Los ANGELES Cry during the holiday
season has presented a truly metropoli-
tan appearance. The main thorough
fares of the city have been alive with
simply immense crowds of humanity.
The metropolis of the Coast is the Bay
City. Those who are well acquainted
with that place and who have seen the
streams of people flowing along Kearney,
Montgomery and Market streets, and
who for the past week or ten days have
witnessed the masses of people edging
their way along our own streets could
not avoid making comparisons, nor could
the reflection that this is really city of
large population be suppressed. Having
seen the avenues of San Francisco
during holiday times as well as
others for twenty years, we are free to
say that never have we seen crowds on
them which could at all discount those
on our own streets during the past few
days. For mile along each of our. main
business thoroughfares the surging

THE condition of Negro alley and that
portion of Chinatown back of the Plaza is
simply disgraceful. 1t is now nearly a
year since the demolition of the old adobe
Coronel block was commenced. That has
been removed, but the street through
from Los Angeles street to the Plaza can
not be said to have been ever opened.
There are fragments of walls remaining
where the thoroughfare should go, and
the old street that is left is in a worse
condition than it ever was before. The
opening of Los Angeles street to the
Plaza has been a subject of discussion
for fifteen years and over. The question
has been in the courts a number of times
and it has been presented in all sorts Of
shapes. About year ago we
thought that all points had been
settled, and that the matter would
be brought to a successful conclusion.
But it seems that there were still obsta-
cles to overcome, and these are yet in the
way. The whole quarter is disgrace
to the city, and made more apparent by
che contrast of the Plaza itself, which is
charmingly laid out and embellished with
flowers and shrubs.

ViVe BOulanger.

PARIS, December 25.-General Bou.
langer's cause has received an immense
accession in the canditature of General
Montalbon for the seat in the Chamber
Of Deputies. His appearance as candi-
date in the Department of the
Somme, conjoined with General
Boulanger opens favorably for
the Boulangists the most momentous
election of the campaign. The Ministers
felt the danger greatly and to-day they
held council at Elyssee to consider how
to face the situation. General Montal-
bon's election address is frank espousal
OF the Boulanger programme. He de-
nounced the Chamber of Deputies and
demands the summoning OF Constitu-
ent Assembly as alone competent to
express the National will.
General Boulanger in an interview to-
day said: "The first act of the govern
ment, if the country raises me to the
Presidency will be to repeal laws relating
to punishment, re-admit everybody and
open to all Frenchmen the France which
l love so well.'

INDICATIONS are not wanting that the
internal revenue taxes will be reduced,
and that it will be through these reduc-
tions that the accumulation of tine sur
plus is to be stopped. Tobacco growers
in the border States are clamoring for
some revision of the excise duty now
placed on their products, and these
clamors are very likely to find attentive
ears. The policy of the incoming ad-
ministration will look to conciliating
the South by all means. The border
States are developing decided leaning
towards the Republican party, and we
must be prepared to see a concerted
effort made to foster this feeling. If the
Republicans in the Senate and
Lower House propose to reduce the
tax on tobacco, the members of the
other party will hardly find it in their
hearts co put much opposition in the way.
Whether this programme is to be en-
larged 30 as to take in spirits as well as
tobacco remains to be seen. 1t will not
be surprising if such should prove to be
the case. The same States that are SC
much interested in the production oi
tobacco are also largely interested in the
distillation of spirits. The same farmers
who raise the leaf that goes into "fine'
cut'' and "maduros" produce the
corn which is converted into
bourbon and the other grades of whis
key. 1t is not then at all unlikely thai
"boose," as well as the "weed," will be
relieved of part of the tax now imposed
on it. There are more than one or two
reflections to be made on this subject
One is that remission of the tax will no
greatly benefit the farmers. Corn an(
natural leaf will not feel the benefi
seemingly to be derived from low taxes
Nor will the consumer pay much less fol
his tipple or for his puff than he doe
now. The midd,emen and manufacturer
will declare dividend equal to the
amount of tax remitted. Another re-
Election is that in these proposed mea
sures our Solons are running counter t.
what has seemed so wist
to all the civilized nations o
our time. 1t has come to bt
accepted as an axiom that luxuries, in
indulgences and things generally no
necessities, should bear the brunt of tax
alton, while the everyday needs OF the
people, and things of universal consump
ton and prime necessity should be made
as cheap to the consumer as possible
But perhaps party politics rather than
broad statesmanshipis is to be the basis OIL
which this is to be settled. If that bs
the programme, then reasoning is .
waste Of breath, and the less said tht

m asses have moved as closely pack ed to-
gether as they could be imagined. The
displays OF holiday attractions in the win
dows too, may serve as an index of the
magnitude of the city and of the wealth
Of its people. Many of the stores set out
an attractive display OF jewelry, bijou-
terie, bric-a-brac, articles of vertu,
knick-knacs, and of useful things which
would do credit to the streets of New
York or London. All this is something
for town which half a dozen years age
was mere border village built of adobe
brick, the center of region known as
the COW county OF California.

