SLANDERING TIE WASH.
ING HON COLORED PEO-
PIE.
(The Weekly Observer.)

In the Los Angeles TRIBUNE of Wednes-
day last, was an article from the washington
correspondent to that paper branding the col
o. ed people of the ,pitai as lazy, ignorant
malicious, mischievCus brutes. The article
ridiculed their hair, complexion and dress,
and poked all manner OF fun at their beney
0ient societies and churches. In short the
Washington letter in the Tribune of We'd
nesday strove TO make the world believe that
the coored people of the city of Washing On
are the most depraved barbarians in all
Christendom. The Tribune being the best
the leading and tie only simon pure Repub
hcan newspaper in Southern California
whatever appears in it's columns to The Ne
gro is all right.
Will Mr.. Calvin Chase, uf the Washington
BEE, tell us whether the TRIBUNE's WASH
lngton correspondent has told the truth or
not. We will gladly reproduce any state.
ment the BEE might make ON the subject,
Mr.. R. 9. 0. Benjamin, of Los
Angeles, CAL, and editor of the
weekly Observer, is one of the ablest
and one of the youngest colored
editors in this country. In his
editorial comment Oh an article
in the Los angeles Tribune against
the eoIored people of this city, he
concludes his article by asking the
editor OF the BEE whether the
statements made by the Washing
too correspondent of th,t paper
are true.
In reply to Mr.. Benjamins'
questions, the BEE presents the
following facts, which defy con-
tradictiOn.
The colored peop'e of this
city are the most in
dustrious and equally as refined
and educated as me white people.
They have their social gatherings
on a high order and their private
receptions that will compare to
tue whites III intelligence and re-
fnement. There are all kinds of
professions, business, &C., among

the eolored people that will equal
any of the whites.
There was time when white
professional men. contractors,
builders. &C., had all the patron
age among the colored people OF
a population of $4,000, but now
the coIored profession, contractors,
&C., have supplanted the whites,
and the colored people. to a great
extent, employ those of their own
race. In regard to the colored
people in business, there are all
branches as will be seen in last
weeks issue of this paper. There
are but few idle colored people in
the whole city, and if it were so
that they could get employment
there would not be an idIe color-
ed person in the C ty. There is
not city in the Union where the
colored people are as industrious
as they are here. The c0lored
churches, business houses of all
kinds. the colored schools,
societies of all kinds t.,
will surpass or equal any in this
country. This city is the great
educational centre of the world
There are artists Of every discrip-
ton, bui!de s, educators, orators,
philosophers, historians, scientists,
and the like. Point out 10 the
BEE arother city like this and the
BEE will point out a heaven on
e|rth. I he prejudice is so great
against the colored people in this
city until it is wonder how they
do exist. The superintendent of
the colored schools is a man of
property. TIE late collector of
taxes, John +. CoJk, has built a
monument that will be handed
down to ,s'erity lie is the
owner of the finest business CEN

is real estate lawyer IN this ciiy
in the person OF Mr.. James Harry
Smith, who does more business
among all classes irrespective of
color tlian any twenty men in any
state. TIE virtue of the females

country, L s Angeles, 10; except

The best talent, the most refined
educators, the most industrious,
the most advanced, may be found
in this city. The population of
he colored people is about $4,000
and they own real estate to the
amount OF Sl0,0OO,OOO and over.
No one but liar and paltroon

ANOTHER TRICK

If Prot. f. l.. Cardoza believes
that his mode OF warfare against
Prof. Brown is just, he will find out
differently after he is investigated.
TIE petition of those fresh upstarts,
to the board on last tuesday even
ing, against Prof. Brown to the eff
feet that he couldn't speak English,
seems to have been instlgated by
Prof. Cardoza. These young miss
es will be given an opportunity to
substantiate what they have said
in that petition.
We are surprised to know that
the parents of those young ladies
should have allowed their daugh-
ters TO be party to n dirty and
nasty scheme To justify a defense.
1t is evident that that petition was
not spontaneous which is suffi-
cient upon it's face ior the
removal of Prof. Cardoza. 1t is
cowardly and unmanly which
should demand the immediate con-
s'deration of Prot. Gregory, DR..
Fraucis and Mr.. Cornish, who have
been appointed special commit
tee to investigate the High School
and Prof. Cardoza. Tue country
knows that Prof. Brown is gentle
man of intellectual worth. Even
Mr., Cook was disgusted when
Cardoza'S school girls petition Was
read before the school board last
Tuesday n ght. He knew it was a
lie and libel upon competent
young man, and no one but a cow
ard would have sent such a petition
to the school-boaTd. 1t looks like
man in the water grasping at a
straw to be saved. Let us nave
fair investigation. IT Prot. Brown
bad made a personal attack on
Prof. Cardoza he would be justified
in retallating III a like manner,
but, in this case, Prof. Brown
criticised Prof. Cardoza's methods
of conducting the High School.
Now, what is the last resort? he
gets few of his pupils to sign
petition undoubtedly drawn up by
him, and sent 1t to the school
board stating that Prof Brown
doesn't speak the English language
correctly. These young ladies will
be summoned before the investiga
ton committee and if they. fail to
prove their charge they are unfit to
be retained i'll the High School and
the committee will undoubtedly
recommend their dismissal, which
will he just retribution for sign-
ing falsehood.
We are not surprised at Prof. |
Cardoza, we see that he is capable |
of anything to make a good case. !
We assure the professor that fair
investigation will be held and JUS
tice given to all parties irrespec-
tive ofsocIal cliques.
The special committee met Fri |
day afternoon in the Franklin
to investigate the mali
clous charges Prof. Cardoza made
against Prof. Brown. Cardoza had
40 witnesses present and it is evil
lent that he has libfed Prof. Brown
who was ready with his witnesses
% retute Prof. Cardoza'S charges.

