The current Presidential campaign
will be marked by one very embarrassing
circumstance. Both Democratic and
Republican editors and speakers will be
compelled to refer to the Chicago plat
form, and which is which will bc a
matter only to be asccrtained by the
context of the articles or the tenor of
the speeches. 1t would have been in
far better taste TO have called the
Democratic National Convention at st.
Louis where, by the way, the party
nominated the last Democrat who was
elected President. While it may be
asked, "What's in a name 7" it may be
replied that there is good deal in
name. BY selecting st. Louis we should
have hit upon the almost exact geo.
graphical center of the country, while
the Democratic delegates would have
undergone less temptation from that
trinity of evils which st. Paul describes
rs the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of
the eye aud the pride of life However,
it may be held that Democrats are above
all ordinary temptations and they have
been bred in too correct school to
tolerate Chicago whisky.

The Anende Honorable.

To THE EDIroR OF THE HERALD
DEAR SIR: Owing to much regretted
misunderstanding between tho Colorado
Copper Mountain Mining Company of
your city, and myself I charged that
company, in letter to the Times of May
llth, with holding mining claims which
were null and void because Of prior To-
cation by myself and another gentle
man of Arizona. At conference held
with the Board of Directors Of the Com
pany on the night of May 18th, an ap-
parent conflict OF interest was adjusted
with the most entire satisfaction, and l
take this occasion to correct any preju-
dicial impressions my letter in the Times
may have given rise to.
As the matter now stands those
gentlemen and ourselves own all the
mines in the Williams Fork Mining Dis.
tfict, of Arizona, and think am par
donable in predicting that your people
will hear Of most promising develop
ments from that region in the matter of
copper mining in the early future.
GAIT. ISAAC POLHAMUs.

WE are advised by the telegraph that
Roscoe Conkling and "Me Too Platt"
have announced II to be their intention

but there can be no doubt that Arthur

he might even DO induced to forego his

Accident on the Desert.

The overland express, by the Sunset
Route, due in Los Angeles yesterday at
1890 NJ. p, met with u serious accident
near Seven Palms. A heavy rain had
softened the sandy track so that the
rails gave way from the passage of the
engine and tender throwing the postal,
express, baggage and passenger cars off
the track and tearing it all to pieces
One of the rails was forced up through
the baggage car, causing surprise to the
baggageman. One passenger was badly
bruised but no one was seriously injured.
A wrecking train was sent out with cars
for the baggage and passengers, which
were transferred and arrived in the city
last night at o'clock. Trainmaster
Lockwood thinks temporary track will
be laid around the break so that the
trains will not be detained while the
cars are being again placed on the track.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY WHITE lately
received n letter from Hon. P. b. Tully
informing him that the House is en-
tertaining very favorably the PROPOSE
ton to create n United States District
Court for Southern California. with Los
Angeles as the seat of Jurisdiction. In Mr..
Tully's opinion this desideratum will
shortly be accomplished. He also
speaks in encouraging terms of the
erection of government building here,
In which the court and other United
States officials may be housed. Mr..
Tully will establish on enduring claim
upon the gratitude of the people OF this
section il he succeeds in obtaining, these

Pardon of Col. Harris.

Mrs. Harris the wife of Col. T. s.
Harris, yesterday received letter from
Mrs. Reddy, the wife Of State Senator
Patrick Reddy, informing her that
Governor Stoneman had pardoned her
husband from his imprisonment at San
Quentin, where he had been sent for one
year, for an assault with deadly weap-
on in December. There were eight
petitions for this pardon from various
parts Of the State, signed by over 1000
leading citizens Of California. This
event was to be expected from the
circumstances Of the case, and the
Colonel will probably arrive in town to.
day or tomorrow, and be warmly greet

Another New Colony.

The advertisement Of the Croscenta
Canada appears in tho columns Of the
HERALD to-day. This rare and salu-
brious tract Is one Of the finest in the
United States. 1t is situated eleven
miles north of Los Angeles on an in
clined plain facing the sun, and elevated
from 500 to I, 500 feet above tho sea and
protected ou the north by the Sierra
Madre mountains, on the west by the
San Francisco Maria mountain. On the
east the plain opens to the lovely settle-
ment of Pasadena, while on the south
the beautiful, low Verdugo mountains
furnish scenes of beauty. The scenery
is grand and changes with every hour in
the day.
The tract is approached from the
north through the rich valley of San
Rafael and the Verdugo cahou, while on
the east long, straight avenue through
the tract extends to- the Arroyo Seco
and Pasadena. The land consists of q
500 acres Of rich, mellow soil, free from
frost ard hurricanes, and is well adapted
to the growth OF all kinds OF semi..ropi-
cal fruits and grapes. There can be no
better land for oranges, lemons and
lines. which there grow to great per-
fection. 1t is also a noted place for the
growth OF small fruits and olive trees
Two crops of vegetables year are as
easily raised on this land us one crop is
in the Eastern States. Crops were never
known to fail in that portion of the
rancho that is being cultivated. As for
healthfulness the tract is unsurpassed
The land has been subdivided into small
tracts and will be sold in lots of five, ten,
twenty or more acres on reasonable
terms and time. In the central part of
the tract town site of forty acres has
been laid out for the location of school
house, postofiice, store, church, black
SIN ith and carpenter shop, fruit cannery
and drier, and large hotel.
On the upper side of the tract DIR. b.
b. Briggs has erected a building for a
sanitarium, made of concrete and over
looking the entire tract, the country be-
low, and the islands in the Pacific ocean
sixty miles distant. A large number OF
intelligent gentlemen will make homes
in Crescenta Canada, and have ordered
the work to be begun at once in clearing
the land of greasewood to max g room
for the planting OF trees. The water
from two mountain streams has been
brought on the tract in iron pipes, and
will be placed in reservoirs for irrigation
and domestic use. The water is very
pure and soft, anl but little of it is
needed for irrigating purposes as the
rainfall is so large that with cultivation
no irrigation is required for fruit trees,
grapes and melons A water right goes
with the land The rainfall for the past
seven months at this place was sixty
inches, to which must he added the
| drainage from the mountains of about
the same amount. making 100 inches of
rainfall on this favored land within the
year.

