still sought after. Settlements are still
in progress, although by different adjust
ments that have taken place, a compare
lively moderate amount of money has
been necessary to bring about settle
meuts.
In San Diego affairs are somewhat diff
ferent, although inside values are hold
ing very firmly, but there is a more
marked inclination toward acreage prop
erty back of San Diego, and commonly
called the back country. The construc-
tion of the San Diego fiume, which is now
practically settled fact, being completed
across the important valleys to the mesa
land back of the city, has solved the
question of irrigation in these fertile val.
leys, which require water. The survey
ing and subdividing of several large
ranches are now in progress, and these
subdivisions are being offered at moder
ate prices and on long credit, running
over period OF from five to ten years, at
moderate rate of interest, and the offer
ing is met with favor by land-seekers,
who are, to an extent, passing by town
lot speculatiors as in the past season.

GLAD TO GET BACK.
Experiences of an Ang elenO In th

East.
Mr.. Al. Hechtman, the Union Pa
cifc's representative in this city, re-
turned yesterday from an extended tour
through the Eastern States. He says
that he was literally besieged with per-
sons asking information about Los Ange-
les county and that there is no doubt but
that there will be an enormous rush here
this winter. On the train that he re-
turned to the coast were six families
from Rhode Island on their way to settle
here and they told him that eighteen
more parties from the same town from
which they started would also be on their
way in few days. Mr.. Hechtman said
that he did not see anything in the East
that could not be obtained here and
on the other hand there were many
things that he could not get there which
he could here. Business is rather quiet,
especially in the Northwest, and a real
estate depression is noticed in a good
many of the cities. He said that he
did not see in the many places he visited,
any community as fourishing and lively
as that of this city. He encountered
some warm weather on his way home it
being 92 degrees at Omaha as he passed
through it on Saturday night. The effect
of the heat is however quite different in
California to the East. At Omaha it was
positively enervating at 92 degrees, in
Nevada at 1O2 degrees it was not so op-
pressive, and when the train passed
through Lathrop on Tuesday the passen-
gers from the East could hardly credit
the fact that the glals was registering
Ill degrees for it did not seem to be
really so warm as it had been at Omaha.

THE TRUTH.
Hon. J. M ariOn Brooks Replies to &,
stTlmes,, Statement.


EDITORS HERALD-I notice in the issue
of the Times of this morning the follow
ing under the head of "Herald and Gen
eral Vandever":
"In Jesuitical sense this may be
true; in a straightforward, manly sense,
it is false. The facts are that the original
resolution was written in the convention
hall by one member of the HERALD staff
at the instigation of another member of
the same staff. The resolution was
taken to ]. Marion Brooks, who found it
so rabid in its language that, fearing for
its fate should he present it, he rewrote
resolution, but clothing them in more
moderate language. This statement is
made on the authority of Mr.. Brooks
himself. If our contemporary can gather
any comfort from this explanation it is
perfectly welcome to do it,
This article calls for reply from me
in justice to the HERALD staff. say un-
quali6edly, that the resolutions did not
emanate from the HERALD, or from any
person connected Herewith, acting either
as reporter or solicitor or otherwise. The
resolutions were formulated by me at the
time of the last Democratic Convention,
when delegates were elected to the State
Convention, which was held soon after
in this city, and were discussed by friends
of Col. Lynch, and we then came to the
conclusion that the resolutions should be
offered later in the campaign, after the
nominations for Congress had been made.
The resolutions which introduced in
the late Democratic County Convention,
were written and formulated by
me and were drawn in accord
ance with the views l enter.
tanned, and which the Democratic
Comfy Convention entertained, and were
offered by me without the knowledge of
Col. Lynch. In fact was the first man
to inform Col. Lynch of the adoption of
the resolutions, and congratulated him
upon its passage two hours after the
Convention had adjourned. Yours etc.,

what she Mills Bill Means,

Mr.. Mills mastery summing UP of
the case for tax reduction through tariff
reform, accompanied by copy of the
bill itself, would make one of the most
effective documents that the Democrats
could circulate.
Mr.. Mills showed first the Condition"
that called for tax reduction; Treasury
surplus Of $4,000, 900, now being aug
mented at the rate of $9,000,OO0 per
month. The Democratic policy is to stop
this surplus. The Republican policy is
to spend it.
The Mills bill reduces the revenue
from universal necessities or comforts of
the people, by an abatement of taxes,
$50, 100000. 1t cuts off $40 ,000,0 900 more
by putting upon the free list other neces-
sary articles. 1t reduces the average
duty from $47.10 on every 500 of i'm
ports to $42 40. And this is called "free
tradev'
1t is an average duty 90 per cent.
higher than that of the Morrill, war
tariff of 1862. 1t is almost identical with
that of the prolonged war tariff in 1862,
which the Republicans proposed to re-
duce 20 per cent. If the promise of the
Republican Tariff Commission and the
Republican Congress in 1882 had been
fulfilled the average duty would have
been reduced to "a. 16 per cent. The Mills
Bill leaves it at AZ. 40. And yet that was
revenue REFORM" while this is "free
trade!'
The truth is that the bill does not go
far enough in the direction of low rev.
enue or freer trade. 1t is simply the
best that could be passed. If it should
become law and work we'll the people
would, no doubt, extend it. II it worked
ill they would 60 back. The whole mat
ter is in their hands. But this campaign
is to be too long and too earnestly con-
tested to admit of the deception of in
telligent voters by lying as to what the
Mills Bill isl New York World.

