be splendid collection of goods
offered for sale. 1t would certainly
be advisable to hold off buying
Nmas and New Years presents, and
attend the fair first. There is one
table we must call particular atten-

table. 1t is splendid idea, as
every one wants q pudding for Xmas
dinner, and here's chance to get
as fine 4 pudding rs ever came out
of pot. They will be guaranteed
perfect in every respect, made from
the purest ingredients, and will keep
any length of time. We could say
great deal about these puddings.
but it is not necessary, only let us
remind you to send in your orders
at once. Let there be no delay.
The ladies are hard at work, and so
enthusiastic that this fair is bound
to be grand success.

upward Nnd downward voyage Of
our steamers and sailing vessels.
Again, let us look at other countries
1t is but little use to compare our
selves with the great states, for the
magnitude of their operations in
these lines is apt to lead to extrava-
CANT notions but let us look at such
states as Switzerland, Denmark,
Greece, Servia and Bulgaria. Rela-
lively speaking these countries are
poor besides our own little island
group. They have small populations
varying between one million and
two and half millions. according to
the latest data in my possession.
But Denmark can set 1000 men
and l0G field pieces in motion for
warlike purposes, besides u navy of
SO vessels manned by 1000 seamen
and carrying 2l5 guns, seven of the
vessels being ironclads. Greece,
equally poor, has an army of 1000
men and 90 pieces. Yet Denmark
has revenue of only about 13
million dollars, and Greece has one
of about ID millions while their
united commerce does not come to
over sixty millions. To take the
population rs 4 test, and give us our
relative proportion Of an army we
should have about 1000 men en-
rolled. Again, to take revenue rs
the unit of comparison, we should
have from 5000 to 5000 men in the
army; or to take commerce as the
standard, our rate of insurance
should give 10000 defenders of our
homes and hearths. But our isolated
position relieves us of many of the
dangers that these powers have to
contend with, so that as n policy of
insurance our estimates would need
reduction, but, even then. | think /

A PLEA FOR NATIONAL DEFEACES.

EDITOR BULLETIN :-Calmness is
now. in great measure, one of the
chief features of the political situa-
ton. The red heat exhibited on both
sides during the Legislative session
has disappeared, and people are, |
think, disposed to view subjects
more under the light of common
sense and less under the angry glare
of political passion than they were
at that time. Now / want to raise
my voice in plea for measure
that was then contemptuously re-
iected-I mean the Army and Navy
Bill. Now while the Bill as it stood
was very crude and even ill-digestcd
in its provisions, yet the underlying
idea was good one. Let us leave
all considerations Of monarchical
pomp and military glory on one side,
and just consider the idea in n purely
business light. We have wealth in
the country which needs protection
in case of danger, and we all know
how much protection there is avail
able. Suppose a rising of laborers
should take place on any of the
islands except Oahu, what is there
in existence to save the inhabitants
from violence or death, or TO protect
their property from destruction?
Again, in Oahu suppose that an in
definite quantity of Chinese vagrants,
said to number anywhere from 2 1000
tos5 5000, should take it into their
heads to own all the property in the
town. What is to stop them! Forty
policemen, thrice MS many soldiers
and perhaps two hundred and fifty
volunteers all told? AS measure
Of insurance, even, n business man
in his own business would pay the
tritling percentage which the sum
asked for bears to the whole capita
lized wealth of the nation. 1t is all
very well to say that these chances
of danger may not come. That is
very true. But il these or some
other not unlikely dangers do happen
on us. it will be too late then to
bring in measures of insuring that
the stable door shall be kept locked
after the steed is stolen, Again, if
recollect right, our commerce in
ward and outward amounts to about
Sl4, 900, 900 per annum. 1t seems
rather large sum to be left wholly
unprotected on our side, and | am
perfectly sure our merchants would,
when it came to paying war risks on
insurance policies, wish that the
aforesaid war risks could be reduced
Il little by the knowledge that there
was swift government cruiser or
two in harbor ready to protect each

The congregations at st. Andrews
Cathedral yesterday were quite large.
Special services were held in Hawai-
ian, it being st. Andrews day. The
afternoon service was choral, sung
by the Rev. Alex. Macintosh, the

special prayer was offered up for the
recovery of II. M. Queen Emma

Various substitutes for the cir
cumlocution of "him or her." or
the unlawful use Of the plural when
it is necessary TO use ncutcr singu-
lar third personal pronoun-havc
been devised, but none have come
into general acceptation. Why not
let usage make the plural form the
rule, as it has done in bringing the
second personal pronoun, singular,
".thou," into disusc, substituting
the plural term! Or, what might be
better, adopt the masculine term for
the neuter sense, upon the same
principle as in law the masculine is
construed to refer TO feminine sub
jects, and the singular to comprise
the plural, unless specifically decrecd
otherwise

We hear that the Claim of the
Pacific Navigation Company against
the Government arising out of the
voyage Of the schooner Julia, which
took the high commissioners Trip
and Clarke TO the South Seas on n
political tour, has not us yet been
approved by the Government. Ii
the matter should come to suit. we
expect a lively and somewhat start
ling revelation of the Julia's trip
and the political adventures of the
commissioners Tripp and Clarke, or
Clarke and Trip. The instructions
of the Foreign Office to the commits
sioners and the correspondence be-
tween the "kahuna nui - of the IIa-
waiian Islands Gncluding Birds is
land) with the king and chiefs of the
Reef islands of the South Seas,
would undoubtedly make up South
Sea idyl, novel and romantic to the
general reader if not profitable to
taxpayers of this Kingdom.

