is, consequently, much minified. The
difficulty, as respects Los Angeles, is in.
creased by the fact that quite number
of our banks have not been admitted to
the clearing house, their operations thus
not figuring in the returns. The impor-
tance of San Francisco as a commercial
port was shown recently by the discov-
cry that $36, ,000,0 900 in gold coin was on
deposit in that city. A large portion of
it was drawn east to relieve the strin-
gency in the money market there. The
real wealth of Los Angeles is shown by
the enormous volume of our banking
capital, larger than that of many cities
twice our size, and the unexampled to-
tai OF our deposits. This is the true ex-
planation of the comparatively small
show made by California cities in the
weekly clearing house reports.

THE WORK HALF DONE.

The New Orleans vigilance committee,
when they undertook to infiict justice
upon the Maffei who had been acquitted
by the jury, must have had convincing
'proof of the guilt OF the men they
summarily executed. Ii they had such
proof and it was sufficient to justify
their act, it is to be presumed that it
was adduced in the trial. That it failed
to produce verdict of guilty can only
be explained on two grounds-that the
jury was incapable of appreciating the
force and value of the evidence, or had
been tampered with by the agents or
friends of the accused. The presumption
is overwhelming that the jurors were
sufficiently intelligent to know what
they were doing, so that in rendering a
verdict OF acquittal in spite of the evil
dence OF the guilt of the prisoners. there
would be no other conclusion to come to
than that itwas a corrupt and purchased
verdict. The circumstances that char
acterized the selection of the jury would
also give weight to this conclusion; ), so
that really it resolves itself to this, that
the people took the law into their own
hands because justice had been
outraged in her temple. That
being the case, their vengeance should
have been wreaked upon the men who
had corruptly defeated the ends of JUS
tice as we'll as upon those who escaped
through the meshes of the law by reason
of their false verdict. The crime of the
jury was really more fagitious than that
of the assassins. For whilst the latter
had only carried out their diabolical
practices against the lives OF individuals,
the former had struck at the very foun-
dations of society, and turned justice
into farce. Had the committees
action been logical they would have
first hanged the jury and then executed
the other malefactors. AS it is they
only half performed their work. and
commenced at the wrong end. If the
avengers were justified in lynching the
prisoners they are open to condemna-
ton for letting the jury 60 free. The
man who sits on a jury with a bribe in
his pocket to find a verdict against the
evidence, is reptile who should have
no mercy. He should be struck down
by every honest hand. In the case of
the New Orleans mafei, he is really the
responsible author of the massacre in
the parish prison, and accountable for
all the troubles that may flow from this
tumultuous act of popular vengeance.

FOOD ADULTERATION.

1t is quite remarkable the extent to
which the people of the United States
permit themselves to be victimized in
regard to food products. Some years
ago leading eastern illustrated paper
made an elaborate expose of the swill
milk establishments of that city-agen-
cies for the promotion of infant mortali
ty on gigantic scale. AS the sensation
has not been again attempted it is to be
hoped that the vicious practice has been
abandoned, although it is very doubtful
if it has. This was one OF those vii
lainies that not only called for exposure
but for sharp and exemplary punish
ment. 1t is scarcely necessary to say
that none was meted out. The degree
to which leading staples which enter
into the health and well-being of the
masses are sophisticated is absolutely
matter of wonder. Sugar, by some mys-
terious agency, is no longer sweet. 1t is
juggle between glucose and some sac
charine fiavoring matter. 1t is long
since syrups of any kind could be de-
pended upon to sweeten a griddle cake.
On the other hand, vinegar has lost its
tartness and is divested of all the fine
chemical uses sfor which it form
erly stood in such good stead. 1t
has become sort of sickly sweetish
stuff, that smells strongly of diluted
sulphuric acid. Beer, most whole
some beverage, properly made, is rem
dered breeder of Bright's disease of
the kidneys through the substitution Of
cheap Cape aloes for hops and the lib
eral employment of sallicylic acid.
Most of the whiskies sold almost justify
the prohibition crusade by their vile
ness. Brandy, gin, rum, whiskey, and
any alcoholic compound one may choose
to name, are all made from the same
raw neutral spirits, favored to suit,
with oil OF cognac, oil OF juniper, and
so on.
In Europe the adulterators OF the
food and drink OF the people are dealt
with summarily. The honest despot-
isms that prevail on that continent con-
slider that the least they can do, in re-
turn for their unlimited privileges, is to
compel an honest food regime, and they
discharge this noble function with mer-
ciless severity. The fact is that man
who deliberately sophisticates any ar
ticle of food or drink which involves the
health of his fellow man ought to be
hung or cremated.
The question is, why do we suffer all
these accumulating enormities? God
alone knows, and he is long suffering
and not at all communicative.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-03-18
THE REASON FOR 1T.

