O'Clock the senators filed into the House.
Prayer was offered by Rev. A. I. Hillnan Of
Concord. Five minutes later Speaker Upton
called the members to order. at that time
nearly every seat in the hall was filled with
members and the gallery was thronged with
spectators, attracted by the extraordinary
public exigency which required the conyen-
ing Of the legislature in special session. Mr..
Green of Hopkinton said that since the ad
journment of the House its membership had
been depleted, and in order that the question
might be properly determined he moved to
refer the subject of the qualification of mem
bers to the judiciary committee, with Instruc
tions to report within half an hour. This
was adopted: The Speaker appointed Mr

Los Angeles herald., 1890-05-09

Mr.. CHARLES A. DANA, the splenetic
and brilliant editor of the New York
Sun, is engaged just now in writing
philippics against fat men. These
articles are intended for the special be-
hoof and benefit OF ex-President Cleve-
land, who possesses a respectable degree
OF avoirdupois. AS a matter of fact,
Dana does not himself belong to the lean
and hungry Cassius kind, and he re-
joices in feeble allotment of adipose
tissue. He is probably jealous because
he can't raise bay window of the
generous dimensions of the ex-president.
Dana's own particular cronies are fat
men. Angelef1os will remember his visit
to Los Angeles some years ago. On that
occasion his compagnons de uoyage were
Judge David Davis, of Illinois, and ex-
Governor Dorsheimer, of New York,
probably the two fattest men in America.
He seemed to be entirely happy in his
company on that occasion, and nothing
would have pleased him better then than
to have seen Davis nominated for presi-
dent. 1t is not the bulk of the ex-presi-
dent that excites Mr.. Dana's ire. We
do not know what the hidden cause of
that enmity is; but, with the recollec-
tion of Dorsheimer and Davis before us,
we know adipose tissue has nothing to
do with it.

AMONGST a certain class of evil-minde,

AMONGST certain class of evil-minded
people there seems to be doubt of the
right OF the proprietor of a newspaper to
keep private memorandum of the stock
transactions of his journal. There APP
pears to be an invidious discrimination
against one gentleman in particular in
Los Angeles, whose martial figure and
comely lineaments may, perchance,
have excited the envy of those of the
newspaper guild who were not so highly
favored with the endowment of personal
beauty. A notebook, which can
be whipped OUT suddenly, and
in which entries of transac-
tions, real or supposititious, can
be made quickly, would, to disin-
terested person, seem like proper por-
ton of the equipment of the modern
newspaper man who is au courant with
the opportunities for gain afforded by his
profession. There is the authority of
the venerable Mr.. Marriott, the founder
OF the Newsletter, for this practice, and
surely, in face of such precedent, cavil
is silenced! In the days when this de-
ceased bebdomadal journalist fourished
he kept, in some obscure attic
in Tar Flat, or in some one of the
numerous chambers of his brain, an
instrument which he called the
Eroplane-a machine which was in
tended to cleave the circumambient air
and wing its way to empyrean heights,
or otherwise dispose of itself in space.
Like the Kelley motor, this magic ma
chine was invisible to the vulgar eye.
No man was permitted to look at the
original or model of 1t. But its shares
were to be had. Whenever any aspir-
ing politician raised his head above the
level OF his fellows he was waited upon
by the venerable Mr.. Marriott; and
the superlative merits of the air.
cleaver, which was to discount
the flights of the herald Mercury
were duly explained, and the victim OF
ambitions delusive wiles was invited to
take stock in it. If he complied, well
and good. He was lauded as an embryo
statesman certain to achieve distinction.
Ii he declined to pungle, however, he
soon found, through the medium OF the
Neacs-Letter, what a contemptible, can
tankerous and no account "cuss" he
was. Yet the venerable Marriott went
down to the grave unwept, unhonored
and unsung, his only mourner being the
Eroplane, which has never been heard
of since.

THE city attorney, on the point raised
by Hon. E. F. Spence, has decided that
the council is not obliged to take any
action towards the relief of Treasurer
Johnson's bondsmen in case the
municipal moneys should go where they
belong. To man up tree the issue
thus raised would look very fanciful. If
the council, in response to plain
dictate of the city charter, instructs the
city treasurer to pay over the city's
moneys to the City Bank, they exchange
bond of $150,0O0, the sum
in which Mr.. Johnson's sureties are
held, for a good and approved
bond of $500, 200, which the City Bank
is ready to offer. Thus the security to
the people is increased more than three
fold. and the sureties of Treasurer John
son are released under the charter the
moment the city's. moneys are passed
over to the custodian appointed by law.
The struggle for the wrong has been OBJ
stinate and protracted; but right, like
truth, of which it is a correlation, is
bound to ultimately prevail.

That Los Angeles is pre-eminently the
land of flowers few can doubt who care
to give the matter any attention. The
late flower festival, if any evidence had
been needed, would have set that mat
ter at rest forever. But there are inter-
esting peculiarities of floral growth here
which few fasteners would believe un-
less on personal inspection. The spec
tacle is by no means unusual in Los An
gees to see heliotropes trained over the
second and third stories of houses. The
oleander here becomes tree as large, in
many cases, as an apple tree in
the east. A Pasadena journal, the
other day, stated that Mr.. Charles H.
Richardson, one of the bug inspectors,
resident at that place, had four different
varieties Of roses budded on single
stalk. That Of itself would be interest

AN 1soIDIsNr occurred IN the council
yesterday, near the close of its pro-
ceedings, between a hard-working mem
ber of the newspaper corps and City
Clerk Teed, in which the pencil-pusher
was entirely in the right. The reporte r
of the Euening Express had ventured to
make some remarks upon the singularity
of the return to Mr. A. NJ. Austin of his
certified check before the final approval
of his bond. The reporter thought it
was strange, and so does the public.
That was certainly most unusual
and indefensible way of conduct
ing the city's business, and the
reporter had a perfect right to say so.
For exercising this unquestioned right
the reporters matter was called ''rot, l."
by the city clerk, offensive language
in nowise justified in the premises. For
tunately Mr.. Austin returned the check,
which was for $500, and he loses that
amount, together with the work already
done on the sewer of the Arroyo de los
Reyes. Still, business is business" as
Sam'l of Posen says, and certified checks
should be held on to till they can be
safely relinquished.

WITH nearly two thousand precinct
democratic clubs in San Francisco the
campaign, at this early stage, would
look to be in quite healthy state. 1t
has been years since there has been such
certainty OF victory amongst the democ-
racy OF the Golden Gate as prevails
there now. The club organization
throughout the state at large is in fine
state of forwardness. The republicans
themselves give up the fight in advance,
thus rendering democratic confidence
easy and justifiable.
