Old md New.

In this issue of the HERALD we give
the full text of the Mulligan letters,
both of those which have formed the
text of previous political disquisitions
and OF those which have been the
staple OF much recent discussion.
These letters missive present the Re
publican candidate in most pitiable
plight. There have been much
worse sinners than Jim Blaine,
Of Maine, and we think that the
much apotheosi2ed Garfield was
one of them; but the issue is, do the
American people desire to continue
in power the race of political jobbers
who have so long disgraced the cause
of democratic-republican govern
ment, In these letters every voter
is his own political ready reckoner.
Precisely in the degree in which con-
science has been developed in him
will be his answer to the question.
The silent vote this year will deter
mine the Presidential election. Judi
cious Democrats who are pious would
have prayed that stupid Democrats,
here and there, had not unnecessarily
complicated the situation. But the
time for prayer has passed and the
era of genuine work now reigns. Get
out the Democratic vote In that
sign lies victory ahead for us as
surely as il awaited Constantine and
his hosts centuries ago.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1884-10-28

To-day we issue an eight page edi-
ton of the Herald, much of whose
space is given up TO the questions of
the current campaign. While this
journal has always been staunch
party paper it recognizes its mission
as the representative newspaper OF
Southern California and il is, conse-
quently, not always dingdonging on
politics. As the antique and erudite
Solomon remarked, however, "there
is a time for everything" and the
time for crowding politics is upon MS
now. A special feature OF this issue
of the HERALD is made up of vignettes
OF the county nominees. To our OK
treme regret several OF these gentle
men fail to appear in this gallery,
This circumstance was entirely owing
to inability TO meet the absentccs
and have them sit for their photo
graphs. In thing of this kind it il Il
great deal like starting II railway train.
Time is of the essence OF the con-
tract in both matters. The bell
rings and the train starts off.
We have no hesitation in saying
that the current issue OF the HERALD
is the finest clectioneering sheet ever
issued in California, to say nothing of
Southern California Even our OK
cessive modesty cannot fairly debar
us from uplifting our journalistic
bazoo and blowing upon it most lust
lily. We have enabled the people of
Los Angeles, for one thing, to study
the charming lineaments of the thor
oughbred Democrats who have been
nominated for the local offices.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1884-10-28
A Little ssOff.v

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Los Angeles Times, OF Sunday, has
the following, in the charming edi-
torial notes which ought to acknowl-
edge devious authorship, reierable
to Kansas City and other journals OF
the trans-Rocky Mountain regions.
We quote
The HERALD has special which
says that Il procession OF negroes who
had been attending Republican
meeting at Washington, ID. c., passed
within few feet of the Democratic
meeting and acted in disorderly
manner, 80 much so that the Demo
Gratis had to suspend proceedings until
they had passed. The meeting APP
pointed committee to wait on prom
inent white Republican leaders and
inform them that they would be held
responsible for any repetition of the
outrage. An outrage OF this kind by
the negroes is something new, and we
do not believe it. The negroes at the
South are completely cowed, and ex-
ceedingly timid, for the whites abuse
them in the most shameful and brutal
manner. When the lamb attacks the
wolf, we will believe in negroes at
lacking Southern whites, and not till
then. The dispatch was sent for polit-
zeal effect, and will cause smile of
contempt for its authors.
Now the fact is that the HERALD is
in no whit responsible for this chron-
icling of the events OF the day. For
once the Associated Press gave an
oblique reflection of the events OF the
day, this time against the Republican
party. Our disgruntled contemporary
ought to have borne in mind the
fact that, for weeks past, the HER
AID, in common with other Dem
ocratic patrons OF the Associated
Press in the United States, has
been obliged to print Cooked"
dispatches in the Republican interest.
In the case in question the vigilance
of the Republican stipendiaries was
for the moment intermitted. They al
lowed the truth to go through for the
nonce. The message in question first
appeared in the Los Angeles Erening
Express. The manifold copy OF this
dispatch was also sent to the HERALD
office. The somnolent Geographic
editor OF the Times doubtless over
looked it, hence the stupidity upon
which we comment. The truth is
that the Los Angeles HERALD and
Times both receive the full volume of
the Associated Press dispatches.
That journal, in common with our
own, received this dispatch; and,
consequently, it really looks to Us as
if it don't know what it receives. The
Republican party, which claims not
only all the decency but all the intel
ligence OF the United States, would
do well TO insist upon having an in
telligent service from its journalistic
servitor in the Orange Grove City.
In this instance that service has
lamentably failed.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1884-10-28

Mr.. b. n. Rowe is the Santa Ana agen, OF
the HERALD.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1884-10-28

