A Good Rule.
Phoenix, A. 'T., has an ordinance requiring all teachers in public schools
to be examined to ascertain if they are
afflicted with tuberculosis. On the
12th inst. enforcement of the rule resulted in the retirement of two teachers. They were greatly surprised to
learn that the seeds of the deadly disease in their system# were about to develop into consumption. The Arizona
rule is a copy of that now enforced in
Chicago. It isa rule that should be
every where applied. If the presence of
a comsumptive in places. of assembly
of the people is dangerous to them, how
much more so is the presence of a
teacher afflicted with tuberculosis inimical to the lives of the children with
whom they are confined day by day in
schoolrooms?

A Broken Buggy.
This morning as Dr. Tickell was in
Kinkead’s furniture store ordering a
special bed prepared for Mrs. H. W.
Valentine who had her hip broken yesterday, a spring mattress standing on
its edge on the sidewalk toppled toward the Doctor’s horse which was tied
in front of the store. The startled}
animal broke from its fastenings,
plunged into a pile of packing boxes,
next collided with Grissel Brothers’
delivery wagon, then ran to Lane’s
atable and entered it. The buggy was
badly broken.

oR cae mee Los Anczes, Cul./ Sept. 16, 1898.
J. 'W. Morris, Esq., box 177, Los Angeles City: On Tuesday, November
7, 1876, I first commenced to speak my sentiments about the Southerh Pucific
Company, contending that it had no right to go outside its legitimate sphere
and embark upon political enterprises. If you will run back, you will see
that is over one-fifth of a century ago. The
is to be found im the Los Angeles Daily Star/of that date, and I have been
consistent in my’sentiments in that behalf ever since that time.
In the case pending before the Supreme Court of the United States in the
October term, 1892, casos Nos. 921-22 and 862-63, entitled ‘‘The United States
vs. Southern Pacific Railroad et al.,” in common with my friend Joseph Call,
I filed a brief in opposition to the petition for rehearing against that company
and in behalf of the settlers of the State of California, contesting the right of
the Southern Pacific Company te hold their land grant; and upon the points
there referred to and advocated, several million of acres were turned over to
the public domain. =r ve

If any of the complaining friends have any doubts in reference to my attitude toward the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, I would most respectfully refer them to that man who has been the corporation’s most distin* guished oppgnent that ever existed, viz,, Mr. Joseph Call, whose office is in
the Bradbury block in Los Angeles City.
Mr. Joseph Call is the ablest champion the people ever had as azainst the
encroachments of the railroads upon the public domain. ?
Before I ever announced: my candidacy the Democratic and Republican
papers of this State (notably among which were the Hera.d of Los Angeles,
and the Examiner of San Francisco) asserted that I was not the preference of
the Southern Pacific Company: : ;
Again, within-the last three years I have brought suits against those corporations, laying damages in the aggregate of upward of $10,000, and I have

. Lhese expre-sions, as you will observe, are all consistent. ‘ I meant them
