About Fifty Cent Cigars.

''This talk about fifty cent cigars makes
me red, " remarked dealer the other day.
81 have been in Havana, and 1 know
what I am talking about when l say the
very finest cigar made can be sold for
twenty cents at profit. To make it cost
fifty cents you may wrap it in gold leaf,
tie it with silk or perfume the box, but
you can't smoke the leaf, the silk or the
box. The cigar is what you're after, and
when you get the best you can't get any
better. That's common sense, and to pay
fifty cents for cigar is simply to be
cheated out of thirty cents and let the
dealer know that you are a snob. ~

That $9S, 900, supposed to have been
expended on roads, is thing that sticks
in the craw of every taxpayer OF Los
Angeles county. Every man of sellse
knows that somewhere in this account
there is a contaminated villainy of q
colossal order. The HERALD has been
groaning over the extravagantly high
assessments Of County Assessor Mason
which ought, OF course, to have lowered
the rate of taxation to a mere bagatelle
and here the taxpayer finds himself con-
fronted not only by an ahsurdly high
valuation, but by preposterously high
rate of taxation as we'll. This is q
species of financial cross-sawing with
which the men who foot the bills have
no patience. We are told that we have
spent sos. 900 on roads, and yet we have
no roads! Somebody must shoulder a
fearful responsibility in this matter
We will add, in the language of the
elegiac poet. "Don't you forget itp
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-12

THERE is very marked sympathy y
amongst the taxpayers of Los Angeles
with the HrRALp's agitation about the
large county expenditures, which are
grouped in the official reports in lump
sums Yesterday quite a number OF
leading taxpayers visited this Office and
suggested that the Board of Trade en-
ploy an expert to ascertain all the items
of expenditures which are crowded
under generalities that do not glitter to
those who have to pay the bills. Moth
l1g can SO strongly contribute to feel
ing Of confidence in Los Angeles as a
.QoWledge that our county concerns are
adninistered intelligently and honestly,
sud with view to keeping the rates
low. This expert ought to be employed.
That special item of nearly $33, 900,
classified as sundries, would doubtless
of itself pay many times for the services
of an expert when its true inwardness
should have been disclosed.

case in Europe. These things promise
to be of great importance in the industrial
future of this codntry.-[ Oakland En-,
ewirer.
Our neighbor by the Bay is quite cor
rect in these representations. Cali
fornia will in the future produce sugar
enough for the whole Nation. Southern
California will have the advantage in this
industry as in others. Two crops of
beats year will grow on thousands of
acres Of our moist and irrigated lands,
and thus the plant is not dead half the
year. We must strike for beginning
here st once. February and March are
the months to plant. This is close at
hand and do not let time pass unheeded.

and thus secure the credit and the profit

The Wellington Golfers TO b.
Bodily EViCted,

ST. PAUL, January ia Pioneer Press
Victoria, B. c., special says: The
Wellington coal mine difficulty assumed
a serious aspect to-day. The miners
held meeting laat night and decided
not to return to work. A committee
visited Mr.. Dunsmuir yesterday and he
offered to take back all except the ring.
leaders. Upon receiving the Information
OF their decision to-day he telegraphed
Manager Brydon to notify the miners to
leave the company's houses immedi-
ately. Notices will be served in the
morning as some three hundred men are
affected. The evictions can hardly be
effected without trouble. The general
opinion is that the men acted hastily
that they have no real grievances, and
that the trouble is the work of some pro
fessional agitators who have nothing else
to do. The miners have been making
from So to So a day.
VICTORIA, B. c., January S.-Affairs at
Wellington are quiet, though consider.
able differences of opinion exist among
the miners about returning to work.
Notices have been served upon the
occupants Of the company's houses tc
leave them within thirty days.

