THE DAILY and WEEKLY HER

in Southern California. Business men
recognize it accordingly as the best
advertising medium South of San

SUNDAY DEC. 19, 187").
The San Francisco Spirit of the
T>mes has issued its Christmas num
ber, consisting of twenty pages, or one
hundred and sixty columns. It is well
filled with railroad, hotel, turf and
other information of general value.
In his message which the Herald
placed before its readers yesterday
morning, Mayor Beaudry calls the
attention of the Council to the neces
sity for early and prompt measures to
prevent an overflow of the Los Ange
les river into the lower portion of the
city. The Hera ld some two months
ago pointed out the danger which
threatened a part of the city from the
river and we are glad to see that tlie
Mayor recommends an improvement
of the channel and banks of the
stream.
The Express grows spasmodically
facetious over the fact that the editor
of the Herald was at one time a citi
zen of Stockton—the city in which is
located the State Insane Asylum. We
did live there. We were well acquaint
ed with the Superintendent of the
we are here. The fact
thatJJte editors of the Express are
Jrereis proof positive that they never
lived in Stockton and that the Super
intendent of the Insane Asylum never
saw either of them.
Mr. Dryden, government agent of
the Mission Indians of Southern Cali
fornia, has just returned from a visit
to the different tribes, and reports the
chiefs and leaders desirous of perma
nently locating their people on land
which the government provides for
them. Probably the cheapest and
most satisfactory arraugement that
could be made would be for the gov
ernment to purchase a tract of land
and divide it among the tribes or fam
liea, requiring each to live on and cul
tivate their own farm. We under
stand efforts are being made toward
this end.
A Fine Prospect.
If, as now seems almost certain,
Congress accepts the ofl'er of the Sout It
em Pacific Railroad Company to build
the Southern overland road for the
land subsidy voted to the Texas Pacific
Company and by that company for
feited some years ago, the certainty of
Los Angeles becoming a great railroad
centre, and of thejrapid population and
development of Southern California,
is beyond a doubt. The Southern Pa
cific road will open up a large area of
Arizona and New Mexico and secure us
the trade of those localities. The pro
ducts of this part of the State are al
ready large and varied and our broad
rich valleys need but the husband
man's care and attention to make
them one hundred fold greater than
at present. We have the rich soil
and the genial climate. We need
population and a market. The rail
road will give us both. With the com
pletion of the track will commence
the flow of immigration toward us
from the Southwest and the enterprise
will offer us an excellent market for
our surplus products in the mines of
Arizona and New Mexico. But there
is another and by no means insignifi
cant advantage which we shall seccure
through the building of the Southern
Pacific road and that is another trans
continental road. The Southern Pa
cific will cut off from the Union Pacific
neatly the entire carrying trade of Cal
ifornia, and the owners of that road
must in self-protection extend their
communication to the Pacific coast.
There can be no question as to the route
they will select for that purpose. They
will seek to reach the Pacific Ocean
somewhere In Southern California.
Santa Monica, Wilmington or San
Diego—perhaps the latter- will be
their objective point. So far as tlie
prosperity of our city and valley are
concerned it is of little consequence
which ofthe three places named they
may select as their water term ions.
The road must pass through Tejon
pass, and this fact alone guarantees
the correctness of our statement that
Los Angeles is destined to become the
focus of a railroad system greater than
our most sanguine citizens now dream
of. The managers of the I'nion Pa
cific fully realize the situation and
they are already taking steps for re
lieving themselves from the dilemma
jn which the building of tbe Southern
Pacific will place them.
The Old Cry.
The era of platitudes about land
monopoly and land monopolists is
upon us, and we are overwhelmed
with arguments designed to illustrate
the perfidious conduct of a man who
holds all the land he can buy and pay
for. Until it changed editors a few
days ago, the San Francisco Pout, a
paper owned chiefly by Senator
Jones, who is himself a large land
holder, was especially fanatical on
this subject. It seems almost time to
realize that all this nonsense amounts
to nothing. One man ha- as much
right to all the land he can pay for as
another has to monopolize mines
yielding millions of dollars annually.
Why not assail Sharon and Jones
and Mackev and Fair and Hay
warp and Flood & O'Brien for
holding mines that yield more money
than they need for their daily expen
ses? Why not denounce every man
who holds more of this world's
goods than is absolutely neces
sary for his individual com
fort? It is not of the monopoly of
land or mines or of any other class of
wealth that we should complain, but
of the ineqality of taxat ion which pre-
vails. If the man of great wealth
paid taxes in proportion to the man of
small means, instances of land mo
nopoly would be less rare than at pres
ent. The owner of the small farm pays
taxes on the full value, ofthe land and
if the holder of a five league grant
did likewise he would soon realize the
disadvantage of holding rich land from
which he derives no profit. We be
lieve that every maa has a right to all
tlie land he can buy and pay for, and
we believe that taxation should be
equal—bearing alike on the rich and
poor man. If this principle was en
forced large tracts of land would be for
sale and millions of acres of now un
productive soil would soon be in a high
state of cultivation.
A Wonderful Country.
Where is (here another conn(ry like
California ? Where another country
of such varied resources and wonder
ful productions ? The wheat, wool,
honey and many other products are so
enormous iv proportion to the num
ber of persons engaged iv producing
them as to astonish th*- world. The
wheat i rodiiet of 1872 was 25,000,000
bushels, and the gold and silver yield
is given at $180,000,000. The gold and
silver export for sixteen years Is $650,
--000,000. Tho wheat and flour export
for seventeen years is 43,000,000 cen
tals. The lumber receipts for 1572
were 237,000,000 feet, and the wool clip
for the same year, 25,000,000 pounds.
Almost every mineral of value in the
world is found within the borders of
our State. Every variety of fruit and
plant under the sun will grow and
flourish here. Livestock is reared by
the million. California excels all
other countries. Her trees are the
largest, her mountains the highest,
her women the prettiest and her men
the most energetic. Her cities and
towns are the most progressive. There
is not another twenty-five year old
city on the face of the globe like San
Francisco. Within a quarter of a
century her population has increased
from a few hundred to 700,000, and she
has more rich men in proportion to
her population than any other city in
the world. In 1872 there were 3,658,
--183 acres of land under cultivation in
tills State. There are many railroads,
and the number of miles of track is
increasing daily. In educational fa
cilities, California is in advance of
States trebble her age. In climate,
scil, seasons, mineral wealth and va
ried resources, California Is without
equal.
Course of Lectures.
It can now bo announced with cer
tainty that 8 course of Lectures will
be given for the benefit of the public
school library. There will be eight
lectures, one each week, commencing
the second Tuesday evening in Janu
ary. The use of tlie Methodist church,
on Spring street, has been secured.
This is central and comfortable.
The public will be satisfied that the
lectures will be of the highest order,
when informed that Gov. J. G. Dow
ney. Gen. V. Howard, Col. J. How
ard, Col. E. J. C. Kewen, Judge H. K.
S. O'Melveny and Judge V. Sepal*
verda* have consented to deliver ad
dresses.
Let the friends of popular education
show their appreciation ofthe kind
ness of these gentlemen by an attend
ance that will be flattering to them
and beneficial to the schools, the com
mon property of all. — Schoolmaster.

