CALLING burden. The people have
abundant cause for wearying of Re-
publican rule. But they have not un-
bounded confidence in the protesta-
tions of the Democrats that they will,
If given the opportunity, remove the
existing grounds for discomfort and
dissatisfaction. The convention can,
and we hope will, nominate candi-
dates and put forth platform that
will secure for the Democracy that
confidence the Republicans have lost.
II the delegates have proper realiza-
ton of their whole duty and full un-
derstanding of what is expected OF
them, they will ignore sectional pre-
judice, recognize no faction, forget

party, and remembering only those
pure Democratic principles the adher-
ence to which made this the greatest
of great nations, they will give us
declaration of intention that all will
endorse and select men to carry out
those intentions in whom all will
have confidence. These things they
may do. That they will truly and
faithfully perform the task assigned
them we sincerely hope.
