Mr.. Stewards suggestion, inspired as
it is by desire to facilitate the progress
OF the city, and based on good business
principles, ehould be pushed with all
possible vigor. Ii Los Angeles county
only had congressman-but as it has
none, other methods must be used to
accomplish the desired result. Forum
ately, this place has some friends in
Washington; Senator FELTON, and one or
two of the northern congressman have
shown interest in our welfare in the
past, and might be brought to advocate

ASUB-TREAsURY FOR LOS ANGELES.

General Manager George H. Stewart,
of the Los Angeles Clearing House, in
his annual report to that important
body at it's annual meeting on Tuesday,
made number of excellent remarks,
one of which is deserving of becoming
the subject of concerted action On the
part of all influences interested in the
progress of the city. Mr.. Stewart rec
ommends the establishment at this
place OF United States sub-treasury,
which he argues would result in econ

transaction of it's affairs.
AS things are now large extent OF
territory, comprising Southern Califor-
MIA, Arizona, and New Mexico, is with

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Los Angeles theater this and
tomorrow evening that popular drama,
The Stowaway, will be the attraction.
This play is an exemplification of the
old saying as to the survival of the fittest.
Whether the key to its popularity lies
mostly in it's thrilling plot, in the splen-
did scenic effects, in it's realistic yacht
and safe blowing features, or in the good
management which has never presented
the play with poor company, it would
be hard to tell. All of these count, and
sometimes single deficiency makes the

The great pacing race OF yesterday
may have brought modification to some
Orange county homes, but it was the
legitimate consequence OF letting fact
horse, with mere nominal prepara-
tion, go against others nearly as fast
and good deal better seasoned to their
work. The sporting scribe of the HERALD
says That with any proper driving Silk
wood should have won, even in his pres
ent soft condition. The stories in cir
culation last night about his being poi
soned are merely absurd. The two first
heats Of that race will about poison
anybody's horse.

A REPUBLICAN supervisor indicates the
economy (the Lord save the mark J OF
the conduct of the existing county gov
ernment by showing that the tax rate is
not SO large now as it was under some
of the old Democratic administrations
There's richness for you! 1t would be
magnificent feat in finance if the super
visors OF county which had only $780,
600, ,OO0 of assessable property could show
as low tax rate as when they had $50,
600, 900 of tax-foll to draw
upon. In 1882 the valuation of this
county was 500, ,916 ,S35, and the tax rate
$1.4O. In 1892 the valuation reaches
$50 ,0OO, 600, and the tax rate is $1.45 on
the one hundred dollars. Ought there
to be four times as much money ex-
pended now as rhere was in 1882? We
are running the county at an expense of
a million dollars and over annually.
What the taxpayers want is that this
vast sum, much of which is squandered,
should be very materially reduced. They
know from sad experience that there is
no hope for relief from the present Law
ish regime, so they turn towards the
Democratic party as the organization
that will give them efficient and econom-
ical government. The Unsuitable tax
eaters must go!
