GOVERNMENT AND THE UNEMPLOYED
As winter approaches there is the usual
agitation on the subject of employment
for the unemployed; and of course the
paternalist is on hand with suggestions
as to how the government can best "take
care" of tbosa who, merely through
lack of opportunity, are unable to sup
port themselves. Nothing could be more
erroneous than the idea that it is ihe
duty of a civil government to provido
employment for those who may happen
to need it and who apply for il. lint the
fallacy is advocated not the un
employed themselves, but by many intel
ligent persons who are in comfortable
circumstances.
It is never the proper function of a
civil government to give employment to
anybody for the sake of aiding those who
may want employment. It is true the
federal government noes constantly em
ploy thousands of persons to perform
certain kinds of public work. So do the
various local governments, according to
the public necessities; but that ia because
the work must be dine, and not because
the government, is nnder either legal or
moral obligations to employ those who
want work. If such an obligation ex
isted it cuulo nowhere be justly limited as
to tho numoer of persons who should bo
thus paternally cared for. It is, however,
the duty of a civil government to provide
such legislation as will afford all the peo
ple equally free and unobstructed access
to natural resources. Having done that,
the government has performed its duty
toward the unemployed. In fact, with
nature's inexhaustible storehouse released
Irom the grasp of monopoly, there would
be no unemployed among those who real
ly wanted work. If all valuable land in
the United Slates were put to its best
use, there would be no id Is men who
wanted employment. Government aid
for the unemployed, in a great emergen
cy, .may be proper as a makeshift; but at
best the relief afforded can bo only par
tial and temporary. The underlying
cause of idleness is the monopoly of an
element which alt human brings must
use, every hour, and without which hu
man iife cannot be sustained.
Land and lanor, the twin factors in
wealth production, were joined together
by tho laws cf nature, but man's laws
have forced them asunder, Give labor
the opportunity to which it is justly en
titled, and it can never have any excuse
for asking the government to become its
father or its nurse.
GRAND JURIES
The layman reading the law covering
the culling of grand juries in this county
would think tbat two grand juries for
each year were required. The language
of the law is plain enough. It says that
two grand juries shall bo summoned
•ach year. The execution of tbis law is
now entirely in tho hands of the superior
judges of the county. As it is incredible
that these judicial officers should deliber
ately nullify or disoboy any of the laws
ihey are specially sworn to support, the
layman is forced int.. a different explana
tion of the fact that we neve.- have more
than one grand jury a year. This expla
nation may be found in the otherwise
astounding delay in calling the present
grand jury. It is now nearly two years
since tho last grand jury was convened.
That was a jury that indicted but few
public officers; amongst these were two
city school board men, etc. Thai jury,
however, caused more changes in tho
bookkeeping and m the conduct of public
business tban any public body of any
kind has done in this stnte in the snme
time. Considerable money was recovered
from official defalcations line that of the
street superintendent's office, and mai y
politicians were saved from the moral
elide on which political pr:s surejwithout
public attention bad placed thorn. A tax
collector, for instance, was hauled up
short for lending public money on a
"gold Orick." That last jury rattled the
political hones into the most seclude!
iioss haunts and thoroughly alarmed tho
whole political push. Nearly two years
elapse before another such dangerous
body is called. The law on grand juries,
then, which appears in common-place
language to call for two grand juries each
year, mint bo judicially interpreted to
mean "One grand jury every two years."
The reason for two grand juries a year
in a large county like ours may be sum
marized as follows:
First—The grand jury is the sole
method of tho people under our system
of exercising proper supervision over its
officers and public business. The grind
jury ia an esaentia! feature of our system.
Its examinations not only aiscover
wrong-doing in public affairs, but, what
is really more important, tend lo prevent
laxity, waste and corruption in these.
Second—ln a great county like Los An
geles a proper supervision and examina
tion of tho public business by a grand
jury requires nearl/ the entire year.
For instance, as matters now stand,
scarcely any school district, town or city
outside of Los Angeles has ever Deen
examined at all.
Third—No responsible and active men,
such as should exclusively compose a
grand jury, can afford an entire year,
except at great sacrifice to their work..
Fourth—Every part and parcel of the
public business should be frequently and
thoroughly overhauled by men as free as
possible from the usual political influ
ences.
F?ftb—Tbis can never bo done in Los
Angeles with one grand jury a year,
much less with one every two years. The
citizen taxpayer must deeply regret that
the legal language saying two grand
juries shall be summuned in one year
judicially means one grand jury in two
years.
