EVERY day adds to the conclusiveness
of the demonstration that the Vedolia
Cardinals, the Australian lady-bug. is
playing havoc with the white scale, and
fortunately this insect belongs to the
family of Anthropophsgi, and failing
other sustenancs, preys upon itself. The
remaining members of the family of the
white scale may therefore propose to
themselves short life and a merry one,
as their days are mum bered. Our orange
interests are, as result, looking up
grandly all along the line. Dean Swift
pointed out the fact that great feas have
lesser feas upon their legs to bite 'em,"
and the profound aphorism of the natur-
alist that for every evil nature has pro-
vided a remedy is exemplified for the
thousandth time.

Of London under her present system we're
made sick, together with members OF the
crew, from an afternoon inspection OF
the sewerage of the Thames. The results
at st. Petersburg, Dantzig, Naples, Cadiz,
Torquay and Brighton represent but few
of the universal failures to satisfactorily
dispose of sewage in tide water. Cadiz,
discharging sewage into the bay where
enormous tides cause rapid currents, is
known as an especially unhealthy port
from this cause. So thoroughly con-
vincei is the German Government OF the
impossibility of discharging sewage into
water without offence to the neighborhood
that general law interdicts the establish
ment of any system with this object
1t is not strange, in view of these facts,
that the people of Santa Monica and
Redondo Beach are kicking like bay
steers against the proposition to dump
the sewage of Los Angeles into their
charming waters. The attempt to do 80
will undoubtedly be followed by injunc-
ton suits which, should the bonds be
voted, will tie up the money resulting
from their sale for years.

THE SNUG and self-satisfying way in
which the advocates of the Ballona Out
fall Sewer assert that our watering places
will not be injured by the discharge into
the ocean of the excrementious matter OF
Los Angeles, is highly amusing. Relia-
able testimony from abroad does not
harmonic with this view of the matter.

on the subject Of seaboard sewage-dis-
poeal: We may recognize at the outset
that this mighty stream of filth is certain

example where other results have OBJ

Boston's intercepting system, the Com
miseioners were able to point to single
system where discharge into tide water
was thought to be satisfactory, referring
to the London system, but the lapse Of
time has demonstrated this sys-
tenn to be an gigantic failure, sc
far as furnishing relief from the
effects of the maritime Thames. Three

FRENCH NATIONALITY.
PeculiarIttes of the Republics New
Naturalization Law.

WASHINGTON, August ga communi
cation has been received at the Depart
ment of State from Minister Reid, en-
closing copy OF the new law on French
nationality. Under the provisions of
this act the con of naturalized French
American, who happens to be born in
France, is French. The son of o
Frenchman born in the United
States is French, and as the
law is silent as to any limitation
in this respect, there may be according
to this doctrine many generations of
Frepchmen born in the United States.
Naturalization abroad of a Frenchman,
who has not complied with the military
laws, is void unless he has beforehand
secured the authorization of the govern
ment. Fative Americans of French par.
entage are not therefore Americans, and
in the eye of the new statute are liable to
military service in France. With
reference to the right of being dom
iciled in France the new law states that all
permissions given heretofore to that
effect will expire in five years from the
date of the present law, and will not be
in favor OF those who, within
that period, have not applied for natural
ization. This stipulation affects seri-
ously all Americans doing business of
any kind in France.

FRANK PIxLEY, who occasionally says
a good thing, devotes half column, in
his last Argonata, to getting even with
Ambrose Bierce, whose son wound up in
such triple tragedy. He points out the
fact that Bierce was literary Ishmael-
ite, whose hand was against erybody,
and who very naturally now fails to re-
ceive the need of sympathy which
would ordinarily be extended to be.
reaved man under such notably melan-
choly circumstances. This is harsh way
of looking at the matter, but lit represents
about the average public sentiment.
Since Dean Swift there has scarcely been
bitterer or cleverer lampooner, both in
prose and verse, than this erratic but
gifted man. His pen has always been
dipped in gall, and yet he is
said to be amiable in the personal
relations Of life. Frank himself
would do we'll to take the lesson to
heart. In many respects he has been a
very useful citizen, and few men can be
more amiable in the social relations of
life. Yet if he should ascend towards
the empyrean some fine sunshiny day,
as the result of big blast of dynamite,
what member of all the numerous hosts
of the Pope's Irish would drop a tear or
breath sigh of regret. Go slow, oh,
Pixley and pluck the beam out of thine
own eye before troubling thy self over the
mote in the eye of thy neighbor.

views in that particular are not adopted
by this Department. The act of 1866
was, you say, compromise measure in
which the United States, for the time
being, waived its inherent rights to the
performance of telegraphic service in
conjunction with the postofice.
"The first telegraph line in this country
was built with Government aid, aud that
the Government did not continue to exer-
else it's undoubted prerogatives by ex-
tending and operating the telegraph as
a more speedy means of communication
than the post, as is we'll known, was
purely an accident.
''In conclusion, beg to remind you
that in my letter of July 18th, consented
to your request for a conference on the
subject before any official order fixing
the rate was to be issued. l am yet
quite willing to entertain any reasonable
proposition based upon known facts"

IMPORTED Professors.
Are They Amenable to the Com
tract Labor Law?

