WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1890.
We are glad to know that the reporter
who used the word "exiguity," stum
bling under the weight of his dire of
fence, fell on his head last night at the
bottom of a dark pit, and ingioriously
expired. There will be no funeral, for
the scribe who would dig up such an ob
eoletism and use it in a common local,
should be left to cross the dark river
without the benefit of "book, bell or
candle,"; , If the city council would
make itself useful for once, and pass a
stringent ordinance against this kind of
offence. Los Angeles publishers would
undoubtedly soften towards it as a body.
"Exiguity!" Phtcbus, what a word for
the columns of a popular daily newspa
per!
Whkjj the Democratic convention
meets to nominate a city ticket there
will be some very interesting discussions
upon the precinct club plan of selecting
delegates. Whilst this plan has some
merits, it;is open to the most dangerous
abuses, ahd notwithstanding the pri
mary election system is also subject to
abuses, yet it is far preferable to the
precinct club system. The primary elec
tion is open to all Democrats to cast
their votes; but the club plan ostracizes
all Democrats who fail, for any reason,
to get their names upon the club rolls.
It is too late to take issue with the pre
cinct club plan at the present time, but
the convention will undoubtedly take
the question up and determine whether
the Democracy of Los Angeles wishes to
imitate the system which in San Fran
cisco has led the party to defeat. The
rank and file of the party will see to it
that their primary power shall not be
wrested from them by any system which
is calculated to breed bosses and en
trench abuses.
The election yesterday resulted in
favor of the closing of saloons on Sun
days. The* council will perhaps con
sider this vote merely advisory, and
shift the responsibility of passing a clos
ing ordinance upon their successors, now
so soon to be elected. At least we infer
this much from the timid and vacillat
ing way in which they have dealt with
this question from the start. It was
their duty in the beginning to either
pass or refuse to pass a closing ordinance,
And not put the city to the expense of
holding a special election, so as to shift
the responsibility from their own shoul
ders. The council has been timid where
it should have been straightforward and
firm, and bold and rash where it should
have been slow and cautious. It has not
hesitated to harass property holders with
premature street work against the most
pronounced protests of the victims, nor
held back when valuable franchises were
to be granted against the will of the
people; but when it came to a measure
upon which they should have acted with
decision, they have shown the white
feather at every point.
The Indian Messiah has been located,
and his name is Johnson. He lives on
the Walker Lake reservation in Nevada,
and, unlike the Christian Savior, who
had neither scrip nor scrippage nor a
place whereon to lie His head, this
deity is rich in cattle and horses and
-possessed of great distributive wealth for
an aborigine. Notwithstanding his
message has been interpreted by the
Dakota Indians into one of war and
vengeance, a leading disciple of his who
glories in the suave and gentle name of
Porcupine, declares that the new aborig
inal Christ's doctrine is one of peace and
good-will. There is hardly any chance
that Savior Johnson will carry his gos
pel of peace personally into the haunts
of the bloodthirsty Sioux, who are in
dulging in the orgies of fire-water and
the war dance, and preparing to wipe
out the pale-faces from the face of the
earth; but there is quite a possibility
that the wild denizens of Dakota plains
may work themselves into a murderous
frenzy against the frontier settlements
and only be returned to the calm de
lights of reason and reservation hash
by the persuasive bullet and the con
vincing saber of Uncle Sam's exhorters
in blue.
Some points which have been devel
oped in the Edelman forgery trial have
been thus far overlooked. We allude,
first, to the practice which seems to
have obtained in the county treasurer's
office of cashing warrants with alias en
dorsements. Why should the treasurer
establish a more lax rule in the endorse
ment of warrants than banks require in
the endorsement of checks? Would any
bank cash a check endorsed "John
Smith, by. James Brown?" We opine
not. And, second, if James Brown
should draw money on a check of that
kind, and it turned out that he had no
authority from John Smith to sign his
name, is there any doubt that Brown
would be amenable to the law for felony?
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 19, 1890.
Is there any element of exculpation
from forgery when a man draws money
on a check, or on a warrant, by virtue of
a false endorsement made by himself,
because he has merely acknowledged
the fact of the signature underneath the
forged name ? We trow not. Now let
us see whether "cousin" Cohn cannot
be at least made to disgorge the money
he has wrongfully obtained from the
county, even if a criminal action cannot
be made to lie against him.
IS IT AT BEDROCK NOW?
A Pomona paper the other day had
this paragraph: "The ten-acre apricot
and peach orchard formerly belonging
to A. B. Nash, was bought yesterday by
H. A. Koss, for $6000. The property
has been bought and 6old three times
since July, and has increased $1800 in
value. B. V. Whipp was the last owner,
and he made $1000 on his investment of
forty-two days. Mr. Ross and his wife
are from Manitoba, and they will imme
diately remove to Pomona and will
build a residence adjoining the orchard."
