NIayor Workman,s Message.

We print in other columns of the
HERALD this morning the farewell mes
sage of Mayor Workman. 1t is straight
forward, business-like document, which
gives plain statement of the general
affairs of the city, and makes number
OF suggestions to the new government
worthy of consideration. The retiring
Mayor briefly adverts to the fact that we
are greatly in want OF school-room. A
very large proportion of the children are
attending school only half the time for
the want of accommodations. This
should, of course, be remedied. We
cannot afford that our school facilities
should fail to keep even with the growth
of our city and population.
The ex-Mayor hits the saloon question
square in the eyes when he says that
high license will not weed out the disor-
derly dives and deadfalls. That ia a
matter for the Police power to remedy,
by closing up the Objectionable places
and revoking the license of all places
that become disorderly. Indeed a
greater circumspection of the char
acter of the persons applying for licenses
should be observed than has here
tofore obtained. No license should be
issued to dummy" Only those who
are the actual owners or lessees of
saloons should be granted licenses, and
strict rules should be enforced about the
fro cfnr Of lioancnu u y
that in a great number of instances
saloons have been transferred to dis
reputable characters after the licenses
had been obtained by men who pass for
respectable. The police force ought to
be always able to give satisfactory testi-
mony to the Board of Police Commits
sioners on the status of any saloon.
The message discourages the accept
ance by the city of the West sewage ays-
tenn, and questions the right of any COM
pany to claim patent to a natural pro-
cess of disinfection which has been in use
in many cities for years, with perhaps
slight variations in the modes of filtra-
ton and deodorization. On this point
the outgoing and the incoming Mayors
both agree, the latter considering it pre-
sumptuous for any company to try to
make the city pay a large bonus for a
system which it can carry out itself.
The ex-Mayor treats upon the wonder
ful growth of the city and the difficulties
that accumulated suddenly upon the
Executive on account of this sudden
growth. Yet he points with pride to the
fact that Notwithstanding this abnormal
condition, the peace and good order of
the city has been preserved, and that the
public Improvements so suddenly rem
dered necessary have been pushed for
ward, not perhaps as rapidly as we could
desire, but as expeditiously as it was
possible under the circumstances.
The message will be read with interest.

THE GENTILES OBJECT,
A Protest Against the Admission OF
Utah as q State.

SALT LAKE, December 1.-THE Liberal
Committee OF Utah issued to-day the
following address to the country. -
SALT LAKE, December IL, 1883. p
The Liberal Territorial Committee.
representing Republicans and Democrats !
alike, desire t. call the attention of the
country to the fact that the gentiles of
Utah unanimously oppose the Mormon
Statehood scheme recently endorsed
by the Democ' attic Congressional al
caucus. We are confronted by
a condition, not theory. Polypamy is
not dead. The law is not supreme.
Two hundred and thirty four indict.
ments were found at the present term of
the court at Provo for the violation of
the United States statutes designed to
suppress polygamy and polygamous liv-
ing. To give Utah Statehood would.
retard progress, depreciate values.
Perpetuate polygamy and hand the
territory over to the Mormon priesthood.
we call upon patriotic citizens every.
where to unite in strong protests to
congress against the proposed action.
The admission of Utah to Statehood
would be crime against American insti.
tutions. (Signed)
0. W. POWERS, Chairman.

gather 500 boxes. Smith & Roster have
four acres and will harvest 1,000 boxes
Ruddy, Burns & Smith have three acres
which bear 800 boxes. Monroe 4 John
son have three acres and they will sell
from their 500 trees box to the tree.
Captain J. G. Ainsworth, of Oakland,
has five acres in young orange trees,
which will bear 15o boxes.
Levi Harris has ten acres in
young orange trees which will
yield 500 boxes. Jos. Wilson has four
acres and will harvest 500 boxes. A.
Sandefur has four acres which will pro-
duce 500 boxes. The Munroe, Stude-
baker and Case ranch contains ten
acres of orange trees which will yield
1000 boxes. They also have eighteen
acres OF walnuts which yield them rev.
enue Of $500 per acre,
We have gone thus exhaustively
through this list in order to show:
First. That the profits from oranges
are universally large, and generally pro-
digious.
Second. That the scale bug
can be kept out of orchards by proper
care and good cultivation.
Many of the orchardists at Duarte are
preparing to plant more orange trees the
coming spring. Some will set out as
many as 900 young trees. Three large
nurseries at this place do thriving busi-
ness in supplying their neighbors with
trees.
The cultivation of the orange in this
section is not dead, and will not die.
Where care is taken the industry is in
as fourishing a condition as ever it was.

