CITY AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT FOR
LOS ANGELES.

Now that several sections of the
county are showing signs of desire to
be segregated from Los Angeles and
embodied in new counties, it is not
amiss that the people of this city should
themselves give some attention to mat
ters relating to their political well-being.
Why would it not be good idea to have
a city and county government for this
city and convenient contiguous territory,
on the plan of the city and county gov
ernment of New York, and the city and
county government of San Francisco?
1t would certainly, on all grounds, be
a good idea. The people are eaten up
by the numerous officials, who are
drawing salaries as city or county Off
cials. BY whatever name these people
are called the money to pay them comes
out OF the pockets of the taxpayers
One set Of officials could readily do the
work that two sets are now paid to do.
San Francisco has found this system
to work very we'll, as has New York. If
people residing at Pomona and in other
sections of the county think they ought
to form new affiliations, why should not
the people Of Los Angeles desire to form
compact and homogeneous government
OF their own, which would enable them
to save in salaries enough money to pay
the interest on their public debt?
The change could be readily effected,
and it would be money in the pockets of
propertv-owners. The responsible lity of
local government would, by such a
change, be made more immediate and
direct. No possible drawback, outside
of the adjustment of accounts, could
exist. Our assumption of the expenses
of building the new court house would
involve some liability, but the money
saved in the abolition of an unnecess airy
set of public functionaries would pay the
interest on this debt three times over.
Why not try it?

THE debate in the senate yesterday
was more than usually interesting.
Hoar concluded his speech on the cleo
tions bill, waving the bloody shirt fran
tically. Young Senator Wolcott, of
Colorado, begged leave to differ with
older members and leaders of his party,
and opposed the force bill vigorously,
gaining the applause OF the galleries
and the Democratic side of the senate.
The Republican financial scheme was
taken up, and Senator Stewart said it
was scheme for the relief of gamblers
and spectators in silver and national
banks, and while it would benefit some
of his constituents temporarily, they
were willing to wait for free and un-
limited coinage. Reagan spoke in
favor of free coinage; also in opposition
to the elections bill and the cloture rule !;
and Teller made most vigorous attack
on his Republican colleagues for their
attempt to enforce the gag rule and pass
the elections bill, instead of solving the
great financial question which will not
down.

A DOWNWARD CAREER.
Drink and Gambling Lead to Disgrace
and Suicide.

and Suicide.
CoNLEE Cry, WASH, Dec 3O.--Walter
w. Webb, who was cashier of the North
ern Pacific Express company, at Spo-
kane Falls, from May, 1889, until last
Sunday, committed suicide here this
evening, by shooting himself through
the head. He came from Spokane Falls
last night, and played cards in saloon
till morning, losing all the money he
had. This afternoon he began
playing again on borrowed capital,
and lost $40 in two hours.
At $50 he rose from the card table and
walked out intoa back room. In less
than minute from the time he left
the saloon pistol report was heard,
and the dead body of Webb was found
in the room, lying in pool of blood.
He was released from the employ OF
the company Sunday, by Special Agent
Otto, who found Webb's accounts
crooked, Webb had been drinking
heavily the last two months and gam
bling considerably. He left Spokane
Falls Monday, arriving at this
place the same evening. Today Deputy
Sheriff kerns received telegraphic
instructions to shadow him, which he
did, and tonight Deputy Sheriff White,
OF Spokane county, accompanied by
Mr.. Otto, arrived in Conlee City to take
charge OF their prisoner. The suicide
occurred just twenty minutes before the
train arrived. Webb was a nephew of
William B. Webb, now a prominent cit
izen of Tacoma, and formerly secret ary
OF Montana, under Cleveland's admin
istration.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Opera House.


The Juch company produced Balfe's
Bohemian Girl, last night, at the Grand
There was a good deal of disappoint-
ment at the change OF programme. 1t
being the third change during the sea-
son, did not tend to make the dissatis-
faction less. The reason given was the
illness of Mr.. Rathjen, circumstance
all will regret. The house was very
small, and the opera did not run
smoothly by any means. The appear
ance was as if the company had not done
the opera very recently, and had not re-
hearsed it.
Tonight the season closes with Meyer
beers LAfricaine, neveryet given in this
city. The plot was given in the HER
AID of Monday. 1t is an interesting
story, and the music is considered very
fine. The Juch company has made
great preparations for the production
OF this opera, whose production tonight
will call out the full strength OF the
matinee, when Verdi's grand opera, II
Trovatore, will be produced, with a
strong cast.

THE PRESENT TO BE GOLDEN YEAR.

Probably at no time in the history of
Los Angeles county has a season opened
more propitious than the present. The
weather clerk is treating us to one OF the
old-time Southern California seasons =
OF the kind prior to 1SS5-upon which
our reputation for matchless winter
climate was based. The rains are scant,
but they are coming in the nick of time.
Last year they were so superabundant,
and were slapped down with such an
abandon, that the grass and grain were
actually rotted. Not only that, but the
bottom lands were so thoroughly satur-
ated with water that ploughing over ex-
tensEe areas was impossible The re-
suit was that perhaps hundred thou
sand acres either yielded very poorly or
not at all. Some timorous persons, not
ing the moderate rainfall, have been ap-
prehensive of a drought. This fear may
be dismissed as groundless. There is
such a spontaneity Of sun and soil
in Los Angeles county that
eight inches of rain, coming at
the proper times, is better than
thirty. In the days when drouth was
known in Los Angeles county, the
cupidity OF the rancheros had allowed
the sheep, cattle and horses to multiply
to an unwise extent. There were no re-
serves of fodder and grain to sustain
them, and alfalfa fields were then few
and far between. A delayed rain then
meant disaster. as the numerous herds
quickly ate up all the grass. But, even
in the year of the smallest rainfall ever
recorded in Los Angeles county, in the
season 1S16-77, when the total rainfall
was only 4.S5 inches, Mr.. Dan Freeman
raised splendid wheat and barley crops
on the Centinela rancho. This was the
more surprising becauseit was supposed
that nothing could be grown on the
Centinela. 1t had, for time whereof
the memory OF man runneth not to the
contrary, been used as a sheep range
Nevertheless. on this minimum pre-
cipitation, Mr.. Freeman's bank account
was swollen very considerably.
~ nAiA OO cPCSidl iaCO VI lONl-
dence if the rain shall this year
prove to be not over ten inches,
and the fact that all the springs
and subterranean reservoirs are filled to
repletion would make eight inches
abundant. With this comparatively
small rainfall coming opportunely the
largest crops ever recorded in Los An
geles county will be garnered.
The HERALD has no hesitation in pre-
dieting that the current year will be a
golden year for Los Angeles. An unpre-
cedented area has been already broken
by the plough. The rain of day before
yesterday was of the exact quantity to
facilitate the work of the ploughman
The scant cereal crops of several years
past has put our farmers on their
mettle. The crops already sown look
well. The grass is in capital fettle all
over the county. We have had warm,
growing weather, with no interfering
winds, and no agricultural or horticul-
tural prospect could be better. The
boom founded on production is at hand,
and the bounteous crops which will be
reaped in this year of grace will give it
fitting welcome. Make way for the
golden wear of Los Angeles!

Grafton. Nothing would content GER
tain class of our people until We had
salaried council. Few of our citizens
will now contend that the present city
council, whose term is drawing so rap
idly to close, has rendered as good or
as disinterested service to the tax
payers as many of it's predecessors whose
members served without compensation.
There are to be found in our midst citi-
zens of responsibility and executive
ability who are willing to serve the city
and county for the honor involved in
the execution of importantly public trusts.
We have all the salaried officials we
need, or that the people desire, now.
