The People Want Them.

EDITORS HERALD-I find upon investi-
cation that we have three candidates
upon our local county ticket that the
people, irrespectative of party, are de-
termined to have. These are Colonel f.
L. Hewitt, r. E. Rowan and our noble
Supervisor, Mr.. Venable, all we'll known.
Los Angeles never had more honorable
Board Of Supervisors than the present
one and all know also that Mr.. Venable
would not allow an act that had even
smell of any thing unjust about it to pass
him. We cannot afford to let him 90.
Politics are not to be considered. My
maxim is when we find man capable
and honest hang to him. especially in
the case of Supervisor. l trust voters
of his district will be wise and also every
other Supervisoral district. Respectfully,
JOHN LANG.

fathers house to stay, too, and enjoy all
her rights under the Constitution, and
that is the 'little pill" that so frequent

But, poor old Ireland! If she is left to
the greedy English on the one hand, and
the rapacity of the party of "great moral
ideas" of the United States on the other,
her forlorn condition will, indeed, be
most pitiable. JOHN COKE.

all kinds of people talking on all kinds of
subjects. Frequent drinking makes glib
tongue. and matters that might be regarded
as state secrets outside the pale of the bar

lack of reserve. The funny part of it is that
the bartender is taken seriously into the dis
cusSon and his opinions nre treated as of
great respect and authority by persons who,
when sober, have no companionship with the
mixerof drinks. Think of Il man taking his
business affairs his family affairs, his love

actually happens very, very often. Place II
