Hon. Thos. c. McRae.

We are creditablv informed that Hon. Thos. C. McRac will certainly | be candidate for reelection to con gress from this district. and we are glad of it. for he has made a most excellent representative. Although elected as the democratic nominee, he has been the representative of the people. and greenhackers. wheelers, democrats and republicans can all vote for his reelection with the great est consistency. He has guarded all their interests in congress, and it will be hard matter to convinc" the pco- pie of this district to, the contrary. We have closely watched his con grcssional career, and so well are we satisfied with his faithful work. we intend to give him our earnest and cordial support and would be glad to see him reelected without opposition -Texarkana Independent
 The talk about Tom McRac being beaten for congress is mere bosh. There is not man in the district who would perambulate faster than duck in a race with him. -Arkadel- phia News.

Exception Not Well Taken,

EDITOR HERALD: I was shocked
on reading in the HERALD of this
morning a reference to the new hotel
under the name of "The Splendid. "
In the name Of all that is worth say
ing in the English language let us
pray that the city may be spared the
infiiction and affiicticn of having its
best and largest hotel belittled by Civ
ing it as name the adjective which
girls apply to their beaux, their chew
ing gum, their pet poodles, the last
ball, Rev DR.. Softly's sermon, their
caramels and all such. If it must be
that this offense comes, then go the
entire animal and prefix the word
perfectly" pronounced puffeckly),
and let the house be known to all the
world as '"The Perfectly Splendid" I"
If we must have one of the girls ad-
jectives, a better, because worse, one
would be the Exquisite, with linger-
ing, forceful accent on the second
syllable. GRowLER.
"Growler" is hypercritical. "Hote-
Splendid" is an appropriate and strikl
ing name. Besides, 1t is not hack
neyed. We have had "Grands," /"
Palaces" "Tremonts, "Windsors, u
ct id, ad nauseam. What if the girls
do call their beaux and chewing-gum
"Splendid?" The vocabulary of girls
is not very extensive nor very accu-
rate, as the illustrations of 'sGrowler''
de monstrates. They gush in one key
but they are natural, and that is a
reason for adopting the appellation-
it naturally applies to the magnificent
cara yansary our enterprising fellow
citizens are erecting on Main and
Tenth. Without baptizing it at all
everybody will naturally call il
Splendid" The name has already
fastened to it; it is a good one, and il
will be likely to stick.

whom only in partial bearing, this
vineyard yielded 1000 tons of grapes,
in 1885, 3412 tons; in 1887, 5000 tons;
while this year it is expected to reach
IL, 600 tons. The yield of last year
equalled $50, 900 gallons of wine and
13O, 900 gallons Of brandy. In all proba-
ability the vintage Of this vineyard will
amount to over million gallons OF
wine and two hundred thousand gal
Ions Of brandy, which, estimated on a
low valuation, will be worth over a
half million dollars. Los Angeles
county is peculiarly favored asa wine-
growing section OF the State for both
dry and fortified wines-in fact, the
fortified wines produced in this county
have an exceptionally high standing
in the markets of the United States.
Being the first county in the State to
inaugurate the wine industry, it has
not been allowed to lag. From the
rate of progress that has been made in
the past, it is not indulging too much
the imagination to anticipate the
time when Los Angeles county will be
foremost among the wine producing
districts OF the world, and that time is
not far distant.

our contemporaries kindly came tc

1t may be said, in passing, that it is

THERE is queer theory in the
mind of some in regard to Anschlag's e
possible insanity. His deed is char
acterized by an enormity Of moral
turpitude. His callous, heartless,
hardened manner, before the crime,
in committing the crime and since
that terrible event are unparalleled.
There is an impression in some quar-
ters that this lack OF moral compunc-
ton is insanity. But insanity is oi
the mind, not Of the emotional, OF
moral side of our being.
The whole question of sanity
in crime should be reduced to
a very simple one. 1t is legal ques-
ton, and not a moral or emotional
one. If man mentally grasps a
clear conception Of the proposition
that given act is contrary to the law
that there is legal penalty for the
violation of the law, and that he will
be held responsible for such violation
OF the law, and pay the prescribed
penalty if found guilty-then he is
sane.
