There ia no doubt now that the ques

will go over to Cleveland's administra
tion. The Democrats will receive many
hard heirlooms from the Republican ad
ministration, and that of disposing of
the Hawaiian question is not ihe least
perplexing.
Congress has jujt found out that tho
whisky trust adulterates its liquors.
What a swearing off there will be in
Washington when thia alarmins; 6 jlair
cissement gets thoroughly through tha
congressional organ of understanding.
The office-seeking tide is now Betting
towards Washington with a fearful rush.
From the north, south, east and weat
they come like a vaat army, but without
banners. How many of thoso who go to
the political Mecca beaming with high
hope will return Deriding under the
weight of a disappointment too hard to

The appropriations of tho present leg
islature exceed by far those) made by
any previous legislature in California.
Yet there haa been nn whisper against
the integrity of the body as a whole. Its
cardinal vice seems to be a thorough
lnaptability to giaep th i science of econo
my in government. It has passed ap
prop'iation bills without the slightest
regard to the capacity of tha taxpayers,
and unless a halt is cried, and the appro
priations scaled down right and left with
unsparing hand, the pledged limit of
the tax rate will have to be set at a far
higher figure than 50 cents on the $100
This legislature iB badly in need of a
Holman at the head of ita ways and
means committee.
The world'B fair commissioners at
Ban Francisco, who have the manipula
tion of the $1100,0011 appropriation by the
State, have appointed two San Francisco
lady commissioners to take entire
charge at Ohicago of the exhibits of
California. They have raißad the salar
ies of these ladies from $75 to $150 per
month. The two Southern California
lady commissioners have been advised
that their servic9s are not wanted to
care for the exhibit cent from th'B
end of the state, and that if they go to
Ohicago they will go unofficially and at
their own cost. That is the kind of
treatment Southern California is getting
from the packed commission at San
Francisco.
A joke is a joke, but fuuuy business
In legislation is no joke at all. The city
council of Ivob Angeles ought to bo above
horae-play when it cornea down to pass
ing ordinances or voting men into offica.
Yesterday afternoon that intermiable
ordinance creating the office of assistant
bailding inspector came up, with a blank
In it to be filled by vote of the council
whenever they could agree upon a suit
able person to till the office. There
were seven ballots in all, taken upon
tbe relative merits of three plumbers,
tbe choice finally falling upon Mr. J. E.

the men who broke from the other can

he deserved the nomination for that po
sition, the ordinance under which he
was nominated deserved to pass by a
majority vote. It is about time to quit
playing horse.
THE RETIRING COMMISSIONERS AND
THE PARKS.
An extensive drive over the parks of
Los Angelea yesterday was full of in
struction. Such a trip ia a long one, ior
it takes in. a circuit of fully twenty
five miles. As the bill vesting the ap
pointment of the park commissioners in
our municipal government has been
passed by the legislature and is in the
hands of the governor, it is not ont of
place just now to say something of the
work that has been accomplished by the
retiring board, for it is generally under
stood that Sutherland Hutton, S. C.
Hubbell and J irae i C. Kaye will not
seek re-appointment.
la taking a hurried view of the parka
of Los Angeles it is well to start from
Sixth street park. This is a small p.irk
of three and a half acres, but i, is
worthy of a visit, and is so familiar to
most Angelefi is that it requires no
lengthened description. The next, the
Westlake pari, is alao equally well
known, and is r<tc mimeuded by a beau
tiful sheet of water, which is supplied
with b boat hou«e and boats, which,
by the way, paid for themielvea in
a little while after thsir purchase.
A short drive to the north bring-i
one to Echo park which is also
supplied with a lake, a portion of which
the present commissioners had intended
to devote to a swimming pond for boys.
There is no place in Lis Angeles where
boys can learn to swim outaide of tho
naUtorium, which is in private hands.
