Southern California has been
having a tremendous land boom
but many people are of the opn-
ion that real estate speculation
in that quarter is absurdly artificial and
overdone, and must soon experience a col.
lapse. Corner lots are sold and resold
without streets and city lots without
cities. The real estate record at Los An
geles shows.that most of the land about
that city has been sold fourteen times
within year and each time at a large adj
vance. There is no growth of population
sufficient TO sustain such a rapid enhance
ment of prices and one of these days the
bubble will burst and prices decline until
values reach a normal level.
We are not disposed to doubt the "glor-
ious climate" of California, or the beauty
OF the scenery.or deny the fact that much
legitimate and successful business is car
ried on there. But the cost of living is
much greater there than in any other sec
ton of the country, and there are other
things to be taken into account. New

u was notlceable fact that Vermont

DOMAIN. ''
We suppose that an invitation was ad-
dressed to Senator Edmunds but for
some reason he failed to receive it, Mr..
Noble said to the editor of this paper, at
the Montpelier convention, that he had no
doubt that the absence Of response from
the senator was due to some accident.
Since then we have seen a letter from Mr.
EGmunds, in which he said
AS to The absence of any letter from me
at Montpelier | can only say that. so lar
as my personal recollection goes, did not
receive any invitation either to attend or
write, Certainly my personal good will
toward Mr.. Noble, to say nothing of nv
somewhat intense republicanism, would
nave led me to answer his letter if | had
received it, as do everu letter of thar
kind. 1t is possible that, in the mass of
my letters, coming three times IA day, IA
letter from Mr.. Noble may have got into
an answered" file instead o file
awaiting answer by accident but since
! received yours | have been unable to
make any search.
No one who knows Mr.. Noble will he
lleYe that he Intentionally omitted SEN
ator Edmunds from an invitation extend
ed TO all the rest of the Vermont delega-
ton IN Congress and no one acquainted
with Mr. Edmunds's habitual and scru-
pulous care to answer all letters address
ed to him, can doubt that the invitation
would have been ACKNOWLEDGED if it had
reached him. The failure of the invitation
which involved the failure of re-
spouse, was purely accidental.

Perhaps the time has hardly come, in
this country, for penny postage. The eX
penditures of the post Office department
last year were $35O0,OOO more than the
receipts. A reduction of letter postage
by one half might result in a burdensome
deficiency, unless the number of letters
mailed should be doubled. Complaints
of inefficient mail service come from every
quarter, and with a large increase of mat
ter to handle, they would be still more
numerous. OF course penny postage is
coming; but ought not the efficiency of
he service to he materially increased be
fore it is naugurated.
