THERE is at the present time dispo-
sition amongst our people to remedy
some of the serious drawbacks under
which Los Angeles has so long labored
in the matter OF public buildings,
We have hitherto dwelt upon the extent
to which we are behind other counties
and cities of scarcely fifth of our pop
ulation, in this respect. A proper sexse
of local pride calls for the erection of a
suitable Court House. The credit of
the county is so high that whatever
money is needed can be readily
borrowed at a low rate of interest. Not
only sense of local pride, but the most
ordinary humanity as well, call for the
building of new Jail, which could be
readily combined with city hall. The
prisoners are now herded together in a
way which is utterly unworthy of a civil
lied people. The same accommodations
which were perhaps adequate to pop.
ulation OF six or seven thousand souls,
are now made to do duty for popula.
tion, in city and county, OF at least fifty
thousand. In agitating for new and
suitable public buildings the HERALD
merely responds to deep seated con.
viction amongst the great majority of
our people that it is time we should
shake off the last "reminiscences of our
grub life and emerge fearlessly into the
brilliant ehrysalis which awaits us.
While extravaganza is to be deprecated,
a penny wise and pound foolish policy
is equally to be avoided, By all means
give US q respectable Court House, City
Hall and Jail, Messieurs of the Board Of
Supervisors and City Council. Our peo-

OSE of the knottiest problems which
will exercise the Senate of California at
its approaching session will be to deter
mine the length of the term Of its mem-
bers. The new Constitution provides
that Senators from the even numbered
districts shall hold over. As there was
no new apportionment, however, there
can be neither odd nor even districts.
The present districts cannot by
any possibility remain the same
in the new apportionment OF Califor
MIA, The easiest and the only way
of getting over the difficulty is foi
the whole Senate to hold over,
and the HERALD will bet button
that that is just what will be
done With the election OF the nex'

I A German banker, for his services to
his Government in arranging loan, is
created baron, and prepares to take a
walk abroad accompanied by his son
and heir. According to custom the
young man respectfully takes his place
on his sire's left. "You may walk on
the right side," says the new baron,
ceremoniously; you have one titled
ancestor more than l." And as his heir
seems surprised at this statement, he
adds majestically, II am that titled an

tertained by many that be was muir

why he should take his own life. He was

Leon Gambetta.

Tho death OF Leon Gambetta sadly
reduces the number of Frenchmen now
in public life who, even by the oxtrome
of aattery, could be called statesmen.
Tho fiery spirits whom he once led, and
over whom, Of late. his influence began
to decline very sensibly, will now pass
almost without dispute under the con
troll of DR.. Clemenceau, an impetuous
and rash politician, whose principal dis.
tinction Is that he Is one OF the deadlies,
shots and best swordsmon in Europe.
For man whose name has been so much
bruited over tho world Gambetta's pub
lie career must be called failure. He
owed his asccndancy 70 the eloquent
and captivating harangues hs perpetu-
ally poured out against the second em-
piro, from 1859 down TO its fall. His
mastery Of an assemblage. popular and
legislative, in times Of great public ex-
citement, was tribute to an impnssionod
and persuasive oratory which recalls that
Of Mirabeau, at the close Of tho last
century. In fact, he resembled Mira
beau very much in the partial failure OF
his public career, in his efforts to con-
troll the unbridled spirits Of his party
and in his premature death at q time
when great hopes were clustering
around him. As member Of tke Di-
rectory which carried on the war against
Germany after the surrender at Sedan,
Cambetta showed himself to be thor
ough patriot. His flight in a
balloon from beleaguered Paris
to Rouen was one Of the
most sensational episodes OF the war.
His determined efforts to organize, on
the Loire, a successful resistance to the
invincible German invasion, reflected
honor upon him as man, but the Incl
dent was not such as to give him liked
place in history. The future historian
Of France will pass over hur-
riedly chapter in the annals Of
his country SO humihating to
the pride OF Frenchmen. II the cam.
paign of the Loire had averted the sur
render Of Paris, 0ambetta would have
boen covered with imperishable glory.
His other distinctions were confined to
presiding over the deliberations of the
Corps Legislatif, and to his having
formed a weak ministry, which held
Office scarcely a month. On the very
first trial of his strength in the Cham
bers, on his pet measure scrptin de

can France, was ingloriously defeated,
his resignation being the immediate
result. We see nothing in the career oi
Gambetta which will keep his name in
public remembrance. This was proba-
bly, his ill.luck rathor than his lack OF
statesmanlike qualities. 1t is impossi.
bic to believe that a man who aroused so
much enthusiasm and trust amongst the
best Republican elements of France
could have been mediocre politician,
thrust by his peculiar and persuasive elo.
quence to height to which his abilities
were not fitted. The 'wisest judgment
probably is that the great Frenchman
lacked opportunity "A very material

"Done !" quickly responded the good

their lines. The parson poured forth his
prayers in earnest, not forgetting to put
in word for the salvation of the souls

A Good Customer and How = Grocer
Lost His Trade.
Texas snting.I. ].


A family had recently moved into the
suburbs of Austin from the wilds OF
Arkansaw. The head of the family,
who was tall. thin man, afflicted with
red hair and the Arkansaw dialect, went
over to the nearest corner grocery to lay
in supply of family provisions.
"What are you quoting condensed
milk at per whole can ?" asked the
stranger, reaching down with one of his
paws and lifting quart of cranberries,
which he chucked one by one into his
open mouth during the pauses in the
conversation.
"Twenty-f five cents" replied the gro.
Ger, putting washboari over the top
of the cranberry barrel.
"Whew The price hasn't been con
densed much. Gimme half can for a
dime suppose you will throw in Il
piece OF soap as an inducement, and the
gentleman from Arkansaw took hand
tul OF brown sugar to mitigate the acid.
ity of the cranberries.
Don't sell half can OF milk. Be-
sides, if / did let you have hall can,
what would you put it in ?" growled the
grocer, looking savagely, as he clapped
the cover on the sugar barrel.
"Put it in. I'd take my half in the
can, of course. You could pour your
half of the milk into one Of those new
tubs, or into bottle. That's your look
out, and the stranger absent-mindedly
cut off generous slice OF cheese, and
then reached into the cracker barrel
The grocer covered up tle crackers,
fondlod the cheese knife in very sig
nifioant manner, and said with sneer
ing smile, referring probably to thu
crackers, cheese, sugar and cranberries

attempted to extricate piece of tobacco
from the box, remarking once more:
81 should think you would give me 0
can of condensed milk Just to allure
me"
He didn't finish, for the grocer, who
had been getting madder and madder,
actually did give him a can of condensed
milk, but he didn't wrap it up tor him,
and tie it with string, and ask him,
Nv hat else'" but gave it to him in an
of-hand careless sort of way, just be.
hind the ear. The generous grocer then
jumped over the counter to secure the
trade OF the stranger by giving him an
ax handle, but the stranger, without
waiting for further Inducements, made
another dive at the cranberries, and
passed out like q beautiful dream.
