A LITTLE frankness with the public
would not hurt Director General De
Young and his associates. The title
"Midwinter Fair is most taking one,
and it is doubtless with view to hang
ing on to il that the fiction is kept up
that the fair will be inauguarated by
the first of January. Ths inaugural ex-
ercises will be gone through with, OF
course; but, as a matter OF fact, the
real fair will not be we'll under way un
til the first of February. The weather
will be advanced as the excuse for this
delay. but there has not been time to do
the work in. 1t is marvel that, under
the circumstances, so much has been
done in the brief period since the pro.
ject was conceived. Every one at this
season OF the year expected the rains,
and they were allowsd for. Our
own Southern California building ie
quite backward, but this was to be
expected. In the first place great
many preliminaries had to be arranged
between the different counties, and for
long time it was doubtful as to pre-
cieely what kind of an exposition we
should make. But now that all mis-
Understandings have been removed we
should aim to make up for lost time.
Above all things it should be borne ip
mind that the character of our exhibit
is everything. That ought to be made
nonpareil. 1t is pleasant to know that
all these details are in competent hand.
and that men thoroughly familiar with
the workings OF the Chicago fair are tc
superintend the display of Southern
California. The great throngs need
scarcely be expected at the Palm City
short of February, and by that time oul
building should surely be ready.

THB NEW YEARS HERALD.

On New Years day the HERALD will
get out notably fine edition, with a
view to it's availability for circulation
at the Midwinter Fair. 1t will be the
largest daily paper ever issued in
Southern California, and, with two ex.
ceptions, tAe 'arSeat ever issued west of
the Rocky mountains. 1t will be pro-
fuRely i,lustre ted, and will be full OF in.
tereeting and reliable statistics. 1t will
also be the largest edition OF any daily
paper ever issued in the state outside OF
San Francisco. Its desirability rs an
advertising medium can therefore be
appreciated. Tens of thousands of this
publication will be circulated at the
Midwinter Fair, rsny OF our public
spirited citizens having subscribed lib
orally towards that end. The advan-
tages to the advertiser and to those
having real estate to sell of a place in
the columns of the New Years HERALD
can be appreciated at glance. We
have still some space at the service of
our advertisers, but it should be applied
for at once.

did advise their people to disregard the
law. and that they all obeyed the Six
Companies rather than the law OF the
United States. It is case of emporium
IN imperio, and it is quite time that the
people of this country knew little
more about that concern. Is it So
cisl, political, commercial or religious
organization We know that it per-
tsins to the Chinese race only, and so
far as appears. all Chinese belong to the
organization. or are subject to its con-
troll. We have seen the whole race OF
Chinese laborers in this country obey or
disobey law Of the United States Just
as they were directed by the Six Com
psnies. An act of our congress goes for
nothing, if such happens to be the edict
Of the Six Companies. They are in au-
thority paramount to congress, go far as
concerns that race. The wisdom of per-
mitting such a condition of things in
this country is extremely doubtful.
This acknowledged allegiance Of the
laborers to the Six Companies is one OF
the strongest reasons why we should
rid ourselves of the whole race OF
Chinese.

THEATRICAL MATTERS.

Los ANGELES THEATER -Theater-goers
are undoubtedly preparing themselves
Tor another feast in the amusement line,
for the announcement that Mr.. Charles
Dickson and his company of players will!
appear in repertory, commencing to-
night, is guarantee to them that they
will have the benefit of an excellent per
formance. The play which Mr.. Dickson
will this time present for their delecta-
tion ia Admitted to the Bar, four-act
dramatic comedy, and has met with
great success wherever it has been seen.
On Friday night Mr.. Dickson will be
seen in another new play, entitled The
Bridegroom. He has kept the produc-
ton OF this play for Los Angeles az &
mark OF his appreciation OF the kind
mesa with which our theater-goers have
heretofore received his efforte. 1t is
said to be remarkably funny play, thu
plot of which reHts upon the efforts OF
young man, Willie Fyrbelew, to get
himself married to a girl he has never
seen in order to spite the girl he loves,
she having told, him upon his declara-
tion that she was betrothed to another
lie later, however, discovers that she
has broken off her engagement with the
other fellow and endeavors to extricate
himself fr m the dilemma in which he
is now entangled.
The situations accruing are said to be
numerous and humorous, the lines
might and sparkling and the character
cations liielike to a degree.
Mr.. Dickson's engagement will con
clude Saturday night with the presents-

"It is more blessed to give than to receive, :"
so we arc told, and never do we appreciate 1t
more than at Christmas time. But the full
incoming of the adage comes home to us about
the evening OF Christmas day. Then is deliv-

home to Us that. through some mistake, we
hare forgotten to send this same friend any re-

sackcloth and ashes. Verify, it is more blessed
to give than to receive.
Luckily, custom has given us a loophole by
which we can escape the modification Of hav-
ing received without giving. We can purchase
something during the week bstween Christmas
and New Years and send il as present on the
latter day.

Those OF our farmers who have had
the prudence to plough and SOW earl,
will make crop il not even another
drop of rain were to fall. Many east
erners are not aware of the singular
spontaneity of the soil here, which
makes late rains, even though scan
ones, better guarantee for a crop than
intermittent heavy downpours. In Los
Angeles the real danger to a crop is no
in the eparse rainfall 60 much as in pre-
mature rains, which start the grass and
grain, and which may not be renewed in
time to carry on vegetation. In such
seasons the sl6lerills, our natural grass
rots, the dry feed is spoiled while the

NIGHT before last the people OF Lo:
Angeles had an opportunity of enjoying
a thunderstorm. 1t was of the genuine
eastern variety, and the majestic rever-

During a residence of twenty years here
we have never seen such close ap-
prosch to an eastern storm. Daring
that long period we have heard thunder
in the mountains half dozen times, but
never where it impressed itself as being
right at our ear. 1t is circumstance
perhaps not generally known that in the
higher mountains OF the Sierra Madre
range rainstorms, accom- panied by light
ming and thunder, are common at all
seasons of the year. This will be one o.
the fascinating features of trip to Mt.
