Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hairs glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR Dressing ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, Md,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

IT MEANS BUSINESS.

The organization of the Los Angel
es and independence Railroad Com
pany, and the alacrity with which our
leading citizens are taking stock in
the enterprise, evinces an earnestness
and determination which almost en-
sures the speedy construction of the
road. 1t is one of the very best
schemes for the prosperity of Los An
geles and the development of the
mineral wealth of Inyo county that
could be undertaken, and ii is source
of qualification to know that the en-
tire press of this county and the COM
munity to a man, are working in uni
son for its advancement. The build
ing of the road will open up large
section of country and secure its trade
for this city. 1t will furnish trans
portation and render valuable, mill
lions upon millions of tons of ore that
is now considered almost valueless.

portation to an immense freighting
business. 1t will run through the
center of an almost exhaustless sup
ply of oak timber, and give us an
abundance of cheap fuel. 1t will
secure to this city the trade of all the
upper portion of the San joaquin
Valley, and it will, by connecting with
the railroad soon to be completed to
Sumner, near Bakersfield, give Los
Angeles and her valley, railroad COM
munication with San Francisco. 1t is
probable that Stanford & Co. will COM
plete the Southern Pacific on to this
city very soon, but in case they should
not, the road to be built by orr citizens
will secure the trade and open an out
let by rail-a contamination devoutly
to be wished.

LOS ANGELES TO HAVE TWO PORTS OF
ENTRY

With two ports of entry, Winning
ton and TruXton, Los Angeles will
possess commercial advantages of ex-
traordinary character. Wilmington
harbor is receiving improvements
which will render it safe and cOnye-
nient for vessels of every character. 1t
is an important point on the Pacific
coast, and the Government will not
cease its attentions to it until the
greatly exaggerated stories about its
want of safety and difficulties of land
ing will be heard no more. The
Truxton landing will, with the pro-
posed improvement, be alike safe and
convenient. These ports will debark
and embark the vast commercial trade
of this city with the interior. Both
railroads will do large carrying bus
mess, and in the two harbors will be
seen vessels from all parts of the world.
Carpers and croakers will pish at these
predictions, but if they do not in a
very short time die the death of false
prophets, they will see realization
of all here predicted. The rich soil of
this valley and the wealth of "our
back country" demand it; and will
not be denied.

THERE are two weekly papers pub
lished in Visalia. Both are excellent
local chroniclers, but they have fallen
into the habit of devoting considera-
bic editorial space to personalities con-
corning each other. Gentlemen, these
chickering's do not interest your read
ers and they add nothing to the good
name of your town and county abroad.
You could settle your trifling differ
ences in the back yard of either Office
in one-half the time devoted to writing
a personal paragraph, and the process
would be so much more satisfactory to
the patrons of both papers.

A SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE.

The oil wells of the Los Angeles Pc
troleum Refining Company, located in
the San Fernando mountains, thirty
two miles northwest of this city, are
now yielding from ten to fifteen bar
rels of crude petroleum per day, and
the question of increasing the daily
flow to any given number of gallons is
only one of increasing the number of
wells. The company have decided to
add to the wells already bored suffi-
Gent number to make the daily flow
about fifty barrels. They have erected
a refinery at San Fernando, which will
be in operation by the close of this
week. They have also entered into a
contract with Mr.. Carreras of this
city, who is practical refiner of oils,
by which Mr.. Carreras binds himself
to Immediately erect refinery here,
at which he will refine the oil by
chemical process that secures an illu-
minating fluid standing amuch higher
test than the best extra brands of Kerr
osene now brought from the East.
Mr.. Carreras has selected the site OF
his refinery, and will commence oper-
ations at once. BY his process less
than fifteen per cent of the crude Pc
troleum is lost, and even that is not
lost, as the greater part of it is
worked up into superior lubricating
oil, for which there is great demand
on the railroads, at price equal TO
that of the illuminating fluid. The
loss in refining the petroleum at the
Eastern refineries, ranges from forty
to sixty per cent, though a portion OF
this is recovered in the benzine and
naptha saved. BY Mr.. Carreras' pro-
cess, the explosive gases are neutral
lied and fluid produced which will
not explode under u test of ITO. The
company will soon have a supply of
fifty barrels of crude petroleum per
day, which will refine at least thirty
five barrels, thus enabling the COM
pany to place on the market LOO gal
Ions per day of superior illuminating
fluid. The fluid is worth forty cents
per gallon, to say nothing of the large
return from lubricating oil manufac-
tured from the residuum.

