more emphatic degree. The valua-
ton OF the city property has been in
creased in round numbers 81, 900, 900.
In the face OF this the rate has been
raised from $1.20 to 81 80 on the 800.
The party bazoo blowers give the
air no rest from their trumpeting OF
the fact that they have succeeded in
cinching the saloons out of $50, 900
per annum by the high license act.
BY the natural and phenomenal
growth OF the city, all the other
sources of municipal revenue are in
creased most exceptionally. There
is a Pactolean stream of coin flow
ing all the time from these channels
of all sorts OF enterprise into the cof-
fers OF the reform governments OF
city and county. Where does it go
to from the treasures? The people
are in no sense the beneficiaries OF
this. Who then gets it, what is done
with it?
The city has been authorized to
sell bonds to the full extent OF its
credit for internal improvements.
These are needed. The people have
voted the supplies. Some of these
have been sold, and the city is paying
taxes, the debt so incurred. What
are the reformers, the people with
whom wisdom dwells, and with
whom it is supposed to die, the
party OF progress" ''the party of
great moral ideas," the party in
whose wake is seen the march of
great events-what are they doing
with all these public funds? The
streets are as they were when Los
Angeles was village, and her indus
tries depressed. If there has been
an improvement, that was done by
private enterprise, as in the opening
of second street, or by special tax on
property aligning the same. The
sewers have given no sign of ever
being begun. The irrigation system
is in the same chaotic condition as OF
old. Barring the hole on the corner
of Spring and Second streets, where is
there anything to show for the
year in which the great reform Coun
Gil has been in office? The direct tax
is 800, 900 more than in the previous
year. All who are now paying up
their municipal tax find that they are
being mulcted in more than so per |
cent. advance on the payment of the
year before. What will this reform
Council do with the money? Will |
they dig some more holes on the |
corner of the street, in their inability |
to reach some approximate idea OF
the cost OF covering it with brick and
Will they 60 along the
street beyond'the covered bridge and
root there in the manner OF band of
unrung hogs, tearing up the top OF
the ground, which merely pulverizes
into dust in summer or into mud in
winter, and making the road like the
SOW in the Sacred Book, whose last
state was worse than the first when
she had wallowed in the mire alter
her unwonted bath +?
The reform city and county govern
ments have been sore disappoint-
ment to the taxpayer and to the peo-
pie generally. The people want no
more OF this blundering inefiiciency,
and they will not have it. They have
found out that economy in handling
the public finances need not be ex-
pected at the hands of the Republican
party, and they will retire these Off
cials to their own private speculations
in real estate, and the people will put
in office the practical, careful men
offered them ON the Demo cratic
ticket.

CITY Taxes, $295,OOO.

A few days ago we gave our read
ers q comparison of the county taxes
as levied for the years 1884 and 1885.
That statement showed an increase
of los per cent. as the result OF the
Republican reform movement inaug-
nrated in the latter year. Added to
that was a windfall OF 100000
delinquent railroad tax paid in re-
Gently. Tor all this money there is
little or nothing in the way OF per-
manent improvements to show, and
there is hardly a taxpayer in the
county who is not asking: "What on
earth has been done with the mon
ey?" The road tax comes to over
$40 900 year. There are now 10000
voters in the county who are sup
posed to pay in more than $4,000
poll tax annually. All counted up,
the amount OF money taken from the
peoples pockets for governmental
purposes is an enormous sum for
reformers TO handle. Go out over
the roads, look in at the courthouse,
take peep at the jail, contemplate
our unbridged rivers-what is done
with the peoples money? These
people come into power on the top
most wave of tide OF prosperity
hardly, If ever, equalled in the
world. That high flood OF progress
has never shown sign of ebb during
the two years OF their Office holding.
The county has grown enormously,
nex, ranches have been laid out, new
v;nevards and orchards have been
planted, these have came into bear
ing and are now yielding revenue,
the population has increased,
nj this progress has gone
steadily along; yet in all re-
spessu. so far as public impr ove-
me. the county is where it was
the d. they came inio power. The
rare ana important exceptions to this
rule, il stated in their entire meagre-
ness. will only emphasize the force
e the case as against their misman-
.oement Of public affairs. Where is
Ibe peoples money going to?
To-day we give at the top OF these
.olumns the statement as regards
.5tv taxes. There we find the same

The Gunslgh hit.

Hon. John g. Nichols, one OF the argo-
nauts OF 49," now living at Cotton. is
visiting the city. II may not be remembered
that 1t was Judge Nichols overland train
from Salt Lake to Los Angeles in '49'. that
Messrs. Savage and Penny brancEed off
near the AmaIgosa mountains, and going
mort hwesterly under the guida of
Chimehuave Indians, discovered speci-
mems of native silver, which they carried
to Owens Lake, where they found a settler.
1t was here that one Of these men, who was
a gunsmith, made q gunsight from their
native silver for the missing sight OF the
settlers rife. 1t was from this circum-
stance that the name of the Gunsight Mine
originated and is now known from one end
mine was discovered 81 years ago and lost
again, unless the recent discovery of rich
ore in that region by Messrs. Judson, Car
ter and Spring last summer, should prove
to be the long-lost mine, it has been the
subject Of story ever since, and hundreds
of men and teams have left their bones on
the burning sands Of Death Valley in ar
dent search for the lost silver mine. In
later years the mind Of Mr.. Penny was
shattered. and he died insane. Mr.. Savage
Is still waiting on the shores of time to
hear OF the re-discoyery of his lost treasure.
Judge Nichols, although three score and
ten, remembers as readily the whole his
tory OF the mine, as II the scenes were en-
acted yesterday.
The adventurer, Merrimack, who started
some weeks since to find the Gunsight, has
not been heard from for a long time. The
Cotton company of miners have not yet
| started on their long and arduous journey
