Not worse Than Others.

We protest against the attempt tomake Los Angeles appear in the light

of the wickedest city in America, Toread the outpourings of one of our con-temporaries on this subject, a strangerwould take it for granted that our citywas given over to thieves, gamblers

and harlots. But the picture is muchblacker than we deserve. Inits moralaspect Los Angeles will compare fa-vorably with any cosmopolitan city

in the United States. Itis a peculiarityof a very influential class o£ the Ameri-can people that they deliberately refuseto recognize the fact that there are cer-tain kinds of evils which always haveand always willexist in cities. Thesepeople live in the haze of a delusionwhich makes them believe that theseevils are somehow eradicable. Theytell yon that if the law were enforcedagainst gambling it could be sup-pressed. Yet the fact remains thatthe most stringent measures havenever in any city succeeded in doingso, They have only succeeded indriving it into more secret places

and thus rendering itmore injurious

to the community. Tbe practical

statesman would say to these vision-aries that when an evil cannot beabated it is the work of wisdom tocontrol and regulate it?to so farrecognize it legallyas to bring it outof its dark and secret places and takeaway from it its most dangerous prin-ciple by keeping it under strict police

surveillance. But a proposition to dothis would be received with an ex-clamation of virtuous horror by thegoody-goody portion of the com-munity. To recognize gambling orany other ineradicable evil by licens-ing it and placing it under po-

lice regulation would be held ascompounding with the evil one. Letlis take, for instance, the gamblingso-called Grain Exchange, that hasbeen carried on openly here formonths. Nobody doubts the charac-ter of the business carried on by this"exchange." It is what a Council-man sententiously designated as aself-working faro-bank driven by elec-tricity. Yet we are sure that thevery fact that this new-fangled gam-bling contrivance is carried on openly

renders itmuch less dangerous thanif it were driven into dark cornerswhore the public eye could not lookupon it. Now any employer whoseconfidential desk should play at thisgame would be spotted at once,before he had timo to seriouslyinjure the man he worked for. On theother hand, if the game were carriedon in secret places he mightruin hisemployer before it was known that hehad been playing in automatic margins.The legal adviser of the cityhas notbeen able to And any law to placethis game in the legalcategory of games of chance,and therefore it will doubtlesscontinue to be played openly.The best way therefore, under thecircumstances, to deal with it isto place itunder a high license. Thiswill permit it to exist under the eyeof the public and the surveillance oftbe police. If there is no objection tolicensing this game, why shouldthere be to licensing other gamblinggames, really not less pernicious tothe morals of the communitythan the margin gamble?We may say that regular gambling isprohibited by statute; but we knowthat in this case prohibition does notprohibit. It is a nice question to de-termine the value of a law whichtheoretically suppresses, but which

1 practically, instead of suppressing,Aggravates the evil it aims to correct. I

The debate in the Council on Mondayupon this subject shows that tbereis a perfect consciousness in themembers of that body that gamblingia and has been carried on in thiscity in spite of all the efforts made tosuppress it. Not only this, but thait has in the past been carried enthrough the connivance of the depart

ment having its suppression incharge. It is an open secret that thegamblers have paid for their immunity by corrupting the guardians othe peace. Up to to the presentime no police administration hasabsolved itself froai this charge

We have the most implici

confidence in the integrity of thepresent Chief of Police, and weknow that he has the experience ant

the ability to carry out the dutiesof his office to their fullest extent. This brings us to the conclusionthat ifgambling cannot be suppressedunder his regime, and if it continuesin spite of him, then there is nopower in our Bystcni to eradicate it

When we are placed face to face witha demonstration of this characterthen we are willing to put tho cviunder such reasonable municipairegulation as willenable the authori-ties to control it and render it theleast harmful possible.

