Had Hogarth elected to do the work
Of Holbein, he would have succeeded.
And this brings us down to what
We really want to say. In one Of its
most fruitful branches art in our
time has fallen into most lamentable
decay. That branch is the histrionic.
There are to-day travelling through the
country half hundred theatrical
troupes with mslange Of "turns," or
perhaps some loosely constructed
melo-drama, which are devoid of all
thought, Of all art. Of all merit ofevery
sort. They are mostly attempts in the
line of caricatures. We had one Of
them here last week. And, by the
way, it drew full house
for six nights. But in spite
Of this popular endorsement,
its most enthusiastic defenders, if it
have any such, will scarcely have the
temerity to deny that fully three
quarters of the mflange consisted of a
mass of stuff utterly devoid of one
spark of talent or one particle OF
merit. A pretense to sing by fellow
who has not good note in his voice
is not art. A song which has neither
rhyme, reason, thought, poetry, tune,
nor vocal organ to render such at
tempts at music as are possible, is
not art. For a big fellow whose
proper sphere in life is following
a plow, or carrying a hod,
a fellow who is as de-
void of wit as mule,
as lacking in declamatory qualities OF
skill as crow, and as poorly equipped
with an organ OF song as he is def
cient in all other spheres artistic-fo1
such fellow to come out and pretend
to initiate a child six years old, or a
sixteen-year-old girl, or with separ.
ate bits OF old hay rope TO pretend tC
skip rope-that is not art, and the fel.
low who cheats an audience with such
poor pretenses should be hissed of
the stage, and relegated to dig
ging potatoes. The point is, thai
any dull thing with the mos
limited faculties of thought can pre-
tend to do anything. That is not ar
tistic caricature. Ii it is, the schoo
boy who attempts on slate to draw
his first ship is caricaturist, an artis
a genius. Newspaper people see mos
of the world. They see life in phases
which ordinary people do not come il
contact with. We can safely say that
in the experience of score of years il
all the poorest variety theaters of the
coast, we have never seen half a dozer
''turns" SO utterly inartistic, so devoit
of all merit, SO witless, miserable ant
contemplate, as were found in the
melange here referred to.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-01-25
c'tage of
expenses to


The figures are from the report Of
the Postmaster General for 1887. San
Francisco has her Office in Govern
ment building. The others are all i
rented quarters. The total cash re.
ceived for the year 1856 in the money
order department was $554,734.50.
The total paid out was $5S1, ,035.SS.
The aggregate of cash handled was
1,135, 1928. For 1887 the total cash
amounted to $l,s3s,04s.35. There
were forty orders a day more issued
in 1887 than in the previous year.
That exhibit tells emphatically the
tale of our postal distress, There is
no use in railing at any one. 1t
is one Of the uncomfortable
incidents of our growth. 1t
is not so pleasant an incident
to contemplate as is the increase in
our bank accounts. The wonder is
how Mr.. Preuss manages to keep his
head above water at all. The task is
herculean. The Postofiice Depart
ment is not to blame, for the Los An
geles Office must be run within the
limit of the appropriation. Until
Congress allows the department more
money We will be obliged to "grin
and bear it," if figure of speech not
quite Shakespearean may be permit
ted. But Senator Hearst's letter, fully
confirming the statements made in
the HERALD some days ago in an
interview with Mr.. Lynch immedi-
ately after his return from Washing
ton, holds out good reason to hope
our relief is at hand.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-01-25

only 425 were ever delivered, and
2, leo were sent to the Dead Letter OF.
flce 1t Washington. They were fortran-
sient inhabitants of the city who had
gone away before the letters arrived
here. Over 5000 persons day call
for mail at the general delivery win
dows. One clerk has waited on 275
callers in one hour. The mail which
goes through the general delivery
windows amounts to from 8 900 to 49,
600 letters and 20, 900 papers daily. In
other offices directory clerks are EN-
ployed to look over the letters, but in
this office two clerks are kept busy
writing up changes of addresses which
average from 300 to HOO daily. To
look over each letter and paper which
arrive here without box or street
number would require the services Of
twenty directory clerks, and at present
none are allowed. New York City
receives about 1900 letters daily for
the general delivery, and they
employ ten directory clerks for
the purpose Of delivering the
same if an order is on the books. San
Francisco has about 1000 letters daily
for the general delivery and employs
four directory clerks. This Office al
present has none and the only remedy
for this evil, and to give the transient
as we'll as the resident population Of
Los Angeles good service, is to have
all mail directed to street and mum
Der, box or in some friends care.
There are $50 pouches day sent from
and received at the office. By the
Santa Fe route alone there come in
so, 900 letters day. Over 100 sacks
Of papers day are received. The
mails are now five times as heavy as
at any time last year. The outgoins
Eastern mail has increased from 15,
600 to 10000 letters day. The fol
lowing comparison will show wha'
percentage of receipts is spent or
