THE CAUSE OF THE CALAMITY.

In order to form idea Of tina Of the mum
dalton it is only necessary to glance at the physical
geography of the departments in which it has occurred
they lie on the northern slopes Of the Pyreneo, and
ntersected by and rapid rivers of which
at least four unite to form the Garonne before it
reaches Toulouse. There has been heavy and con.
tinuous rain the whole Of the mountain range,
and fall Of snow at Luz. where it would directly
swell the head waters of the Garonne tits said that
at least contrbutoy is furnished by the great
destruction of timber in the district during the last
century. Trees not only absorb water largely from
the SOIL but they also prevent the surface from being
baked and hardened by the sun, and they check the
rapidity and abruptness with which rain would other
wise reach the ground. When it falls unimpeded
upon dry and barren hisides, it will from them
almost freely from the shopping roofs of houses,
and few hours will carry the water Of the mountain
storm to swell the volume of the nearest river. 1t
easy to be wise after the event but in district
situated there is great for of proven
ton and the riparian authorities, whoever they may
be, should be intrusted with powers to
the magnitude of the recurring evils which, by wise
precautions, they might do much to mitigate avert.
Even the tiny floods which sometimes occur in this
country often greatly aggravated by local neglect
by some sitting up Of the channel Of stream, by
ill-placed bridge which forms obstacle to the
passage of unusual body of water In rivers which
are liable to be swollen by mountain torrents the
channels should be made the objects Of unceasing
socitude and the span and construction of bridges
should be determined by other than purely local con-
siderations.

A Splendid Oil Painting.

Tojetti has on his easel a painting
which, when exhibited, is destined to
excite the admiration of art lovers and
attract more attention than any other
painting ever exhibited in San Fran
cisco. The subject of the picture is
the hopeless love and tragic death of
Paul de Remini, which Dante has
powerfully described and Dore graph
ically depicted. There are three fig
ures in the mposition-Paul de Re-
mini, Francesca, beautiful and pure as
the sunbeams that play through the
old castle window where the lovers sit,
and the jealous Duke, scowlng from
his concealment at the unsuspecting
objects of his hate. A more pathetic
and beautiful story the artist could
not have chosen, and the treatment
is as worthy to the poet as it is
creditable to the artist. The
figures are life-size and painted from
models-not ideal or dramatically i'm
posing, but realistic, unobtrusiye, and
academically correct in coloring and
drawing. The painting is an ambi-
tious one and more than sustains the
well-deserved reputation which the
artist long since acquired. 1t is a
commission executed for Mr.. Parrot,
and is valued by connoisseurs at $4,000.
The figure which the fortunate posses
sor has paid, however, is secret.
When finished, the picture will be ex-
hibited at Morris & Schwab's Gallery,
on Post eet.-Altd.

THE Santa Monica excitement has
its benefits as well as its disagreeable
features. Papers all over the State, in
attempting to eliminate Los Angeles
from the list of promising cities, give
us so much gratuitous advertising that
we will occupy very prominent posi-
tion with all immigrants. Uncon-
sciously they are dsing Los Angeles a
benefit, for all we desire is an oppor-
tunity to compare the real worth of
Los Angeles with that of the future
city by the sea. No greater farce can
be imagined than the pilgrim to Santa
Monica, standing in its beautiful sands
and reciting the florid description of
the town, from the recent advertise
ments. Santa Monica lots will sell at
San Francisco better than on the pro-
posed site Of the great city.

WE learn from San Francisco re-
ports that the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company Of this State has re-
Gently contracted with the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Company and the Bethle-
hem Iron Company for 10000 tons of
steel rails-5, 900 from each company
to be used in continuing the line of the
road South of Los Angeles in the di-
rection of Fort Yuma, the Southern
terminus of the road, at the junction
of the Colorado and Gila rivers. The
distance by rail from San Francisco to
Fort Yuma is 722 miles. At Fort
Yuma the Southern Pacific will prob
ably connect with the Texas Pacific
(Col. Scott's road), and farther North,
at Fort Mojave, on the Colorado river,
another Eastern connection is expect
ed to be made in time. The steel rails
ordered are to weigh fifty pounds to
the yard, and the quantity ordered
will lay one hundred miles of single
track, including sidings. The rails
will be shipped by sailing vessels
around Cape Horn,

THE proper relation of capital to la
Dor is the veXing question of the day.
The Pennsylvania coal riots are the
most disastrous disagreements at pres
ent, and, fomented as they are by the
Communists all over the world, may
produce fearful consequences. Like
all strikes, the first serious loss has
fallen on the strikers and their fami-
lies. The poor of the world pay more
for fuel, the miners families are
starving, and the mine owners realize
as much, owing to the enhanced price,
as if there were no strike. Next to
this the Railroad question is most i'm
portant. Without railroads this coun-
try would have been a bowling will
derness, trackless waste. Railroads
are great civilizels, and in legislation
on this subject, as well as on all other
questions affecting capital, while the
rights of the people must be protected,
We should not forget the vast benefits
conferred by the railroads.

