Will be In attendance.
Col. Fisher, of the Outlook, liz
formed us yesterday that, at tb,
last meeting of the Downey Demo
cratic Club, twenty-eight new
members joiued the Club.
The Cathedral choir, assisted By
a number of our best amateurs
will sing some fine selections
from tho "Creation," "Stibat
Mater" and also from standard
operas, ut the festival to be held In
Baker Block on the Fourth.
The Fourth of July celebration
will be grand affair, notwith.
standing the niggardliness of the
Council. The Collection Commit
tee on Friday secured subscriptions
amounting to Sl65, and they expect
to swell the amount to $500, which
Will be sufficient to assure the sue
cess of the celebration.
The Young Mems Democratic
Club, at their regular meeting last
night, appointed Messrs. Patton,
Waters and Stephenson CONT nit
tee to draft an address to the DEM
ocratic voters of Los Angeles
county. The Club adjourned to
meet at the County Court room
Saturday evening, July 18th.
A man and woman went into the
Grand Central Restaurant last
evening where they partook of a
sumptuous repast, but, when it
came to settling for the feed, the
man was unable to "pungle." An
alteration ensued which ended in
blows. The combatants were ar.
rested and held for examination
before the Mayor on Monday.
1t is desirable that the civic soci-
cites who expect to participate in
the Fourth of July demonstrations
give information of the fact at once
to Grand Marshal Rays 80 that he
can make full arrange ments for the
procession. Every present indica
ton points to the best celebration
since the Centennial year, and we
hope that no society of prominence
will fail to be represented.
The announcement of Mr.. G. W.
Moores, of Downey, appears in our
advertising columns. He desire s
the Democratic nomination for
County Assessor and we learn from
all quarters that he is q gentleman
who possesses special qualifications
for the position. Mr.. Moores is a
thorough Democrat and withal
highly popular where he is best
known. He was a staunch sup.
porter OF the new Constitution.
Messrs. Asa and William Hunt.
Or, of The Corralitos rancho, dis.
claim having had any con-
lection with the breaking Of
he dam on Friday, as reported
II the city papers. They were
rear at hand at the time of the oc.
but were neither support
ng nor encouraging Covert. Their
'tatrment is corroborated by Mr..
Cuddy, who exculpates them from
blame in any of the water troubles
which have thus far occurred.
The prefix "Hon." before mans
lame is proper when he is a Sena-
or or Representative in Congress
Nowadays, however, it is tackled
IN T." tho name of every nobody
Who has held u little Bit of an office,
10 that 10 has come to be meaning
ess or ridiculous. There are 80
many of these "Hon." little people,
hat If they could be gathered into
. party OF their own, they would be
more formidable than the "H0uor-
bile Bilk" party is likely to be-
J. r. Atta.
1t was mentioned several days
go that Capt. Felix w. Robert
on, formerly of this city, has been
poken of for Recorder of Los An.
,eles county, California, of which
lie is now a resident. Capt. Rob-
rtson's career AS City Tax ColIec-
or Of Memphis proved him to be
ne of the most competent ami
'igilant officials ever connected
With our local government. And
nless he has changed wonderfully
ince, if the people Of Los Angeles
ounty conclude to give him an
flee, they will discover that he
elongs to a class of officials who
re never found wanting. Mem