Tins is the time of the year whenthe olive can be plantod with safety.It is strange that while so manythousands of trees are and have beenplanted in Southern California in thepast few years, so few growers haveturned their attention to olives. Theplanting of olive trees along the high-ways, and whenever a propertyowner has land that cannot be put toany particular UEe, is urgod by somehorticulturists in Southern California.The olive tree flourishes withlittle care and will grow whereother trees will not. It can beplanted in good bottom land in thesame marner as ordinary trees are.In dry soil that cannot be irrigated,

a hole two and a half feet deep andsix to eight feet square has to be dug.The roots in this loose soil haveroom to spread, and the tree willlive. The olive tree will bear fruit ina few years, and the fruit alwayscommands a good price. Then, too,the olive tree will live and bearabundantly for many years. It isalways in full foliage aud is one ofthe handsomest and freshest lookingtrees we have in this region. It is anornament to any yard or lawn.The market for pure olive oilis extending rapidly, and theproduction is never equal to the de-mand. News comes from the southofEurope that a short crop of olive oilis expected, which will increase thevalue of the production in SouthernCalifornia. The countries along theshores of the Mediterranean, princi-pally France, Italy and Spain, are thechief p oducers of olive oil. Of lateyears cottouseed, poanut and lard oilare represented as being used as adul-terants of foreign olive c il. Withproper attention to the culture of theolive, California will soon doaway with the adulterated arti-cle. Several years ago it wasdemonstrated by meteorological datagathered at various points thatthe climatic conditions for olive cul-ture were favorable over the greaterpart of the State. But Southern Cali-fornia is the home of the olive. TheMission Fathers knew this more thana hundred years ago, and at almostall of the Missions they founded, theyplanted the olive, as well as the vineand the orange, olive oil constitutingan important element in their dailydiet. In the semi-tropical land ofSouthern California, for culinary pur-poses pure olis-e oil is exceptionallyexcellent, and may be ufed advan-tageously in the place of butter andother fats in cooking, as the taste isquite pleasing. -As an article forbuilding up wasted tissues caused bysickness, olive oil is superior to codliver oil. Plant the olive.

A table recently published by theCall, gives the arrivals and depart-

ures of Chinese at the port of SanFrancisco since 1852. In that year20,026 were landed and only 1,708sailed away. The arrivals for thesucceeding twenty-eight years aggre-gate a total of 253,035, while the de-partures for the same period weieonly 123.001. Inthe aggregate since1880 the arrivals number 82,654, and

the departures 75,821. Not allow-ing for those who have reach the Un-ited States via British Colum-bia and Mexico, this wouldleave 136,807 Chinese in the countryat the present time. Some weeks agoan estimate made by the Six Com-panies showed that there were 200,---000 Mongolians then in the Union.Other authorities have placed thetotal number of Chinese in the landat from 225,000 to 250.000. If, as itisclaimed, the Restriction Act is doingbut little, Congress should pass amore effective measure. The Stateseast of the Rockies, which have oflate years received a goodly numberof the Chinese, are beginning toawaken to the fact that JohnnyComprador is not a desirable additionti their population, and, therefore,Congress may be as rigid in a new\u25a0estriction act as the case calls for.Secretary Bayard is reported to havegiven out that a new treaty of abso-lute exclusion is about concluded withthe Chinese Government. As we havestated before, that Government doesnot care a baubee as to such a policy.The governing classes in China wantthe trade of the United States, forthat benefits the rich of the FloweryKingdom. The right to come hereas laborers benefits the poor, and thatclass in China has no rights whichthe rich are bound to or care to re-spect.

Stones From Glass Houses.The Los Angeles real estate man certain

lvknows how to avail himself of every op-

Fortunity tofurther the sale of his lands?I.us Angeles Times.

No one has ever doubted that. Thetrouble has been that he has createdfictitious opportunities, and thatthousands must suffer, are sufferingnow in consequence, of the down-grade of the speculative market hav-ing been reached in Los Angeles. Inthe common sense view of the matter,the dullest can understand that thetown lotschemes of the "Los Ange-les real estate man" will require apopulation of a million in or-der to fulfill the promise of oc-enpanev with which these speculatorshave deluded the people. Naturalrise in values, honest development,uninflated prosperity ? these nonewill decry; but when it is undeuiablethat the lots outnumber the capacityof the population to occupy and im-prove a hundred to one, it is evidentthat speculation must grow weary ofwaiting for the day of promise, audturn back to realize upon itself. Thenretrogression sets in. That must Uethe outcome in every place "boomed"an inch in advance of its commercialand industrial development.?[Sacra-mento Record-Union.

