THE Sewer Commission yesterday was
busy with the Doctors as to the effects of
the use of sewage as fertilizer. The
medicos varied greatly in their opinions,
and as summary it may be assumed
that they are as much averse to bad
smell in their immediate neighborhood
as any other class of our people, the
only difference being that they can talk
more learnedly about it. The fact is
that the proper deodorizing of the sewage
makes all the odds in the world. If the
almost illimitable excrementitious matter
of London and Paris can be disposed OF
as fertilizer, that of Los Angeles can
certainly be handled with ease. How
ever. there is a thorough disposition to
have all the light on the matter that can
be obtained,

The HERALD has received an advanc,

THE HERALD has received an advance
copy of a "History of Los Angeles
County," just from the press of the
Lewis Publishing Company Of Chicago.
1t is a handsome quarto volume of 800
and odd pages, morocco bound, with gilt
edges, and is illustrated by steel plate
portraits of more than fifty prominent
citizens, which are certainly very faithful
likenesses, skillfully and artistically exc
cuted. These portraits add greatly to
the interest of the work. There are a
large number of brief biographical
ketches. Both the sketches and por-
traits of the old pioneers particularly are
specially interesting.
From hasty glance We must say that
the work appears to be creditable alike
to the publishers, to our county and to
our community.

WITH brilliant horse races-that is
brilliant for Los Angeles, whose horses

principal Eastern courses and seldom
appear on their own tracks-and a
Chrysanthemum Fair-we ought to be
able to record lively times in Los An
geles, but just now they are not phe-
nomenally 80. With little new blood
here and there in the Sixth District
Agricultural Association we should ar
range things more happily hereafter !;
and above all things we ought to avoid
chopping up our show into fractions,
thus allowing its life blood to run away.

Being a Genius.

Jesus suffered from his enemies, but
his friends also made him suffer Contra
diction is not worse to bear than mis-
construction. His disciples thought that
he was trying to do something that had
not even occurred to him. For the most
part he walked alone. The disciples
could not watch him one hour. I lament
that l am not a genius-but take
sober second thought. Oae has to paw
for being genius. There must be a
lonesomeness about it. There are 8

DAvITT,S DEFENSE,
He Disclaims connection With As.
sassinatiOn Societies,

sasstnatfOn Societies.
LONDON, October 29.-Michael Davitt
resumed his address before the Parnell
Commission today. He referred to the
action OF the Chicago convention as dis
proving the assertion that the Clan-na-
Gael is actively allied with the
League. The author of the articles
on "Parnellism and Crime" printed
in the London Times, he said,
wilfully invented and garbled quotations
from American papers. He admitted
that the expressions Of some of the
speakers at Chicago were bitter against
England, but the convention was held
during period when the League was
under the ban of suppression, when a
number of prominent members of the
Parnell party were in prison, and when
force had crushed out the constitutional
movement. Hence the speakers we're
laboring under great excitement. The
"Parnellism and Crime" liar distorted
everything relating to the movements of
the Irish in America.
He iustanced as a baseless lie the
statement that he met chiefs of the
American Association party while in the
United States, and concerted with them
to form an Irish federation and that Par
nell assisted in this scheme. He (Davitt)
had often repudiated the policy of re-
venge. advocated by extremists in
America.
Davitt also said that many erroneous
reports were current regarding the Clan
na-Gael, which organization was not an
assassination society, nor sny more a
secret society than was the order Of Free
Magons in Great Britain.

Puritanic NeWportsrs Stir Him VI
ON the Southern Question.

NEWPORT, R. L., October 20 The Oh.
server tomorrow will print letter which
has been sent to President Harrison by a
committee appointed at a recent non.
partisan meeting of citizens, which, as
the letter says, was called to protest
against the wholesale and unrestrained
numbering of American citizens now
going on in some States OF the
South, to protest against the deprival
by these States OF life, liberty
and property without due process Of law.
The committee reports the meeting to
the President, and asks him to use the
utmost moral influence of his exalted
position to have stop put to the viola
ton of the law referred to, beseeches
him to use all the force which belongs to
his high Office to put stop 10 the same,
and make this violation of the law the
subject Of his condemnation in his COM
ing message to Congress. The commit.
tee adds that there is nothing in the
character of our Government or laws
that precludes the Federal division
Thereof from maintaining by force and
field the dignity Of the supreme law Of
the land.

The French vs.. the En- lish Carriage

The number of important turnouts
constantly to be seen in the park sug-
gests that we are getting our fashions in
carriages rs much from France as from
England. This is particularly the case
with the more snowy vehicles. The
French two-wheeled carts, with gaudy
panneling, spider wheels and gracefully
curved bodies are taking the places of
the big, massive, square and heavy
wheeled English dog carts, and the
French victorias with the big swan-look-
ing sweep of body, are also more in de-
msnd than the heavy, numbering style of
Great Britain. There is good deal of
solidity and substance about the
English carriages, but in the pres-
emit execrable condition of the
streets weight counts heavily on the
horses. One reason for the popularity
of the French carts is that they are
nearly all swung on complex springs, 80
that there 10 none of the horse motion so
observable in the English carts. Per-
haps the notable importation of all ID the
curricle. 1t was introduced here origin
ally by that interchangeable leader OF the
german, Mr.. LIE Grande Cannon. It has
only two wheels, but unlike any other
of the two wheeled carts, i5 drives two
horses abreast. The body Of the curricle
is more or less like the Lohengrin swan
boat, and there is littls psrch behind
for a small boy in corduroys. The
horses to drive to tho curricle should, it
is believed, be chubby and spirited
cobs.-[N. Y. Sun.

1T is great question as to whether the
Congress of All The Americas, the way
it is being run, will not turn out to be
more farce than a force. There is a
clamorous demand for cathartics all
along the line, and anything that will
produce peristaltic action Of the bowels
is valued beyond pearls by the poor
South Americans. 1t remains to be seen
whether all this junketing will make the
people Of the Spanish American
countries pay two prices for their
cotton prints. AS we have suggested
in previous issues of the HERALD, the
Conference may have favorable effect
on the Nicaragua canal, but that is about
as much as can be hoped for from trade
conditions dependent on the American
tariff. There is one feature of trade in
South and Central America that is not
very well understood in the United States,
and hat is that a Spanish American
of the lower classes can very
rarely read the English language.
The inhabitant of Ecuador or Brazil
or Paraguay or Uruguay has been in the
habit of buying certain colored cans con-
tanning condensed milk, butter, concen-
trated extract of meat, or what not, and
he is quite apt to keep on buying the
things he has bought from French, Ger
mans and Englishmen for the past fifty
years. So of calicoes and cloths. The
gentlemen who are now undergoing all
the horrors of indigestion are not mer-
chants. They are scholars, publicis's
and diplomats. There will be very few
fortunes made in America from the
clamor OF these South Americans for
goods made in the United States.

Poker Playing.

In nearly all of the west eide poke
games two decks of cards are used, that
is, while one deck is being played with ,
another is being shuffied by the man
who last dealt. He then passes the deck

who cuts them and gives them to the
next dealer, and 90 on every
deal. Different colored cards are

greatest gamer, and far more chips are
contributed to the kitty with two decks

OF cards is more fatiguing than four With

Mr.. Henri Cernuschi to write an article
on the single standard, of which Mr..
Cernuschi acquitted himself quite
brilliantly. Mr.. Stewards reply, how

gobble the 10000 francs prize by pro-
ducing brilliant bi-metallic article.

Let us suppose him to keep an account

Of the month he settles this account
with himself, and sees on paper just

and keeps an account Of the month IN
