FE03I THE PACIFIC COAST

Impartial View of Commercial, Social and Moral Conditions in California.

The Great Eeal Estate Craze Sensational Character of San Francisco Predictions as to Its Future Greatness.

Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. San Francisco, Nov. 1. The southern California of the past has departed; the Southern California of the future is not yet at hand. The traveler of former days who remembers the lazy 8tillnes3 of the Bummer air, the tuiet walks at evening through fragrant flower-gardens, the lo aely gallop along the natural roads, now finds upon a second visit a different state of affairs. Everywhere he finds roar and rush, confusion and dust; the rattle of the carpenters' hammers sounds in his ears continually; the streets are long avenues of dust, thrown up by the constant pro. session of passing teams; and at every point his eye is greeted with the flaring advertisements of the real estate man. In Los Angeles there are several thousand agents, and almost nnles of offices. Dry goods stores, groceries, barber shops, book stores and fruit stands have all divided their space and given half their room to the real estate man. On most of the street corners you find desks standing by the curbstone, where real estate offices have been opened for wani of indoor accommodations. The newspapers are vast broadsides of "boom" literature. No conversation is possible anywhere upon any subject other than real estate. The preacher preaches it, and the theaters would be forsaken without the real estate "gags'' of the actors. Vast excursion trains roll into the depots daily, bringing uncounted masses of people. Everywhere, even in the smallest towns, are to be found either suburban railroads, cable cars, horse cars, electric motors or steam dummies, all packed with struggling humanity. Every day new enterprises of the most colossal character are announced, and it can almost be said that they are no sooner announced than commenced, no sooner commenced than completed. Millions of money lie in the bank vaults of Los Angeles to back these schemes. Everything is counted indeed by fractions of a million dollars. Nothing small receives any attention. Real estate transfers below five thousand dollars are not published. The new enterprises which are being turned out on such magnificent scales relate almost entirely either to the construction of hotels, of railroads, street-car lines, steamer docks or irrigating canals for distributing water to desert lands. There is as yet no manufacturing and practically no commerce, and no effort is noticeable for development in these directions. But in the matter of hotels and transportation, the advance passes belief. In and around Los Angeles there will be completed ho- - tels at the rate of one a week for the next six months, each of which structures have cost from fifty thousand to five hundred thousand dollars. Prices of Los Angeles real estate approximate those of Chicago, while those of Pasadena, a residence town of seven thousand people, eight miles from Los Angeles, are materially higher for all classes of property than those of Indianapolis. The enormous expansion of prices has also extended to fruit lands. The choicest unimproved orange land, with water, can not be had for less than five hundred dollars an acre, which is from three to five times the price of similar lands in Florida. According to " the testimony of fruit growers themselves,no kind of a per cent, of income can be earned by fruit-raising with such prices for land. The result is, the choicest orange groves are being cut up into town lots wherever the location will permit of it. After this frenzy of speculation has subsided, and after the inevitable collapse, there will doubtless emerge from the chaos one of the most charming countries in the world. Vast populations will settle here. When it is remembered that the shores of the Mediterranean sea were densely populated, were lined with cities like Rome, Carthage, Athens and Alexandria, while Europe was yet an unbroken solitude when we consider how quickly the gorgeous civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome sprang into Jheir full-flowered splendor under those sunny skies, while the cheerless depths of the German forests and the inhospitable shores of England were still peopled with savages, we can understand better the swift possibilities of California. The fertility of her soil must rather -be compared to that of the valley of the Nile, or of the Ganges, than to any part of the United States. A country in which ten acres will support a family will in the end contain a vast population. The territory of California is but little less in extent than that of France, and though the arable land is considerably less, the difference in extent is doubtless more than made good whether in the northern or southern part of the State by the greater productivity of the soilIn a few years there will be no gram grown m , California. The land will be devoted to the far ' more profitable fruit-culture. San Francisco is already one of the greatest wine and fruit markets in the world, and this is hardly the beginning. I have heard that the entire shipment of fruit and wine last year from southern California points was only 4 per cent, of the total output of the State, nearly all of which was handled here. Besides this there is to be mentioned the fabulous mineral resources of the State in the way of gold and silver, which France does not possess.

