The attention of the country is con-
centered, with q remarkable degree Of
intensity, upon the result of the cleo
tions which will take place next Tues
day. They will occur simultaneously in
ten States; and, while they will all pos
sess a certain measurable interest, the
anxiety of the quidnuncs is concentrated
almost exclusively upon New York,
Massachusetts, and Virginia. There is
sort OF pluck and audacity about Ben
Butler which are greatly admired by
many persons who half wish him at the
devil. Should he be reelected Governor
Of Massachusetts, on the Democratic
ticket he would undoubtedly eventuate
o. one of the dark horses that might,
under certain supposable conditions,
figure in a Democratic National Conven-
ton, even though, as is unquestionably
the case, he be q round decade of years
older than Tilden. Notwithstanding
the reported dissensions in the Demo
cratic party in New York, we believe
that we shall win in the Empire State.
1t would be quite unpleasant to Demo
Gratis. without question, should the re-
suit prove otherwise. Still we regard
the outcome in the State of Virginia as
even more important than New York
We will know, in few days, whether
the shallow fraud entitled Mahoneism
h an ephemeron or an ugly and disgust
ing permanent factor in our politics.
The really absorbing features of the ap-
preaching contest, although not the
most important, will have their theater
Of action in the Bay State and in the
Old Dominion.

That Meteor.

The brilliant meteor seen at Santa
Barbara by Deputy Sheriff Gard, and
mentioned in the HERALD of Friday, is
thus described in the Santa Barbara
Independent.
Last evening at about o'clock, those
who were fortunate enough to be out of
doors witnessed one of the rarest and
most interesting illuminations. For n
few seconds the sky was lighted up by
what appeared to be very large meteor
rushing from the northeast to the north
west, inclining towards the earth at an
angle of about As degrees. When first
observed, its apparent distance from the
horizon was about SO degrees. The
whole sky and earth were suddenly
illuminated as by a powerful electric
light. The sound of the fast rushing
body was similar to that made by large
fire rocket. When about 20 degrees
from the horizon, the flaming object
burst into two pieces. with an audible
explosion, and rapidly disappeared,
leaving broad luminous pathway OF
phosphorescent ribbon, like cloud,
which was plainly visible for about fif-
teen minutes. We have attempted to
describe the appearance and effect OF
this wandering fragment, as it rushed to
our earth in its pathway through space.
1t was no doabt very large aeroite,
aud appeared to descend into the sea
not far from our channel.

The last issue of the Western Wapc
comes to us with several editorial arG-
cles devoted to the HERALD. There
seems to be sort of congenital inability
upon the part of any temperance paper,
or supposititious paper, to do either the
fair or truthful thing with an opponent.
One would be tempted to believe, from
etheir actual performances, that these
journals, If one may call them such,
would rather lie than eat The HERALD,
with good sense which all people of
intelligence will commend, desires to see
the splendid and remunerative vineyard

tanned and increased; and, as we have
frequently explained, in the interest of
genuine temperance, at that. Here is q
frank programme which we would not
modify il we could, and could not ii we
would. Our contemporary puts this en-
tirely proper attitude of Southern Cal
ifornia newspaper in the light of a cham-
pionship OF the saloons. Certainly we
do not envy people who would put such
q poor construction on an obviously pa
triotic and beneicent impulse. We would
far rather be one of the publicans than
belong to Pharisaic tribe who seek to
obstruct the advance Of real temperance
by fanatieal onslaughts on the personal
liberties of mankind. This attempt has
failed even in Iowa, it has just
failed most signally in Ohio; and we
pity the old women and womanish men
who think il can be made to succeed in
Southern California.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-11-04

An individual who signs himself
"Plebs," and who, we see, has been
writing oil round the board, sends com
munication. to the HERALD asking how
many Chinese there are in the United
States, and whether, in our opinion, the
Chinese Restriction Act amounts to
much. On referring to Mccarthy 8
Statistician we find that the Asiatics,
Chinese, Japanese, East Indians, ETC.,
footed up l05,7l7 in 1880. The Mongo-
lians in California, by the last census,
amounted to 75,025, as against 9,3l0
In lS70--an increase Of about fifty per
cent. in q decade. As to the second
question, we refer "Plebs" to the files OF
the HERALD, Of date coincident with
the emasculated Restriction Act, in
which the -ebjections which are now
being urged against the Act were made
very trenchantly in this journal. Never
theless, poor as the present Restriction
Act is, we believe that, with Demo
cratic national administration, which
will be Forthcoming next Fall, it could
be made largely operative for good.

fully neglected Of late. Here is little

once, is this thus1 We are confronted
in Los Angeles by the singular spectacle
OF real estate enhancements which have
hardly been surpassed on the American
continent in the past two years, and yet
we seem to begrudge dollar to beautify
and preserve our few public breathing
places. At best, we have only two, the
Plaza, opposite the old Cathedral, al
most counting for nothing. The truth
Is that, In streets, in sidewalks and in
everything which shows a measurable
response to an exceptional era Of pros
pority, Los Angeles is away behind her
poorer neighbors. As city we have
absolutely no accommodations for our
municipal officials, while the city jail,
notwithstanding the best efforts Of Col.
Jim Thompson, is gross satire upon
the modern civilization. The dobie"
white washed walls Of that edifice are
stinging reproach. II Is our exigent
duty to apply ourselves to the preserva-
tion Of our few parks, to the crea-
ton Of streets and sidewalks and
to the development, in our pub
lio concerns, OF some resemblance
to the enterprising methods Of Eastern
communities. There are little county
seats without number, in the East,
which possess $4,000 Court Houses and
other public institutions, incomparably
ahead of our own. We ought to remedy
this lamentable state Of things, and at
once. The question recurs, over all,
what do we do with the large sums OF
money which are yearly raised for pub
lie purposes?

George Toy Rescues the Bride of His
Youth from Massachusetts Poor

BosToN, April IA Philadelphia man

strange quest. About % years ago George
Toy took to himself wife in that city, but
deserted her III few weeks. Mrs. Toy was
poor and mad hard struggle to support her
self and the little girl that came to her in a
few months. Several years passed and Mrs.
Toy, tired of the fight with poverty and,
losing all hope of Georges return, married
another man. This union was not a happy
one and soon separation was agreed upon
and divorce followed. A third hus-
band was added to the list, who
died two years ago. About seven
months ago the widow in the third degree,
because of illness aud destitution, was com
PEELED to become a guest at the City Farm
Meantime the daughter had been married
but was unable to contribute to her mother 8
support. \ day or two ago an elderly gen
tlemau called at the Poorhouse to see the
mother. 1t was George Toy Recognition was
mutual Toy proffered her his hand again;
it was accepted and last evening the broken
chain was reunited by a clergyman. This
morning the bridal couple called upon their
daughter, whose acquaintance Mr.. Toy was
glad to make, and this evening took a train
for Philadelphia where their home will be.
During his years of absence Toy spent much
time in the Western States and Territories
where he accumulated considerable prop
erty.
