PORTLAND, Sacramento, Stockton, San
Jose and other Pacific coast cities have
secured the passage of appropriations for
public buildings through the house. A
batch of them have already been passed
this session. The only city of impor-
tance which receives no consideration on
this score is Los Angeles. Verify, Gen
eral Vandever has made representative
whom it would have paid the district to
have kept at home. The vitrified sewer
pipe on Main and Winston streets is
perhaps the most abortive attempt at a
public building for a city of this size
ever seen III the United States. 1t faces
our people as ruin. or a razee that had
got into strange waters and had her
top daylights shot out of her. Such a
building, if completed, might be ample
for the federal business of Milpitas or
Coon Hollow; but for city like Los
Angeles it is a roaring farce or blazing
insult to offer it to us.

THE manifesto of the Irish envoys to
the United States, reads like the thren-
ody of great and lost cause. 1t is
manifest they realize that Parnell has
wrecked their hopes and blasted the
prospects of home rule. He has placed
self above patriotism and ruined in a
few days the magnificent fabric which it
has taken many years to erect. He has
initiated the desperate act OF Erostratus,
and applied the torch of destruction to
the temple of Irish liberty. The envoys
despair OF securing any adequate supply
of funds from America as long as Par
nell is determined to divide and distract
the Irish people and abuse the English
friends of home rule. The outlook is
indeed gloomy one for cause that
was on the eve OF achieving one of the
most signal triumphs in the history Of
modern national politics.

THE HERALD today is able to lay be-
fore its readers carefully prepared ex-
hibit OF the revenue derived this year
from the sale Of the walnut crops at Ri
vera. 1t is most fascinating showing
OF the profits from this branch of horti-
culture. In brief it is that about 20 per-
sons, all within circle whose radius is
only three miles, obtain about $50, 900
for their crops of walnuts. The abso-
lutte acreage was not obtainable; but it
probably does not exceed 800 acres all
told. And the beauty OF the story is,
that the people who receive these hand
some sums of money from their farms
of five acres each, of walnuts, will be
paid as much more within the
next few weeks for the Or
anges obtained from similarly small
bits of ground. Be it borne in mind
that the labor Of caring for these or
chards is very small, nor does it cost
much to buy the land ard set the trees.
An offer was made yesterday on the
streets to sell 100 acres of this land at
$3.50 per acre, to plant the ground to the
best varieties of walnut trees and take
care of the orchard for three years; the
whole cost to be covered by the price
named, $3.50 per acre. The trees will
begin to bear after that period, and bear
well at the end OF two more years.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1s, 1890.
PROF. KoCHS DISCOVERY.

Nothing has go excited the medical
world in this century as the discovery
by DR.. Koch of preparation which the
learned professor believes will cure COLI
sumption in its early stages. So large a
percentage of the human family is af-
fiicted with weak lungs that the interest
in the experiments now going on in Ber-
lin is more widespread and intense than
would follow on the discovery of cure
for perhaps any other single ailment
mankind is afflicted with. Berlin is
crowded with doctors from all parts of
the world to enlighten themselves upon
the new treatment and its effects; and
inyalids with lung troubles have tiocked
to the German capital in the hope of re-
ceiving the benefits of the new discovery
at the earliest possible moment.
All accounts agree that notwithstand-
ing the very encouraging developments
in the clinical experiments made, yet
time enough has not elapsed to enable
the discoverer to speak with any alb
solute degree of certainty upon the cur
atiye effects OF the new treatment. AT
the city hospital in Berlin, which has
been designated as the central station
for Koch's method, the director, DIR.
Guttmann, has set apart ninety beds for
cases to be treated by incubation, and
DIR. Koch goes there personally to wit
ness the results. Very exact graphical
records are kept, showing the various
symptoms of the stage of reaction, and
also of the number of tubercle bacilli in
the expectoration, which is examined
daily by Professor Ehrlech, who has
taken charge of the archaeological lab
oratory. There Director Guttmann
demonstrates great many cases daily,
and his observations coincide with those
of physicians at other experimental hos
pital stations in Berlin in every particu'
lar.
From this it may be seen that the
state of affairs concerning this work and
its clinical features is simply that OF
gradual accumulation of experience and
knowledge, and the opinion is very
general that visiting physicians will be
able to see and learn much more three
months hence than now. American
patients should certainly be discouraged
from rushing to Berlin, especially since
the treatment will be brought here as
soon as practicable, but above all be-
cause nothing as yet is certain or settled
as to the results.
From all that has been thus far ascer
tanned, the medical world is encouraged
to hope that Professor Koch has made 6
great discovery, which will yet prove to
be of inestimable value to the human
family. Yet in this experimental stage
of the treatment, it would not be wist
for the public mind to 60 far beyond the
results as they are ascertained by the
careful experiments of the discoverel
and his able corps OF assistants.