Whereas. We believe that agri
culture is burdened out of all due pro
portion to the other great interests or
industries of the country by the pres
ent protective tariff*; and
Whereas, We further believe that
any relief or encouragement extended
to the agricultural interests in what
ever section of the Union, would ne
cessarily benefit the whole communi
ty; and
Whereas, the farmers of this State
are subjected to an onerous indirect
tax of over $1,000,000 annually on ac
count of the exorbitant duties levied
upon sacks and bagging, now there
fore we request our Representative iv
Congress from the Fourth District,
Hon. P. D. Wigginton, to use every
means within his power, when in
Congress, to procure the repeal of all
duties upon grain, sacks or bagging,
used for sacking grain, cotton or wool,
and upon all burlaps and gunny cloth.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS.—The Presi
dent and all the members of the Cab
inet have gone to Philadelphia, and
there lias been a plentiful lack of noise
at tho White House to-day. Few
Congressmen remain in the city and
quite a number having returned to
tlieir homes, iii view of the fact that
no business is to be done. When the
House meets on Monday to adjourn
for tlie holidays, it is not certain that
the Speaker will announce the Com
mittees on that day, as he is still re
stricting the list.
A slimmer dullness and a mid-vviti
ter temperature prevails here.
it is by no means certain, as some
predict, that a Senator other than Mr.
Ferry, lie chosen as the President of
the Senule. A reason to doubt that
moment that Mr. Wilson died, Mr.
Ferry become invested Under the Con
stitution with functions of Vice-Pres
ident of tlie United States, and that
of these functions he cannot be divest
ed except by impeachment, and to
put the ease still plainer, had the
President died the day following the
decease of the Vice-President, it
would have devolved on Mr. Ferry to
at once qualify and enter upon the dis
charge of his duties of the Chief Ex
ecutive of the United States.
