How Our Light Shines.

A member of the San Francisco Board
of Supervisors is now in Los Angeles to
examine into the system of lighting from
masts as is now done in this city. In re-
gard to this question the San Francisco
Merchant says: 1.-THE California Elec-
trio Light Company, beside, its numsr-
Gus private lights in stores and else
where, is lighting the district bounded
by Ellis, Pine, Powell and Leavenworth
streets, and practically showing the
great superiority OF the electric light by
the "Brush" system over all other pro.
cesses, and especially for public street
lighting over the best coal or coal and
oil gas. There IRE now thirty five lights
in the district mentioned, on poles thir-
ty.fvc feet in height, besides the five
feet which are buried in the ground.
The company has now an application be
fore the Boa.d of Supervisors for con
tract for lighting the whole city on the
expiration of the present contract witt
the San Francisco Gas Light Company,
which we hope will be accepted. Those
cities in the United States and we have
two in California, San Jose and Los An
geles, which have adopted the electric
light are far better illuminated than
those which adhere to the coal gas lamp
The Mayor of Los Angeles, in his annual
message, voiced the sentiments of that
community and of all transient visitors
when he said that Los Angeles had de-
servedly the reputation of being the best
lighted city in the United States The
Brush system OF lighting is the most sue
cessful of all the electric inventions, the
parent company has the largest electric
factories in the world, and the parent
and sub-companies are supplying O
greater number of lights than all other
processes combined"

GEN. GRANT seems to be applying
himself lately to Running the boom OF
"Dirty Work" John A. Logan. The
hero Of AppomattoS, for good many
years OF his life, was one of the most for
tunate of men. He has lately pressed
his luck too hard, however, and has
picked up the knack OF being beaten in
all his ventures, including even his
financial ones, if rumor is to be relied
upon. Judging from the way Blaine is
scooping up delegates in the Old strong.
holds OF the stalwarts, neither Grant nor
black John will fare any better in the
National Convention Of 1854 than they
did in that of 1850. Blaine will either
be the nominee himself or he will name
the man. II the Plumed Knight had
had the same strength in the New York
and Pennsylvania delegations in 1880 as
he is developing now he would have
been the nominee then with whoop, in
spite OF Grant, Conkling, Cameron, Lo.
gan and the colored brigade from the
South, which fought nobly for the third
tsrm. and which made up by far the
greater portion OF the famous BOG which
oirrisd the Grant tag.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1884-04-06


The past year has been signalized by
q very remarkable shrinkage in the
value Of all stocks, and particularly Of
railway stocks, and the end is hardly
yet. The default Of the Mexican Central
in the payment OF last years interest
can hardly tend to ircrease the conf
dence of the investing public in railway
securities. Notwithstanding the hurrah
which it has been sought to get up over
the reciprocity treaty with Mexico the
advantages Of that treaty will probably,
for years to come, be Oh the side of our
Sister Republic. This is probably well
enough, on the principle that she needs
them more than our own people. In all
cases of the investment OF American cap
ital in Mexican railways there is bound
to be weeping, and wailing, and gnasl~
ing Of teeth amongst the gudgeons who
have for the thousandth time proved the
old adage that fool and his money are
soon parted, and the gruesome com.
plants of these foolish investors cannot
fail to still further depress stock and
speculative values. Tho American peo-
pie have been grossly humbugged on
this Mexican railway proposition. In
every instance they have held the bag
while the Mexicans have got the game.
The boasted Mexican subventions have
not more than sufiiced TO build the
bridges along the several lines of rail
ways. the Mexicans having been shrewd
enough to provide that all these struc.
lures should be of the most solid and en-
during description. As long as profits
were to be made by construction the
promoters of these enterprises did not
care baubee how grievously the capi.
talists who advanced tho money which
built the roads were victimized. Gen.
Grant has been perhaps tho man most
influential in leading his countrymen
into this financial cul de sac.