In this respect thoy are at a great dis
advantage. Tha commiaaioners had
contemplated the acquiring of land for a
boulevard two hundred feet wiu\
neeting the Ecuo and Eiyaian parka,
and it ii to be hoped that this scheme
will be carried out, as it will give tbe
poople of Los Augeles au unsurpassed
drive, and will prove to bo a delightful
extension of the last named park.
We wish to dwell with great empha
sis on-the attractiveness of this last
mentioned of our public breathing
places because very few even of our own
people seem to know what a noble
thing ia growing up in their midst. The
number of Angelenis who have not
more than heard of Elysian park is in
credible. And yet right there ia the
making—and very considerable advances
have already beon made on it— ol one of
the nobluat parks in the world. It will
be tbe opinion of any unbiased person
who takes the trouble to examine their
work, that the coramusionera have
achieved miracles in this really nota'ole
park, and that they havo done it an an
outlay that ia surprisingly amall. All
told, only $SJOo have biei spent here,
and yet already respectable forests have
bean creatad and an astonishing amount
of excellent roaiwayj have baeu made.
It ia impossible to exaggerate the
grnndear of the views presented
on every baud on the serpentine
roadways which have beeu cut over
the hills. To give an idea of th 9 infinite
variety and majeaty of the vistas which
unfold theraaelvas before the eyea of the
wayfarer we shall Bimply Bay that they
aro equal to those unrolled before one'a
eyes on the Preaidio drive to the Cliff
House in San Francisco. Of course the
road-ruikino; cannot be compared to the
Buperb drivea created by the army of the
United States iv the Bay city, but the
landscape is more variod and quite aa
picturesque. Daring one's progress over
these hills at one point one takes in the
whole sweep of country batween Loa An
geles and the Ballona and Santa Monica.
At another point the spread of valley
through which the Los Angelea river
meanders cornea to the front, with the
lower portion of the San Fernando valley
and the San Fernando and Tnjunga,
mountains flanking the charming
expanse. At another 4) the ma
jestic ramparta of tha Sierra
\ladre mountains swell up from
the distance, with Pasadena, the
Raymond hotel aud portions of the Sin
(jibriel valley in tne foreground. A
turn in tho road at frequent intervals
gives splendid viewa of tho city of Ins
Angalea and of the Loa Angelea valley
to the couth and west, tho latter
takinij in th? PaiiSc ocaau at Long
Beach and Sao Pedro, and ou clear days
even the Smta Citalina islands. Thia
park comprises 60'J acres, and the com
miasioners have contemplated the pur
chase or condemnation of some 440 acrea
adjoining, which could now ba acquired
at a vnry reaionable figure, but which
are bound to become very valuable as
the park is improved. That their plan
would ha iv the baat interests of the
city cannot be doubted. It would give
Los Angiles ono of the noblest and larg
est purka in the world, and in
the coming yeara it would be a
source of incommensurable prido
and pleasure to our people. Already
extenaive plantations have baan act out.
Little slips tint were planted five yeara
ago are already sigutly trees over forty
feet in height. Realizing that the pres
ent year would be one specially favoraole
to arboreal growth, the commissioners
have planted forty thousand treea since
the first rain. They are all doing well.
Not a foot of the roadwaya which were
built in such an economical minuar was
washed out during the late rain a. This
is certainly a remarkable circumstance,
and is the beat way of indicating how
easy it ib to extend and improve these
drives. It would really be hard to ex
aggerate the attractions of this park, as
yet in its infancy. We have written of
it at such length because we think that
the attention of the whole community
should be aroused to a knowledge of the
inestimable treasure they possess.
In addition the city possesses theEaet
Side, Prospect, St. James and Hollen
beck parks. The first named ia rapidly
developing into a thing of beauty which
will be a joy forever. It comprises fifty

much frequented as the pretty West
lake park, it is by far the more beauti
ful of the two. A great deal of judicious
work haa been done upon it, and ita
floral beauties are as great aa ita fine
arboreal displays. The Proapect park is
a bijou of only two and a half acres, bnt
it is made delightful by a great wealth
of rare plants. The Hollenbeck park
contains nineteen acres and much work
is now being done on it. That it will be
handsome when completed need not be
doubted. The St. James ia a little pocket
park eet in a region of marvelous at
tractions.