RAZORS IN THE AIR.
Three Men Injured in Melee Near the
Arcade

f1fCdue.
Yesterday afternoon some tramps
were amusing themselves by picking
oranges near the Arcade depot, when a
couple of young negroes attracted their
attention. One OF the gang threw an
orange at the nearer of the two. The
negro picked up couple of stones, ad-
vanced towards one of the gang. who
was dubbed Shorty. and hurled one of
the stones at him, striking him on the
head. The blow stunned Shorty, who
fell to the ground in heap. AS he fell,
his right foot became jammed in frog
on the railroad track, and his leg
was broken just above the ankle.
Billy Pheian and Jim Lawson, two of
the tramps, soon overlook the negro,
who turned like stag at bay and
attacked his pursuers with razor blade,
and he succeeded in breaking away
from them after cutting one in the leg
and the other on the hand. Shorty"
was then conveyed to the receiving hos
pital, where he was recognized as Thos
O'Hara, an old-timer. The negro who
caused all the trouble is known as Billy
Whitesides and resides at Boyle Heights,
but he had evaded arrest up to late
hour last night.

REFORM YOUR METHODS.

We have on several occasions drawn
attention to the report of the commits
sioners appointed to adjust the accounts
between Los Angeles and Orange count
les. 1t was shown in that report that
there is not, nor has there ever been,
any business-like system of keeping the
records of this county. The commits
sioners were obliged to collect their
data item by item through the meagre
minutes of the proceedings of the board
for many years, and to get hint here
and there from the reports of the various
county treasurers.
This slip-shod and indefensible
method of keeping the records of the
county's business is continued to this
day, go that hereafter, whoever wants to
find out the details of our financial tran
sactions will have to wade through a
mountain of data in order to do so. 1t is
not to the credit of great city like Los
Angeles that her bookkeeping has been
80 shamefully neglected, and we hope
that the board of supervisors, when re-
organized with the newly-elected MEM
bers, will make a thorough investiga-
ton into the slip-shod system now pur-
sued and effect a complete reform.
The auditors department, if it were
conducted as it should be, would show
at glance how any account stood, and
it is inconceivable that business men
men in their own affairs accurate
and methodical-could have permitted
the business of the county to have been
run for years at such loose ends. 1t is
time, however. that new and business
like departure should be taken, so that
the taxpayers may in future know ex-
actly what property the county owns,
what has been the cost OF her public
buildings, bridges, roads, etc., what
moneys have been paid out and what
for; in fact complete record OF every
transaction in which the county is
directly or indirectly interested.

The special congressional committee
to make a report on the Chinese situa-
ton ON this coast will be in session here
for few days. Their especial attention
ought to be called to the federal build
ing started on Main street. 1t will be
we'll to have somebody on the floor OF
the house to testify to the fact that the
government has been egregiously de-
ceived in this federal building business.
OF course the committee need only to
see the abortion to realize at once that
Los Angeles ought to have a public edi-
flee very different from the one started.
AS we have no representative in the
house to look after our interests, we
must depend upon impartial strangers
to set our case in proper light before
that body.

THE SANTA FE MAP.

The Santa Fe route has put out new
map of Southern California that pre-
sents in really attractive view the semi
tropics. 1t has been carefully revised
by the skilled hand of Major Ben Tru-
man, and includes the territory south OF
the mountains to San Diego. The show
ing it makes of the railroad connections
of Los Angeles is very significant
affair. All the ramifcations of the roads
as they radiate from the city are given
with close attention to detail. The
Ballona and Redondo branches show
where our interests touch upon the
ocean, indicating our facilities for coast
wise and foreign commerce. The
Belt line that encircles that matchless
stretch of territory lying south and east
of this city, out by Rivera, Fullerton,
Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, South
Riverside, Riverside, Cotton, San Ber-
nardino and back to this city by Onta-
rio, Pomona, the Azusa valley, Duarte,
Monrovia and Pasadena, is portrayed.
The Surf line to San Diego indicates
one of the most charming rides in
all the railroad developments of the age.
There is the inland line from San Ber-
nardino to the same terminal, which
taps the country around Perris and
Temecula, with the branch to San ia
cinto.
San Bernardino is shown to be rail-
road center worthy of attention. The
main line from the east comes down
through the Cajon pass, and there is the
Belt line encircling the most fertile dis
trict around that city. This embraces
Redlands, Alessandro and the vicin-
tiles where there is now so great a
development in orange growing. When
the cornerstone of the new asylum is
laid next Monday train will be run on
this, although there is some temporary
suspension of work on the line, owing
to excessive demands for rights of way.
Incidental to the map proper is
goodly amount of well selected letter
press, giving important information

SENATOR VEST laid Dolph, of Oregon,
fiat yesterday in the senate, when law
of that state was read in which it is
provided that only white labor shall be
employed on certain public works. He
said whatever political privileges may
be denied an individual negro at the
hands of some individual white man
acting illegally, no southern state has
ever by statute provided denied the
negro the right to earn his bread.
