LONG BEACH ITEMS.
Warm weather-PoIitical Matters--Local
Affairs.


LONG BEACH, Oct. 3.-The weather
has, if possible, been hotter today than
yesterday. The tide was very low both
morning and afternoon, and, unlike the
last few weeks, the temperature of the
water was much higher, and bathing
was accordingly more enjoyable. 1t is
safe to say that if the present weather
continues the crowds of people from the
interior will return.
j. r. Rush of Ell Monte, candidate for
public administrator, will address the
peope here tonight on behalf of the
Peoples party. 1t is said OF Mr.. Rush
that he is brim full of statistics and al
ways has an answer for any question
that may be put TO him, and he does
not deal in personalities, but speaks In
a purely logical and convincing manner.
The much needed and much asked for
change in the mail carrying hours was
at last made this afternoon. Hereafter
the Southern Pacific railroad will bring
| the mail direct to the town, and the peo-
Pile will not be imposed upon by the
| idiotic squeamishness of the postal au-
thorities at Washington. The system OF
carrying the mail in a cart to and from
the junction, when the train got here an
hour ahead of the cart, was in keeping
with the methods generally pursued by
| Pious John and his hirelings. Postmas-
ter Van Duzen, of Los Angeles, con-
demned the slow coach way as soon as
he heard Of it, and it is due probably to
his efforts that the welcome change has
been made. 1t should never have been
tolerated at first.
