Mr.. and Mrs. Gouger lost their only
son last Thursday with scarlet fever.
He had been sick only a few days. He
was the oldest child and therefore held
a strong hold in the hearts and affec-
tions of his parents. All those who
knew him will remember he was a
strong healthy looking boy-a perfect
emblem of good health. Funeral ser
vice took place at the house Rev.
Beyerle officiating.

A per diem rated service pension bill
has been introduced in the United
States Senate providing for the paying
of all soldiers, sailors and marines a
monthly pension of one cent for each
day they were in the service during the
war of the rebellion. A soldier who
served 80 days would receive 80 cents
per month, and one who served 1000
days would receive SO a month and so
on. This gives each soldier justice as
to the amount of service he rendered
his country in time of need We hope
it NAV become a law.

''Be slow to follow him who is fluent
in werds and hasty with opiniens."
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-11-16

A REPORTER of the HERALD interviewed
DIR. H. s. Orme yesterday on the sewage
subject and the West system. The doc
tor has long been leading member of
the State Board Of Health, and his opin.
ion on sanitary and congener subjects
is entitled to weight. He says that
the proposed system is based upon the
principle of filtration and precipitation, a
principle which is not new, but which
has been long in successful operation in
many of the leading cities of Europe.
His plan for Los Angeles would be
for the city to dispose of its own
sewage by purchasing porous lands south
OF the city, to which point the sewage
could be led in pipes and then spread
over the soil. He says it would require
about one acre Of land to each one
hundred Inhabitants Of the city to prop
erly dispose of the sewage. That would
mean at present from seven hundred to
one thousand acres of the right kind of
land, which would amply repay the city
for its cost by its greatly increased value
when thoroughly fertilized.

There have come here recently good
many Negro laborers from the South.
They are greatly preferable in all re-
spects to the Chinese. But we would do
better with still more intelligent class
of labor. The Negro will improve in
tirne He will gain in intelligence with
each generation of the enjoyment Of
freedom. AS he rises higher in the scale
he will be more useful to the community,
and thus he will command better wages.
With better wages he will live better.
He will want better home. He will
spend more on his clothes and more on
his food. The average Chinaman does
not put twenty-five cents day into cir
culatipn. The average Caucasian puts
an average of two or three dollars a day
in circulation. The highest cost labor is
the most profitable, the most beneficial,
and as such the cheapest in the end.
The Chamber of Commerce can do good
work in inducing the most intelligent
labor OF all kinds to come here and
settle.

SELDOM does season open more aus.
piciously than the present. The rains
are setting in very seasonably, and there
is promise that the turn of the year will
see all the plains covered with grass, and
the hillsides as green as emerald. In
the country the farmers are wide-awake
to their opportunities, and already the
plows are busy turning the soil. The
big ranches have been sub. divid.
ed to some extent, and the
small farmers will harvest larger
crops from their twenty acres, then the
big ones did years ago from one hundred.
More thorough cultivation is the order OF
the new era, and it will tell. This season
should be marked in Los Angeles county
by the largest agricultural development
OF any in the history of the section. We
hope to see ct least one thousand email
farms added to the catalogue in the next
Iour months.

TRE falling off of the membersh ip G.
the Knights of Labor Of three hundred
thousand last year shows that there mus
be some serious cause of disintegratior
in that order. On June 3Oth, 1886, the
total membership was 72O, ,677, and June
3Osh. 1887. 535, 900; so that the number
of members for 1883 would only be about
235, 900. The loss of 4s5, ,e77 mem
bers in two years is as marvellous
a declination as the growth Of The order
before the year 1885 was astonishing.
II the National Convention of the
Knights now in session fail to discover
the reasons for this rapid disintegration
and provide remedy, the order will
soon become extinct. There is one i'm.
portant fact the order has demonstrated
and that is the power of labor when
thoroughly organized in this country.
And iis rapid decline will also prove
that the true principle OF labor cohesion
has not yet been discovered.

Two THINGS are very evident as part Of
the future policy of the Republican party.
One is the reconstruction of the tariff
schedule. It will be in the way of a
large reduction in the revenue derived
from taxes on imports, and larger re-
duction in internal revenue taxes-most-
ly on tobacco. The other is radical
change in the party's attitude toward
the South. "Dixie" will no longer be
an offensive sound in the ears of the
Northern Republicans. The Southern
States will be allowed to manage their
internal affairs as they please, and there
will no longer be any outcry about a
Shotgun Vote" and "Negro Oppres.