There are three things to note in this
paragraph : The price paid for this de
ciduous orchard without improvements
is $500 per acre; that is an in
crease since last summer of nearly
two-thirds, and of $1000 in six
weeks; the purchase is for invest
ment and a residence will be built
on the place at once. There are a few
other noteworthy facts. If the trees were
in good order, the crops of last summer
very easily netted their owner $100 to
$150 per acre. These figures make the
purchase very cheap. Next year's crop
will recoup the buyer in a large portion
of his outlay. With good care, such as
one man with one horse can easily give
by working an average of two hours a
day, these ten acres ought to yield a
man yearly $1000 to 12000, and if he
dries the fruit himself the gross receipts
will be more than doubled. Here is a
very handsome living for a family at an
outlay of not over $7000 all told, and
very little labor necessary.
If the above were a series of isolated
facts it would not be significant of much
in any way. But it is not so. All the
facts are typical in all respects of what
is going on daily in all parts of this sec
tion. First, there is a healthy demand
or good lands, improved and unim
proved, at fair prices.
Secondly, there are large numbers of
sales being made in these classes of
property all over this section, for invest
ment by actual settlers, who proceed at
once to make a permanent home.
Thirdly, prices are hardening, and
even rising steadily. Property cannot
be bought today as cheap as a year ago
by twenty per cent.; bargains are grow
ing very scarce, and the outlook is for a
decided advance in values before the
coming spring is gone.
Fourth, the reason for all this is the
realization that has taken possession of
the people's mind of the intrinsic value
of the property of this section. The
movement is based on a careful estimate
of returns from crops. The people are
laying hold of these facts in a very pos
itive form. The Herald gave a notice
last Saturday of the closing of a deal for
ranch property below the city. The
deed went on record on Monday. It
was the Burlingame ranch, near Coinp
ton, 271 acres, selling for $54,000. It is
raw land mostly, but it brings $200
per acre. It is regarded by
conservative men as a very good buy.
We have chronicled a good many signifi
cant sales of late, and there are a num
ber of large deals now pending, the con
summation of which will astonish the
slow thinkers.
The fact is this movement is not pecu
liar to Southern California. In San
Francisco there is an absolute boom in
city property. Senator Fair, who has
known the bay city since Mount Diablo
was a hole in the ground, is credibly
reported to have invested $5,000,000 in
city property in the last year or two.
That sum was paid for vacant
lots, or those on which the improve
ments went for nothing. Last week a
Boston man landed in San Francisco,
and in a few days closed a deal for nine
blocks of what were known until the
other day as outside lands, lying be
tween Golden Gate park and the Cliff
house. He paid a cool million for these
vacant lots.
The fact is the eyes of all the country
are on this state. It is a foregone con
clusion that there is to be a dense popu
lation here in time. San Francisco will
be one of the three cr four largest cities
on this continent. Southern California
will be the densest and most prosperous
population in the whole world. The
area of semi-tropic lands is very limited.
The contention for them by the middle
of this decade will be very sham. Los
Angeles will, next to San Francisco, be
the most impoitant city on the coast.
From the Arioyo Seco to the sea will be
thickly peopled. . When it shall have
doubled its present population what will
be the value of city lots?
Here are the salient facts in the situ
ation. Cast a cursory glance at the above
facts, and the conclusion is inevitable—
real estate is cheaper now in Los Angeles
and vicinity than it ever will be again.
DlED—Albert L. Howard, son of F. H. How
ard and Arm Ida Loaiza de Howard, aged H
years and 2 months, of diphtheria. In this
City on Sunday, 10th Inst., and was privately
interred on the same day.
We call attention to the notice of the
death of the infant son of Judge F. H.
Howard for reasons of public interest.
The child was found to have diphtheria
on Monday, the 10th inst. Doctors C.
B. Jones and H. H. Maynard were called
in, and they immediately notified the
health office, the house was placarded at
once, and every precaution taken to pre
vent contagion. After a heroic strug
gle upon the part of the physicians and
parents, the child succumbed on Sun
day morning. Then the noble mother
gave up her dear dead for strictly pri
vate burial within eight hours, and the
house was immediately fumigated and
disinfected. If all physicians and parents
would act in this manner in like cases,
this dread disease would never spread,
and could be stamped out effectually. It
is, however, too commonly the case that
both physicians and parents are to
blame for a weak concealment of the
facts and a neglect of the sanitary pre
cautions required by law to prevent the
spread of this malignant disease. Such
paltering conduct cannot be too severely
condemned, wherever it may be found
to exist, and the safety of many precious
lives in the community elemands that
the law shall be strictly obeyed in every
case and at the sacrifice of all private
feelings.
