hC HUI
Never was seen such a rush as has
followed the announcement that the IL
Illustrated HERALD for 1883 was at
hand. They sold like hot cakes among
q famished crowd. The small boys
whose mellifuous cries made the public
aware that these goods were on sale on
the streets called scores together to dis
pute for the possession OF a copy of this
superbly embellished statement of the
resources and attractions of this section.
These lucky little fellows have been
making as high as $3.50 and $500
per day profits on their sales.
And these results followed about
two hours effort in the morning.
By noon of each day the invoices have
been exhausted and halt has had to be
called until new supply should arrive.
Already thousands OF this publication are
speeding along to all quarters Of the
globe to enlighten far away people con-
corning the wealth and beauty OF Los
Angeles. At the moment this office is
bare of the ILLUSTRATED HERALD, but
urgent orders have gone on for a new
supply. When this arrives the hungry
public will be duly apprised.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Times. asked us for an explanation of the
the word "batherskin," and we accom-
modated it. 1t is not satisfied with our
explanation, and thus places itself in the
same position once occupied by an in
terlocutor of the celebrated Samuel
Johnson. On certain memorable oc-
casion the great photographer tried to
explain doubtful point, and he found
that his explanation was not being re-
ceived as readily as he supposed it's lu-
cidity warranted, and he therefore re-
marked, in his usual sententious way,
"Sir, have given you a reason; l am
not obliged to furnish you with an un-
derstanding." We think we are warrant
ed in following such an illustrious
example. The Times has not chosen
to initiate the example of DR.. Horace
Greeley who, once upon time, asked,
in the columns of the New York Tribune.
for some California journal to give him
an explanation of the local phrase
"hoodlum." The San Francisco Chroni-
Gle promptly replied that hoodlum was
q "larrikin," which was the Australian
equivalent for hoodlum. The Doctor
looked the phrase over carefully, asked
no more questions and thanked his

So GENERAL SHERIDAN is gone, despite
the outgivings OF the doctors, including
Doctor Peppers, which reached us only
twenty-four hours before the death of
his patient. Sheridan has made gal
liant ride to defeat the enemy who rides
the white horse, but no mortal can win
in the contest against him. So died Gar
field, from Guiteaus bullet after being
taken to the sea. So died Grant from
his disease in spite OF the pure, mountain
air. So died the German Emperor from
similar disease in spite of all
changes of atmosphere. The pbysi-
clans in all these cases paltered
with the world in a double sense. All
that skill could do was done to rescue
this distinguished man from the jaws
of the tomb. All in vain. The result
proves how we'll the Latin poet Horace
knew when he wrote:
With equal pace remorseless fate
Knocks at the palace and the cottage gate.
The hero of Winchester and the here
of Appomatox, the chosen ruler of the
Repub bic, and the heir to the ancient
crown of Prussia and of the newer glories
of the diadem of Germany die in spite o.
doctors as die the commonest of men
The moral is that General Sheridan
was doomed when he first took to his
bed, and much that has been done by
medical skill has been but refined cruel
| ty. AS in the case Of General Grant the
gratitude of great nation as expressed
in the elevation of the dying hero to the
rank of General did more to recall the
ebbing pulses of life than all the skill o.
science. Long ago Gray wrote in his ia
nous elegy:
Can honors voice provoke the silent dust,
| Or flattery o1the the cold. dull car of death?
In the light of the marked rally made by
the vital forces of Grant and Sheridan,
one is compelled to reflect, that they
have come nearer working this miracle
than any other known cause.

MIR. NHOrtOu,s ImpOrtatfons.