A subject to which the attention OF
the people of California is often called
is the paucity of their clearing house re-
turns as compared with those OF other
states. Thus San Francisco, which is
really, as respects foreign commerce,
the third city in the United States,
shows up very pitifully as compared
with some eastern cities that do not do
anything like the business that is trans
acted at the Golden Gate. Los Angeles.
also, makes misleading and notifying
exhibit. Unless the circumstances are
understood wholly wrong impression
would be created by this fact. In Cali
fornia the bulk OF settlements are made
on a cash basis. In San Francisco
sturdy messengers, loaded down with
coin, have been dispatched, from time
immemorial, to settle Indebtedness.
The practice OF drawing checks has pre-
vailed to ve1y limited extent. Mil
lions of dollars worth of accounts are
thus adjusted without the interposition
of the banks. This is the case, also, in
Los Angeles, although. OF course,
on a smaller scale. In the east,
ON the other hand, debts OF all
amounts are cancelled, and pay
ments of the most insignificant amounts
are made in checks. Few Californians
think of drawing a check for a small
sum. Most things are paid for either in
coin, at the time of the purchase, or, in
any event, at the time of settlement.
The old-time Californian rarely draws
check for trife. AS a result, the busi-
ness of the clearing house is largely re-
duced and the volume of its transactions

TROrTERs AT THE rRONT.

The year 1891 will very likely b
known MS the greatest trotting year 70
many decades to come. That SO man
phenomenal events in tho way OF recort
breaking could follow IN such rapid sue
~cession was hardly believed possible
Within the last six weeks we have seer
a series Of trotting marks made that ma,
not be touched for man years. First Of
all, the peerless Sunol has taken thu
crown from Maud S., after six years
of unbroken reign. AS Mr.. Marvin sale
at tho conclusion OF Sunol's great per
formance, it will be a long time before
her record Of 2:0Sl4 is lowered. But
there are other records quite as wonder.
full. Think of the yearling, Bell Bird, q
mere colt, trotting a mile in 2:264. This
performance is rightly regarded as the
most sensational trotting event evel
known. And then, too, think Of the
two-year-oid Arion trotting a mile in
2:141s. Goldsmith Maid reached 2:l4
when she was sixteen years old and held
the record four years.
The PAGERS have likewise done glory
to themselves. While Johnston's fastest
mile was not equaled, Direct, in his
great race with Hal Pointer at Nashville
the other day. o the second heat in
the fastest time ever paced in q race
2:0914. while the average OF the three
heats-2:101a-has never been equaled.
All this history is the result Of the last
six weeks of work on the turf. Besides,
any number of horses have lowered their
records from day to day at the recent
great meetings at Independence and
Stockton. It is said that the close of the
season will find more than 1000 horses
who have lowered their record from $50
the year.
The great increase of popular interest
in trotting has been shown by the enor-
nous attendance at all meetings, and
the heavy prices paid for blooded horses.
The price of 100000, which Mr.. Reed
paid for st. Blaise, seems fabulous ex-
to those horsemen who know the
value of the animal, while MI. Williams
of 100000 for Allerton would
seem to a tyro as sufficient evidence of
The trotter is peculiarly an American
product. In England and foreign coun-
tries attention has been devoted
to running until very recently,
and it is only within recent years that
very marked progress has been made in
the development of the trotters in this
country. Twenty years g the record
of Lucille Gold Dust-2:164-was re-
as almost the limit of trotting
speed. The progress since that time
has been due to the finer study
Of points and breeding. Mr.. Bon
ner, who is probably the great
est authority On trotting in this coun-
try, recently remarked that in his opin-
on 2:05. if it was ever reached, would be
the limit Of trotting speed. But who
ian tell what twenty years more may
bring forth?
