The thirst for spoils is, perhaps, the
fiercest and most unscrupulous pas
sion that can animate a man or a
party of men. The Republican party,
in the long lease of power it obtained,
grew utterly lawless and boldly ag-
gressive in the use OF whatever means
might be employed to perpetuate its
powar and secure acontinued division
of ill-gotten gains. The blind pratisan-
ship OF the Republican party is no less
dangerous to the peace and prosperity
of the Republic than is its adherence
to and support of moneyed plutoc-
racy which would transform our
"Oceana" into a "Manoa" where
every day the rich would grow richer
and the poor poorer. Yet with these
and other enormities the Republican
party grows arrogant day by day.
Now that the Presidential campaign
has opened in earnest, its first tactic
is the unstinted abuse of the Demo
cratic party. This the Party of the
People can stand without whim-
pering, but it closes its nos
trils to revival of the old
war issues and the Haunting of the
CORY garment which the Party OF the
Plutocrats resorts to on all occas-
ions. The Republican clubs which
recently met at Topeka, Kansas,
did far more than this. The re-
cent brutal attack in the Senate, by
the Jayhawker of the Sun-fower
state, upon the fair frame of the dead
heroes-honered in life and beloved in
memory,-and his coarse insult to
the Chief Executive of the Nation,
were embossed by the large and in
fuential body OF Republicans con-
gregated. Even on the Pacific Coast,
where broader views prevail than in
the JayhaWker State, the prehensll tail
of the Republican party is adorned
with vermilion and is quite as active in
its attacks, as it's venomed head in
the far off East. In the platform
adopted at the Republican convention
in Oregon yesterday the President was
assailed without rhyme or reason
and the ensanguined garment and the
dead issues of the war, paraded in
a covert and unjust resolution, "de-
nouncing Cleveland's action in re
turning the rebel flags" The Dem
ocratic party will not use such small
and INSCRIPTIONS means of contest in
or out of the campaign.

THE Thermometer in this city yes
terday reached 81 degrees Fahrenheit.
There has been but ole other day in
any April for ten years past when the
temperature went above 80 degrees.
The full ord forsten years of al,
days where the thermometer regis
tered above so degrees, is as follows
In January or February, none; in
March, once in 1879; in Apiil, once in
1881 in May, twice in 1879, once in
in 1880, three times in 1888, and twice
in 1887; in June, three times in 1879,
six times in 1883, twice in 1884, once
in 1885, and four times in 1886; in
July, five til es in 1881, three times
in 1882, Ave times in 1884, seven times
in 1885, nine times in 1886, and three
times in 1887; in August, twice in
1879. four times in 1881, five times in
1882. eight times in 1888, seven times
in 1884, eleven times in 1885, and thir-
teen times in 1886; in September,
four times in 1878 and again in 1879,
once iE 1880, seven times in 1881,
twice in 1882, ten times in 1888, once
in 1884, five times in 1885, once in
1886, and twice in 1887; in October,
once in 1878, six times in 1879, twice
in 1885, and five times in 1887; in
November and December, never. The
totals for the ten years from 1873 to
1887, both inclusive, were: 5, IS, 9
II, 10, 27, Is, 26, 27, IL. The grand
total for ten years is 159 days, or ar
average of nearly 16 days to the year.
1t appears that September is oul
hottest month, August next in rank,
and July third. In the ten years
1888, 1885 and 1855 acquired bad
eminence for hot weather. In 1888,
May, June, August and September
were the cratic months. In 1885 and
1886 the sultry spells were all concen-
trated into July and August, The re
is this to remember-our dry atmos-
phere makes it much easier to endure
the heat. An allowance of at least len
degrees in our favor must be made
for this.

