THE Examiner OF Saturday contains
pictorial illustrations of our new Ameri-
can navy. Unfortunately for us, many
of these new vessels are vet IN futuro,
and those which have been completed
are not within reach of the scene of
hostilities should we have brush with
Chile. The way our navy is scattered it
looks very much as if Chile would be
able to carry out the favorite tactics
of the first Napoleon, of beating
us in detail. 1t is not what
we have in Atlantic and China waters,
but what we have within striking dis
tance of Valparaiso, that would count
in the event of sudden declaration of
war. 1t would not be a Dad thing for
the navy department to begin to hustle
all the spare torpedoes it can rake and
scrape to San Francisco for such event.
ualities as might occur. Chile, if she is
bent on mischief, and has any naval
power at all, will undou ubtedly aim to
knock the Baltimore out and steam up
to San Francisco. Why, with an un-
settled dispute with that country, the
Charleston was ordered to Chinese
waters, is a thing whose wisdom will be
the subject OF debate with the average
American. To complicate matters, we
are told that the San Francisco is prac-
tically disabled, and that she will be
obliged to return to the Golden Gate
to have her hull scraped. There was a
Los Angeles herald., 1891-11-02

The indications are that Los Angeles
is destined to be the great winter racing
center of the United States. Tom Rod
man telegraphs from San Francisco that
if they can have racing season about
the holidays an avalanche of blood
horses and their owners will come down
to Los Angeles to winter at the Agricul-
tural park. The horses will remain here
all through the winter months, and fill
all the stalls. AS a winter racing resort
Los Angeles is unrivaled. They have
winter races in the east, but the slush
and snow make them anything but in
teresting. The climatic attractions here
will appeal to horsemen everywhere.

THERE is one circumstance about LIZ

THERE is one circumstance about Los
Angeles that is quite significant. We
.al!ude to the small number of vacant
houses which are to be found here now.
1t is no exaggeration to say that there is
not one empty dwelling here today for
ten that were reported year ago. The
city has filed up at remarkable rate.
In the ninth ward there are only thirty
unoccupied premises now while there
were fully five hundred twelvemonth
ago. OF all places Los Angeles is most
unfortunate in the fact that the census
was taken last year instead of this.

IT WILL be interesting to note whether
the indignation OF whole community
will have any effect upon the admins
tration in preventing the consummatioD
of the most infamous job which has
ever been essayed on this coast, viz,
the purchase of an out of the way
site for the new postoffice in
San Francisco at price that is
concededly twice the value Of the
property. The evidence is overwhelm-
ing that the property bonded for the
new public building would be dear at
100000, and yet it is sought to make
the government pay $1,040. 900 for it.
Should the iniquity be consummated,
where would the $4,000 overplus goe
This is a very important question.

is behind this phase OF the affair no.
body can doubt. This is very prac-
tical age, and few can be persuaded that
this vast sum will not go into
somebody's pocket. The people who
are fighting this great wrong
are told that if the Mission
street location is not accepted San Fran
cisco will have to get along with her
present postal accommodations. Better,
hundred times, that should be the
case than that fraud should be tri-
umphant and the will of the people con-
temned. The locality selected is highly
absurd, but the jobbery is the most
indefensible thing about the whole mat
ter. That it was intended that very
considerable swag should be divided
with somebody, singular or plural, all
the circumstances that surround the
case tend to prove.
