OF Bow-wow's BLusrER.


FURTHER OF Bow-wow's BLUsTER.
The peart w. W. Bowers, of San
Diego, seems to think that it is an awful
thing that citizens OF Los Angeles should
dare to get up in our chamber OF COM
merce and complain OF the neglect with
which this region is treated. He has been
spending world OF his weazened wind
OF late upon one of the editors of the
HERALD who had dared to point out
what lying little scrub the people of
Los Angeles, in moment Of alteration,
had elected to congress. In thus char
acterizing w. w. Bowers the HERALD
has not The slightest intention Of
entering into q contest in which
spithets are multiplied. Its read
ers have known for years past
lnas accumulatipg. reservoirs of personal
sinvective is not its practice. We call
the member for the old, Sixth district
by this harsh name for several reasons,
principal of which are (1) that he has
lied to the voters of Los Angeles; and
w tndt QC udo uJtCxly k8lACu W uAS-
charge his duty to this section.
When little BowWow was running
for congress we warned the people OF
Los Angeles Of the betrayal they might
expect if they voted for him. No one
knew better than we what a liar
Bowers was when he said that he would
work for an appropriation of $6,00O, 600
for San Pedro harbor. That he said he
would do just that thing any one who
listened to his miserable flights of rotten
rhetoric during the late campaign knows.
We knew and said that he was lying.
The event has proven how wanton was
the lie. He lied in his throat and in his
diaphragm and down to the point OF his
shanks which ought to have met his
socks, if he wore any, when he told the
people of Los Angeles that he would
work to get them any kind OF an appro-
priation. When he made his lying and
insincere speeches he had already packed
the vote in his own county, and with
malice prepense and aforethought he
was preparing to honeyfugle the foolish
voters of Los Angeles, who take sim
gular and eccentric delight in being
always sold out, taken in and done for,
and that by clowns who would be better
adapted to hanging on to the tents of
circus than figuring in congressional
marble halls.
So much for this San Diego curio as
far as he is personally concerned. The
fiity-second congress has looked
upon him as the kings OF me-
diaval days regarded their court
fools, viz, as innocent instruments
Of that sound and fury which signifies
nothing. But when Bow-Wow proceeds
to accuse us OF the crime of lese majesie
in daring to mention the names Of Sena-
tors Stanford and FELTON, we are tempted
to ask, upon what meat have these our
Caesars fed that they have become 60
great as to be beyond criticism. They
are just as amenaDle to an inquiry as to
their official acts as the mighty Bow
Wow himself.
What the people OF Los Angeles coun-
ty know perfectly we'll is that they have
been betrayed by Bowers, who lied to
them, and have not been generously
treated by the two senators from San
Mateo county. If we are 30 timid that
we are afraid to say boo to goose, we
may be perfectly sure that we shall
never get anything. Los Angeles coun'
ty is a populous and wealthy commu-
nifty, and we should begin to so arrange
our affairs that we can compel recogni-
tion. All we have to do is to show that
we are independent of little political
juggles, and that when it comes to fair
share of recognition from the govern
ment OF the United States our politicians
OF both the great political parties, and of
all parties which may hereafter be or
ganized, are prepared to stand in for
their rights.
A thing which the great Bow-Wow
SCENE to have overlooked is that, if
Geary and Caminetti, Democratic con-
gressmen from California, have been
able to get large appropriations for their
several districts, the sooner we begin to
elect Democratic congressman from this
end of the state the better. This is a
pregnant lesson. AS we are likely to
have Democratic house OF representa-
tives for many years to come, we suggest
that every man of sense in Los Angeles
ought to direct his attention to getting
good, energetic Democratic congress
man from the present Sixth district.
We should then shortly begin to realize
that we had friend at court, and an
occasional appropriation from the fed
eral treasury of sufficiently large amount
not to be insulting, might come our
way.
THERE is strong flavor Of religion in
the air, and it blows from points SO
diverse as Omaha and Portland. At
both OF these places great national
bodies are convened, and Los Angeles is
