REDONDO
A Citizen Explains the Conditions Growing
Out of the Recent Election

Out of the Recent Election
The following communication from a
we'll known citizen of Redondo on the
local situation at that place is self-ex-
planatory:
Editor Herald: Many Of the prominent
citizens of Redondo are very much agi-
tated over an article appearing in your
valuable paper august 20, presumably
in reference to the trouble recently
strated in this place over the presence of
certain alleged gamblers.
In the article referred to appears the
following statement:
"Since the election of the new trustees
and marshal it is claimed that the whis-
ky ring and the gamblers have been do
ing pretty much as they liked
Unless such a condition Of affairs can
be proved, the above statement is mani
testify unfair to the city officials. Just
as it is there stated, all the blame for
the presence of an Objectionable class in
this city is thrust upon them.
| In order first to reach fair under
standing of the situation rs it now exists
| it will be necessary to go back to the
| time of the last city election. At that
| time party lines were drawn not wholly
between Republicansa and Democrats, but
were on the basis of A. p. A. or non A. p.
| A., the majority of the latter class being
| the staunch Democrats who have for
years helped to maintain for Redondo
| the position of the banner Democratic
| precinct of the county The opposition,
after carefully canvassing their forces,
saw that in order to control the munich
pal election it would be necessary for
| them to command twenty additional
votes. To accomplish this, so it is
| claimed on the best of authority, the To-
| cal leaders held conference with a GER
| tain well known Republican in Los An
| geles, with the result that thirty days
| before the election, or just in time to
| gain residence here for the purpose of
voting, the needful ballot aid was gath
cred up from among the Republican
ward-workers and bosses tools in the
city and shipped like so much baggage
| to Redondo.
When the election occurred it was
found that a miscalculation had been
made somewhere. Several Of the better
| looked into the affair and refused to
ally themselves with such a class and
| the outcome of the election was defeat
| for the opposition and the election of
| the present city officials.
Naturally dissatisfaction spread in
| the other camp. Various Intellectual eff
forts have been made by them to cast
odium on the present city government
| and finally to make their cause seem
| just they have begun to blame our
worthy officials because they have not
seen fit to interfere with the business of
| the very men whom they have brought
here. If such is not their motive, why,
| then, did they not enlist their efforts for
reform before the present time? Ttare
| has never been a lack of properly au-
! thorized officers in Redondo to enforce
The herald., 1896-09-01

the state law governing gambling hous-
es; Furthermore, had that alone been the
motive of the defeated faction, the au-
thor of this letter and in fact majority
of the reputable business men of the
town would have Joined with them in
expelling the Objectionable class which
they imported.
Redondo has always enjoyed the rep
utation of being a peaceful, we'll regu-
lated little city. Those who in truth
have it's best interests at heart cannot
but regret that any one who is not a
law abiding citizen should have been
brought here, and it is singularly unfor-
tunate that a pleasant resort such as
Redondo should be brought into urifa-
vorable public notice. more especially
by those whose interests are bound up
here and who in the most part are to
blame for the lamentable situation.

SELECTION Of Apple Trees.

There are hundreds of orchards which
would be profitable if the owners un-
derstood all that was required in the
growing of apples. Farmers buy trees
without regard to the adaptation of the
varieties to the climate and soil, and
many of them do not even know the
names of the varieties they have. An
orchard can be made very profitable,
but the farmer cannot expect success
unless he fully understands what he is
doing, for, should he make a mistake
at first in the selection of varieties. he
car never recover the loss incurred, as
he may not discover his mistake until
years after.-Farm News.

n Pnvs to preserve Forests.

