SAYS the San Francisco Examiner :
"This city must be cleaned, cost what
it may" 1t would appear to the aver.
age outsider that tho Augean task
which Hercules proposed to himself was
child's plny to tho job of cleaning the
city Of the Golden Gate. Though her
people reek in wealth, they are not will
ing to surrender a dollar, either to pro-
vide proper sewerage or to beautify
the town in which they have made
their wealth. What disgusting spec.
tacle is presented in this metropolis Of
the western side Of the western world :
Its pinched and puny park can only be
reached over roadways which would dis
grace any Comanchc village. All over
California there is too much of ten
dency to take everything and return
nothing. While the thousands of visit
ing Sir Knights were delighted with the
hospitality cordial and spontaneous as
1t was-of the San Franciscans, they
were disgusted with the streets and
sidewalks Of that city. Their procession
was, in truth, penitential progress,
while tho march to the unveiling Of the
Garfield statue in the Golden Gate Park
was an agony. The most antique and
dilapidated village on the American con-
tinent exceeds the Queen of the Pacific
in the matter Of streets and sidewalks.
This all results from q sordid at
tachment 10 the Almighty Dol
lar. 1t is called economy, and many
people babblo about the necessity Of
municipal rctrenchment and reform,
while, in truth, they are merely playing
into the hands OF sordid property own
ers, who want TO exact the pound OF
flesh and return nothing. A pestilence
would be Just visitation ON San Fran.

tary precautions, but such calamities,
by satire Of fate, are always visited
upon tho heads of the innocent. In.
fanis and the poor are made TO pay the
penalty for the parsimony If the rich,
who can laugh at defective sewers, and
who roll over bad streets reclining ON
springs which make bad roadways mere
ly an agony to the horses which draw
their luxurious carriages, and who, in
addition, have the sovereign privilege of
going elsewhere when cessation of the
trade-winds, which have heretofore been
tho salvation of San Francisco, threat
ems pestilence aud death. The Erdm.
iner, in urging tho cleansing of the city
in which ii is published, is doing both a
| wise and patriotic thing, but it ought to
90 further and demand the placing of
San Francisco on a plano with other
and less wealthy metropolitan cities as

THE writer of the highly interesting
sketch entitled "Outdoor Industries in
Southern California, (which appeared in
the last number of the Century maya
zine, while describing with considerable
pictorial skill, all the processes of wine
making, says that the California wines
just now are not held in great estima-
tion, though they are destined to make
their way in public favor. In this
matter the Century'S contributor is
utterly wrong, The wines Of California
have been steadily gaining in the appre-
citation of connoisseurs; and many of
them, especially the ports and angelicas,
are equal, with the same age, to any
similar brands made on the footstool,
This writer has evidently been misled by
having sampled wines sold in the East
under California labels which herea-
bouts are known as "Sheepherders De
light" As a matter OF fact, in many
a1ootcih titics htN anu CTuut thlllOf1llh
wines, which are purchased in this
State at thirty cents gallon, are
retailed at Sl.50 bottle, Any one who
should form his judgment of our yintages
after sampling this execrabe stuff would
of course have n poor opinion of our
wines. As matter of fact, California
bon cirants, for years past, have volun-
tarily elected to drink the California
product in preference to the imported
staples. While we have not yet at
tanned the high standard of the best
Bordeaux wines, fair article of Califor-
mia manufacture is infinitely superior to
the lower grades of French clorets and
Sauternes, while our hooks already
rival the wines of the Rhine and the
Moselle.

WE VENTURE upon final appeal TO
our grangers and vineyardists to make
the agricultural and horticultural depart

sending representatives of the yield of
the farm and vineyard from all portions
of the county. After oil is said and
done, great deal win depend upon in
dividual effort. However Jealous the
officials of the District Agricultural
Society may be, they cannot do every
thing. Let every producer Gull from his
fields and granaries the best specimens
of Natures handiwork during the past
season and send them to the Fair. If
this is done IL cannot fail to be great
success. We should have no half
hearted demonstration this year.

city, which is progressive in everything
but in municipal matters. I'VE throw
out these reflections tentatively as mat
ters for tho careful consideration of the

veyed in them will be utilized at the

Fearful Rnvages of yellow Fever

San FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.-Letters now

points in Mexico, show that not half the
truth has been told of the ravages Of the
yellow fever In those unfortunate cities

death and burial. For the last week
the deaths have averaged more than

charcoal. The body will be placed in
it, herme,ically sealed and buried at an

n bad turn, and doubts Of his recovery
are entertained. The remaining three
are still doing well. No new cases have
developed aboard the steamer, nor has
any sign OF the disease made its appear

have taken every precaution. II the

The following observation, taken
from the columns OF tho San Francisco
Post, is meat but not CANDY"
Daniel Lewis, who committed suicide
at Linden, was q delegate to the Con
stitutional Convention, and went insane
shortly after the adjournment of that
body. Judging by the way the con.
stitution is panning out, good many of
the delegates must have gone insane be.
lore the convention adjourned.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-10-05

THE HERALD, at intervals during the
past six months, has suggested that Los
Angeles has ut last reached a point at
which very large municipal expenditures
are inevitable The work of years of
the past--of decades, we might almost
say has been thrown upon the present.
II cannot be shirked much longer. The
time is bound to arrive, and that soon,
when public clamor will call for at least
two or three properly paved streets and
sidewalks. Some progress, of late years,
has been made as to sidewalks through
the liberality of individual citizens, but
it is without plan or continuity or any
thing like reasonable extent Main
and Spring streets should be paved and
side-walked, the former at least to the
Washington Gardens In tho Summer
we have dust heaps, and in the Winter,
duriag the rains, we have reproductions
of the great Serbonian bog OF old,
where of right ought to have been
streets. In the East n man buys lot in
city, and is Immediately obliged to
provide for sidewalks and streets of the
most improved modern methods. He
owns il for five or six years and sells it
for the same amount he paid for it, or
perhaps for less. Here the case is won
derfully different. The purchaser, in
many instances, finds that his lot has
enhanced in value from Hundred to
five hundred per cent, in few years,
and he has not, in all probability, put
.up dollar for the public convenience.
Why should Angelenos be exempt from
the common lot of humanity! 1t is just
as certain as that the night will succeed
the day that from five hundred thousand
to a million dollars will have to be spent,
during the next two years, on public inn
provements. The question is, who will
supervise its disbursement The tax
payer will have to confront the situa-
tion, and he may as well, first as last,
make up his mind to take hand in sea-
ing that these things are done rightly.
The policy of locking the stable door
after the horse is stolen is a poor one.
An honest municipal 'boss" to-day
would be God.send to our young and
growing city. The "boss' is certain to
be evolved under existing conditions. The
thing is to see that he shall prove to be
of the right stripe. A boss who should
combine honesty with intelligence would
be boon to our young and growing

ers of bonds issued by the State OF
