GOVERNOR WATERMAN will leave
behind him an unen liable repute
in the matter of his over-zeal in put
ting good men out of office merely be-
cause they do not belong to his polit-
cal party, or because they have in.
cured in some way his personal
enmity. The removal OF men from
offices which are usually esteemed
political is all right. But there are
others, which by universal consent
have been lifted above the plane Of
party spoilsmen. Such are the Re-
gents Of the University, the Prison
Commissioners and the Fish
Commissioners. From the latter
body he removed Democrats and
that in manner which goo(
lawyers hold to have been illegal az
we'll as discourteous. There is likely
to be some question on this head
The Governor has within a day OF
two removed John F. Swift from the
regency of the University-that is, hs
did not reappoint Mr.. Swift, albeit the
qualifications Of that gentleman fo
such a position are of the highest
But political opponents and personal
enemies must clear the track while
his "Accidency" reigns.

British Help.

EDITORS HERALD: Mr.. White Morti-
mer. British Vice-C Consul, has written
a most strange letter to the Liverpool
Mercury of February 9th, which will
have tendency to prevent my trying
to supply Californian households with
reliable help from the ranks of our
domesticated women whose education
lifts them above the servant class
His letter is dated January 1lth, and
at that date only nine of the women
sent by me had arrived and l know
them to be all placed in families and
doing we'll. l have their names, and
from more than one l have express
sions of gratitude for opening up to
them pathway to honorable inde-
pendence, and yet Mr.. Mortimer says
he "cannot too strongly condemn my
scheme" and that California is the
last place in the world where an edu-
Gated woman should come unless she
has the means to return" and that
he has chad to help number of Mrs.
Parker's unfortunate emigrants to
keep them from starvation" / en-
close a copy of my letter to him. l
think it right that the people Of Cali
fornia should know what an impedi-
ment is being placed in my way by
one in their midst. / will send you a
copy of the Liverpool Mercury OF Feb
ruary 9th, that you may have Mr..
Mortimer's letter and copy of my
reply is inclosed. Every woman who
comes under my auspices has creden-
tials signed by me, testifying to her
character and ability to do house,
work, and if any useless people have
used my name / think Mr.. Mortimer
should have at least satisfied himself
before rushing into print with such
words as Mrs. Parker's Unfortunate

CHEAP money has long been great
desideratum in this section. There
has at all times for many years back
been good supply of the "ready" in
our banks; but the depositors have
held their capital for purposes OF in
vestment or speculation. 1t has not
been generally available for loaning
purposes. Now some of the savings
institutions of San Francisco have
come to our rescue. Money is to be
had from such sources on terms
which come to about 6 per cent
after taxes are paid. The
rates are about s per cent.
This will greatly relieve the local
money market and will stimulate the
improvement of the city in no small
degree. Persons with good lots can
put up houses for rent which will pay
them as high as 20 per cent. per an
mum. The fact that these financial in
stitutions OF the Bay City are willing
to lend funds on our property indi-
Gates healthy condition Of affairs
hereabouts. Capital is proverbially
timid, and will moi 60 where securities

ORANGE GROWERS in various parts
OF the county complain that some
people passing by their orchards
enter the same and carry off great
deal of fruit. Doubtless in many
cases this is done thoughtlessly, and
by persons who would feel aggrieved
on being arrested for petit larceny.
But the fact remains that it costs money
to raise oranges, and that being raised
they are worth money. Some passers-
by are not content to take an orange
or two from the trees, but actually
gather a hundred or more. The
other day an irate granger at San
Gabriel caught such trespasser in
his orchard with at least half box
of fruit in his possession. The orange
grower made the visitor first disgorge
his ill-gotten gains, and then forced
him to pay $40 to be let go. The next
day he caught another depredator in
fagrante delictu, and as this one
would not pay to be let go, the
orchardist hauled him away to
Pasadena before a justice, who
the orange stealer in
the sum of twenty-five cents dne and
81 costs. People intent on securing
cheap fruit, or that favored with the
piquant taste Of stolen waters, had
better see to it that they do not run
foul Of such a dragon watching over
the golden apples, as is our San Ga
briel granger.

THE HERALD, of Los Angeles, has
determined that it will not be outdone
by the Tribune and Times of that
city. 1t has purchased in the East a
new perfecting press and folder,
which are now on the way. 1t is the
intention of the publishers to enlarge
as soon as all the arrangements are
completed, when they expect THE

ropolitan dailies of the country. 1t

gentleman. He dressed the character
richly, and infused spirit OF chival-
rous romance into the singular wooing
scene at Belmont. The whole of this
scene. both in its setting and in its
enactlng, was gorgeous and pleasing.
Miss Gale as "Portia" added greatly
to its success, while the by-play be-
tween "Gratiano" (Mr. G. B. Han
tosdl a0d "Nerissa" Miss Elizabeth
Robbins was very enlivening.
The production of the last act of
the Merchant of Venice on this occa-
sion reflected credit on the company.
The 'msse scene was a gem OF
artistic effect. The rich costum-
cry of the actors set off the
gorgeous stage mounting finely, and
the strains of music, including the
melodious voices of a hidden qua. :
tette, gave soft and pleasing effect
to the scene. The curtain dropped
slowly upon as fine picture
as was ever presented on
the boards of the Opera House.