ROADS
The reecnt slight rain storm,the initial
sprinkling of the season, is sufficient to
precipitate a consideraiton of the ques
tion of good roads With the rapid in
crease in the population of this county
and its consequent development, the sub
ject of country roads becomes one of the
most important before the people.
Tbat Lob Angeles county has about the
most indifferent roads of any county of
its population and general private im
provement, must be admitted. As far as
roads may be indicative of tbe character
and aspirations of the people of a section,
those of this county certainly do not
speak flatteringly of the ropulace. The
majority of our highways would suggest
the presence here of a shiftless, ne'er-do
well class of people, thoroughly well
satisliod to lead a primitive existence, in
stead of tho live, progressive and enter
prising lot of people wo really have. It
is safe to assert that practically every
resident of this county is ambitions for
its prompt settlement and its speedy de
velopment. It is also safe to assert that
few of these residents realize what an
important part in the building up of a
section good roads play. It might almost
be said that after the preliminary stages
of settlement the good road is an essen
tial factor in the rapid and economical
growth of the country.
It is about time tbat the people of this
conuty recognized those facts, and fol
lowed tbe recognition with effective
action. We have had a plenitude of
conferences in the last year regarding the
matter, but a decided poverty of results
or of even plans providing for results.
Witli the coming ot the rainy season
and its inevitable concomitants of mud,
slush and hidden chuckholes, the incon
venience, discomfort and expense of
traversing some of our notoriously evil
thoroughfares may arouse such indigna
tion and dlssatisfao ion on the part of
horsemen, drivers and bicyclists tnat do
the traveling, as will ba productive of
early betterment.
ANOTHER " RUINED" INDUSTRY.
The report of Special Treasury Age.it
Aver on the condition of the tin plate
industry is one of those things the Re
juiblian party will consider most un
timely and will bitterly lament the pub
lication of. The report covers the liscal
year ending June 30, 1890, and shows a
splendid increase in the number of mills
for rolling the steel sheets, or black
plates, whisb form the body of commer
cial tin. The increase in the production
ovet last year was 30 per cent. Forty
eight liirms were producing in the last
quarter of the year, against forty for the
corresponding period of last year.
Twenty-six new firms engaged in the
business during tbe year. These and
several othor interesting facts gleaned
; trom the report indicate that the destruc
tion of the tin plate industry it was so
! conlidently predicted by the Republi
cans, would be wrought by the "Wilson-
Gorman freo trade tariff" bill, is yet
j distant.
SUNSHINL FOR DE PUSH
The cabals about tho city hall ami the
politicians generally have lost that anx
ious look and do not seem to be trying
tn find it again. The reason of all tbis
political sunshine is the reported deter
mination of the grand jury not to expert
the city offices, and in fact to look into
no public business whatever outside of
the county books, unless a citizen makes
oath that something is wrong. This ex
traordinary immunity of the city politi
cian is all the more extraordinary wben
we reflect on the last grand jury's report,
wherein the greatest need for grand jury
I work was shown to be in the city. Two
years, almost, have plipped away and
the records for future examinations grow
more and more unwieldy. This, how
ever, may be a precedent to prevent any
more annoying discoveries of malfeasance
and emhozzlement in the city hall. De
push grins,, while the taxpayer mourns.
A Card to th: Public
I.OS ANGELES, Oct. 23, 189r>. An ar
ticle in the Los Angeles Record of this
date headed A Scapeboat, says, among
other things, "He (meaning myself, says
he took Lowery up in this city when he
was hungry and that now he has got him
self into trouble he w;ll have to get him
self out." This is untrue; whatever 1
have done for Mr. Lowery has been
tbrougu the warmost friendship and con
sidering him an honorable and upright
man and I never made the remark im
puted to me aoove quoted.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 23, 1895.
CLIMATE LAND
BY ABBOT KINNEY
11.
Egypt, above Cairo, is a narrow strip
of bottom land. A view Irom the low
desolate bills that mn parallel to the
valley a few miles on either aide gives
the only realizaton of the situation.
From such a point one sees the little
narrow ribbon of green threading its way
through the glowing sand and sun-blist
ered rooks, tho sania indefinitely to the
north, indefinitely to the south, and
oarien wastes spreading everywhere,
desert, on desert, on desert, into an infi
nite region. After a few such views it
gave me no surpriaj to learn that the
territory supporting the hoary history ot
Egypt about equaled the territory of Bel
gium, that giant in industry and pigmy
in size.
Out cf so little has come ao tcuch.
