The order of the city council that all
employees of the city must be American
citizens and on the great register of Los
Angeles, is causing considerable uneasi-
ness IN some quarters. Auditor Mich
ofs mas announced that under the orders
OF the council, he will refuse to audit any
claims for wages by persons who do NOT
come under the rule, and has called on
the heads of department., for lists of
their employees, giving their names and
the number of the precinct in which they
reside. well known professional man
was at the hall Cay or two ago in q
great state of mind over the order. 1t
appears that he has sor, about 10 wears
of age at work in the street department.
and under the ruling he is likely to lose
his job. There is nothing against the
young fellow, and he probably earns his
money but rs he is not yet a voter he is
barred. The father thought that the fact
that he Is voter should count for the
son, and he made strong plea for the
Suspension of the rule in his case. but

THE REAL THING

The Darktown Minstrel company, un-
der the management of Thomas Henry,
which appeared in Music hall on Spring
street last night attracted a very fair
sized audience composed largely Of col
cred people. The company is made up
entirely of colored members. Some of
the numbers were well executed and
very meritorious. The Southern quar-
tette rendered several plantation songs
in a highly pleasing manner and a
constant roar of fun was kept up by the
droll wit which was banded about dur

Boston Traveller: The report that the
Bank of England had decided to keep on
hand One-flfth Of its reserve in silver
coin is making the cold shivers run down
the backs of the money-lenders Of Wall
street. William E. Chandler seems to
be the only Republican of prominence
who breaks the Sabbath day stiffness
with which this announcement is made
to say word about the serious and
earnest work Of President Mckinley to
further the cause Of international BIZ
metallism. We have suspicion, how
ever, that this action on the part of the
Bank Of England will not be received
at the White House with the hilarious
enthusiasm which one would infer from
the remarks Of Mr.. Chandler. At time
when there seemed to be an impossi-
bility of accomplishing anything for
silver, the enthusiasm for the white
metal on the part Of Mckinley, Hanna
and others was at white heat. But we
have suspicion that it is with sickly
smile that the present news is received.

duce more gold than We dreamed OF.
But it is also in many ways bleak,
barren desolate country-a country in
capable of supporting any great
amount of animal life and a country
of such rigorous climate, both winter
and spring, that none but the most
hardy can possibly live in it.
II am aware there is popular i'm

at present buy at six times Seattle
