Immortality the dark as we'll as the light
side Of life in that fowery land, and his
hearers came readily to the conclusion that
there were as many advantages, rs much
money to be made, and as happy homes to
he found in the Old Dominion, as there are
in the much talked of and over advertised

choir both before and after the lecture, led
by Mr.. Ball. with Miss Annette Veitch rs
organist. Rev. DR.. Livingston, the pastor,
conducted the exercises.

Tomorrow has been set for the
presentation to Congress OF a new
and more elfectual anti-Chinese bill
by Congressman Morrow. This bill
has been carefully prepared by the
Messrs. Morrow and Henley, assisted
by the two Senators and the rest of
the Congressional delegation from
California. II has been specially de-
signed to meet the deficiencies of the
present measure. That il will en-
counter n great deal OF opposition
cannot be doubted. The Republican
members of both houses, outside of
those from the Pacific Coast, can be
relied upon to vote almost solidly
against it, and there will be, il the
past is any criterion, an almost
equally solid Democratic vote in its
favor.

THERE is certain propriety IN
everything, and politics and religion
ought moi TO be mixed up together.
We have been informed that on every

Sunday night there was found a small
placard - doubtless introduced by
some superserviceable Republican,
labeled "Vote for High License, Law
and Order" This was great fault
of taste, and would doubtless have
been reprobated by the eminent gem
tleman who is conducting the very
successful revival now in progress in
this city, ii he had known OF ii. lie

who circulated that scrap of paper
praetised the grossest moneyed cor
ruption Of the voter yesterday. our
esteemed and revered friends OF the
"God and Morality" " party, we are
grieved to say, yesterday paid for
votes out of hand and paid ex-Convicts
of the State Penitentiary for voting in
two wards. This fact involves two
corollaries. The first is the sending
10 San Quentin OF the wretches
bought; the second, the sending TO
San Quentin OF the wretchcs who
bought them. Put pin there, For
tunately, in several instances, the
facts have been secured. The first
part of the programme can he carried

latter. How moral il all is, Men and

THE people OF Los Angeles are
shortly TO enjoy n great treat in the
performances Of the Mexican Typical
Or ehestra. This is the great musical
organization that gave such exquisite
satisfaction by their performances in
the Main Hall Of the New Orleans Ex-
position. Their Instrumentation is Of
a superlatively high order. They
will give concert here and at San
Francisco and at some points in the
East prior TO their departure for Eu-
rope. The full force Of the company
will participate, and it will constitute
the greatest musical event ever re-
corded in Los Angeles. Even in San
Francisco nothing comparable TO this
combination has ever been seen, with
the possible exception OF the Theo-
dore Thomas Orchestra.

what our defective sewerage may

circumstance of the current winter az

TuE second intimation from Judge
Ross that he intended shortly to ten
der his resignation to the Governor
has led to the most flattering protests
against such action ever rendered to
young iurist. The press of Cali
fornia is almost unanimous in depre-
eating the Judges retirement from
the bench. Few men in such short
period have made such an enviable
reputation. The great mistake made
by the American people is in paying
their judges such miserable salaries.
In England they do not commit this
blunder. There they are sensible OF
the value OF the services in Judicial
stations OF capable and superior men.
One OF the most distinguished men
who ever sat upon the supreme
bench OF the United States, Judge
Curtis OF Massachusetts, was obliged
to resign his seat in that august body
because he could not support himself
upon the salary he received. Sur
rendering 5000 or 10000 year, he
easily made in his practice $4,000 a
year. Judge Ross can at any time
command a large and lucrative prao-
tice as a lawyer; and, in view OF that
fact, the remonstrances OF bench, bar
and press will probably fall upon un-
needing ears.

THE recent elections in England
have been very significant in one re-
spect. For time whereof the mem
ory Of man runneth not to the con-
trary II has been claimed that the
Irish have no capacity for representa-
tive government. The Kilkenny cats,
who fought until there was nothing
left but their tails, have been accept
ed as the exemplars OF the Irish race.
II will hardly he possible to maintain
this theory hereafter Mr.. Parnell
and his followers-all Irishmen-
have shown themselves to be parlia-
mentarians Of high order. No other
organization of which we have any
knowledge has been able to group
seven-eighths Of an entire people in
solid and compact party. The
thing is simply unprecedented, and
II is most auspicious omen for the
ultimate achievement Of Home Rule.

The city OF Los Angeles yesterday,
in formal poll Of all who cared TO
vote, proclaimed for the Democratic
party The majority was small, but
il was sufficient. II was not, in the
language OF Mercutio, as large AZ
barn door nor as deep as well; but
in view of the conspicuous lack OF in
terest in the contest shown by men
who have received, aud who expect
10 receive in the future, the honors Of
the party, II was measurably satisiac-
tory. The only vote which embraced
the entire city was that on the Board
OF Education, which was Democratic,
two Democrats to one Republican be-
ing returned TO that body. Owing TO
the fact that the Councilmanic ticket
was elected by wards, and that Demo-
cratic maiorities were wasted in u
single ward, the Republicans have
carried majority Of the Councilmen.
But the fact remains that II the new
members OF the Council had been
elected on ticket which embraced the
whole city the Democrats wauld proba-
bly, have elected them all, or at least
two-thirds OF them. The lesson IL
significant as showing that there has
been no striking revolution in our
local politics in the popular vote.
All that Is needed to assure the city
of Los Angeles in its old time allegi-
ance to the Democratic ticket is unity
and determination. One Democratic
Councilman was defeated by twenty
eight votes, and through the conve-
nient agency OF repeating. Another
was defeated becsuse some Demo-
c. ats preferred to vote for a Repubh-
can, But the situation is cheerful
and encouraging. On the ticket that
went the rounds of the city the
Democracy were victors just two to

intensely cold aud much suffering and
inconvenience resulted. Many families
went to bed to keep warm OF to their

coal for fuel. No food could be cooked,

abandoned the hotels aud the churches