So that in the natural resources of the coun try alone California is not merely the prototype, but the peer of France. For this superb region a great capital, a metropolis, so to speak, is inevitable by all the laws of social growth. France has her Paris, England her London, Italy her Rome, and California her San Francisco. To this city all of the country west of the Rocky mountains and extending along the coast from Puget sound to lower California is. and will always be, largely tributary. Other large and populous places will spring up to supply local necessities, but all these will only be feeders of the great central metropolis. Another element in the future of San Franciso is to be considered- The shores of the Pacific ocean are occupied by more than one third of the human race. There is Japan, and China, and Australia, and New Zealand, which is alone as large and fertile as England, to say nothing of the western coast of Central and South America. The trade of California with these countries will itself be considerable, but far greater will be the traffic of the rest of the United States which must be carried on with these far-off countries through San Francisco. It will be seen at a glance that in all the region of the Pacific ocean San Francisco has not even a single rival. It is the only modern city, representing the commerce, the manufactures, the ideas of European and American civilization upon tho shores of the Pacific ocean. It is many days nearer to Japan and China and Australia than London is. As for the western coast of South America, it is right at the very doors of San Francisco, besides which it must be remembered that San Francisco was originally a Spanish city; that fifteen thousand of its ;resent population are sof Spanish descent and anguage. and that this place is the nearest a3 well as the favorite resort of traders and travelers from South America. "While her material resources and geographical situation give promise that San Francisco will become the third city of the Union, inferior only to New York and Chicago, the question arises whether her moral and socjal progress promises to keep pace with her material advance. To an outsider, the present state of California society may be described as sensational. Every day seems to produce a new sort of sensation of astounding proportions and of a most immoral character. The papers are supplied with headline tvpe of the largest size, but still seem unable to do the subject justice. The bulletin boards are always surrrounded by eager crowds. One day, it is a divorce suit in one of the millionaire families; the next day it is the arrest of one of the richest men in the city for jury-bribing. Again, the president of one of the leading banks engages in a hand-to hand fight and shooting scrape with his daughter-in-law in the parlors of one of the best hotels. The president of another bank attempts to corner the wheat market of the world, loses fifteen million dollars in a week, and transfers his finest property to creditors. In the meantime a prominent physician who is under sentence of death for having poisoned three of his wives has a brothers-law who commits suicide, and leaves a letter declaring that the condemned man is innocent. In the same week two Chinamen are hung here for murder; a many millionaire compromises a breach of promise suit for five hundred thousand dollars, and the oldest and best-known dentist in the city hangs himself in his bed-room. As if this were not enough, word comes from Los Angeles that a young man of high character, with a wife and child, who had made a half million dollars by real estate speculation in the last year, telegraphed his wife at Pasadena that" he had missed the evening train, and would be home in the morning. With this telegram the man disappeared from view. Weeks have elapsed, ana the ablest detectives have been at work, but no trace of the man can bo found. Is desertion, insanity or murder! To complete

the catalogue, word comes that Mr. Mackey is about to attempt to recover by process of law, the entire territory of New Mexico, with all its mines and mountains, its stock ranges, towns and cities, taking it from the present holders by virtue of an old Spanish land grant. I have forgotten to mention that a large number of professional jury bribers are being tried and convicted from day to day, and that last week the grand jury were investigating a charge of bribery against a judge of the Supreme Court, while this week grave charges of corruption in the sheriff's office are being investigated. Out of this unsettled state of society, however, it is to be hoped that sooner or later a new order of things will come. And there is solid ground for such a hope. The University of California, located near this city, is fourth in the United States in point of endowment and its faculty has a rank equal to any in the country. Scholars and scientists and statesmen of the future are now being educated in its halls. A few miles away will shortly rise the walls of Stanford University, with its twenty-million-dollar endowment. Private libraries are being gathered together, and private art collections of the most extensive kind are already to be found in this city. Music and the drama, pulpit and the press are represented by the highest order of talent. The popular conscience is indignant at the disclosures of official corruption. A score of millionaires stand ready to endow other public institutions in the most magnificent manner, when the opportunity shall present itself. The people of this city travel the world over, bringing home new and expansive ideas, while travelers from other countries are to be found here in . large numbers. The crowds are more cosmopolitan snd pieturesque than are to be found on Broadway, New York. Japanese sailors. Chinese merchants with green silk trousers, Spanish adventurers. Frenchmen, who teach fencing. Englishmen, who teach boxing, Italians, Canadians, Swissjand Swede, all mingle in the promiscuous throng. Men come here from all parts of the world to engage in business. Thus it is that there is to be found here a social variety and an atmosphere cosmopolitan, which insures the juxtaposition of widely-different ideas, manners and institutions, and also insures, let us hope, the survival of the fittest. a. l. m.

