Federal census takes place, every
decade. 1t Ia true that the Repub-
lIcan Legislatures of the State of
New York, in order to cheat the
Democrats of New York city and
Kings county, have neglected to
lake this census. Had they done
so the Legislature Of that State
would have been Democratic with
out break for the past five or six
years, and all the United States
Senators would have been Demo-
cratic. But the principle is there.
AS the matter now stands, Los An
ge!es will have to wait for the Leg
lslature of 1881 to make the correct
legislative apportionment for this
county, and for the Legislature If
1888 to get her deserts in rightful
presentation. 1t seems to us
that some one Los Angeles dele
gate to that Convention ought to
have covered himself with an i'm
perishable local honor by seeing to
this matter.

A GENTLEMAN named Kyger
writes to the Wslla Walla States
man most lugubrious account Of
things In Los Angeles. He says,
and truly, that lands can now be
bought for $40 an acre that, two
years ago, sold for 500. Prob ably
Los Angeles city aud county are
not the only places in which over
speculation was followed by disas-
ter and foreclosure. 1t Is an old,
old story. People rushed in here
when property was at an exagger-
ated figure aud nothing could re
strain them from buying. Now,
however, when investment is rec
commended by genuine business
prudence, very few persons desire
to buy. They will wait till proper
ty has advanced twenty or thirty
per cent. on the present prices,
which are as much too low as the
old ones were too high, and then
will want Los Angeles real estate.
Old Angelefios understand this
thing we'll. They know how prone
the place is to be either on the top
wave of prosperity or down in the
trough of the sea. This re-
gion has gone through half
a dozen such experiences
since the American occupa-
ton and the old "stager" knows
just what they mean. The lowest
figures of real estate which will be
recorded In the history of Los An
geles county during the next ten
years, in our opinion, are prevail
ing now and cannot possibly extend
beyond October. The reaction to-
wards low figures has about spent
its force and a counter movement
Is certain to set In.

THE strictly non -partizan though
demUnstrative character of Grants
reception in California is noted by
the Eastern press. Perhaps the
most pleasant incident of the par
ty's stay in San Francisco has
been a bright, womanly, chatty
talk between Mrs. Grant and a
lady reporter of the Chronicle. The
wife OF the ex.President more than
makes up for the iron reticence OF
her husband, and gives expression
to a conjugal delight at the spon-
taniety and enthusiasm of the
Generals welcome back to
his native land. Mrs. Grant
was always an ornament to the
White House and the beau ideal of
an American matron. Her re-
marks will be read with interest
by the women of California and Of
the country at large. Singularly
enough, she gives the preference to
Japan over the European countries
she visited, and thinks that WASH
ington City is the noblest capital
she saw in her wanderings. This
is probably the first time that Paris
has found herself set behind the
"City of Magnificent Distances"

UNDER the caption Of "Unequal
Representation" we find the fol.
lowing in the Chronicle of Tuesday:
At the late election the vote of
Maine was u full Que. 1t was q
little below 10000. The vote of
California was aiso full. II was
probably 500 short of 100000 Yet
Maine has five Representatives. in
Congress to our four, though We
are in equity entitled to one more
member than Maine. Maryland,
with total vote of 1853, 700-the
highest ever polled in that s ate-
and Louisiana, with l60,900-her
highest vote-have each Six Repre-
septatives in Congress. The aveI-
age Congressional district in the
old Siat-s contains no more than
u, 300 voters. The average in CAL
ifnrnia Is 10000, and in this San
Francisco district we have over
5000 voters all told. 1t is true that
representation is based on the total
of representative population and
not on the voting power; and 1t is
also true that in the earlier years
Of California We had a much larger
proportion of voters to total popu
iation than any of the OLD States.
But we have In the course of thirl y
years outgrown this, aud reduced
the proportion to about what il Is
In any of the Western States. We
may therefore confidently reckon
upon a gain of at least two Con
gressmen after the census of 1880,
and that San Francisco will there-
after elect two Congressman.
The facts recIted in the above are
true. They are no whit more
striking, however, than the Other
fact that Los Angeles county, by
the ratio of voting population ano
by every other ratio, Is entitled t.
two Senators and four ssembly
men, instead of one Senator ant
two Assembly, men. That is the
m nimum proposition. The HER

THE notes of a revival of business
in California still continue to reach
US. In San Francisco matters are
steadily improving and the impetus
has reached Sacramento and most
of the interior cities. 1t cannot be
long in making itself felt here.
Meanwhile, our vineyardists are
getting twice the price for their
grapes which they were able to
command this time last year, wool

improvement extends even to bar

what dispensation the weather