One Of the anomalies Of California pol
itics is = single Congressional district
which Is mnch larger than the State Of
New York. We allude TO the Sixth dis
trict, Of which Los Angeles is the center
as to population. The man who oonsci-
entiously canvassss this immense stretch
Of territory will acquit himself Of an
amount Of genuine hard work equal to
the collective efforts Of the thirty.thrse
New York Congressman, and he will be
obliged to make his convass in the face
Of difficulties that might well appall a
weakling. In the Empire State there
would be every possible advantage. lux
urious travelling facilities, comfortable
hotels and oil the easements Of modern
civilized life. In the Sixth California
district the buck. board and the stage
coach, with shake.down in wayside
hamlets, is the best that can be looked
for over much of the tremendous terri
tory tray srsed. There are single coun-
ties In this district which have nearly
the area Of Ireland, and the three south
orn counties, viz, San Diego, San Ber-
nardino and Los Angeles, have within
two million acres of tho superfces of
England. One OF the counties Of the
Sixth district San Bernardino-- contains,
in round numbers, lO, 900, 600 acres, while
San Diego is close upon her heels with
some eight millions. But on the Pacific
Coast everything is on large scale, in
mountains, deserts, politics and religion.
The bishops and archbishops who. in
the episcopal and Roman Catholic
hierarGhivs, administer the concerns OF
compact little diocescs. sometimes en-
bracing whole States and indeed several
States together, would bo surprised to
learn that in San Diego there is priest
whose parish extends from near the Lo,
Angeles county line for distance OF five
hundred miles into Lower California.
The Reverend Father Ubach, Of the
city Of Bay and Climate, thinks nothing
Of hitching up his blackboard, putting
his gun and frugal store of provisions
iato the vehicle and starting out on a
trIp,of three or four hundred miles to
shrive q dying parishioner, getting the
greater portion Of bis subsistence on the
way by his skill as hunter. Such a
trip would take him out OF the bound
aries Of most Of the kingdoms Europe.

A National Account RENDER.

There is deep, underlying sentiment
amongst the people Of the United States
that rotation in office is an excellent
thing, and for two reasons. The first is
that 1t prevents the growth of barna-
cle.like bureaucracy, which is most in
consistent with republican institutions
and very offensive to the traditions and
feelings Of free people. The second is
that no prudent business man ever per-
mits his books to be run for many years
without IN overhauling. If he does, he
is very apt to discover that he has made
u very vital mistake. In California we
have lately had occasion to notice what
good follows the turning out of one set
Of officials and their replacement by per.
sons Of the opposite party. The last
general election in this State resulted in
the choice by the people to the office of
controller Of o vigilant and honest Dem
crat, in the person of Mr.. John P. Dunn.
His record in the office has been one of
uninterrupted reclamation of public
moneys, withheld or stolen by delinquent
officials, by which the State treasury
has benefited amazingly. For the sake
Of the illustration, suppose Democratic
officials Of like integrity of purpose
and energy of methods were to succeed
the men who have run the
departments at Washington during
the past twenty years. What II
rattling of the dry bones there would
be! Even very stupid person must
know that, underneath such develop
ments as the Leet Custom House frauds,
the Robson and Belknap and Whisky
Ring and the Star Route frauds, there
must be tremendous bonanzas Of official
rottenness and delinquency. Peculation
and robbery lie ring within ring, like the
concentric folds Of an onion, in all the
Washington departments, and the mere
satisfaction of knowing how much they
have been despoiled ought to count
for somsthing with the long suffering
people Of the United States. But dis
covery ought to precede restitution, and
as to much of the peculation and out.
right robbery which have been rampant
at Washington it would be quite feasible
to enforce recovery of the stolen goods.
1t would simply be the ease of Bill
Tweed over again. and on mammoth
>scale. With the fashion once estab-
lished Of hunting down official thieves
in earnest, many delinquents to the ma.
tional treasury would be glad to initiate
Drury Melone and others OF that ilk in
this State, and make the treasury good.
For Others prison doors could be made
to open, as in the case of Gray, in Cali.
fornia, The time has come for great
national account render, and there would
be millions TO the people, in more ways
than one, in general turning out OF the
Republican bureaucrats.

The Committee on Postoflices ant
Post Roads Of the House Of Represent
atives has decided, by the large majorit,
OF s to2, that 1t is neither expedient fol
the government TO erect Postal Tele
graph system of its own nor TO buy any
telegraph line now in existence. This
we are afraid, is the death knell, in the
present session at least, Of any honest
system OF Postal telegraphy. Monday
the Committee will take up and vote
upon the proposition to make contracts
with existing lines. There is very
largo sized senegambian in this wood
pile. II tho government cannot erect
wires Of its own, and supply its
own service in every detail, the
whole thing had better be dropped
at once, for the time being. Any
half way legislation would probably
only result in IN estoppel Of any
thorough measure of relief for the
people in tho future. Whom everything
is ripe for the innovation Congress
should not find its hands tied, but be
free TO erect its own wires and conduct
its own business. There will be very
general disappointment at this mis-
carriage of an exceedingly popular
measure.
