GUITEAU seems to attract very
little public attention lately, the
Suliivan-Ryan prize fight having
completely eclipsed the glamour
which the assassin had thrown
around the press and the public.
He Is occasionally heard from
when some foolish woman writes
him q gushing epistle, and he is
said to be doing thriving retail
business by the sale of his auto.
graphs and photographs. 1t would
probably be impossible to treat
Guitsau In a manner other than 10
observed with other convicted
murderers, but 1t does seem to us
that ordinary prison rules ought to
suffice TO prevent this misereant
frem holding daily levee In the
District of Columbia Jail. Certain
ly these officials are not paid to
act as ushers to murderer, and
they might properly decline to so
act. When 8 criminal like Gui-
teau is allowed to see his relatives
and legal advisers he has been &C.
corded all the grace which the
most humane laws ought to afford
him. The United States Marshal
for the District, it seems to US,
ought to have the power of putting
q stop to this sickening lionizing
of the assassin and in doing SO ne
would violate no requirement of
humanity.

THE extensive region at the base
Of our mountains is most admira-
bly, adapted for planting the fruits
OF the temperate zone. Peaches,
pears, apples, apricots, etc., will
grow there to great perfection.
Several Of our public spirited nur.
serymen have already carried their
plantations pretty well up towards
the foothills, Mr.. II. J. Crow, In
particular. on the Verdugo ranch,
having shown how admirably tn Q
peach and other temperate zone
fruits may be made to flourish in
Los Angeles county. When the
real capabilities OF these foothill
lands come to be fully understood,
there will be numerous canneries
established In their neighborhood
and the canned fruits of California
will stand higher In the estimation
Of the world than has ever been
dreamed Of, high as their standing
IL now. There is future ahead
for every man Of means who will
set out extensive peach, pear and
apple orchards at the base of eur
Mountains and put the fruit up In
cans Tor shipment. It lie o business
that really cannet be overdone
nnd that will be highly remunsra-
tive after the first few years.

The Grandest Railroad Bridge in
America.

Recently We came over the line
of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail-
road to the end OF the track, which
is now at Canon Diablo, 3l2 miles
west of Albuquerque, and about
100 miles northeast of Prescott.
We were informed by Mr.. John M.
Price, one Of the nine Prices who
figure prominently in the construc.
ton of the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad, and in charge of the $40
men employed on the bridge work,
that the span will be exactly 54e
feet, and the height from the
foundation to the steel rail 225.
There are "a pedestals running
from Z to 35 feet, with two aout-
ments 46 feet wide and Is feet high.
The iron columns which rest upon
the pedestals are from IL to 100
feet high. Mr.. Price. who has had,
great experience in building
bridges, pronounces this work as
substantial as any in the United
States, so that there will not be
the least danger in passing over it
the heaviest laden freight cars.
The iron for the bridge is all
wrought iron of huge proportions.
The entire cost of this gigantic
work will not fall short of three.
feurths of million dollars. The
bridge is to be completed and rails
laid for the passage of the loco.
motive May /, 1882. Five miles
west of Canon Diablo is still an
other large bridge under construc-
ton, which will span Pedro Cation.
This werk Is under Mr.. Joshua
Price, a veteran railroad contract
or. Mr.. Price is managing this
work with skill, and will have it
completed before the first OF April.
The Canon Diablo bridge will
not only be the highest, but one
Of the most substantial on the Con-
tinent. The San Francisco noun
tain, which is snow capped for eight
or nine months in the year, Is
nearly $4,000 feet high, and inhab.
tied by elk, deer, antelope and
wild turkey; while off to the west
100 miles, the travel will come on
to the Colorado with Its chasm q
mile and q quarter below the sur.
rounding country. Nature has
given us these wonders and now
art has finished the touch by build.
Ing highway over csfIens which
make the head whirl and becoms
dizzy in beholding them. The
scenery between the Little and
Great Colorado, q distance of 200
miles, will surpass that of any

nent, and will have the effect to

1T Is pleasant to know that the
House of Representatives has de-
cided to appropriate SIS, 900 for the
Improvement of Wilmington Har-
Dor. 1t is true that this is only
half what we asked for but it is
$4,000 more than the last sppro.
priatioD, and on the principle that
half loaf is better than no bread
1t will be cordially accepted by our
people. 1t will simply make it
necessary that We shall again call
upon Congress when the $4,000
appropriation has been exhausted,
for the sum originally demanded is
absolutely essential for the compile
tion Of this valuable sch eme of
public improvements. As Con-
gress seems disposed, however, to
dole out appropriations piece.meal,
we must needs submit. Our peo-
pie are under obligations to many
Congressmen outside of our own
State for valuable assistance in
this matter and the debt will not
be forgotten should an occasion
arise by which we can show our
gratitude.

