SOME Democratic journals are pleased to pub
lish extracts from General Logan's speeches
made before the war. That is well. Logan was
red-hot Democrat then, and rejected the
sentiment of the Democracy of that day. But
he has grown away from it its natural results
developed in time to turn him into the right
path, and he is therefore the very best kind OF a
Rennbliean-one from conviction.

Our esteemed contemporary, the San

haye got over its tariff scare, and no
longer looks upon Bill Morrison as a
bugbear horrent enough to drive it into
convulsions. In its last issue it says.
Morrison has killed himself by his

abortion decent recognition, they will
kill their chances of that party winning
the Presidency. The bill will die still
born, however. 1t has no friends out.

importers. Its passage would be injur-
ions to every laboring man in the Uni

The fact is that the tariff question,
while it will unquestionably assume
great importance in the near future, is
an artificial issue as to the approaching
Presidential election, and cannot he in
vested with the Importance Col. Morri
son and several other Democra try tt
throw around it. The questions OF re
forming the national administration tn,
punishment and exposure of oifieia

that the tariff question ought to be ad

HIDDEN SORROW.

Oh tears,--thAt are yelling. and swelling.
Till soon they will break their confines.
And, In secret. dcIugc some pillow,
Seen only by ons that's divine.
There are many who tread lifes pathway,
With gayness that's all assumed,
To hide from the world the deep sorrow.
That's shrouding their soul rith its sloom;
Many who faniish with heart-hunger.
That can never be satisfied.
For the mamma which kindness brinxs'h.
For ever to them Is denied.
Oh. could ye but know all the sorrow.
Deeprooted and eating its way,
Down into the depths Of souls ~ pure,
As given to human clay;
You would chill with q sick ming feeling.
Such as sympathy sometime knows,
And pray for help, though none ye would give
To hearts crushai with bitter woes.

By Indifferent looks OF harsh words,
For winds may Li whispering round you.

PROPERTY HOLDERS in Los Angeles are
now face to face with difficulty which
was always anticipated by the more sa-
gacious of our citizens. A flood which
would cause the Los Angeles river to
break through its banks was always sim.
ply question of time-of a few years,
more or less. This danger, which is liza.
BILE to occur at any moment, would have
far more disastrous consequences now
than in former years first, because the
population has become more dense and
secondly because the bed OF the river
has been getting higher steadily through
the deposition of sand and detritus from
the mountains. As consequence the
line OF future floods, il the situation is
lett as it stands now, will be along
Chavez atreet to Alameda, and thickly
settled and valuable portion OF the city
will be greatly damaged. The liERALD's
frequent suggestion that levee which
could also be converted into handsome
aud ornamental boulevard should be con.
strueted on this side Of the river will
have to be adopted unless we desire to
see the present disaster repeated period
ically. A well rhacadamized road,
aligned by double avenue OF pepper
and eucalyptus trees, and which should
be sufficiently high and strong to control
the current Of the river under all circum.
stances, would be the best investment
the municipality of Los Angeles could
make, and it is one which will ultimate,
~ have to be made. While OR this mat
ter it is exceedingly foolish to build

An English View of the French
Vintage.
leeds Mercury, January lth.

leeds Mercury, January 4thl
The returns of the French vintage OF
1883 are suggestive. The total produc.
ton of wines was 793 millions of gallons,
and though it was the largest of the last
few years, it was less than one-half the
production of 1875. which reached the
enormous total of | ,Si5 millions of gal.
Ions. The phylloxera, for which no
remedy has yet been discovered, ac-
counts for much of the decline OF recent
seasons; but the acreage devoted to vine
culture in 1883 was ), 240, 600, against
6,053, 600 i'll 1875. Our neighbors, how
ever are doing good deal of
"doctoring' to make up the deficiency
in their "wine" supply. Italian and Span.
ish wines are the principal ingredients,
and the imports of foreign wines have
grown from an average of l5,400, ,00O
gallons in the five years lSI3-sS to l74, ).
O00, 900 in 1888. By the help of water,
sugar, lees and dried raisins, $4,000, ,000
gallons were further added. French
wines, therefore, must now offer pleas.
ing variety, even as imported; and when
English "doctoring" is added TO the
French, much of the "claret" served for
English tables might we'll deserve some
other name. French CONSUMERS" seem
to be consoling themselves largely with
cider, which is retained for home con-
sumption, to the extent of $1,000, ,000
gallons last year, or at the rate Of some
fourteen or fifteen gallons per head Of
the population.
