WE understand that the Hon. John
p. Irish will pass through Los Ange es
shortly on his way East to fulfill speak
ing appointments assigned to him by the
Democratic National Committee. 1t is
universally conceded that Mr.. Irish il
one of the most gifted and persuasive
orators in the United States. 1t strikes
us that it would be an excellent thing II
Mr.. Irish were invited to address the
Democracy of Los Angeles. He would
quite overshadow the Hon. Thomas
Fitch, who has already spoken here, and
tho Hon. A. A. Sargent. who is to follow
him. 1t would be treat to our people
to be permitted to listen to one OF lowa''
aforetime silver-tongued sons trenchant
and mastery expositions of Democratic
doctrine
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1884-08-31

OsK Of the fnrcical features Of the
present campaign is the use which \
sought to be made Of an occasional
Irishman who can be paraded as Re-
publican. Upon close inquiry 1t Is
nearly always discovered that this indi-
vidual has either been a true-blus Re-
publican all along or he Is working the
Republican man and brother for all
there is in the racket. Here Irish Dem
ocrats who have been converted into
supporters Of Blaine are IS scarce a.
hens teeth. The Irish Democrats nll
stand pat aud in addition the German
race has come bodily over to Cleveland
and Hendricks. to say nothing Of the
Latin races aud Europeans generally,
who cannot brook the temperance ia.
naticism and sumptuary law nonsense Of
the Republican party.

By COMMON consent the campaign will
open in earnest in this State with the
opening days OF September. A great
number of stump speakers, of more or
less celebrity, will then be let loose on
the devoted people of both parties.
Col. Markham, we are told, will begin
his Congressional fight by speaking at
San Benito on the 9th proximo. Hon.
r. F. Del Vale has already practically
begun his by a speech to ward club in
this city. His prominence at the Sierra
anniversary ceremonies will suggest to
the people of California the striking
propriety of sending to the Congress OF
the United States an accomplished and
versatile representative of the native
ons of California. On the whole, the
of are abundant that, by the middle
under waning month, we shall have
and earnestnempaign of great interest
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1884-08-31

THE quiet persistency with which Los
Angeles's great wealth in petroleum Il
overlooked in estimates Of the riches
of California counties is q little surpris.
ing. The trath is that, from all the in
dications, we shall be producing crude
oil at the rate of ten million dollars
worth year very shortly. Now that
the petroleum deposits iu Pennsylvania
are manifestly giving out this source oi
our peoples wealth bids fair to attract
even national attention.

Col. JonN P. IRISH explains that the
mortgage sale Of the Oakland Times,
which has been telegraphed all over the
country, had nothing to do with the
property of the Times Publishing Com
pany, but really covered some old mate
rial, belonging to the defunct Transcript
newspaper. Indeed, the Times has
lately donned new dress and looks the
very picture Of comely prosperity.

Songs of the People.
lFrom tho Philadelphia Press


Stephen G. Foster, the author Of ''Old
Dog Tray" and 'Old Folks at Home, u
was genuine American, farmers boy,
who had but limited opportunity for
musical instruction; still Of his "Old
Folks" fully |, ,0OO, 900 copies have been
sold, and his ''0ld Dog Tray" 600, 900.
Besides these his "Uncle Ned" and
"Susana. are favorites. The reason Of
the popularity of Fosters songs lies in
their easy flowing melody. the adher-
ence to plain chords in the accompani-
ments, and the avoidance of intrlcacy
in the harmony of embarrassing accl-
dentals in the melody. F! was
present when they buried this
sweet singer in Pittsburg in
lS46 to the strains Of his own
song, "Come Where My Love Lies
Dreaming" 1t is the simplicity and
sweetness of tune that makes the popu.
lars lar singer, ,sS.s and the same conditions hold
Henry 6. Work, newspaper man,
lately deceased, is the author OF ''Come
Home, Father" and "Grandfather's
Clock;" of each over 20, 600 copies have
been sold. The famous "Silver Threads
Among the Cold" with as large sale
as the two former together, is by II. P.
Danks, an organist. VIII s. Hays, an.
other newspaper man, wrote the songs
"Evangeline, "Nora 0'Neill" and
''Shamus 0'Brien," each having a sale
Of over 100000 copies. "Shoo Fly,
Don't Bodder Me, put Me in My Lit.
It'd Bed" and Come, Birdie, Come, were
composed by c. A. White, and have
been published by the author. OF each
Of them fully $50, 900 copies have been
sold, "Dont be Sorrowful, Darling,
and sIorena," are by j. P. Webster, q
simple country music teacher, and "Gath.
ering Shells by the Sea Shore" is by w.
S. Thompson, each song having sale of
over 300, 200. LEAF by Leaf the Roses
Fall" and Pretty as a Picture" are by
T. B. Bishop, musical broker, who has
the satisfaction of knowing that over
100, 600 copies Of his songs have already
been sold, and an equal number will be
sold before they die out.
Of John Howard Payne's wonderful
air over 1000, 900 copies must have been
sold, and the publishers will grow rich
from the work Of the singer who died
far away from the home he so
passionately loved. To this same
class of popular songs belongs Thomas
Moore's "Last Rose of Summer" of
which l, 500, 900 copies sold in this coun.
try, and it has, therefore, aplaee among
American songs. OF f"Kathleen Mavour-
neen, by F. N. Crouch, 500. 900 copies
have been sold, and it is still in much de.
mand. Crouch is an Englishman who has
been in this country since lS4s. "Sweet
BY and By" is by J. p. Webster, and
its sale will soon reach 100000 copies.
Then come Joe Emmet's "Sweet Vio-
let's" w. J. Scanlan's "Piek.a-Boo. "
Frank Howard's when the Robins
Nest Again" and Ben Williams's "a
Boys Best Friend is His Mother" !
could give no figures as to the sales OF
these songs, but they will all reach the
half-million figure.

That from the effect OF blow over the

Grim against him for S2,055. He claims
that he did not find ou. until 1884 the

THE periodicity of accidents was well
illustrated by the collisions on the race

Hartford, in Connecticut, on the 2Sth

trifling are very frequent. There is nc
apparent reason why, after a railway
collision on the New York Central there

LONDON, Aug. 30.-The Pail Mall

foundation for the report that China

Chow affair as an act of treachery on
the part OF Courbet, who took advan-
iage accorded to war ships to enter Chi
nese ports. Barbarity Of ccntin nuing fire

ed, is cause for this intense excitement
