this section. The reverend writer
suffered his evenness Of spirit to be
too much rufled by the discovery he
made that people in Los An
eeles are getting rich too fast.
He is of the opinion that a collapse
of the "boom" is necessary
in order to open mems ears to his sa-
cred message. This fact, SO untoward
in its effect from his standpoint,
seemed to color all he saw hereabouts.
He forgot that the parable of the rich
man entering Heaven and the camel
going through the eye of a needle, was
not intended to represent an impossi-
bility, but only a difficulty. Doubt
less many of our good Angelefios will
be Of the angelic band in the
next world in spite of the
rapid increase of their worldly
goods. Even our real estate agents,
in certain exceptional cases, may
change their golden doubloons of the
earthly paradise for the golden floors
of the world to come.

ANOTHER instance OF the worthless
ness of our fire alarm system was ex-
emplified this morning. The facts
show that the entire destruction Of
Mr.. Van Nuys' costly residence was
due to inefficiency of this system.
The alarm turned in at one place
was not received at any of the engine
houses. When the Chief reached
the scene, the fire had progressed so
far that he determined to turn in a
general alarm, but the system would
not work, and the message had to
be sent by hand. Had the sys-
tenn worked correctly, the depart
ment would have reached the
fire in time to stay its
ravages; but as it was the palatial
residence became total loss. Now,
this is not the first, second, nor even
the fortieth time the Richmond sys-
tenn has failed to send in correct
alarm. Is is not time that the safety
of this city should be considered Of
greater Importance than the retention
of an alarm system that works but
enthusiastically, and even when it
does work causes more harm than
good by sending the engines in wrong
directions?

Congressman FELTON, says that we
are paying $3.50, 900, 900 annually for
foreign tonnage for the carrying of our
products to market, and the only way
to keep this wealth in the country is
for the Government to give aid to the
restoration of the merchant marine.
This is true, but what can you do
when the President and the lower
House of Congress are hostile to
American ship-builders ?-[Tribune.
Will not our able and amiable
neighbor relieve an anxious public by
setting forth in what respect the
President and lower House of Con-
ress are hostile to American ship
builders?''

The San Francisco Chronicle, in a
discussion of the question whether or
not Dakota is to gain admission to the
sister hood of States during the present
session of Congress, takes the view
that it is quite proper to have de-
feated the scheme OF cutting that
great territory in two. This raises in
the mind of the writer the obvious
point that the United States Senate,
as at present constituted, gives the
States Of the Atlantic sea-border a
large advantage of influence as
compared with the West. Our
able metropolitan contemporary
proposes, as remedy to this,
a constitutional amendment by which
each State shall have representation
in the Upper House of our National
Legislature in proportion to- its popu-
lation. The case of California when
our State shall have population of
many millions, as she is quite sure to
have before many years, is glanced
at. The plan is chinerical from the
present point of view. 1t would be
most difficult to get such an amend
ment to the Constitution passed. In
our own case the easiest remedy is to
divide the State. This will give us four
Senators. There is a great host OF rea-
SONS why the State of South Califor-
mia should be erected. And excepting
the one reason that the Bay counties
prefer to hold us in our present condi-
tion of vassalage to them, there is no
reason for denying Home Rule to this
end of the State. 1t will come ere
many more revolving years inscribe
their story on the pages Of history.

The Oakland Enquirer a few days

The Oakland Enquirer few days
ago did a halfway graceful thing by
Los Angeles. Mr.. Eugene German
was in that city visiting a member of
his family, and while there a reporter
of the Enquirer took occasion to get
his views, knowing him to be the in
telligent President Of our Board of
Trade. Mr.. German is a right loyal
Angelefio, and as such set forth very
graphically and gracefully the many
points of prime advantage held by
the good city of the Angels.
1t was very succint statement of
of the reasons why Los Angeles grows
as she does. The halfway perform
ance of the business was on the part

many Of the leading Republican pa
pers of that section on the side of
Tariff Reform, when men like Senator
Allison go home for the holidays and
return from Iowa loaded up with Re-
form doctrines, it must be most ap
parent that Tariff for Surplus is a
doctrine which will be met by cy-
clone next November. Returning to
the East we find, in all the leading
centers Of woolen industries, the same
strong sentiment for a revision
of the tariff. In New Hamp-
shire Democratic candidate
won his election to Congress
on this very issue. The Springfield
Republican, the Providence Journal
and many others of the leading Re-
publican papers Of New England de-
clare for tariff reform.
Looking dispassionately. at these
facts the conclusions seem inevitable :
No tariff bill will ALLEVIATE the South
from the Democratic party at this
time. No we'll considered scheme OF
tariff reform will disrupt the
Democratic party even in Penn
sylvania or Massachusetts,. But
on the contrary, a moderate
reduction of the imports to make the
revenue conform with the require
ments of an honest administration ol
the Government, and judiciously dis
tributed over those articles which will
injuriously affect the least number,
and benefcially affect the greatest
mum ber of people, will win over a
host OF Republicans to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket on this, the only real
issue of the day.

COLONEL ]. ]. ToBIN, Commission
er of Labor in this State, has been
spending some days in Los Angeles.
On his return to San Francisco he
was interviewed by a reporter of our
energetic contemporary, the Examiner
of that city. Colonel Tobin made ex-
cellent use of his time and has so we'll
set forth the real state Of affairs here,
80 far as his opinions are expressed,
that we give place to the interview in
this issue of the HERALD. 1t is an in
teresting statement.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-01-21

WHILE eastern tourists come in as
they are coming this week there will
be no let up in the "boom." One
party of a round thousand arrived on
Wednesday, and the same manage
ment will conduct as large party
across the continent next month.
The affable guide to this host of tour
lists who has served the public in this
capacity for many years, is authority
for the statement that there will be no
dimunition in this great stream OF
travel. The person in question,
Colonel Lewis, of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad informs us that in his party
which arrived this week were many
persons who have accompanied
him in his excursions for four
winters. Most of these are well to do
people who have purchased little
places here and come every winter to
escape the cold of the East and enjoy
the sunny winters of Los Angeles.
These are people to whom the
expense of ticket to and from
California ia mere bagatelle.
1t really costs them less to spend
the winter on their little Cali
fornia "ranch" than it would to live
at home. The change recently made
in the rates by the railroad companies
will not in any respect check this
movement. 1t is an increase of cost
OF only 500 for the round trip, and it
gives the tourist all the comforts
of travelling on a regular train,
