Los Angeles ~ Kansas City Times.
This is the depreciating voice OF leal-
ousy. Kansas City is one OF the maryels
of the decade. So is Los Angeles. but
while Kansas City is a marvel OF growth,
it is also a marvel of dirt and phlllstin-
ism; whereas Los Angeles is one OF the
most beautiful spots in the world, ane
has within her borders more lnteliect
and refinement than Kansas City Will be
able to acquire in hundred years. Los
Angeles is all right. She isn't boom
ing" as much as she was, but anybody
who thinks she is not big town, ana
one that is bound at an early day to De
very much bigger, doesn't appreciate
her merits or perceive her destiny Ex'
aminer.
This is handsomely done by the Er-
aminer, and we are glad to see that there
is beginning to be a change OF policy IN
some of the Northern California papers
towards our city and section. The Sac
ramento Record Union, of few days
ago. published a correspondence from
Mr.. ], o. Coleman, leading business
man of that city, who had paid visit to
Los Angeles and was agreeably disap-
pointed at what he saw here. He had
been led to believe, from the adverse
criticism of the Bee and other narrow
gauge papers, that we were in the throes
of dissolution, and that all our claimed
attractions were but "leather and pru.
nella." He was astonished, however, to
find here large and busy city, marked
bv architectural improvements OF the
most costly character, and in the midst
of a country that he describes as per
feet paradise. No wonder that be
goes on to say that the papers
of his part of the State ought to bt
ashamed of themselves for the detractior
and abuse they have heaped upon Loi
Angeles. Whilst we recognize the com
pliment which Mr.. Coleman pays US, W.
must say that our section can better at
ford to put up with the envious abus'
and calumny of the northern paper
than they can afford to indulge in tina
kind of detraction. We know the ad
vantages OF our section, and are willin!
to let appreciation abroad come
naturally and inevitably. In the mean
time we are growing apace; our industries
are prospering, our realty values are be
coming permanently fixed, our produc
tions are increasing amazingly and on
prospects are constantly frightening. l
our up-country neighbors think it is
good policy to try to down us, they cal
keep at it. 1t is policy, however, tina
will do their own section greater harm
il the long run than it can possibly worl
against Southern California.

THERE are fe W airier or prettier depots
In the United States than the Wolfskill,
and the only thing to regret about it is
that it is not larger. When both Mr.. A.
N. Towne and Mr.. Coils P. Huntington
saw it, their first remark was that it was
not large en- ough, an instance of great
men thinking and talking alike, and an
instance in which they both talked very
sensibly. So great is the business of the
Southern Pacific in Los Angeles that the
Wolfskill will shortly have to be supple
mented in some way.s Perhaps the best
way of treating Southern California and
Los Angeles county would be to realize
the fact that both are growing at an un-
precedented rate, that this high pressure
will steadily increase, and that every
thing here, both as respects railways and
their appurtenances, should be arranged
on the broad gauge.

A MORNING paper reports Mr.. L. j..
Rose as saying that his "brood mares are
never given anything to eat," which is
an awkward way of saying that they are
grass-fed all the year round. 1t is a fact
that it costs far less to raise good stock in
California than in any other part of the
Union. The weather is so mild and
equable the year through that horses and
cattle can be kent in :le lie open here at a
season they have to be housed and pro-
vided with warm stalls in the Eastern
States. Mr.. Rose and our other raisers
of thoroughbreds have demonstrated the
wonderful adaptation of Southern Cali
fornia in climate and feed to the highest
development of their powers. Our
blooded younglipgs now bring the high
est prices in the East. Kentucky is
eclipsed already, and it will not be long
before the best breeders in the old States
will find it to their advantage to change
their base and come to Southern Califor-
MIA to pursue their business. Race-horse
raising is destined to be one of the most
profitable of the many very profitable
pursuits peculiar to our richly endowed
section.

The EvenipGEapre of Friday started
a story that burglar had entered the
room of Mrs. Longstreet, in the Hotel
Lincoln, and secured number of valu-
able diamond rings. The Times got the
story different, and said that the burglar
got away with nothing, although she had
about $4,000 worth OF diamonds among
her effects, which the thief failed to find.
The first story is untrue in that no dia-,
mond rings were stolen from Mrs. Long
streets room, and the second is wide of
the fact for the reason that Mrs. l.. does
not keep her diamonds in her room, but
has them safely deposited in her bankers
vault.

guDGE HAsKINs, whose hard expert.
eEoe in this city has filled go large
space in the current topics of the past
few days, takes his contretemps with q
good humor that must greatly lessen the
natural modification any gentleman
would feel at having been egregiously
duped. The Judge hardly knows how it
happened himself. He has been noted
in New York for nearly half q
century as one of the shrewdest
lawyers and most wide-awake men of
the world of that wide.awake metropolis.
In the course of his extensive practice
he has had occasion to become au courd1t
of all kinds of sharper games and tricks,
and, curiously enough, was familiar with
every detail of the bunco trap
into which the famous Charles
Francis Adams fell some years ago
in Boston. Had anybody told him
q month ago that he would have been
similarly duped himself, he would have
laughed in his face. Yet the event
proves that he was just as good stuff as
Adams for the bunco sharpers to work
upon. The fact is no man is proof
against the wiles of the men who make
it business to prey upon the weak
nesses of their fellows. knowledge and
experience form but a slight barrier
against the ingenious devices of the
sharpers who are eternally planning to
entrap the unwary. As the Judge says
himself, these men exhibited an address
and an intelligence which would ensure
them success in any legitimate pursuit.