In justice to the retiring commission
ers we must cay that they bave de
served well of the people of Loa An
geles. We heartily hope that their suc
cessors will acquit themselves equally
as well. AH departments of their
administration show that vigilance and
sagacity have been exercised by them
in the expenditure of the people's
money.
THE HERCULEAN TASK BEFORE HIM.
We are drawing very close to the time
whon the national government will pass
into the bauds of ihe Democratic parly.
Next Saturday Preaident-olect Cleveland
will be inaugurated in the presence of
the greatest aasemblags that ever gath
ered in the front of the national capitol,
The inaugural proceeaion promises to
be a pageant of imposing dimensions,
and every state in the uuion will be
largely repraented in ita line. The peo
ple of the United States look forward to
an administration that will be marked
in the annals of the ountry as one of
the best we hare ever had. Mr. Cleve
land's political ambition has been fully
gratified, aud he is in position to devote
all hia energies aud great abilities to
place the affiira of the country in a con
dition that will prove eminently benefi
cial to all interests and to ail sections,
lie haa many difficult and knotty prob
lems to solve, and although be will
probably fail in righting many wronga
and in relieving many grievances, every
body believes that he will do his utmost
to bring the country back to a sound
and wbolesouio condition. He takes
the reiua of power at a time when
the outgoing party has left the
finances of the government in a
state of chaos—when its policy has
resulted in crippling its resources and
enormously increasing ita expenditure?.
If he shall succeed in restoring tho
finances of the nation to a sound and
pristine haalttt he will have accom
plished a task that wouid have made any
administration memorable. Four years
ago ha left hia succesaor a treaaury bur
dened with a Burpluaof $100 000,000. He
return 1 ) to power to find tha secretary of
the treasury atrujtgl.ng to pass the offic?
over to Mr. Carlisle in a condition which
he dare no; avor is solvent. Of course
tho party which haa brought about this
deplorable condition will assail Mr.
Cleveland wilh tho utmoit virulence and
asperity if he do not at onca cure all the
shameful ovila which four years of flagi
tiou3 miagovemment have ontailedupon
hi. administration. If he succeeds in
curing one-half of them he will bs en
titled to tns thanks of the country.
A nice piece of nepotism haa cropped
out in the board of education. Director
Piatt haa a son, and a place must be
made for him. Accordingly Mr. Baker,
who waa serving ss clerk of the board at
the stipend of $15 per month, was
"fired," aud Piatt junior inducted into
his placa at the same salary. Piatt pc\re
got the ring to raise thia salary to $60 a
month, and another poor devil, who had
a place with a salary of $50a month, was
aIEO removed and Piatt junior given his
position. The young man now haa a to
tal income from the school board of $110
per mouth. Verily the Platts, with the
aid of the ring, look out for No. 1. With
them, aa with the fellows around the
Danish court, it is "thrift, thrift, Hora
tio." We shall pay our respects to this
ring baforo it ia much older.
What kind of a bill waa that which
passed the Rs?emhly yesterday making
an ppropriation for the erection of sn
additional building for the Southern
California asylum for insane and in
ebriates? His the state gone inll> com
pete with tho Keeley cure establish
ments? If bo, let us look for a tax rate
that will nuka property ownera tremble
in their boots.

The following are extracts from letters
of regret received by Secretary Willard
of tbe chamber of commerce from nota
bles who were invited to the banquet
at Kedondo on Saturday night. They
will be found of considerable interest:
Telegram from Leland Stanford- I
regret I cannot be withyou tomorrow
evening and enjoy your social gathering.
. . My sympathies and warm
friendship will be with you at the ban
quet.
