A new style of postal card comes in with 1889. The new ones differ from the old ones in that they furnish privacy to the correspondence con tained upon them. They are very much like a double card of the present pattern. The back fold is slit diagon- ally and opens square off. The four corners are folded and joined together in the center with piece of gummed paper when the card has been written upon. The card weighs less than half an ounce, and will contain the same amount of writing as those now in use.

BROKEN PROMISES.

These promises have been honored more in the breach than in the obser- vance. The history of our own early settlement is red with the blood of the pioneers who blazed the trails of civi- liZation in those remote lands by the lurid light of their burning homes, which went down in ashes before the merciless savage. Millions of dollars of unpaid claims, mildewed by age, growing out of these atrocities, are piled up in the department, while the heroes of those troublous times, over come with the weight of years and no longer able to conquer their feelings, have gone to join the silent majority, leaving destitute widows and orphans to keep alive before Congress the mem ory of their trials and tribulations. Verify, the cruelty of Congress cuts as keenly as the scalping knife. It has suffered to be fastened upon us the odi~us system of carpet-bag rule and | domination. The Administration of President Garfield and the present Ad- ministration were alike bound by party platform to relieve us from the obnox- ious system, but both have failed. We know our capacity for local self-gov- ernment. We remember that send ing hither a swarm of officials, etc.. was one of the causes which led to our Declaration of Independence. From that day to this carpet-baggers have always been odious, and their presence amongst us is, and ever will be, as poisonous and destructive of good Government as the insidious growth oi communism"

"Iake off the handicap MT. Toole shouted, throwing his right arm toward the galleries, 'start us un. der as favorable circumstances as othel States at the time of their admission and if the race is not always to the swift we will promise not to be last at the finish"
 He then incidenced the case of Ire land, and made an eloquent appea for home rule. He told of the trials and sufferings of the first settlers il Montana, and begged the House tc listen to the voice of justice and con sanguinity.
 "Imake this appeal" he sai l, 'tt gratify no personal ambition. I an commissioned to do so in the name o Montana, a Territory whose valleys o gold and mountains of silver hav never ceased to swell the volume o precious metals for a quarter of cen tury."

Some of these hot house specimens who were too fraI to stand transplanting in Northern cline soon gave up their commissions and returned to the genial influences Of their own civilization. Others hold ing religiously to the doctrine that Federal officer should neither die nor resign staid with us, became acclima- ted, and promise in years to come to develop into good and useful citizens. But under Democratic supremacy we find that quite an innovation has been made upon what was supposed to be inf1exible fact. Instead of the wise men coming from the East, we now learn that they came from the South Kentucky furnished us a Governor i; Tennessee Chief Justice; Louisiana an Associate Justice and Surveyor General; Texas an Associate Justice, and Mississippi, Maryland and Ten nessee each an Indian Agent. Be it far from me to reflect upon the in tegrity of any gentleman sent to us by this Administration, or by implication reflect upon the section whence he came. These considerations do not disturb nor annoy us. The insolence of office consequent upon those alien appointments, and the lack of con fidence thereby manifested in us con stitute the gravament of the affront. Time, instead of healing, simply in tensiies it. Nearly every day added to the score of time brings some new appointment from abroad thus adding insult to injury. Ages of forgiveness cannot condone it, and statehood alone can prevent it's recurrence.

Mr.. Shorb has some very fine blooded
stock on his Monte ranch, and yesterday
morning young thoroughbred bull, dis
gusted because his liberty was to a GER

ter down the fence which prevented him
from taking walk along the railroad

went through joyously, forgetting all
about rope that was trailing from his
head and which, becoming entangled in
the broken timbers, brought him to a
sudden halt. Mr.. Bovine became very
wroth at this, and proceeded to tear up
the country with his feet, and number
of section men who were working near by,
and who had been ordered by their boss to
drive the animal from the rails, felt
rather timid about approaching him.
One of them finally made the attempt,
however, but pair of horns came at
him in such dangerous manner that he
beat hasty retreat. To make matters
worse, along came a train, and as it

CLUBS AND BRICKBATS.
An Exciting Encounter Between
Two Hotel Servants.

