7 ESSEX. Oct 13-The town of Old Say brook will hold meeting in a few days to rescind a vote recently passed appropriate ing money for building lookup. Since the vote was passed the sentiment of the town has changed greatly and now the ma jority of people believe that the erection of building for the retention of violators of the law would cast odium on the puri- tanical town It iS seldom that the need of such building is felt in Old Saybrook, and the people believe that a community as orderly and law-abiding as theirs can get along without it.

STONES FROM GLASS HOUSES.

The San Francisco Chronicle is showing
apparently an inspired disregard for the
interests OF Southern California, notwith-
standing the fact, that on the action of
this part of the state really depends the
succese CT its proprietor's pet scheme,
tanned yirulent and baselesa attack on
the Vanderbilt mining district, which
it is expected will be a mcst important
commercial adjunct to this city, and
lately the same paper, it is rumored,
hae sent man here to attack some OF
our most important local interests, be-
cause they were, in a business way,
connected with San Francisco fnan-
cial institution against which the Chron-
icle hae unaffected considerable enmity.
Los Angeles, and Southern California
people generally, will not consider such
action in an amiable way. In fact they
would feel much like retaliating if the
way was pointed out, and it probably
has been very fair to this part
OF the state, and it cannot adopt less
profitable policy than to antagonizs our
interests without cause. We are we'll
aware that the prosperity of this part of
the ntate cannot be affected by anything
that the northern papers can say against
us. Our growth and progress in popu-
lation, industries and affluencs are based
upon conditions OF too solid character
to be injured by adverse criticiem, but
the animus of gratuitous attack upon
any special in crest becomes at once ap-
parent and tends to widen the breach
of amity that snbsists between the two
sections. Il ls not wise nor Is it profit
able for any San Francisco paper to
enter upon this kind OF warfare at pres
ent. We are in fine condition to receive
blows, but we are in a much better con
dition TO give them.
