by Democratic policy and Demo.

President Buchanan recognized
this, and in his annual message to
Congress called attention to the fact
that the industries of the country
were paralyzed and almost wholly
destroyed by the free trade policy
of the party. He urged that unless
something was done speedily the
whole country would be bankrupt.

country twenty-three years ago
when the Republican party was
placed in power.

POLITICAL MORSELs.

BAll the democratic newspapers
find Blaine's letter of acceptance "a
disappointing document" That is cal
culated to make republicans feel bad.
If Mr.. Blaine had been considerable
enough to write a letter up to demo-
cratic expectations he might have sue

the democratic platform.

Ocratic party, very hungry, and, as you
may we'll believe livery thirsty--a party
without a single definite principle, a
party without any distinct National
policy which it dares to present to the
country party which fell from power
as q conspiracy against human rights,
and now attempts to sneak back to
power through q conspiracy for plum

Grand Opera House.

There was slight falling off in the
attendance last night, but those who
went to see Sheridan in Ingomar were
highly delighted. His assumption of
the role of the German barbarian who
gradually yields to the beauty and fas-
cination of Parthenia was a pleasing
study in the highest degree. The rude
vehemence of the savage, which gradu.
ally succumbed to the influence of the
chaste, intellectual and spirited Greek
maiden, was depicted with great realism
by the star. His conception of the
character is strong and original. Miss
Louise Davenport made charming
Parthenia. She displayed an archness
and cleverness worthy OF commendation,
and her unquestioned elocutionary merits
were enhanced by costume which threw
into strong relief her spirituelle cast of
beauty.
At the matinee Louis XI. will hold
the boards, and for the evening Richard
III. is underlined. Both performances
will be highly enjoyable.

Los ANGELES, Sept. 1871

Los ANGELES. Sept. 10th.
Last night attended the performance
at the Grand Opera House with my wife,
and while we enjoyed the play and con
sidered the acting highly meritorlous. we
were both annoyed by the Programmes.
The programme" last night was no
worthier the name than poster on the
street bill boards. for it did not contain
any more. The play was Louis XII. :"
and all that was given on the programme
vas the dramatis persona on the front,
and the names Of the whole company on
tho back, together with the announce.
ment that they would appear again to-
night. No synopsis Of the play was
giveu, nor were tho scenes enumerated.
All the other space on 1919 hand bill
was crowded with advertisements, and
even side lines were run in. am q busi-
ness man and have lived In three Eastern
cities and while not what would be called
habitual theatre goer flor did not rent
box) still attende whenever / thought
the play would be interesting or the act
ing good. And l know that in the opera
houses there they would no more think
of putting advertisements ON their rro-
grammes than they would of adopting
another provincial custom ON par with
| It. namely, painting them on the drop
curtain. People generally regard the
appearance of mans business card on a
theatre programme, especially when the
play Is historical or one OF Shakespeare's
as an impudent display Of bad taste on
the part Of the person who ordered it.
On negro minstrel programme it might
not be out of place, but doubt whether
even then it would pay the advertiser.
People who glance ut the advertisements
quickly forget them, as they are not in
mood TO be impressed by them, their
attention being absorbed by the sur
roundings. the people and the play.
mentioned the matter to my wife
and asked several ladies if they saved
their programmes, but they all replied
"No." One lady replied, II don't care to
have my recollections Of fine perform
ance spoiled by what is ON the posters
that are given, SO ! cut out what con-
Germs the play and paste it in a scrap
book" Another lady with whom com.
menced the subject observed, "What an
elevated idea it would give friends in the
East of Los Angeles to send them a

Oottony Cushion Scale.

Mr.. B. NJ. Lelong, the well-known
insectologist, has made q valuable col
lection of the various kinds of fruit tree
branches and fruits that are infested
with the cottony cushion scale, and are
liable to be destroyed thereby. Some
persons have an idea that this terrible
peat, the worst insect that ever invaded
the State. only attacks the orange, cit.
ron, lemon and lime, but Mr.. j. De
Barth Shorb. in his most interesting let.
ters in the HERALD, states that this de.
stroying angel attacks the grape vine,
and various fruit trees of deciduous va.
rieties. In support of this statement
Mr., Lelong has brought to the HERALD
office half dozen cases with glass Gov
ers, in which are contained specimens OF
various branches Of fruit trees aud grape
vines, that are badly infested with this
terrible pest, which not only attacks the
branches but the leaves and fruit of all
kinds Of fruit. The principal home Of
this insect is right here in the city of
Los Angeles, mainly on the east side of
Main street, between First and WASH
ington street. Some of these insects
were carried, probably by birds, to the
San Gabriel valley, where the people
have risen in their might, cut down the
infested trees, sprinkled them with ker.
oscene and burned them up. This is
heroic treatment, but proves to be effec-
tual
Now will the people of this city rise
in their right and duty and see that the
insect is cleared out of the city! 1t is
better to burn up 1000 trees to stop the
destruction by this insect than to lose
500, 900 trees and millions of vines by
neglecting to destroy it. A petition is
before the City Council to have that
body take action towards suppressing
the dangerous creature ON the ground Of
emergency, and that those who harbor
the insect are maintaining dangerous
public nuisance, and doing an injury to
the property of others. Something must
be done, and done quickly. II the City
Council has no authority TO exterminate
the pest, q company must be formed to
do it, and do it thoroughly.

Yesterday Superintendent 4. +. Hewitt

in regard to the Anaheim and Santa Ana

departs at 2;30 p. NJ. There appears to
have been mistake somewhere, but il
was not in the HERALD.
