CRYING EVILS-WlLL THEY EVER BB
RRDRRSSRD?

1t is to be hoped that some profound
and analy tical genius will write treatise
upon the origin, progress and habitudes
OF professional ofice-seekers. This guild
in che United States is more NUMEROUS
and destructive than the locusts of
Egypt. Their number is legion, and
they are increasing in a geometrical
ratio. Cropping around in the writings
OF the fathers of the Republic we occa-
Rionally encounter such expressions as
''the Office should seek the man, not
the man the Office Then there ia
that other expression, popularized, not
created, by President Cleveland, which
runs, Public Office is public trust"
How utterly unsuited these aphorism q
are to the present day. when the Office
seeker is 80 numerous, 60 adroit and go
constantly on hand that, when any
thing in the official line is to be dis
pensed, we may say of him. as was said
OF the poet. he is ''born. not ma de. 1"
That he is calculated to excite terror by
his greed, numbers and various gifts.
goes without saying.
The United States are unique amongst
nations for the rapidity and splendors Of
their growth, but they have advanc ed
at snail's pace compared to the seven
league boots' march of the office-holder.
For the sake of comparison we might
cay that ii the growth OF the states
since 1888 has been on an arithmetical,
that OF the place'hunter has been on
geometrical ratio. If the tendency is
not checked, half of our population will

TIE BUSINESS MARCH OF LOS ANGELES.

The way in which business houses are
spreading in this city is astonishing. 1t
may now be said that Broadway has de-
veloped into fine business street from
north OF First to Seventh. There are
numbers of fine residences still standing
their ground in that stretch; but the
encroachment of large business blocks
proceeds rapidly. The Vogel block, at
the southwest corner of Seventh and
Broadway, just finished, is a very fine
addition to the store buildings of the
latter street, and marks, for the present,
the southern extremity of the business
march on that superb street. Bradbury
block will soon be finished and occu-
pied and this great and beautiful build
ing will give another impetus to busi-
ness improvements on Broadway. Ex
cavations for fine block at the south.
east corner Of Fourth etreet and Broad
way have been begun, and the promise
is that before another year elapses this
will become lively business corner.
Since Mr.. Stimson put up his fine
block at the northeast corner OF Spring
and Seventh streets there has been great
activity in rebuilding the intervening
spaces from Fourth street, and a num-
ber OF fine store blocks have taken the
place of the old residence houses.
Spring street, from Temple block clear
to Seventh is now lively business
street, and it will not be long before its
entire length from Main street at the
north to its junction with Main street
again at its southern extremity will be
lined with stores on Doth sides.
The setback which the business por.
ton Of Main street received several
years ago has been overcome, and that
popular thoroughfare is again assuming
the pre-eminence it 30 long maintained
az our leading business street. This
has doubtless been brought about by
the liberal erection CT fine blocks all
along its line, nearly to Sixth street.
Toe new theater which DR.. Burbank is
bnilding between Fifth and Sixth streets
will undoubtedly give a new impulse to
the march OF business in that part of
the street. When we return to that
portion of Main street which was in the
dnmps few years ago, the evidences of
great business revival are clearly mani
fest. There are no more lively business
blocks in the city than those on both sides
OF the street from Commercial street to
Fourth, and for block farther on the
east side. Such elegant new blocks as
the Mcdonald, the Roeder, the Sam
Hsllman. and others. have done much
to bring lhe and business back to this
fine street. The new Turner building
will be another attractive addition, and
will undoubtedly incite the owners OF
other lots on the block to make hand
come business improvements.
Whilst these longitudinal stree ts are
extending their business character with
astonishing celebrity, we must not forget
that all the latitudinsl streets are also
filling up with new business houses ::
nor should we lose eight of the fact that
Los Angeles street-is keeping pace with
the rest OF the business portions of the
city in becoming tAcroughisre in which
tie Wholesale houses Of Los Angeles are
rapidly multiplying.

