THERE are good many laboring mel

THERE are good many laboring men
! in Los Angeles who are now out of work,
and this Notwithstanding the fact that q
great deal of building is inst now going
on here-far more, in fact, that in any
!. city of our size on the American conti-
nent. There never was better time
than the present to push the necessary
public works, whose details have been
discussed for so long time. The kind
of workingmen needed in Los Angeles
are people who know how to farm and
take charge of truck gardens. There are
openings here for several thousands of
this kind of workingman. The HERALD
some time ago gave details!of the magnifi-
cent farming lands on the Santa Anita,
Puente and San Francisquito ranches,
with perfect facilities for irrigation,
which Mr.. E. J. Baldwin will lease for
a third of the crop, that gentleman sup
plying feed for the teams and seed, the
latter to be returned from the crop. The
best portions of these lands have been
known to yield one hundred and fifty
bushels of corn to the acre. On such
lands an industrious farmer would soon
wax comfortable, if not rich. OIL
mechanics and artisans there are prob
ably at present in Los Angeles more
than enough, and the same may be said
of unskilled labor. There is, of course,
. limit to the amount of employment q
city of eighty Thousand people can fur
nish, and that limit has been reached in
the case of the metropolis of Southern
California.

LAST night the Democratic voters Of
the city came out to the precinct eau
cuses in great force. In the main, they
we're representative, substantial citizens,
and the delegates chosen to the Conven-
ton, which meets tomorrow, are OF the
same class of men. In some instances
there was an element present whose
hand in anything means mischief and
whose presence is no addition to tire
party's strength. It is most gratifying to
know that in most instances the schemes
of these fellows were foiled. They were
generally out-voted, five to one. In a
city Of the proportions of this, of'Course,
some Objectionable men always get into
a political convention. In that of to-
morrow they are so few that then weight
in it's deliberations will be as afeather
The solid and intelligent representation
will be fifty to one against the othel
class. From the complexion of the con-
vention as it appears now, We may al
hope to zee an excellent ticket put in the
field for all the Offices. 'On thii
hinges the election. Mark it, nt
suspect, no bungler, no crank, nj
unprogressive man will be elected. Any
such that are found on the ticket will bt
scratched by the great rank and file o
the party. Gentlemen of the Conven
ton, the local Democrats expect grea
things of you. Scan closely the name
of the men, their general record ant
their present associations, and see tina
you give 1s Thoroughly good men. LIE
them be Democrats to the core, let then
be above suspicion, and let them be abl'
and progressive.

TEE Democratic party in this city hal

THE Democratic party in this city has
ut all times put before the people for
their suffrages the names Of men Of
irreproachable character, Of competent
ability and of progressive ideas. 1t is to
be hoped that the Convention of to-mor-
row will follow this honorable and wise
precedent, and give the party ticket
worthy of its history. We believe the
Convention will do no less than this, but
We feel that this is turn in the tide Of
political parties in this city. To put up
objectionable men would be to ensure

THERE have been few of our public
men whose stature has undergone such a
remarkable diminution as that of Secre-
taTy BayaTd since he exchanged seat IN
the United States Senate to become the
head of Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet. For
years the Senator from Maryland was in
the very forefront of the Democratic can.
didates for President. He was man of
the first eminence in Democratic politics,
ranking with such men as Horatio Sey-
mour, Allen G. Thurman and others as
available Presidential timber. On one
occasion he got as high as les votes for
that exalted Office in a Democratic
National Convention. He was looked
upon as, and indeed was, one Of our
most valuable public men. His career
at the State Department, however, must
be admitted to have been one of blank
failure, and the reason probably is that
Mr.. Bayard was too long about Washing
ton to retain the genuine American senti-
'menS. The social current there is stronger
than the political, and the foreign lega-
tions cut very big swath in all social
movements. The Chamberlain special
embassy, assisted by the Saekville-W
regular legation, is generally understood
to have wined and dined our public men
to an unusual extent. Doubtless if
there had been fewer balls and banquets
given by the visiting Englishmen, and
graciously received by Mr.. Bayard and
others, the outcome of the Fisheries
negotiations would have been more &C.
eeptable to the American people at large.
With an unblemished personal honor
and the best intentions, Mr.. Bayard, in
position which really afforded him
many opportunities to increase his hold
upon his party and the country, has
really made it impossible that he shall
ever again be regarded as a possible
Democratic candidate for President. His
vacillating conduct during the Samoan
imbroglio has put the capsheaf upon his
discontinue. The moral of all which is,
don't be Secretary of State if you have
been in Washington long enough to have
put your legs under the mahogany of
many of the insinuating foreign minis
ters.

The Winter Evenings.

If the parents of large family can
afford room, comfortable in all its APP
pointments, as reading-room for the
children, and let them make display of
their own tastes and means in its decor
atoms, they will give them something
to love home for. Require the boys and
girls to keep it neat and clean. Let
them use it of evenings to crack nuts,
pop corn and roast apples, and enjoy
themselves to the full extent in their
own way and in their own room, and
when the evening" is over leave the room
neatly cleaned for next evening. It
may be that the young folks have
neither time or means to use this room
through the day; but when evening
comes the boys should take turns at
making the fire and carrying the coal,
while the girls see that it is clearly
swept and busted and the lamp filled
and trimmed, and each ones papers or
books are arranged around the lamp in
piles as they like them. To this room
let the girls bring their sewing or knit
ting. If the family is large they prob
ably are having to sew and knit to help
mother get them ready for school; and
while they buisly apply their fingers
pany to read aloud something that will
interest the girls as we'll as themselves.
After the winter clothing is all ready
for use then the girls can have some.

or knitting, as their tastes may desire,

suit microscopically examined. No
microbes, or few, were found on the dry

ments was held to justify an earnest
