OFFICE OF SUPERVISOR OF CENSUS, !
FIFTH DISTRICT OF CALIFoRNIA.(

Los Angeles, June %, 1890.
EDITORS HERALD-I notice an edi-
torial paragraph in your issue of Sun
day (the 23d) in which mention is made
that there is an entire block or street in
the city which an enumerator has not
visited. 1t is possible that this is in one
Of the uncompleted city districts which
it was necessary to grant an extension
of time for finishing the enumeration in,
but l would be very glad if you would
say where it is that / may investigate
and get the population duly enumerated
in case it is found that any enumerator
has been remiss in his work. You also
speak of restaurant in which there
are sixteen persons not enumerated. If
| can get the name Of this restaurant |
will send clerk there and get the
names, but it is more than likely they
have been counted "where they Sleep"
which is where the census must be
taken. | enclose copy OF the census
law and beg to invite your attention to
section of the same. This makes it
lawful for an enumerator to get names
and such information as he can from
landlords, neighbors and others, so that
many times when persons think they
have been missed they have in reality
been taken, and as population is the vi
tai point, the various questions on the
schedules are not in every instance alb
solutely answered correctly. l find in
the case of persons writing to or calling
on me about having not been visited by
an enumerator, that in nearly every
case thoir IA aa,'aoo aro On the schedules in
my office. | am very anxious to get an
accurate census, and any aid you can
render in that direction will be highly
appreciated by

IT'S, very Truly,
l.. E. MosHER,
Supervisor of Census

We take great pleasure in giving Mr.
Mosher the information asked for in the
foregoing. One of the streets which had
been altogether sighted when we wrote
was Glover street, East Los Angeles.
The restaurant we referred to was Jerry
Illich's, although some days have passed
and his employees may since have been
enumerated. OF course, as Mr.. Mosher
suggests, they may have been caught by
the census taker from information de-
rived from neighbors, which is permissi-
BILE under the law. We will add an in
stance which has come under our OBJ
servation. DR.. Ainsworth lives at the
Hotel Westminster and has an office in
the Hollenbeck The enumerator took
the name of his partner, DR.. Lasher,
and refused to take that of DIR. A.
because the latter did not live in the
Hollenbeck. At the Hotel Westminster
the enumerator declined to take the
name of the doctor because he said his
duty was to confne his list to the pro-
prietor and employees of the hotel

Over the Tea Cups. By Oliver Wendell

brews his tea with water from the Fountain
Of Youth. His Dictator of the evening sym
postum over the cheering cup, does not ap-
pear so very much the senior of those who
preceded him in the dynasty Of the dining
room-the Autocrat, the Professor and the
Poet. He complains tri1e of years and their
limitations, as fine old age is wont to do, in
order to hear the affectionate truths which
answer and dispel these doubts and depreca-
tions. He falls into the leisurely evening
mood that belongs to 'tea-cup time" and
discourses Of many things, in the desultory.
yet subtly connected fashion to which he
has accustomed us. Peculiarly touching Is
his meditation upon old age, sober, optimis

show that opportunity does not cease to visit
her old and tried friends. One hopes 1t may
be permitted to member of the tribe Of re

poets In one of the chief causes of the popu-
larity of Mr. Sherman's verse. He is real
troubadour, his is the ''gay SCIENCE" and he
aspires to seem and to be cheerful. Now for
this resaon-and others more strictly literary
shall Mr.. Sherman wear good hat and
buy rare book and ride behind a horse Of
high descent, If he pleases, while You, and
you. that set melancholy and nothing else to

A lofty lament emo bles, but morbid worry

in its encouragement of Mr.. Sherman's
happy, spontaneous and sensitive verse.
Grace and compactness characterize his poe
try. which shows not much ambition to un-
dertake more than the modern troubadoul's
part. Among especially apt verses are the
fine compliment to the translator Omar
Khayam; charming fancy, At Midnight
the delicately dramatic Moths; an echo of
old time English song In Mnemosyne's Mir
ror, yet with modern harmonies; Pepita, a
pink of ove-poetry; and little lyric gem,

THE DUTY OF REPUBLICANS.
rRiddafnrd .Tnurnal


The absurdity Of the Republican party in
Congress listening for moment to the de-
mands of the Democratic and Mugwump
press for repeal or a modification even, of
the Mckinley BILL before IL has trial, Is APP
parent. They will do no such thing. The
bill will remain law, so long as the Repub-
licane have control Of either of the co-ordi-
nate branches Of the government, until it
has been thoroughly tested. If business inn
proves under it to any such extent as the Re-
publican party claim, there will be such a
change Of feeling In favor of it that the bus
mess men Of all parties will demand that
there be no further "tinkering Of the tariff"
This is no time for fair weather Republic
cans In Congress. 1t Is their duty to stand
by the party platform, to fulfil its pledges to
the people, by promptly passing the election
bill, bill for the reapDortionment of repre-
sentatives based upon the last census, and to
see TO 1t that no further arrangement In bus
iness is occasioned by any change whatever
in the tariff, until at least 1t has been given a
full and fair trial and proven to be either
success or failure.
In two years time. or before the expiration
of President Harrison's term, we believe the
bill will have worked out its own salvation,
and no one, be he Republican or Democrat,
will ask for its repeal. Let the tariff alone.
The Portland daily press., 1890-11-17
Facts about Sugar.