Billy Mcdowell,

As stated last week the case of Billy
Mcdowell has been settled by the Su-
preme Court in so far as the dec ision Of
the lower court has been sustained; but
we learn that an application for new
hearing before the Supreme Court has
been filed. which, il in proper form.
must be granted, and il is probable that
three or four months will yet be con.
sumcd in that operation. 1t is said that
McDowell's life can be strung out for

ONE of the most conspicuous orna.
ments of Los Angeles is the High School.
Standing on commanding eminence its
graceful outlines are amongst the first to
attract the attention of the stranger;
and when, upon inquiry, he finds that it
is an edifice devoted to education, he is
favorably impressed with the progressive
spirit of our city. The proposition to
sell this property has originated very
suddenly, and we fail to discover any
evidence that it is in response to any
public depand. The price for which it
was proposed TO sell it is grossly made
'Nate. The city may as well profit by
the enhancement of this property as any
private individual. Instead of PARTING
with the High School it ought to be ter
raced and sodded and made even more
ornamental than it is. 1t will do the
city no harm to hold on to the Pr perty
it still owns. Had little more caution
been shown in this direction in the past
we would have had one of the wealtLiest
municipalities on the Coast. AS it is,
we have parted with almost everything.
We will show wisdom by holding on to
the remnant.

AsoELENos go on the principle that
~ Nature does almost everything for
man hereabouts they are under the
necessity of doing nothing whatsoever.
This is perhaps, the only city in the
United States which has not single
paved street. As consequence, what
ought to be our roadways are lakes OF
slush in which wagon wheels sink to the
hubs. The great expanse of mud which
one encounters on every hand recalls
Millions description of the "great Ser
bonian bog, betwixt Damietta and Mt.
Cassius old, where armies whole have
sunk" There seems Just now to be an
energetic rivalry between the Board of
Supervisors and the City Council as to
which can do least towards making life
sndurable in Los Angeles. Women for
week have compulsorily disappeared
from our streets, and an embargo laid by
ahostile power could not more effec tually
keep the country people from visiting
1Ae city than does the mud which has
Rdispused possession of every roadway.

The officials OF tho Southern Pacific
Railway understand Arizona and South
ern California much better now than
when their original road bed was built.
Strobridge's motto was that Arizona
was dry country-one in which
it never raned, in fact. As conse.
quence he took no precautions against
rain, and when the storms came
away went culverts, and bridges and
track. The "boss" builder of the Cali.
fornia railway magnates, il he had chosen
to look around him, could havo found
on every side evidences that it does rain
in Arizona and on scale of grandeur
seldom equalcd anywhere. Great ohasms
abornded on every hand, which impetu-
Gus torrents had worn in the solid rock,
and yet Strobridge took no heed aud
placidly laid his rails where they could
most readily be swept away. 1t doubt.
less cost the Southern Pacific pretty
penny to follow him up and do his work
over again. That the task has not yet
been completely done in Southern Cali
forna is shown by the fact that the late
heavy rains have almost suspended
travel by rail.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1884-02-06

The late rains have made very con
spicuous the fact that there Is not pass.
able road In Los Angeles county. 1t
seems like waste Of labor to dwell upon
this matter. but only through agitation
can we hope for relief. For all the good
which accrues to our people we might
as well have no road fund at all. The
report OF the Grand Jury, synopsis of
which we published in the HERALD the
other day, calls attention TO the circum.
stance that one-third of the whole
amount was absorbed by the overseers.
Another large portion was paid in labor,
and for anything to be discovered as a
result OF that labor it might just as well
not have been paid at all. Much Of it
was doubtless contributed in the shape
of "bean' poker in cosy saloons through
out the county. Go where one will,
morasses and mired ronds are encoun-
tered. Great as is the travel between
Downey City and the southern portion
Of the county generally and Los Angeles
the roads are almost impossible, and
right at the edge of the city, at that. A
great source OF waste OF the road fund
has been the purchase of the right OF
way. We are informed that the Messrs.
j. Il. IIollenbeck, VIM. II. Workman
and others will cheerfully donate the
right Of way for road leading to the
southern portion Of the county via tho
Evergreen Cemetery. A very little out
lay would greatly improve this road and
add amazingly to the convenience of
those compelled to use it. Why not
make beginning theres The Board OF
Supervisors which shall energelically
apply itself to the work Of road making

people.
