CARD-"YOUnS TRULY"
DEFENDED.

The HERALD, with its uniform rule of
fair play, gives place to communica-
ton OF J. H. Woodland, which appears
in other columns. This ingenious gen.
tleman bids fair to be known, hereafter,
as "Yours Truly" With persons not
so punctilious in their methods as
"Jayhawker," the performances of that
individual since his all too brief resi-
dence in Los Angeles would partake of
thimblerig-"now you see 1t and now
you DON'T" He first makes his advent
as challenging the rights of the City
Water company. At that time he was
not booming the water company. On
the contrary, quite the reverse. After
publishing in a city paper, with which
he is supposed to be affiliated, an article
which seriously attacks the right of the
water company to its franchise, privi-
leges and appurtenances, holding them
all forfeited, a great change comes over
the spirit of his dream. This article
was published in the Los Angeles Times,
in which j. H. Woodland is supposed to
have pecuniary interest, and of which
he is a staff representative. Judging
simply by surface indications, there has
been marked standing from under"
Whether there has or has not been
such a peculiar manifestation on the
part of the journal with which Woodland
has been connected, that individual has
figured in the lobbies OF the council as a
very persevering log-roller. He -four
ished in this role until Yesterday, when
his "Yours Truly" development prob
ably acted as a countervail to his gall.
To man up tree it would look as if
Jayhawker had taken the council and
people of Los Angeles ior-jays. A sus-
picious man would construct some such
dual proposition as this, from the facts
thus far developed:
o. That "Jayhawker," alias Wood
ard, had represented to the council that
he had big syndicate in the east which
he controlled, and that he could make
it pungle to any extent desired. In the
"Yours Truly" reply it must be said
that the syndicate evince proper dis
trust OF ''Jayhawker."
(2.) After having loaded up his east
ern "syndicate," SO called, with the idea
that he controlled the Los Angeles coun-
Gil, "Jayhawker" next devoted himself
to Illuminating in this city the notion
that he owned the syndicate. Here we
have case of now you see and now you
don't. Thimblerig, pure and simple-a
sort of lettering proposition in which
w GODDARD is to be the ringmaster, and
10 crack his whip at his sweet will.
Our correspondent says that he left
Indianapolis in daylight. But that by
no means implies that he may not have
left night behind-blank night, with
Cimmerian frills of darkness. He re-
fleets invidiously upon our suggestion
that as long as "Yours Truly" remains
amongst US we ought to organize COM
mittee of one hundred to watch our mu-
nicipal affairs. Well, we amend our
original motion, and earnestly suggest
that the one hundred should be made at
least one thousand. 1t is not always
that one can realize the true magnitude
of ones danger. 1t is like the cloud, no
larger than a mans hand, which may
grow until it overshadows the whole
heavens.

RAILROAD ways are very peculiar in
many respects, but we doubt whether
there ever was business development
that has caused more astonishment than
the fact recently disclosed that out Of
the thirtyfve dollars charged for fare
on the immigrant cars from the east to
California, the railroad companies pay
to the runner who secures a passenger
S2070 commission Either the railroad
or the passenger or both are robbed in
this transaction. Ii the railroad can
afford to carry the passenger for $l4.3O,
then either the passenger ought to have
the benefit OF the immense commission
given to the runner, or instead Of giving
the excess to him, it ought to be legiti-
mately used by the company to give the
passenger better accommodations than
he now receives. The commission is an
outrage on decency and common sense,
and is a robberyof the person least able
to bear it. If the railroads can
carry a passenger from New York
to this coast for $14.30. the
question forcibly presents itself:
Why don't they do it? Even if they
should charge 500 for the fare, allowing
80 per cent ommission-which would
be very liberal one-that would induce
large number of valuable settlers to
come to California, who are repelled
from doing go on account OF their in
ability to pay the fare now exacted.
Why not give the settler and the state
the advantage of the enormous COM
mission instead of the runner? That is
the question.

Egyptiau Rings.

Very beautiful rings have been hand
ed down to us-the Egyptian, Of pure
gold, heavy but simple in design, and
some in glass and pottery; the Baby
lonian, cylindrical, cut from some hard
substance like crystal, and perforated
from end to end, SO that they could be
hung about the neck. The Egyptian
snake rings are more quaint and curious
than beautiful. l.-Cassells Family Maga-

A Singular Duel.

A singular duel arising out Of an cleo
ton squabble has been recorded by Sir
j. harrington, in which seconds as well
as the principals fought. They stood
at right angles, ten PAGES distant, and
all began firing together on a signal
from an umpire. At the first the two
principals were touched; at the next both
seconds and one principal staggered out
of their places. They were well "hit, "
but no lives lost.-Leeds Mercury.

THE council, yesterday, took just
three minutes to dispose of the Newhart
conduit proposition. That body, if it
keeps up this line Of action, will very
shortly find itself very popular. This
thing of sweepstake franchises, with
the city's surrender Of privileges worth
millions for nothing, is not gaining in
popular approval.

why rhey Are Close Together.

By some it has been considered mys-
terry why two such important holidays
as Christmas and New Years come so
close together. 1t is plain. The excesses
of Christmas put the population in the
humor of making good resolutions for
the coming year, and it is necessary that
New Years be close on hand, else they'd
backslide before the resolutions were re-
corded. ed.-Deuyer News.

THE question Of an appropriation for
our haroors will doubtless this year be
a rather theoretical one. The present
congress proposes to establish itself as
the antithesis of the Billion Dollar Re-
publican congress, and appropriations
will be few and far between.