In the same issue of our most es-teemed Sacramento contemporaryfrom which the ab.ive is taken ap-pears a similarly garbled quotationfrom ourselves, which makes us saybaldly, "Climate is the basis of allour claims of superiority."

And our neighbor of the north isvery sensitive as to having "odiouscomparisons" instituted by anyjournal in this section, whereby hisown comes off second best. This beingso he should be careful not to pro-voke these comparisons. He isbright and apt in his defenseof the section to whose interestshe devotes his energies, but anycomparison called out between thetwo parts of the State can not fail toresult most disastrously to hiscause. No orator, were he of thestamp and eloquence of Brutus, him-self, can take up such a losing game

and win. It is not in the cards thathe .-should. Who so well as a Sacra-mentan could preach from such atext as this: "It is evident that s]>ec-ulation must grow weary of waiti'igfor Ihe day of promise, and turn lackto realize upon itself!" How touch-ing the letlection ! "Then retrogres-sion sets in. That must be the out-come in any place'boomed'an inchin advance of its commercial aud in-dustrial development."

That is true ?most true. "Pity 'tis,'tis true; and true'tis,'tis pity!" Ithis been as true as pitiful for lo!these many years. In the ea'ly agesof the world some colonists came lotho eastern shores of the Bos-.diorusand founded the city of Chalcedon.Later came a more wise party andcrossing the strait founded the cityofByzantium, now known as Constant-inople. The latter grew apace on thebeautiful bay around what is nowcalled tlie Golden Ho:n. The city onthe wrong side of the Dardanellesdragged out a sickly existence,and never did come to any-thing. Long years later oneof the Persian satraps gave the placeand all its revenues to his wife as pinmoney. The Byzantines nicknamedtheir neighbor " the city of theblind," because they had built wherethey did, with the "golden horn" andall its wonderful possibilities in fullviow.

In the days of the modernArgonauts, Sacramento was f jundedon the flats along the river bottoms.The founders conceived the high hopethat they had found a place to build aa city. The people with eyes camealong a few months later and builtSau Francisoo at the Golden Gate.Tho place on the river was"boomed"agood many inches "inadvance of itscommercial and industrial develop-ment." As a natural result "specu-lation must grow weary of waiting forthe day of premise, and turn backto realize upon itself." How naturalit was under these circumstances forour esteemed and bright contempo-rary to moralize on such a subject!When, however, he comes to apply itto us, how far wide of the mark heshoots! .?The sales of real estate inthis county for the month ofFebru-ary just closed, ran up to $7,600,000.Sacramento county will not sell halfof that amount of realty inthe current year. On Monday lastour sales came to $480,000.Sacramento will not reach the figuresin three months. Yesterday our recordcame to $250,000. That will overrunSacramento's record for the month ofMarch. There is no "suffering now inconsequence of the down-grade of thespeculative market having beenreached in Los Angeles." All thatis going on here is emphatically inthe way of "natural rise in values,honest development, uninflated pros-perity." There is nothing of anyother nature to be looked for in thiscity. This is by no means a "city ofthe blind." The men who built LosAngeles had eyes; those who are in-terested here now are far-seeing men?and this includes the great bulk ofall the country round about us as wellas the city.

The editor of the Fresno Democrathas been speaking in language that isplain to his brother editor of the Re-publican. The former gives the latterthe lie direct, emphasized by theinterjections of cur and scoundrel,and expresses the wish of a bloodymeeting with his rival. Horace Gree-ley once set a pleasant example ofhow newspaper quarrels can be set-tled. The elder Hale, of politicalfame and memory, was the editorand proprietor of the Boston Adver-tiser, a conservative and staid journal,but rather slow?always a day ortwo behind in its news columns.The younger Hale, who bad been as-sociated with his father, started apaper called To-Day. Mr. Greeely incommenting upon its appearance, 1

said: "Its name is most appropriate,inasmuch as it is the son of yester-day." The proprietor of the Adver-tiser was very indignant, and, in asharp editorial article, informed Mr.Greeley that he had cut off his paperfrom exchange with the Tribune. Mr.Greeley replied in the kindliest man-ner, finding with these words: "Don'tbe angry Mr. Hale, but send alongthe Advertiser; we can't do withoutit." The exchange was not cut offand Mr. Greeley nnd Mr. Hale contin-ued life-long friends.