The Bank Robbers.

DENVER, December III. Metz, one
OF the men who made an unsuccessful
attempt to rob the Peoples Savings
and Deposit Bank here on Thursday and
was arrested, was identified to-day by
Robert Pinkerton as Horace Horan, alias
Little Horace" one OF the most notori-
GUS bank thieves of America. Hor-
ans accomplice, who escaped, is
known to be Walter Sheridan,
alias Ralston, alias Keene, and
known in Colorado as Walter A.
Stewart, another notorious bank robber.
Stewart came to Denver about fifteen
years ago with nearly $40O 600 and be-
came director of one of the Denver
National banks. He lost money by fast
living and speculation and left in 1875,
after having swindled several houses out
of considerable money.

THE NEW TEMPLE.
A Fine Audience at the Opening of
the Los Angeles Theater.

The people of our city had the oppor-
tunity to see and enjoy the beautiful
new Los Angeles Theater last evening on
the occasion Of it's being first thrown
open to the public. Every seat in
all parts OF the house was filled,
and as the dress circle, parquet
and proscenium boxes were graced
with the cream of our best people, in
evening dress, the whole scene of the
interior was beautiful in the extreme.
The theater was brilliantly lighted, and
the opportunity to admire its graceful
interior finish and the splendor
of its decorations could not have
been better. Everybody appreciated
the artistic taste shown in the
galleries and in the set of the boxes.
The tone OF the coloring was generally of
light and cheerful character, but some
exception was taken to the sombre colors
that prevailed on the back walls and
ceiling of the dress-circle. The new
opera chairs are comfortable, except in
some rows where they are so close to the
front seats as to cramp the knees of the
occupants. That is particularly the case
in the first row in the parquet under the
dress circle. There is one important sue
cess the architect has achieved, and that
is, the audience is SO seated, and the
curves and elevations are 80 nicely lined
and graded tLat there is a good view OF
the stage from every seat in the house.
The curtain rose on Diplomacy, with
Miss Jeffreys-Lewis as the Countess of
Zicka," her favorite role. If we except
Mr.. Mainhall as Captain Beauclere"
and Miss Dot Rossruore as ,"Dora," the
support was only mediocre. Indeed Miss
Jeffreys-Lewi seems to have lost some
Of the fire with which she formerly
animated the very dramatic character Of
"Zicka:" Yet the piece passed off
smoothly and maintained the interest of
the audience to the end. The scenery
and machinery of the stage worked very
satisfactorily for first night. Diplomacu
will be repeated this evening.

The MormOn Receiversnip.

WASHINGTON, December 17.--An an
swer was received to-day from the At
torney- General to the Senate resolution
of inquiry into the conduct of certain
United States officers in Utah in connec-
ton with the receivership of the property
of the Church of the Latter Day Saints,
forfeited under the Edmund's law. The
Acknowledgement says the Court ap-
pointed F. H. Dyer, United States Mar
shal for Utah, Receiver in the case
November z, 1887, the property being
of the estimated value of $S00,000. In
the beginning of certain suits Receiver
Dyer retained United States District
Attorney Peters. Allowances of $25, 900
to the Receiver, and $4,000 to his attor-
ney, were made and when the knowledge
OF this fact came to the Department OF
Justice, United States District ATTORNEY
Hobson, of Colorado, was sent to Salt
Lake City to make an examination, which
is now pending.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-12-18

