ENOUGH OF CoBLRh.

1t 10 q very fortunate thing for the
grand jury of Los Angeles county that
an individual named AL Cobler liz in ex-
istence. That body first distinguished
itself by finding ak indictments against
this poor devil, and now it follows with
seven moro. There is danger of Alps be-
ing made a scapegoGt, and OF being COM
PEELED to carry the sins of his fellows
into the wilderness. 1t is evidently a
poor day that does not bring forth an in
dictment or two against Cobler. Mean
while the public ia buried in profound
thought as to the reason why all the at
tention of this honorable body appears
to be directed against one man, aud that
a very humble one. 1t must be borne
in mind that Cobler's official superior
has made good his deficit. and that thus
there is comparatively little utility in
ehowing all this zeal against him. He
is generally looked upon by those who
know him as a rather inoffensive fellow,
whom it is scarcely worth while to take
seriously. Why does not the grand
jury go for some OF the conspicuous
Jobs in the educational and other
departments OF the city government
which have, from time to time, been
exploited in the columns of the HERALD
Why don't they take up some OF the
indictments found by their predecessors,
which were allowed to fall through by
the decision of Los Angeles court.
muttudes of Angeleflos being of
opinion that the technical defects were
purposely contrived to bring about a
complaisant decision. There ia no use
of trying to persuade this community
that Al Cobler is the only man smongst
US who has done anything naughty.
There are people who are far deeper in
the mire than AL Cobler is In the mud,
if common rumor is to be credited.
Cobler and couple of trifling real
estate men do not engross all the wrong
doing OF this community, we assure the
grand jury. The common hope of all
Angelenos is that that body will let 20

AN AMUSING ASPECT OF rHs FAIa.

1t is highly amusing to an outsider to
note the play Of humor in the San
Francisco press anent the midwinter
fair. When all is said and done, Mr.. M.
H. de Young in q moment OF inspira-
tion, conceived the idea of transplant
ing certain features Of the Chicago
Columbian fair to San Francisco, and
piecing them out by local exhibits. The
proprietor Of the Chronicle played the
game with free and bold hand, and ii
our opinion he has won, and with great
eclat. He brought about for San
Francisco the next thing to the dis
eovery of a new bonanza on the scale of
the Consolidated Virginia--Oaliforni
order.
Having conceived this happy ides,
Mr.. M. II. de Young started in to work
1t out with bis customary energy, and
soon the whole coast saw what a capital
scheme it was. Instead of the whole
daily press of San Francisco being under
the control of Mr.. de Young, according
to the fanciful notion of Mr.. McEwen,
VIZ HhOAo OoAAl PACEp Va 6hu II lhuClbCOy
with perhaps ons exception, is very
much opposed to that gentleman, and
would gladly see him in the deep bosom
of the ocean buried. No love is lost be-
tween the controllers OF the daily news
papers of San Francisco. On the con-
trary quite the reverse.
The first and most fashionable thing
to say of the midwinter fair WAS that it
could not possibly be a pscuniary sue
cess. For a while, owing to the un-
toward weather, and the crowding OF too
much work together, which made the
exposition look incomplete and disap.
pointing for a time, this looked likely.
However, as soon as the weather cleared
up, and the exhibit improved in char
aCter and completeness, there was de-
cided change. and the prospects foraan
agreeable account render improved, and
then began the clsmor for reduction in
the price of admission.
Now we should not wish to think
that this cry was raised with a view
to confirming the Oassandra-like out
givings OF portion Of the San Francisco
press. If the admissions had been re-
duced to two bits it is hard to resist the
conclusion that the daily receipts would
be grossly inadequate to assure a satis-
factory pecuniary outcome. As a com
promise the Director General and his
associates have adopted the plan OF
making special rates for special occa-
sions. For instance, on st. Patrick's
Day and at other times the admission to
the fair has been placed at twentv-fUa
cents.
AS the case stands to-day the attend
ance is steadily on the up grade, and the
future OF the fair as financial PROPOSE
tion is improving as the weeks 60 by.

WE FIND that the sentiment is almost
universal In Southern California that
the fight between the lion Parnell and
the great California grizzly bear ought
to be allowed to proceed. Psrnell has
already filled the measure of his in
iquities; and, if the grizzly should do
him up, every one would be delighted.
While, on the other hand, should the
grizzly be knocked out, no particular
harm would be done. Neither Of these
animals has been known to be specially
amiable. and it would be charity instead
of cruelty to animals to get either Of

THE falling off of European immigra-
ton to the United States tells the story
of destitution in this country in very
eloquent shape. The young and stall
wart republic of the new world appears
all at once to have become as pregnant a
hive of misery as any of the old world
effete monsrchies. This would be a
capital time to limit immigration to this
country for period OF ten years. That
would be just long enough to allow our
people to become homogeneous. At
the end of that time we could legislste
intelligently on the proposition.

due to the names of residents just out

our opinion, that shows how very level
