TALKING about the necessity Of good
streets and thoroughfares, we have a
case in point. Last year physician ar
rived in Los Angeles, as the eeant courier
OF little band of wealthy people from
st. Louis, who desired to settle in a
semi-tropical climate. The Doctor hap
pened to put in an appearance in the
middle of one of our heaviest rains, and
San Fernando street looked like that
great Serbonian bog, betwixt Damietta
and Mt. Cassius old, OF which Milton
speaks in Paradise Lost. He peered dis
trustfully in the mud, which was any
where from foot to yard deep, shook
his head, never left the Depot Hotel,
bought return ticket and went back to
st. Louis on the next train, certain that
he knew all about Los Angeles, and sat
isfed that he had been made the victim
of gross misrepresentation as to
our attractions. He really did
know something of our streets.
He next hied him to Florida,
where he has built handsome house
and to which State he has taken quite a
little colony. Los Angeles would have
had the benefit of the very considerable
wealth of these people if we had been a
little more solicitous about providing for
the comfort of strangers. This is nc
fancy sketch. The HERALD has the name
and address Of the physician in question
and will cheerfully impart it to any one
who has any curiosity in the matter. Nc
such a disgraceful condition of things
should be permitted around any of oul
principal depots again. In fact, the very
most remunerative investment this muni
cipa lity could make would be to spend
two or three hundred thousand dollars
in extending our street system between
now and the rainy season. 1t would bt
bread on the waters.

THE utmost energy in street and sewer

The utmost energy in street and sewer
making should be shown between now
and the winter rains. There can be no
question but that thousands of people
were repelled from Los Angeles last win
ter by the wretched state in which our
principal thoroughfares were permitted
to remain. We have now some fairly
good streets, and we should strain every
nerve to add to them. With attention
paid to preserving our climate as the
best in the world, and good streets, our
population will double in five years.

AMUSEME ENTS.
Joshua WhftcOmb's New Play a,
the Grand Opera House.

the Grand opera House.
An excellent audience, both as regards
quantity and quality, assembled last
night again to witness Mr.. Denman
Thompson in his new play, The Old
Homestead, at the Grand Opera House.
The play is, in its conception and in its
presentation, ideally perfect. 1t is a
perfect idyl of New England life and
manners. In all the details the closest
possible attention has been paid to the
underlying facts and principles OF
the descendants of the Mayhower
pilgrims. The Old Homestead is fully
worthy OF these people. 1t is absolutely
clean. 1t relies for its success on its
merits. There is not meretricious line,
word nor gag" in the entire piece. 1t
is brimful of that genuine mother wit
for which the Yankee has been lannon's
for century.
The piece is full of excellent music.
There is double male quartette which
sings popular old.time airs without ac.
compartment, and they do it we'll. The
voices are good, and they are used we'll.
Besides the very artistic work done by
Mr.. Thompson there is much that is
most admirable done by his assistants,
and Mr.. Thompson is artistic in all he
essays down to those "pidgeon wings" he
cuts in the final dance. Many of those
in the play are cast in a double role and
they are so perfectly fitted to both parts
that even careful observer must look to
the programme to discover this fact.
Among those who deserve special COM
mendation for their perfect art are the
Tramp" Happy jack" which is done
by Mr.. Walton Gile, and I" Eb Gangey,"
a gawky country lad, which is we'll taken
off by j. L. Morgan. "Cy Prine," by A.
Bevne, and "Seth Perkins," by Walter
Lennox, Sr., the two old boys, are also
we'll conceived characters. Chauncy AL
colt favors the audience with severa
really good songs. Gus Kamneslee does
the same. Lovers of refined but really
stirring fun cannot afford to miss seeing
The Old Homestead, which holds the
boards for the week.

LET US have decent campaign, !"
says the New York Tribune. All right,
let us have it. But we despair of
achieving that much-to-be- desired object
when in other columns of the same
paper we read low-fung personal abuse
of President Cleveland and the sage of
Columbus.

THE Tribune stereotypes this phrase
Free trade means starvation wages"
Who is asking for free trade? Not the
Democratic party. All they want is to re-
form tariff made exorbitant to meet the
exigencies of war, and to reduce taxes
SO as to conform to the condition of times
of peace.

