As MAY be learned in the local columns
of the HERALD, the sales OF realty in this
city for the month closed yesterday, come
to over 100000. For the correspond
ing month last year the sum was S. ,000,-
600, and for 1887 it was $4,000, 900. The
sales in 1886 were about the same in
amount for the month just passed. We
used to think 1886 a good boom year,
until 1887 came and doubled it's record.
The business being done now is done
very quietly, and is for permanent i'm
provement. For the past five or six
months the sales have been running
about $3,000,O00 a month. Well, that
probably eclipses the business of any
other county in the Union still. 1t is
likely to increase in volume, rather than
to diminish.

SIR MoRELL MACKENZIE has had a
hard time of it ever since he undertook
to doctor the late Emperor Frederick.
How he ever managed to get out of Ger
many with his life is a mystery, consid-
ering what good carvers the German
physicians are, and how their medical
career is led up to by constant dueling
practice. From the day he first set his
foot in San Reno the Scotch surgeon
was subjected to system of most an
noying surveillance, and to incessant and
biting attacks in the German news
papers. 1t is a great wonder, consider
ing Bismarck's peremptory character,
that the Doctor was not thrown into a
dungeon, where he might have Ian
guished under some fanciful charge.
But when the Doctor at last got back to
England his troubles ought surely to
have been at an end. Not 30, however.
In an evil moment he decided to write a
book upon his illustrious patient.
This brought the whole crowd of Ger.
man diplomats and German physicians
down upon his head. Not only that, but
he was censured by both the English
College of Medicine and the English
College of Surgeons for SO far departing
from professional etiquette as to write a
treatise upon patient. In fury the
irascible Doctor resigned from both
faculties, and he is now said to be en-.
gagged in giving Prince Bismarck a
thorough lambasting through the
pages of a London magazine. In
one of his alleged articles he gently
insinuates that the Prince Chancellor
acted as if he thought Frederick's cancer
did not make rapid enough progress
Mackenzie has now struck line in which
lac can get his knife into the great Ger.
man, and the knife to the hilt. Bis
marck is as sensitive to newspaper
criticism as the veriest tyro in politics
He flies into an ungovernable fury when
his motives or career are arraigned and
Sir Morell has surely found the true
path to vengeance.

THERE seems to be a great deal OF
trouble in the ranks OF the Republican
party Of Los Angeles. According to the
popular understanding, the City Central
Committee is undertaking to run matters
with :. high hand, and is disposed TO
dictate the candidates. The gentlemen
on the outside, who claim to have the
interests of the party quite as fully at
heart as the holders of the citadel, think
that they ought to be consulted in the
delicate and responsible function OF nam
ing the standard. bearers. 1t is very
pretty fight as it stands, and will proba-
bly, have no little influence on the coming
election if it is not attended to in time.
We learn that, night before last, there was
secret meeting Of the City Central Com
mittee, and that everything was cut and
dried thereat, the programme including
the Hon. John Mansfield for Mayor.
Great is the agitation in consequence.

ElOQuet Finds backing.

PARIS, January 31.-Floquet, in the
Chamber to-day, held that the establish
ment of the scrutin d. reimbursement
system would, in no way. assail universal
suffrage. The government did not think
that measures ought to be taken against
the liberty of the press, but were bound
to legislate against those seeking to over
turn the Republic. The existing laws
dealing with hostile combinations we're
inadequate. The government would pro-
pose fresh measures for the repression of
attempts against the security of the State.
Universal suffrage had become the tool
OF all sorts of commercial combinations
through syndicates, operating through
paid bands of agitators.
Cassagnac reproached Floquet with at
tacking universal suffrage, and said it
was now the Right upon which fell the
duty of defending the suffrage against
the Government. Universal suffrage
commands; it must be obeyed.
Dissolution" had practically been
made the tast word. The situa-
tion for the Ministers could be
summed up in that phrase. He de-
manded that the government proceed
against Boulanger with acts, not words.
Floquet replied that it was necessary
to combat the idea OF dictatorship.
After prolonged and animated debate
Montaut presented motion: ''That the
House is confident in the firmness OF
the Government and passes to the order
of the day." The motion wes accepted
by the government and adopted by 300
to 200. Boulanger did not appear in the
chamber during the debate.