Owing to noise in the Chamber, An
derson understood this to be promise
that no such resolution would be offered
and he took his seat without introducing
the measure he held in his hand.
The Speaker had recognized Breckin.
ridge, of Kentucky, to introduce the bill,
appropriating $25, 900 for the establish
ment of geological garden in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, when Anderson
became aware of his error.
He thereupon asked unanimous con-
sent to introduce the bill before him, his
purpose being to kill time by demand ding
its reading, but Outhwaite objected. The
call was then continued and several bills
were introduced.
Then Spinola. of New York, arose and
said he held in his hand bill which he
would introduce by request, disclaiming
any responsibility for single item in it..
He sent to the Clerks desk copy of the
Senate Tariff bill and demanded the
reading OF it.
Outhwaite-1n other words, the gentle
man has joined the filibusters.
Spinola-It means we will not have
the Nicaragua bill to-day.
Dunham, of Illinois, moved to adjourn.
Lost; yeas A, nays 1877.
Spinola then withdrew his bill, and
the call continued, several measures be-
ing introduced.
Morrow, of California, moved to sus.
pend the rules and pass, with amend
ment, the Senate bill increasing to $3.50.
600 the limit of the cost of the public
building in San Francisco. Agreed to.
Springer, ON behalf of the Committee
on Territories, moved to suspend the
rules and adopt resolution making the
Senate bill for the admission of the State
of South Dakota and for the organization
of the Territory of North Dakota a
special order for tomorrow and from day
to day until disposed of, provided that
an omnibus bill may be offered as sub
stitute therefor. Thereafter other bills
relating to the admission of Territories
shall be disposed of in the order fixed by
the Committee.
The motion was agreed to and the
resolution adopted. Adjourned.
The subcommittee of the House Com
mittee on Private Land Claims has
agreed to report favorably to the full
Committee the joint resolution LOOKING
to the relief of settlers on the Maxwell
land grant.

Rate-Cutting Must Cease.

WASHINGTON, December 17.-Judge
Cooley, Chairman of the Interstate
Commission, has returned from invest-
eating the rate cutting war of the North
western loads. He says the Commission
will consider the expediency of re-
commencing amendments which will
make it illegal 10 pay commissions
for the sale of tickets and require the
railroads to redeem the unused portions
of tickets for the amounts received for
them. AS long as the companies are al :
loved to pay commissions, SO long, say S
the Judge, will rates be cut. Commits
sioner Morrison thinks Congress will
have to be called upon to define excur-
sion tickets as used in the act, as m uch
OF the rate cutting is done ON that class
of tickets.

CHICAGO, December 1.-THE much
tangled Lindaner litigation has finally
been put in shape for settlement by an
agreement entered into this afternoon.
The present receiver and assignee retire.
A new receiver will be appointed by the
Circuit Court and new assignee by
the County Court. The receiver
will collect and reduce to cash all the as
sets of the firm levied on by the sheriff.
The proceeds will be held to await action
by the Supreme Court regarding the
jurisdiction Of the County Court. II the
latter is sustained, all the funds will be
turned over to the assignee. The settle
ment releases Receiver Kuppenheimer

PERSONS who own parcels Of good land
in this section should not let the weeds
make dissight Of their property. Put
something in the ground which will pay
to take care Of. The cheapest thing tc
set is the walnut tree. These do best
when the rows are fifty feet apart, and
the trees thirty feet asunder in the rows
In this way twenty-five to thirty trees
will set an acre. The trees cost ten
cents each, so that $3.50 to So worth of
trees will plant an acre. At maturity
they yield nuts which sell for $500 from an
acre Of trees. That beats weeds all to
nothing.

fice.Seeker's Mecca.
INDIANAPOLIS, December 1.-THE
President'elect had a goodly number oi
out-of-town callers to-day. A committee
representing the Grand Army posts Of
Kings county, New York. presented him
petition signed by the Commanders OF
all the Grand Army posts of Kings
county, asking him to review a parade of
T. A. K. veterans on Memorial day, next
May, and accompany the procession to
the tomb of General Grant at Riverside,
General Harrison informed the committee
that while he would be glad to participate
with his comrades on the occasion, it was
impossible for him at this early day to
make an engagement six months in
advance. The committee then asked him
to regard the invitation as a standing one.
Colonel Atkins, of Savannah, Ga, ar
rived in the city this evening and will
call upon General Harrison Tomorrow.
Atkins was the Collector of Port at Sa.
vanah for eight years under Grant, and
was afterward nominated by President
Hayes to be Federal District Judge, but
the Senate failed to confirm him. 1t is
said he is here to suggest the name of a
Southern Republican for Cabinet port
IOll0.
A delegation will arrive tomorrow
from Birmingham, Ala, representing the
manufacturers of that section, for the
purpose of presenting to the President
elect q congratrlatory memorial. They
are said to represent the combined capi-
tai OF 500. 100000, invested intirely in
the South.
The news of the nomination of Assist.
ant United States District Attorney Leon
A.. Bailey to succeed District Attorney
Sellers, who resigned, has occasioned
considerable surprise. The Republicans
claim without hesitation that Bailey's
nomination is obnoxious to General
Harrison and his friends because of the
course he pursued during the campaign
in speaking personally, and according to
Senator Mcdonald, enormously of Gem
eral Harrison. The prediction is freely
made that the nomination will not be
confirmed.
The Federal grand jury reconvened
this afternoon after q weeks recess.
There are understood to be several cleo
ton fraud indictments ready for action.

