TUESDAY, JANUARY 2s, 1880.
ON the Eve of a Great Industrial
Revival.

The official information published in
Sundays HERALD, confirming all the re-
ports we had previously given as to the
extension of the Union Pacific to this
Coast, takes the whole matter out of the
realm of doubt. 1t is now settled fact
that the Union Pacific, backed by the
Vanderbilt system, is coming here as
rapidly as the road can be built. 1t will
strike the Atlantic and Pacific road at
Baratow. There it will merge with the
Santa Fe, and by agreement already en-
tered into, reach Los Angeles over
the rails of that road. This
will virtually give us another distinct
and Independent overland road. But
perhaps that fact will count but little in
summing up the benefits it will bring to
our section whsn compared with the
vast and exhaustless mineral resources
it will open to US. The dormant mines
of region reaching from Picche to Ord
district one way and from Pahranaghat
to White Pine the other way-embracing
$4,000 square miles of territory, a great
deal of which is rich in mines-will be
opened to the capital and enterprise CT
Los Angeles. A vast population will
seek the mines of that region,
and ores that carry silver and
gold and other metals, but which
cannot be worked there. will be
brought here for separation and reduc-
tion. Works for this purpose will neces-
sarily be established here to meet the
wants of The miners, and become the
sources of employment to thousands OF
men. The coal mines of Utah will fur
nish us cheap fuel, and this will stim-
ulate the establishment here of great
variety of factories which have hereto.
fore only failed to materializs on ac-
count OF the difficulties presented by the
fuel question. The coal of the Utah
mines is said to be the best for steam
purposes yet discovered on this side the
continent.
All these facts are of the most mo-
mentous interest to our people, aside
from the advantages we shall derive
from an additional transcontinental rail-
road. They point unmistakably to the
revival of activities here on a very large
scale in the immediate future, and justify
US in looking forward to an accession OF
wealth and population to Los Angeles in
q very few years that will mike her one
of the great leading seats of opulence,
industry and commerce OF the United
States. The census of 1900 will place
the population of Los Angeles at between
two and three hundred thousand, and
this is modest prediction when ali
things are fairly considered.

IT ia estimated that the retrenchments
passed upon by the Council yesterday
will decrease the outlay to the extent of
about $4,000 per month, and that with
careful management this will carry the
city solvently through the year. All but
one member agreed to pay back into the
treasury ten per cent. Of their salaries
an act which does them credit and which
we are pleased to record. All supplies
for the several municipal departments
are hereafter to be procured by competi-
tive bids, and this will stop number Of
petty leaks which in the aggregate we're
quite formidable.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1890-01-28

A YOUNG lady who is spending her
first winter in the semi-tropics told the
writer yesterday tuat she has kept a
record of rainy days since the first down
pour on the 31st of August last, and has
found total of more than twenty rainy
days. She did not note partially rainy
days in this catalogue. Had she done
60 she would have found nearly twice as
many days on which some rain fell. If
she had kept the record of cold days and
frosty nights she would have had another
interesting exhibit for q section whose
boast is her weather. People who have
been born here and who are now grow
ing gray say they never saw such season
before. How very exceptional this rain
fall is may be gathered from the fact
that December last is credited with
more rainy days than the average for the
twelve years during which the Signal
Service has been here. The total rain
fall for the same month was nearly as
much as the average for the season OF
the past twelve years. January has
been quite as exceptional in the matter
of frosty nights, as December was in the
matter of rain; and the precipitation will
cum up much more than the average
for this month in a dozen years. Yet
true as all this arraignment of our climate
is, how blessed is our lot as compared with
that of dwellers in other parts of the
world. The bad weather with it's ex-
cessive rainfall and unusual cold has
resulted in making nearly the whole
population more or less sick. But this is
true of all parts of the globe, and true to
a much more alarming extent than
of this section. In all European
cities, and in all those of our own coun-
try, the mortality lists have been run up
to frightful figures because of unsesson-
able weather of one sort of other. Nor
has this Coast az all escaped this vista
ton. The mortality reported from San
Francisco q week ago was appalling.
Now in Los Angeles, while the weather

our state a Prey 10 Aduiterators.

