The Monopoly Device.

The San Francisco Examiner,
which publishes the platform
adopted by the recent Dem ocratic
Convention of this county, says:
The non-partisan monopoly de.
vice, we are glad to learn from au-
thentic sources, meets with no ap.
proval among the sturdy Democ.
racy of the banner Democratic
county OF California. Aud SINH
lar sentiment generally prevails
Throughout the Southern counties
of the State. 1t is also daily grow
ing in the Northern counties. The
truth il, had a concerted move
ment been made at an early day,
among the Democracy, the non
partisan trap would have been
condemned at the outset. But the
sorry blunder and the extraordi-
nary course of the members of the
State Central Committee who met
in this city and favored the novel
scheme distracted and demoralized
the party in most of the districts.
Here, the Democrats have from
the first repudiated and spurned it,
and the same is true of Los Ange-
les and most of the Southern
counties. AS it is, the thing will
be a failure, if not u ridiculous
fizzle, and this is the fate it de-
serves. To this end, now let the
Democrats of other counties meet
and place tickets in the field, of
sound, anti-monopoly candidates.
The time is brief, but the good
work can still be done. Activity
and unity only are required for u
Democratic victory.

"oUR SHAKE"
Two Well Defined shocks-0ur Population in
the Streets.

AT seven minutes past ii o'clock
last night pronounced shock of
earthquake was experienced in
Los Angeles. We were writing in
our office ut the time. The sensa-
tion was precisely as If three or
four heavy sacks of grain had been
thrown on the tin roof of the
HERALD building. We called out
to know who was on the roof, and
finding that no one was there, we
realized that we had witnessed
thorough "quake." On going out
on the street, aud observing the
vibration of the Flagstaff which
surmounts our building, we noticed
that the shock proceede from the
northwest to the southeast.
Eleven minutes later an even
more violent shock succeeded. BY
this time the streets were crowded
with people who had hurriedly
donned their clothes and sought
the protection of open thorough
fares. The second shock threw
Judge Goodner out of bed outright.
He says the Pico House shook like
an India rubber blanket. Mr..
Adolph Portugal, who sleeps in the
second story of the Temple Block,
says the vibrations of the building
were SO great that he could hardly
dress himself. Judge Witherby
informs us that he has experienced
no such shock as that of last night
since 1854.
Los Angeles was a thoroughly
aroused city last night. Ladies, in
a pronounced deSha6ilte, were fire.
quently to be encountered in the
open roadways, clinging to male
protectors. We shall not be at all
surprised to learn Of tidal wave or
other casualty before the HERALD
goes to press again.
There has been but one terrible
earthquake in the history of Los
Angeles county. That was in
1872. The Mission Church of San
Juan CapistranO was shaken down
one Sunday while the religious
services were being performed, and,
over one hundred people were
killed. The ruins of the church are
still matter of great interest to
the tourist. We have inspected
them ourselves, and portions of
masonry can still be seen that
were hurled fully one hundred feet
from the church. San Juan Cap
istrano is about sixty miles south
of Los Angeles, and is almost on
the border line of Los Angeles and
San Diego counties.

A Workingman's Views.
Los ANGELES. June II, 1878.

Los ANGELES, June IL, 1878.
EDITOR HERALD: 1 notice in
this mornings Star an editorial by
which the editor, in analyzing the
theories sought to be foisted upon
our social and political conslitu-
tion by the wild Drained men of to-
day, reaches the final conclusion
that they are seeking millennium
of freedom; that is, everything
must be free money, love, land f,
transportation in this world and
dsadhead tickets to glory in the
next; free sexual relations, freedom
from taxation, from moral re-
straint and law; freedom in an alb
solute and universal sense and
calls attention to the acme of polit-
ical and social philosophy that
would follow this communistic
mellenium of freedom aud then
calls upon his communistic friends
to show how this freedom is to be
sustained and how every abomina-
BILE crime is to be curbed. 1 am
not a communist, and 1 grant that
If there be any citizen of the
United States, outside of the edi
tors imagination, who entertain
those diabolical ideas set forth in
this mornings Star, society wonld
Immediately adopt a measure of
protection; but, as workingman,
l Icannot but doubt the honesty of
purpose that prompts tie editor Of
the Star to couple the reform
which is being agitated in this
State with communism.
The violent words and eo ometimes
the Incorporate expressions used
by o few of the leaders of the
Workingmen Is not to be taken as
the sentiments Of the many. The
Workingmen desire nothing but
justice. They have failed to re-
ceive it through their Democratic
leaders, and now, when we UNDER
take to act directly, our former
champions change their front at
the Palace Hotel and refuse to sub
NIT their record to the people. l
am Democrat now and always
will be, that is, 1 believe in a gov.
ernment Of the people by the peo-
Pile, and l believe that the Work
ingmen are the only genuine and
consistent Democratic party exist
ing to-day in this State, and the
editor of the Star cannot form any
estimate of their intention and
strength by the organization in this
city because it is nothing but the
offshoot Of the contemplate and
notorious piece club that originated
1t. this city few weeks previous to
the last State election.
Every attempt which was made
to purify the organization and es.
tablish it on an Intelligent and re-
spectacle basis was thwarted by
rash ignoramuses guided by two or
three willy adventures who are
we'll known in this community as
chronic office seekers. Why, then,
don't the piouj editor of the Star
admonish and chastise political
sinners directly, and not whip the
devil around the stump with the
ghost of communism.
Now Mr.. Editor, change of
front on the part of the Democratic
press in this section may not be
unwise, for no party in this State
will or can be successful on their
record. The people must rely en-.
tirely on the record and character
of the candidates, therefore [ be-
lieve, as a workingman, that my
interest will be further advanced
by the election of J. J Ayers than
that of r. d Pitt. | believe Col.
Godfrey will represent our interest
better than Judge Thompson.

