The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Memry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, Editors and Producers. THURSDAY... NOVEMBER 6, 1800. With this issue The Gazette completes the twentieth year of its publication. With a single exception it is the oldest newspaper in Southern California. No paper in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Diego, Orange or the other southern counties of the State lives to-day, with the single exception noted, that was published when the first issue of this journal was spread before the people of Anaheim. A train of recollections come trooping up as we pass another mile-stone on the journey through life. While we pause for an instant to moralize, we might be permitted to say that we do not feel much older than we did a year ago, and yet it is true that a twelve-month has run its course, and left us plodding still. The Gazette today, as in the years that have passed, bidsoms and bears good fruit and waxes like a green bay tree in the summer sunshine. It lives on, and turns to look into the mystic realms of the ever uncertain future with hope and courage and confidence, as it recognizes the past with no little pride and satisfaction. We have striven hard to please our readers in the past, and shall in future strive on in that same purpose. Recognizing the fact that the future possesses rewards for honest labor well performed, we enter the twenty-first year of this newspaper's existence with pleasurable confidence. To this end it shall always be our aim to make of this a first-class family newspaper, to merit the appreciation and good-will of our readers, to denounce wrong-doing and dishonesty wherever found and to publish a weekly response of news that will be read and relished by the entire population of this valley. The publication of the names of the voters in this Supervisor district in our issue of last week was very highly commended by our readers and the public generally. The host in which it was necessary to get the names from the Register in time for publication, however, rendered the omission of a name here and there a matter of almost absolute certain- "Warmly Commended." Santa Ana Free Press. The Democrat [of Santa Ana] having charged that the Great Register had been loaded with a lot of spurious names in the Anaheim district, THE GAZETTE of that city very properly publishes the entire list from that section, showing conclusively that not one name has been fraudulently entered. The showing is a good one for our Anaheim friends, who inhabit as rich a section of country as can be found in this semi-tropical land of fruits and flowers. The action of THE GAZETTE is to be warmly commended. A Lift for Southern California. Under the suggestive title of "Our Italy" Charles Dudley Warner has paid a well-deserved tribute to the southern portion of our state in the current number of Harper's Magazine. Mr. Warner evidently writes from the standpoint of a man who has lived The publication of the names of the voters in this Supervisor district in our issue of last week was very highly commended by our readers and the public generally. The haste in which it was necessary to get the names from the Register in time for publication, however, rendered the omission of a name here and there a matter of almost absolute certainty. As might have been expected, therefore, one or two names were omitted from the list, unintentionally. The publication of the list of names, however, demonstrated the fact beyond the peradventure of a doubt that there was no "stuffing" of the Register in this district. The increased number of voters in this neighborhood means nothing more nor less than an increased population. We are the only section in this or in Los Angeles county which shows such substantial gain. We poll nearly 600 votes in this Supervisor district. Two years hence our voting population will press a thousand. Now that the election is over, the candidate sings low in the land—sings very low indeed. The successful ones are out of voice and too big to talk to common people, while the defeated candidate—unhappy man with bowed head and hands clasped behind him, walks in quiet meditation, communing with the political corps that strew the banks of the Rio Sal. Disturb him not, gentle reader. The birds of carrion, scattering the slaughter from afar, flap their black wings about him, and will take care of him. Poor man! Poor man! It might have been! It might have been! It is announced that Cook & Langley's profits have been over $180,000 for the past season. Under the Nationalistic argument the farmer, or fruit grower, should have "all his product." It is not too much, indeed, to say that our fruit growers should have had a large part of this enormous profit. The country newspaper is the most useful and least compensated of all the agencies which stamp the impress of progress upon villages and inland cities. Without the aid of local newspapers towns are as a rule thriftless and dead. It is common for small great men to speak with contempt of the local newspapers, but the village newspaper makes more great men out of less material, more bricks without straw, than any other factor in politics; and it is the one ladder on which men climb to local distinction as the beginning of wider fame. The advent of the local newspaper has always dated the increased thrift of the community. The local newspaper is the life of the locale, and the measure of its support measures the advancement of the people. A Lift for Southern California. Under the suggestive title of "Our Italy" Charles Dudley Warner has paid a well-deserved tribute to the southern portion of our State in the current number of Harper's Magazine. Mr. Warner evidently writes from the standpoint of a man who has lived the life of the people, enjoyed the climate and become thoroughly imbued with the characteristics of the country he so charmingly describes; but what lands its greatest value to the description is the fact that the author is essentially a cosmopolitan, a man who has visited many countries and lived in many climes and whose opinion is accepted as authority. Referring to that portion of the coast extending from Point Conception on the north southward to the Mexican line, he says: The United States has