The ruina of Egypt are tbe only very
old ones tbat are well preserved. Built
of solid masses of stone in a rainless cli
mate, they are today just as they were
thousands of years ago. Fiven tho color
of the frescoing and decoration remains
bright and fresh, except where the torch
of me guide has blackened it. Such is the
condition o* vast numbers of Egyptian
torn! s and temples. Vast numbers to
have been spoiled or removed, not by
nature, but hy man. Camhyses and his
Persians made a business of destroying
the grand temples of Thebes, and others
followed in his footsteps, down to the
iconoclastic fury of tbe lire-souled
Christian anchorite. Thrift has also
played its part in destroying. Whole
towns have been built out of temples,and
tombs have furnished quarries to the
builder from generation to generation.
Even th. 1 great pyramids did not escape.
Originally covered with smooth white
marble from base to summit, they are
now rough tiers of great rock blocks.
Only a little cap ot the old marble cover
ing remains on one of them. The rest is
in tbe fountains, mosques and minarets
of Cairo.
JVIy lirst visit tc Egypt was at tho
building of the Suez canal. The country
was thronged with distinguished people,
all of whom wore lavishly entertained by
tbe khedive. the only difficulty being to
lind a place to lay one s head. At chat
time there were many American officers
in the Egyptian service. These made
life very pleasant to Americans, nor did
I liir! the English o.tieers much behind
thorn in giving us a kind reception.
Two Englishmen I shall never forget.
In one of tho desert oases there is an old
tomb deep covered with the sand drift.
It is approached by an inclined descent,
and at its entrance lies an Immense sar
cophagus hewn from a single block of
stone. Behind the cottin four of us stood
in the dark entrance for twelve hours
against a predatory bund of Bedouins.
My last irip to Egypt was made witli the
intention of making it my residence. Hut
the summer, the institutions and the
peope were too much for me. One can
live in Egypt a lifetime and never become
an Egyptian. Tbe condition of the country
ano climate are peculiar and have perpe -
uated through ail mutations tho native
race. The curious narrow hips, broa I
shoulders and slim bodies of the hiero
glyphic men, made six thousand years
ago, are tugging at the boat, oar or work
ing tbe shadoof with tbe monotonous
chant,
Ya ha bam mad
Ya Solieman, etc.,
today as though they had walked out of
some ancient bus-relief. These Fellaheen
work incessantly, but without courage,
hope or intelligence. They give one the
effect of what athletes call "going stale."
Take the shadoof for instance; this is
j a long pole with a stone at one end and
' a bucket at tbe other pivoted on another
pole in the ground. As the Nile goes
down and tbe banks rise these are going
everywhere The Eellah pulls the bucket
down into lb:' water and the stone lifts
it up a few feet, when he turns tbe water
into a little basin. Hi re is another
shadoof and another Fellah, and so on
till tbe general level is reached, when a
little trickle of water flows to iirigate
[be crop. All ibis goes on from fourteen
to sixteen hours a day. Warner says that
the first requisite of a gardner is a cast
iron hinge in the back; if this he so then
the lirst requisite of a sbadoof Fellab is
a back made of nothing but cast-iron
hinges. These people work too much to
accomplish a great deal.
On this Irip I went up the Kile with
Mrs. Julia Ward ilowe, reading Homer
in the Greek, and her daughter. Miss
-Maud, now Mrs. Elliott, who lent that
interest and zest tv tho party that can
only come from tho presence of a fisauti
-1111 and fascinating woman. Dr. Stillman
was tbcre too, but more devoted to Byron
than to Rameeeg. He read Childe Har
old aloud until I believe I could re'dte
Ihe whole of it. Young James Flood,
the financier, was of tbe party, and a
pleasant member ho was.
Strangely enough 1 have never eeen
him in my twelve years of t'alifornia.
The Riviera de l'ouente is a narrow
belt of country on the Mediterranean be
tween Marseilles and Genoa, it is part in
France, part in Italy and part in Hell.
Hell with due deference for this gam
blers' paradise,the principal city-of Mon
aco, is the most beautiful and the best
located of all the rituations on the ttiv
lera.
The Riviera has the titleless Mediter
ranean on one side and the rocks of the
Alps on the other. Wherever v torrent
opens through the mountains tbe mistral
blows and the climate is deteriorated. So
narrow and rocky is this coast that the
shore railroad is a series of tunnels and
viaducts. The old waeon road was known
as the "Cornico road" oy reason of its
supposed resemblance to the cornice of a
building. Every available nook and cor
ner of this strip of climate is gardened,
terraced, built on. Many of the towns
are a series of terraces on the mountain
sides. The houses seem to be climbing
the hills, l'nere is but one large vsllev
opening out to the sea. tnat near Cannes.
