Our esteemed contemporary, the
San Francisco Post, takes the New
York Woria to task because that
journal does not believe in the Demo-
cratic party making fool of itself by
declaring for free trade. 1t accuses the
World Of preferring expediency TO prin-
ciple. The fact is that the Democratic
party, as a party, is in no wise com
mitted to free trade, however it may be
with individual Democrats, and nobody
knows this better than the Post. The
rot about free trade, in truth, IL prin.
cipally confined to such Republican
newspapers as the New York Herofd.
the New York Epeaing Post, the Chicngo
Tribune, and score OF other influential
Republican journals, with few solitary
exceptions, snch as the Louisville
Courier. journal, to prove the rule Of
absteniion on the Democratic side.
Our ordinarily fair San Fiancisco con
temporary should be above holding the
Democratic party responsible for antics
OF few free trade Democratic cranks
when its own party has five OF the guild
10 our one.

Nh. STERN, of the firm OF Stern h
Rose. is now paying his annual visit to
the Sunny Slope vineyard. His manage
ment in the East of the colossal concerns
OF this famous house has been enterpris.
ing and skillful in the extreme, a fact
which is attested by its constantly in
creasing business. Although twelve mill
ion pounds of grapes were crushed at the
Sunny Slope Winery last year, and the
scale of operations has been almost as
large for some years past, the Messrs.
Stern & Rose are put to- it to supply their
Eastern customers. They are now en-
gagged in buying up all the matured Los
Angeles wines which can be secured, in
order to supply theis trade. They have
already made large purchases at Ana
helm, and the San Gabriel Wine Com.
pany are also entertaining an offer from
them for large quantity of wine Mr..
Stern thinks that, considering the whole
sale scale in which horticulturists are
rushing into vine planting all over Cali
fornia, the vineyard business may be
overdone for while. This evil, should
it arise, will be temporary and will regu-
late itself, in time. To the extent to
which people OF means, who can hold
and grade their wines aud brandies, 60
into the business of growing grapes will
this danger be averted. The Sunny
slope vineyard already consists of eight
hundred and seventy-fiye acres, and Mr.
l.. j. Rose is adding to it every year, and
is. besides, setting out the best foreign
varieties OF the grape.

WnAr the Old Man of The Mountain
was 10 Sinbnd the Sailor the kepubli-
can party has turned out TO be to
the Navy and the commercial marine
of the United States, Through the
license of fiction Sinbad finally escaped
from bis prosecutor. Far less fortunate
have the people of this country proved
to be. Az Gen. Butler remarked, in one of
his felicitous chats, the Yankee Sailor
Boy is rapidly becoming an extinct
being The senseless way in which the
Republican party has administered the
doctrine of protection has made it inn
possible for US to build ships. Every
thing which enters into the construction
of vessel in.the United States is taxed
by the tariff up to so high standard
of cost that the ship-builder of the
Clyde simply laughs at the men who,
in the old dnys, were wont to construct
the matchless clipper ships which, from
Portland to Baltimore. were yearly
turned out on the bosom of the broad
ocean, to the honor of the American
name. Butler suggests a rebate in the
tariff on all articles entering into the
building of American ships. Therein
he INDUCED in words OF wisdom-solid

IT NOW turns out that the copious
rain which was reported from Santa
Barbara was simply rcfcrable to the en-
thusiasm of a telegraph operator II be-
gan to rain; but, alasi it did not keep up
its lick. There are not wanting signs,
however, that Southern California is
shortly to be visited by a thorough
drenching, which, lot us hope, will cause
Santa Barbara to forget her momentary
disappointment.

MAYOR TuoM, in his message. dwells
upon the necessity for the erection OF
suitable municipal buildings in our pro.
gressivc city. The head of the munich
pality thus reinforces the standing lee
ture Of the HERALD. He is entirely right
on this proposition. Why should Los
Angeles be behind our California com
munities, which have not half her
wealth or prosperity, when it comes to
legitimate expenditures for the public
convenience The dirty old 'dobe den
in which our city officials are now housed
is an anachronism and protest against
American progress. Away with il, by
all means, and let Los Angeles have
public buildings commensurate with the
modern age. As we stand to-day we en-
counter the sneer of the Fastener aud
Of the Californian from abroad, who
wonders how it is that community can
at once be so progressive and so coma
tose as ours.

