reasoning.

THE death of Hon. Henry Hamilton
is announced elsewhere, and short
sketch of his life is given. Mr.. Hamil-
ton was we'll known to all the old resi-
dents of Los Angeles. As a pioneer
journalist he had state reputation. He
was man of great force of character.
His profound scholarship and wide con-
versance with history and polite litera-
ture, gave his pen polish and his
writings grace of style which rendered
them interesting and attractive. Added
to these, he was a deep and accurate
thinker and man OF the most positive
opinions-a combination of qualities
that invested his articles with force
and power that carried influence and
conviction wherever they were read.
He was eminently man who had
the courage of his convictions,
and no power could swerve him
from his course once he had made
up his mind as to the right. Brave,
upright, honest, he was a tower of
strength to any cause he espoused. As
a friend, he was of that kind that Polo
MUS advised his son to fasten to with
hooks of steel. Los Angeles has had
many brave and true souls amongst her
citizens, but she never had braver or
truer one than Henry Hamilton. Peace
and eternal light be with thee.

YOUNG MIN TO rHR FRONT.

In an interview had by reporter of
the New York World with Governor
Russell of Massachusetts, that gentle
man gave some interesting facts con-
cerning the causes that brought about
the political revolution that made the
Bay State Democratic. 1t was mainly
the work of young men. The governor
himself is only thirty-six. The other
state officers and many of the congress-
men are as young or younger. Shortly
after Mr.. Cleveland's tariff reform mes
sage number of young men, irrespect-
i've of politics, got together and organ
lied club, the cardinal idea OF which
was elaborated in Mr.. Cleveland's first
message to the Fiftieth congress. They
made it distinctive idea of their club
that none of its members were to med
die with municipal or local politics.
Few of them cared for honors of any
kind, and those which have fallen to
their lot in such liberal measure were
forced upon them. They entered upon
a propaganda of their tariff reform prin-
ciples with enthusiasm. The ultra
tariff platform of the Republican ma
tional convention OF 1888 left them no
alternative but to affiliate with
the Democratic party; and, as a
result, Massachusetts, if not in the
list of reliably Democratic states, is at
least in the doubtful column. Governor
Russell was the first nominee for gov
ernor contributed by this club, and on
his first run was beaten. The second
time he achieved magnificent victory.
This is the third time hide-bound Mas
sachusetts has been carried by the
Democrats since away back in the
thirties, counting Ben Butler as Demo-
crat. While that versatile person is an
uncertain quantity in politics he was at
least elected on the Democratic ticket.
There is inspiration for the Democrats OF
California in Governor Russell's success.
We have about the ratio to overcome
that existed in Massachusetts when that
commonwealth was one of the Repub-
lican pillars. The same sturdy deter
mination, discipline and intelligent pro-
pagandism will accomplish the same re-
suits here as have been witnessed in the
hotbed of Republicanism on the Allan
tic coast. In addition, the Farmers
Mutual Benefit association bids fair to
make wreck of the at one time puis-
SAINT and arrogant Republican party.
Work will count for Democratic success
as fully in California as in Massachusetts,.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-03-17
SOMETHING ABOUT COUNTY BRIDGES.

The question of county roads and
county bridges is one of great interest
to the residents of the southern portion
of Los Angeles county. OF all the
bridges leading south the Downey
bridge is the only one that survived the
late floods, and it is now the only means
OF communication with this city by
vehicle. The owners of teams have in
many cases to make immense circuits
to reach this bridge. The approaches
to all the others have gone bodily. A
gap of fully three hundred feet prevents
the belated owner of buggy, carriage or
wagon from crossing the structure lead
ing to Santa Fe Springs. There is an
elegant iron bridge on the Ranchito
road, but the only drawback is that the
river is now running comfortably three
hundred feet away from it. AS to all
these bridges it may be said, with per-
feet accuracy, that they are not needed
until the season of floods, the streams
being easily fordable, and when the floods
come the bridges are simply not there.
The first rise of the water which makes
fording precarious carries the bridges
away, and there you are. We are ad-
monished to speak kindly of the bridge
that carries us safely over the waters !;
but how can you speak with anything
but contempt of bridge that only
brings you to the middle of a stream
and hurls you down precipice into a
maelstrom, unless you are on the look
out? Precisely this is what the bridges
over the San Gabriel river, from the
Azusa downwards, would do if one were
not on the look out. What is the use of
such bridges? Why should they be
built at all, at great outlay to the
county? When you need them you
have not got them, and when you don't
need them they obtrude themselves on
your attention, blocking up access to the
most convenient fords. The prodigal
waste of money attending these struc-
lures should be stopped, and all atten-
tion concentrated on one really good and
seryiceable bridge, whose approaches
would not wash away on the approach
of the first big rain.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-03-17
A coLoRLEss NEWSPAPER.

A great amount, SO it is said, has been
raised in New York city to publish an
absolutely colorless newspaper-one that
will contain news and not views. This
is pretty project on paper. The his
tory of all newspapers worthy the name
would indicate remarkably early death
for this pretentious journalistic bant-
ling. 1t has had forerunners which by
no means indicated a prosperous out
come for the present venture, which is
ysunted to have lots of money behind
it. The Imperialist, which was started
to advocate Grant for emperor, had
plenty of money to the fore. Soihad
journal, whose name we have forgotten,
which was started expressly to boom
Grant for the third term, and which
quickly exhausted the ample exchequer
which was ready to its hand. Great
newspapers build themselves up slowly.
No newspaper is worth 'baubee that
is not provided with opinions and with
the courage to express them boldly.
The news is an essential department of
a newspaper, but it is by no means the
only one. newspaper ought to have
views on all current topics, news, litera-
ture, poetry, the arts, and so on. Not
to have them is to argue imbecility.
There are plenty of feeble journals in
existence-far too many to have i'm
becility announced as the principal
factor in a new enterprise. OF trim
ming journals there is no end. The
immortal Pickwick gave the keynote Of
these in his memorable participation in
the Eatanswill election. Mr.. Pickwick
having given being to the sen
tentious aphorism, Always go
with the mob" his interlocutor
asked, "But what if there are two
mobs?" "Then," said Mr.. Pickwick,
confirming the confidence his friends
had in his judgment, Ego with the big
gest mob" Most American journals
realize this injunction to the letter.
They recall the politician who, having
proclaimed his views, and seeing look
of dissidence on the faces of his audit
ors, instead of ending his speech, came
again to the front OF the rostrum, and
said, with as much amiability as he
could assume: "Them s my sentiments !;
but, if they don't suit you, can change
'em."
News is an excellent thing, and it were
much to be wished that it were an affair
of greater pith and moment. 1t gener-
ally ranges from the details of prize
fight to the costume worn by the duchess
OF Dingdong at some swell reception in
London or Paris. But honest, manly
editorial comment, especially if it is
graced by wit or erudition, or both, is
worth the vulgar staple of news ten
times over. The kind of news that is so
frequently dished up to the American
reading public, especially in pretentious
special dispatches, is rank offence to
high heaven.
Away with the colorless newspaper.
The American people want journal
that prints the news and dares to COM
ment upon it intelligently and man.
fully.