The farmers wood pile and the prob
lem of American forestry preservation
are intimately connected. In New Eng
land much of the old forest growth has
been cut off and saplings and young
trees now take the place of the giants
of the forest. 1t will pay in dollars and
cents to use great judgment in selecting
wood for fuel. Cut out undesirable va
rieties of wood, fallen trees, broken
branches and begin careful system of
forest growth. Lumber will before
long be obliged to advance in value be-
cause of its growing scarcity, and al
ready forest tracts are being bought in
several sections as an investment.

had in this way, for, while the roots are
thus kept longer in frozen ground, the
trunk and limbs are receiving the
warmth and sunshine, and the sap prob
ably is not greatly retarded. There is a
way, however, that works satisfactorily
even in very cold regions. The roots are
cut on one side of the tree, as seen in
Fig. 1.-THE same side each succeeding
winter-and the tree is gently bent to
the ground, where it is secured as
shown in Fig. 2, and light covering of

by This Method the Most Tedious Fart
Of the Work TS Avoided.
The new culture consists simply in
sowing the seed in greenhouse, hotbeds
or elsewhere and then transplanting to
the open ground, as cabbage or other
plants. By selecting the right varie-
ties, there is claimed for this method
a larger yield Of better quality and with
less labor than by any other method.
There ere several varieties Of foreign
origin that take well to this method Of
culture, but the Spanish King or Prize
Taker is by far the best and most at
tractive of any Of the varieties we have
tested. This variety resembles the
large Bermudas.
The seed may be sown from the mid
die of February to the middle of March,
and the transplanting done when the
soil will permit
The plants are taken up by loosening
the soil under them first with a trowel
or stick. BY trimming off parts of the
tops and roots we are enabled to set
plants more rapidly and better. DO not
trim severely, but with a bunch of
plants in one hand and with a single
stroke of the knife we take off just
enough of the top so that the plant will
stand eject when set, and at another
stroke enough sprangly roots are taken
off so that we can do much better work.
To set the plants round stick about an
inch in diameter, sharpened to point,
answers the purpose very well. With
this make two or three strokes to each
plant. First, straight hole, into
which the plant is placed and held with
the left hand. A second time the dib-
BILE is inserted, about an inch from the
plant, pointed toward the plant at an
angle, and then pushed toward the
plant, thus compacting the soil about
the roots; then another light stroke to
I'll up the hole. When properly set,
plants cannot be pulled out by the tops.
Aim to set the plants when the soil is
moist.
BY this new method of cultivating is
avoided the most tedious part of the
cultivation, that of the first two weed
ings, and most of the cultivating is done
with the wheel hoe. Aim to cultivate
with this every week or ten days. One
thorough wedding by hand ought to
suffice. One of the best tools for this
work is an old table knife. What
hoeing is necessary after this is usually
done with narrow-bladed hoe.-Con-

brought us to the "verge of moral, po-

It then becomes the duty of patriots

OF all the millions of our population
only few enjoy the fruits of financial
legislation. A broad statement, some
will say, bnt true, notwithstanding the
fact that we nave heard men say with
the conviction that they were stating
an axiom, "You can't leglslate men

history the fslsity of the above quoted
statement, do not at this time care to
notice it as anything worthy of contro-

ment instead, you do not want to
legislate men rich, or, to put 1t in our
good plain English, we ought not to

Financial legislation is necessary, not
in the interest Of any man or class, but
in the interest of the people; and any
act of Legislature which is an induce
ment for men to exercise their disposi-
tion to speculate (rsther to peculatel is
vicious; and that is the trend Of all late
financial laws. The history of Rome
alone ought to teach statesmen the
great danger there ia in class laws.
The historian, Ridpsth, tells us that a
period came in Rome when "the laws
were framed by the pstrician senate,
and were In the interest-as they have
always been-of the money.lending
class. The government was
of the money lender, for the money
lender, and by the. money lender" Vol.

vigilance is the price of liberty" there
fore, it being duty that each person
owes to every other person to do all in
his power to further the interests of the
whole community, the time for re
doubling of diligence is now here. The
time is fraught with great, living ques-
tions, They press for solution, and
solved they will be. Let the people, on
whom rests the responsibility for the

and energy is expended in showing
wherein our opponents have done
wrong. "By their fruits ye shall know
them." Let US, then, 90 before the
