WHY NOT HAVE A CITY CENsUsq

Il would be capital stroke upon the
part of the City Council OF Los Angeles
if they were at once to take measures to
have census of this city taken and
pressed forward with the utmost haste.
1t need not be any elaborate work, the
inquiries being confined to asking the
number of inmates OF domicile. The
facts thus collected and embodied in q
little brochure, which should also con-
tain the school census, gas and water
statistics OF Los Angeles, with our
health rate as officially reported to the
State Board of Health, would make
most interesting reading to the visitors
at the Midwinter Fair. The census
correctly taken would show o most
gratifying state of facts. 1t would
demonstrate beyond the possibility OF
contradiction that the Angel City con-
tains fully eighty thousand inhabitants,
as against the 30, $50 given us by the
United States census of 1890. The fig
the whole potato yield of the States OF
California and Oregon at figure one
tenth that of the single county of Los
Angeles, did not do justice to our popu-
lation at that time. 1t was then at
least sixty thousand. But that it is
quite eighty thousand now we have no
manner OF doubt. With 3he accom-
panying data it would set at rest the
tongues of people who seem to take a
great delight in decrying Los Angeles in
season and out, some of them members
of the State Board OF Health.
Cities frequently take a census OF their
inhabitants. 1t was done quite recently
by the municipalities of New York and
st. Louis. 1t is just as likely to BIZ &C.
curate as one taken under any other cir
cumstances; and, indeed, it is more so,
and for several reasons. No political
party is interested in giving the returns
a partizan bias for such census could
not, under the laws OF California. be the
means OF affecting representation in any
manner. 1t would be also under the
scrutiny and correction of the local
authorities and OF citizens who would
zee to it that fraud was not perpetrated.
Taken in connection with the other
statistics named, the ratios usual in
cities would correct any misrepresenta-
ton, if it were supposable that any such
could be made. The state of New York
provides for a sort of intercaiary census,
which is to be taken regularly five years
after the last census of the United States;
and that being an official census, state
legislative and congressional apportion.
ments can be made under it.
The only conceivable objections against
the taking OF such q census are the ex.
pense and ths fact that the law makes
no express provision for its taking.
Neither, on the other hand, doss it for
bid it. 1t ought not to cost much; and
it could be ready. being confined TO but
one subject OF inquiry, in ten days.
Twenty men at $3 day would do the
work without sny difficulty for 5000. II
the total outlay were Jumped at $1,000
that would be an extreme figure. It's
benefit to this section could not be esti.
mated in money.
We trust the Council at its meeting
today will take UP and act upon the sug-
gestion.

JUMBO CHEWED JERRY.
A BLOODY DOG FIGHT HELD YES
TERDAY MORNING.
A Numbsr OF Sports Mako an EARLY
Morning PIigrlmags aud View
Brutal Spectacle Which is
Banned by Law.

They were not good natured, nor nice
to look at, the crowd of sports that went
over to Boyle Heights yesterday morn
ing before daylight.
They were sleepy and cross. and the
whisky which had been literally used
to keep them awake had not increased
their amiability. But in truth they
did not have any use for amiable quail
tiles, for they were bent on one Of the
most revolving, brutalizing missions that
the distorted and depraved tastes of this
class can bring about,-a dog fight.
The crowd, about $50 strong, made
their way in hacks and various vehicles
to little canon about five miles beyond
the cemetery, whore the ring was
pitched.
The two magnificent bulldogs were
then prepared for the battle. Charley
Merry's Jumbo was weighed in at 1885
pounds and Lem Burners Jerry tipped
the scales at 1927 pounds. The purse
was 5000, and about $50 was placed in
bets.
The dogs were set at each other and
crunched and tore each other for one
hour and three minutes, when Jerry had
to be taken out, being evidently beaten.
He is said to have been horrible spec
tacle, his legs being chewed up and great
pieces OF flesh being torn from his Eidee.
One of the old-time sports who was pres
ent confessed to q HERALD reporter yes
terday that the spectacle OF the poor
creatures wounds and suferings was
nausesting even to his hardened sensi-
bilitles. He said when the dogs went
into the ring they were as white as dogs
can be, but in five minutes they were
covered with blood so that they looked
to be painted red from muzzle to tip"

AMUSEMENT MATTERS.

Los ANGELES THEATER. This evening
is the opening OF the engagement of
Charles l.. Davis in his universally
famed character creation of Alvin JOS
lin, play that has been so extensively
written up in the last 10 years, and is go
we'll and favorably known in every city
of America, that extended comment
seems supsrhuous. Every body who goes
to play house has heard of or knows
Charles L. Davis, or calvin Joslin," as

A SOUTHERN Pacific official informed
us yesterday that the number of ar
rivals from the east is exceedingly large
in fact, something unapprosched since
the boom, and hardly then. The COM
pany has been obliged to store immense
quantities of household furnitu re
brought here by persons who had sup.
posed it an easy thing to secure houses.
Dwellings of an eligible class that are
unoccupied are exceedingly rare, and
this Notwithstanding the TACT that
building has been steadily very active
since the first of the year. 1t is un-
pleasant for the newcomers, but it
shows in very emphatic manner the
remarkable growth of Los Angeles.

YESTERDAY was perfect summers

in the ocean and enjoyed the placid and
pleasant waters to the top OF their bent.
As hint in hygiene we will just say
that a prominent Los Angeles lawyer
walked the eighteen miles down to
Santa Monica yesterday and wound up
with swim. He has been doing this
for some time and, as result, his health

ALL the friends of Arizona, and every
body in California is her friend, are de-
lighted at the quick wsy in which the
house of representatives passed the bill
for her admission as state. The sen-
ate, it is to be hoped, will initiate the
house in it's speedy action. Our good
wishes extend with equal cordiaity to
New Mexico, but as to Utah perhaps a

So IT appears that Lieutenant Rush
who hurried off to Hawaii the other day
in such frantic haste, was on a diplo-
matte mission to Hymen, and not to

THERE is a pretty general suspicion
amongst the knowing ones that Hawaii

men who know how to shoot, and that

Americans. They have as good right

that would be.

The approaching message of the presi-
dent on Hawaiian affairs, it is said, will
have one striking merit, viz, it will be
brief. For this and all other blessings,
good Lord, we thank thee. Prolixity
amongst public men is becoming one of
the crimes of the age, and is lamentably
on the increase. This great tendency to
