and to Pasadena by the Arroyo Seso.
Another should be made to Santa
Monica. In the famous Alameda Of San
Jose we can find the exact model of the
kind Of drives the City Council and the
Board Of Supervisors should unite In
securing to our people. No doubt the
existence of this matchless drive has
beon largely instrumental in bringing
about the settlement Of San Jose by
wealthy and refined class Of people. A
place, no matter how small it may be, Ia
not provincial as long as its inhabitants
can meet In multidues and enjoy some Of
the gaieties Of life. There is absolutely
no street In Los Angeles ON which such
reunions could be held. In the whole
stretch Of our thoroughfares, Jumped
together, there nre not three miles Of
good roadbed, and these patches are so
scattered a. not to be available. There
Is but one way to meet the difficulty,
and that is by making the roads and
planting the trees, even though. from
past neglect, considerable expenditure
Of money should be involved. The
longer this salutary new departure is
postponed the bigger the job in hand
will be.

The good work OF opening streets in
this city is making some headwsy, yet
much remains to be done before our
psople .san claim that they have met
the situation in the proper spirit. As
the case stands to-day, there are more
thoroughfares leading nowhere and
winding up in veritable cul de sacs in
Los Angeles than in any place OF cor
responding size with which we are
familiar. The present is the acceptable
time for Strengthening out these irregu-
Iarities. 1t is crying shame that nei-
'ther in Los Angeles nor in its neighbor
,hood is there a single good drive. In
this regard we are unique amongst all
the cities Of the Coast. In San Jose,
Sacramento, Oakland and other places
great pride il taken in making smooth
and pleasant thoroughfares, aligned
with trees. Although Angelehos are
notably well to do, and are being daily
recruited by men Of means, we seem to

The last issue of the Western Ware
appeared as an illustrated paper. 1t
contained two cartoons. supposed to be
companion pictures, and labeled the
"Mill and the STILL" Tho first repre-.
sented q total abstainer who was sur
rounded by his family. Everything was
smiling and cheerful in this illustration,
although the figures were frightfully out
Of drawing. This charming domestic
scene was the outcome of the mill. The
second cut was devoted to giving picto-
rial realism to the ferocity Of drunkard,
who was engaged in Draining his wife
and children with q three.legged stool.
1t is to be supposed that he succeeded in
accomplishing the destruction of his
household in fine style. Thus the still
got in its deadly lick. The moral was,
of course, that men who drink alcoholic
beverages murder their wives and chill
aren. To some people II would seem
that some more rational form Of advo.
eating temperance could be found than
this wild nonsense. Only short time
ago the man Smith, who was total alb
stainer and even vegetarian, killed his
son under circumstances Of great atrocity
in the southern portion Of Los Angeles
county, yet no advocate of moderate in
dulgence in alcoholic liquors would think
of ascribing the guilt of this wretch to
his failure to drink wine and beer, or
even the blood.curdling whisky and
brandy. The probability is extreme
that, if Smith had been a moderate con-
sumer OF the good things Of this world,
he would have had better digestion;
and. consequently, his brain would not
have been teeming with the revolving su-
perstitions that ultimately imbruted him
and led him to the commission OF his un-
natural crime. A strong argument, in
deed, can be made against intemperanos
of all kinds-alike against the intemper-
ance Of compulsory total abstinence and
of impoderato indulgence-but we doubt
very much if anything eau be gained by
insulting people and falsiiyins facts. Ii
one should take the trouble to collect
the list of cold.blooded and horrible
crimes committed by people who never
warmed their blood by drop of genial
wine 1t would fill volumes, and whenac-
cumulated would prove nothing against
a moderate temperance, just as the afro.
cities OF drunken brutes proves nothing
against the great army of self respecting
and law-abiding moderate drinkers.

u an advocate Of Titz.John Porter, but
1t the same time an enemy OF Grant and
opposed to Grants replacement on the

Of Grant would be wrong. but makes the
startling suggestion that, even though

ing not calculated to benefit the morals
Of community. We believe that Grant

should be kept where he is. but we would
not advocate the reinstatement OF Porter
In order that our wishes towards Grant
might bo gratifisd, because that would
simply amount to saying that two wrongs
make one right. San Francisco Post.
VIZ think that our esteemed San Fran.
cisco contemporary takes rather strained
view Of the article which appeared In
the HERALD on this matter. II was de-
signed to show the advisability Of re-
pairing the very great injustice which
had been done to Gen. Porter rather than
70 concede the claims of Grant. There
would BE- nothing absolutely against good
morals in putting Grant on the retired
list as General Of the Army. II would
be bad policy and in every way inexpe-
dent to yield to that greedy soldiers
clamors, which rival in strident cadence
those Of the horse leech's daughter. but
II would involve no downright crime.
On the other hand, the long denial Of
Justice to Gen. Porter, in the opinion Of
the immense majority Of the people Of
the United States, is continuous wrong
done to that gallant soldier and gentle
man which rises to the gravity of an
actual outrage. On the fullest consider.
alton Of the matter, we would rather see
Grant get away with his plumber than
consent to the continuance Of the injus-
tice 10 Porter for another calendar month.
The partizan malice which has been
wreakcd upon him should be repaired at
once. Let us hope that in doing this
work of long deferred reparation it may
not be necessary to throw SO much as an
obulus to the modern Belisarius.

riding. In the evening there were Christmas
trees at the vestries of the Methodist and
Universalist churches and at the school house

was presented with a Christmas gift. The
children at the Industrial school had merry
time, being remembered by the many friends
of the school who sent in large quantity of
gifts for their Christmas tree.

GOVERNOR BUTLER
Declines to Pardon Hathaway, the Fall
River Embezzler.

BosToN. Dee. &c.
Gov. Butler has declined to pardon Geo.
H. Hathaway, the Fall River embezzler, now
serving a sentence in the State prison. In
his decision as submitted to the council, Gov.
Butler says, referring to the claim of Hatha-
way's friends, that his defalcations were made
to help S. Angler Chace out of his difficulty;
that he is convinced that Chace was the
tempter and not the tempted. Admitting
that Chace secured $3.50. 900 from Hathaway.
what did the latter do with the remaining
$500, 900 or $500, 900 which is unaccounted
for? If Hathaway had only taken $3.50, 200
there might be ground for executive elem
ency.
He concludes: regret to come to the
conclusion to which l have come. have
given the subject very anxious thought. and
am relieved in so doing in some degree
from the fact that the application of Hatha-
way may be renewed to my successor. and
then perhaps this unexplained defalcation
upon which am obliged to refuse the pres
ent application may be so far explained that
my own decision, if had to make one, would
be changed, and to compel the judgment of

dered the following verdict: "Came to his
death by neglect caused by liquor"
Gouljng, the father, received gallon of
whiskey Friday night. The jug containing
it was produced at the inquest and only a
part of tumbler full remained. This was
on table in the room where the inquest was
being held and Mr.. Goulding coolly took and
drank it. Mr.. and Mrs. Goulding seemed
quite Indifferent about the affair and ap-
peared to think the inquest was rather an
afront. Mr.. Goulding is Scotchman and
head dyer in the Guilford wooden mills and
has family of five children. Mrs. Goulding
testified that she fed whiskey to the children
for their health.