MANY farmers of this county are, we
understand, preparing to ship the sur
plus products of their farms direct to
the San Francisco market. In order
to pursue this plan successfully, it is
important that they have an agency at
the Bay city, to which all their pro-
duce is consigned. This agency should
be in the hands of a firm one of whose
members, at least, possesses a general
knowledge of the valley, its products
and wants, who will understand the
quality and value of the articles con-
signed to his house, as well as a full
realization of the Importance of
prompt sale and equally prompt return
of the proceeds. The majority of the
commission houses of San Francisco
are lax in both these essential particu-
lars. Action upon the suggestion here
made will result beneficially to those
of our farmers and fruit growers pro-
posing to ship direct to the city.

THE radically unreasonable faction
Of the Administration party have re-
ceived severe rebuke in Massachu-
sets. The election of Washburn to
the seat in the United States Senate,
lately occupied by Chas. Sumner, was
a decided defeat of Ben. Butler and
his initiation party. Washburn is a
moderately able man of undoubted
integrity, and his victory over Dawes
is due solely to the latter's fealty to
Butler. If, as is anticipated, the Presi-
dent signs the initiation bill, he at once
announces himself the ally and con-
federate, we might say the chief, of
the worst, most extravagant, small,
extremist faction of the party that
elected him, and the people will repu-
diate him and condemn the act as en-
phatically as they have the policy of
B. +. Butler.

A DANGEROUS AND GROWING TENDENCY.

Time was when the candidates re-
ceiving the largest number of votes
were considered elected and their de-
feated opponents gracefully yielded to
the will of the majority, congratulate
ing the winner and hoping for better
luck next time. That time is past.
Now, in many instances, it is nothing
remarkable to see each of the oppos-
ing candidates claiming the office,
each attempting to justify his act with
trumped up and entirely groundless
charges that the other resorted to
fraud and corrupting influences. Much
acrimonious and expensive litigation
follows. Only little while ago one
of these struggles led to bloodshed in
Louisiana and now we are likely to
have these sanguinary scenes re-en-
acted in Arkansas. 1t is time the
people expressed their disapprobation
of these uncalled for contests in a
manner so emphatic and unmistaka-
BILE that defeated candidates will learn
that to indulge in them will be to
render themselves SO unpopular that
in future they will not receive sufli-
cient number of votes to sustain even
shadow of preteXt for wrangling.
Elections may be and doubtless are
conducted as fairly and honestly now
as they. ever were. Some one always,
or almost always, receives majority
OF the votes cast, and that majority is,
or should be, undoubted proof that the
person receiving it is the choice of
more than one-half of the voters for
the position named. Contested cleo
tons are becoming of entirely too fire.
quent occurrence. They indicate n
growing disposition not to submit to
the will of the majority. Men enter
tanning such sentiments are unfit to
become the public servants of Re-
publican party and no one of them
should ever be given second oppor-
tunity to manifest his dangerous
trouble-creating disposition. There
are occasional cases where q contest is
warranted by the facts, but in no in
stance should it lead to mob violence.

THE impression was derived from
Rosecrans' official reports. and has pre-
vailed in the North ever since, that In
the battle of Chickamauga, the Confed-
crates outnumbered the Federals two
to one, and as Rosecrans had about
sixty thousand men, Bragg was sup
posed to have had one hundred and
twenty thousand. A few days since
Gen. Bragg was in st. Louis and re-
porter for the ST. Louis Globe inter
viewed him in regard to that famous
battle, which is held to be one of the
hottest contests of the war Bragg
states that he had about thirty-nine
thousand men in that engagement,
twenty-one thousand less than Rose
Grams. The Globe says Gen. Bragg's
statement ought to be reliable" and
adds:
IF Bragg had only thirty-nine thou
sand men in the fight, it is in order for
fIOSeCr2uS 10 take INC sIdHu anu tel
why he allowed himself to be driven
from his position. He was not only
driven from his position, but he was
only saved from humiliation by the
pluck of Phil. Sheridan and the obsti-
macy of Old Pap Thomas ,"
When a correct and impartial his
tory of the war is written, it will pre-
sent some as startling contradictions as
this of the usually accepted Federal YER
sion of the forces engaged in many a
battle.

ACCORDING to the constitution of Ar
kansas the returns Of every election for
Governor are to be opened and read by
the presiding officer of the Senate be-
fore that body; and the person having
the highest number of votes must be
declared elected. The constitution
thus provides for the settlement of con-
tested elections: Contested elections
shall be determined by both Houses Of
the General Assembly" The jurisdic-
ton of such a case as that of Brooks
and Baxter belongs, therefore, to the
General Assembly. No court can have
concurrent jurisdiction on the subject.
Hence Brooks recent action was pure
ly revolutionary. Revolution is some
times iustifable; according to the De-
claration of Independence the right of
revolution is inaienable. But Brooks
had two constitutional remedies. When
that of his own State failed, he could
have resorted to the perfect remedy
provided by the guarantee clause of
the Federal Constitution. He prefer
red a row, however, and the country is
watching the developments with a
good deal more interest than if he had
stuck TO the constitution.