All sugars below the grade mo. 16" are
brown, and are used almost exclusively by
the refners.
The white table sugars in common use
are above 'No. 20" in grade.
Under the old tariff law sugar under "No.
16" paid duty ranging from cent and a
half to two and three quarters cents a
pound.
Under the new tariff sugar under mo.
16" comes In free.
This, Of course, means that the refner will
get the coarser grades of sugar cheaper.
Now what about the consumer, who uses
refined sugar of grade above "No. 2O"e
Under the old law this refined sugar paid a
duty Of from three to three and half cents
pound.
1t is plain that IL, under the new law. this
old rate is kept up on the refined sugar, the
refiners. being able to get raw sugar duty
free, will have rich harvest out of the con-
sumers.
But the old rate is not kept up on the re-
fined sugars, but is reduced by the Mckinley
law to half cent pound.
1t is therefore as plain as the nose on your
face that, If the refners attempt to profit nm.
duly by the free raw sugar clause. they will
find their production knocked out of the
market by foreign refined sugars which will
pay only duty of half cent In place Of
three or three and half cents under the
old law.
No Democrat who reads these facts with
one tenth part of normal development of his
reasoning powers can fail to understand why
sugar is a1d must be cheaper under the Nc
Kinley law.
No Democrat either can fail to see how
stupid and ignorant was the Argus Saturday
morning when 1t declared:
The Mckinley bill throws off the duties on raw
sugars-the kind of sugars produced abere-.hus
adding millions OF dollars to the profits of the
Trust, and not to the benefit of the consumers.
The Portland daily press., 1890-11-17

Professor Koch has given out for publica-
tlon long statement concerning his alleged
cure for consumption. Its conservative
character will rather serve to deepen the i'm
preston that the Professors discovery is
destined to be Of widespread value to the
human race than otherwise. The Professor
does not claim that he has discovered the
elixir Of life, or that he is able to restore to
health and vigor consumptive patients In
whom the disease has far progressed. This
class, he admits. are likely to receive from
his discovery nothing more than some tenn
porery relief at most. But he is very conf.
dent that consumption In Its incipient stages
can be permanently cured by his process,
Professor Koch deprecates the mechanical
and iDdiscriminate application of the RENE.
dy. He holds that it would be preferable
that the treatment should be applied in suit
able institutions where careful observa-
tlon would be possible. He SAYS
that sufficient experience has not yet been
collected regarding tuberculosis of the brain
and the larynx and military tuberculosis to
justify the expression Of any opinion in re-
gard to the efficacy of the remedy. Profess
sor Koch's statement throughout is charac-
terized by the caution Of the man of science,
and is entirely free from the jaunty air of
confidence and positiveness that is generally
soprominent In the outgivings of the en-
piric.

MR.. A. L. MURDOCH:
Dear Sir:
My son, twelve years of age, has been suffering
from shock to his nervous system for about
three years. His nerves were entirely shattered
so that we could not keep him In school for any
length OF time. Neither doctors nor medicines
did him any good but he grew steadily worse, and
finally had species Of St Vitus dance. At last
we gave up every medicine, and began giving him
Murdock's Food. He soon began to improve
After taking two large bottles he gained strength
enough to enter the Boys Latin School. Greatly
to our surprise and that of his former teachers he
has managed to attend that school constantly
without single absence for the last two months
He shows no sign of breaking down again, and is
on the road to complete recovery. His improve
ment is dine entirely to Murdock's Food, and we
propose to continue its use till he is the strongest
member Of the family.
Yours very truly,

Unuer the Mills bill, measure which the
Argus supported, the duty on raw sugar was
two cents and forty hundredths per pound.
Under the same bill the duty ON refined sug.
ar was two cents and eighty hundredths ner
pound. The refiner enjoyed therefore a nro.
lection OF six-tenths OF cert per ponnd I'm
der the Mckinley bill raw sugar is free and
the duty on refined sugar is five.tenths of a
cent per pound. The refner enjoys under
the Mckinley bill therefore protection of
five-tenths of cent per pound, or one-tenth
of a cent less than under the Mills bill.
Under the old tariff law the refner enjoyed
protection Of seven and One-half tenths a
pound Now if production from the seven and
hall tenths of the old law to six-tenths by
the Minis bill would "render possible" as Mr..
Mills declared, ''the importation of foreign
refined sugars, so as to prevent exorbitant
prices and protect consumers againstcombi-
nations" will the Argus explain how 1t hap
pens that reduction from the seven and
one'half tenths per pound Of the old law to
the hve-tenths of cent per pound of the
mckinley bill will not permit the importa-
ton II foreign refined sugars so as to pre-

ALL ADMIT THAT
PARALYSIS

as the system is dying BY degrees, first the
muscles, then the nerves and tissues, and not
vitality enough exists to stop the decline, and
death follows in few days or months.

dred cases that we have restored to health, who
were suffering from this lingering life, and
none more interesting or chronic than the follow

Spinal Meningitis. ending In Paralysis, with loss
of use of both legs, arms and back. Recovered in
four to five months the use Of all but her right leg,
which she has had no control Of since, and has
been In a hospital for treatment two weeks and
discharged with right foot wearing iron shoe,
and straps of iron jointed at the knee worn night
and day, and walk ed with crutches. Returned in
two weeks to Hospital for an examination of the
full board of surgeons and pronounced incurable
and discharged as such. Since then has been I'M
der the medical treatment of nine Of our leading
physicians and specialists, but no relief. Her
leg has stopped growing. being not more than "a

abandoned her iron shoes at night, which had
made sore on her thigh; after two weeks more,

But it is encouraging to mark that the great

the Boston Journal, an old and tried coun-

As lie is, 1t is absurd to assert that law has

The New York Tribune takes the same
ground, and denounces with righteous indig-
nation those who are showing the white
feather because small section Of the party
was frightened from the polls by the high
price scare, although the mass of the party
came up with its old time loyalty. The
Tribune is quite right in seeing no advant-

enough SO far as it goes, but it will never ac