here, then, a unique corner of the earth, without its like in its own vast territory and unparalleled, so far as I know, in the world. We boast about many things in the United States, about our blizzards and our cyclones, our innundations and our areas of low pressure, our hottest and our coldest places in the world, but what can we say for this little corner which is practically frostless, and yet never has a sunstrake, knows nothing of thunder-storms and lightning, never experienced a cyclone, which is so warm that the year round one is tempted to live out of doors and so cool that woolen garments are never uncomfortable? Nature here, in this protected and paved area, has the knack of being genial without being observating, of being stimulating without bracing a person into the tomb. I think it conducive to equanimity of spirit and to longevity to sit in an orange grove and eat the fruit and inhale the fragrance of it while taxing upon a snow mountain. Mr. Warner attributes the dryness of the air along the sea coast to the constant auction caused by the rising of heated air from the great desert stretches of the interior, which he asserts will fortunately remain deserts forever; as only a comparatively small area of the great wastes can ever be reclaimed. He calls particular attention to the exemption enjoyed by the whole region from epidemics and endemic diseases, and he thus sums up his conclusion: Here is our Mediterranean. Here is our Italy. It is a Mediterranean without marbles and without malaria, and does not at all resemble the Mexican gulf, which we have sometimes tried to fancy was like the clamina that laves Africa and Europe. It is a Mediterranean with a more equable climate, warmer winters and cooler summers, than the North Mediterranean can afford; it is an Italy whose mountains and valles give almost every variety of elevation and temperature. But it is our commercial Mediterranean. The time is not distant when this corner of the United States will produce in abundance, and year after year without failure, all the fruits and nuts which for a thousand years—the civilized world of Europe has looked to the Mediterranean to supply. One need not be an invalid to come here and appreciate the grandeurness of the air; the color of the landscape, which is wanting in our Northern clime; the constant procession of dwarfs—the year through; the purple hills... It is common for small great men to speak with contempt of the local newspapers, but the village newspaper makes more great man out of less material, more bricks without straw, than any other factor in politics, and it is the one ladder on which men climb to local distinction as the beginning of wider fame. The advent of the local newspaper has always dated the increased thrift of the community. The local newspaper is the life of the locality, and the measure of its support measures the advancement of the people. BULLETINS issued on the population of the United States say the population of the United States in June, 1890, as shown by the first count, exclusive of the whites in Indian Territory, the Indians on reservations and in Alaska, is 62,480,540. These figures may be slightly changed by later computation. In 1880 the population was 50,165,783; an absolute increase in ten years of 12,324,757. The percentage of increase is 24.57. In 1870 the population was stated at 38,558,571. According to the figures the absolute increase between 1870 and 1880 was 11,597,412. Percentage of increase 30.08. Upon their face these figures show that the population increased between 1880 and 1890 only 727,345 more than between the years 1870 and 1880, while the rate of increase apparently diminished from 30.08 to 24.57 percent. If these figures are derived from correct data they would be indeed disappointing. Such reduction, in the face of the enormous immigration during the past ten years, would argue a great diminution in the severity of the population or corresponding increase in the death rate. The figures, however, are easily explained when the character of the data is understood. It is a well-known fact having been demonstrated by extensive and thorough investigation, that the census of 1870 was greatly deficient in the Southern States, so much as not only to give an exaggerated rate of increase of population between 1870 and 1890 in those States, but to affect very materially the rate of increase in the country at large. There are 543,662 orange and lime trees in the Riverside area, occupying 5,745 acres. The larger portion of these are partner winters and cooler summers, than the North Mediterranean can afford; it is an Italy whose mountains and valleys give almost every variety of elevation and temperature. But it is our commercial Mediterranean. The time is not distant when this corner of the United States will produce in abundance, and year after year without failure, all the fruits and nuts which for a thousand years the civilized world of Europe has looked to the Mediterranean to supply. One need not be an invalid to come here and appreciate the graciousness of the air; the color of the landscape, which is wanting in our Northern clime; the constant procession of dwarfs the year through; the purple hills stretching into the sea; the hundreds of hamlets, with picturesque homes overgrown with roses and geraniums and heliotropes, in the midst of orange crushards and of palms and of magnolias, in sight of the snow peaks of the giant mountain range which shut in this land of marvelous beauty. Our southern counties says "San Francisco Examiner," are fortunate in having found so able and eloquent a friend as Mr. Warlin. What he now may have all the more form because there was a time only a few years ago, when he poked a good deal of fun at them, while admitting a portion of their attractions, in a paper on "The New Hempstead," published in the Atlantic. This former paper was the product of observations made during a busy trip through the country and some there were who felt a little more over a few of its misconstructions. This late sketch is a magnificent act of alumniment for the jostling statements of the farmer, and it is only to be regretted that Northern California, with her varied climate and splendid resources, could not have come in for her share of his praises.