Telegram from C. N. Felton: Sincere
ly regretting the impossibility of my
meeting with you tomorrow, I beg to as
sure you of my high appreciation of
your organization, which has conduced
co great iy to the interests of the Btate and
your city.
From Senator Stewart, Nevada: lam
in receipt of your kind invitation to be
present at the annual banquet of tbe
chamber of commerce of Los Angelea,
which will take place at Kedondo Beach,
February 25, 1593 I regret oxcoedingiy
my inability to attend. . . .
The wonderful progress of the south
ern part of California in the last SUyears
is marvelous. I iirat vißited Los Angeles
in the summer of 1851. It wae then a
Mexican village, with all the peculiari
ties of a Mexican town. When 1 last
visited yonr city it was a great, growing
and proaparoue city of the most im
proved type; not only the city of Lob
Angeles, but everywhere in your beauti
iul valley seemed a paradise when com
pared with what it wan 40 years ago.
I congratulate tbe chamber of com
merce ior ita energy, enterprise and
great success in aiding to build up the
city and develop the resources of the
state of California, and I wish you all
continued prosperity and happiness. . .
From Ex-Senator Edmunds : I have
juat received via K*dlanda your very
kind invitation to attend tbe annual
banquet of the Loa Angelea chamber ot
commeroe to be given at Kedondo Beach
on the 25th mat.
I much regret that it is impracticable
for ma to have the pleasure of being
preeent at the time. Your organization
on this magnificent border of the tran
quil sea suggests aud tends to aasuro
the realization of the Tait possibilities
this coast presents for tho future ad
vantage of the whole republic. Asia,
and the regions of Central aud South
America, are great and almost unopened
eouroes with which any new enterprises
of commerce can have to do. These
Bonrces are prodigal of the products
needful for the uaea of modern civiliza
tion. With intimate and commanding
relations with the Sandwich islands and
with the Nicaragua canal, the United
States will become tho just and friendly
mistress of the future commerce of the
globe. . . .
From Senator-elect Stephen M.
White: I know that you will huve an
enjoyable meeting and only wish I
could participate, fhecnamber of com
merce ia a necessity. Los Angeles could
not get along without it. I expect to
call upon you frequently in the course of
my senatorial career for advice and as
sistance. You can rest assured that any
communication that the chamber at any
time sees fit to forward me will be
promptly attended to.
I may be permitted to remark that
under the mauagement of the present
president the chamber will certainly be
fully up to tho standard.
Telegram from Governor Markham:
. . . Please Bay to the members that
I am heartily ia accord with the pur
pOßea of the organization and hold my-
Belf in readiness to assist them in any
way possible in thia work.
Irom W. S. Roaecrana: ... It
would be very gratifying to me to be
with you on that occasion, but the med
ical prescriptions, which brought me
here, forbid such indulgencea. You are
the repreaentativea df the commerce of a
city oi 05,000 inhabitants now dwelling
and doing business in elegant and sub
stantial modern houisß and stores,
whe c, in April, 1860, when I firat Baw
it, triers seemed not to be more than
",000 or 1000 people, dwelling and doing
business in one etory adobe and a few
two-atory plain brick and frame houses.
A brief statement of the views and im
pressions I had on April 10, 186(5, when
I first aaw Loa Angelea, might be of in
terest to you. My viewa have not al
tered and they are confirmed by the
substantial prosperity now manifested
in the numerous flourishing, well-built
towns, villages and plautations Fur
rounding your city. I ehould be glad to
thus interest you, but the doctors and
prudence forbid. . . .
From Bill Nye: . . . If I had the
time I would be glad to write you a let
ter which would cheer you up bo that
you would almost eDjoy our absence.
Too busy for comfort. . . .
From C. P. Huntington: . . .