A smaller one at Nice is very narrow and
restricted and largely occupied by tbe
pebbly bed of a dry mountain toirent that
is dry except during a diluvial rain or
tuountain snow melting. Tbe wide Ded
of this torrent with its miles of stone
protecting dikes is a notice of the effects
of forest destruction on mountain and
the work of the French forest department
in reforesting and treating their water
shed is a notice of the time end cost of
curative measuies.
Coming into the Riviera from Marseil
les the little town of Hyeres is tho tirsi
health resort. This place is a sort of
climate outpost. It is entirely isolated
from the rest of the climate reuorts and
is surrounded by place of no hygemc
reputation, tis dull, pretty place with
a fewgoou palm trees. Her motherly
magesty. the queen of Great Britain and
empress of India, is to spend a part of
the winter at Hyeres. or rather at Coste
bclla near by. There is a pine wood at this
place and many charming villas and
good hotels. Amongst the villus is the
costly reticat of tho Duke of Grafton. It
is three miles from tho sea and in this
respect is alone amongst the Itiviera re
sorts.
Cannes is larger, has more Accommo
dations ami i» more exposed. It is indeed,
w.tb Nice, the least protected of any of
these places. Lord Brougham set the
tide to Cannes and made it) popular
amongst the English. The American
birds of passage never did lake very
much to it; they go on the fevr miles to
Nice. Nice is a city—a gay city in win
ter and a dead city in summer. It has n
grand promenade, theaters, clubs, ca
sinos, military bands and sewage, a city
of nearly a hundred thousand inhabitants
dumping its sewage into a tideless sea
aligned by its hotels and villas is bound
to create a nuisance. Cannes a few miles
away with some twenty thousand people
does the stme. Tho high death rate in
these places can scarcely ba wondered nt.
I have a special prejudice agaiost the
sewage ol Cannes. It was in one of its
excellent hotels thav I long lay ill. very
near Charonn's ferry, smelling the smells
in that long, dull October. Don't go to
the Riviera in Ootober. It is the rainy
seuson; the air is heavy, muggy, as the
English say, and nothing has commend.
An invalid can gain nothing by being
thore then, and no one els- but a gamble!
at Monte Carlo could find life tolerable.
Hotel keepers, valets us place, waiters,
thrust themselves on the attention, in
groups and smglv here and in the vim
vista, prepared for ihe tourist and the
season, but no tourist and no seasun.
What is one among so many?
Nice is indeed a gay place, or was in
'lift. Here one meets the reckless and
the rich of all Europe seeking winter
quarters. It is only a few minutes by rail
from Monte Carlo (Monaco). European
home social conventions are relaxed and
one meets prince and merchant in the
same hall or dub.
Tho beautiful Madam Rataygi.nee Bona
parte dazzled Nice with both jewels and
looks. She was then young, of course, as
beautiful women must be, but a sort of
second youth, and now tho papers say
she is having still a fresh - affair de
coeur."
One sees all sorts of life. I romembor
the dinner of a Russian princess at which
each of us received a costly jewel, and
the arrest the same evening of an adven
turer who had been entertaining the
toAtn on the credit ol his supposed vast
fortune. ■ Nobles blue with their descent
from the most orthodox bandits are
cheek by jowl with the sorriest speci
mens of the social purusite. The Ameri
can visitors take up with cither class
with about equal frequency. The nobles
of Europe had in feudal times a very
sound reason for being. They wero a vi
tal organ of society. Now they are not,
and like any unused organ must go into
an atrophy and decay. Thus the rag, tag
and bobtail of feudality does and must
proportionately increase vi.til knights
and ladis are hecome only a memory.
There will be, Ihough, a nobility of
heart and brains to run the earth, and
some few of tbe titled ones of today may
be in ft.
Through a tunnel or two and a short
run lands us at Monte Carlo, a lovely
pluce on tho side of tho steep mountain,
plantej and terraced into a garden. In
front is the blue Mediterranean and the
old town of Monaco covering a small
rocky peninsula. The prince had ono
soldier and a number of antique cannons
inscribed with the motto in Latin "The
last resort of kines."
The rule in Monaco is different from
that in Louisiana. In our sister state the
preamble of the lottery law sets forth the
advantage of keeping the gambler's mon
ey at home, therefore to make a home
market, as it Wert", they i a home
industry and protect it from Havana and
other lottery marauders, in Monaco,
however, there is one strict rule, no citi
zen is allowed to enter the gaining rooms
and tho homemarkot is protected against
the home monopoly,
Beautiful as this place is, both natural
ly and by man's work,one has only to go
into the roulette to see the ugliest thing
in tje world —the human passion for un
earned gain made visible in expression.
