CALIFORNIA cannot afford to lose such
men as VIM. T. Garrett, who died at his
home in San Francisco on Tuesday. He
was man of great energy, of indomit-
able will, push and perseverance,. He
arrived on the Coast in pioneer times,
and established the first brass foundry
ever started in this State. Although his
shops were destroyed by fire at three
different times, be never lost heart, but
came out of the ordeal each time with
fresh energy, and at the time Of his
death he had one of the most extensive
and fourishing foundries in the
State. He had an inventive
genius, and many valuable improve
ments in pumps, engines and other ma.
chinery were wrought out by him. AS
he amassed wealth he placed it in en-
terprises and industries that proved Of
benefit to the State. With Governor
Perkins and Mr.. Richard Gird, he was
interested in very important land and
water scheme near the Mexican line in
Arizona. He had held many offices Of
trust in San Francisco, and represented
that city in the State Senate from 1870
to 1874. He was strong man in every
respect, in character, in ability and in
business acu men and energy.

Johnstown Relief FUND

PHILADELPHIA, January 16.-At meet
ing Of the Johnstown Flood Relief Com.
mission today, Governor Beaver pre-
sided. Arrangements were perfected
with the Girard Life Insurance and Trust
Company for the administration of the
annuity fund whereby 522 children, un-
der 16 years of age, orphaned by
the food, receive $50 annually until
they reach the age OF 16. Various
other forms of relief for the destitute
were adopted. The Secretary's report
shows that there were estimated to have
bsen drowned in the Conemaugh
valley $3.50 persons; number of
bodies recovered, 1875; identified, .02l ;
unidentified, 654; missing, 605. The re-
lief fund received from various sources
amounted to $2,9O2.O75 After all the
expenditures for relief have been paid
the commission have on hand an unex-
pended balance of $70,631.

A CORRESPONDENT from San Francisco

A CORRESPONDENT from San Francisco
writes US that it is almost impossible tc
get Los Angeles paper in that city.
He says: 81 have hunted through the
Public Library reading-rooms, both in
this city and Oakland; also in the Young
Mems Christian Association rooms in
both cities; also in the Palace hotel
reading-room, and have. always failed to
find any Los Angeles papers, save some
HERALD chestnuts four or FIVE days old ;
and even these are eagerly read, and are
hard to get hold of. I waited thirty
minutes one day in the Palace reading
room to get hold of file of the HERALD,
and was frozen out then by man who
had been waiting longer than had, and
who grabbed it as soon as it was decent
to do So" =
Not only is it difficult to get access to
a Los Angeles paper in San Francisco,
but at the news stands where they are
occasionally sold, they are. as our
correspondent says, of tardy dates and
the charge for them is dime. These
facts are correlative. No San Francisco
news dealer wishes to create demand
for Los Angeles papers, and to avoid
doing 30 he makes the price ridiculously
large and the date back number. This
is in marked contrast to the way the San
Francisco papers are treated in Los An.
geles, more's the pity. Although, for
instance, the Chronicle invariably lands
every transcontinental railway that is
breaking for Los Angeles in San Diego,
and the other Frisco dailies are little
fairer, they are sold and read here very
as the exceptional merit of
many of them justices. At the same
time, considering the size of the place,
no abler or more complete journals are
published in the world than those of Los
Angeles, and they are Disseminated
against simply because San Francisco is
provincial enough to be jealous of the
Angelic City.

Building Fund.
AN INCREASE OF $780, ,ooc
La Grippe Raging in San Francisco

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERa1nI
WASHINGTON, January 16.-The Sscre-
tsry OF the Treasury recommended to the
House today, that the limit of the cost
of the public building at Los Angeles. be
increased from $15O,O00 to $500 900.
The object of this increase is to purchase
additional land to extend the present
building, and another story which should
be constructed in order to afford prooer
accommodation for the public service.
The building as at present designed and
contracted for is not sufficient to accom-.
modate the needs of the public service,
even at this time, and affords much less
space for the postofice than it has in the
rented building now occupied by the
Government.
IA former dispatch on this subject,
which was received and sent to press be-
fore the foregoing came to hand, placed
the limit of the increased appropriation
recommended by the Secretary of the
Treasury at $3.50, 900 instead of $500, 900.
The first telegram was somewhat am
biguouY in wording, and was deciphered
as meaning that the appropriation was to
be incrsasedonly from $3.50, 900 to $780,
600; but this later dispatch makes the
net increase $3.50 900, or $500, 900 for the
limit of the appropriation. This is more
in accord with the urgency OF the eitua-
ton, and on the principle "small favors
thankfully received, larger ones in pro-
portion," the citizens of Los Angeles (if
the recommendations of the Secretary
are favorably acted upon by Congress)
have reason to be very thanKful.-ED.

Parke Found Gufl,v.

