i>JN APUZZLE Was SOLVED.

When you want a certain article, you want
he best make of that article, don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
> what puzzles you isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for you.
ny authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't you2
And you would like to hear of one puZ-
zle that has been solved for the people of
The whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition of 1889 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines OF
the world, including those Of America, We're
in competition. They were passed upon by Il
jury composed of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts, two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France
This jury, after exhaustive examination,
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best of all, ant.
awarded that company the highest prize of
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving Other
companies only gold, silver and bronZ<
medals.
The French Government, as further
recognition Of superiority, decorated Mr.
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the com.
pany, with the Cross of the Legion O.
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by The
most competent authority in the world il
favor of the No. 9 and No. 10 Wheeler {
Wilson machines.
The No.9, for family use, and the No. 1s
for manufacturing uses, are the best in the
world to-day.
And now, when you want sewing ma.
chine, if you do not get the best, it will b;
your own fault.
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the
No. 8 Wheeler & Wilson machine and if he
does not keep them. write to us for descrip
tive catalogue, prices and terms.

we do not want censorship of the
press to be attempted in this country.
Or if censorship be required we
would prefer that pnstmaslers should

of Gen. Jackson a aSouth Carolina post
master refused to deliver Abolition
literature. even though the documents
might be spetchts Of intiEbtrs ct Cor

and the then post tmaster general sus-
tanned his action. But the American
people meyer sustained that action. If
literature of al indecent sort is pub

deal with it. TO them, and not to
pOslmasters, let that sort of thing be
referred.

great and beautiful city he now beheld
had been evolved out of the little
Mexican village he was familiar
with at that time. So changed
had everything become that he
found it impossible to locate any land
mark that was familiar to him when he
was here before. But what astonished
him most was to see the magnificent
stretches of vineyards, orange groves
and flourishing farms between this city
and San Bernardino. When he passed
through the same country in 1864 it was
not only barren waste, but a sad and
sickening sight. There was not blade
of vegetation to be seen anywhere, and
the valleys and plains were literally COW
cred with the bones OF cattle that had
starved to death. That was the year OF
the most fearful drought that ever Wis
tied California. No wonder Captain
Kennedy, with the terrible picture OF
that year in his minds eye, looked with
wonder and admiration upon the glori-
GUS picture of this year.

We HOPE that eastern visitors will not
carry away the impression that Los An
geles is not land of flowers because
there is conspicuous paucity of them
in the exhibition now in progress at the
pavilion, and misnamed flower festi-
val. The fact is, the ladies managing
this exhibition made a miscalculation.
1t is too early, even in a propitious year,
for flowers to have put forth in suf1i-
cient abundance to justify holding such
q fair. But, unfortunately, this is a
backward season, and our gardens will
not be munifcently stocked with floral
wealth for two or three weeks yet. As
an authors carnival, however, with in
cidental flowers, the fair is most en-
joyable and attractive exhibition, ald
we'll deserves the very fattering atten-
tion it is receiving from the public. Per-
haps the ladies in their anxiety to open
the fair before our winter tourists had
departed forgot that to Los Angeles, as
we'll as to other points, there is signifi-
canoe and truth in the poetical idea
You may use me you list,
You may drive me far away,
But flowers are at their best
In the blooming month of May.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-04-09

in the upwards Of fifty counties
composing the state of California there
was not another instance of such an at
tempted misappropriation Of county's
money. There are multitudes of our
people-an overwhelming majority, in
fact, who think that the sooner Mr..
Aaron Smith is dissociated from our
public concerns the better. They look
upon him as an official Barnacle of a
highly undesirable, and, in fact, often
sive sort. Very much of the expensive
character of our county government is
justly ascribed to the presence of such,
men as Smith about the court house.
AS to the pretence that his services were
needed to help out our legislators, that
is sorry comment upon the efficiency
of those gentlemen. We have had SEN
ators and assemblymen before, and
they have had matters of great pith and
moment to attend to, but. this is the
first time a downright confession of in
competency has ever been made by men
elected in Los Angeles to serve the peo-
pie at Sacramento.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-04-09

THE steamer Cashmere reached New
York yesterday heralded by a report
that a contagious disease was raging
amongst the one thousand immigrants
she brought from Mediterranean ports.
If the report is true, this food
of Italians may fearfully avenge the
New Orleans lynching by spreading the
contagious malady they have amongst
our own people. A few days ago mass
of Russian pariahs were dumped upon
Castle Garden afflicted with a new type
of itch, which will doubtless bring a
good many Americans to the scratch,
and modify their views upon the ques-
tion of the universal brotherhood and
unlimited-asylum business. The way
Europe, and especially the most be-
nighted portion of it, is pouring its
proletariat riff-raf into this country is
something to cause every man to feel
that it is time to overhaul our immigra-
tion laws. 1t is perhaps true that the
great mass of this low-class immigra-
tion does not come. here under direct

manufacturing monopolies. But there is
an occult agency Of theirs bringing
them here. Not one in thousand of
this class of people who are now flooding
this country from the impoverished
populations of Italy and Eastern Europe
could raise money enough to pay his
passage, if left to his own resources. By
indirect means the law is evaded and
these people illegally dumped upon us.
Recent events will bring this question
before the next congress with terrific
force. and we feel assured that policy
of selection in the character of our immi-
grafton will be insisted upon that will
effectually exclude all but class of i'm
migrants who are fit to become citizens
of the republic.