A CORRESPONDENT writes suggesting
that the Republicans should not be
allowed to enjoy a monopoly of the
American flag, and he thinks it would be
good idea to have plenty of these en-
blems in the great demonstration of
Saturday next. 1t would certainly do no
harm to have as many as possible of
them in all professions. The American
flag is very inspiriting thing and ex-
cites memories that cannot be too often
revived. Few dispassionate persons,
however, care to see it used as hand
kerchief. This Republican attempt to
offset the bandana is about as silly fad
as could be devised. Our correspondent
winds up by saying that the Republicans
ought to accept the challenge of the
lroquois Club for joint discussion of
the issues of the day. Very true. They
ought to do it but they dare not. They
know perfectly well that the Democrats
would demolish them. The 1thurial
spear of truth would prick the lying bub-
bles which have been set afoat to dazzle
the eyes of the giddy. No joint discus
sions are desired by Republican orators
on the tariff question. ALI they ask is to
be let alone. Every man they can hood
wink into voting the Republican ticket
by lies about Cleveland and the Mills
bill that would have disgraced Mum
chausen or Marco Polo is SO much gain.
They are wise in their day and genera
ton and believe in letting we'll enough
alone. Their little game will be attend
ed to, however.

DOn,t Like w. II.

A former Fargo man, now sojourning
at Walla Walla, W. T., writes as follows
to the Argus: II will give you my opin.
Ion of Washington Territory. Here to-
day the dust is blowing in clouds as bad
as tho Dakota billiards of snow. All the
land which have seen in this territory Is
nothing but sand bed, so that when the
wind blows hard it fills the air with
clouds of dust and, if this isn't worse
than any Dakota blizzard, then I don't t
know my head from potato. Why, one
acre of good Dakota land is worth, for
farming purposes, all the land I've seen
here. 1t is rumored, however, that there
is some good land in Washington but, if
there is, it is all taken up. Those whs
come here now can get sand farms but
they must invest in water, and it costs to
water their land. Then, perhaps, they
may raise few potatoes. Friends in
Dakota, content yourselves at home, fol-
'tar-away fields always look green.
There are crowds coming here. Most OF
them pay all their money to the railroads,
and some walk; but I can't see where
they will get work. There are fifty men
to ono job. Ne one has to take my adj
vice. Pm telling what know, though -

wild Buckwhent.

One of Cass county's pioneer farmers
writes to a local paper as follows ::
"Without fear of contradiction I offer
the following receipt for the destruction
of wild buckwhcat and its use as a fertil-
izer. In the fall plow that part of the
farm intended for summer fallow next
season. Plow it light-not over two or
three inches deep. About the 10Th or
Goth of the following May with spike-
tooth harrow drag the land thus plewcd,
which will kill about one-half Of the
young buckwheat plants. Plew deep
between the 1st and 18th of July, using
short rolling coulters to cut through the
dense growth of buekwheat, which will
be as heavy crop of vegetable matter to
turn under as the best crop of red clover
you ever saw. Drag the ground just be-
fore harvest, and the job is done. This
method of treatment requires consider
able work, but 1t is the only way to get
rid of wild buckwheat"

Mrs. Livcrnore,s Experience.

Mrs. Mary A. Liverlnore, the noted lcc-
turer, recently wrote 10 the Boston Ad-
vcrtiser giving her experience with the
New England blizzard:
''The storm was fearful in New Hamp-
shire. Tho house in Andevcr that gave
me hospitality during the aerial racket
seemed to have sunk into the ground, it
was so barricadcd with colossal drifts
that changed shape and place as the winds
tore over and around them. The doors
and windows were hidden from the view
Of outsiders by the mountainous piles of
snow. On Saturday morning narrow
path was cut out from one door, to give
me egress. Three men laid robes and
blankets on the fiftcen-foot drifts that l
might walk over them dry shod to the
sleigh. was seated in the middle; a
man sat on each side, while another stood
in 'front.' all changing their positions as
it became necessary to throw their weight
on one side or the ether, to prevent the
upsetting of the little sleigh, and so by
skillful management we reached the rail
road station"
