LET US HAVE eAIErY AT THE PARK.

There is strong and daily growing
demand in Los Angeles for concerts at
the Westlake park. No city of the
pretensions OF Los Angeles should be
without public amusements. If place
is live il should that thai.
fact by being abreast of the times. Any
place is the better for a ''crack" band.
We are now felicitating ourselves on
having Seventh regiment, which we
may hope, in time, to see rival the
famous organization of that name in
New York city. AS we have the nucleus
of "a crack regiment" we can safely
say that we have the beginnings of a
crack regimental band which, if properly
encouraged, will soon not be whit be-
hind any musical organization in San
Francisco. The regular concerts ir the
Golden Gate park are a source Of peren-
nial delight and instruction to the in
habitants of that city. They are coun-
terpoise to hoodlum ruffianism. They
train to esthetic and gentle moods.
Music hath charms to soothe
the savage breast" Refinement
follows in its wake as surely
as the sun does the first rosy fushes in
the eastern heavens. We learn that
strong movement is on foot to vitalize
the project of Thursday and Sunday
concerts at the Westlake park. The
Pacific Gable road will stand in strongly,
as they should, considering that, on the
occasions of these concerts, their reve-
nues would be enormously increased.
The residents of the western portion of
the city can very well afford to do like
wise. Our merchants, hotel-keepers,
keepers, and all their pa
irons, should do the generous act. The
Westlake park, although in an uncom-
pleted shape, is rarely attractive spot.
The lake, with its boating appliances, is
a conception in which San Francisco is
Behind us. The approaches to it lead
through the most improving portions of
Los Angeles. The breezes that blow in
from old ocean are so exquisitely
tempered that any habitue of Nice
or Mentone would instantly recognize
the superiority OF the Los Angeles eli
matte staple. We are not sure but that
it would be right, also, for the city to
extend a trifiing aid to this praise
worthy enterprise. BY all means, let us
have these Sunday and Thursday con-
certs. Let us have a crack band, a
crack regiment, crack park and crack
city, and let us maintain all these de-
lightful distinctions to the crack of doom.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN BoYCoTTER.

There seems to be a great tendency of
late, in Los Angeles and elsewhere, to
indulge in the boycotting business. 1t
is really pursued as business. 1t is on
the principle of universally, and recalls
the refrain of the Barber of Seville,
Figaro here, Figaro there, Figaro every
where" The attempt of Judge Arm
strong and his coadjutor up in Sacra-
mento to stay the madness will probably
prove futile. In Los Angeles pretty
nearly everything is boycotted, including
common sense. When you get down to a
genuine boycott, there is scarcely limit
to the annoyance which may result. The
housekeeper tries to boycott the mos
quito-perhaps possible performance,
in such a beautiful climate as
California. The pretty girl tries
to boycott the flea an impos-
sible performance in any climate, with
perhaps an exception IN very low tenn
peratures. Fleas know too thoroughly
what is good for them, and obey the
injunction of St. Paul, to hold fast to
that which is good.
Three weeks ago the Los ANGELES
DAILY HERALD-considerin the dignity
of that journal we speak its name with
bated breath-was a newspaper of
eight pages, with rather sickly adver-
tising look. Two men, named Stuhr
and WWa.llid!eek W W.li!eek, started ont to hovcott it.
saying that they represented the Liquor
Dealers Association of Los Angeles.
We believe that they do not tell the
truth. But, whether or no, the people
do not like that kind OF nonsense.
We think that, as result of
this proscriptive nonsense, Democrats
will quit patronizing people like that,
who try to coerce free-born Americans,
or foreigners who have adopted the
noble notions of Americans. We feel
assured that, when respectable people
learn that these fellows have started out
to boycott the HERALD, they will not buy
drop from them. Let them alone,
Men and Brethren! The less OF the
goods of Stuhr and Waldeck you buy
the healthier and wealthier you will be
twelvemontn from now! Re5uke at
tempted tyranny! You can easily buy
the rattleberry OF the country or con-
cocted diablerie, from better and less
tyrannical men!
The HERALD believes in everybody
being his own boycotter. In this office
there is an easily revolving machine that
can boycott like house-a-fre, and don't
you forget it.
AS to the Liquor Dealers association,
the HERALD, which has never cause
lessly attacked any man, or any vested
interest, has only one word OF advice to
tender to it, and that is embodied in
the brief formula, 'Sit down on your
fools. Sit down on them with thud."
Do not allow a lot OF light-headed people
to take your name in vain.