Tub New York Mail and Expreusays: "The business of the Atlanticand Pacific Railioad Company has soincreased that they have been obligedto make an arrangement with a syndi-cate for $500,000 for a new equipment.The trust will provide fifty new en-gines, to be paid for in sixteen semi-annual payments, with interest at (i

per cent, the principal being abouthalf a million. One thousand twohundred cars will he built and paidfor in tho same way. These willprobably cost if(100,000." Thesefacts speak volumes, and that mostemphatically, touching the growthof Pacific coast business. Theroad referred to here is a link in theAtchison, Topeka and Santa Fc sys-tem. It runs through New Mexicoand Arizona. The local traffic on theline is very meager, and nearly allits equipment is used directly andonlyon through business. Fifty newengines and 1200 cars is a largeamount of addition to make. Thecars are equal to more than 120trains. No doubt the whole forcewill be required to do the tremendousbusiness of the present, and the rap-idly increasing traffic between theMissouri river and Los Angeles.

The Cit-us Fair is closed. It has\u25a0roved to be a brilliant success, andreflects great credit on the peoplewho undertook and managed it,and on Riverside generally. Thedisplay made in this city was avery fino one; but it was not themoiety of what it ought to havebeen. When one reflects that of thisentire county of Los Angeles only onecommunity took the trouble to enterthe Hst3 aa a contributor, it will berealized how much was left un-dor.-; that might aud shouldhava beeu done. Too much creditcan not he bestowed upon Anaheim,the solo representative of Los Angelescounty in the hall. She setup a mostattractive display of her products,which had to ask no odds of any thingin the hall. Mr. F. U. Schaunibur-ger worked like a nailer to accomplishhis purpose, and Anaheim shouldpresent him with a civic crown as atestimonial for his services to thetown.

Is dkvki-oi'mi;ni' by any meansnearly accomplished in this section?To hear the croakers talk one wouldthink such might be the case. Butcroakers aro poor people to seek coun-sel from. They are always blindguides. The San Fernando valley,embracing from this side of Burbankto the Sau Fernando tunnel, and fromthe mouths of the Tejunga andPacoima canons to the Sauta Susanamountains, contains 100,000 acics ofthe choicest lands, 50,000 acres of de-cidedly good lands, and from50,000 to 100,000 acres moreof fair to rather middlinggrades of land. The choicest portionis capable of supporting in the variouspursuits of agriculture 50,000 souls.Along the railroad which passesthrough tho middle of this are fourembryo towns?Tropico, Burbank, Pa-coima and San Fernando. Thesewill grow t > number on an average5,000 each. The next grade of landwill maintain easily 10 COO souls, andthe third grade, let us say, half asmany. Here is an aggregate ap-proximating 100,00;) inhabitants inthis one corner ofLos Angeles county.There are perhaps 1,000 people thereto-day. In five years there will be50,000 there, and in ten years therewill be 100,000 souls on the territory.

The United States is a good placeto live in, especially as regards long-evity. The hale and hearty Englishoctogenarian or the nonagenarian isoften put to the fore as a result of aconservative method of life, and asopposed to the American energeticmethod, which is generally supposedto lessen longevity to the extent that"even the good die young. The LondonLancet has lately shown the fact thatwe in the United States are longerlived than are ourcousins in England.Taking middle-age, forty-five, theLancet finds that whereas "the expec-tation of life" is identical for woncenin the two countries, for men it is oneyear greater here than on the otherside of the water. The activity andpush of American life are evidentlynot so bad for us as it has beenp-tinted. ___________