Mr.. F. II. BARCLAY, the other day,
brought to this Office a specimen of
orange wine which he had made in a
very primitive manner. In flavor it very
much resembled a Vermouth, although
it had the rich coloring and oily consist
ence of a cordial. Mr.. Barclay made
this article by peeling the oranges and
squeezing the juice into fermenting
tubs. He racked it off once, then bot
tied it and kept it in his cellar for three
years. There is no question OF the fact
that Mr.. Barclays labors have resulted
in a very fine product, and one that
would readily sell as frst-class cordial.
1t is quite up to and even beyond the
standard Of an ordinary Vermouth, judg-
ing from our partial trial of it. We
should be pleased to hear in the columns
of the HERALD from some one who is
familiar with orange wine. 1t is by no
means new thing, and has positive
value in Europe. The Barclay product
certainly has value.

The movement at Sacramento to purify
our electoral system does not seem to
be meeting with the success it's sauguine
supporters had hoped for. Political mil
leniums move even slower in California
than elsewhere. The attractive features
of the plan proposed are the payment of
the legitimate expenses Of the candidates,
and the ability to place nominees fairly
in the ield without the agency Of polit-
ical conventions. This is by no means
the first effort that has been made to rid
the people of machine or "boss" politics,
bat it does not Look as if it would prove
any more successful than its predeces-
sors. For twenty years David Dudley
Field has been calling the attention of
civilized mankind to his Code of Inter-
national Law, which has most excellent
reformatory features, but few are the
people whom he has ever persuaded even
TO read it. We are afraid that we shall
be obliged to get along under our elec-
toral methods for some years to come.

then three assertions are made by Ger
mans in Samoa. One is the right of
search OF American vessels going into
the harbors OF a nation with which we
are in treaty relations. The second is
the suppression of free speech, and the
other is assuming control of the police of
Apia municipality, which, by agreement
between Germany, England and the
United States and the Samoan King, was
made neutral ground.
Reagan, in view of the remarks made
by the Senator of Maine, Mr.. FRYE, who
is member of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, thought that it would be
perhaps best to let the amendment pass
as reported, and in view of the fact that
matters are very rapidly assuming such
a shape that the Senate will probably
have the question before us in another
form very soon, he withdrew his
amendment.
Hale expressed belief that German
interference in Samoa had been the di-
rect act of the German Government and in
pursuance of settled policy ON the
part Of that Government.

THE expose which the HERALD has
made of the disposition Of the county
road fund, together with our exhibit of
the tremendous sums of money thus
squandered, has made great impress
sion upon the taxpayer. But that inter-
esting and unlucky wight ought not to
rest content with indignation. He ought
to apply himself to seeing that hereafter
he gets some roads for his money. Citi-
xens residing in the country precincts
particularly-for they are the greatest suf-
ferers-ought to mem orialize both Houses
of the Legislature to change our whole
modus operandi of roadmaking and road
overseeing, Until We can get system
which will admit of some real and effec-
tive work being done, we might as we'll
hold on to our cash. One hundred
thousand dollars under the present sys-

be accomplished by the judicious and
intelligent use OF $4,000 under better.

given up, but it should be so limited as
to place property invested in irrigation
works beyond the power of confiscation,
which seems to be now practically
vested in the Boards of Supervisors.
The law should provide that the price
of water should be so fixed that the
owner of the irrigation works shall have,
after paying his expenses and taxes, at
least per cent. return upon his capital
invested. The law must contain some
limit to this power of regulation, or else
the great work of irrigation which is to
convert the now arid plains and deserts
of California into farms teeming with the

able the Commissioner of Agriculture
to continue his experiments in the de-.
veloping OF sorghum cane, is omitted
in the present bill. The regular appro-
priation of 100000 for the purchase and
distribution of seeds is made. A pro-
vision is inserted requiring the Com
missioner of Agriculture to supply these
seeds directly to several State agricul-
tural experimental stations for distribu-
ton by them. This provision will
deprive the Senators and Representatives
of their usual quota of seeds.