Thc new Years ssHeraid.v

THE New YEARS HERALD will be one
of the most interesting publications ever
issued in Southern California. We shall
print mammoth edition OF that number,
and have already received extensive
orders for copies from the East.
In addition to the presentation of the
yearly statistics of the county and the
section, it will contain great mass of
carefully prepared matter upon the re-
sources, attractions, advantages and
possibilities of our county. 1t will show
where lands can be had for all prices,
from the lowest to the highest. 1t will
illustrate the capacity and value of our
soil by showing what has been and what
is being done. No subject of interest to
the fastener who is looking for a home
will be omitted.
The New YEARS HERALD will be ex-
tensively read everywhere, and will
exercise decisive influence upon persons
abroad who think of coming to Cali
fornia in choosing this section to settle
in. We are taking especial pains to make
this issue complete in every detail relating
to the advantages which this county
offers to the newcomer. This is in line
with the good and effective work the
HERALD has done continuously for fifteen
years. 1t has always taken hopeful
and optimistic view of Los Angeles and
Southern California. Even in times
of the greatest depression, the HER
AID has insisted that county
SO richly gifted as ours-with an incom-
parable soil and delicious climate
with mountains of unapproachable
grandeur, valleys of matchless fertility,
and scenery such as is unsurpassed for
its beauty and picturesqueness-w
always insisted that such advantages
would in the end make our
county and section the Mecca
of the worlds health-seekers
and the goal of all who desired to live in
soft and salubrious climate, where the
minimum of labor would secure the maxi.
mum of results. Our prophecy has been
fulfilled. The past six years have wit
messed wonderful change not only
in Los Angeles, but in every city
in Southern California. People are
focking here from all parts of the Union
and Europe. From village our city
has grown into metropolitan proportions,
and the population of our whole section
has Occupied in the past few years.
This movement must be kept up. We
have room here for millions of industri-
GUS and energetic people. Our lands
will support them in princely style, and
our possibilities in commercial and in
dustrial development are unlimited.
The HERALD continues the good work
it began in 1874, and will continue it to
the end. Orders for the New Years
edition should be sent in at once.

AMUSEMENTS.
The Abbott Opera Season at tn,
Grand.

Gfands
The musical people of the Angelic city,
of all, should have been pleased with
their Christmas day. For is not Emma a
Abbott the prime favorite among artis Is
with Los Angeles play-goers here with a
really well selected and admirably
rounded company, and with repertoire
so exuberant in embracing dozen oil
the rarest compositions of the masters of
all time here? Yesterday was devoted to
the ever-charming Martha at the matinee,
and to the picturesque and tuneful
Mikado in the evening. And such a
house as filed the Grand at this last
performance In all its parts standing
room was at premium. Even
the boxes looked as if they were really a
part of the auditorium, as they were all
filled with elegantly dressed parties.
And so resplendent were the toilets of the
ladies of the city in all parts of the house !
Miss Abbott and her company scarcely
need to be more than announced to the
people of this city. The casts are in the
main the same as appeared here year
ago. There are Montegriffo and Michel
ena, the tenors, Pruette and Broderick,
the bassos, Miss Annandale, the con-
tralto, and dainty little Bertini, so pretty
and so chic. The play-goers of Los An
geles know them all so we'll
Yet there is really something new to
say about Miss Abbott. Any one who
heard her sing the Last Rose of Sum
mer" yesterday could hardly help ask
ing how had she accomplished this-to
throw 30 much more feeling and express
sion into the air and words than she did
even last year! Her tender caresses to
the flower, and her voice go full of tears
as che sang of it as having gone to ioin
all its lovely companions all scentless
and dead were very pathetic.
In the Mikado the feature of the even
ing was the introduction of very elabor-
ate aria from another opera. 1t is shame
not to recall the name of it, for it is one
OF PATHS masterpieces. Yet for the life
of the critic he cannot recall at the mo-
ment he wants it, either the opera or the
song by name.
The Mikado is, of course, the same per-
tect, elaborate, gorgeous, picturesque
and tuneful thing as Of old under Miss
Abbott's management. BY the way,
Allen introduces in the role OF
"Ko Ko" a great deal OF excellent new
business. Tonight is the only presenta-
ton of Ruy Bias.

