THE Weekly Press says that Los An
geles is subject to twice as many fogs
as is Santa Barbara. Disputes as to
the relative amount of fogs will help
neither town. AS to the truth of the
assertion, any one who ever lived in
Los Angeles knows tia hat; being further
rem the sea than Santa Basz-.Asa,-ffsags d, fsss
are of far less frequent occurrence. The
Press is splendid advocate Of the in
terests of Santa Barbara, but should
never bolster up the town at the ex-
pense of other interests closely allied
to its own, especially when its asser-
tions are without foundation. There
are items which might be quoted to
the disadvantage of Santa Barbara.
Chickering's will not increase the pOpu-
lation of either place. Santa Barbara
is q very lovely spot, so is Los An
geles. If neither is perfection, it is
because on earth perfection is not to be
found. The item below is quoted from
the Press, not in malice, but in self
defense. 1t appears in the same num-
ber that taxes Los Angeles with fog
propensities:
Only one little ribbon of blue sky
appeared to-day just over the tops of
the mountains. The eOverhanging fog,
however, took the form of low clouds.

Cold Flowing into the Country.

For some reason, not readily made
out, just as a financial crisis occurs
in the East, gold begins to come in.
Ever since Jay Cookies failure there
has been constant stream. The first
shipment notified was S5OO,OOO United
States Eagles drawn from the Bank OF
England with $1,000 in sovereigns.
This was followed by $3.50, 900 in few
days, and 81 ,25O,OOO left London Sat
terday. These sums make $3,OOO,OOO
reported, but other sums not reported
may increase the figure to $lO,OOO,OOO
before the market turns. On the 1st
proximo $25, 100000 is due for interests
on United States bonds. January lst,
$3O,O0O.OOO more is payable; also
$2O,OOO,O 900 principal of the 5 per cent.
debt falls due. All these sums make
$85,OOO;OOO gold to come on the mar
ket, besides what the Treasury may
sell. OF necessity, gold must come
down and greenbacks go up. The good
time is coming when We shall have
one currency as well as one country.

A Monarchy In France.

Mondays kilograms show that
the fears of the French Republicans,
expressed when Mcmahon was elected
President of the Republic, were too
well founded. They looked upon his
election as wedge to prepare the
opening for the introduction of monar-
chy; they thought President was
elected that King might succeed.
In accordance with their fears it is
now proposed to establish monarchy,
based on the old charter of 1914.
This means that an attempt will again
be made to degrade France by putting
an imbecile king-Bourbon or Orlean-
ist-upon its throne; it means that re-
publicanism may again prove failure
in France, and misgovernment may
again be the rule.
When the noble France of past his
tory fell, when she lay bleeding and
torn beneath the German rule, every
historic heart bled with her; when
she rose up still bleeding and put on the
garments of freedom and began to
heal her wounds, every heart rejoiced.
1t was then hoped that the troubles of
France were over; that she had en-
tered upon the safe and open sea of
liberty and free government. But it
seems not to be. More trouble rises
up in the distance before her. What
will be the result only prescient
mind can foretell. Let us hope for the
best.
In this emergency, grand old Thiers
is again seen hurrying back to be-
loved France to meet the storm. AL
though France forgot him, he can not
and will not forget her. When he shall
have passed away, when the historian
shall sift out the good in each mans >
life, and shall raise mental monu-
ment to his memory, that of this
grand, good, old man will be shining
and prominent among those of the
purest and best.

The Herald and the Oranges.

This morning the HERALD publish
es the list of all the Oranges establish
ed in this county. The great motto of
the Oranges is dnti-monop0ly. This is
also the watchwOrd of the HERALD.
There is no doubt that the Changers
will be hereafter more important ele-
ment in controlling politics than now
exists in America. Its members are
hard-working honest farmers, and
men all opposed to the duplicity that
now exists amongst Office-holders.
Their object is to purify the morals of
the political field. That is the HER
AIDS object too. This newspaper and
the Changers Societies are alike new
enterprises and they are both succeed
ing. Every honest agriculturist should
be Granger, and the progress of the
Society will be carefully watched and
noted in these columns.

The County Assessorshlp.

EDITOR HERALD: The Express Of
last evening slightly erred in its state
ment that Thomas H. Burdick has
"sued out writ against the County
Clerk" etc. Thos. H. Burdick claims
that he was elected over his competi-
tor, ID. Botiller, the present incum-
bent, by some 36O votes, as is shown
by the minutes of the Board of Super
visors, wherein they have declared and
recorded their official count of the votes
cast for that Office. Notice to that eff
feet was demanded, and Mr.. Burdick's
attorney received the certificate of the
County Clerk to the above effect, which
saves all necessity for the issuance Of
the writ or mandate, the certificate of
the Clerk being constructive notice of
the fact Of his election. . " n

Mr.. Piercy.

