A RECOUNT SHOULD BE HAD.

Without desiring to throw any censure
upon the census officials we have no
hesitation in saying that the count re-
Gently made in this city does not give
the full volume of our population. Oak
land, by raising shrill protest, sue
ceeded in getting recount, which in
creases her population to $4,000, and,
the telegraph adds, "some hundreds"
OF course the "some hundreds" are
held in mysterious reserve with the
view of going an odd hundred better
on Los Angeles. There was no reason
for revised count in Oakland that does
not apply with redoubled force to Los
Angeles. In the first place, this city
covers an area of thirty-six square
miles, and much of it is sparsely built
1t is an unquestionable fact that some
of the enumerators neglected their du-
ties. At the insufficient compensation
of two cents a name it is exceedingly
improbable that a household once
time. San Diego also made an outcry,
and, as result, very material ad-
dition was made to the population of
that city. What is the matter with our
people? Why not demand a recount
here. There is fine opening for the
chamber of commerce and board of
trade in this connection. An energetic
demand for a recount made by them
would doubtless be as readily responded
to by the census bureau as in the cases
of Oakland, San Diego and many other
places. This is probably one OF those
cases in which the scriptural proposition,
s'Ask and you shall receive" will hold
good,
That fraction over fifty thousand
souls covers the population of Los Ange-
les no one in his senses will believe.
The census as taken shows a remark
able equality between the population of
the city and county. The regis
tation for 1864 new one
showed that there were $4,000
qualified voters in the county. At an
ordinary ratio, say five to one, this
would give population at that time of
one hundred and sixty-fve thousand for
the county. That the population has
not materially decreased since then is
shown by the figures of the school cen
sus, as in 1888 there were q ,250 school
children between the ages of and IL
years, in 1889 there were 27 ,779, and in
1890 there were 27,4S9, treating Orange
county as part of Los Angeles for the
purposes of comparison. There is ap-
parent here but trifing falling off. On
the basis of five inhabitants to the child
between 2 and II, including the chill
dren in the multiplier, this would show
a population OF III, 800 in the county of
Los Angeles, giving Orange county her
twenty thousand. That is about the
correct figure. Dividing it by two the
city of Los Angeles should have figured
with a population of $3.50, and these
figures would, in reality, be under
rather than over the mark.

LIGHT ON A DARK SUBJECT.

Ever since the demonetization of silver
we have been told that any attempt to
coin that metal in considerable quanti-
ties would result in financial disaster,
and that its first effects would be to
cause European nations to dump their
supply of it in the United States
Vivid pictures were drawn of the neces-
sity which would shortly exist for the
building of enormous storehouses at
Washington in which to keep the con-
stantly accommodating piles of the dis
credited metal. AS a matter of fact,
Secretary Windom's first proposals for
the purchase of the stipulated 100000
ounces monthly have been preceded by
an extraordinary demand for silver from
London. The indications are, the way
things are going, that the voluntary ten
ders to the secretary will be
few and far between, and that
that official will be obliged to go into
the market and bid for the amount
which, by the law, he is obliged to
buy monthly. When the condition Of
things financial arises we shall then
know something about the real value Of
silver. Day by day it has gone mount
ing the golden stair until, as the indica-
tions point out, it will soon be at a

A JULY SPECTACLE IN THE SKY.
Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Mars and Jupiter.
What May be Seen With a Glass.

