The district is reported to be Demo-

Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-01-09


The many lines OF street cars, cable
roads and electric railways extending
In all directions, that have been ana
are being built or projected IN Los
Angeles, will open up an immense
rural territory to our townsmeh Tor
residence and places OF resort just
at this time il is proper to provide lor
pnblic parks. These, as well as sew
ers, pavements and electric lights
are a necessity in every modern ci'y'
No argument is required to prove
this proposition. And the requisite
amount of land TO furnish park or
parks commensurate with the de-
mands Of a progressive community
like ours, can never be obtained IN the
immediate vicinity any cheaper than
II can be the present year Every
coming year viii mark an advance IN
the prices OF "outside lands" There
Il no doubt that while private indi-
yiduals are securing so many eligible
tracts, that might be made into the
most desirable parks, the city should
secure site or sites for that purpose
before all the desirable ch ances are
exhausted. 1t can be said WIN
truth that no city ever had an en-
yironment 10 draw from better suited
TO the desired end than Los Angeles
Immediately above the city, Tor IN
stance, lies hilly country OF several
hundred acres which is already a
natural park OF river, hill and wood
land--an extended plateau OF the
most picturesque character--whieh
at comparatively small outlay
could, II obtained by the city
for that purpose, be turned
into the grandest and most
romantic place Of suburban re-
sort on the Pacific Coast. Pasadena
ward is another lovely location. South
OF the city--in fact in all directions
there are stretches OF country yet to
he procured, any one OF which wonld
make splendid public park and
pleasure ground, each with its re-
spective merits and Recommendations.
II does not matter so much what par
ticular spot is chosen, or in what di-
rection it shall be, as that IT shall be
accessible and of sufficient extent to
provide an adequate outdoor breath
ing place for our people, and that IT
shall be obtained before all surround
ing land becomes of such high price
that to procure a park at all will be
impossible.

Our kilograms inform us that Col.
Markham, our Congressman from
this district, has received the APP
pointment as member Of the House
Committee on Rivers and Harbors,
of which Congressman Willis, OF Ken
tucky, is Chairman. We were told
by the dispatches some days ago that
there we're prospects of this appoint
ment, and we are glad TO record the
fact that Colonel Markham has Sc
cured place on this, to Southern
California, important committee. The
Colonel will now be in II position
where he can work TO the best possi-
be advantage in securing Congress
sional appropriations TO improve Will
mington and other OF our harbors ON
this Coast, which only need com

the largest ships of commerce TO ride

Tne pnren, OF Insomnia.

The parent OF insomnia or wakefulness
is in nine cases out of ten dyspeptic
stomach. Good digestion gives sound
sleep; indigestion interferes with it.
The brain and stomach sympathize. One
of the prominent symptoms OF weak
state of the gastric organs is disturb
ance of the great nerve entrepot, the
brain. Invigorate the stomach, and you
restore equilibrium to the great centre,
A most reliable medicine Tor the pur-
pose is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which is far preferable to mineral seda-
tives and powerful narcotics which,
though they may for u time exert a
soporific influence on the brain, soon
cease to act, and invariably iniure the
tone of the stomach. The Bitters on
the contrary, restore activity to the
operations OF that all important organ,
and their beneiicient Influence is reflect.

the nervous system, A whnles@'".e f"r,

the liver and bowels by its use.