fact did not arrest attention at the
later hour that fruits we're one OF the
classes put on the free list. We do
not wish at all to disguise the fact
that we regret this aspect Of the bill,
nor our opinion that it is not a wise
measure. The fruit industries OF this
State are rapidly growing into
matters of great importance not alone
to California, but to the entire Union.
They are, in the strictest sense OF the
term, infant industries. In many
of its elements the problem of fruit
growing with us is tentative. We are
daily changing many of our theories
and mending many Of our practices in
this respect. If there is any enter
prise in the land which needs and
which deserves protection more or
better than these young and promis-
ing ones of our State, we do not know
it. The matter is earnestly COM
mended to all our delegation at
Washington for their imme late and
most vigorous action. We cannot but
think that a proper presentation OF
the case before the committee would
induce that body to review the ques-
ton and probably restore the tax on
fruits coming in competition with
ours; or at the most, when the
bill is called up for action in the
House, such an amendment might be
incorporated there. Our Board OF
Trade, and similar bodies in the
State, are asked to take prompt action
in this respect.

For the last three months l have

DEAR SIR A letter of yours which

February 9th, has caused me great
pain. l feel it a most undeserved
attack on what has keen to me a
labor of love. At the date Of your
letter, January l1th, only nine of the
women sent by me had arrived in
California, and have letters saying
they are all in situations. and on the
date of your letter, January l1th, they
were all in those situations, and yet
you say "a number of Mrs. Parkers
unfortunate emigrants have came to
me for assistance, which | have felt
compelled to render them to save
them from starvation" | cabled you
from Liverpool for the names OF these,
but no reply has come to me. 1t is a
serious thing for public officer to
make groundless charge of so serious
a nature, especially when it reflects
on the character OF lady, whose re-
cord has been before the world for
twenty years in the walks of Christian
philanthropy. There are those who
will never succeed in any land, and if
any of these have used my name, you
certainly should have inquired if they
have received credentials from me,
for send none who cannot produce
testimonials both of character and
ability to do house work. | know the
needs of Californian's households,
and know the needs of our domesti-

them above the servant class. No
more useful work was ever inauger-
ated, and upon this, your pen has
aimed a needless blow.

The Pykc Opera Com pany.

Monday night marks an epoch in
the history of the Pavilion since the
time OF its conversion into a place of
amusement. The Pyke Opera Com
pany will make the very walls rever.
berate with the beautiful, melodious
strains OF Johann Straus' "a Night
in Venice" the amusing argument of
which is as follows:
Scene: a village near Venice.
Afterwards in the city. Duke Urbino,
rake, finding Senator Delacqua about
to send away his neice Barbara, to
avoid the gallants of the Carnival.
orders his barber, Caramello, to ab-
duct her and bring her to the palace.
By mistake the rogue carries off his
own sweetheart, Anina, while Bar
bara elopes with Enrico, her afiianced.
There is "trouble' at The palace, and
in its midst Delacqua arrives with a
pretty girl, Ciboletta, sweetheart Of
Pappacoda, to pass her off as Bar bara.
inst then Pappacoda arrives aud
there is scene. The fair ones plague
their lovers and escaping, are pur-
sued by the Duke into the midst of
carnival festivity. By strategy the
girls battle the Duke. Affected by the
merry spirit OF the hour, he forgives
them, and all are happy except the
Duke.

than we'll rendered; with the double

chorus the ensemble will be complete.
The popular prices of admission
should not be misconstrued into any
thing that may belittle the actual
worth of the Pyke company, for the
names of its members are guarantee
of its worth, as the management
claims that the company is equal to
any that has ever played in Los An

PEOPLE,.

A London tailor's dictum was that
he could take q meal sack and make
a suit of clothes worthy of a gentle
mans wearing If the fit was right.
Gentlemen have fancies in dressing.
One goes for something snowy, an
other expressly calls for special
weave, and so on. But the particular
points Of q suit are fit and style. Ma
terial and making may be ever so
good, but condemnation will be swift
If there be failure in fit and style.
In these two points our stock of suits
for business and everyday wear full
fills the highest ideals of dress; with
due attention given to propriety Of
fabrics and perfectness of making,
and, above all, with the wit of the
clothier-his Misunderstanding at
its brightest, in the tone of fashion
reigning in them, impalpably, dis
tinctly stamping them as stylish and
faultless in fit. We extol these less
highly than gentleman would in ex-
amining them. They are ready
