PoLlT1cs in the municipality are get
ting worked up to white heat Next
Tuesday the Democrats of Los Angeles
hold their precinct caucuses, and on
Thursday following the City Convention
will convene to put full ticket in the
field. The City Central Committee has
so ordered affairs that no primaries will
be held. The caucuses will nominate
the delegates to the Convention. This
is not strictly Democratic method OF
proceeding, but under existing circum-
stances it may appear necessary to
simplify matters to this extent. OF
course, if the voters in the several pre-
cincts will do their duty and turn out in
| full force at the caucus meetings,
no defect in the proposed method
will ensue. The caucus meet
ings are most popular gather
ing where every Democratic voter
has the right to appear and to make his
opinions count. 1t is his duty so to appear
and take part in the proceedings. The
Central Committee has made this as easy
as it can be made by ordering caucus
meetings in each precinct and distribut.
ing the delegates accordingly. There
are great many names of good mer
being proposed for the various offices
1t is manifestly and supremely proper
that the HERALD should itself refrain in
the present instance, as it has in all for
mer elections, from indicating any pref
erence for any individual. 1t has al
ways Loyalty supported the nominees o
the party, and, of course, will do 81
again. All we ask is that men of stand
ing, of integrity, of ability and OF un
questioned and unquestionable Demo
cracy be put before the people for thei
suffrages. Presupposing that the loca
Democrats will, in the present instance
follow the traditions of the party ant
put such citizens forward, we do not Car
to let private or personal views ant
preferences come between us and ou
duty TO the party.

TINE and again in the past three years
the HERALD has given expression to the
popular sentiment that the assessment
of this county was unreasonably high.
Whatever reason, growing out of inflated
prices incident to excited speculation,
may have appeared to exist in the past
to justify such q programme, it is no
longer found in our present situation.
The paper towns of that era are dead
and the towns with merit behind them
and reason for their existence in their
surroundings have taken root and are
growing. The new assessment ought to
be made to conform to the changed con-
dition of things. The Assessor has a
Herculean task before him to do this.
The ratings of last year will not do
as a guide for this year. Some
property will be found reasonably
enough assessed; in some cases an in
crease may be justified, but they will be
rare; and in very large number of
cases the schedule should be carefully
scaled 30 as to conform to the facts of the
case and the equities between the tax
payers of Los Angeles and those Of SINH
lar counties in the State. The Board of
Trade has taken this matter up, and rec
ommend some action looking to Sc
curing justice to our property owners.
The Board also takes up the delinquent
tax list Of this year, and asks that the
laws be so changed as to permit of the
payment of taxes in semi-annual in
stallments, and also for Deputy Collectors
to be sent over the county to collect
near the homes of the people. This is
another excellent suggestion. We have
urged both these measures on the atten-
ton of our representatives at Sacra-
mento, but thus far no action has been
taken there by any one. The peoples
interests are at stake in these matters,
md those who represent us at the State
Capital will be derilict in their duty if |
hey neglect to give US some measure of
'elief.

THE Fiftieth Con gress, whose term OF
existence is now rapidly drawing to q
close, will lbe fam GUS in the history Of
the Union for its liberal appropriations
ior harbor defenses and fol the Tehabiii-
tation of the navy. Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration, too, will hereafter be famous
for the part it has taken in providing us
with an efficient naval service. The bills
for these purposes yesterday in the SEN
ate were amended by largely increased
appropriations. There is no doubt of the
wisdom of this policy of giving coast
cities means of pr election in case of war,
and Of giving us navy the superior Of
that of any nation on earth. If these
funds are but judi ciously and honestly
spent, the country will applaud these
generous outlays.