No efforts oil the Associated Press
or of Republican orators OF editors
can efface or deaden the fact that
character is the real issue in the pend
ing Presidential election. No one can
dispute the garish aplomb and mag
nificence Of Mr.. Blaine's campaign.
Splendidly equipped as an orator and
as a man Of the world, the Plumed
Knight rejoices in that audacity which
Mirabeau placed highest In the quail
iications Of leaders Of men. But the
people Of the United States cannot
afford to re-ailirn the belittling axiom
that nothing succeeds like success.
Self-preseryation, which is the first
laws Of nations ~ Of men, calls for Il
halt in the elevation 10 the first sta
tions in the nation Of clever but TN
scrupulous politicians. We avow
our belief that the time has come
when the American people will
arouse themselves from lethargy
which threatens the perpetuity OF
free American government, and
will enforce return to the older
and pupr traditions OF the Republic.
In the coming election the ears Of the
masses are attuned for the notes Of
that he'll political which shall ring in
the era Of better manners, purer
laws. The proAigate era Of the Re
public would close grandly by the de
feat of James q. Blaine. In the third
canto Of Don Juan Byron has drawn
a matchless picture in the person OF
the pirate Lambro. He might well,
in the lines,
As mild a hammered man
As ever scuttled ship or cut throat,
Have had in mind the Republican
candidate for President. The mag
netic man from the Pine Tree State
fills the bill to perfection; and, one
week from to-day, the American peo-
pie will consign TO the private station
the man who might not honor it but
who would most assuredly disgrace
the White House.

After great battles, violent rain storms
are of very general occurrence. This is

produced in the air by the violent eX-
plosions of cannon and musketry. The
detonations attract clouds, and at length
comes the grateful rain to dissipate the
smoke of the BATTLE soothe the agony of
the wounded and dying. Acting upon
this hint, inventors have been at work at
the task of making machines which
would break up seasons of draught.
Great fires and explosions of gunpowder
have been suggested, but the cost would
be too great for the small area benefited
by the shower that would follow. In
Australia, new rain producing machine

balloon which carries up into the air a
heavy charge of dynamite. At suf-
ficient distance above the earth the dy-
Mantle is exploded by an electric cur
rent that passes through the wire COM

will not be expensive, and should it sue
coed in breaking up droughts, the hui
man race will be vastly benefited. 1t
will be the first step enabling US to con-
troll the amount of moisture we get from
the heavens. Should we succeed in
Kidding any portion of our planet of dry
spells hurtful to vegetation, we would
soon find means of dissipating clouds
which were dispensing too much rain.

Celebrated Oaks.

Beside the celebrated major and
''Simon Foster" oaks in Lord Manver's
park at Thoresby, England, there is the
s'Shambles'' oak-a tree so named from
its hollow trunk having been made q
butchers shop, so to speak, in which
were hung up and dressed the sheep and
deer killed in the neighboring forest by
those who, in times past, set property
rights at defiance. This, when hale
green tree" must have been one of
enormous size; but one-half of it is now
gone--in short, it is mere shell, some
boys having set it on fire some four or
five years ago while burning a wasp's
nest in its center. Another remarkable
tree is the 'sParliament" oak-so named
because under its once spreading branches
king John, who had place not far of,
held parliament This is now q com
plete wreck, the few leafy branches OF
which its head consists being supported
by props These storm tossed veterans
of ancient Sherwood still cover hun

Tons and Tons or silver.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Ledger sayss Few per
sons, perhaps, have any conception of
the vastness of the silver now held by
the United States in the form of standard
oliver dollars. The fiscal affairs of the
government have been conducted on so
magnificent scale during and since the
war that the public have come to regard
the sum of fifty million or one hundred
million dollars as an ordinary matter of
governmental administration, and we are
so familiar with the more convenient
forms Of currency in our personal affairs
that we do not stop to contemplate the
bulk and weight of this steadily increas-
ing silver deposit winch finds Judgment
in the treasury. AS previously stated,
there is now held by the treasurer 1885,
100000 silver dollar pieces. This is
large sum of money in any form, but it
is only when reduced to pounds and tons
that an intelligent idea is obtained as to
its bulk and weight. The weight of the
silver dollars now held by the govern
ment is 0, 73S, 900 pounds, and this enor-
nous weight is being increased at the
rate Of 1,718,64 pounds per annum.
The vast quantity of silver which is
troubling treasury officials to properly
take care of represents over 1869 tons of
1000 pounds EACH and if placed in the
ordinary carts used for transporting coal
in large cities, would make a'procession
fourteen miles long, assigning one ton to
each cart and allowing fifteen feet of
space for the movement of each vehicle.
When, in addition to this, it is stated
that the treasury is receiving each month
seventy-one cart loads of silver discs,
and that $50 tons are being annually
added to the stock of silver on hand, the
bulk and weight, as well as the force
and effect of the silver act of 1873 will
be better understood and appreciated.
The above figures do not include the
silver bullion and fractional silver coins
held by the treasury. OF the latter there
is now on hand $50, 900, 900, and of the
former 81, 900, 900, the aggregate weight
of which is !, 217 tons, thus making the
total weight of silver now in the treas
ury 6, 0S6 TONS"