BALTIMORE, August 5.-It is stated
that, Notwithstanding the recent decision
of Solicitor Hepburn, adverse to the i'm
portation of five foreign professors en-
gagged for the Catholic University at
Washington, the professors will come to
this country and assume their duties.
Attorney General Miller declined to take
up a hypothetical case, and said he
would give no opinion until the question
arose by the arrival of the educators. 1t
is now stated by gentleman OF high
governmental position that the professors
will be permitted to land without ques-
ton, but if objections are raised, a decis.
ion will be made according with the
constitution of the law excluding foreign
laborers under contract, and that the
law was never meant to apply to the
class represented by the professors in
question.

The Boston Goes TO Dry Dock.

NEWPORT, R. l., August 5.-The cruiser
Boston sailed this morning for New York
to 60 on dry dock. She is not injured
badly enough to need assistance, as she
went out alone.
New YORK, August 5.-The United
States cruiser Boston reached the Brook
lyn navy yard this evening, after an un-
eventful run from Newport. The officers
and men were extremely reticent con-
cerning the accident. The Boston will
go into the dry dock at once for repairs
On her arrival some excitement was
caused by collision with the monitor
Puritan and the receiving ship Vermont.
No one was hurt, and the damage was
slight.

The assertion that the Sugar Trust has
made 100000 during the past two
months by the deft manipulation of that
staple necessary of life would seem to
give the lie to Andrew Carnegie's spe-
cious theory that we are in no danger
from trusts and combines. 1t would
seem very much as if the people of the
United States are indulging in the
sleep into which Gulliver fell when he
arrived amongst the Lilliputians. He
found himself, on awakening, bound to
the earth by thousand little gossamer
strings, and their combined strength
made him powerless. 1t would really
look as if little of the paternal govern
ment which exists in Germany, and
which protects the people, might be
preferable to the unbounded liberty Of
corporations, combines and trusts to rob,
which exists in these United States.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-08-06

THERE is one important point in the
sewer matter, in regard to which many
of the people are in error, and upon
which they should be informed, and
that is the quantity of sewage. 1t is
thought by many that the quantity is
immense; sufficient to irrigate many
thousands of acres. The fact is, as any
one may ascertain, that the quantity is
comparatively small; smaller, perhaps,
than in any city of the same size, that
has a system of sewage, in the world.
The City Water Company furnishes
about 400 inches, the Citizens Company
about 120 inches, and from other sources
about % inches, making about $50 inches
to the whole city. OF this how much
passes through, or will pass through
the sewer? Not possibly over one-half,
and in summer not that much. When it
is remembered what a large quantity
is used in irrigating lawns, ETC.; that
the stock of the whole city drinks OF
this, and that thousands OF gallons are
consumed in many other ways, it will be
readily seen that at best not half of this
water ever reaches the sewers. Now, oi
this 275 inches, the South Side Company
has, and will have for several years, l5O
inches, leaving 125 inches to dispose of.
How much will this irrigate? Theorists
will tell you, 1880 acres, allowing one
inch to ten acres, while experience will
tell you, not over 600 or 700 acres, or five
acres to the inch. These are facts, and
will prove so when the experiment is
tried. This quantity will probably be
doubled in the course of five years.
Thus you see that even the chance for
revenue to the city is not very large,
and the outside rancher will never get
enough, if he gets all tie sewage, TO make
him want to run it to the sea, excepting
in extremely wet weather.

An AbOrtive Effort


article in it's issue of yesterday concern
ing the HERALD's attitude on the sewer
bonds. It affects to discover some ipcon-
sistencies in our utterances on this great
public question, and it makes speclous
show of having done 80 by garbling
them in the most unconscionable man
ner. We have not pretended to have
had one opinion from the beginning OF
this discussion. In fact, if the Council
had acted from the start as if it believed
in its own official existence, had left to
others the arraignment of its title, and
had initiated measures looking to the
creation of a sewer system, we are in
clined to think that, with the information
we then possessed, We should have
favored the measure. The idea OF
bridging over what was generally felt
would be q bad summer, by giving
employment to the workingman, was
very fascinating to US. AS the case
stands now, the Summer is substantially
over, and the election to determine
whether the bonds shall be issued or not
will be determined on nearly the last day
of the last Of the Summer months. Even
if the bonds should not mis-
carry it would be a long while
before the preliminary work would
be got through with. During this
tedious interval, during which the Coun-
Gil doubted its own functions, and in
which it dilly. dallyed with the question,
thousands of people looked into the mat
ter dispassionately. During that period
judgments averse to intrusting the pres
ent Council with the expenditure of such
a large sum as $1,280,000 have been
formed on all hands, and at the same
time the essential defects of the Councils
plan have been made so plain that
the wayfaring man, though fool, can see
them. With its usual sense of fair play,
the HERALD has given both sides OF the
question, and it has always conceded the
right of every citizen to his opinions. This
perfectly impartial attitude has been in
terpreted by our feeble.forcible and
always prolix contemporary as incon-
sistent. On the contrary, this journal
has really only represented the varying
phases of the average citizen on a propo-
sition that originally presented some
attractive features on the surface, but
whose essential defects a prolonged ex-
animation have disclosed. If the Council
had made a proper publication OF the
ordinance at the start, it is very doubtful
indeed if this elaborate examination,
which will in all likelihood defeat the
bonds, would ever have been made.
While opposing the sewer bonds, the
HERALD has scrupulously refrained from
impugnipg the motives of the Coun-
Gil. The Tribune has done great SER
vice to its readers by quoting 30 copiously
from our columns. To the extent to
which it has reproduced matter from the
HERALD it has assured to its readers an
unwonted literary treat, for which doubt
less, they are duly grateful.