Commencing tomorrow evening at
the Grand Opera House, Mr.. j. K. EN-
met will present his new comedy, Our
Fritz. The Cincinnati Gazette says /:
Joe Emmett, the same light-hearted,
merry Fritz" appeared at the Grand
last night, just as young and sweet of
voice as ever, bubbling up melodiously
like vast soDg-memory of the past
There was vast audience assembled,
and one quite as responsive as ever
honored "Fritz" by it's applause. What
striking and remarkable character is
Emmett, at any rate. How marked his
individuality, and how lasting his hold
upon the public. If he has aged any it
was not apparent last evening, nor has
he deteriorated any in voice, nor lost any
of his elasticity of step. He sang and
danced just as of old, carrying his audi
ence to that pitch where his every song
was redemanded. Mr.. Emmett presented
the original Fritz" the best and most
of all his plays, and it may be
said that those who saw him last evening
saw him at his best.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The CarletOns Produce SNanOn'' at
the Grand.
Last night, after very satisfactory
2.o'clock matinee, when Mynheer Jan
was given, Mr.. Carleton and company
produced Nanon at the Grand Opera
House. The rendition of the old-time
favorite was up to the high artistic
standard of all performances of the week.
The features of the Nanon rendition were
that Miss Lane appeared to most decided
advantage in the title role, acting the
charming part much better than she did
that of "Javotte" on the preced-
ing night. Her arch manner and
tender portrayal of deep passion for her
Drummer were very clever. In fact
she was perfectly satisfactory in the role,
which is saying much for those vino have
been fascinated by Fanny Rice "Nanon." :"
And the other feature of last night was
when, in the famous waltz song, Mr..
Murray's voice was heard to advantage
for the first time in the week. No less
than three vociferous recalls were the re-
suit of hearing this gentleman's charm
ingly exquisite voice.
The Carleton's commence series of
three farewell performances tonight at
the Los Angeles Theater, with produc-
ton of the most popular comic opera OF
the day, the Mikado, a delightful musi-
cal burlesque. which, apparently. "age
cannot wither nor custom stale" The
coy and cunning three little maids, the
magic and weird "Katisha," the agile
and comical "Koko," "Poo Ball." with
his stately absurdity and the musical
"Nanki Poo," not forgetting the urbane
and firtatious "Mikado," will all say
az revoir to their admirers in Los Ange-
les tonight.
On Monday evening the delightful
Dorothy, with its furbelous and founces
and white wigs and patches will show us
the styles and gallantries of the days OF
our great-grandfathers, and on Tuesday
the Carletons will make their farewell
bow with repetition OF Erminie. This
will be the last appearance of Mr..
Carleton and his company on the Pacific
coast for several years.

When the writer came to Los Angeles,
some fourteen years ago, Inglewood was
dream of the future, and scarcely any
one excepting Mr.. d. Freeman ever
thought that such an exquisite and COM
manding region, settled by a most
eclectic population, would ever be de.
veloped there. For years Mr.. Dan Free
man ran it as a sheep range, and lost
money on it. Next he ran it as grain
farm, and made money. All the while
the superb orchards and plantations
were being got under way, preparing for
that scene of beauty and profit that one
at Inglewood to-day. We
say profit, because the orchard will yield
s10, 900 or $4,000 worth of citrus fruits.

chapter of it's unfoldment. There is no |
reasonable limit to the growth of this
delightful spot, which is in truth but

They are neither lazy nor idle, but are con-
tent to accomplish their aims by the most

several classes of non-pr0grossive farmers.
There is another class, nnmerOus and de.

The Ups and Downs of the Market, with the
Range I'm Prices of Leading Articles.

CHICAGO. July 31.-To-day's session
closed without sensational features in the
wheat pit. July did not sell above the
closing figures of yesterday, and there were
no indications of any attempt at manipula-
ton. the price being down TO within a
small fraction of August before noon. The
general market opened in rather a nervous
and hesitating manner. with some shorts
disposed to cover. as initial trades were at
a decline of lie as compared with yester-
days closing. The early weakness, how
ever. was but temporary, and notwith-
standing the large receipts posted here and
at other points, the market gradually hard
ened under the influence of ostentatious
and rather large buying of August wheat
by brokers for prominent local operator.
Without scarcely reaction September
moved up Csc from the opening figures and
December l2c. Local sentiment, in fact
favored the bull side throughout the first
half OF the session. early cables being firm.
A dispatch from northern Dakota said that
the spring-wheat harvest had begun. and
would be under full Roadway by Aug.
8; also, that threshing would be
practically over in two weeks.
which puts all danger from frost ont of tho
question. The market closed quiet with
August shade stronger. September and
year unchanged. December 1sc lower and
July 17sc off. Only moderate business
was transacted in corn. trading being
mainly local. The feeling was compare
lively finn. and higher prices were the
rule, especially SO on the near futures. The
principal feature was trade in July, which
was wanted and sold at one time at lc
premium over September The market
opened at about yesterdays close: was firm