vented the investigation and the
lon-appearance of Cardoza's wit.

sort well worth the outlay necessary to
make II the finest that America affords
and spot where our new arrival can
bask in our warm winter sun and think he
has surely at last found Paradise. Men
like Messrs. Wiltshire, Hubbell, Forester
and DR.. Hagan, looking as public-spirited
men into the future, and knowing that it
is our beauties and capabilities that at
tract and anchor those anxious to make
home where three-quarters OF the year is
not subject TO unbearable cold or life-de
stroying storms, have with commendable
liberality donated $1,000, on condition
that our City Fathers will give as
much more towards inaugurating the
beautifying Of this spot by first building
and decorating drive around the shores
OF the lake, and after this is accom-
plished the park will soon be laid
out in suitable flowers and trees
in such a manner as will give
us continual exposition OF what can
be done in our glorious Southern Califor-
mia. No other park in the city has re-
ceived such substantial recognition from
the citizens, and tits certain that no other
one offers the same natural advantages.
1t Is a noticeable fact that the
last twelve months have changed
the country Immediately surrounding the
Park from vineyards and grain fields
into homes OF some Of our best residents,
who have erected buildings second
to none in the city for artistic designs or
comfort. One has but to look
upon those OF the Messrs.
Jevne, Hewes, Kendall, Chicheter,
Fairchild, Frye, Harrison, Dr. Thompson
and scores OF others to see that the HER
AIDS representations are being realized
and in the very near future, with the
great cable system and two roads to
Santa Monica centering at the Park, it
will be there that those wishing to
escape the noise and dust OF q
great city will cast aside the cares of life
and wander amidst fragrant and lovely
flowers, rest under trees, the beauty OF
which no other land knows, or while
away the hours rowing or sailing on the
lake. Other cities have plenty Of
spots like our little beauty spots,
the Plaza and Sixth Street Park, but here
at the Lake Shore can be had one OF sur
passing loveliness, not to be outdone by
any OF the like acreage in the known
world, if our Park Commissioners will
only meet the citizens half way
and give nature the task of perfecting
what they begin. The lake is in itself OF
incalculable value in this country, where
lakes are seldom seen, and hundreds OF
visitors bathe in its waters or skim its
surface in improvised boats daily. 1t is
fast becoming place OF resort even
now, and would be visited by thousands
if improved. 1t is as easy to reach by
cars as any of the existing parks, as the
Ninth-street line is only two blocks re-
moved, and the cable will soon have its
terminus at its gate. Excuse me, Messrs
Editors, if Ihave drawn this out too long,
remember that your own paper struck
the keynote, to which l simply answer
by continuing the song, in very made
quate strain. L. S. T.