THE failure Of the Republican Legisla-
ture OF 1881 TO district the state pursu-
ant 10 the provisions OF the new Consti.
tuition has made il necessary. in the
opinion Of many Of the most eminent
lawyers of California, for the members
Of the odd numbered Senatorial
districts to hold over, aud the
Democratic Legislature has taken this
view Of tho matter. The Repub.
icon State Central Committee has
undertaken TO brow-beat Governor
Sioueman into ordering an elec.
tion for these districts. While
tho Constitution provided for the re-
tirement of Senators who were elected
from the odd numbered districts after
the frat session oi the Legislature elected
under that instrument it Distinctly con
templated that these persons 30 retiring
were to be elected In 1881, after now
apportionmsnt Tho odd numbero dds
trcts now are not the odd numbered
districts Of 1881, the old system begin
ming the rotation Of Senatorial districts
with Siskiyou, and running down to San
Diego county, and the present beginning
with San Diego and running up to
Siskiyou. BY such radical change Of
numbering the districts everything has
been turned topSy.turyy, and very few
Senators know Just where they are as
compared with the past. II the Repub-
lic,ns should proceed to hold elections
Ia the odd numbered districts without the
governors having embraced such plan
In his call, these elections would bs in.
valid and would undoubtedly be SO held
by the proper authorities. The fact that,
by the hold-over plan, the Democrats
have an overwhelming majority In the
Senate ought to cut no figure In the
matter. by deferring the operation ol
the constitutional rule to the first cleo
ton held under the new apportionment,
which is what the Constitution itself
aims at. the spirit il not the letter OF
that instrument will be carried out, aud
when man becomes candidate for
Senator in an odd numbered district
both he and his constituents will know
| Just what is ahead for both, and no
injustice will be done to any one. Our
Republican friends should bear in mind
the fact that it was their own stubborn
partizanship which made the present
situation inevitable. by defeating
apportionment in 1881 they necessarily
deferred the operation Of the new Con-
stitution o, respects the odd numbered
districts. In other words, they were
hoist by their own petard, and we have
no doubt q Democratic Governor will
hold them to the consequences OF their
folly. Boo-hooing over their stupidity
now is very undignilied proceeding.

The question as to whether or no the
United States should let its merchant
marine and navy utterly die out is one
of great moment Time was when the
New England Coast supplied the hardi.
est and most skillful sailors in the world
and when American built clipper ships
extorted the admiration OF all who were
versed in nautical architecture. That
day is bravely past; and, to-day, we are
menaced with the danger of being con-
verted into nation of "land lubbers," "
to whom tho traditions OF Paul Jones and
Oliver Hazard Perry are what the monu-
ments of Rameses The Great now are
TO the Fel!ah of Egypt. Anything
which has tendency to reinstate the
United States as a maritime power
should be most heartily welcomed by
all patriotic Americans. The pity is
that jobbing has become such an in-
grained habit under Republican rule
that all efforts 10 resurrect both our com
merce and our navy are heavily handi.
capped by the natural national disgust.
of late there are not wanting signs, how
ever, of Congressional sensitivene,s as
to our pitif,i status on the sea, and every
now and then some member OF either
house rises in his place and proposes
either to subsidize American steamships,
under the guise OF paying for carrying
the mails, or allowing a rebate in duties
on goods imported into this country il
American bottoms. For years the most
ringing political keynote ever heard ii
this country was "free ships and sailors
rights. 1t was good cry and the as
sertion OF the sentiment clustering around
il gave the United States its first impeiu,
on the road to power and
glory. AIyriad4 of patriotic Amert
cans are waiting to hear similar
chords sounded to-day, although, ot
course, the circumstances have changed
In all likelihood the best things that
could be done now to place the United
States in the old path would be to permit
Of a United States registration Of ships
built abroad for American owners, to
make a liberal rebate on goods carried
in American bottoms, to subaidi2e baud.

be understood that the United States
would contract for vessels of war on the
Clyde if they could not get them on
eligible terms at home. Under such a
policy we should soon re-establish q
merchant marine second only to that Of
Great Britain and we would also find
ourselves possessed of navy second tC
that of no country in the world. Thus