LONDON, January 16.-The trial of Mr..
Parke, editor of the North London Press,
on the charge of criminal libel preferred
against him by the Earl of Euston was
concluded today. Justice Hawkins in
summing up the case, spoke of the great
and manifest discrepancies in the testi-
mony of the witnesses called by Mr..
Parke's counsel to identify the Earl of
Euston. He said that if the story told
by the witness Saul, who testified that
he and the Earl of Euston had commit
ted a criminal action in the house on
Cleveland street was true, he mar.
veled that Saul had not been
prosecuted, and that warrant
against the Earl of Euston had not
been applied for. Mr.. Parke was found
guilty OF libeling the Earl, and was an
fenced to one years imprisonment.

The esteemed Tribune has discovered
that there is an occasional difference
amongst Democrats as to the tariff. This
ia not as new as the scintillations of that
brilliant journal ought to be. The Demo
cratic party is an organization which has
always embraced the great mass of the
American people, and they have always
believed in free discussion. Wnen they
agree they are always irresistible.
The great controlling principle
amongst Democrats has always been
sin essentials unity, in non.essen-
tials liberty, in all things charity" As
long as we shall be obliged to raise big
revenue to carry on the government, pa
off the principal and interest of the
national debt and liquidate swinging
pension claims, there will be no conten-
tions amongst Democrats which cannot
be arranged on such a basis as the plat
form of 1884. Nearly all Democrats be.
lieved in the Mills bill and in Mr..
Cleveland's message, but all Demo
Gratis did not believe in the Interpretation
given to either by many hot-headed
Democrats, who succeeded in persuading
the margin of the people who determined
the result of the election of 1888 that
those admirable public performances
meant free trade. The country is not
quite ready for free trade, and it is very
unkind to try to persuade the people that
the Democratic party has any intention
to precipitate it upon them. What
the party ought to demand, what
it probably will demand in 1892,
ls the lowest possible duties on
imports consistent with defraying the
expenses of the government economic
ally administered, with all the cum
brousness, gross injustice and inequali-
ties OF the war tariff removed, with the
duties go adjusted as to favor the Ameri.

!, Facts and Their Moral.

The development of the blizzavd
cycione' tornado, or by whatsoever
name one may call the peculiar weatbos
dlspensations of the region east of the
Rockies is comparatively new thing,
especially as to the Eastern and Middle
States. Something of the kind had
occasionally been reported from Kansas :
back in the fifties, but the first real
cyclone in the State of New York oci
Cured in the Spring of 1873. It blew q
portion OF train off the track and carried
one young lady distance of three or
four hundred yards. The next and most
serious eastern development of the kind
occurred in the hills back of Allegheny.
A cloud, burst there in q funnel-shaped
ravine, did great deal of damage to
property and killed between three and
four hundred psople, together with many
horses, COWS and other animals.
Curious pranks of the cyclone had
been reported for many years from the
West, which not only involved loss Of
life and property, but demonstrated in
an especial manner the great power oi
the elements. In Kansas and adjoining
States it was no unusual thing fol-
q tornado to come along in a
spiral form and twist the
steeple off of church, carrying i;
for distance of miles and dropping il
down intact. In extensive sections oi
nfr nit
of the people to build caves for refuge in
case of storms.
/ Undoubtedly the most tremendous
storm ever known in the Eastern States
was the celebrated blizzard in March
1888. Its greatest severity was reported
from New York, but that was only be.
cause in New York there is such a greai
population. 1t was every whit as severe
IN Washington, Baltimore and Boston
In all these cities everything of the char.
a'ter of vehicle disappeared as com.
pletely as if they had never existed.
Street cars were left standing on the
, tracks, aud were week thawing out.
Men were frozen almost solid as they
walked to their hotels or homes. Roscoe
Conkling was caught in snowdrifs and
was killed by the exposure, as were
thousands of others, less we'll known.
The seeds of death were laid by that
storm in hundreds of thousands oil
people.
The moral of all of which is come out
to California, where the cyclone has
never put in an appearance. Do not
stand on the order of your coming, but
come at once.

Moody,s Institute opened.

CHICAGO, January 16-The mems de-
partment of D. L. Moody's new Evan
gelical institute was opened today with
an address by Mr.. Moody and several
prominent local clergymen. Large num-
bers of people attended the building
during the day. The institute will aim
10 train missionaries to get at the un-
ieacneai 81 nj NJ ass ssss in the city and country.
The idea as announced is 'to turn out
aggressive men to go into the gambling
dens and slums; to lay their lives along
side the abandoned, and so to save"
Training is to be largely through
contact, under guidance, with actual
work. The cost of the building was
$l25. 900, and was met chiefly by we'll
known Chicago business men. In ad
dition to the regular corps of instructors
the plan is to have continuous success

centers in this country and Europe.