There are iwo things that the philos
opher may note at Monaco more easily
than in most places—first, tbe thinness
•:f the veneer of on- civilized conven
tiona, and. second, their toughness, elas
ticity and vitality.
Though man is so near barbarism, he
is still so far away from it, and that, too,
not only in rules and conventions, out
in instincts that have grown into his
life.
Monaco has its last men and fast
women; its habitual gamblers for excite
ment, its dabblers on t..e edge, its
waders and those who plunge into the
depths where vast fortune or financial
ruin and suicide indifferently await
them.
The games at Monaco run nearly con
stantly. They are Roulette and Rouge
et Noire. Besides the regular game in
each case a number of arra gements are
made for side beti on the table, based on
tbe vasrarios of the call or card. The
busino'S is conducted lairly. Outside of
the large returns possible for a small
chance in roulette, the bets aro rfven as
to each one between the bank and the
gambler. The bank gains through the
practiculiy universal increase of winners'
stakes and decrease of losers. Thus a
man winning ten time 3 has a tendency
to increase his bets until, when he loses
the eleventh time he will have a larger
stake to lose than at the fifth, and so,
contrariwise, the loser of ten bets will
have a smaller stake on his winning
elevenht than he had on his first, and
so, while the laws in chance on betting
on a color would give the bank and the
gambler Ihe same number of successes in
a given time, this tenaency to increase
bets when winning and decrease them
when luring, makes toe gamlber win
less and lose more than the bank. Rome
times great winings are made at Mon
aco, but it is rare that a winner can
leave off gambling or that he ever even
tually gets away with his gain.
Mentone, the chin, has long been ad
vertised to the world by the writings of
Dr. Bennett, who there regained his
health ami lived many consecutive
winters. The income of Mentone comes
about in equal pans from tourists and
from lemons. Both are terraced up the
hillsides and both do very well. As Dr.
Bennett pointed out long ago, the diffi
culty of the sewage question lias grown
with the piosperlty of this, as of all the
Riviera places, I am inclined to agree
with Dr. Bennett that Mentone is the
most sheltered of the Riviera resorts.
Certainly it is the lemon producer of the
shore, and thus must be less subject to
climatic extremes than those places
where this delicate tree does not suc
ceed. Burdighera, beyond, lias an in
terest peculiar to it, from its monopoly
in furninshlng palm leaves to Rome for
tho Easter festivities. Kan Kemo is in
tbe finest and most important health re
sort of the Riviera in Italy. It is a quiet
place, somewhat affected by Germans
since tbe late Empsror Frederick spent so
much time tnero. In my timo Alassio
was the only other station with modern
accommodations before reaching Genoa,
the superb. Here ends the "Riviera di
ponente."

LANCASTER LOTS
The Los Angeles Herald is giving away
town lots at Lancaster to its subscribers.
Its contemporaries call tho gift a rank
swindle, saying tbat Lancaster is only a
sagebrush and alkali waste, and the lots
are not worth the money it takes to re
cord the deeds. If any Los Angeles paper
bad, not so many years ago, given away
lots in what is now Rcdlands, Ontario,
South Riverside or half a dozen other
places, it would have been open to the
same charge of swindling and with just
as much reason as in the case of Lancas
ter. While it is not at all likely that the
Lancaster lots will ever ba worth as
much as property m Los Angeles, yet
there ia nothing more absolutely certain
under the sun than that tho now de
spised place will some day be a good
sized and prosperous town.—liakerstield
Californium
The foregoing from an intelligent con
temporary,published in a proiperom and
growing town, states with groat perti
nency and ability all that The Herald
contends for in its scheme for tbe ex
tens:on of its circulation. Wa may re
mark, incidentally, that the scheme is a
success.

Nervousness
Cannot be permanently cured by the use
ot opiates and sedative compounds. It is
too deeply seated. It is caused by an
impoverished condition ot the blood,
upon which the nerves depend tor suste
nance. This is the true and only natural
explanation for nervousness. Purify, en
rich and vitalize the blood with

Sarsaparilla will give vitality to the blood
and will send it coursing through the
veins and arteries charged with the life
giving, strength building qualities which
make strong nerves. If you are nervous,

relief of which hundredß of people are tel
ling in their published testimonials. Get