THE statesmen from Prince Edward
Island do not like the new Fisheries
Treaty. Outside OF the Government
faction in Canada the notion is uni
versal that Mr.. Chamberlain did
what the people in the Dominion
along the fishing grounds charge
he did-secure peaceful relations be-
tween the Mother Country and the
United States by yielding all the
claims and rights of the Colony. In
England the Administration does not
claim more for the convention
than that it is fair agreement, and
that it secures peace between the
two Nations. But the thick-and-thin
Republican paper or politician sees
nothing but humiliation to US in the
treaty. Party politics is to this sort
far more than National peace or Ma
tional honor. That is the mistake Of
said press and politicians. They
think the party more than the coun-
try. The American people think
otherwise. Hence the fall of the Re-
publican party.

loads of oranges have been shipped
from there this season. The packers
are now loading Two or three cars,
and the campaign, when it is over
and the dead and wounded counted
will show that at least a round hundred
carloads Of the golden apples of the
Hesperides have been sent away from

The people will insist that provision
shall be made, in any charter they
vote for, to enable the city to secure
the plant of the water works at the
expiration Of the contract Of the COM

the people is function that properly
belongs to all cities. The waters OF

Look out for the Cars,

The presence of mind Of workman
on Alameda street yesterday morning
prevented an accident that might
have been attended with loss of life.
As the San Pedro train was pulling
up to the Commercial street depot a
horse and wagon in charge OF a boy
Of certainly not more than 10 years
came down one of the side sire cts.
The horse became alarmed at the
putting of the engine and the juvenile
driver lost all con,r.l of him, finally
dropping the reins, when the affright-
ed animal, fe ling that he had got his
head, increased his speed. A workman
passing along the street saw the rum
awag coming, and succeeded iu turn.

finally occurring it. Those placing
wagons and buggies in charge OF chill
dren should warn them of the great
danger there is in approaching the
railroad tracks while trains are switch

CALIFORNIA has no natural pastures

CALIFORNIA has no natural pastures
When shall we hear the end of this
misstatement? The Los Coyotes
ranch, lying along the railroad be-
tween Norwalk and Anaheirn, has
never been considered choice soil, as
such matters are reckoned in this
section. There is more or less alkali
in the soil, p1rtions OF it are low and
heavy. Yet, even this to-day is cov-
cred with half dozen sorts OF natural
grasses as thick as the wool on the
sleeps backs that feed on these
plains. Sohigh are these lush grasses
that'the backs Of the sheep are barely
discernable in many places. Even
COWS and horses stand halt concealed
in the tall clover, alflerilla, foxtail
and other grasses which cover these
broad plains for miles in all direc-
tions.

our duty on nickel. Now, this is from
a speech made before dis
tinctly Protectionist club. But
the members wish to see the tariff
reformed in just such various in
stances as these which are strang-

Mr.. EVERETT 2. WHEELER some
time since made speech before the
Boston Tariff League and Home Mar
ket Club. He spoke in debate, and
showed that bark built in Nova
Scotia and run down off a
New England port, was towed
into harbor and repaired. 1t cost
more for the repairs than the
original cost of the vessel had been
in Nova Scotia. He sought an ex-
planation Of this anomalous fact, and
found it in the fact that everything
used in the work was protected to the
tune of duty OF thirty. forty, fifty and
even one hundred per cent. "Then,"
said Mr. Wheeler, 81 knew why the
industry OF ship-building in New Eng
land had fallen into decay which had
been in most fourishing condition
when l was younger. / enquired the
wages paid in New England and COM
pared them with what was paid in Nova
Scotia, and found but little difference.
about enough to Offset the superior
working talent of the average Amer
ican." Mr.. Whee Ter then took up the
Meriden Plated Ware Company. This
enterprise uses much nickel. There
is one good nickel mine in the Union,
it is in New Jersey, it belongs to
a Mr.. Wharton, of Pennsylvania
The tariff on nickel puts in Mr..
Wharton's pocket 500, 600 per annum.
And now let the owllike lisper OF a
senseless shibboleth on Free Trade
rise in his place and remark - but for
this tax the Meriden company could
not run. By the tax work is supplied
to the wage-winners in the big factory
at Meriden. Is it SO, my learned owl !?
Is that your shibbolethic wisdom,
my solemn hoo.er at the pale-faced
moon? Learn. then, that the Meri-
den Company, thus handicapped by
this tax on raw material, which all
goes to benefit Mr.. Wharton OF Penn
sylvania, has been forced to 90 over
into Canada, and there erect another
factory, in order that they may get
nickel duty free, from which they

Is IT not time that the Council
should set Che date for the election to
determine the fate Of the newly
framed charter? 1t is not necessary
to wait for the thirty days from the

