Conditions other than those of mere
breeding seem to have much influence
on the development of physical charac
ter in cats. In one authenticated case a
tabby, which had lost her tail by having
that appendage run over, gave birth in
her next litter to three stump tailed kit
tens out of seven. The Manx cat is not
the only tailless variety. In the Crimea
is found another kind of cat which has
no tail. The domesticated Malay cat
has tail that is only about one-half the
usual length, and very often it is tied by
nature in a sort Of knot which cannot be

One of these, probably that on Spring
street, may be abandoned at a saving of
$4,000 yearly, which the superintendent
recommends.
The West school house will demand at
tention, it being old and likely soon to be
overcrowded. Therefore the building of
new school house is demanded.
Attention is called to the fact that our
schools are still sadly deficient in geo
graphical apparatus.
The Statistics.
There are on the city and islands 25
schools, 10 school houses and 1852 teach

The school population is as follows:

the superintendent notices in relation to
primary schools the fact that, beginning
with the Spring street primary and in
Guiding Park street Bracket street and
Mcclellan, there are four school houses
huddled together in close proximity.
There is one more than is needed, the ca

to be had, one for each class, with Miss

ten pupil teachers who are to serve one
year without pay, or with pay only when
they act as substitutes in other schools.
This would give about ten new teachers
a year, probably enough.

Los Angeles herald., 1892-01-18

THE question of the election of United
States senators by popular vote will re-
ceive considerable attention from the
present congress. The proposition has
strong supporters among the leading
men of both parties, aud we may expect
to see it placed in a position of conepic-
uousness this session that will force it
prominently before the country. One
plan that has been outlined, to assign a
senator to each state and one for each
million of population. will be strenu-
ously resisted. That plan would destroy
the fundamental idea of state rep
resentation and equality in the
senate and give such prepon-
derance in that body to the
densely inhabited states as would de-
stroy the representative power of the
smaller states. In the adoption of the
federal constitution this question was
elaborately and hotly discussed, and the
union could not have been effected ii
the larger states had not conceded equal
senatorial representation to the smaller
ones. One of the strongest arguments
advanced at the present time in favor of
the popular election of senators is the
fact that great corporations in too many
instances control the selections by legis-
latures. So many senators now hold
their seats through the favor of corpor-
ations, that the great trusts and the
capitalistic combinations of the country
are firmly entrenched in power in the
upper house of the federal legislature.
This may result in serious dead. lock
between the two branches of congress
some time, and lead to dangerous conse-
quences.

THE PRESS LEAGUE-THE DUTY OF
OUR PEOPLE.

The people of Los Angeles ought to be
awoke to the necessity OF providing fit
ting entertainment for the press league
that is about to honor our city with a
visit. The gentlemen composing this
delegation all stand high in their pro-
fession. They represent the leading
newspapers of the United States. They
all WELD pens OF considerable potency,
and their impressions Of the several
sections of California which they have
visited are certain to be bodied forth in
the shape of appreciatiye articles in the
journals to which they are attached.
1t is obligatory on our capitalists and
public-spirited citizens to see that Los
Angeles shall not be behind her sister
cities in showing courtesy to these
gifted gentlemen of the press. In San
Francisco, in Oakland, in San Jose, at
Monterey, and at other places, they have
been welcomed with an effusive hospi-
tality. The enterprising and liberal
citizens of those cities have been alert
to show to our visitors the traditional
geniality and responsiveness of the old
time Californian. The question is, shall
we lag behind? Can we afford to do so :?
Surely, surely not. 1t would be an
inefaceable reflection upon the liber-
ality and local patriotism of our citi-
zens. And yet strong language and an
urgent appeal are necessary. The COM
mittee having in charge the collection OF
funds for entertaining our. guests have
not been able, after two days work, to
collect half the sum necessary for the
purpose The press league will be here
on the ed inst. A telegram from NJ.
H. De Young, of the Chronicle, to the
HERALD, says that there will be about
one hundred and ten in the party. To
fitly entertain such a large body Of
guests simply means that our people
must come to the front. We can
scarcely afford to present an invidious
contrast to the rest OF the cities of
California.
On certain memorable occasion Mr..
Richard Swiveller was deputed to wait
upon the owner OF sold Curiosity Shop"
and make an appeal for funds. He ap-
preached the old gentleman in cabal-
istic way, and remarked that "fork was
the word.' We beg to impress upon our
moneyed people the wisdom involved in
this laconic sentence. Now is the time
to show that Los Angeles has inherited
Los Angeles herald., 1892-01-18

CoTToN has taken terrible tumble.
The decline in the price in one day was
over dollar bale, the total decline of
the last week being $3.50 bale. A re-
cent dispatch Gays:
"Cotton has dropped to the lowest
prices in its history. For months, it is
said, current prices have been below
the cost OF production. The crop esti-
mates have been pushed up to 5000, 900
or $500, 600 bales, the largest on rec
ord, and the receipts at southern sea-
board cities have been unusually heavy
for long time.
"rhe speculation at the south has
been extensive, and to some extent
reckless. Many of the spectators have
left their brokers to bear the losses, and
the banks have found it necessary to
call in their loans"
A New York paper, commenting on
this, declares that it will be a good
thing, in the long run, to scatter the
cheap cotton abroad, as the large export
orders now look like doing Make cot
ton goods so cheap that every savage
shall take to shirts and you will have a
new market that is SO much needed.
There is much possible truth in this
latter remark.

to split all the crop. 1t was slow
process. Every apricot or peach bad to
be cut in half by hand, and it was found
impossible to get enough help to do this
to keep pace with the other departments
in the drying process. With the Burns
machine boy can feed hopper, and
the fruit is taken in cups running in an
endless chain to the knives that split
the fruit as it passes, and then it is car
ried to receptacle where the pieces are
dropped and the pit falls into waste
basket. The machine works smoothly,
and its practical success has been fully
and satisfactorily demonstrated. Mr..
Burnsis to be congratulated upon having
invented machine that will prove OF
inestimable value to our fruit-growers.