TT is the duty of all rejecting citl-
zens of Los Angeles county to make
an effort to elect the best men to
county offices this Fall. The county
has been very prosperous and we have
been on the flood tide of success. In
time of prosperity we should take
every precaution to avoid adversity,
and the surest way to retain our posi-
tion in the race is to elect competent
and honest men to office. Low taxes
and an economical administration of
county affairs will do more to retain
the prestige of Los Angeles
county than tons of advertising
sheets. The newcomer looks first at
the tax; if that is low he will settle.
but, after locating, he begins to in
quire the character of the public offi-
GERS, and il that is satisfactory he is
we'll satisfied. We cannot have pros
perity in city or county affairs with
out intelligent citizens, honest officers
and economical government.

A Monster Shark.

The London Daily Nea0s says: 1t
will be recollected that, in late issue,
we announced the stranding of an i'm
mense shark at Shanklin, in the Isle
of Wight. The skin of this huge fish
has now arrived in London, having
been purchased for the British Muse
um. The difficult operation of taking
the skin off so gigantic creature has
been admirably carried out by Mr..
Gerard, Jr., whose ability for prepar-
ing skeletons for the British Museum
is well known. Its total length is 20
feet, Its circumference fifteen feet in
the largest part. It's teeth are exceed
ingly small, and not the least like the
large, white ivory teeth seen in sharks
of museums; they are, OH the contrary,
very small, and set with interspaces
one from the other, and about the size
of cats tooth. This is basking
shark-Squalus maximus, Cetorinus
maximus, Squalus elephas, sail-tish,
hoe morher, or homer of Orkney, sun
fish, west coast of Ireland, 1t is not,
however, to be confounded with the
Observation-Disclosures mola--that is,
the shape of the sun.

The Democratic State Convention.

The preliminary proceedings of the
Democratic State Convention will be
found in another column. The inf1u-
ence of Los Angeles has been recog-
nized by the Convention electing
Coy. DowNEY its temporary Chair
man on close vote, which is supposed
to be favorable to FINDLEY. The
chances of WILSON and EsTUDILLo
are regarded by our telegraphic CORES
pondent as very favorable. The Con-
vention seems to take a calm view of
the situation, and is determined to
make ticket that will receive the en-
dorsement of the non-partisan citizens
of the State. Wise, statesmanlike ac-
tion now, will do much to redeem the
Democratic party, and in case of sue
cess may do much to return the State
government to an honest and econom-
ical administration. The people of the
State demand both good men and good
principles.

Fatalities.

GRASS VALLEY, June ga miner
named Elijah Phillips, who was work.
ing in the Idaho mine, was caved on
about 4 o'clock this morning and
killed. He was working in the slopes
picking up quartz, when a cave came
upon him from the hanging wall,
mashing and bruising his body badly.
Deceased leaves wife and four chill
dren He was member of the
Miners Union and Red Men of this
place.
A young man named Frank Lougee,
lately out of the State Prison, was fa-
tally stabbed by w. Stewart, at Ophir
Hill, one mile East of this place, at
noon to-day. An election for School
Trustees was being held and dispute
arose between the two men, where
upon Lougee drew pistol and fired
twice at Stewart, who then drew q
knife and closed with him and stabbed
him once in the back and twice in the
breast. Lougee fingered until this
evening. Public sympathy is strongly
in favor of Stewart, who Immediately
came to town and gave himself up.
The stabbing is said to have been done
in self-defence.
Weather is very warm-92 in the

Political Spe cuIatiOn.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-The DEM
ocratic delegates to the Convention
crowded the Cosmopolitan Hotel last
event ng. The candidates and their
friends are very active and each one
is confident of success in obtaining the
nomination. The delegates generally
express themselves firm in the belief
that Democracy have the game in
their own hands. Some go so far as
to claim they can't go wrong but are
bound to elect any one they choose to
put up. The general impression
seems to be that Irwin stands the best
chance for Governor, and that Findley
will be out of the field after the first
ballot, leaving Johnston his only
competitor. Everything is thought to
hinge ON the Gubernatorial nomina-
ton and speculations as to the other
Offices are necessarily very indefinite.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.
n Full Attendance of

Gov. Downey Temporary Chairman.
FINDLEY's CHANCE FOR GOVERNOR
PROSPECT OF WILSON
AND ESTUDILLO.
ESPECIAL TO THE HERALD. |

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-rhe DEM
ocratic State Conv vention met to-day
at o'clock. The attendance is very
large and great enthusiasm is man
ifested. The delegates are in personal
attendance, only fifteen proxies being
admitted.
Ex-Governor Downey of Los Ange-
les was elected temporary chairman,
after spirited contest. The fight for
the position was between Judge Quint
and Governor Downey, and the result
of the ballot was IT'S for Downey and
146 for Quint. The result is regarded
as a triumph for Findley, and has had
depressing effect on his opponents.
After appointing Committees on
Organization and Resolutions, the
Convention adjourned until 10 O'clock
tomorrow morning.
The contest has narrowed itself to q
triangular fight between Findley,
Johnson and Irwin, with the chances
in favor of Findiey, whose friends to-
night are much elated.
The prospects of Wilson for Con-
gress and Estudillo for Treasurer are
regarded as very good. The clai ms of
Southern California and its CONNER
cial centre are fully recognized in the
Convention. There is feeling that
the other Conventions have blundered
and that on the Democratic Conven-
ton depends the duty of correcting it,.
You may be assured that wisdom and
statesmanship will direct the Conven-
ton.