Ex-sECRETARY LICHTMAN's REPORT.
In his. report ex-Secretary Lichtman
gives detailed statement of his connec-
ton with the Order, from his admission
to the present time. Quoting from the
official records of the past sessions
OF the General Assembly to prove
the falsity OF the charges of dishon-
esty which have been circulated against
him, he showed that everything had
been satisfactorily explained to the Gem
eral Assembly, and his course was ap-
proved by resolution at the Detroit
meeting in 1881. His connection with
the General Insurance secretaryship was
in nowise the cause of the failure of the
system, for it failed because it was rot
ten. Next he took up his election as
General Secretary, two years ago, ex-
planning that by good service and busi-
ness methods he hoped forever to silence
his slanderers. He gave details to show
in what points he saved money to the
| Order in various controversies. He be-
lieved he was the target of undeserved
censure. He had printing done by
his son. who was Knight of Labor
in good standing, and he believes he
did properly in so doing, but it was less
than one-seventh of the whole amount
that it was done there. He Indignantly
denied that he falsifed accounts, ex-
planning that he had nothing to do with
paying bills, that work devolving on the
treasury. He further denied the charge
that he had employed Eon-union help at
the general offices He recommended
that the General Secretary be given alb
solute control of the clerks; advocated
the reduction of the General Executive
Board to five members, consisting of the
General Master Workman, General
Worthy Foreman, General Secretary and
two members; recommended that the
money to be placed with safe repositories !;
acknowledged the importance of the
presesent session for the veal or woe of
the order, and counselled great
care in the selection OF officers
for the ensuing year. His resignation
was appended as a part of the record.
He closed with an expression of thanks
to the general officers for courtesies, and
hoped for the continued success OF the
order.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The afternoon session was cut short
owing to the regular meeting of the
Woman's Relief Corps. AS there had
been no talk of calling on General Har-
rison, and as it was not yet settled
whether to call on him as an organi-
zat;on, the following resolution was
, adopted
Resolved, That we consider it would
be very impolitic and ill-advised action
, for any body of men from this Conven.
vention to meet or wait upon the Pres.
ident-elect as Knights of Labor.
: Last year exactly similar action was
taken at Minneapolis in regard to Presi.
dent Cleveland who was there at thai

not be able to live ON ten cents a day, or
even dollar day. He will be a house
holder and have family. One

stand for population of half

thousand houses to live in. They will
not be packed like sandwiches in q box,

IT IS suggested that in vi

1T IS suggested that in view Of the
probability that The new Charter will be
approved by the next Legislature, and
that municipal election will take place
under it about three or four months
hence, the Central Committees of the
Democratic and Republican parties ought
to get together and agree upon
a ticket that would be composed
entirely Of the present city
officials. The reason for this would be
that no one would wish to go to the ex.
pense and trouble of candidature and
election for an Office that would only last
about three months. On the other hand
il the Charter should be rejected by the
Legislature. the present officers, if re-.
elected, would hold for another two
years, and that possibility would cause
both parties to pause. 1t is nice prob.
lem as it is.

YESTERDAY the following mortgages
were recorded in this county: One oi
$4,000 for three years at ten per cent
per annum. The property on which the
loan was made is worth $l25 900. One
of sic. 900 for two years at twelve pei
cent. The property is worth ten times
as muck. One for $11 900 for three years
at ten per cent, on property worth
$4,000; and one of $12, 900 for two years
at ten per cent. on property worth three
or four times the amount. Los Angeles

such connivance. Who is conniving
now? Where is the "boodle" going ?

TOPEKA, Kans., November 15.-The
annual Convention of the National
Patrons of Husbandry met here yester-
day. Every State in the Union was rep
resented. The standing committees were
announced this morning. Acting Master
James Draper delivered the annual ad-
dress. He spoke of the flourisling condi-
ton of the Order and said that during the
past year 1913 subordinate oranges had
been organized, the greatest Increase be-
ing in North Carolina. Past experiences
showed the organization needed a more
perfect system in the supervision of its
legislative interests. He recommended
that some person with authority to act
for the Grange be stationed in Washing
ton during the sessions of Congress.
After criticising the action of the United
States Senate in rejecting the bill to en-.
large the powers and duties of the De-
partment of Agriculture, he turned his
attention to trusts, which he denounced
as injurious to the producer and con-
sumer alike to an extent unparalleled in
the worlds history.
On the tariff question he said: "The
declaration of the purposes of our order
demands protection for the weak. re-
etralnt upon the strong. Equitable
tariff legislation is an issue second to
none In this direction and to accomplish
anything We must use our undivided in
fiuence and organized power in demand
ing reduction of the highly protected
industries to correspond with the protec-
ton agriculture is receiving, or else an
increase OF protection to agriculture that
shall be equitable and just to all con-
cerned."
