An UncOyeted Honor.

1t is little curious that there is only
one man in the country spoken of in
connection with the Republican nomina-
ton for the Presidency, and he doesn't
want it. "There is drift of public
opinion pointing to Judge Edmunds,
now President of the Senate and second
executive officer. as the next Repub-
lican candidate for the Presidency" we
are told, and it is addedhthat r' the only
Obstacle to the Edmunds boom will be
Edmunds himself"
This reminds US of, the notable de-
cline in value .of the Republican norni-
nation since 1880, when Chicago
swarmed with bidders for it-Grant,
Blaine, Sherman, Conklng. Edmunds,
Washburn, Allison, Garfield and others.
This was less than three years ago
and now the honor is going begging.
Nobody wants it. All the old aspirants
have retired from the field, and no new
ones have come forward to take their
places. TheeXplanationo Of the extraor-
binary generosity with which all
other great men in the party waive their
claims in favor of Senator Edmunds is
that the nomination is so barren and
worthless, and this is the explanation,
too, Of the Vermont Senator's reluIc-
lance corrective it. When thing has
lost its value everybody is willing that
some one else shall have it. Sc it
comes about that there is not a single
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton in the field. IL seems to be gener-
ally agreed in the party that Republic
anism has run its course, and the days
when it could elect its Presidential NOM
inees are oyer. 1t has worn a ghostly
look ever since last Noyember.-Er-
change.

A Kentucky farmer announced just
before his death that he had saved and
hidden seven jugs of gold for his seven
children, each jug containg 81 900. He.
at the last moment, attempted to tell
where the money was to be found, but
expired before he could impart the in
formation. Since that time a vigorous
search has been maintained. but SO far
only two of the jugs, each one contain
ing the specified amount of money, have
been found-one in the smoke-house-
the other in the stable. Y. Sun.

Lucy Hoopers Lstter in Philadelphia Telegraph
recently heard of an action on the
part OF young American girl toward a
French woman-insulter which has filed
my soul with admiration and delight
The young lady in question, who is a re-

and manners are alike unobtrusive, she
has never hesitated to 20 out alone

Finally, the other day, the affair came

san Francisco should EoIlOw Our
Example.

Loa Angeles reflected great deal OF
credit on herself by the promptitude
with which she adopted the Brush Elec-
trio Light illumination. 1t is true that
we were little behind San Jose in the
order OF its adoption, but the Garden
City simply had and has now only a
single mast, and no general system of
electrical lighting. The solitary mast
which was erected after the plan drawn
by Brother Owens, OF the Mercury, was
all very well in its way, but it did not
go far enough. Los Angeles rushed
into the experiment with all her heart,
and Mt once authorized the erection of
seven masts, all one hundred and fifty
feet high, two of them carrying four
lamps and five three, In addition, we
have two forty-foot posts at the Depot,
with one light on each. We have or
dered an additional mast for Sonora.
town. We thus have twenty-five lamps,
with total of seventy-fve thousand
candle power. The contract with the
Brush Electric Light Company is on the

As result of the visit OF the State
Board Of Equalization to Los Angeles
it is generally understood that that
body is in favor of advancing the assess
ments of this county. We trust that
these gentlemen will proceed with cir
cumspection in this matter. County As
SCISSOR Bilderrain has advanced the as
sessments for the current year ten per
cent, which we regard rs an equitable
figure. We do not pretend that the
Assessor valuations represent the actual
valuo of property in this section, but
neither do the valuations of the prop
erty Of the Bank of California, the
Anglo-California Bank, the Pacific Bank,
and SO on, ad iafnitum, of San Fran.
cisco, represent one:ffh of the valua-
tons OF those properties. In some in
stances they do not represent one tenth
Of their real value, and the gentlemen
who constitute the State Board of
Equalization know this as well as we do.
What we insist upon is the application
Of the rule that what is sauce for the
San Francisco goose shall be sauce for
tho Los Angeles gander. The gentlemen
who compose the State Board OF Equali-
zation go out into our streets, fix upon
a particular property, ask what it is
worth, are told some very big figure and
go back into the Office of the County
Assessor and find much less valuation.
We suggest that much greater discrep-
ancies will be found between valuations
assigned by rumor in San Francisco, in
Alameda, in Santa Clara, in Souoma,
and the other central and northern
counties, and the Assessors valuations,
than can be discovered in Los Angeles
county. Tho appraisement of the
State of California has been decreased
about $40, 900, 900 during the past two
years, although it is a matter of universal
notoriety that the State has never
known two more prosperous years in
her history than thetwo last past. These
decreased valuations have been reported
exclusively from the upper portions of
the State, while Los Angeles county and
the rest of Southern California have
reported steady enhancements in the
valuations fixed upon for purposes of tax
alton. We call upon the State Board of

basis of $1,000 for each mast. The bid
of the Los Angeles Gas Company was
for one hundred and sixty gas lamps Of
sixteen candle power each, or total CT
two thousand five hundred and sixty
candle power. as against the seventy
FIVE thousand candle power supplied by
the Brush Electric system. For this
comparatively insignifcant service the
Gas Company put In bid of s6, 9S5.
As a matter Of fact, we find that, under
our system Of electric illumination, the
city proper is far moro satisfactorily
lighted than ever before, while
the benefits to the people resid-
ing in the suburbs are sim.
ply incalculable. Through the nasts
placed at tho head Of First street and
near tho Normal School the illumination
is so vivid that tho Rev. Mr.. Bovard,
the Principal Of the University OF
Southern California, can see TO put up
his horse OF evenings, though at dis
tance Of about three miles. II also il.
Eliminates his study. The even diffusion
of this light and its penetration to great
distances are amongst its great attac-
lions. We see, by Tuesdays Ba!IssiT,
that the California Electric Light Com
pany has made proposition to the
Board Of Supervisors in San Francisco
to supply section of that city with
two hundred Brush Electric Lamps, of
an aggregate of 420, 900 candle power, as
against the present service of 1900 street
gas lamps, of $1,000 candle power. and
at considerable saving in outlay, at
that. While the HERALD don't pre-
sumo to dictate to the municipal legisla-
tors of our metropolitan city, we think
they will be very wise indeed to add to
the illumination OF San Francisco, while,
at the same time, they curtail the expense
Of their illuminating service. As a
chandelier overshadows farthing rush
light, so do the Brush Electric Lamps
douse the faint glimmer Of the feeble
and Pickering street gas lamps of the
old days. We have seen the contrast,
and we speak advisedly.
