The Board of Supervisors yesterday,
with wisdom for which we give it the
amplcst measure OF credit. adopted the
HERALp's idea of the Dan Stevens lot,
on Temple street, as the most eligible
site for the new Court House. In this
selection the overwhelming majority OF
our people go with them. As we have
repeatedly said, in the past, this lot com
bines centrality of location with n free
dom from the hurly-burly of our noisy
streets. In addition, it confirms the
center of business as il now stands, and
as it will probably stand for long time
to come. The true equilibrium, as re-
spects prospective developments, has
thus far been struck by our local legisla-
ture, while the convenience of people
from the country has been subserved in
a remarkable degree. Both the steam
and horse railways converge within an
easy radius of the site selected for the
new Court House, and nobody can well
dispute the wisdom of the action of the
Board. We presume that, upon its re-
assembling, it will confirm its action OF
yesterday.

ELSEWHERE appears an "0pen Letter"
from Mr.. }. DeBarth Shorb, of San Ma
rino. He evidently, in common with
District Attorney White and the editor
of the HERALD, thinks that the time has
come for o proclamation of his individ-
ual views as respects the present railway
situation. For our part, we were urged
to the perhaps immodest departure by
the fact that we believed the people were
restive, that we had earned the
right to interpolate their Commis'
sioners, and that the Commission
ers were honest and would respond
to the situation. We still believe that
they have intended to do right and we
want to know the exact facts. Our cor
respondent frankly Acknowledges, with
out avowing its incidents, that he has a
political ambition, which leads him to
declare himself on the living issues. He
fails to particularize his aspiration. We
are inclined to think that he will eventu-
ate as candidate for United States SEN
ator. For our part We initiate his frank
ness and avow the ambition to repre-.
sent the Sixth Congressional District in
the Congress of the United States. We
think it would be a happy conjuncture
for Southern California which would see
the granger of San Marino in the higher
branch and the editor of the HERALD in
the lower house of the Congress OF the
United States.

ONE Of the pleasant features Of the

articles on real estate which have ap.
pcared in that journal since its first issue
in May, 1881. In that issue, with a
boIdness which we often essay, and in
which we are never, by some happy cir
cumstance, mistaken, we stated that July
of 1881 would witness the rehabilitation
OF values in Los Angeles county, and
that thenceforth they would go forward
in n sort Of royal progress. In the issue
of the ILLUSTRATED HERALD of Septem-
ber lst, 1883, we have been enabled to
present table of real estate sales,
which, in period Of eighteen months,
foots up within a triiiing fraction of
eleven million dollars, all within the

The work of burying the dead has been
