, The manufacturing Situation.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin says
the manufacturing situation is one of en-
enlargement in nearly ell departments.
Seven new cot on goods mills are re-
ported this week; four to be erected in
the South, two IN New England and one
in the West. This certainly shows that
the prosperity of the business is not
sectional. 1t would be repetition to say
that the WOODEN manufacturing business
is looking up. Every week we have evil
dences of il in the news of mills starting
up and factories building. This week
three hitherto silent factories have
started up, several concerns have an
nOunced their intentions to erect addi-
tons to their plants, and two new mills
will be built.
In Troy, n. Y. =, the Cable fax mills
have decided to increase their capital
stock to $500 900 and establish an extern
sve plant there for weaving coarse and
medium linen fabrics. This in addition
to the linen mill now building in Miune-
apolis, will soon be putting American
linen on the market to supply the place
of the hitherto imported article. The
shoe factories continue in the same po-
sition as noted last week. They are
running busly and the companies in
many instances are increasing their
capacities.
No new factories are reported this
week, but several large ones are now
building, and then owners will soon put
their products on the market. The pa
per mills are very busy and are employ
ing large numbers of men. Never before
we're SO many new mills going up and
the confidence with which new companies
form and start i'll business Indicates that
business Is on firm foundation. This
week reports were received of the prog
ress of several large aper and pulp mills
now building, and also of the proposed
extension to several already existing
nlantS.

Trade to-day was good in all depart
ments, retail and wholesale.
The sun came out, driving to consid-
cradle extent the muddy streets, and
people were out for purchasing purposes.
The indications point to good week of
business.
All the general markets which are
supplied and depleted daily were suffi-
GENTLY supplied for the trade, though
there is good demand for all commodo-
ties, and prices are firm.
Cotton arrivals were fair to-da. and
producers found no trouble in dlspos-
ing it.

The Prince and the Pauper'' at the
Grand Opera House.

After a long period ofinnocuous desue-
tude the Grand opera house was
opened last night, when Mark Twain's
latest venture, "The Prince and the Pau,
per" was presented by Daniel Frohman's
company, with the very clever
Elsie Leslie in the principal
role, which by the way is dual one.
The play is full of interest and is very
we'll presented. Lack of space prevents
full review of the play in the HERALD.
1t will be presented for the rest of the
week, with Saturday matinee.
The highest praise that can be given an
actor is that he makes himself despised
and detested by the audience. This is
what clever Dan Gilfeather of the Prince
and Pauper does every time he is on the
stage.
Fanny Ward, of the Prince and Pau
per company, is an exceedingly pretty
girl, and she plays "Nan" excellently
WE'LL
George Lynch, the stage manager OF
the Prince and Pauper company, is a
veteran in his line. He was with Joseph
Jefferson for nine years, discovered Elsie
Leslie, put her on the stage, and has
been her dramatic mentor ever since.

KNOCKED OUT.
The Mayor Vetoes the Sunday Closing
Election.

On Monday last the city council
passed an ordinance providing for the
holding of a special election for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining the public senti-
ment on the question of Sunday closing,
which was subsequently sent to Mayor
Hazard for approval. Yesterday after
noon. however, that official returned the
ordinance to the city clerk with the fol-
lowing message, which will be presen-
ted to the council on Monday next:
To the Honorable Council of the City of Los
Angeles:
l return herewith without my approval "an
ordinance providing for the holding OF special
election for the purpose of voting upon the
question of whether or not saloons shall be
closed upon Sunday" etc.
There Is no law providing for such an ordl-
nance as this, nor would an election held in
pursuance of its terms be operative-then why
engage in an idle act? We are told, however,
city authorities, with whom the power lies to
enact the necessary law. Then this election
that is manifestly imperative and not provided
for by law is to be called simply to brace us up,
to give us the necessary stamina to do that
which we could not do without. We have all
made up our minds whether it is right or wrong
to pass the ordinance asked for. II 1T is right
why hesitate to pass the necessary ordinance
that the saloons be closed up? We have the
power and not the people. ,,
If I'M our judgment it. is wrong, should a
majority of those voting induce us to DO some
thing that we believe to be wrong? so far as
am concerned am frank to confess that have
made up my mind, and the result OF the cleo
ton will have no weight with me whatever,
even If it were an election provided Tor by law
and would therefore be participated IN by az,
when in my judgment this election would be
ignored by many because Illegal. and would
therefore not be fair expression OF public opin,
ion, and the purpose for which it is intended
would not be obtained.

malicious report published in the
Times of the 22nd inst, headed, "Why
he was ousted." The "duick and radi-
cal change" which was spoken of was as
follows: My father, Geo. Rice, resigned
June 3Oth, stating in his resignation,
COPIES of all his letters are before me as
| write) that he 'wished to enter the
newspaper business, asking the
board to "appoint his successor
as early as the business of
the Office will permit" His resigna-
tion was accepted July l, his successor
was appointed August 15, (six weeks
later, to take effect September 1. My
father is undoubtedly quarantine officer
at present and will continue so until the
time designated.
The malignant spirit of the person
who "leaked out" the lie, shows he had
an utter disregard for the truth, and do
not hesitate to pronounce him a base
fabricator of the deepest dye, and from
my acquaintance with him, | consider
him well versed in the business. As for
my fathers work in the Farmer and
Dealer, he was scrupulously careful not
to allow it to interfere in the least with
his official duties. He did not visit my
office half dozen times during his
business hours, only helping me in the
evening at our hotel, and OF course fur
nishing the capital to conduct the bus
mess. AS to the "Sixteen-year-old
boy" allow me to say, that although
not old enough to vote for Markham in
November, 1 will cast ballot in 1892.
Yours truly
IRWIN H. RICE.
SAN Francisco, August 25, 1890.
