EDITOR HERALD: -Mayne's marvellous
memory makes manifest much malodor-
olls and mendacious merry-making and
money-making among the auriferous and
argentiferous officials of san Diego.
l am one of those who believe that
Mayne has given evidence that his story-is
a true one, that the official atmosphere Of
San Diego was and is sadly polluted by
the presence of some of the most pestifer-
GUS of the bipeds that were ever driven
away from the cities of the east. Wayne
has simply pointed out one of the big rat
holes into which the hard-earned coin of
the public has been dragged by the foul
rodents that inhabit the dens.
What part of the $2,00O,OOO of which
the taxpayers OF this county are annually
mulcted is supposed to find it's way into
similar ratholes? Must we raise another
million year to avoid the disgrace of
leaving our dead paupers uncovered in the
cum till they are tiyblown and then bury
ing them naked? Must we squander q
few millions more in the vain:effort to see
friends OF the late paupers to cover their
bodies does really cover their bodies, and
does not amble about as the new garments
OF attaches of county institutions?
As we cannot save enough out of our
$2,OOO,OOO tax fund to buy winding sheets
tons concerning the whereabouts of the
ratholes and the identity of the rats.

To Nondescript Scribblers:
j. IL. B.-Your advice as to the manage
ment OF this column is rejected without
thanks.
If this column were for your special
benefitit would serve you better in the
form of paper Cruel dish.
Advice costs nothing, and is never worth
half the price.
w. II. L.-f our commentator was alto
gether too dear. l read your whole etistIe
in the vain hope that YOU might have had
something to say, and had concealed it in
the mass OF stuff you wrote. You have a
striking resemblance to the average nonde-
script, who thinks he agrees with a writer
and tries to prove it by the infliction of a
manuscript volume. which he hopes will
have one reader, at least.
Anything further from your goosequill
will be burnt at sight
j.. F.-You cannot enter this column
while l have the key. You mistake as to
our agreeing. have no right to agree
with you or anybody else; nor have YOU
any right to agree with me.
h. o. am not here as q critic of
manuscript, but will say that until your
English is of style more commonly an.
proved and less commonly practced yo,rr
effusions will be priceless by being without
price.
r. S.-lf you cannot commend without
lecturing, please keep quiet.
!. ST. think you would better keep quiet
anyhow, without running the risk of
failure.
G. B.-Your story is good one and will
be used as soon as verify the facts for
my own signature.
r. A.-As stated before, this is my own
advertising section. If you have any rights
here am victim of mistaken identity.
At present | seem to be yours very truly.