Annie Pixley, who is announced to
appear at the Grand next week, sang
in comic opera for several years. She
was the original Josephine" in
Pinafore when the opera WAS brought
out in Philadelphia. She visited
Australia and won fame and fortune
appearing in comedy and comic opera
on alternate nights. The Deacon s
Daughter. the latest success
af.er Miss, is something of the
story OF her own life. She was born
and passed her girlhood days in
Brooklyn, her parents being people of
strict church principles, who even re.
garded their daughters choir singing
with some despair. "Too much pub:
lie exhibition for modest young
woman" But The "stage" was born
in Miss Annie, aud while still in her
teens managed TO join a travelling
company, and her career from then
until nov has been full of adventure,

AMUSEM ENTS,
Miss Kate Fisid's lecture on the
Mormon alOnstrOsity.


Miss Knse Efsid,s lecture ON the
Mormon StOnstrOsity.
Miss Kate Fie DIS lecture on Nor
monism at the Opera House last
night was a very able exposition OF
the condition of affairs in Utah. She
drew forcible pictures of the moral
degradation caused by the practice of
polygamy, and outcried against the
admission of Utah into Statehood
under its present corrupt legis alton.
She said that apart from the objec-
lions to the religious princi pies
of the Mormons the oaths
taken by them in their endowment
houses foreclosed any prospect OF
their making good citizens, inasmuch
as allegiance to the United States was
made subservient to the DEGREES OF
the Mormon priesthood. The speaker
alluded to the Brigham Young ad-
ministration as one of the foul blots
on the nations history, and said that
instead Of its effects having been re-
moved, it was, ON the contrary,
spreading to all parts of the Union.
She cited many statistics corrohorative
of her statements, and closed her re-
m rps q, after speech OF an hour and
a half, with her opinions of what
should be done in the way OF reform.
"hemoye the temporal power of the
Mormon Church." she said, "and
close their endowment houses where
the oaths of treason are taken-those
are 'he conditions which should be
enforced ere Utah is admitted into
the fold of the Union"
The lecture was given under the
auspices of the John A. Logan Post,
q. A. R., and General Miles acted as
president Of the evening.

REPUBLICAN journals both East an

REPUBLICAN journals DOtn EasI anu
West, and the politician of that ilk,
are opposed to the new Chinese treaty.
Mr.. Swift, who always claimed the
honor of being the chief actor in
framing the old convention between
our country and the great Asiatic
Empire, was among the first OF the
thick and-thin, purblind political
kind to rush into print with long,
tedious and philosophic exposition OF
why the new treaty would not and
could not work. Modesty would have
suggested that Mr.. Swift in these
premises should have initiated
Katisha, and on this subject
been dumb. His own treaty has been
dismal failure. Anything would
seem to promise better than it. But
he is only one of many swift witnesses
against the proposed convention OF
exclusion against the Chinese. Why?
Not because they think the treaty is
not better than that negotiated by Mr..
Swift; but because they know their
party can not uphold any measure
which seeks any honest exclusion OF
the Mongols. The Eastern Republi-
can is, q Chinophile of the most pro-
nounced type. The New England
ministers, who the other day bore
honest testimony to their convictions,
and raised their voice for the free ad-
mission of the .little brown men,"
were nearly all Republicans. So are
the members of their congregations.
The Republican Congressman who
comes from any Slate east OF the
Rockies does not want to 60 on record
rs voting for any law really restricting
the entrance of Chinese on our shores.
At the same time, they dare not vote
against such law lest that action
1h ould lose the Pacific coast to the G.
o. p. What then? Why, make out that
the Bayard treaty will not exclude the
Chinese, and oppose it on that ground
for the sake of Pacific Coast senti-
ment. Then they can 60 home to
their Eastern constituency and tell
their people sub rosa that they "play.
cd it on" the Anti-Chinese people.
Republicans are on the Chinese ques-
tion, as on all others of National in
terest-in hopeless muddle, and like
the giver eff aims, dare not let their
left hand know what their
right hand is doing. The war
memories is the only point, of
real agreemement left them, and,
therefore. this is the only thing on
which they dare to be outspoken. In
gals came nearer expressing the most
earnest sentiments of his party than
any other who has spoken yet. 1t
will be difficult for the next man who
yets 'sthe floor" to be more emphatic.