E in time ofics-holders either in esss or

be in time office-holders either in esse OF
in posse.
Ii this plague OF office-holders and
ofice-seekers had taken possession of the
people OF Israel in the old days the
ancients and the wise men and the
prophets would have seized the horns OF
the altar and would have beseeched the
Lord God of Gods for a surcesse OF the
intolerable evil. But Americans have
never bethought them of the efficacy OF
prayer in this connection. They have
seemed to accept it as the inevitable,
and to have submitted to it with the
blind and mute helplessness with which
the Hindoo allowed the car of Jugger-
naut to roll over him. If the tendency
is not checked soon every five citizens
will be obliged to pack loafer to whose
patronymic some tag with an official
designation upon it will be tackled. This
looks like exaggerstion, but there is
more truth than poetry about it. OF the
official losfer there is absolutely no end.
And he is omnipresent, and ramifies
from the capital OF the nation down
to the modest township. Whenever
little community shows signs Of progress
the office-holding guild mark it for
their own. Every one remem bers how
quickly the phenomenal growth of Los
Angeles was marked by the still more
phenomenal growth of the office-holding
guild. Splendid palaces were erected
to house these officials. Supernumer-
aries grew with the rapidity of Jonah's
gourd; or, to vary the simile. they ex-
panded like the mustard seed of Christ's
parable. Taxes were piled up like
very Pelion upon Ossa, and rose even to
Chimborazo heights. The owner of
property realized in the bitterness of
his soul that there was an open question
as to whether it was. after all. such
good thing to own real estate and to be
forehanded.
Aad yet the taxpayer submits to 1t
all with great pstience-with lamb-like
docility, in truth. The fact that it takes
nearly four times as much to get certain
work done in the assessors Office in Los
AuSClcn db blc ehIu6 WOTk IL uOuo IOI III
the same Office in Alameda county,
even fails to rouse him to indignation,
not to say resistance. Bills are pre-
sented for junketing trips with hardi-
hood that would shame the passivity of
brass monkey, and the courts them
selves are invited to lend their process
to compel the depletion of the city treas
ury. School and library boards seem to
vie with each other as to which can
make the most impudent demands. And
still there is no liberty bell to summon
the people to insurrection against the
unbrldled rapscity of placemen
The only shred of comfort that we can
discern is in the existence of the Citi-
zens' Taxpayers Reform association. II
these gentlemen apply themselves in
earnest to their self-appointed mission
there is some chance of the evils under
which we suffer being abated. They
have put their hands to the plough and
pray God they speed it to the goal of
municipal and county reform!

Sudden Death of Charles Goodrich of
Deering.

The public was very much surprised
yesterday to hear of the sudden death of
Mr.. Charles Goodrich of Deering, which
occurred in this way: Mr.. Good
rich's house, which is a very large
one, is lighted by gasolene, which is
generated in tank, set six feet in the
earth in the yard. About $50 o'clock
Saturday Mr.. Goodrich. as is his
usual custom, went out to the tank, to
reach which he had to go down through
trap door. Not appearing after short
time, his family became alarmed, and
on going out were at once assaulted by
strong odor of escaping gas. Looking
down into the well they saw Mr.. Good
rich in sitting position, his head
dropped on his breast and apparently
lifeless Their screams attracted the
attention of Capt. Subbs, neighbor, who
with the assistance Of a field hand got
the body from the well.
Dr. Topliff was hastily summoned and
every effort made to resuscitate Mr.. Good
r1CQ, DuU all 0uOrlS W6TS lTulll6SS. DuT-
ing this time those present were nearly
overcome by the pungent odor of the
gas escaping from the tank. Mayor
Sawyer was called, and after consulta-
ton with DR.. Topliff deemed an inquest
unnecessary.
Mr.. Goodrich was born in Naples, and
moved to Deering about 80 years ago.
His wealth was estimated at about $780,,
600, made mostly is the real estate and
railroad business. He leaves widow,
two daughters and two sons. Of the
sons, Charles Goodrich, Jr., lives at
home, and is a travelling man. The
other, Benjamin, is connected with the
Baltimore Shore Line railroad at Balti-
more.
1t is thought that while in the well
Mr.. Goodrich found some trouble and
before he could remedy it was overcome
by the fumes of the gas.