IT is already apparent that, while n
lot Of Republican zanies are crying out
about the mistakes the present Demo
cratic House of Representatives is cer-
tain to commit, that body will be one of
the wisest and most patriotic in the po-
litical annals of the United States. In
stead of adopting the free trade vagaries
which its enemies hoped to see ii fall
into, by the decisive defeat of Mr.. s. s.
Cox, the Free Trade candidate for
Speaker, it has sent all that nonsense
to the right about. One thing it has
already done. 1t has paralyzed the
lobby, which always fares so luxuriously
on a God and Morality yclept a Repub-
iican Congress. The people can twig a
n thing or two, and it is not always pos
sible to blind them to what is going on
under their noses. Already, as an incl
dent of the assembling of Democratic
House of Representative, there is moro
of ozone and electricity in the political
atmosphere of the United States. The
mephitic air of hypocrisy, which has so
long fingered around Washington, is
already measurably purified.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. S.-The search in the
ruins of the convent at Belleville was re.
sumed this morning, and up to one
O'Clock two more bodies were found.
The remains of the Sister Superior, Mary
Jerome, were discovered at noon. They
were identified by her spectaeles, with a
gold chain attached to tae cross and ro.
ssry. The remains reported yesterday as
those of Sister Angela, are now supposed
to be those of Sister Edwina. Granting
that each little heap of charred bones and
roasted flesh, that SO far have been taken
from the ruins, represent a separate
body, and it is very difficult to determine
whether they do, there are still five per-
sons missing. The funeral OF the vie.
Tins has been fixed for Thursday. All
the priests and fathers of the diocese OF
Alton are invited to attend.

Vanderbilt's Treasurc-Vault.

stood the other day in the vault of
the formidable fortress of iron and
masonry on Forty-second street, where
last year the richest nabob in the world
locked up his 5000, 900 in stocks,
bonds and other securities. 1t is one
of the most redoubtable works of de-
tense on the American continent,
though you may not be entirely GER
tain of that by surveying the building
from the outside. Its foundations wero
blasted out of the rock; the front wall
is five feet in thickness, and the side
and rear walls are three feet, the ma
terials used being pressed brick with
brown-stone trimmings. The beams,
girders and main pillars are iron, in
cased in tireproof material. The doors,
window-frames, and minor partitions
are iron, marble, and glass. No wood
is to be found in the structure. The
great vault is 36x42 feet, of wrought
iron, steel, and Franklinite iron, is i'm
posing in strength and proportions,
and is situated on the ground floor.
Its four outer doors weigh $500 each,
and have every effective and known
improvement in defensive devices. A
massive wall of masonry surrounds the
| iron work. The vault, which is burg
lar, fire, and water proof, constitutes a
distinct building in itself. The armed
watchmen who guard the building day
and night are under the strictest disci-
pline, their hourly movements being
recorded by an electric clock connect
ing with various points on each floor of
the structure, and there are also wires
running to police headquarters and the
office of the district telegraph. In one
corner of this great vault, behind heavy
iron bars, are the heavier iron doors of
the works containing the Vanderbilt Sc
curities, which can be opened only by
skeleton-keys held by the owner alone.
/ suppose that hundred men in this
building with Gatlng guns, could east
ly defend it against n mob of 100000
assaiants; it could be reduced by moth
ing less than the continued play of
heavy artillery. 1t may be year since
Vanderbilt, then "worth" 5000, 100000,
put the larger part of his possessions
in the vault. He could not, perhaps,
put more than $2O0,0O0,OO0 under
guard here at that time, but he has
added over $l2,O00000 to his fortune
within the year, though it has been
poor year. Thus rapidly does the stu
pendous volume of his unparalleled
pile enlarge. Nothing like such growth
of any mans wealth was ever before
known in the world. Every year, in
the nature of things, the growth in
creases, SO that the estimate of the best
informed men is that by the year 1890
he will be able to pile up not less than
| $500 600, 600 in his great iron vault be-
hind walls five feet thick. John SUN