THE CHINESE INVASION.
To THE PEOPLE OF CALIFoRNIA:

To THE PEOPLE OF CALIFoRNIA:
The undersigned. having been appointed as
a "Citizens' Committee on Chinese Immigra-
ton, It becomes necessary to collect funds to
meet the expenses OF vigorous campaign
against the further landing upon our shores of
Chinese who are not plainly authorized to do
States. To make the work which the Commit
tee have in hand effective, large amount of
money will be required, for the campaign is
doubtless destined to be long and laborious
one, involving persistent work before Congress,
and litigation through the United States Courts
up to final decision upon the real points at is
sue, by the Supreme Court of the United States.
1. the people of California are in earnest in
their opposition to Chinese immigration. and
if they desire that no effort shall be spared to
prevent their further illegal landing, they will
not hesitate TO contribute literally to meet this
expense.
The Citizens Committee will give their time
freely and energetcally to the work which they
have in hand, but they believe that they should
have the cooperation OF their fellow citizens
throughout the State, to the extent of furnish
ing the necessary funds to make this work ef-
fective.
They therefore respectfully, but earnestly,
ask the people OF California to contribute as
literally as their individual resources will per-
NIT to the fund necessary to be raised for the
purpose herein indicated. They pledge them
selves to use their best judgment in its econom-
ical disbursement and to make every dollar
earn its largest possible value in aiding to put
an end to this momentous evil.
The publishers OF the HERALD are authorized
to receive any moneys contributed for the fore
going purposes and the undersigned, the Citi-
zens' Committee, pledge. themselves that the
committee will give such en- account OF their
stewardship when their labors are ended as
shall satisfy the people of California that they
have done all that men can do toward the sue
cessful accomplishment of the important work
which has been entrusted to them.

ditiOn-Fhe Stone Age In Building.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
An opportunity was offered yesterday
to meet Wendell Easton of Easton, Ed
ridge & Co., who has just returned from
an extended tour throughout Southern
and Lower California. Mr.. Easton said
that as result of his observation he was
more than pleased with the condition of
affairs in Southern California.
Los Angeles city matters are certainly
holding very strong, and inside city prop
erty values are rating full and strong at
the same prices that prevailed last year.
In some few transactions that have been
made moderate advance has been made
on previous quotations. The local
banks are well provided with
money. The Farmers and Merchants
Bank have on hand about 70 per cent of
the deposits and are carrying nearly $3,-
600 900 in cash. Other banks are not
quite 30 full, but are in very strong con-
dition. The German Savings and Loan
Society of this city have made very i'm
portant loans on property in Los An
geles on the basis of so per cent OF their
valuation, and they have succeeded in
securing very nearly 81 ZOO. 900 in first
class loans. The Savings and Loan Socie.
ty Of this city have also made some i'm
portant loans, the last and most impor-
tant one being loan to the Abstract and
Title Company of $4,000 on their new
building, and there is loan now pend
ing from the same institution on the
property of the Board Of Trade of about
$50. 1000.
What MI. Easton is pleased to term
the "stone age" in California has re-
ceived quite an impetus in Los Angeles
by the construction of many new build
ings with stone from different quarries in
California and Arizona and New Mexico.
The new City Hall is being constructed
of granite and brick. The new opera
house is being constructed of beautiful
chocolate-colored sandstone. j. B. Lank-
ershim is building fine block of pressed
brick with stone trimmings, and many
millions of dollars are now being laid out
in the construction of buildings and the
completion of contracts which were made
last spring. Money matters generally
in Los Angeles are easing up consider
ably, although money is commodity

A Knave or an Idiot,

New YORK, August 29.-Armand Cial-
leau, a French merchant of San Francis
CO, under arrest on a charge of SNUG
Cling, was arraigned for examination be-
fore the United States Commissioner to-
day. Cialleau made contradictory state
ments to the Commissioner regarding
the case against him. He explained an
attempt at a similar offence a year ago
by stating that he had been told that he
might evade the payment of duties on
certain articles by leaving sum of
money in the top of his trunk. The
Commissioner characterized the accused
as either a shrewd knave or an absolute
idiot and held him in $4,000 bail.

These come so seldom in this country

Only one case where the lightning
struck has been reported. This was the
