Good Roads a Necessity.

The probability is that Los Angeles
county contains to-day from sixty to
sixty-fve thousand inhabitants. The
city of Los Angeles is the legitimate
trading center OF this large population.
As a matter of fact Angelehos in all Sec
tions OF the county are eager and willing
to do business here. That they are
largely prevented from doing so, or from
doing as much as they otherwise would,
by the state of the roads is unquestiona'
BILE. People OF sense decline to drive
over interminable quagmires and chuck
holes, save when they are absolutely
obliged to do so. AS consequence, as
few trips as possible are made to the
city. A granger who would gladly visit
us twice a week makes it convenient to
get here only once week or once fort
night. We have no doubt that, through
this cause alone, our business men lose
fully Thousand dollars day. The
question is how long shall we submit
to this nuisance and even positive in
jury? There can be no earthly doubt
shat loss, if not as large as we have
suggested, still most material one, is
suffered by our people. The remedy
lies in our own hands. We ought to
have the roads and reasonable cxpendi.

mean comfort, ornament and prosperity.
They will cost money but we will find

Board of Supervisors and the City Coun-
Gil ought TO adopt some common plan OF
action. The city covers an area of a
little less than twenty-five square miles,
and without going out OF its limits, q
great deal of street and road making will
have to be done. There are certain
leading thoroughfares that ought to be
treated even within the municipal Limits

Monica, the San Gabriel valley, vii

portions OF the county. Concert of ac

While we are sensible that the topic
is not an exciting one and does not ad
nit of much fine writing, we conceive
that the HERALD codld render no more
important service to the people of botI
the city and county of Los Angeles,
than in compelling action in the matter
of roads. Constant dropping, we are

Rates of Fare.

Many travellers Of America who are
frightened at the 500 fare from San
Francisco to New York, distance
reaching across the country and who
compare this with the much less amount
which will carry one across France or
England, forget the difference in dis
tance. While it is true that the pas.
senger rates ON some railroads in this
country are undoubtedly exorbitaut in
some cases, yet the average rate for all
the lines-S2. 80 for 100 miles is much
less than the average for similar travel

The IBOnded Liau0r BIli.

WAsHiSoToE. ID. c., March 2O.-The
House went into Committee OF the
Whole. Dorsheimer In the Chair, ON the
bonded liquors extension bill. Its fea-
lures were explained by Willis, who de
clared that failure to pass the bill meant
bankruptcy and ruin TO many Of tho most
important and Influential firms in Ken
lucky and throughout the West; II meant
bankruptcy and ruin, not only to manu-
facturers, but to innocent holders Of
whisky; it meant bankruptcy and ruin
TO many of the leading banking interests
of the West. There had been
shrinkage in grain and stocks
in the last few years, amounting to bill
lions OF dollars; there hn1 been shrink
age of $4,000, 900 in the value of this
warehoused property. England. one of
the great purchasers OF our grain, had,
during the last year, supplied itself from
India with one third Of all the grain
she needed, and il was predicted
that, in less than three years, she
would be independent OF the Uni
ted States. What would become
of the hundreds of millions OF bushels of
grain raised in this country which was
not consumed in England? If this bill
failed and II these distilleries closed and
the demand is cut down, the time weuld
come again when farmers would burn
corn for fuel in the Western States.
Blount said the House was asked TO
extend the time at payment Of the tax
on 70,000,000 gallons Of whiskey, the
sum involved amounting to $66, ,000,-
900. The present depression in
tie whisky interest resulted from
over production. He did not believe
this bill was going to remedy the evil.
On the contrary, the extension would
only aggravate the evil. The time was
not far distant wnen tho conntry would
be in u condition to repeal the internal
revenue taxes. Suppose that in
1887 that they were repealed. BY
that time taxes on bonded whis-
ky, ii this bill passed, would
amount to two hundred millions, and
Congress would be asked to grant a
rebate of these taxes
Cox, of New York, delivered an elab-
orato speech on the general subject Of
tariff and revenue laws. He supported
the Morrison BILL and said the conserva-
tive opinion of the country demanded
reduction in the present tariff He ad-
mitted that there were some divisions in
the party on the question, but trusted
that they woald be reconciled
Pending action the committee report
that, as tomorrow is private bill day.
and Us it will require woihirds vote
to take up the bonded extension bill, it
is not probable that its consideration
will be resumed before Saturday.
The Speaker laid before the House a
communication from the Secretary of
War transmitting an estimate Of $50, 900
for the pedestal for the statue of General
Garfield, to be erected in Washington by
the Army of the Cumberland. Referred

Alaskan 'sLadies.o

Gas a man thinketh in his heart so is
he," we are told; but women furnish a
curious commentary upon this in their
self-estimates of beauty. Women in
Morocco think they are handsome when
they are fat, and the Alaskan bellies think
themselves charming when they are
black. They are as sure of it as the
American girl is Of her pink-and-white
beauty-and as the rule goes in setting
fashions, they all get the worth of their
opinion, for there are enough who agree
with them to make it s'the STYLE? and
the standard.
Ludicrous as it may seem, the Alaska
matrons of high fashion and the native
damsels of the Thlinket tribes never
make a canoe voyage without smearing
themselves with the black dye that they
getfrom a certain wild root of the woods.
or with a paste OF SCOT and seal oil.
On sunny and windy days on shore
they protect themselves from tan and
sunburn by this same ink coating.
On feast-days and the great occasions
when they wash off the black, their
compilations come out as fair and
creamy white as the palest of their
Japanese cousins across the water, and
the women are then seer to be some six
shades lighter than the %tan-colored and
c~otfee-colored lords of their tribe
