ings to learn how far granulation
has proceeded. The most favor
able signs are the fall of tempera-
ture to normal and the lessening of
the frequency of the pulse. This is
thoroughly safe criterion. In.
creased strength and the sub-
sidence of blood poisoning stand
together with improved power of
digestion and ability to sleep
soundly. His mental sounduess
and cheerfulness affords solid
grounds for hope of recovery. The
case is q striking illustration of the
power Of good constitution to
hold up against an illness that
would certainly have killed fee-
bier person. But another failure
in the Presidents digestive powers
or symptoms of blood-poisoning
might at any time turn the balance
against him. and what we have
hitherto insisted upon SO often We
are bound to repeat, that President
Garfield will not be out of danger
until the wound is healed.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1881-09-03

AN urgent demand exists in Ar
izona for plenty of good, dead In
dians-for Indians deader than
door nails. 1t will be seen, by ref :
erence to our Tucson dispatches,
that Gen. Carr, seven other officers
and one hundred and ten men of
the United States army, have been
massacred by the White Noun
tain Apaches. The tactics which
Gen. Phil Sheriden applied to the
Piegans, viz, killing the whole
tribe, ought to be applied to these
red devils. AS matters of fact,
they eumber the earth and could
only be made useful as fertilizers.
Meanwhile Arizona's absurd Gov
ernor John G. Fremont, is on a
ct stock-jobbing expedition in the
East. For years Arizona has been
cursed by incompetents both at the
head of her military and civil de-
partments, although Gen. Crook
was notable exception to the rule
and Gen. Wilcox may prove him.
self to be another.

THE rate at which buildings are
going up on every hand in Los An
geles must impress visitors with a
pretty good idea of the vitality OF
this city. The man who bought
property hereabouts last year was
wise indeed. He who shall buy it
before the Fall fairly sets in will,
we opine, congratulate himself
next Spring. Believing that prop.
erty bought here at present marke
rates Is the best investment on the
American continent, why should
we not say SO? That others are of
our opinion is shown by the many
purchases which have been record
ed during the past three or four
months, and by the numerous inn
provements which are under way,
no matter in what direction one
turns. The pleasant thing about
1t all is the steady progress
