MORE ABOUT THE ARSENAL
APPROPRIATION.
How Tom Henderson is irving
to Make Political CAPITAL.
THE APPROPRIATION SAFE.

We have just received, copies of tele-
grams from Washington which give assu-
rance that the appropriation for the arsenal
is safe; that it has finally passed the
house. The fact that it passed by vote
of 12l to 81 is the best possible evidence
that considerable portion of the demo
cratic majority in congress, which the Union
has accused of trying to beat the appro-
priation, have voted for it. And THE
ARGUS will here state that it was largely at
the solicitation of democrats from this
vicinity that the democrats in congress
agreed to go against Mr.. Hewitt, and vote
for this appropriation. We will further
more state that when these democrats
were before the committee on appropria-
tons they were told by members of the
committee that they (the committed were
not acquainted with Henderson; and, after
they went before the committee with Hen
derson. they were told by members of the
committee that they did not know before
that Henderson was even u member Of
congress. We would rather not be obliged
to acknowledge this humiliating fact about
a man who has been our. Representative fol
four years, and would not do it bat for the
fact of the following kilograms
and for the additional reason thai
letters from Washington, writer
at the instance of Henderson will bt
exhibited to the workingmen on the ISLAND
stating how Uery important Henderson wa'
to the passage of the appropriation. Thu
is Henderson's plan of making politica
capital as shown by the letters he has haC
written from Washington and shown OF
the Island stating what wonderful thing
he has done for the eight-hour law-whel
all the records show of his doings is t
vote as Hale or Garfield tells him. Will
this explanation we give the two telegram
as follows;

Wants None OF it.

EDITOR HERALD: ], for one, APP
prove OF your correspondents plan
for a District Convention, for the
nomination of delegates to the
Constitutional Convention. l think
the so-called "non-partizan State
Convention" will be a fraud.
1t will be good place to
stay away from. No good Demo
crat can politically fraternize with
such men as S. M. Wilson, the
great railroad lawyer, and Nc M.
Shafter, the worshipper of Chinese
coolieism, ct id omne genus, who
are on the slate for its members.
1t may be said that Democratic in
fiuence should be felt in this State
nominating Convention, but con-
tend that we should give the un-
clean thing wide berth. 1t will
be neither fish, flesh nor fowl
neither Republican nor Democrat
ic. A political eunuch, with no
principles, no anything, it will
bind nobody, and receive nothing
but deserved contempt hereafter.
Let it alone. But give us District
Convention. DEMOCRAT.

Santa Monica Items.

The following items are from the
Outlook of the 18th:
The range of the thermometer
during the past week has been
from So to "A degrees.
Capt. Warren Avery has just
finished cutting his barley near
town. The yield, lie says, is enor-
NOUS.
The steamer Orizaba, on her last
trip, discharged 1856 tons of freight
at the Santa Monica wharf.
The prominence that Santa Mon
lea Is assuming as q pleasure resort
in the public estimation abroad, is
we'll attested in the fact that a
number of parties have visited
here in special palace cars.
Los Angeles families are securing
houses in Santa Monica for the
summer. Il. e. Rowan has rented
cottage on Third street, near this
Office. Messrs Maxwell and Moore
have taken the building known as
the "Glub House." H. ID. Barrows
is putting his cottage on Ocean
avenue in ship-shape. Several
others are applicants for houses in
different parts of the town.
The bath houses are now COM
plete, and they look as neat as
a pin. There are fifty.eight dress
ing rooms for surf bathers, with
fresh water shower baths in each
room, and every other necessary
convenience. The main building
is occu pied by eighteen rooms. with
complete arrangements for warm
or cold, salt or fresh water baths; a
large swimming tank, and three
rooms for steam baths.

East side of the river. He was
last seen alive on the morning OF
the 14tb, when he appeared as well
as usual. The old man was subject
to heart disease and, from appear

There will be picnic at Walnut
Grove, Upper Santa Ana, on Sat

the completion and opening of the

pany. The festival is under the
auspices of the latter company.
There will be a basket picnic in
connection with the general jollili-
cation. 1t will undoubtedly be q
delightful affair.
Brother Fisher, of Santa Mouica,
was in Los Angeles yesterday. He
is going to plant fifty acres Of his
fertile farm, located between Los
Nietos and Florence, in Scotch
thistles this year. He will see that
they are we'll crossed with the
most improved variety of the net

yet be q bloated capitalist as a re-
suit of his intelligent and energetic
farming operations.
Day before yesterday six sailors
belonging to the barkentlne Frank
Austin were arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Beaver, of Wilmington,
brought to this city and committed
to Jail to await examination on a
charge of INSTRUMENTATION, in rsfus-
ing to 60 to work when ordered by

Harlow, one of the sailors, filed a
petition for writ of habeas cor
pus, which will be heard in the
District Court this morning.
Madame Zanno's Blondes and
Brunettes, who are advertised to
open here on Sunday night, we
learn from our exchanges, lave
given entire satisfaction wherever
they have appeared. The whole
is spoken of in the
highest terms, but the "Living
Pictures" of Matt Morgan's Fee
male Statue Company, elicit espe-
cial comm endation. The enter
tainment will be the most novel
ever given in Los Angeles, and we
have no doubt their performances
will be greeted by overlooking

A Tranquil Nervous System

Can never be possessed by those VIII ose
digestive and asslmilative organs are in
state OF chronic disorder. Weak stom-
achs make weak nerves. To restore vlgor
and quietude TO the latter, the first must
be invigOrated and regulated. The ordi-
nary sedatives may tranQuilize the
nerves for q while, but they can never,
like HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, remove
the causes of nervous debility. That su-
perb invigorant and corrective of disor-
dered conditions OF the alimentary or
gans has also the effect of imparting tone
to the nerves. The delicate tissues of
which they are constituted, when weak
ened in consequence OF the impoverish-
ment OF the blood, resulting from imper-
feet digestion and assimilation, draw
strength from the fund of vitality devel-
oped in the system by the Bitters, which
imparts the required impetus to the nu-
tritive functions OF the stomach, enriches
The circulation, and gives tone and regu-
larity TO the secretivo and evacuative or.
