BLAINE AND SHIPBUILDING.

But for the "plumed knight" of Re.
publicanism who died last year, the
United States would have had free iron
at least ten years ago; and even had
Blaine represented anything but the
once great shipbuilding state of Maine,
the reduction on ship iron plate would
have come before his defeat for the
presidency by Cleveland.
Blaine was for Maine, first, last and
all the time. Her shipyards were his
special solicitude, and his keen eye
foresaw the day coming when the Della
ware and the bay of San Francisco
should contain the largest shipyards of
America, with a possibility of couple
OF yards somewhere on the great lakes,
to all of which the yards of the Pine
Tree state must necessarily play second
fiddle. Like all men of his party, he
waved the bloody shirt" and ascribed
the decadence of American tonnage on
the high seas to the ravages of the
"Alabams" and other Anglo-confederat
cruisers, whereas it WAS due to the fact
that the high duty on shipbuilding
material, and our navigation laws, had
paralyzsd the business OF shipbuilding.
Americas loss of ocean traffic was &C.
celebrated by the legislation by which
the public lands were given as subsidies
to railway corporations. The Aspin-
walls, Kermits and men OF the first
half century who made New York the
great commercial city of this continent,
saw that their sons were not equal to
the exigencies they themselves had
mastered. And so they took their
moneys out of the ships and invested
them in the bonds of transcontinental
railways; and the great ocean coursers
80 famous in the days of 40. the Ocean
Queen, the Flying Cloud and the An
drew Jackson, rotted to pieces at the
docks.
Another cause of the decline was the
way in which American underwriters
allowed the British and German insur-
snce men to dictate all the terms, and
place lower rate, both on ships and
cargoes, for iron ships over wooden
ones. The number of iron ships that
disappear and are never heard of, is five
times the number OF wooden ones, but
the American underwriters could see
nothing but "the mighty dollar" and

ADJUSTMENTS.

Los ANGELES THEATER.-A large and
Los Angeles theater upon the occasion
of the concert given by Mrs. Johanna
and Mr.. Josef Rubo and their pupils.
The concert was an exceptionally enjoy
able one, albeit the programme was
quite long one. Yet so promptly were
the numbers carried along, that it was
not yet II O'Clock when the last one was
given. The pupils all showed the
polish which their accomplished teach
ers have given them, and the evening
was most delightfully."- spent by the
spectators.
Although the numbers were all rem
dered in admirable style. there were
some which called forth enthusiastic
applause. Madame Rubo was recalled
after q beautiful rendition of an aria
from Katherine Cornaro, ae was Miss
Josefa Tolhurst, after an aria from Obe-
ron, which she sang with such admirR-
BILE voice and execution 80 to place her
easily among the leading singers of the
city. She sang The Maid of Dundee
most exquisitely, for an encore.
An aria from Linda di Chamounix by
Miss Catherine Colette was most charm
ingly sung. She has voice exceedingly
sweet and clear, and q countenance in.
stinct with joyousness which put her en-
rapport with the audience at once.
Among other numbers deserving especial
mention, were those by Herr Rubo,
Miss Anna Brandt, Miss Ada Stocker,
Miss Emma Schnabel, Miss Catherine
Scudder, and qusrtette by Miss Toll
hurst, Madame Rubo, Arnold Kutner
and Herr Rubo. The choruses we're
very finely givep.
The accompanies were Mrs. Kutner
and Prof. Wilde.
The programme was as follows:
Chorus, Spring Song o. ermann.

HOW ARE YOUR EYES?
The Science of the Modern
Eyeglass.
The Finished Product tho Growth of
Ages-why spectacles Should BE
Fitted to the Eyes as
Shoe to the Foot.

An eyeglass is little thing but hardly any
product OF ages. You can't take piece of
window-pane and make glass that will fit
your eyes. They are not made of blown glass,
in fact, not of glass at alt. As a rule they are
made of rock crys ais, or "pebbles," ana you
will notice that. while all eyeglass lenses are
spherical or cylindrical in shape, yet the sur
faces are not all alike. some are prisms, some
are pi. conesve, some bi-convex and some con-
cavo.convex. The first lens invented for the
use of the eyes was the convex. This discov-
cry is attributed to Roger Bacon and belongs
to the close of the thirteenth century. Con-
cave glasses came along in the fourteenth CEN
fury, and Improvements have been mad G from
that time down TO q comparatively recent
period. 1t is an error in refraction of the
eye that causes us to ear glasses, and these
errors are as numerous as their causes The
most common are near-'ight and far-sight.
Then there is what Is called anisomeTopis,
that is, where the refraction of the two ey,s
are unequal. Sometimes these troubles are
caused by grS dual weakening of the muscles
of the eye, and sometimes by Inflammation.
This shows us that when we wish pair of
spectacles we should have our eyes examined
and pair fitted to the needs of the sight.
That can only be done by EN- opticisn, and the
best in Los Angeles is H. H Funk, who has
charge of the optical department of M. G er-
mans Jew Try store at No. 800 South Spring

Mr.. LoNGUEMARE, the editor Of the
Bullion, which publication he has
moved to Los Angeles, in the last issue
of his paper has the following to say of
the future of our city:
Los Angeles is the natural CONNER
cial center of all Arizona, q large part Of
New Mexico, Sonora, and when rail
communication ia opened with Salt
Lake City, of much of Nevada and Utah.
1t is practicable to extend its trade to
Chihuahua and Durango. 1t needs but
cursory observation to discover that
from it's geographical position and ex-
listing and prospective transportation
facilities it is destined at an early
day to become the commercial metropo-
lis of the great Southwest. This resliza-
ton can only be postponed through q
lack OF enterprise and energy on the
part of the business men OF this city.
Such lack would belle the character
they have thus far attained, and is not
to be expected.
No one who has studied the rule that
governs great cities in their growth need
be afraid that there will be any deterio-
ration in the energy and enterprise OF
the people who will control and direct
the destinies of Les Angeles. We have
the situation and all the factors that go
to insure great city's growth. Even
if the men who are now at the helm
should deteriorate in energy, the fact
that we have the field where enterprise
ing and far-sighted men can success
fully exercise their energies will draw
to US the smsrtest city-builders in the
country, and an accession of new blood
will be constantly added to our business
community.

let the Britshers and other foreigners

American wooden built ship from the
seas and handed the coal and wheat
trade over to England.
For the past ten years few iron
hulled sailing vessels have been built
on the Delaware and at Staten Island in
New York bay, where Captain Gorringe.
of obelisk fame, established yard with
the aid and cooperation of Henry Viii
lard. The death of Gorringe, coming on
the back of Wizards failure. as it did,
closed up the Staten Island yard, but
Delaware yards have turned out some
fine steamships. The Cramps, of Phila-
delphia, have a standing offer to build a
ship of 10000 tons net, at the same
prices as the Clyde yards are paid; and
the interior woodwork for the big steam
ships New York and Paris was all done
in Cramps yard and shipped across the
ocean knocked down."
Now comes the intelligence that full
rugged ship, with steel hull and rigging,
but wooden mssts, has been launched at
a Maine shipyard. There is no lack OF
fine mechanical talent in the Pine Tree
state, and the probabilities are that
their famous wooden ships will soon be
forgotten in the triumphs that await the
clever Yankee blscksmiths. Forty years
hence the Kennebec and Penonscot will
turn out just as good iron ships as the
Clyde and Mersey; and the wooden
ships for which Blaine fought so long
and steadfsstly, will be recolleoted only
as barriers to great states progress.
