WANTED, A SIGNAL SERVICE.

Just at present the signal service fore
cast published every morning is just too
big nuisance to be tolerated. For
three days the forecast has bean rain
for Southern California" but not drop
has fallen. 1t seems to be an era OF
false prophets.
Just now the signal service work is
run from San Francisco, 480 miles dis
tant from this place. by man named
Pague, who is just from Portland, Ore.,
which is 722 miles still further away.
Oregon is the most humid in climate of
all the American states, while Southern
California has dry and wet season. So
what man from Oregon can possibly
know about weather in country like
this, is not altogether clear.
Portland is not larger city than
Los Angeles, even with her absorption
of East Portland, Sellwood, Albina and
st. Johns in 1891. Her newspapers are
always claiming greater population
doubtful. Yet Portland has had sig
nal service first class station for the past
fourteen years. Los Angeles should
have one likewise. She has the greater
bona tide population OF the two, and is
quite as far advanced in the matter OF
domestic manufactures. She pays
quite as much duties and more internal
revenue tax to the support of the fed
eral government, and has not Struggled
in near as much opium from China.
Hence if either place is entitled to a
signal service Office at the cost of the
other, that place should be Los Angeles
Just as the matter stands, the predic-
tions sent out from the San Francisco
office as being applicable to this city are
not only humorous but absolutely farci-
cal. The same climatic environ.
ments that would produce rain
in a semi-British climate like that
OF the Webfoot metropolis, are
wholly inapplicable to the existence oil
rain hereabouts. OF course. Mr.. Pague
can go on from one day to another pre-.
dieting: Rain, cooler weather and
fresh westerly winds" for Southern Cal
itornia; and when it comes, he can
throw himself back on his dignity and
exclaim: Didn't told you so?"

peka, and W. W. Green of Alexander &
Green, attorneys OF New York. The
meeting was preliminary to suit to be
brought in the United States circuit
court tomorrow to bring about change
of policy. There has been a feeling Of
dissatisfaction among the general mort.
gage bond holders of the 'Frioco com
pany ever since receivers were appointed
for the Atchison and Frisco. They say
it is impossible for the receivers to
handle both properties fairly. They want
to take the property out of the jurisdiction

United States Trust company of New
York, who represents the general mort
gage bond holders, will appear before
Judge Caldwell and ask him to remove
the existing receivers and give the
Frisco company separate and distinct
receivers. They will also aek that the
receivers of the Frisco be placed within
the jurisdiction OF the state courts, and
they want the receivers to pay hall
years interest due January l, 1894. on
the general mortgage bonds. They will
ask that these mortgages be foreclosed.

THE DEADLOCK IN THE HOUSE,.

The scandalous scenes that almost
daily occur in the house Of representa-
tives would be disgrace to any DELHI
erative body. The Bland seigniorage
bill is fought by every device known to
parliamentary tactics. For over a week
that bill has been before the house, but
vote upon it has been successfully
STAYED of by the rule which enables men,
bers to occupy their seats and refuse to
vote. By parliamentary fiction, which
the rules recognize as legitimate, these
non-voters are presumed to be absent,
and therefore detract from those present
and voting sufficient number to make
up quorum. At the last session OF
congress Speaker Reed put an end to
this kind of flibustering by enforcing
the rule that all present, whether they
answer to their names or not, shall be
counted. But his ruling was We
hemently denounced inside and outside
of congress by Democrats. There was
such intense feeling about this ruling
of Reed that he was stigmstized as the
czsr. 1t is very true that this rule en-
ables the speaker to lord it over the
house. All he has to do is to glance
over the house and determine by his
own count whether there is quorum
or not. Such rule is liable to abuse;
there are times, however, when it
would work sdvsntageously. But the
Democrats have so severely stigmstized
1T that they cannot be brought to
adopt it. Yet here is case in
which there should be some rule
adopted that will break a persistent
factional deadlock Those who are
opposed to the Bland bill are evidently
in the minority or they would let it
come to vote. If Speaker Crisp cannot
find other means to break the deadlock,
he should have nerve enough to face the
music and adopt the plan that was so
successfully carried out by Reed. What
does it matter if, to pursue such course.
it would justify the charge of incon-
sistency? The man lie but fool who |

SENATOR WHITE has made strong
speech sustaining the president in his
Hawaiian policy. We have no obiec-
ton to Senator White approving the
outrageous policy of Cleveland in the
island matter. But if he wants to vim
dictate the president he steps farther in
that way than the president does him
self, for Cleveland has made clear
bsck-down from his original position on
that question. Senator White says in
his speech that his attitude on the
Hawaiian imbroglio is that of his con-
stituents. Here he is greatly mistaken.
Public opinion in this state is largely in
favor Of the provisional government. In
popular vote that might be taken on
this question, the provisional govern
ment's majority would be overwhelm-
ing, whilst that against it could be truly
put down as scattering.

were threatened with heaped hamper

their horses. On reaching the Hollen-
beck hotel in Los Angeles the tired ex-
cursionists were upbraided with being

the reply.
Come; the turkey is getting cold."
They came.

This is q sample of Southern Califor-

Even the city OF Mexico rendered its

the party in their Car for O days whirl

That trip through San Bernardino,
Cotton, Highland, Redlands and River
side was another never to be forgotten.
AT Highland, while the excursionists
were out on 10 minute drive among
the orange orchards, their car was cap
tured by fair invaders and decorated on
the interior from end to end with
branches laden with luscious navel or
anges, as well as with dates, palms,
grape fruit and flowers. The car re-
manned a bower all the rest OF the trip.
At Redlands the reception was re-
pested, and a dinner served. At River
side again carriages were awaiting the
party, and they we're carried through
old orange orchards and
driven for miles along the famous Mag
