Probably never in the history OF Los
Angeles has there been an election in
which so little interest was taken by
the mass of the population as in that OF
yesterday. The poll was not forty per
cent OF The total vote Of the city Of Los
Angeles, and the Democratic apathy
was simply appalling. AS a result the
Republicans have elected their nominees
for the Board OF Education, while the
Democrats have just succeeded in retain
ing thoir hold on the City Council.
The latter body will stand eight Demo-
Gratis to six Republicans and one Iude-
pendent. The lesson taught by the
election is that political party must
not only nominate good ticket but
work for ii, If they wish to win.

The annual report Of General Merritt,
Superintendent Of the Military Academy
at West Point, shows that there arc fifty
five Professora and commissioned officers,
and three hundred and scventy-one ca
diets at the academy. During the year
no deaths had occurred among the cadets,
officers or enlisted men. Considering
the situation of West Point, It is strange
that instruction in swimming has never
been given until the year just closed.
Ia June sixty-seyen of the new cadets
could not swim, but now all the class,
except two, are good swimmers. The
general tone and discipline of the cadets
is good. During the last hall year nearly
one.half Of them had no demerit marks
against them. Instruction in the de.
partment of Military Engineering has
been very thorough, particular attention
being given to practical bridge building.
The practice Of 'hazing' has been
broken mp entirely.

FEeM the report OF the United States
Treasurer IL appears that the amount Of
registered bonds held abroad IL but a
triAe in excess OF seventeen million dol
lars, whereas at the close of the previ-
Gus fiscal year the amount was in excess
over thirty millions. Should surplusfunds
continae to accumulate in the Treasury
tho Secretary must continue to call in
the bonds Of the government. Some
well-founded alarm il felt already lest
the circulation Of the national banks be
contracted dangerously as consequence
OF this necessity. II it were possible to
call first bonds held abroad the country
would gain in two ways. The danger Of
seriously crippling the banks would be
reduced materially, and an additional
amount Of coin now sent abroad to pay
interest on bonds held out of the Uni
ted States would bo kept in the country.
The amount mentioned Is ia registered
bonds, but it is probable that there are
many millions Of unregistered bonds Of
the United States held in Europe.

THERE will be but one system OF the
new time standard, but there is about to
be trouble in the matter Of degrees ol
heat and cold Professor Waldo, ol
Yale College, adopted new thermome
ter scale, based upon careful study ol
American and European standards, and
believed to conform TO natures mark'
and stations And now General Hazen
of the Weather Bureau, has adopted
another standard. Thus, an element oI
confusion will be thrown into the " orb
OF meteorologists. It doesn't matter
much here in Los Angeles, where, al
the year round, there is relatively SC
slight variation OF the temperatures oi
the air But just think of those fellows
east of the mountains. Waldo's stand
ard might make man fear that he was
about to receive sunstroke, while
Hazens standard informed him that he
ought to be freezing, or vice versa. Tho
two conflicting standards will form a sad
puzzle to those quidnunes who live and
move and have their being by the ther
momcter.

Ir ia now asserted that General Grant 5
letter to General Fitz John Porter, in
which he explained how and when he
was led TO 'ohanga his mind" with re-
gard to the claim OF the latter, was
prompted by self-interest rather than o
love of Justice The bill to put Grant
back in the army, although on the re-
tired list met with great objection when
introduced in the last Congress. Even
a Republican committee refused to re-
port it back favorably. Had the bill
been so reported back there would have
been much opposition to it from the
Democratic side OF the House. This
bill, it is said, will be tackled on as an
amendment to bill TO restore Porter to
the army, in the hope that in this way
Grants object will be attained. Grants
having changed his mind at this late
day concerning the Fitz John Porter
case is remarkable, to say the least OF il,
although, to be sure, Grant never had
very much OF mind on any subject to
be changed. Even at the cost of pro.
yiding the great receiver of gifts with a
sinecure for life justice should be done
to Porter. Let the bill and its amend.
ment pass together If there be no other
way OF making amends to Porter for
years OF unmorited disgrace.

TnE discovery of extensive election
frauds on the part of the Malone
Republican combination of Virginia at
the late election continues to increase
the popular majority in favor OF the
Democrats. In one precinct fl fly eight
Republican votes were cast by persons
not ON the registration books. In Phil
adelphia the committee of one hundred

fraudulent Republican voting. In
Duchess county, New York, and else.

IL France it is proposed that children
while studying geography be taught tho
courses OF railways with the same care
that they are taught those of rivers. In
our own schools this practice might be
adopted with advantage. While the
course OF rivers which are not navigablc
is of very little Importance to grown
person, the advantage OF knowing by
what railways and in what space of time
passengers and merchandise may go from
one place to another, OF country so ex'
tensive as the United States, must be
apparent to every one. The matter is
recommended to the Board OF Educa-
ton, in the hope that it may see fit to
order the adoption OF the practice.

A woman's Views OF the Ed
muuIs ksiII.

CHICAGO, Doo. 5.-Mrs. Ruth Everett,
CT Salt Lake City, is la the city, and
stated to reporter OF the Times that a
petition was being numerously signed by
Mormon women protesting against
further anti polygamy legislation by
Congress. A great many women signed
this petition, said Mrs. Everett, under
apprehension and threats. AT the
recent election polygamists generally
abstained from voting, and made
their wives vote the church
ticket. While polygarnists are
disfranchised under the Elmunes bIIi,
il is almost impossible to prove that
they are living in polysainy, and conse-
quently they can swear in their votes.
There is as much marrying and giving
in marriage now as before the passage
of the Edmunds bill, hut disfranchise-
nent and punishment are obviated by
maintaining separate establishments ioi
each family, and claiming that one only
ia the original one. In great iority
Of these cases the wives support
the husbands, or either maintain thei,
own household Mrs. Everett stated
that, after close observation, she could
see but very littlo il any benefit
from the Edmunds bill. 1t Is not strong
enough and is too easily eveded, The
Evangelist would recommend the abol-
ishing of woman suffrage as the first stel
toward suppressiug polygamy and the
ultimate downfall of the Mormon Church.
She thought it strange commentary on
woman suffrage that the only place
where i. exists it is nsed to debase and
enslave those whom it should enoble.