COL. FRED GRANT.

He Is Not Distressed Over Bis Defeat Nic-

oll's Nomination a Mistake. New York t-pecial.

Colonel Fred Grant does not take his defeat to heart. There was no evidence of disanpointment in his frank and cheerful face as he cor

dially greeted a reporter this evening.

"How do I feel about the result?" he said.

"I hardly knov yet. I cannot tell exactly how I feel until I run behind the ticket. Perhaps

when is remembered what great efforts were

put forth by his fellow-brewers to increase Mr.

Cook's vote I ought not feel badly when my

opponent s majority is larger than that received

by the rest or the democratic . state ticket.

Nevertheless, I believe that I have run ahead

enough votes in the country to counterbalance

the loss 1 nave suffered in the cities. - I am only sorry because the ticket is defeated. I under

stand, although I have not seen it myself, that

some itepuDiican aewssapers to-aay charge the

loss of the State to the assumed unpopularity of the head of the ticket. If this has been said.

I think it unkind, to say the least. . I am well aware that all the reputation I possess is due solely to my father's name, but I am at a loss

to understand why any degree of unpopularity

should attach to me either on that account or

any other. The Colonel then spoke of his services to the Union, particularly during the Indian campaign in the West, aud said that, reviewing his life, he could not discover anything to make him

unpopular as a Republican candidate. "As to the cause of the defeat," he added, "I think now that the nomination of Mr. Nicoll was a mistake. It was honestly made and with the

best intentions, and no one expected more from it than I did. 1 thought it would tend to strengthen the excellent ticket nominated by the Republieans of New York city and county, and I went to the state committee and

urged them to assist in pressing it upon the!

county conventien. But the result has been to swell the vote for the Democratio State ticket by calling out an increased vote here in New York, and to cause the expenditure of large sums of money in the interest of Colonel Fellows and the entire Democratic ticket. For my part, hereafter, I am in favor of straight nominations. It is the best and most honest policy, and I believe it will prove the most successful. I have enioyed the campaign greatly. It has brought me in relations with many whom it has been a great pleasare to know, and with whom I should not otherwise have become acquainted. No, indeed, "I don't regret it for a moment, and have no tears to shed over the result." A Hint to Young Men. Pittsburg Chronicle. Is the defeat of Grant ia New Ycrk an indication that it is a crime to be the son of a great man? AH that could be said against him was that be was "the son of his father." If this is the case, young men cannot be too careful in their selection of paternal progenitors.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Mr. Turpie's Credentials will Be Subjected

to the Usual Routine. Special to the IndJanapoHs Journal.

Washington, Nov. 10. Notwithstanding the threat made by Senator Yoorhees, that he would object to the oath being administered to a Republican Senator-elect if objections were raised to the swearing in of Mr. Turpie, of

Indiana, when the Senate convenes next month.

It is assured that Mr. Turpie will not enter immediately upon the discharge of his duty as successor to General Harrison. A member of the Senate committee on privileges

and elections tells me that the contest of Mr.

Turpie's seat must take the usual course of ref

erence, consideration and - report, before it can be passed upon by the full Senate. Politically

the Senate now stands with two Republican ma

jority, counting Turpie in. If McPherson, of New Jersey, is succedded by a Republican a year from next March, the complexion of the

Senate will not be changed, as that Republican

gain will simply be an offset to the loss of Mr.

Riddleberger, of Virginia, who is to give way to a Democrat at that time. Unless there is some unforseen accident to change the organization of the Senate, it will remain practically as it is

for at least three or four years. Indiana Pensions. Washington Special.

