gMr. Cleveland has had his day
and it will not be possible for him to
receive the Democratic nomination in

work. For apparent reasons Mr..
Cleveland can not again be chosen to

Does De Witt c. Cregier, Mayor of
Chicago, take care that the laws against
gambling are enforced?
He does not.
On the contrary he allows the dam
nable GAMBLERS TRUST to run its rob-
bling houses wide open and in defiance
of all law. The poor are robbed that
rich blacklegs may thrive, and Mayor
Cregier and his police sit idly by and
do not interfere.
Is there no remedy?
There is-in the impeachment of the
Mayor.

passed to meet this very case.
Here it is;
SECTION u. In case the Mayor or
any other municipal Officer shall at any
time be guilty of palpable omission
of duty he shall be liable to
Indictment ia any court of competent
jurisdiction, and, on conviction, shall
be fined in sum not exceeding 1000;

shall be had shall enter an order re-

omission of duty.

Funeral of the Late John w.

Funeral of the Late John w.
BFoaded.
Tho funeral of the late John w.
Broaded took place from his home at
Ell Monte yesterday. Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather the fun.
eral was very we'll attended and was I'M
doubtedly the largest ever held in Ell
Monte. Fully 300 conveyances were in
the funeral cortege and this number
would undoubtedly have been tripled had
not the rain interfered. The deceased was
buried under Masonic auspices, assisted
by the order of the A. o. U. W., of which
the dsceased was an active member.
Long before the hour set the home of
the deceased was thronged with many
friends of the family. The floral tributes
we've numerous and indicated the esteem
in which "Honest John" WAS held by
his many staunch friends. The A. o.
U. W., of which j. d. Lewis is Master,
sent an elegant floral tribute. The
Masonic order Of Ell Monte, of which G.
NJ. Bell is the Master, also
placed pillow of forget-me-nots on
the casket of their departed companion.
Robert e. McGregor, u. w. McMannis,
+. Q. Woodbury. and the ladies of Ell
Monte also sent beautiful tokens of their
appreciation. At the arrival of the hour
of the funeral Rev. Abraham Adams, of
the Methodist church, stepped forward
and delivered glowing tribute to the
memory of the deceased. His remarks
were indeed fitting and eloquent. He
spoke of the many virtues of the de-
ceased. The Reverend gentleman's re.
marks left deep impression upon the
minds of those present, NEARER, my
God, to Thee" was rendered by the or
gauist. after which the friends of "Hon-
est John" took their last farewell
look at the peaceful countenance
of their departed friend, and
many a tear was shed as they
passed the coffin. The funeral cortege
was then formed. The members of the
Masonic order Of Ell Monte took the lead
and were followed by the order of the
40. U.W., the members of which were
present in large numbers. Next came
the relatives and friends of the deceased.
The remains were inferred in the Ell
Monte cemetery, f. G. Woodbury. con-
Quoting the services. The members of
the Masonic order who paid the last sad
rites to the deceased were G. M. Bell,

Farming In California.

No one should leave Downey without
visiting the suburbs, Rivera and Ran

groves of Mr.. Parsons and the fig orchard
OF MIR. Stewart. Mr.. Parsons is said to
have been offered (and l repeat it lie
reasonably $1,000 per acre for his wal
nut lands. He declined to accept the
price, because, he says, he ia making
ten per cent. annually on valuation Of
$500 per acre.
Mr.. Stewards orchard of bearing figs
is small; but he is rapidly enlarging his
business, having set out over 900 fig
cuttings this year, and claims to have a
nursery of 100000 trees. His figs are
mostly of the white and brown SMYRNA
varieties. He also grows the White
Adriatic and Brown Ischia. He gives
preference to the White Smyrna, be.
cause it ripens month earlier than
the Adriatic. and is sweeter and
more tender fig. If the proof OF the pud
ding is to be found in the eating of it
why not look in the same direction fol
the evidence of the best fig. My preju
dice, reading and advice all incline me
to favor the White Adriatic, but I mus
admit that Stewards White Smyrna al
dried and packed by him, and crystalizeG
by Barnard & Benedict, is the best eat
ing fig now put up in California, ant
better than any foreign fig that I have
vet been able to find. Mr.. Stewart hal
been selling figs on the trees for the las
two years at $500 per acre. He claim
that by curing them himself, as he in
tends to do hereafter, he can make hi
orchard pay $500 per Downe,

Changes an Progress I'm It's Ar.
rang ement.
The improvements in the quarters of
the Police Department Of this city are
now being brought to a conclusion, and
the new Offices are already tenanted by
Chief Glass and his clerks. Entering
the door of what was formerly the City
Clerks Office, the visitor is now ushered
into passage which runs back the
whole length of the building. On either
side are light and airy rooms, partitioned
off for REORGANIZATION Of the officers of
the department. On the right hand are
the rooms of Chief Glass and the Board
of Police Commissioners, while on the
left are those OF Secretary Curran, Cap
tain Roberts and the detectives, the last
three rooms being divided by two pass
age-ways leading through to the former
quarters. The latter are being entirely
transformed, and will, when concluded,
present the appearance Of large drill
hall, surrounded by lockers for
the accommodation of the Of
ficers. The work of demolition
has already been commenced, and the
premises for the present are inviting,
but in few days the interior will be
renovated and cleaned throughout. At the
rear of the new offices, three new cells have
besn constructed, where the City Clerks
vault formerly stood, and over these a
reading room is being CONSTRUCTED for.the
use of the officers. Lastly, but by no
means the least important of the i'm
provements is closed staircase which
has been constructed from the jail into
the dock of tbs Police Court, so that
prisoners can be taken up and down
without being compelled to go out into
the street and through the station as has
heretofore been the case.
Up to the present nothing has been
done in the matter OF providing the nee
essary accommodations for receiving
hospital, but it is understood that the
apartment now used by the Fire Depart
ment as battery room is to be con-
verted into wardroom as soon as the
other alterations are completed. When
the new hall is opened up according to
the present plan this room, which was
formerly nothing more than G large
dark closet, will be light and well VEN
tilated apartment, admirably suited to
the purpose it is intended to fulfill.
