The Closing Of Corona do.

For some days past there have been
rumors floating about that the great
Hotel del Coronado, at San Diego, was
ahont to close its doors, in fact, it waf
said that the crash would come on Sat
dav ,ast. Rumor had it that the hotel
was losing money at the rate OF IRON
$500 to 81 900 week, but TINS scarcely
seemed credible, as the building is wei wei
filed now and is probably doing better
than it has ever done before. Genera
Manager Dan McCool heard the rumorf

GOnjOus Case.

Hippolyte Gonjous, charged with hav
ing smuggled 300 cigars across from Mex
leo, was arraigned in the United States
District Court Yesterday. and pleaded
not guilty. His case was set for trial on
February 18th. 1t will be remembered
that Gonjous with having driven past
the Inspector of Customs at Tia Juana,
and of having deposited IN a barn 9
bundle containing 800 cigars, which he
had smuggled across the border. The
trial will prove quite interesting.

Continuous Rail.

An inventor has left sample OF a pa
tent continuous rail on Mr.. Muir's desk
at the Southern Pacific depot. The device
is apparently good one, the rail being
fitted in lengthwise movable slots under
meath allowing for the shrinkage. 1t is
certainly ingenious but whether practic-
able or not as regards working and ex-
pense, has not yet been decided.

The many liberal and t1attering inducements
now held out to the public in the shape of win

acceptable were it not for the cold. damp, and

"Brown. whose hams do you use ?''
"I always buy the Lilly put up by the
Los Angeles Cold Storage Company" F"
"Why do you prefer the Lilly hams ?"
because they are sweeter, and are
smoked in this city. All hams not
branded the Lilly are smoked either at
San Francisco or in the Eastern cities,
and you cannot tell how long they have
been smoked before shipping, and then
they are from ten to fifteen days on the
road; so you see they are quite ancient
by the time they reach Los Angeles,
while the Lilly hams are put on the
market fresh every day."
We are informed that hams of an in
ferior quality are being offered for sale
by certain merchants in this city, who
represent them to be genuine "Lilly"
hams. Do not be deceived; see that
every ham you buy is branded the
"Lilly."

A Plea for the Brakemen.

The attention of the interstate commerce
commission has been called to the urgent
need of congressional legislation for both
protection of tho lives and limbs of those
engaged in operating the great interstate
freight lines of the country, and especi-
ally of the yardmen and brakemen. A
petition signed by nearly ten thousand rail
way brakemen, was presented to this COM
mission, asking that steps might be taken to
bring about the use of automatic brakes
and couplers on freight cars. At meeting
of the state railroad commissioners and
their accredited representatives.. held at
Washington in March last. upon the invita-
ton of the interstate commerce commits
sion, a resolution was unanimously adopted
urging the commission 'to consider what
can be done to prevent the loss of life and
limb in coupling and uncoupliAg freight
cars, and in handling the brakes
of such cars" During the year
ending June 80, 1888, over 1900 railroad
employees were killed in the service and
more than 10000 injured. 1t is competent,
think, for congress to require uniformity
in the construction of cars used in inter-
state commerce and the use of improved
safety appliances upon such trains. Time
will be necessary to make the needed
changes, but an earnest and intelligent be-
ginning should be made at once. It is re-
proach to our civilization that any class
of American workmen should, in the pur-
suit of q necessary and useful vocation. be
subjected to peril of life and limb as great
as that of soldier in time of war.

The District of Columbia.

The interests of the people of the District
of Columbia should not be lost sight of IN
the pressure for consideration of measures
affecting the whole country. Having no
legislature of its own, either municipal or
general, its people must look to congress for
fhe regulation of those concerns that are the
subject of local control. Our whole people

The New States,

The advent of four new states South Da-
kota, North Dakota. Montana and Wash
lngton-into the union under the constitu-
ton in the same month, and the admission
of their duly chosen representatives to our
national congress at the same session, is an
event as uneXampled as it ia interesting.
The certification of the votes cast and of the
constitutions adopted in each of the states
was filed with me as required by section
~ OF the action of February %, 1889, by the
governors of said territories, respectively.
Having, after a careful examination, found
that the several constitutions and govern
ments were republican in form
and not repugnant to the
constitution of the United States:
that all the provisions of the act of congress
had been complied with, and that a major
ity of the votes cast in each of said proposed
states was i'll FAVOR of the adoption Of the
constitution submitted therein, did SO de-
declare by separate proclamation as to
each; as to North Dakota and South Da-
kota on Saturday, November 2; as to Mon
tana ; on Friday, November 8, and as to
Washington on Monday, November IL.
Each of these states has within it re-
sources, the development of which will en-
ploy the energies of, and yield comforta-
BILE subsistence to great population. The
smallest of these new states, Washington,
stands twelfth, and the largest, Montana,
third among the forty-two in area. The
people of these states are already we'll
trained, intelligent and patriotic American
citizens, having common interests and SYM
pathies with those of the older states, and a
common purpose to defend the integrity of,
and uphold the honor of the nation.

The Negro Problem.

The interest of the general government in
the education of the people found an early
expression, not only in the thoughtful and
sometimes warning utterances of our ablest
statesmen, but in liberal appropriations
from the common resources for the support
of education in the new states. No one
vii! deny that it is of the gravest national
concern that those who hold the ultimate
control of all public affairs should have the
intelligence necessary to direct and deter
mine them. National aid to education has
heretofore taken the form of land grants,
and in that form the constitutional power of
congress to promote the education of people
is not seriously questioned. lido not
think it can be successfully questioned when
the form is changed to that of a direct
grant of money from the public
treasury. Such aid should be, as it always
has been, suggested by some exceptional
conditions. The sudden emancipation of the
slaves, the bestowal of the suffrage which
soon followed and the impairment of the
ability of the states where these new citizens
were chiefly found to be adequately pro-
vided with educational facilities, presented
not only exceptional but unexampled condi-
tions. That the situation
HAS BEEN MUCH AMEL1ORATED
there is no doubt. The ability and interest
of the states have happily increased, but a
great work remains to be done, and I think
the general government should lend it's aid.
As the suggestion of national grant
in aid Of education grows chiefly
