THE abandoned cable road on Second
street has become nuisance and an eye
sore, especially between Spring and
Broadway. There is no street in the city
more travelled over than is this portion
of Second street, and the rotten planks
covering the cavity through which the
cable used to run are Liable at any time to
break through and ruin valuable horse,
and perhaps cause some more serious
accident. Indeed the planks are broken
through at various points already. No
city in the union would allow nuisance
of this kind to continue for week after
the road had been shut down, but here
we have allowed it to remain in one OF
our busiest streets for nearly year. We
call upon the council to take immediate
action to suppress this dangerous nui-
sance. 1t may be the cause of an acci-
dent at any time, and the city be held
responsible in heavy damages for it.

THE CENSUS A FARCE.

The census of the city of Los Angeles,
which is now being taken, will be an un-
mitigated farce, and it will in no sense
represent correctly either our popula-
tion or resources. In the first place, the
right time for the taking of the census,
as the HERALD as heretofore pointed
out, would have been a month earlier,
before our people had hied them to the
mountain and seaside. Ten thousand
people are probably now out OF
town at various resorts of pleasure
and health. In the second place, the
remuneration of the census-takers is
grossly insufficient. Instead of paying
these officials three dollars a day, or
some round sum, and giving them two
weeks for the task-a brief enough
period-they receive only two cents a
name, and are compelled to hurry
through their work within week,
necessarily sighting it. 1t is morally
certain that many enumerators, having
gone up one side of street and
down the other, in many cases
finding the occupants of houses
intelligent answer-will not go back
again for two cents. The superintendent
of the census here, Mr.. L. f. Mosher,
found it difficult to get an allowance of
$75 for clerk hire. Having applied for
10000 blanks of description in great
demand, he got 27,000 Every day he
receives stack of letters from subor-
dinates that would require couple of
typewriters to answer.
On the desert the census enumerators
receive Sc day. including the hire for
horse and vehicle, and maintenance for
beast and man. Their supply of blanks
is also insufficient. Is it likely that
these men will double on their tracks to
secure such information as they may
have missed on a first call?
The writer was in a company of half
a dozen gentlemen yesterday, not one of
whom had yet been approached by the
census enumerator. There is still four
days, it is true, but with the best efforts
many persons are certain to be missed
in every street of the city.
An excellent idea for those who desire
to figure in the census is to go to the
office of Superintendent Mosher, fill out
a blank and leave it for the enumerator
when he calls. Such practice would
bring the census more nearly up to the
contemplation of the law.
Perhaps the most disappointing fea-
ture of the whole business will be in the
beggarly account OF the resources Of Los
Angeles county. The blanks intended
to elicit this class of facts have been
very meagerly distributed. and the re-
suit will necessarily be fragmentary and
futile.
If the provisions for taking the census
of the United States have been as in
efficient and bungling as here it will be
in>no sense a compendium either of the
population or resources of this country.
We hope that better system has pre-
vailed elsewhere. The whole thing is
inherently faulty.

CENSUS CURIOSITIES,

The American Woman on Her Reserved
Rights-She Declines to Be Bulldozed.
An Accommodating Census Enumer-
ator.
Whatever deficiencies may be reported
of the census, and they are many, it is
not deficient in humorous incidents.
An episode which occurred at one of our
leading hotels yesterday illustrates this
popularity.
Dramatis persona: Buxom widow and
census-taker.
umerator-Madam, l have few
questions to ask you which l hope you
will not find offensive. In the first
place, please give me your name, place
of birth, the nativity of your parents,
the number of your children, your
age
Buxom Widow-I'll give you nothing
of the kind, sir. l am an American
woman, and stand on my rights.
You can save your breath asking me
questions. | won't answer one OF them,
and that's flat.
Enumerator-But, my dear lady, the
law is positive in this matter. You
must answer these questions.
Buxom Widow-A fig for your law
There is no power to compel me to
answer your trumpery questions.
Enumerator-My dear madam, please
Just be reasonable. | shall call again
this evening, and meanwhile l hope you
will consult with your friends. 1t would
be very unpleasant for me to order your
arrest.
Buxom Widow-You can come back
or stay away, at your pleasure, but if
you think you can get any answers to
your questions out of me you are mis-
taken. Arrest me as soon as you like.
A fig for your census.
The enumerator OF course left.
Whether, for the consideration Of two
cents, he will return to this plucky
woman and incarcerate her behind pri-
son bars is exceedingly doubtful.
One OF the wisest of the census-takers
has adopted different course. When
ever he comes to refractory female he
ascertains her name from neighbor
and proceeds to fill in the answers him
self. He gives the following explanation
of this eccentric but highly practical
procedure: whenever | meet an OBJ
stinate woman know that it means an
interminable delay. l am man of
family and consider that it is my duty
to earn from So to $4 day. OF course,
can't indulge in any foolishness. lean
size woman up pretty well, and Pm
an expert at guessing ages. What's the
odds? They won't tell you their ages
any way, and my guesses are better than
their answers As to the place of their
nativity, am an expert in dialects and
can locate any woman within twenty
miles OF the place where she was born.
Sabe?'' And this man of practical ideas
moved on.

THE worst elephant any community
has ever been afflicted with is that which
is now again trying the patience OF the
people of San Francisco. The new city
hail building OF that city has, from the
time the bodies in the old Yerba Buena
cemetery were removed to make place
for its foundation, been the center of all
kinds Of jobbery. 1t is over twentyyears
since the work was commenced, and at
every stage in its construction there have
been scandals upon scandals connected
with it. But the latest development is
one that makes the public stand aghast.
1t is no less than an internal Job
to pad four-feet walls, contracted
to be built of solid brick
masonry, with two and three-quarters
feet of rubbish. These walls were to
sustain girders upon which the whole
weight of the interior of the building
was to rest, and it is needless to say that
if the rotten fact had not been dis
covered, there would have been some
day collapse in which many lives
would have paid for the fendish ras-
cality of the guilty contractors. A dis
charged workman, who had probably
helped to do the job himself, revealed
the fraud, and the walls are being
pierced in all directions with the dis
covery that the inhuman scheme is only
too true. Some signal punishment
ought to be meted out to the guilty
wretches who for a money steal would
deliberately sacrifice hundreds of inno-
cent lives

The Union Iron Works, of San Fran
cisco, have put in the lowest bid for the
S,l00-ton armored cruiser, viz. So, 100,
900. They had no competition for the
5,500-ton vessel. If the San Francisco
company should be awarded the con-
tracts to build both vessels, they will be
compelled to put an end to the iron
molders' strike which has been on in
that city for the past two months by
coming to the terms of the strikers.

Ny disease (psoriasis) first broke out on my

most covering my face. It ran into my eyes,
and the physician was afraid would lose my
eyeslght altogether. 1t spread all over my
head, and my hair all fell out, until | was
entirely bald headed: it then broke out on my
arms and shoulders, until my arms were just
one sore: 1t covered my entire body, my face,
head and shoulders being the worst. The white
scabs fell constantly from my head, shoulders
and arms the skin would thicken and be red
and very itchy, and would crack and bleed if
scratched. After spending many hundreds Of
dollars, was pronounced incurable. ] heard