TYRos in political economy and persons
who are totally ignorant of its principles
and of their working all agree in one
fallacious line of reasoning. 1t is that
labor saving machinery tends to lessen
the demand for human service and the
opportunities for the wage'earner to
make living. There never was greater
mistake committed, and railroading is
the best proof OF this statement. 1t is
given out on the very best authority that
the addition of 200 miles of new rail-
road in this country in 1888 called for
SO 900 new employees to operate the
roads. That is at the rate OF about five
men for each mile of road. At present
there is an army of 785I00O men en-
ployed in railroading in its vari-
ous branches. Then there is an
other army employed in making
rails to replace those worn out, in getting
out the iron from the mines, the material
| from the forests for the cars, and in all
the other ramifications of this great in
dnstry. So it is in all lines of enter
prise-the more aman can accomplish
in a day, whether it is by the aid o1
machinery or otherwise. the more he is
worth, and the greater demand there lie
for his services. Then there is the other
fact to consider, that by Eeans oi
machinery the day laborer of our time is
better clothed, better fed, better housed
and better cared for in all ways than
we're the mobiles, of what sentimentalistf
call "the brave days of DID,"

I'm the Coming Time

Claus Spreckels announces in an inter.
view that his California beet sugar fac.
tory enterprise has gone so far that he
no longer entertains doubt OF its sue
cess, and he predicts that in a few years
the United States, advancing from the
position of an importer of sugar, will be-
come large exporter. This great COM
mercial achievement is mostly in the fu-
ture, but start has been made, and the
importance of that can hardly be overes-
timated. 1t has been proved that beet
sugar can be made profitably in the
United States; that there is as much
money in the business here as in France
or Germany, if not more that in Califor-
mia, at least, sugar beets average more
sugar than in Europe. and that our
cheaper lands are an element in the
problem of cost which is of great i'm port
ance to Us. Another thing which prom
ises to be Of great importance, 90 far as
California is concerned, is that in the
southern irrigated counties beets can be
grown in the winter, and that thus it
may be found possible to run a sugar
mill in California all the year around, in.
stead of only few months, as il the

EVEN the Railscay Age has been in.
-credulous as to the building of the Salt
Lake City and Los Angeles road. 1t is
indeed a great undertaking. The plan
embraces q road from Sioux City, Iowa
to Ogden and thence to Los Angeles. A
dispatch in the Herald this morning
from Sioux City states that the contract
has been let for grading the road from
that point to Ogden. 1t looks as if there
we're solid backing behind this project
and as if the Angelic City we're to have
its fourth transcontinental line of road
completed by the ending Of this decade

Another Masher,

Another of those obnoxious beings
called mashers has made his appearance,
apparently holding forth on the corner of
Second and Fort streets. A few evenings
ago a lady residing in that vicinity,
deeming it safe to visit the letter box on
the corner, walked past the church and,
as she did 80, noticed this being, who
made noise with his mouth to attract
attention. On her return across the
street he said "Good evening"" and the
lady, paying no attention to hiuc, walked
rapidly toward her home. He followed
her to the door of her house and fright
ened her so that she could hardly run
upstairs. Unfortunately there was no
man at home to give the masher what he
deserved. A night or two later another
lady was accosted on the same corner,
and a watch is now being kept on that
locality by several gentlemen armed with
clubs.

Sens ati0naI Outcome of a Wtfesa
ALLEGED Suicide.

STEVENS POINT, Wis, January H.
DR.. G. Meyer. aged "a, well known
physician OF this city, was shot and in.
stantly killed on the street this afternoon
by Phillip Griffith, his father-in-law.
On December 10Th the DOCTORS wife died
from the effects of a pistol shot which he
claimed YVES fired by her own hand. Cir
cumstantial evidence warranted the
Coroner's jury in not bringing in a ver-
dict Of suicide, but the deed was not
charged to any person. The parents
and brother of Mrs. Meyer stoutly main
tanned that she did not commit suicide
and the father had been endeavoring
since to secure warrant for the doctors
arrest, but without avail. To-day g
tragedy is the outcome of the affray.
William Griffith, the Doctors brother
inlaw, was also arrested, he having