There ia ao much to cay about our glo
rious California that one need not be at
a losb to respond to any toaat that bas
for its sentiment the past or the present
or the future of the Golden Btate. I be
lieve even I myself, unaccustomed
though I am to public speaking, coold
find among Californians enough to talk
about on such a theme, and aa menial
vision carries me over and beyond her
lofty, snnw clad mountains, snd I look

down her broad and charming valleys, I
cannot but exclaim : "How grand 1 how
beautiful I" Surely tbe people who have
such an abundance from which to sat
isfy their physical needs, and such an
overflow of beauty from which to gratify
their intellectual longings, ought to be
most truly happy; and I often ask my
friende from tbe cold and inhospitable
country, the land of the blizzard, that
we call the far northwest: "Why do
you not come to that most beautiful of
all countries, California, queen of all the
states?" Many tell me that they intend
to go when they get enough money for
the purpose, but that land ie dear there,
and I have beon amused to hear
them say, also, that information
reaches them through the San Francisco
newspapers that the railroad takes co
much that they are afraid to cast their
chances there. Si I tell them a little
story about a farmer in the Saa Joaquin
valley who had a friend from the East
visiting him and to whom be was show
ing his well cultivated acres. The
farmer waß telling his friend what high
freight rates he had to pay to get his
product to market and remarked, with
bitterness, that the rail-oad was very
hard upon the poor farmer, and as they
walked along they came to a thriving
peach orchard of 20 acres and the farmer
stopped to say with pride: "That orch
ard yielded me $400 net per acre on my
last crop." Passing it they entered a
magnificent vineyard of over 40 acres.
Hia friend exclaimed with wonder at tbe
sight, bo curious to Eastern eyes. "From
that vineyard," said the farmer exnlt
ingly, "I made on my last crop of grapes
over $500 an acre."
Hie Eaßtern friend looked reflectively
about him. Perhaps the thonght oc
curred to him that this sum represented
an interest of 5 per cent, on $10,000 an
acre and he aaked : "How much did you
pay for thiß land?" "Six dollars an
acre about 10 years ago," was the re
ply.
"Well," eaid tho Yankee, with a
Bmile, "it seems to me that if the rail
road would treat you a little better you
would bj doing fairly well."
So, when I tell inquirers here about
my state—for I am a Californian in
spirit all the time —and how land in her
moat charming valleys before the rail
road was built could be bought for from
$1 to i.: an acre that now, with railroad
facilities added, sells at from $25 to $75
an acre, I always think of this little
story and I sometimes tell it. But what
ever I aay I always tell seekers after new
homeß tbat they can find their earthly
paradiae in California, and that no part
of the Btate ie more productive, more
healthful, more captivating in every
sense than the fertile, level landa that
lie between the S erra Madre and San
Jacinto mountains and the sea, in the
midst of which lies a flashing jewel—
the famed aud beautiful City of the
Angels.
I euprj»se my San Pedro friends would
feel a little hurt if I failed, when talking
about Los Angeles, to mention a place
that lies co near, and they are all auch
good fellows that I am glad to extend
kindly greetings to them, aIBO, on this
occasion. But this necessitates speak
ing of a beautiful town even nearer to
your city and its natural embaicadero,
viz.: Santa Monica, which, when im
proved, is baund to become one of the
finest harbors in the world. I look con
fidently forward to a great future for
Los Angeles when it shall have become
tbe center of a marvelous commerce,
and when its handmaid, Banta Monica,
shall doits part in helping to make her
the great mart of reciprocal interchange
between our own people and tbe nations
across the aea.
If I were with you I would offer thiß
toast: "Tho prosperity of Lob Angeles;
may it be a grand monument of intelli
gent enterprise, the pedestal of which
shall be fair play to all."
From Richard C. Kerens of the Ter
minal Ra lway company: . . . Cir
cumstances which I have bean unable
to control, have prevented me from be
ing in Lob Angeles at thiß time.
During last autumn, while spending
an evening with that grand American.
Mr. Blame, it waß programmed that I
should accompany him to Los Angelea
thiß winter; but alas for the pnrpoßeß,
promiees and intentions of man! They
do not always realize those expectations.