The Yield of Corn. Washington, Nov. 10. The Department of Agriculture reports the yield of corn 19.9 bushels per acre, on about 73.000,000 acres, or, 1,453, 000,000 bushels. About 5,000,000 acres is reported as abandoned before ripening. On the acreage planted the average would be 13.6 bushels per aer j, the same as in 1881. The corn-surplus States average slightly less than In 1881, the thirty-one other States more. The final record will be changed only by slight adjustments. The quality of the crop is much lower than usual in the dry region, and the proportion of the merchantable corn is considerably below the average. General Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Nov. 10. In the Alexandria (Va.) news of this morning's Post is the folio jving: Miss M. A. Lange, of Elkhart, Ind., who has been visiting Mrs. Delane, on King street, will leave for her home this morning, much, to the regret of many friends she made while here.' Civil-service Commissioner Edgerton has declared in favor of Governor Gray for second place on the national ticket next year. He says that Senator Voorhees would not have any show against Gray amongst Democrats in Indiana. The Comptroller of the Currency has declared a fourth dividend of 10 per cent., payable on and after Oct. 28, 1887, in favor of the creditors of the First National Bank of Leadville, Col., making in all 40 per cent on claims proved, amounting to $200,854. The bank failed Jan.

A Ready-Wltted Financier Evolves a Neat Scheme to Defy the Press of Poverty. ' Sew York Mail and Express. "There is no use in starving in this day of mental activity," observed a tail man, whose face indicated a large amount of shrewdness. "No," responded his companion. "Not so long as there are boarding-houses, restaurants, hotels and money in the world." "I mean without money." "Yes, but some people have scruples' against county jails and almshouses." "Nor do I mean that, either." "What do you mean, then?" "I mean that any man who has his wits about his person and knows bow to nse them can live without paying anything for it and be actually paid for the boisor by his host." "How so?" "Between ourselves I will relate a little experience of nay own. I only worked it once, but it could bave been worked so extensively that I could have' acquired both weight and wealth in the long run. I once made an arrangement with a restaurant-keener to dine with him every day for a week. The price of his dinner was 50 cents. But on account of my regular custom he was to give me the week's board for $2.75 and deduct 50 cents for every day I was absent." "I don't see how you could mate anything of that?" "Don't eh? You'd make a fine financier, wouldn't yoo," replied the tall man with scorn. "I did make money out of it though. Before I entered upon the arrangement I made the man sign a written agreement embodying the terms of our contract. I stayed away six days and at the end of the week I had a fine dinner, after which I walked up to the cashier to settle. 1 produced the agreement and figured out that I not only did not owe for the dinner, but the proprietor owed me 25 cents.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.

A Tery Eapid Increase Under Decreasing

Circumstances.

The assumed rapid decrease of the public debt

of the Uuited States, as shown in the statements

published, has seemed very marvelous to for

eigners. The experienoe of other nations with

their public debts leads them to doubt the state

ments of this country. Most of them have con

tinually-increasing instead of decreasing na

tional debts.

How, then, they ask, can. the United States

diminish its debt so rapidly?

The prosperity of the people, during all these years, has been unabated. In fact, the country

has never seen such an era of general prosperity.

The two conditions appear to be contradictory.

Are the statements true?

In one sense they are undoubtedly correct, but

the public debt has largely increased since the

war. It has accumulated to the great inventors

and discoverers, whose successful efforts bave eased the burdens of labor and made pleasant

tne pathways of toil.

A grateful public should a lways acknowledge its indebtedness to those who have promoted health and happiness. The proprietors of Warner's safe cure bave given to the public a specific

for all kidney disorders, and the innumerable train of frightful diseases that are caused by

them. The late public teacher. Dr. Dio Lewis, who seldom prescribed medicines of any sort,

gave this renowned specific bis warm commenda

tion, and said if he found himself suffering

from any kidney disorders be should use it. Kidney disorders are the cause of 93 per cent.,

say the proprietors of that remedy, of all dis

eases. If you keep the kidneys in health yon

have the greatest assurance of freedom from all

disease.

Before the discovery of this remedy bright's

disease was deemed incurable. Now the num

ber of victims of the dread kidney diseases, and all others caused by such diseases, who are by it snatched from death constantly increases, and

as the efficacy of the remedy becomes more wide

ly known, those who have reason to be devoutly

tnankful tbat this wonderful specme bas been

made known to the world, multiply with rapid

ly-increasing ratio.