MAN Proposing, God Disposing:

The news which reaches us OF the
terrible disaster which has happened to
the American and German fleets in Sa-
moan waters reads like divine judg-
ment. 1t was crime for two nations
like the United States and Germany,
united for SO many years by bond of
friendship, to go through the semblance
of hostility. From all accounts this
country has nothing to reproach itself
with in its relations to the Samoans, who
have an undoubted right to their own
little islands. But, under the invitation
begotten of consular squabbles at Apia,
We hurried the Trenton and Vandalia
there post haste to take hand in possi-
BILE hostilities. Here were two vessels
which had figured in all quarters of the
ocean world, hurrying post haste across
seas to be dashed post haste to
pieces on the rocks. There could
not well be a more striking COM
mentary upon the futility of
human purpose, even when backed by
the power of great nation. Germany
HAS buuoIoO Htlli mOI0 ulshbtfOuSiy NJ
the hands of the elements. The loss of
vessels and of life has been even greater
in her case than our own. Strangely
enough the Nipsic, which was repre-
sented as having been blown to pieces by
the German corvette Olga, seems to have
suffered less than any of the vessels in
the harbor fApia. Thepower of petard,
dynamite and torpedo is great, but the
power of the mighty forces of nature ex-
ceeds them, all combined, thousand
fold. Even the Prince of Blood and
Iron cannot fail to appreciate the satire
OF the tropic ocean on his plans for sub
jugating an innocent people marked out
for spoliation. The old Latin aphorisIn,
"make haste slowly" if it had been
adopted by the government of the
United States, would have left US in the
possession of two brave warships, the
Trenton and Vandalia.

The Board of Police Commissioners
have made up their slate as to the new
police force, and it remains to be seen
what the new Council will do about it.
That body will doubtless reach a con-
clusion on the matter Monday. The
Board think with the HERALD that at
least one hundred men are needed to
preserve order in the city. The Council
men, on the other hand, have arranged
for a considerable reduction. Emil
Harris has been designated as Captain
of the force. He is experienced and
competent. Very radical changes have
been made in the personnel of the
finest" some of them wise and some
otherwise. The Council has shown a
strong prediction in favor of economy.
There is decided public curiosity as to
how long this virtuous mood will last.

By latest advices from Washington, ii
is learned that the new Federal Build
ing will be pushed with the utmost ex-
pedition, and it is to be completed by
November 9th. 1t is somewhat unfortu-
nate that this edifce is being started on
grossly inadequate basis. When the
postofice portion of it is completed it
will really afford less and fewer conven-
fences than the present temporary edi-
fee. There is great deal of fussy, un-
necessary economy and red-tape in the
operations of the Government, and this
is a conspicuous instance of it. Los An
geles is growing more rapidly in ratio
than any other city of equal size in the
United States, and already what ought to
be provision for the future is seento be
for the needs of the present.

to question the right of the HERALD to

we would ask what right the Tribune has

about 8 years unemployed. He was ap-
pointed from New York in 1854, and be-
came a midshipman in 1850. He was
made lieutenant at the outbreak Of the
rebellion and in 1865 became lieutenant

now THE ENGLISH VESSEL ESCAPED.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-It is the
opinion of Admiral Harmony, who is
familiar with the Samoan Islands, that
the English man-of-war owed her escape
to the fact that she had steam up and
was enabled to push out to sea. The
number of vessels lying in the small
harbor was a source of danger to them
individually, for if one dragged her an
chors she would probably collide with
and carry Away another ship which
might otherwise be held securely.

HappY Marriages.

Why ia it that the world hears 81
much about unhappy marriages and SO
little about happy ones? Is it not merely
from tue fact that the untoward things
of life are generally brought into dis
agreeable prominence? Whenever
troubles arise aud sorr0ws and perplex-
tiles invade. men count the passing
moments as Robinson Crus0e counted
the tagging days Of exile by notches on
his stick. Of such the daily press has
no list; dill the newspapers In the land
could not contain even their initials.
But whenever occur losses, accidents
and crimes forthwith they are trumpeted
all over the land. And so it is with IN
haply marriages. Divorces, separation
and desertion are noised abroad through
morbid and greedy curiosity, while
the tens of happy marital relations 60
unheralded. And the superficial OBJ
server, noting the first aud not the last,
is apt to spend his breath in declaiming
against the prevalence of domestic in
felicity.
Do these croakers and cynics demand
q perfect tie between two imperfect be-
ings? A little reflection. while it shows
the absurdity of such expectation also
shows that there is more sunshine than
storm, more light than darkness and
more good than evil. The marriage tie
takes care of itself, spite of those
iconoclasts who forget there is no place
in the universe where duty and attrac-
ton do not sometimes clash.
