WE know of no road to political
success other than downright work
For over year Democrats have
been treated to the singular spscta'
Gle, in Los Angeles county, of @
party which has silently submitted
to disintegrating elements. While
. faction which confessedly aimed
ct disruptiug. the Democracy
has held unnumbered meetings
and organized numerous clubs;
while hundred orators have held
forth from as many unpretentioui
rostrums in the work of wiling
away, one by one, its m bership
the Democracy has simply done
nothing, and this in face of the
fact that most important issues are
involved in the general election
next fall. We do not regard the
chances as overshadowing that the
next Presidential election will be
thrown into the House of Repre-
sentatives, but taere is such q
chance. California may decide the
result in that event, and yet we
have voluntarily chosen a passive
policy. We are to-day in face of a
crisis which will chronicle either
the circumstance or decadence of the
local Democracy. The State elec-
tlon will be in favor of either the
Republicans or the Workingmen,
as the case now stands; the election
for Congressman in the Fourth
Congressional District and for the
judicial and county offices in Los
Angeles will be in favor of either
Che Republicans or the Democrats.
The Republican policy points to a
"still hunt" The leaders of that
party would show lack of politi-
cal wisdom to agitate. Their ex-
pectation is that the lukewarmness
Of the Democratic and the energy
OF the Workingmen's organizations
will pull their chestnuts out of the
fre. 1t is shrewd calculation and
We concede that there are many
points in its favor. Only one thing
can derange the programme, and
that is thorough Democratic re.
vival. We heartily hope that we
shall be able to chronicle it, in
time.

Cattle Dyiag -f SiorvatIor.
OMAHA, Feb. lS.-The Nebraska
cattle men are becoming greatly
alarmed for their cattle, which are
becoming famished owing to the
grass having been covered with
twelve to fourteen inches OF snow
for eighteen days, II thing which
has never before occurred in the
grazing region of Nebraska. This
is proving the severest winter ever
known for cattle on account of the
difficulty in obtaining food. Be.
tween 10000 aud $4,000 head, be-
tween the North and South Platte
rivers, are drifting down TO the
junction Of the two streams and
many are dying. 1t is said that If
the snow holds on ten days more at
least one-half of these cattle will
die. Cattle have been driven all
the way down from Sidney and
Julesburg, distance of 40 to 200
miles. Efforts are being made to
cross them to sections south of the
South Platte river, where the tall
grass appears above the snow. Dur
ing yesterday and to day 10000 to
| 1900 were crossed. Cattle north
of the North Platte and south Of
the South Platte are in fair condi-
tton and but few have died among
them. The Union Pacific Railroad
is frequently blocked with half
famished cattle so that trains are
impeded.
Sentenced 60 be Hanged.
OMAHA, Feb. 1S.-James McEl-

A bill for divorce was fled in the Office of
the district court yesterday by Angeline M.
Jones from her husband, Nelson Jones, on
the grounds of cruelty. The parties to the
action are both colored, and were Joined in
wedlock in April, 1873, since when domestic
difficulties have arisen that reveal the most
wretched state of marital infelicity possible
for the mind to imagine.
Numerous instances of the most cow
ardly brutality are alleged in the bill,
and if half of the charges are true, the hus-
band must have practiced cruelty as fine
art. His favorite pastime, as alleged in the
bill, consisted in the manly practice of kick
ing his wife, which he varied by threatening
to cut her throat. It is also alleged that the
life of the wife was jeopardized by neglect
during child birth, the woman being unat-
tended, while her liege lord wllfully tarried
in gambling house. the child subsequently
| dying from inattention.
The wife also states that her lord was want
to caress her with whatever rude instrument
happened to come uppermost, alleging as an
instance, the fact of him having hurled q
large bone at her head, while at the dinner
table last December, at which time he also
assailed her with knife. The above are q
few of the reasons why Mrs. Jones believes
she should be granted a divorce.

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR BEACONsFIELD.
LONDON, April 30.-In the house of lords to-
night Lord Bateman moved resolutions in
favor of reciprocity nd parliamentary in
quiry to ascertain the means of counteracting
the Injurious effects of excessive foreign tar
ifs. Lord Beaconsfeld said the utmost the
government could do in negotiating COM
mercial treaties was to see that England
had the benefit of the most favored
nation clause. He objected to violent changes.
The indefinite inquiry recommended in the
easiness. 1t was absurd to describe the con-
dition of the country one of distress and
distraction. He believed there were evidences
that trade was reviving. Earl Gran
vile agreed that there were signs
of revival in the United States owing to the
wonderfully good harvest: He hoped trade
would generally revive until it at least attained
its old position. He congratulated Lord
Beaconsfeld on so di i,tinctly repudiating
fallacious specifics. The motion was negatived.