TnE tables are turned now, politi-
cally. 1t is only a few years since we
were told that nobody but traitors and
rebels would abuse the "Administra-
ton" The administration was
the embodiment OF the Constitution,
and to crtcise il was rank treason.
Now tho Ad.s,t-ri-tr-stiv7rr 10 -BAc''I~rr@t
ic, and Republicans do not hesitate
10 speak their minds about the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet, as forcibly as
they know how, for fear they will be
called unpatriotic. 1t is true that
President Cleveland's administration
is so manly, so able and so truly
American (Which is only another way
of saying il is Democratic) that they
are hard pushed for something to say
against it. But we confess we have
no fault to find with them on
that score. Democrats had to do
all the growing" for twenty years.
II was all the satisfaction they could
get. And they were even denied the
miserable right OF doing that, and
called traitors and copperheads for
expressing the slightest dissatisfac-
ton. But nov they are in power
they are perfectly willing to accord to
all Americans the right OF free speech
"a right which was denied to them,
and for the exercise of which they of
ten grievously suffered in the days
gone by. II our Republican friends
don't like the Administration let
them speak right out and ease their
minds whenever they feel like it. 1t
may do them good and will not in
inre the National Administration in
the least. President Cleveland can
stand it, and Democrats can stand IT,
Republicans in power did try 10 muz-
zle the mouths OF the people, fetter
the press and inaugurate Russian
regime in the United States, but
Democrats don't desire anything OF
that kind, even against their political
enemies, In fact, it is a part of the
Democratic independence of thought
and speech to even criticize their own
party leaders when they don't go to
suit them-a thing Republicans were
never known to do anywhere to any
extent. The HERALD. in common
with many Democrats throughout the
land, does not agree with the Presi-
dent in his Civil Service ideas and
views on the silver question, and,
like those Democrats, has not hesi-
tated 10 say so. This is American
ism-the right OF free thought and
free expression. 1t is also Democ-
racy. Republicans should not and
will not be blamed for exercising this
right, even il they did deny it to
Democrats, however unjust may be
their accusations and undeseryed
their criticisms. But we defy any in
telligent, true American, no matter
what his politics, to honestly find
fault with the present Administration
outside OF the anti-silver and Civil
Service iallacies, and they are com
mon TO both parties. Yet we will
not insist that our Republican friends
are necessarily traitors if they hap
pen to grpwl little willie displaced
from office for the first time for quar-
ter Of a century

The Pacific Coast Delegation
and the COmmittees.

SAN FRANCISCO, January s, - The
Cats Washington special says; The
members of the California delegation,
with the exception of Mckenna, are sat.
isiied with their places on the Commit
tees. Mr.. Loutitt, who has been ap-
pointed to the Committee on Invalid
Pensions, one of the most important
Committees of the House, and to the
Committee ON Expenditures of the State
Department, Jared much better than he
expected. As member of the former
Committee he will have charge of all
pension claims presented from the Pa.
cifie Coast. Mr.. FELTON,, who hoped to
secure position ON either the Ways
and Means or Appropriations Commit
tee, cannot complain OF his assignment
as A member of the Committee on
Coinage, Weights and Measures.
lie is the sole Representatives and
spokesman OF the Pacific Coat on that
committee, which will determine the
silver legislation in the present Congress.
MIR. Loutitt had applied Tor a position
on this committee and when MIR FELTON,
learned that he had been appointed to
the place he wrote TO the Speaker, de-
elining on the ground that the delega.
tion had endorsed Mr.. Loutitt for the
position. The Speaker, however, paid
no attention to the letter. Mr.. FELTON,
was Assistant United States Treasurer
at San Francisco for eight years and is
well qualified to represent the interests
of the Pacific Coast on this important
committee. Mr.. Markham secured the
committee place that he most desired,
viz: that OF member on the River and
Harbor Committee. In this position
he will DO his hest to secure large appro-
priations for the improvement OF the
rivers and harbors ON the Pacific Coast.
MIR. Morrow desired to go ON the Com
mittee ON Commerce, and his wish was
gratihed. MIR Mex emma Jared poorest
OF all the members OF the delegation.
He wanted to be ON the Committee on
Naval Affairs, but failed to realize his
ambition. Neither the Committee on
Claims nor that on Mines and Mining,
to which he has been assigned, is OF any
particular importance, and 1t is reported
that he will endeavor to be relieved
from duty on the former committee in
the event that some more satisfactory ar
rhngement can be made.
Mr.. Henley was offered membership
either on the Naval Affairs Committee,
ar on the Public Landsand Public Build.
ipcs and Grounds Committee. He chose
The latter because he believed he could
- of mora service To California in secur.
ing appropriations for public buildings
than be could as member OF the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs. Having ia.
miliarized himself with the Public Lands
Committee in the last Congress, be was
10th to leave it and wisely chose posi-.
tion on the two committees IN preference
To single place on the Naval Affairs