IT IL seldom that q man is !

IT is seldom that man is per-
mitted to read his own obituary,
but this privilege was enjoyed by
Signor Alessandro Reppetto In
Los Angeles yesterday. The live
~ genius of Dion Beucicault has
invented a corpse In the Shaugh-
raun who, at his own wake, In.
sists on getting out of his ceffin,
kicking the candles over and
claiming his share of the funeral
whisky. Mr.. Reppetto was not
put In his ceffin, it il true, but all
the Italians and Basques OF Los
Angeles had him duly dead and
ready fer burial yesterday, and
everything was propitious for an
old fashioned wake when the 275
pounds avoirdapois OF the stalwart
sheep man were seen marching
down our streets at an athletic
Face. The HERALD honored him
with . long obituary and he at
least has had the satisfaction of
knowing just about what will be
Baid OF him when be does shuttle

THE attempt to assassinate
Queen Victoria has been made the
medium of several graceful COM
pliments between the governments
Of the United States and Great
Britain, as ought to have been the
case, especially in view of the
womanly and queenly record
made by highlands sovereign in
our own troubles. A reporter OF
the New York Sun waited upon
O'Donovan Rosa and asked him
whether McLean's attempt had its
inspiration from Fenian sources.
Az to that question Rosa declined
to commit himself, but he added
that no Irish Americans would
countenance the crime. In this
he was entirely right. Our Irish
fellow citizsns have nothing but
condem nation for such outrages.
1t is' now pretty plainly developed
that Mclean is lunatic, pure and
simple.

TIE decision of the Supreme
Court declaring the Sunday law
constitutional reveals the fact that
that tribunal IL very closely bal
anced on the question; and that,
were the point to arise on new
statute, the decision would be
against the validity of such al act.
Chief Justice Morrison, Justices
Myrick, Thornton and Mckee, a
majority of one, sustained the old
statute, passed before the adoption
of the new Constitution, while JUS
tices McKinstry, Sharpstein and
Ross dissented. In considering
this decision, regard must be had
to the attitude of Judge Myrick-
one of the four affirming Justices
but who, In the bakers act, passed
since the adoption of the new Con-
stitution, decided such legislation
to be In violation of the provisions
of that instrument. All that is
needed, therefore, lie for an agita.
ton which shall result in the re.
peal of the Sunday law. That once
accomplished, we are warranted in
assuming, from the attitude of the
Judges, that a similar law, passed
hereafter, would be held to be void
Here is a capital opening for the
League of Freedom. They should
press all their energies to the point
of obtaining this repeal. We think
that We eau promise them the
hearty cooperation of the Demo
cratic party in the good work.

VIXEN great quantities of o.

WHEN great quantities Of Or
aDge trees were being set out in
Los Angeles county, five and six
years ago, there was great out
cry in certain quarters. 1t was
held that the thing was being
overdone, and that the market
would soon be glutted. AS mat
ter of fact, however, the market is
~ ready to-day to take all the good
oranges which are offered as 1t was
six years ago. Fair prices have in
every case been realized by those
of our orchardists who have been
careful to plant nothing but fruit
Of approved excellence. In that
line the market can never be
overdone.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR

PRESIDENT ARTHUR whose
personnel has been the subject Of
much discussion hersabouts, OIL
late, Is said to be very large,
handsome man, of quite elegant
manners and bearing. He is said
to be marked contrast, in respect
to statelinsss and grace of deport-
ment, to the Western men who
have for the past twenty years oc-
cupied the White House. AT least
the New York newspapers are fond
Of ringing all the changes on this
asserted fact. With all his ster.
ling worth Mr.. Lincoln was a very
awkward and even gawky man
personally, Andy Johnson be-
lenged to the bluff, rough and
ready Western type, while Gen.
Grant was conceded by every one
to have been the veriest clown
from q social point of view. Ruth
erford B. Hayes was the laughing
stock of his own party during h is
occupancy of the White House,
while poor Garfield was not its in
cumbsnt long enough for the fash
ionables and the newspaper CORES
pondents to get his gauge as q
host. The immediate predecessor
OF the Republican Presidents, Mr..
Buchanan, WAS personally aud So
cially one Of the most elegant aud
kingly men that ever played Pres
idential host. When Minister to
the court of st. James he left an
impression upon the aristecratic
circles into which be was thrown
that has never since been attained
by any American. Though he de-
clined to wear a court dress his SUI
perb form-he was six feet and TIVE
inches high-loomed up as that of
q King of men amidst all the titled
and highly descended diplom ats.
However, q man may be courtly
and kingly, may be fascinating In
manners and impre ssivs in ply
sique, without making a popular
President, as Buchanan had occa-
sion to learn, to his cost, and as
President Arthur may find out, in
his turn.