Our esteemed Republican contem-
porary, the Times, is at its old trick. II
is trying hard to make the eleven Demo-
cratic Councilmen believe that they
ought to let the four Republicans rule
them. 1t starts out with the imperti-
nence that the four Republicans are the
only honest and reliable four in the
Board, and wants to know which four of
the Democrats are decent enough to CO.
alesce with them and thus rule the
Council. Ii this is the kind of stuff
which is gong to prevail with enough
Democrats in the Board to create the
ring the Times desires to see, we may
again have the edifying spectacle of the
tail wagging the dog in the council.

bV Fabian Tactics.

bv fabian Tactics.
WASHINGTON, December 17.-In tht
House to-day, on motion of Phelan, O
Tennessee, bill was passed for the in
corporation of the American Historical
Association. Andrew D. White, of New
York, George D. Bancroft, of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and Justin Windsor
of Massachusetts. are among the incor
porators named.
The Committee on Ways and Means
reported back the concurrent resolution
for holiday recess from December 21st
to January 7th. The committee pro.
posed an amendment, substituting Janu.
ary 4th for the latter date.
The amendment was rejected and the
original resolution was passed.
Some days ago Lawlor, of Illinois, in.
troduced bill in the House pensionine
veterans when they reach the age of &C
years. To-day he introduced an amend.
inent reducing the age to 80.
A long wrangle ensued over the pro-
posal to appropriate $4,000 for the ex-
penses OF the Ford Immigrant Committee
it being charged that the Committee was
junketing and going outside of the scope
originally intended, particularly in con-
sidering the proposition looking to the
excluding of actors.
After some further debate the resolu.
tion was adopted.
The Speaker proceeded TO call the
States for the introduction of bills.
McRae, OF Arkansas, introduced bill
to settle certain outstanding accounts be-
tween the United States and Arkansas
demanded it's reading in full, his object
being to consume time and prevent an
attempt to pass the Oklahoma bill under
suspension of the rules.
Springer made the point of order that
it was not competent for a member to
demand a reading, but the point was
overruled by the Speaker.
The reading having been completed
Barnes, OF Georgia, another opponent OF
the bill, introduced bill to establish a
uniform ~ stem of bankruptcy, meas
ure Of eighty printed pages, and de-
manded its reading.
springer declared that this was an
effort to prevent the House from consid.
ering the Oklahoma bill.
The reading was interrupted bv War.
ner, of Missouri, who stated that it was
evident that the opponents of the Okla.
homa bill would not allow it's considera.
ton to-day, and in the interest of other
public business he was willing to have
the bill laid aside temporarily.
Barnes withdrew his bankruptcy bill.
The cali of States was then continued,
but after Perkins, of Kansas, had put in
q bill appropriating $4,000 for public
building at Arkansas City. Kan, the call
Of the roll was again interrupted by An
derson, of Kansas, who, with large
printed bill in his hand. said he had as
surances from Cultivate, Of Ohio, chair
man Of the Pacific Railroads COMMITTEES,
that he would not attempt to pass the
Union Pacific Funding bill under sus-
pension of the rules. He wished to call
the attention of Mr.. Cultivate and the
House to this fact.
Cultivate said he had told the gentla-
man from Kansas he would not move the
passage Of the bill under suspension, but
he had made and intended to make no
agreement which would preclude him
from offering resolution fixing q day
for the consideration of the bill.

such points. That is az error. If many
tenants will take their business out six
or even ten blocks they can draw their
custom after them. They will thus save
half to two-thirds of their rents. If fthey
will put one-quarter Of what is thus
saved into judicious advertising in the
daily papers, setting forth that under
lower rents they are able to shade prices
little they will find buyers flocking to
the new stands. Try it.
