SOME idea of the extent to which Los
Angeles is victimized by tax eaters can
be formed from lessons gathered from
the following contrast. 1t is from an
Associated Press dispatch, and reads
thus:
The state executive board, consisting
of Governor Pennoyer, Secretary of
State Mcbride and State Treasurer
Webb, met today at the Office OF the lat
ter and made levy of taxes for state
purposes for the year 1891, as follows: !:
For the general expense fund, four mills !;
university tax, one-seventh of mill !;
military tax, one-ffth of mill. This
makes total tax for state purposes OF
four and twelve -thirty-fifth mills. The
total taxable property of the thirty-one
counties of the state is STA, ,O77, ,76s, and
the tax levied will raise total of
$495, ,423.
On the other hand, in this noble
county of ours, after all deductions, the
valuation was $67 900, 900, and the state
rate of taxation was 81 cents on the 800
of valuation. In other words, the single
county of Los Angeles pays four-fifths
of as large sum as is collected from the
whole people of the great and prosper
GUS state of Oregon. Not only that, but
the money we pay over is cartedjup to
Sacramento, and that is the last Ne ever
see or hear of it. In Oregon iYis kept
circulating in a compact territbry, and
gets into the channels of business
shortly after it is paid into thdtreasury.

ern newspapers pricked the real estate
bubble Of 1867. 1t was taking on
alarming proportions, and the Rfty by one
hundred and fifty-foot lot craze should
certainly have received quietus from
some quarter. We print elsewhere an
article from the New York Times, which
was republished in the Chicago Trib-
une, of January Sd, and which shows
that eastern visitors can now take dis
passionate view of the real situation in
Los Angeles, and that the eastern press
is willing to give the claims of this Sec
ton fair hearing. This may well be
accepted as the turning OF the tide.
FROM this time forward we may look for
a strong, remunerative and reliable de-
velopment, with no after-clap, and it
will be founded on our ability to pro-
duce a ga-

THAT SLICK pARKEY.
How He Got the Note on the Street
Car

Car.
L. M. Appleby, conductor on
Main-street car, called at the HERALD
office yesterday and explained how the
young negro boy picked up the note on
his car. The car left Agricultural park
late Tuesday evening, with this boy and
one other passenger aboard. At Fiji
teenth street the other got off, and the
fifteenth amendment was the sole occu-
pant of the car. At Sixth street pas
senger got on, and another at Fifth.
About this time the driver got aboard,
and the conductor went to get his
fares. One of the men took from his
pocket roll of bills, and handed one to
the conductor. AS this one was getting
the change the man kept fumbling with
the bills in his hand, and looking up,
said, ''Is that one-dollar bill?" The
conductor replied that it was, and
handed it back for inspection.
The passenger then said: II
have lost some money!" He got
back his change and looked about for
the money, but could not find any. At
Second street he left the car. The con-
ductcr went to the rear end of his car,
and as he stood there, when passing
First street, he saw the boy pick up
what looked like bill. He came
around and said, "You have found that
mans money. You must have seen
him drop it," In moment the end OF
the run was reached, in front OF Helm
zeman's drug store. The boy said to
the driver, Here, you say nothing
about this and l will whack up
with YOU" Appleby declined the
honor of sharing in the boys theft
and told him to 60 with him into the
drug store and leave the money there in
order that the owner might get it if he
came to enquire about the matter fur
ther. The conductor turned to ask the
driver to turn the horses while he went
into the drug store. His head was
turned only moment and when he
returned to get his little negro that slick
article had slipped away, and that is the
last he has seen of him. Appleby does
not know what denomination the bill
was of, but judged it to be $40.

SENATOR BLACKBURN made rousing
silver speech yesterday. He shows
that it is not the silver states
alone that are desirous of see
ing the free coinage bill passed,
but that it is an aspiration for prosper
ity shared by the whole great west. He
hews to the line, too, and ii chip falls
into the camp of his own party he does
not seem to care too much. The best
service man can do his party is to tell
it plainly of its faults, and point out to
it the dangers that are before it.

THE Indian situation at Pine Ridge is
decidedly serious. If the savages ever
see their way to success they will do
terrible slaughter ON the whites. The
friendly" Indians will become very un-
friendly ifthe opportunity presents itself.
The present situation looks very much
like the ominous calm that precedes
the storm. 1t may break before sunrise
upon the soldiers and the people Of the
agency. General Miles is probably fully
able to cope with the difficulties that
surround him, but they are many and
great.

The political situation in Nebraska is
decidedly interesting. 1t has as many
heads as Cerberus. They are nearly as
noisy too, as those of the deep-mouthed
and many-mouthed dog at the gates of
hades. A regular ''freeze out" is pro-
posed for Thayer today, but as that
doughty chieftain of the straight Repub-
licans is old and tough, he may take
much freezing before he gets cold.

SURELY the noble Indian is capable Of
civilization. Two of the race are on trial
in Arizona for forgery. One was edu-
Gated at the school at Carlysle, Pennsyl-
vania, and the other at the San Carlos

poker players too. With these two ac-
complishments of the higher race they

they were in Los Angeles, an admiring
public would probably elect them to the
