Gen. John G. Black was not nomi-
mated for vice-president, and very few
people expected that he would be. Gen
eral Black is not a fortunate politician.
The frequency with which General
Black has been candidate for office
during the last twenty-five years is only
less remarkable than the regularity with
which he has been knocked out. He
made Il good war record and has many
friends, but is somewhat too much of
the bantam style OF man to get on well
in politics. In this last respect, how
ever, he is not dissimilar to number of
other prominent Democrats.

The statement going the rounds Of tn
newspapers that Representative Ander-
son, Of Iowa, who made a speech in
the house last week in favor of the Mills
bill, is a Republican is not true. He was
elected as an alleged Independent, by
Democratic votes, over the regular Re
publican nominee. He is as much in
dread of Growers little whip as the most
subservient Democrat. 1t is now in
order for the New York World and the
Philadelphia Times to correct this state
ment. The World makes the statement
incidentally, but the Times is unfair or
unreliable enough to follow it up with a
comment upon the action of Anderson,
as desertion of the Republican party.
Such reckless statements will not help
the party that resorts to them. 1t looks
TO us very much like a case of drown
ing man grabbing at a straw. A little
consolation goes a long way with per-
turbed Democrats.

Reports from Oregon indicate that Mr.
st. John, formerly of Kansas, has be-
gun early to undo the mischief he has
been credited with doing in 1884 by
causing the defeat of the Republican
party-which we are not prepared to
concede. 1t is claimed that he brought
about the defeat of the Democrats in
Oregon. but in the absence of a bill of
particulars of the modus operandi, we
fail to see where his influence comes in
to effect such result. The idea of a
prohibition drawing Democrats from
their party allegiance and support is too
ridiculous to even tell TO the marines.

Northern Mexico has been experience
ing seismic disturbances of late. The
country around Bavispe and Sonora,
which was so fearfully devastated by
earthquakes last year, has for the past
wo weeks again shown decided symp-
toms of renewed disturbances in the
little town of Bavispe itself, where many
of the old inhabitants had commenced
menced to rebuild their destroyed dwell
ings. All further work has been stopped
and the people, have again taken to the
brush huts on the Mesa. The worst
manifestations of the volcanic force
have taken place about fifteen or twenty
miles of Bavispe, where, in some places,
the Typographical features of the coun-
try have again been completely changed.
The latest Democratic excuse for the
defeat of that party i'll Oregon Is that
the railroad corporations purchased the
success Of the Republican, paying there
for two hundred thousand dollars
would have spent million to get con-
troll Of the legislature. The Democratic
deponent saith that the two senators
from that state are the paid attorneys of
the railroads, but it is little difficult to
harmouize the declaration with the atti-
tude Of the Oregon senators towards the
Pacific roads in the contest between the
roads and the government over the
claims of the latter. The explanation of
the Oregonian. is that the issue was clear
ly defined to be that of protection of home
labor as against free imports. With
such an issue the result could not have
been other than it was.

Record Your Building Contracts.


EDITORS HERALD: Those about con-
tracing to build house should see to it
that the County Recorder gets dollar
each out of them, for recording their con-
tracts, or it will be void contract, in
spite of the new constitution wide article
!, sec. 49, and if he does not pay his
material men and mechanics, which he
will not do if he is not an honest contrac-
tor, and Los Angeles is full OF dishonest
ones, and you may have chance TO pay
double or TRIBE what you have contract
ed for or lose your house and lot in the
bargain.
A case in point Alfred Moore con-
tracted with contractor to build him
house for 81 500, which he paid him,
besides $S5 for extras. The contract was
not endorsed; the contractor took his
money and gave receipts therefor, but
told the material men he could not get
any money from Moore, and advised
them to put liens upon the premises,
which some of them did; for instance,
Perry Mott & Co., for lumber,
Brown & Foster, hardware, and
a man named Wilson, for
painting. Now this contractor,
protecting himself under the lien law,
pockets More's money and sets the lien
men and decency and honesty at def
ance.
think it the duty of all good citizens
to show this man at every turn, that they
do not approve of such conduct, and
would rather err on the side of honesty,
than give a shadow of approval and sup.
port to such characters.
The lien law is bad law Gas we'll as
an unconstitutional one), inasmuch as it
gives chance to dishonest contractors
and material men to join hands and take
advantage of the simple home builder,
and some of them do do it. Am.

is in effect as follows: Friedrichskron
Palace at Potsdam, where the Dowager
Empress Victoria is living, is in all but
the name prison, and the ex-Empress
is virtually under arrest. In any case
she is receiving scant consideration from
the men now in power. The presumed
object is to bring influence to bear upon
Her Majesty. which will induce her to
surrender her husbands papers. But it
is semi-officially stated that the Berlin
correspondence regarding the treatment
of the ex-Empress Victoria which the
Pail Mall Gazette published to-day, is en-
tirely without foundation.

sion to use his level, which is a fine in
strument of the Stanley Rule and Level
Company make. He informs me that he
paid $2.5 so for it in Melbourne, and that
a similar one cannot be got here for less

can buy "Henry Disston" saw, Of fine
make (26 inches) for $3.50, which cannot
be bought for less than 50 back East in

duty on those goods. Now what want
is for Mr.. Tribune (who has the bull by
the horns) to arise and explain why
those American goods can be shipped to
Australia and duty paid and sold cheaper
there than they are in the United States.
Is it because those manufacturers think
one good turn deserves another, and
they charge the American mechanic a
good price because his labor is protected,

Brooks Must Atone For His Crime
ON the GallOWs.

ST.. LOUIS, July 12.-The Governor this
morning rendered his decision, in which
he declines to grant Communication oi
the sentence against Brooks, alias Max
we'll, but granted respite for four weeks.
The first news Brooks received this morn.
ing was that the Governor had simply
granted him a respite for twenty-one
days. This he construed to mean that
the Governor intended to take time fully
to examine his case. Later Brooks re-
ceived a telegram from his attorney an
nouncing respite of four weeks, and
stating that the Governor refused, abso.
lutely, to commute his sentence or inter
fere in the matter. This was sad blow
to Brooks hopes, and he said he could
not understand it. He had felt conf
dent the Governor would see his way
clear and grant his appeal for commuta-
tion, but now all hope was gone and he
must now prepare for death.