Our state Prey TO AdutteratOrs.
The curse of California is the adultera-
ton of nearly everything she produces.
Our wines are doctored and falsely
labeled with French brands to an extent
that almost crushes our own juices out OF
sight. Go to frst-class hotels at the
East and call for California wine and you
are told they do not keep it. Call for q
high-cost French brand and the chances
are ten to one you will get bottle of
California wine with French label upon
il, all put up here. Go to an Eastern
grocer's and you will see nicely
labeled bottles purportiDg to be
California olive oil. In nine
cases out of ten it is simply cotton-seed or
peanut oil that has been doctored and
put up either in San Francisco or
Chicago. Everything that can possibly
be counterfeited is palmed off upon the
consumer for the genuine California
article. The injury that this widespread
manufacture of spurious articles is work
ing to our State is incalculable. We had
supposed that California honey had
escaped the manipulation of the adul
terators, and that its chespness would
preserve it's purity in the markets
But we find that we were greatly
mistaken, and that California" honey
made out of glucose, with mere touch
of genuine comb honey to each bottle, ii
put up in immense quantities in this city
and shipped East. Glucose is imported
here from Chicago by the barrel, and re-
turned put up in bottles labeled as "Purt
California Strained Honey" This is no
quite as hard on the consumers as soms
of the "golden syrups" sent here from
the East made out of old rags; but it il
gross imposition upon those who buy it
and serious injury to the people on this
Coast engaged in apiculture. The
reputation of California honey was
made years ago. The pure article was
shipped in quantities all over the world
and at once asserted its claim to super
excellence. Now the adulterators have
gone largely into the business OF gluttine
the markets with spurious article, ant
We shall soon find that the favorable
reputation our honey had honestly
earned years ago has been forfeited by
these villainous practices. The law can
be made to reach these men. Organize
tion for detective purposes of the bee men
would soon bring their nefarious business
to an end. We cannot see why there
should be striped clothes for wretches who
counterfeit money and not the same gar.
ments for those who counterfeit ou,
products and poison the public.

City Charters and the Supreme
Court


A Chief Justice and three Associate
Justices of the Supreme Court are to be
elected this year. The new members
will constitute a majority of the bench
and it will stand the people in hand to
take more than ordinary interest in
selecting candidates to fill these very
Important positions. Supreme Ocurt
decisions are giving rs constant sur
prizes, and interpretations are given
provisions of the Constitution which no.
body ever dreamed that they meant.
Take for instance that part of the Con-
stitution which authorizes cities to make
and adopt their own charters. The only
check that was laid upon the local
sovereignty of the people in this
matter was that the charter as
a whole should receive the approval
of the Legislature. Everybody sup
posed that this ended the power of the
Legislature in the premises, and that the
charter thus adopted and ratified would
be the law of the city. But the Supreme
Court has come in and upset all this by
Interpreting that provision in the Censti-
tuition which requires that all city char
ters should conform to the general laws
Of the State, to mean that no charter, or
portion of any charter, can conflict with
any general law on the statute book at
the time of its adoption, or that may be
enacted subsequent to it's adoption. This
Interpretation naturally hands the cities
over to the Legislature, which can pass
any law it pleases and make it apply to
cities. The Vrooman act is case in
point. That act wipes out the entire
system adopted in our charter to regulate
street work, and compels us to conform
to an act which may be suited to one
city and not to another. In this way q
city charter can be legislated out Of ex.
istence piece meal. The Constitutional
Convention certainly never contemplated
any such reductio ad ebsurdum OF their
labors in this respect. Their object
was to enable each city to adopt charter
that would be suited to it's peculiar ex-
igencies and situation, and to act under
it. 1t was carrying out the idea of pop
ular sovereignty in municipal affairs, and
bringing government as near to the
people governed as possible. But the
Supreme Court has split the infnitesimal
hair Of Judicial construction in defining
away q plain intention, and lodging the
power Of municipal legislation in the
Legislature, exactly the body which the

to add prayer to every mass and to the

THERE have been various estimates
made of the orange crop this year, but
in mcet cases they were guess-work. A
Southern Pacific railroad official who
was specially detailed to get at the facts
with reference to this years crop SO that
the company could make intelligent
preparation for its transportation, gave a
San Francisco paper the reeult Of his in
vestigation. from which it appears that
not less than $500 carloads will be
shipped. He says:
"Our crop estimate for the coming
season shows that We shall have to trans
port not less than $500 carloads o.
oranges from Los Angeles, San Bernar-
dino and San Diego counties, and that
means two and half million dollars for
the growers. The crops are little
lighter this year; but the increased area
of land under citrus cultivation more
than makes up the loss, from our point
of view, and The frosts of the last fort
night have done 10 perceptiole damage
to the oranges"
1t should be noted that many orchards
are only just recovering from the effect
of the white scale pest, and will not re.
turn to their usual bearing capacity till
next season. By that time the affected
trees will be entirely restored and will
produce full crops. The increase from
this source and from the young trees
that will then come into bearing will
make next seasons crop at least so pei
cent. greater than this seasons, so that
it will require about 5000 cars to move
it. But the yield this season is very sat.
isfactory and far greater than the most
sanguine could have anticipated six
months ago.