MosT delightfully."- indeed was the great

MosT delightfully."- indeed was the great
Christian holiday passed in the Angelic
City. All circumstances combined to
make it so pass. The day, while not
quite 80 sunny as the average even Of our
December days in this delightful climate,
was a charming one. For few hours
the sky was somewhat overcast, but dur
ing the earlier hours Of the day, and
again in the afternoon, the weather was
that of late April, or early May day in
the New England or Middle States. The
range of temperature was about 45 de-
grees to 65 degrees for the twenty-four
hours. For the daylight hours it
ranged at about 60 to 65 degrees.
The hills are all green as summer mead
ows are in the East. The grasses are six
to eight inches high on all the plains,
and in all the gardens around the city
the roses, callas, heliotrope, hibiscus
and other flowers are in the fullness OF
bloom usually associated in peoples
minds outside of this section with June
or July. To discuss the more prosaic
phases of the situation, our people are all
in highly prosperous condition. The
season opens most auspiciously for the
farmers and fruit-growers of our section.
Rains to the extent of nearly ten inches
for the season have fallen, which have
wet the soil to its lowest
available depths. These precipita-
tions have come at such opportune
intervals that not drop has
gone to waste. With half as much
more rain during the next three months,
and distributed at proper spaces between
the downpours, we should see in the sum-
mer such plethoric harvests as no other
part of the country will have anything
to compare with. Again, such markets
as ours can be found nowhere outside of
the sunlit SEM. tropics. With the usual
concomitants of such genial sunlight,
there are not only the traditional turkey
and cranberry sauce to be had here
mostly imported from Wisconsin as the
original source of the sauce and Kansas as
the native heath of the grasehopper
fed turkey-but there were aon the tables
OF all denizens hereabout sweet potatoes,
fine lettuce, celery and caulifower, green
peas, Lima and string beans; and all the
various varieties of fruits, from the golden
orange celebrated in fable, down to the
ordinary apples celebrated too in tradi-
tion as the forbidden fruit, which laid the
foundation for Christmas day.

The Times, which in all things except
Prurient stories, either copied from fash
papers published in the East, or imagin-
ary narratives Of personal filth, which it
locates in Humboldt, Modoc, or some
other far away county in the mountains
OF California. is always being scooped,
had great whine in it's issue of yester-
day because the HERALD "scooped" it
on the Kirste defalcation. 1t alleges
bad faith on the part of the HERALD in
the matter. The fact is that this journal,
through its diligent and always respon-
sive reporters, came into possession of
all the facts of Kirste's disgrace. With
its customary good nature, the HER
AID wanted to save the Young
man and his family from ruin,
and readily assented to propo-
sition made by some officials of the
Santa Fe Railway Company to forbear
mention of the details if the other morn
ing journals would enter into similar
agreement. Mr.. Lynch, for the HERALD,
expressly stipulated that his journal
of which it had the exclusive property,
than carry dismay to the heart of a
young wife. Colonel Eastman, of the
Tribune, upon being informed of the at
titude of the HERALD, expressed similar
generous sentiments. When it came to
the Times, however, whose editor INDUCES
in accusations of bad faith as to the
HERALD, Colonel Otis fatty refused to
protect the young man; and knowing
nothing of the facts, tried to bully the
officials of the Santa Fe into
giving them to him. They declined,
with thanks. Finding that the defalca-
tions of Kirste were greater than they
supposed, and that the deficit could not
be made up, these gentlemen released
the HERALD and Tribune from any obli-
cations of silence. As the Times had not
entered into this stipulation, and knew
nothing of Kirste's defalcation, it said
nothing, as a matter of course. As the
Tribune had stipulated reticence without
knowing anything about it, it said moth
ing. As the HERALD knew all about the
transaction, and was released from all
obligations OF secrecy, it published the
story which the enterprise Of it's reporters
had cleaned. The story told by the
Times about the matter is lie, as usual.
Elsewhere appears the true narrative of
the abortive effort to shield young man
whose disgrace is now shrouding an
unhappy family, and from it will be seen

THE Chamber OF Commerce has sent
out notices to citizens to the effect that
subscriptions will be solicited to raise
money to advertise our county through
out the East. This is q correct move.
If we lay back on our oars and do moth
ing, the immigration will all pass our
doors. In order to do effective work the
Chamber must have money, and plenty
of it at that. The northern
counties, taking their cue from
the liberal, sagacious and energetic
action of Los Angeles, which few years
ago was SO wisely directed and which
bore such good and bountiful fruit, have
risen to the exigencies Of the occasion,
and are flooding the East with printed
matter setting forth their advantages and
attractions. In addition to this they
have a fine display of productions on
wheels, which they are exhibit
ing in every western town. 1t
is accompanied by lecturers, who
are extolling the northern counties and
spreading special literature broadcast.