Mr. Blame, that great American, whose
loss every intelligent citizen of the
republic now mourns, bad set hia heart
upon the viait to Los Angeles, in fact,
had been contemplating it for years.
Many, many times have I Bpoken with
him on the subject, and described the
advantages and pleasures of its mag
nificent climate, Bcenerr and rejuvenat
ing atmoßphern. It would have been
worth a great deal to the material inter
ests of the San Gabriel valley bad the
. great etateanian been permitted to carry
out his longed-for vißit in your inidat.
But the Mighty Ruler of all things had
otherwise decreed, and the brilliant
though Btorrmy life, loaded with sorrow
in his declining yeare, hae gone out, and
the republic is the loser. With him
California was always a special pride,
and the grand state weat of the Bierra
Nevadas haß ever championed his
cauee; therefore, be it eaid to the ever
lasting credit of California, thnt Mr.
Blame was their idea of statesmanship,
and their pride.

Southern California ie rapidly coming
to tbe front and her advantages of cli
mate and other interests are becoming
year by year better understood. There
is no spot on the American continent, or
in any other country in Christendom, bo
enjoyable to reside or sojourn in, in
winter or in summer, aa is the valley of
the Ban Gabriel Tbie I
say without fear of successful contradic
tion, and with the experience of exten
sive travel throughout the old world.
From George K. Davis, director-gen
eral of the world's fair: . . . One of
my moat pleasant memories is that of a
trip through your state a dozen yearr
ago. ... I was greatly charmed
with your state, and especially with
that portion of it known as Souther n
California. . . .
From four counties of that eection
have come more applications for pomo
logical exhibits than from all the rest of
tbe state, and the space has been as
signed.
Nearly half an acre in the building has
been eet apart for a bearing orange or
chard. Space has also been set apart
for all varieties of semi-tropical and de
ciduous fruits, fresh, canned, dried,
crystallized; wineß and brandies; al
monds, Kngiish walnuts, pecans and
peanuts ; olive oil, olives, etc.
From J, H. Samuels, chief of depart
ment of horticulture, world's fair: I
regret exceedingly that, my duties in
connection with the department of hor
ticulture of the World's Columbian ex
position at this time, 10 weeks before
the fair opens, prevent me from ac
cepting your kind invitation to attend
your banquet.
Ab I write there is raging one of the
fiercest blizzards of the winter, which
naturally makes one yearn for the
balmy breezes of your sunny clime.
Having spent several delightful winters
in Southern California, I learned to ad
mire tbe energy and enterprise which
her citizens possesa to a remarkable de
gree. They were the first people on the
face of the earth to effectually refute the
opinion generally entertained that cold
climates alone are conducive to quick
action, physically and mentally. . . .
From E. B. Pond, president chamber
of commerce of San Franciaco: . . .
lam in receipt of your kind invitation
requesting my presence at the annual
banquet of your chamber on the 25th
instant, and regret tbat I am unable to
accept the honor by attending on tht>t
occasion. You invite me to a banquet
of California products and when I con
sider the luxurious productions of your
soil —the live, bright and energetic men
your membere are made up from, 1 feel
that I am a great loser in miaaing so en
joyable an evening. . . .
From Governor Mnrphy of Arizona:
... I regret exceedingly my inabil
ity to attend, because of urgent official
duties requiring my preaenee here. . .
. Arizona extends greeting and cordial
good will, however, and in a spirit of
friendly rivalry declares that it is her
purpose to very Boon equal iv quality

The excellent quality of this CREAM is the result of experi
ments extending over several years. It is an unsweetened cream.
It is SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHER BRANDS in every ele
ment tnat makes it desirable as a substitute for pure cream or
milk, being entirely free from the objectionable color and flavor
of other brands. As a food for infants it has no equal. If is a
perfect substitute for mothers' milk. A trial of a single can will
convince the most skeptical of its superiority. Ask for the
COLUMBIAN BRAND. For sale by the best grocers.