Just think of it, the Express setting
itself up as an authority upon journal
istic ethics! It makes one laugh. We
believe that sheet is so saturated with
partisan prejudice that if his satanic
majesty should visit "the glimpses of
moon" under the guise of a Republican,
it would fall down and worship.
AMUSEMENTS.
Clara Morris at the Los Angeles
Theater.
Among the kind words spoken of Clara
Morris, the great emotional actress, who
is so soon to appear here, the following
from the San Francisco Chroaicle will
bear reading: "The Baldwin theater
was tilled last night when Clara Morris
made her reappearance as Camille after
several years'absence. It is compliment
more to the actress than to the play, for
Camille has long since ceased to draw
with anybody else in the leading role.
Although year by year the false senti
ments of the play shows up plainly,
still up to last night it has not lost its
power and draws" tears and applause.
The third act almost uses up the hand
kerchiefs, and what was left of them
were soaked with tears over the death
scene. Miss Morris waM called out be-
I fore the curtain on most acts and gener
j ally established the fact that she is still
1 the star emotional actress. The per
fermance was out shortly after 11 o'clock,
which show such a change in Miss Mor
ris' methods that it is specially
worth mentioning, that it aided mate
rially in the success of the evening.
Miss Morris has not been for years so
strong and well as she is now. For once
the advance announcements have told
the truth. She is much stouter, she
has lost a great deal of the nervousness
which used to make her overdo the
scene in Camille ; she is more self-con
troled, and gives to Camille a poise she
has not since the days of her best
health. Since we have%een her we have
seen Sara Bernhardt, but comparison is
not quite just, or at least the parts must
be taken from different points of view in
criticising it. Miss Morris is a magnetic
actress, who in her emotional scenes
moves the audience in an extraordinary
way, and her Camille today is just as
full of that magnetism and eli'ective as
it ever was. In good health it becomes
more genuinely artistic representation,
a little more of real human nature than
it was. Miss Morris brings us an excel
lent company."
Miss Morris will open at the Los An
geles next Monday for a season of a
week.
At the Grand.
Professor Herrmann's New Trang-At
lantiques will occupy the stage of the
Grand opera house, five nights and a
Thanksgiving and Saturday matinee,
commencing next Tuesday evening. The
company come here direct from their
great triumph in San Francisco, and
comprises a higher class of specialty
performers than that which Professor
Herrmann sent upon the road last
season.
Weak Lungs Made Strong.
Persons who stay in-doors all the time and
[ lean over a counter or a desk, sooner or later
discover that their lungs are giving out. Eras
tus R. Sutherland, editor of The Eastern State
Journal, White Plains, New York, writes:
"I have used Allcock's Porocb Plasters in
Imy family since 1866. In that year I had an
! attack of pneumonia from which 1 was not cx
i pected to recover. My lungs were left in a very
weak state. I commenced using Allcock's
PORors Plasters, wearing them constantly
three months, two on the breast and two on the
I back. The result was surprising, at least i o me.
I The pains in my lungs had left me, and I felt
i like "a giant refreshed with new wine."
Hundreds Say So.
Any good thing which performs its
' function with half the quantity, is
| double the value of a poor thing that
I requires twice as much for effect. This
: truth is fully exemplified, as follows :
N. Ogden, Lenawee Co., Mich.,)
May 17, 1890. j
! "The virtues of your most invaluable
j medicine, St. Jacobs Oil, compel me to
give my testimony in legard to what
; one-half bottle did for me. About a year
i ago I had a swelled knee with rheuma
! lisrn and expected to be a cripple for
j life. Befoie I had used one-half bottle,
I had no more pain, the swelling was
gone, and I am as well as ever. I be
lieve it is the best pain-destroyer in the
universe." J. M. L. Porter.
P. S. —My brother also, Rev. Samuel
Porter, was relieved by it of an excruciat
ing pain in his left thigh.

Suffering- Terrible—Cured by

I was covered with scrofula sores from my
head to my wai.t, suffering so that I could not
sleep a t nights, and could He down only with
pillows under my arms. My head was so sore
that I could not wear a hat ; and being a farmer,
I could not go bareheaded, so wore a very solt
handkerchief on my head. In fact, I wasa dis
gusting 6lght to others and to rnvself. After
dcetoring for six years with the best physicians
in the etnintry, and getting worse all the time,
I hud given up all hope of getting well when 1
saw your Cuticura Remedies advertised and
procured a set, although with little faith in