One of the finest sensations to which
the American people have ever been
treated has just been developed in New
York, being nothing less than the threat
ened arrest of Levi p Morton, Republi-
can nominee for Weep President, on a
charge OF importing contract labor from
England. Last year when Mr.. Morton
was in Europe, he teleg-aphed from
some point on the continent to London
to famous florist to engage him two
gardeners for his country seat, near New
York. The request was complied
with. and when Mr.. Morton
arrived in London he met
his gardeners, and after they had signed
a contract agreeing to work for him for
two years at specified sum per month,
he advanced them their passage money
and sent them to::New York. When they
arrived on this side, they found that they
had made bad bargain for themselves,
as the rate OF wages they had agreed to
work Tor was only about half that paid
to competent gardeners here. When Mr..
Morton returned some weeks later thev
complained OF the injuttice they had been
subjected to through their ignorance. of
the true condition of things, and asked for
better contract. Mr.. Morton refused this
and:informed them that they must stick
to the contract. The youngest of the
two became angry and threatened to
leave, and did so finally in defiance of
Mr.. Morton, who informed him that he
would not only have him arrested for
violating his contract, but would have
him boycotted by all his rich friends who
owned gardens and employed gardeners.
Mr.. Morton did have the man boycotted
but he took very good pains not to have
him arrested for breach of contract, as
Mr.. Morton was better aware of the re-
suits of such proceedings than the poor
English gardener was. This is the story
told by the New York Euening World.
whose reporters have been working
up the case for several davs.
1t seems that Mr.. Morton, 20
violation of the law against contract
labor did not cease with the importation
Of the two gardeners, as all of his ser
wants were obtained in the same way.
During the months Of May and June,
the World says, two grooms for the sta
bles, two footmen and six female SER
wants were sent over from England bv
MIR. Morton under contracts varying from
one to two years. All these, too, found
that the wages they had contracted for
were below the average in this country.
When approached by World reporter
to get his side of the story, Mr.. Morton
refused to say one word about it,
but appeared to regard the matter
as very serious. The World
has sifted the matter thoroughly.
gives names, dates, etc., and it's story
shows that it has real foundation. and is
not merely sensational cam paign lie.
Since the conviction of the Trinity
Church people for importing a contract
preacher it is but faii to presume that
Mr.: Morton's position will not save him.
and that the Democratic officials of New
York will take particular pains to have
this champion Of labor shown up in his
true colors. 1t would take more bar'ls
than Morton and his friends possess to
make the Democrats forego the pleasure
of exposing -IGalveston News.

ELSEWHERE in the columns of the
HERALD appears an interview had by the
Hon. Walter Van Dyke, one OF the Re-
publican candidates for Superior Judge
of Los Angeles county, and the editor of
the Observer, an organ of the colored peo
pie of Los Angeles. The snug way in
which Mr.. Van Dyke set about appropri-
ating the colored man and brother, is
only equaled by the deft manner in which
the colored editor declined to be so ap-
propriated. The incident will go down to
posterity as one of the interesting features
of our local contest. The colored man, in
view OF the whole record OF the Republi-
can party, may well be excused for ex-
claiming in the language Of one Of Shaks-
peare's characters, "rich gifts wax poor
whom the giver proves unkind."

The Campaign Opens.

Hon. Walter Van Dyke, one of the
gentlemen nominated for the Office OF
Superior Judge, met the editor and man.
ager of the Observer on Spring street, a
few hours after he had received the
nomination, and cordially shook us by
the hand. 1t was the first time he had
ever performed with such graceful affec-
ton the complaisant ceremony, although
he has passed us on the streets three
times day for over year. The cordial
greeting of this aspirant for judicial hon
ors dwindled into utter insignifcance
ran in this shape:
Il suppose you boys are we'll organized, 4,
and will stand by your ,triends." We
answered "Oh, yes" "That's right, Z"
said brother Van Dyke, with smile on
his phiz; "the party has done great
deal for your race l have been an abo-
litionist all my life, and have always took
an interest in you people," We thanked
him both for the sacrifice he had made
for the Negro race, and the information
he had given us, and retired to the
secrecy of our sanctum to soliloquize
over the internal hypocrisy of office
seekers in general, and Hon. Walter Van
Dyke in particular.
The above is from the Observer, a
journal recently established at Los An
geles to represent the colored people of
this section. All those connected with
the paper are of African extraction. The
Republican party claims that it has a
first mortgage lien on the voters of the
Negro race; but this bit of pithy COM
ment seems to show that our COL
ored man and brother is not any mans
political chattel. 1t appears as if he was
doing good bit of Independent thinking
on his own account, and as if he had
made up his mind to do some indepen-
dent voting too.

The Democratic Tide Rising.

Three weeks ago it was a grave prob
lem as to the outcome of the coming
Presidential election. President Cleve-
land had taken great chances, but he
had taken them after mature delibera-
ton, and after sounding his conscience
in view OF the pledges of the Democratic
platform of 1884, on which he was elect
ed. Many Democrats of Judgment and
experience at first doubted the wisdom
of his message. With scarcely an excep-
tion they now believe in its wise inspir-
alton and timeliness. The argument of
the campaign is with the Democratic
party. No dramatic tricks of James G..
Blaine, and no dashing in of heads of
"bar'ls," will deceive the people as to
their true and lasting interests. They are
against surplus in the nalTreasury !;
they do not believe in enri iching select
few through the medium of an exorbit-
ant war tariff; they believe that revised
and corrected tariff should be 80 adjust.
ed as to protect American labor; they be-
lieve that just 30 much money should be
gathered in from the pockets of the peo-
pie and the circulating medium of the
country as is necessary to pay the expen-
ses of the government economically ad-
ministered, which includes the interest
on the public debt and the pension OF
the soldiers. They believe, besides, in
administrators of public affairs who
have ably and satisfactorily discharged
their trusts. Believing thus, the people
are going to continue the Democratic
party in power, and Democratic victory
is assured in the nation, State and
county. The Democratic tide is rising
and it is going to prove to be a ground
swell.
