A Federal Court nt Los Angeles
The San Francisco Aud which ar
rived yesterday contains an editorial
in favor Of the establishment OF an
United States District Court at Los
Angeles. In commenting upon the
fact that the bill which was intro
duced in Congress last session to To-
cate this court here was defeated by q
statistical showing made by Senator
Edmunds, demonstrating that but
little business finds its way from here
TO the San Francisco Federal Courts,
the Alta very pertinently says that to
offer such statistics is like showing
by figures that no people drink at a
dry we'll, as an argument against hav-
ing well dug that will supply water.
II is FIVE hundred miles from here TO
San Francisco, and from portions OF
Southern California, as San Diego,
much further. As the difa well shows
in the article referred to, the great ex-
pense to litigants in bringing parties,
witnesses and attorneys such long
distance acts as a restraint upon JUS
tice, and virtually debars the people
OF Southern California from the bene-
Ats Of the United States Courts. II a
Federal Court is located at Los An
geles il will have business enough TO
transact There need be no fear
about that. Iowa, which has only
30, 900 square miles to the $4,000
square miles OF California, has Fed
eral Courts at Keokuk, Des Moines,
Dubuque and Conncil Bluffs, with an
additional session at Fort Dodge. II
Iowa, with its small territory and
easy access by rail to all portions, 10
entitled to four u s. Courts, certain
ly California with its expanse Of terri
tory and comparatively difficult
means Of travel between its different
sections, should be entitled to two.
We hope and expect that the present
session Of Congress will pass the bill
locating a Federal Court at Los An
gelee.

DAY DISPATCHES.

ST. LOUIS, January l5.-Charles vii.
son (colored) was hanged this morning
for the murder of VIM. A. Davis, second
mate of the steamer Fannie Twatum, "
July 81, 1885, by hitting him on the
head with rock. Wilson had been dis
charged and ordered away from the
steamer, but returned to get some mon.
sy he claimed was owing him. After
the trap had been sprung the body hung
for moment and remained motionless,
then there was enacted q scene of horror
which chilled the blood of all who wit
messed it. Two doctors, one on either
side, were each holding the wrist, when
the violent contortions of the hanging
figure showed them aside, and before
they could regain their hold upon the
man, whose actions showed he was in
the full possession of consciousness of all
that was going on. He made frantic
struggles to release himself. His right
hand shot up, clutehed the rope and held
it firmly. 1t seemed as ii the man must
die by slow degrees from strangulation,
but one of the doctors succeeded in dis
engaging the hand and in a short time
the body hung lifeless corpse.

WE have heard very little for sew
eral years about Los Angeles being
"a dry county"-one subject TO
droughts. The truth is, that land in
this section requires less rain than
land in any portion OF Northern Cali
fornia, and there has not been "dry
year" here for eight years. And even
in the last dry year-1S76-7--with the
aid OF the scant irrigating facilities
then possessed in this county, in
many places, and over a large pro-
portion of the county, the very best
crops of Indian corn, alfalfa and other
products were realized, which yielded
large prices, so that the absolute loss
by that drought was more imaginary
than real. With the improved meth
DDS OF cultivation now in vogue, and
the better understanding by our peo-
pile OF the nature and requirements of
the soil, IL may be safely said that
"droughts" are things of the past.
Even in the dryest years there is con-
siderable rain; for eight years there
has been copious downfall, and itmay
safely be predicated that We have
heard the last about "dry years"
Who could wish for more generous
rainfalls than this county has received
this year, last year and the year be-
fore last? The objection that this
is "dry country" was about the only
one ever urged against Southern Cali
fornia with any force. Time has
shown its utter falsity, and We are
glad that we have heard the last of it.

