The inaugural message of Mayor Grace. OF
New York city, Is pointed and business like
and II he will carry out the policy mapped out
his administration will prove a success. He
declares his purpose to keep vigilant eye upon
public expenditures and to prevent the payment
OF illegal or excessive claims, one or the means
through which the city has been defrauded OF
millions OF dollars. He insists that the depart.
mentS shall confine their disbursements and
expenditures to the sums appropriated for
them, respectively, and that deficiency bills
must not be allowed hereafter. He suggests
more efficient STRENGTHENING system, and points
out other improvements that can be made. It
Is probable that no mayor OF that city ever
entered upon the discharge OF his duties under
more inauspiciOu5c circumstances, or with greater
difficulties to confront, but these surroundings
are such as to bring out the qualities OF the
right kind Of man. The press of the city. of all
parties, has s1gnifed to Mr.. Grace that he can
have its support In enforcing the policy out
lined In his message, and 1t is to be hoped he
has the courage necessary to carry it out.

Every now and then we have request to
announce changes Of residence, &c, by physic-
ians, In our news columns as 1t would be IN.
professional for them to advertise the fact. We
answer that 1t would be unprofessonal In US to
give this sort OF gratuitous advertising. 1t would
appear that according to medical etiquette 1t is
only unprofessional to pay for advertising. 1t
seems strange that body OF men as sensible as
the medical fraternity should keep up these
absurd rules. Why should not the doctor who
Is changing his residence, or who Is making a
q ecialty of some branch Of practise, advertise
ne fact for the Information OF the public and
for tl.s own benefit, and pay for the adyer-
tisement like man? In all other occupations
1t Is consid red entirely proper that this sort of
Information sh.,uld be advertised why should
the medical profession be an exception?

that the depredatlons OF the
Apaches were not half 20 destruc-

prominent Mexican rancher arrived
In this city to-day with the view Of
purchasing twenty stands Of arms
to defend his property. He stated
that II something was not done BY
the American Government to pre-
vent these American marauders
from invading their homes, serious
complications must very soon
arise. It appears that these cattle
thieves are largely made up Of the
same bands who gave SO much
trouble on the Rio Grands some
years ago. The cattle men Of south.
eastern Arizona are also losing
much stock from the same source.

A DRIVE Of some twenty miles
yesterday over the Laguna ranch,
And - the line Of Downey City.
showed 10 that that portion Of Los
Angslss county at least has not
snAsrsd and is not suffering from
ehe delayed rains. The grass is
lush and green and bids fair, with
ost additional rains, to assure an
inmsnss amount Of feed. As very
eopleus rains are prob ably just upon
Tie point Of falling-that is to say,
ct the outside In ten days-we
may look for unusually prolific
eseps throughout the range Of the
Los Angeles valley. In our trip
~ passed great spreads Of barley,
al Of which look remarkably we'll,
with che exception that the volun-
tser barley ID = tribe rank. The
viger Of Mr.. Bells corn crop Of the
past year on the Laguna ranch
was fully attssted by the immense
size OF the stalks, which were
scattered about on every hand.
For . spread Of refreshing green,
with abundant lakslets, commend
us 70 the Laguna ranch. We
sheuld say that an unusual acreage
has been sown to barley in tho sec.
ton south Of the city. and we are
glad Of It. Unless we are greatly
mistaken, the demand for this
staple from st. Louis and Milwau.
HE will, this year, be decided. We
can grow barley Of the right quail
ity and all that 10 needed 10 that
fair rates Of transportation shall be
conceded 10 our people by the rail-
ways. OF this concession we have
no doubt.

FLOODED murder cit, like new and
modern Lords Of Misruls, over the
right Of the citizen to life itself.
The system IL Vicious. 1t IL alb
surd. It 10 an anachronlsm and an
insult to the intelligence Of the
ninsteenth century. It should be
radically modified. In the constl.
tuition Of . jury high intelligence
and sympathetic eonversance with
the affairs Of the world should be
sought, not rspelled. And when
the intelligent and live jury
has been once secured, verdict OF
q majority ought to be conclusive.
II We keep on in the line of Gush
and Nonsense on which We have
entered, the time is not distant
when
Chaos will umpire sit,
And, by decision, more embroil the fray.
Why, in everything but that
which relates to law, should the
American people be sensible and
progressive, and in that only be
stationary, II not reactlonary?
There 10 no earthly reason for this
solecism of reason and justice, out
side.of the fine spun subtleties of
the able and ingenious gentlemen
who call themselves counselors at
law.