Five OF the earth's sister planets.
Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Mars and
Jupiter, are now visible in the evening
They are strung through the sky from
west to east, Venus setting lust as
Jupiter is rising, and the others being
scattered along the arch of the zodiac
between the two which terminate the
line. 1t is at present a doubtful contest
between Jupiter and Venus for the first
place in briiliancy, but in few weeks
Venus, which is approaching the earth
and consequently growing brighter, will
have become incontestably brighter than
her gigantic rival.
Saturn is only some twelve or fifteen
degrees from Venus, near the star Reg
ulus in Leo, and is not a conspicuous
phenomenon in the presence of his bril-
liant sister.
Uranus is quite near the bright star
Spica, in Virgo, and although visible to
a sharp eye without optical aid, should
be looked for with the help of an opera
glass and planisphere or star map, on
which its position among the neighbor-
ing small stars has been jotted down.
Mars is in the singular constellation
of Scorpio, whose long-winding assem-
blage of stars may be seen just in the
south about O'Clock. Mars is not quite
so bright as Venus, and its ruddy color
will readily serve to distinguish it.
Jupiter is far over in the east in the
constellation Capricornus, and does not
get well clear of the mists of the horizon
before about 10 o'clock. When it is
risen sufficiently high and the air is
clear, good field glass easily shows its
four moons, which appear as tiny specks
of light almost swallowed up in the glare
of the great planet. Ii the observer does
should not conclude that his glass is in
capable of seeing them. They may be
too close to the planet, and some OF
them may be, at the time, in eclipse
from Jupiter's shadow, or in the act of
passing either behind or in front of the
planet. Their motions are so rapid
that considerable change in their rela-
tive positions may be witnessed in the
course OF an evening.
1t will be found a very interesting oc-
cupation by the way, to take an opera
glass and beginning with good look at
Venus before she sets, follow the line of
the Zodiac, along which the planets line,
over into the east, where Jupiter is
rising. The observer will pass across
the consultations of Leo, Virgo,
Libra, Scorpio and sagittarius and
into Capricornus, beholding some
of the richest scenery in the
starry heavens. This is particularly
true of Scorpio and Sagittarius, where
the broad stream of the Milky Way is
crossed. Here some of the finest
star clusters and star swarms may be
seen, and powerful glass will reveal an
amazing amount of detail, where the
stars are bedded like silvery banks of
pebbles.- n. Y. Sun.

THE ENGLISH GOLFERS.
They Lead a Hard Life but Are Not
Without Their Pleasures.

At 2 O'Clock the men of the afternoon
shift called for their lamps, 900 of which,
lighted, locked and numbered, stand
ready round the lamp house walls. As
they troop up to the window shouting
their numbers some idea may be formed
of the main element in the community.
The first thing which strikes stranger
is that colliers have nc youth. There
are young boys with round merry faces,
but there are no youths.
They seem to become men suddenly.
with deep lines about the brow and
mouth, which suggest the idea of nerv-
Gus overstrain. Their voices, too, are
harsh and irritable. No doubt the
strained look may be due in part to the
long hours of work in dim, imperfect
light; but the same appearance may be
noted on the faces OF most of the work
men in northern industrial communi-
ties where payment is by piece work and
not weekly wage. Ii the collier loses
his youth he is not compensated by
length of years. Very few old men are
to be seen among them. They break up
when still apparently vigorous.
Perhaps this is fortunate among a
class that does not save, and gives the
weekly contributions which provide an
annuity in old age to swell the union
funds. But though voice and features
show that his work is telling upon him,
the collier is far from admitting this to
himself Except in strike times, when
it is necessary to appeal to public SYM
pathy, he wants no commiseration for
his lot. For the agricultural laborers
round him he has boundless CONTEMPT.
As member of an organized body, he
has good many pleasures to which
they are strangers.
Work over, after an excellent meal he
strolls to his club, there to play baga-
telle or billiards, bet on horse races or
hear the news. On Sunday he can 90
to the handsome church built by the
colliery owners, or, if he prefers it,
spend an agreeable morning in dog rae
ing or rabbit coursing. These last are
very popular amusements, as they afford
plenty of scope for betting and gambling,
the curse of the north country indus
trial villages. Moreover, there is a good
cricket ground, which is much patron
lied on summer evenings.
Occasionally a huge excursion is
organized to some distant watering
place, where the men and their wives
sit on the parade or enjoy the novel
pleasure of sail. But mental improve
ment is difficult in community where
all the members are of one class.-fLon-
don Spectator.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-08-04

THOSE who fail to see in the attitude
taken by Blaine on the Mckinley tariff
bill the beginning of conflict inside the
protectionist ranks that is at once ire
pressible and impossible of accommoda-
ton, know little about the way in which
great schisms grow up in parties. Be-
tween the increasing determination of a
large section of the people to extend the
markets abroad for American goods and
the obstinacy of the monopolists who
are enriching themselves from high pro-
lection, a great wedge OF public opinion
will be forced, and the result will be
that the monopolists who profit by
war tariff in time of peace will be
pushed TO the wall. High protection
and the spread of American commerce
are incompatible. Both cannot exist
together, and an unnatural system of
taxation cannot be continued after the
discordant and antagonistic interests
which have rendered it possible have
commenced to disintegrate. Blaine has
placed his little crowbar under the
crazy war-tarif monument, and it is only
aquestion of time .wheni it will topple to
it's fall.