The new chinese Restriction

The new Chinese Restriction Bill,
which has been introduced into the
House Of Representatives by Con-
gresham Morrow, will probably take
the usual course and be sent TO the
Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The San Francisco Bulletin, a Re-
publican paper, in speaking of this
says that "the composition Of the
Committee is different from that
Of the last House. 1t consists Of
eight Democrats and five Republi-
cans, which, perhaps, may be re-
garded as u favorable circumstance. F"
The Bulletin also says that "the pre-
ponderance Of Democrats rather en-
courages the hope that a majority
report in favor Of the new Restriction
Act can be secured"
We are glad TO see the Bulletin be-
slowing praise where 1t belongs.
While Il is true that the Republicans
ifOu IfllS tutHb III tohSitoo h"fe
favored anti-Chinese legislation, II Is
also true that the Republican party
in the East have been pfo-Chinese
party; and that this Coast is indebt-
ed 10 the Democrats in both Houses
for the present restriction law, and
that it is to Democrats we must look
for new law that will cure the de-
fects in the old one and effectually
exclude the Chinaman from our
shores. The Democratic members
Of both Houses Of Congress, with
very rare exceptions, in the matters
Of the Bland Silver Bill, the Chinese
Restriction Act, and nearly every
other measure affecting the welfare
Of this Coast, have always been the
friends OF our section and have given
us their votes. On the other hand !,
the Republican party Of the East, on
all those questions, has been the
open and avowed enemy Of the Pa
cific Slope. II is pleasant to know
that even our political enemies are
beginning TO admit the merits of onr
Democratic brethren in the East in
our behalf.

o'clock this morning, when it was found

A RECENT number Of the San Fran

A RECENT number of the San Fran
cisco Argonam contains remarkable
letter from Hon. Thomas Fitch, the
silver-tongued, not unknown in Los
Angeles. The substance OF the letter
is this The Hon. Thomas, who is an
ardent Republican, takes the ground
that Republican rule is necessary to
the welfare OF the country, and that
in order TO secure that result in the
future the negroes in the South
should be disfranchised. He argues
that the same power which conferred
the elective franchise upon them has
the right and power to take it away.
He admits that the mass OF the
negroes in the South will hereafter
vote with their late masters, and
considers that his party made its
greatest mistake when they were en-
franchised. Exactly how the Hon.
Thomas is going to carry his plan
ont he does not eluoidate. There are
doubtless many Republicans who feel
about this matter exactly as the Hon.
Thomas does, bnt few OF them will be
Us frank as he has been and say so.

Scarcely any doubt exists in the minds
OF scientific men about the appearance OF

extent and virulence OF the disease Will de-
pend entirely upon the sanitary condition
OF the country and the physical condition
Of the people. Persons in perfectly
healthy condition have little to fear from Its
approach. DR.. Koch, OF Berlin, in his re-
cent writings upon the subject. says: I'm
der ordinary circumstances, the baoilli, In

Yesterday was peculiar day. There
was tumult in cloudland and light aud
darkness chased each other over the
plains as the great masses of vapor were
hurled hithcr and thither by the double
currents of air that swept the upper and
lower regions of the atmosphere. The
vapor was in Jumps and clusters, and
rolled ana tumbled like oroquet balls at
q picnic. During the day many snow
clouds swept along the mountains and
mantled all the higher peaks with shin
ing snow, while the same clouds
dropped some of their burden in the
city and plains in gentle showers of
rain.

"A rsailcious critic.

Very frequently ne see something
in Republican paper about Demo-
Gratis Opposing the administration"
Invariably IL turns out that II there
is any truth at all in the statement,
1t had its foundation in some remark
OF Mr. Dana, OF the New York Sun,
in regard to President Cleveland.
Outside Of Mr.. Dana, no prominent
Democrat has opposed the admins
tration, or the President, although
hosts OF them disagree with him in
his civil service and anti-silver ideas,
which said ideas are not OF partisan
character. Both the great parties in
their national platforms at the last
Presidential election passed resolu-
tions in favor OF so-called civil SER
vice reform; and both parties are
now divided on the silver question
one as much as the other. Besides
all this, Mr.. Dana is not Democrat.
He is the editor of paper which
claims to be independent in politics,
and in the crucial year Of 1884, when
the people were making their SUI
preme battle against the intrenched
wrongs OF the Republican party in
power, the bitterest and most SANDER
Gus opponent of Cleveland in the
United States, was Mr.. Dana through
his journal, the New York Sun. As
Mr.. Dana so fiercely opposed Mr..
Cleveland's election, il is but natural
that he should feel rather uncomfort-
able at the success OF the man he un-
dertook to defeat. But it is useless
for him to attempt to pose as Dem
ocrat. while making his criticisms.
No man has now the right to be con-
sidered Democrat who tried to aid
the election OF James G.. Blaine TO
the Presidency, and to perpetnate the
domination of sectional hate, malice
and Republican bigotry and misrule,
in this country.