There are very few cld-timers who do
not know, by sight, Harvey Hall, the
colossal colored porter-in-chief of the
Hollenbeck Hotel. The massive 20-carat
white stone diamond that glitters like
an electric light in his shirt bosom would
alone make him a marked man, and
when, in addition to this, the importance
Of his duties are remembered, it is not to
be wondered that he is notorious.
The cares OF the day were over and
Harvey sat at the writing-table in the
lobby, with his head and shou ders bent
over sheet of paper, on which he was
slowly scratching. Jimmy Farrell, one
OF the bell-boys, who is irreverently
called "Shorty," crept up behind Harvey
and looked over his shoulder. Lo! and
behold, the man of diamonds was writ.
ing in red ink, and as this, in the land of
the colored folk, is understood to be
synonymous with blood, it was evident
that Harvey was fixing up an ominous
document for some one. Shorty remem-
bered that his confrere had had some
trouble about a young lady who had al
lowed rival to step in and darken the
sunlight of his love, and at once con-
cluded that the warning missive was be-
ing addressed to her. The first intima-
ton that the scribe had that he was
watched was haunting laugh from
Shorty, who followed it up by jeering
allusion to the red ink.
Harvey's blood got to boiling point at
once, and without any ado he jumped
upon the destroyer of his peace and pro.
ceeded to lay him out. Shorty saw that
he was in for it, and made a desperate
resistance, but in the clnch that followed

following in not pursuit. The big man
covered more ground, and succeeded in
reaching the Burdick building, where
he entrenched himself behind pile oil
rocks, and, with brick in each hand
dared the bat-swinger to approach. A
war of words then took place, neither
caring to open the ball again, and, in
the midst of the discussion, policeman
appeared on the scene and temporarily
suspended hostilities.
This all happened on Thursday night

AN UNPAID JUDGMENT.
Suit Against the Vail Estate Ad

Suit Against the Vail Estate Adj
ministratOr.
James Boyd Weir commenced suit in
the Superior Court, yesterday, against
James Foord, administrator of the es-
tate of N. r. Vail, who died on March
5, 1888. Plaintiff alleges that, on the
Oath of May, 1886, he obtained judg'
ment in the United States Circuit Court
against N. r. Vail, for $123,643. This
suit was based on decision re ndered in
the Supreme Court of the State OF Nsw
York. Plaintiff alleges that, on the 9th
of August, 1886, N. r. Vail desired to
compromise, and said that he was unable
to pay the judgment, an :. that he bad no
property, but his friends and relatives
would raise $4,000. If plaintiff would
accept this amount he would compro-
mise. Plaintiff alleges that he resided
in New York, and. 90 far as he could
ascertain, Vail owned no property, and he
accepted the compromise. After Vail died
an inventory of his estate was filed in
court valuing his property at 81 ,433. 6S.
Plaintiff now alleges that Vail at the
time of the compromise was the owner
of real estate in Los Angeles standing in
the name of Anna R. Vale, and some in
the name OF Chas. Silent, by whom ii
was held in secret trust. Plaintiff alleges
that deceased was the owner of 500
shares of the stock OF the Santa Anita
Land and Cattle Company, of Lyon,
Nevada, valued at 1000; of 225 shares
of stock of the Redondo Land Company,
valued at $12 900; of $50 shares Of stock
of the Monrovia Land and Water Com
pany, valued at $500; of 1000 shares
of the Centinela Inglewood Company
of 5000 shares of the Redondo Beach
Company; of third interest in certain
unissued shares of stock of the
corporation held by deceased, Chas.
Silent and Dan Mcfarland of third
interest in promissory notes valued at
SAC, 0C0, of other stock valued at $780,
600; that w. R. Vail was indebted to
him in the sum of SIS, 900 and E. p.
Ford in the sum of So 900, and that there
was other property of which he was the
owner. Plaintiff alleges that deceased,
with fraudulent intent concealed from
him the fact that he owned this prop
erty and induced him to settle for q
smaller amount than the judgment,
wherefore he alleges that he was dam
aged in the sum of $77, 901. 81, for which
sum he prays.

THE SCHOOL BONDS.
Mayor Hazard signs the Or df-
nance.


It looks as if the first bonds to be
voted on in this city will be the school
bonds. On Monday last the City Coun-
Gil passed an ordinance declaring the
necessity for the issuance of bonds for
the purpose of building new school
houses to the amount of 5000, 900. This
ordinance was signed by the Mayor yes
terday and will be published for twenty
days before the ordinance calling an
election is passed. The Board of Educa-
ton has been hard at work in preparing
for the improvements which should be
made in the schools Immediately, and it
is intended that the work shall be done
before the schools open on the let Of
September. The city has long needed
more school accommodation and every
parent, it is believed, will be only too
ready to vote in favor of the bonds and
thus enable their children to attend
school all day, instead of only one-half
of the time. The School Board has care
fully looked over the ground and, with
some few changes, the list of additions
lately published will be those included
in the ordinance.

The railroad is the highway of the

meat and potatoes disappeared as if by