Samuel w. Piercy called at the HER
AID office yesterday. He contemplates
a weeks rest, and will exchange, for
that length of time. the severe studies
Of lengthy parts for good country
ramble and perfect relaxation. No
young actor has ever visited Los An
geles with such satisfactory results.
He is credit to the dramatic corps,
and sincere lover of his profession. A
highly educated graduate of an eastern
college, now practicing law in this
city, has promised the HERALD care
full criticism on Mr.. Piercy's Hamlet.
In days to come, when the top round
of the ladder has been reached, this
rising young actor will not forget that
in Los Angeles he has been recognized
as student Of the highest order, an
actor of remarkable power, and gen.
tlemen of rare amiability and courtesy

THIS AND THAT.

In Wisconsin the farmers have n nOm-
mated full State ticket.
A book from Anna Dickinson may
be expected late in the season.
The posthumOus biography of the
late Stuart Mill is to be published mex t
month.
The New York Conventions both
denounce back pay and yet Roscoe
C0nkling, a back pay grabber, is Chief
Justice. How long, Oh, how long.
Minnesota has more miles of railroad
than Massachusetts, the former having
1906, and the latter 1858. In 1868,
Massachusetts had 49,, and MinnesO-
ia only 81 miles.
A case is concluded i'm Indiana in u
manner to indicate that when rail-
road company sells ticket, it is with
the understanding that the passenger
will be furnished seat. A passenger
in Indiana lately refused to give the
conductor his ticket until he was sup
piled with seat. The train being
crowded, the conductor could not COM
ply with his request, and put the pas
senger off the car, tn rowing his bag
gage after him. The latter entered a
suit against the company, and was
awarded $1,000 damages by the jury
which tried the case.
The cholera has broken out with
more than usual severity in Europe.
1t has made fearful ravages in Hun
gary and Pennsylvania. In Vienna a
thousand deaths have occurred. In
Germany it has been widespread, APP
pearing at Magdeburg, Munich, Ko-
nigsberg, Stettin, and many other
towns. From Germany it has passed
over to Havre, in France. The dis
ease has also appeared in Rome, where,
up to last reports, there had been "A
cases. 1t is not probable that it will
reach California, as the season is too
far advanced.
BY the death Of Sir Edwin Landseer,
England loses an artist who has for
nearly half a century held the fore
most rank among British painters.
Born in 1902, he begun, like Lawrence,
to caricature the people about him. In
1916 he became student Of the Royal
Academy, and by the time he had ar
rived at rs years Of age, was famous
even in circle that boasted of Wilkie,
Lawrence, Collins, Herring, and the
elder Linnell. His genius was shown
not only in his wonderful dog pictures,
which have, perhaps, never been
equalled but in the instance of Baker,
of New York, whose oil painting, kit
kat size, of "old dog Jack" seen any
day at the Placard Exchange, but in
his treatment of the human figure.
Who, for instance, that has ever seen
his "Titania," "Flood in the High
lands" or "Wellington Riding Over
the Field of Waterloo" can fail to see
his mastery of the many types of hu-
manity represented in those three pic
lures alone? His 81 eatest national tri-
umph was achieved in the modelling of
the four gigantic lions that guard the
Nelson monument, whose massive fig
ures, terrible in their grim repOse, sug-
gest ideas of power that recall the
memories of the winged monsters of
Nimrod.

OF course San Diego imports more
goods proportionally than Los Angeles.
1t raises nothing which it consumes,
and it must needs do this. The HER
AID only quoted the tonnage to show
the relative size of the two towns, and
is very glad to see the World so frank
in its acknowledgment. This item is
cheerfully bantering but not "set
down in malace" The Southern Paci-
fic towns have too great interests in
common to be able too snap at each
other over load of wheat or lady's
bandbox on steamer. If San Diego
and Santa Barbara continue to say
unpleasant things about this city, the
HERALD will quote their respective
doings under the head of clos Angeles
and Suburbs"

Political Degeneration.