The Picture Hanger.

EDITOR HERALD: In this morn
ing's HERALD was an item entitled
IA Temperance Idyl," in which
was a great mistake, either inten-
tional or unintentional. Brother
Allen did not know Of the exist
ence of the picture until he came
to Los Angeles the second time,
and did not desire to have 1t hung
In the tent. / asked his permls-
sion TO do so; he said that it was at
my own option. / consulted the
Chairman of the Decorating Com
mittee, Mr.. Hasselman, who OBJ
jscted. This was the only objec-
ton that 1 have heard OF. The
Chairman is to be pitied for jeal-
ousy in the matter.
The HERALD says that "the por-
trait of the pi0us Reverend Brother
Allen, done in oil, was retired"
This is simply a falsehood; for this
picture was taken to the tent for
the first time late Saturday after
neon, after the Jubilee was over,
and there 1t still hangs. Mr..
Allen was not seen hanging
certain cards In the tent for L did
that work myself, and when l heard
one of tie singers ask "who had
done that work" I replied that I
had done 1t, and that L would not
take them down, but would loan
him q knife If he wishe ed to do so. BY
examining the above named item
which appeared in the HERALD
the reader will conclude that the
writer was either afraid or ashs med
to give his name.

EVENING SESSION.
SAN FRANCISCO, June IL.
THERE Is TROUBLE IN STORE

For those who neglect to rsctify irregu
larities of the stomach, liver and bowels,
which they foolishly imagine will "come
right of themselves" or this silly error
such persons are usually dsahused by
the development OF some serious chronic
malady, traceable to what they were
pleased to consider a trifling disorder Of
a elimination il easily avoided. A course
of Hostetter's Stomach Biters invaria-
bly, has the effect OF renewing the secre-
tive action of a torpid liver, restoring
healthy digestion and assimilation and
rendering the habit Of body perfectly
regular. The activity Of these all-impor-
tant functions being restored, and the
entire system toned and regulated by
this incompatible corrective and invlg-
GRANT, no danger to the general health is
TO be apprehended from causes which, II
not eradicated in time, will assuredly
undermine 1t.

will donate and endeavor to per-
suade the owner Of an adjoining
lot to donate as much more. AS
we said before, we do not see how
the Society, in certain contIngen-
cies-for instance, the recall by
Mr.. Beaudry of his munificent
gift-can refuse to consider Mr..
Cohn's liberal offer.

Hickey, of the Fort Street Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, on opening

palpable hit at Brother Allen and

prayed by name for the Reverend

A New Cereal Discovered.
We take the following from th

We take the following from the
Ventura Free Press:
We have been shown a new
grain, discovered about four years
ago by farmer in Surprise valley,
in the northern part of this State,
taken from the crop Of a wild goose
shot by the farmer. He sowed the
seed Immediately after It was
taken from tue garner OF the BIRDS
crop, and IL produced more than a
nundred fold Mr.. Mrrithew, a
farmer of Butte county, beng on "a
Visit to Surprise valley, obtainet
some few seeds of the new grain
and succeeded iu propagat'bg il
with wonderful success on his farm
In Butte county. The straw and
beardless heads resemble wheat;
the grains look little like rye, but
are twice as large as rye. When
cut as it is passing into the
milk, 1t makes a hay even superior
to wheat hay. Mr.. Msrithew
has on hand several tons of hay
from the new variety of grain, aud
perhaps five bushels Of seed. He
gave about two quarts Of the seed
to one of our citizens lately visit
ing Butte county, who was struck
with the wonderful beauty Of this
new cereal, and brought it to
Southern California for propaga-
ton. Thos. r. Bard, Esq has
taken the seed and proposes to
give it thorough test upon the
rich alluvial lands of tie Colonia
rancho, near the sea shore. 1t
could not have fallen into the
hands of more intelligent and
painstaking cultivator. 1t appears
to us every way superior to rye, and
may prove to be of great utility, as
1t Is a fine grower and very pro-
ductive. We have some of the
grain, as a specimen, at our office,
which is attracting great attention.
