pOrtauce. Let us run with patience
the race that is set before us, says
the sacred writer. A great many
men lose the prize by dropping out
of the text altogether the clause
which we have put in italics.
Every man must find his own race
before he begins to run and a
great many spend their strength in
trying to find some one else's race,
and a great many IN making false
starts in u race after another,
aud SO getting nOwhere.-The jack
of all trades is generally master of
nOne. The world is foil of square
men in round holes, and round men
in square holes, and though it is
true that a man a white himself
of a little to fit the place he is in,
the energy SO spent cannot be used
in legitimate work. My watch
does me no service while it is iH
the repairer's hands. Blessed is
the boy that has a bent; wise the
parent or teacher that eau either
iud one in him or give one to him.
God has a work for every man that
no other man can do quite as well
and he succeeds best who quickest
finds what that work is aud sets
himself to do it. Many a good wri-
ter has been spoiled to make an
insolvert merchant; not a few good
housekeepers to make execrable
poets; o aud then an excellent
mechanic to make a very poor
preacher. A race has been set
before me; aud my duty is TO ind
out what that race is, and run it,
and not waste life in regrets that l
cannot run a different one, or life's
energies ia unsuccessful attempts
to do so.

Joseph D. LYNCH & CO.. PRorRIEroRs.
DELIVERED BY CARRIERS AT
FIFTEEN CENTS PER WEEh'
rbe City ELECTION.

The municipal elections passed of
v yesterday quietly and in the best OF
order. The vote was a pretty full
one where only local issues were at
stake. The falling off from the vote
G asst month ago was mostly in the
r Republican precincts, where the
mugwumps remained at home, owing
to dissatisfaction with the ticket.
At this writing the vote is not en-
tirely counted, but enough is known
to indicate that the Democrats
have elected the Mayo by a hand
some majority, the City Treasurer
and Tax Collector by fair majorities
and the Councilman from the First
ward, the two from the Second, and
and Hyans from the Fourth. This is
Just one-half the ticket municipality.
The Republicans will still have ma
jority in the Council, but there will
be q ute q handsome bit of leaven to
materially affect the lump.
The Republicans seem to have
e lected the one member OF the
Board of Education, the City At
torney, the Councilmen from the
Third ward, one from the Fourth
Lovell), and the one from the
Fifth

The President,s Message.

The greater portion OF the HERALD
columns to-day is devoted to the
Presidents annual message to Con-
gress. This important document is
furnished in full by the splendid tele-
graphic service which this journal
,cnioys, and it is given verbatim as it
comes to tis.
1t would be premature to dwell at
any length on this paper at this time,
Our readers will carefully peruse it
to-day, and then will be better pre-
pa red to consider its tenor and inn
port.
1t will be seen to dwell with
great particularly ON all phases
of national interest. Nothing
of moment escapes review. 1t is
a luminous document on public
affairs, full of sound wisdom put in a
plain, common sense manner. The
comments on the national finances,
on pensions and foreign relations will
be read with great interest. With
still more carefulness will be read
what our chief magistrate has to say
on the relations OF capital and labor,
on the public lands, and coinage. In
fact every paragraph OF the document
will command attention.

One OF the most disappointing
features of yesterdays election is the
defeat of Hon. Moye Wicks for City
Attorney. His friends were found
not only in the ranks of his own
party, but were numerous in the best
classes of the Republicans. He had
the hardest fight of all the Demo
cratic nominees, being opposed by
the strongest man on the other ticket.
Notwithstanding it all, the majority
against Mr.. Wicks is small and he
would undoubtedly have been elected
had the bereavement in his family
not prevented his attending to his
interests yesterday. The vote for
him shows the high esteem in which
he is held in this community.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-12-07

A GRATIFYING result OF the election
yesterday is the retiring of Mr.. Oscar
Macy to the ranks of private life.
This is said simply in view of the
fact that it is by that gentleman's lack
of appreciation of right and fair play
that the precincts in the Second ward
were SO gerrymandered as to exclude
voters from the exercise OF their
franchises. The Board of Supervis-
ors was appealed to for relief in this
matter, and deaf ear was turned to
the just pleR. There are few offenses
m ore serious than the debarring OF
the citizen from this precious privi-
lege. 1t is but proper rebuke to the
partizan feeling which was allowed
to override all sense of right.
Later returns indicate the most
gratifying result of the election of w.
r. Stephenson. This gives the De-
mocracy eight out of the fourteen
candidates. most pleasing result
in a city claimed by the Republicans
by SO large majority.

Clerk Ward, was searching in the sx.
treme. especially by the defense, who
asked each and every man whether he
belonged to any secret society CIR labor
association. The great test on the part
of the prosecution was whether the jur
ors had any Conscientious feelings in re-
gard to the death penalty. There were
not above three dozen persons in the
Court room, besides the witnesses. At
3:l5 only eight jurors had been secured
out of the regular panel. The Court
then ordered special venire of thirty
to issue, returnable this morning at $3.50
o'clock, when the trial will be proceeded
with. In view of the pSobable length
of the Kilgore trial, the term trial jurors
not engaged in it were excused for three