1t seems almost impossible to issue
a single number of an Independent
paper without some plea for right,
some cry against wrong. 1t is the one
theme that is never old, and which
bears constant repetition. Corruption
exist in so many forms that it is hard
to tell where to assail it. 1t penetrates
even the meetings of civic dignita-
ries, is rampant in the merchants office
and the pulpit, until no profession or
class is free from its incubation. The
great cry that goes up from the hearts
of the people to-day is reform. The
one longing of thousands of American
citizens is for political and social
purity. If corruption and lawlessness
stopped in the ring of politics, ii
would matter less; but it invades
homes, ruins families and saps the
very roots of even ordinary morality.
For one divorce case that was heard
Of a dozen years ago there are le-
gions now; where one defaulter dis
graced his name formerly there are
hundreds to day. 1t is bold asser-
tion but true one, that it is almost
impossible to read the full measure OF
Eastern news two days in succession
without coming across record OF
some official dishonesty.
What, then, is the source of the in
crease of divorces, suicides, defalca.
tions, bribery and general social pollu-
tion? Undoubtedly political degener-
alton. From the fountain head il
flows through a million sources. Gov
ernors and policemen, Judges and Jail
guards, from the highest to the lowest,
there is 700 frequently but one under
standing, one community of feeling
Newspapers unblushingly receive
bribes. Railroad companies do not
hesitate to pay hard coin for collateral
putting. Companies of all sorts subsi-
dize every individual or corporation
that can do them good. 1t is "YOr
help me and I'll help YOU" and so the
dirty channel gets muddier and filthier
as it flows, until the country that /,
traverses becomes one vast cesspoOl.

The San Francisco NeWs Letter of the
4th instant is, as usual, full of fun,
blrsphemy and news. In one page it
quates beautiful translation Of "Veni
Sancte Spiritus," and in another it is
grossly offensive to any man who be-
lieves in the existence of Supreme
Being. While the general perusal of
one part of the newspaper convinces
any one that from the first page to the
last it is full of solid thought and keen
wit, it is impossible to,avoid OCCASION
ally stumbling on something that is as
needlessly blasphemous as it is bad
and shocking.

Vote for Two Justices.

Judge Crockett was elected in Octo-
Der, 1869, and neither himself, nor any
of his friends then claimed that his
term of Office was for ten years. The
law under which he was elected was
the Act of April, 1861, Section of
which is as follows, providing for the
election of Justice to fill vacancy:
''The Justice thus elected shall hold
his office for the balance of the uneX-
pired term of his predecessor" See
HittelPs Digest, paragraph 1925.
Was Judge Crockett elected to fill
vacancy. Ofthis there can be no doubt.
Judge .. l.. Shafter elected in 1868,
drew the long term for ten years
which, of course, would expire in 1873;
but he resigned in 1860, having four
years of his term left. TO this vacancy
Judge Crockett was appointed by Gov
ernOr Haight. and, subsequently, ut
the election in October, 1869, he was
elected. The regular Democratic ticket
upon which he ran was printed rs fol-
lows:
For Justices of Supreme Court
For full term,
WILLIAM n. WALLACE.
For vacancy OccaSiOned by the resgnatIo ION of
Justice Shafter,
j. B. CROCKETT.
Now, if he was elected to fill the
vacancy Occasioned by the resigna-
ton of Justice Shafter," 1t is clear that
his term lasts no longer than Skaters $
would, had he remained on the bench.

~ A statement of the assets and
liabilities of the firm If Jay Cooke & Co.
Of Philadelphia. New York and WASH
ineton and has been prepared by them
to be submitted to the creditors. The
following is the summary: Liabilities,

banks, insurance and other stocks,
bonds and real estate, s.. .S67 ,640;. loan
to Northern Pacific Railroad, 50. $50, COO

exclusive of $1,701, ,140 loans Of the firm
which are secured by good collateral.
The excess of the collaterals upon these
loans has been estimated and included
the assets. The firm expects to soon
submit proposition for settlement with
its creditors, which it believes will be
acceptable to the latter, although it will,
of course, require time in the conver-
sion of its assets. The handsome show
ing made leaves no doubt of its ability
to pay every dollar of its Indebtedness
with interest and still have surplus OF
several million dollars. @

NEW YORK, Oct 9.---Some banks have
virtually resumed the payment Of green
backs. Mr.. Camp, manager of the
Clearing House, says that since the is
sue of loan certificates, there has not
been SO many greenbacks as were seen
yesterday when clearances were made.
The Wall street President when spoken
to on the subject, said he thoaght green
backs had become sufficiently plenty to
allow resumption. In case however,
the pressure became too great the banks
would no doubt fall back ON the plan
followed during the past two weeks as a
measure of safety. There seems to be
no reason, he said, why the payment of
Legal Tenders should not 60 on. Trade
was prosperous; produce men were pay
ing for and receiving larger quantities
of grain than had been received in any
time before; shipments of grain from
tie West, had been greater during the
past week than during any week in the
history of the country, and all this had
been paid for in greenbacks. r4