The news that Sitting Bull has be-
come ''good Indian" will cause any
thing but mourning outside the Bad
lands. He should have been killed
years ago. The massacre of Custer and
his men was the result of his treachery,
and that great crime has never yet been
expiated. The general belief is that
this willy and blood-thirsty chief was at
the bottom of all the recent disturb
ances in the Dakotas. Had he been seized
at the start the spirit would have
been taken out of the ghost dances, and
the frontier settlers would not have

THE city attorney has reported back
the charter to the council with num-
Der of amendments which experience
has shown will work to the advantage
of the city. The amendments are
mainly in the line OF economy. 1t is
proposed to dispense with the assess
ment Of city property by the city and to
use the assessment roll of the county
assessor as the basis of municipal taxa
ton. If any difficulty should arise up
on trial of this method, it is provided
that the council shall have power to
adopt the county assessment or to have
one made out by the city tax and license
collector. 1t is also proposed to consoli-
date the Offices of treasurer, assessor and
tax collector in the latter Office. The
city attorney suggests that the city
council should have power, as board of
equalization, to raise the entire assess
ment in the event that the 81 limit
is adhered to and it should be
found insufficient to meet the de-
mands upon the city. The PROPOSE
ton to consolidate certain offices
that are mere sinecures is one that will
meet the general approval of every tax
payer. The charter has overweighted
the city with offices, and proper regard
to economy demands that many of them
should be merged in other Offices in
which there is no great pressure of work
upon the officials filling them. If the
county assessment feature is adopted
and the one dollar limit retained, emer-
gencies may arise in which it would be
convenient for the council to have the
power to raise the whole assessment.
But it should only be in cases of extreme
urgency. The dollar limit, under an
economical administration of our muni-
cipal affairs. ought to supply all the
money that is needed.

been compelled to abandon their homes
and seek safety in the garrisoned forts
and agencies. Perhaps this tragedy
may precipitate conflict with the red
skins; but there are troops enough in
the vicinity of the Badlands to sum-
marily punish any offensive movement
the Indians may undertake.

DEMOCRACY FOR ENGLAND.
The Downfall of the Present Governmen
Predicted for the Near Future.

The Downfall of the Present Government
Predicted for the Near Future.
A Pittsburger yesterday received letter
from an English relative, who is one Of the
prominent members of the English ParlIa-
ment. in which he predicts the final down.
fall of the present government and predicts
some radical and rather startling changes.
Said he: sour government has made a
mess of it this session, but if they make no
further serious blunders it will not be nec-
essary for them to dissolve, unless decency
requires it, for two or two and half years
at least. Meanwhile they have an assured
majority of about 80. My own belief is
that If neither they nor we commit some act
of folly, or perform some act of superhu-
man grandeur, that we will have majority
of at least 80 or 40, but out Of the 800 or 400
members composing it there will be at the
outside 40 moderate men. This means dis
establishment and very trying time for
everybody. Our radical friends talk of
majority of 12O, the result Of which would
or four afs wfsR hH%Re beart99 9e daTes tayse
cate, but no church, no House OF Lords and
democracy all around. don't desire dis
establishment, but do favor abolishing the
Lords"
The gentleman is rather conservative in
his own views, but he sees with precision
what the outcome will be if the majority is
as heavy as 120. As he is politician, and
wise one, he objects to having his name
used, but be is a well-known Gladstonian.

BREAD FROM sAwDUsT.

The Latest York State SwIndle Discovered
by u Drummer.
New York star.l
II have found the checklist swindle OF the
age" said George Lord to me yesterday.
Mr.. Lord is drummer, who keeps his eyes
open when out on the road, and is greatly
interested in matters pertaining to food
adulteration.
SIT is wood four" he continued. ''Flour
actually made of wood and used largely for
the purpose of adulteration. 1t was at Mt.
Pleasant, on the little Ulster and Delaware
Railroad, that first saw the mill. White
beech trees are used. The wood has no
flavor or color, and is hard and dry. The
bark is peeled of and the logs are put on a
carriage, which forces them against cut
ting machine shaped like pencil sharpen
er, except that 1t has FIVE or six knives In
stead of one. These knives revolve at the
rate of from 200 TO 800 revolutions minute,
and the log is soop cut into fine shavings.
Alter these are thoroughly dried they are
put into hopper and ground the same as
wheat or corn.
"The -four comes out as fine and fragrant as
from fine wheat, and is put in bags without
any marking on except a tag with the ad-
dress and sent to New York. Where they

workman at the mill that there is q pretty
big sale for the stuff. He said that part of
1t was used as paper stock and in the prepar-
alton of lincrusta walton. That is the os-
tensible purpose for which it is made, but
workman told me that good deal Of the
stuff went into the hands of contractors Tor
furnishing Indian rations, and that consid-
erable Of it also went into the cheap breads
sold in the Italian and Hebrew districts in
the lower part of the city,"

pany's report, we must note curious
instance Of the rapid way in which African
natives adopt English commercial habits.
The banking facilities placed within the
reach ofthe natives by the company have,
we are told, ALREADY had the effect Of
greatly increasing trade, aud of attracting
ivory and other caravans from the interior" !"
and the formation of a local bank able to
issue notes is contemplated at an early date.
We have been told on good authority that
the dusky kinglets and chiefs OF the west
coast are in the habit of opening banking
accounts in London and of drawing cheques
thereon. aud apparently the plan is taken to
as kindly in East Africa. One would have
thought that the negro or Arab who brought
down ivory to the coast would have liked to
handle his gold at once; but apparently the
security and convenience Of the cheque
system is so obvious as to be universally
recognized.