EDITORS HERALD: Some time over two
years ago my attention was directed
towards that part OF our city lying west
of Pearl street by a very convincing
article in your valuable paper on the
great beauties possible, should the city
improve what is now known as the Lake
Shore Park, or what WAS then known as
the Seventh Street Park, and
feeling as you do that the
greatest attraction OF our land is
in its proofs OF perpetual summer, and
that the only way to convince our East
ern visitors of the fact is by keeping al
ways before them substantial proofs OF
our wonderful floral and fruit produc-
tions, / think, perhaps, an article from
a one who was led to locate in this charm
ing portion OF our city, by undoubting
faith in your predictions, will not seem
to you unworthy OF space in your
columns. Some few days since there
appeared in the Times an article on our
parks, in which this gem OF them all was
unnoticed, and l presume the cor
respondent, like large portion of our
residents, was and is ignorant of the fact
that drive or stroll out Seventh street
street to Alvarado will bring him to the
prettiest sheet OF water Covering about
fifteen acres) that exists in Southern
California, and view OF our
mountains too magnificent to describe,
with Wilson's Peak and Old Baldy
outlined against the sky, often with their
heads crowned in snow OF dazzling white
as our summer sun greets their Arctic
crests and makes them brilliant with a
coronet OF diamonds, and saying in lam
guage most convincing to our strangers
from the frost-nipped land, "Look on
that picture and then on this''-and
looking then across the beautiful tract OF
country toward Santa Monica and the
ocean there is unfolded panorama of
fertile lands with the blue wares of
the Pacific as a fitting terminus
for so noble country. All this to.

A RICH MINE.
The Glittering Metal Discovered in
Untold Quantities.


The desert mines have been somewhat
unfavorably spoken OF by various foot
sore travellers who wasted many precious
moments in wearisome searching after
the gold and silver treasure. But it seems
that few still retained their confidence
in the great, barren wastes of land, and
while others have been growing they have
plodded slowly along and are now, con-
sequently, reaping rich harvest, and
have brilliant prospect OF being worth
their millions at no distant day. George
Hamilton, a San Bernaidino resident
and well-known miner, has just returned
from the desert and tells marvellous
stories oil wonderfully rich strike re-
Gently made there. 1t seems that in his
wanderings he stopped near Soda Lake,
on the road leading into Arizona. There
he remained and began prospecting.
But few strokes of the pick
revealed silver ore OF great
value. The strike proved to be an eight
foot vein of pure milling rock. At pres
ent the prospect is down about 70 feet and
two tons of the rich mineral have been
brought to the surface. 1t assays $1,000
to the ton. DIR. Thompson of Cotton has
become interested in the find, and pur-
chased 800 feet for 50, 900. The parties
owning the lead sold a portion OF it for
this small amount to enable them to
make further developments. Ii the
strike holds out, which at present appears
very probable, it will prove one OF the
richest made in this section OF the country
for years. San Bernardino Times.

tower at storage reservoir. Bids will be
received until ~ O'Clock, noon, Saturday,
July 7, 1888, at the office o. Colonel +. 7. .
Brown, Inspector General, Hotel Ar
cadia.
The water will be conducted in an s.
inch open pipe from point up Santa
Monica canon, distance OF about three
miles, to the first reservoir, which is to
be cement catchment holding about
100000 gallons, the fall being about 800
feet. AT the point where the water enters
the pipe there will be a subterranean
concrete dam, 100 feet long across the
cailon, and 20 feet down on bedrock. A
test well has been sunk at the point OF
the proposed dam, and it has held water
for the past several weeks to the depth OF
x feet, showing the large quantity OF
water held in storage in the canon.
From the cement reservoir to the large
reservoir it is about !, 100 feet, and from
that point to the Home tract about a
mile, making the entire length of the
pipe line nearly five miles. Beginning
at the smaller reservoir, distance OF
5000 feet, it is proposed to lay a four
inch pipe direct to the Home tract, for
immediate use. Later, it is intended to
lay twelve-inch pipe parallel TO the
four-ineh pipe, which will be used when
a large, quick supply of water is needed.
The pipes from the smaller reservoir to
the Home also pass near the large reser-
voir, which is intended to hold 100 0O0,-
900 gallons, will both be connected with
this large catchment which will hold all
the surplus water, and in the winter
time, when there is an overplus OF
water in the canyon, and diminished
need at the Home, these pipes will be
used to fill up this great storage basin.
Colonel Brown tells us there will be an
abundance of water, and OF most supe-
rior quality. But if the time should ever
come when a larger supply is needed, the
Commissioners reserve the right to tap
Sullivan canon, where the water source is
equally as good as that OF the Santa
Monica cafion.
Just here it is not out OF place to say
the day is near at hand when Messrs.
Jones & Baker will need water for the
higher lands lying between town and
1.-THE Santa Monica Cafion. 1t will then

be their most feasible plan to unite with
the Home people and bring out the water
from Sullivan Canon. and even Rustic
Canon and then make the great reser
voir, which can be made to hold 20O.-
100000 gallons, a common source OF sup
ply. 1t is high enough to give ample
pressure for all the surrounding country
and hills of this valley, while the water
sources in the cations would be at an
elevation to quickly convey the water to
the reservoir.
The matter of an ample supply Of
water for this vicinity, whatever may be
the population, has been reduced to a
mere question OF cost. There is no longer
a doubt as to quantity or quality Santa
