ADAM FoREPAUGH writes to The Gin
cinadi Commercial that his big ele-
phant Bolivar is still growing, and as
elephants are said to increase in size
until 100 years old, it will be impossi-
BILE for him to travel Bolivar by rail
road next season, as his car is already
up to the height limited by railroads.
He has therefore decided at the end of
this season to present the animal to
the queen of England to take the place
Of Jumbo in the Royal geological
garden.

Those hateful twins, constipation and bilious

We might enlarge, with ease,
on many other features of Repub;
lican neglect of this coast, but we
waive the point In favor OF local
aspect of the indebtedness of our
people to the Republican party.
When George G. Perkins was
elected Governor of California, by
an enormous plurality, many of
our people, irrespective of party,
had high hopes that his admins
tration would be one OF high pur.
poses, thoroughly creditsble to the
State. He was favorably known
personally, and it was conceded
that be had made q good Senator.
Yet no sooner was he elected Gov
ernor than the whole force of his
administration was thrown in
favor Of the "Slickensn enormity,
q project which has already cost
the State close upon a million dol
lars, and which was the entering
wedge to the most flagitieus
scheme of spoliation ever known
in any State. Boss Tweed, in his
palmiest days, never made SO bold
break at once as was embodied
in this plan of spoliating upon the
whole people for the benefit of q
portion of the people Of a half
dozen counties-in truth, for the
benefit of couple Of dozen by
draulic miners, who aimed to fill
their pockets. and TO compel the
farmers, mechanics and merchsnts
of the State to pay the greater part
Of the cost attending their unprin-
cipled and unscientific system of
mining. So far was the complais-
ance of the State administration
carried towards these people that
Governor Perkins sent into the
Legislature special message but
tressiDg up "slickens," and the
Republican Attorney General
Hart allowed himself to be made q
'stool pigeon" by the conspirators,
prostituting himself to the extent
of delaying an injunction ia the
Supreme Court of the State, then
sitting In San Francisco, while his
"Slickeps" confederates were get.
ting their warrants cashed in Sac
ramento. Not even Judge Bar
nard ever carried his compliance to
the Tweed ring to such shame
lees extent.
In the foregoing may be found a
few outlines, in silhouette, of the
obligations of the people of Cali
fornia to the Republ ican party.

Addie kiss Freddie. Finally the
young people came into the yard,

young couple departed. When

succeeded in enticing Addie to en-

terday, traversing the right of the
Gas Company to receive compen-
sation for having supplied the city
of Los Angeles with gas under q
faulty contract. This correspond.
ent bases his objections on two
purely technical grounds, viz, Q)
that the contract was invalid In
not having received the signature
Of the Mayor or a four.fifths vote
of the Council; (2) that the Gas
Company having differed with the
Mayor and City Attorney as to the
validity of their alleged contract
with the city, had gone into the
courts to test it. AS to the first
proposition, we believe that 1t is
now conceded on all hands that the
contract was fatally defective and
the final judgment of the court of
last resort has removed that phase
of the question beyond the pale of
controversy. There can be no
question of the fact that the Coun-
Gil should have observed even the
letter of the City Charter, and that
the Mayors attitude in the matter
was the legal one. AS a contract

ing the past as the future,
1t was voidable one, and has
been declared void by the compe.

his second postulate, however, we
differ in toto from the correspond.

his law is good, his ethics are
vicious in the extreme, In our APP.
probation. The fact that the COM
pany supposed that it had stipu.
lated rights which it sought to
have enforced In the courts by no
means overslaughs the equitable
principle that what the city has
used it ought to pay fair price
for. No one who has, night after
night and month after month, en-.
joyed the great convenience of
lighted streets, will dispute the
right of the Council to do substan-
tial justice in the premises by CIV

we are rightly advised, was will

Of the validity of the con-
tract was made by 1t. The corpora.
ton has now reached the Mayors
position, and the fact that it
thought 1t had higher rights than
1t now claims, and sought to have
them recognized in court of JUS

equities of the matter. Our people
