protested against their being counted.
These ballots were distributed in consid-

The comparison between the barber
shop of America and the barber shop of
Europe is the comparison between a pal
ace and a hovel. Luxury in a barber
shop across the water, even in Paris, is
an unknown quantity. The American
barber aims to make his shop as attract
i've, his chairs as luxurious and comfort
able as possible. In decorations and fit
ting up generally many shops in America
are exceedingly artistic. In Europe
things are different. An American Wis
iting Paris or London, on placing him
self in the hands of a native barber, will
at once sigh for the land of his birth, and
would even onjoy the gossip of his
American barber.
In the provincial towns and cities of
Germany a barber is an institution. He
Is a dignitary TO some extent. The head
barber never shaves a man. He hires
assistants to do that. He must be a
surgeon and a dentist. He pulls teeth,
cups and leeches, cuts off a leg or
arm If necessary, but he never draws q
razor across a customers face. The head
barber's assistants start out with their
shaving outfits early in the morning and
do tho shaving right at the homes of
customers, who make a contract for a
year to be shaved SC many times a week
for so much-generally about $40 is the
price. Customers must be at home when
the barber calls or they will not be shaved
until the next trip. There are very few
shops and very poor ones in Germany.

astounded at the luxury, the artistic AL
rangement and general elegance of tn,
American barber shop. George Wernei

Arfstocratic Candidates Genuine
and Goldfish.

The Republican party is at last happy.
1t has at the head OF its ticket genuine
aristocrat in the person OF Gen. Benjamin
Harrison. We say genuine aristocrat
because, though he has not the fourteen
quarterii gs of nobility which were neces-
sary in France, under the old regime, to
give a man standing in the Faubourg st.
Germaine, he has grandfather. This is
a great deal more than can be said of
most aristocratic Americans. AS to
ninety-nine out OF a hundred of the
plebeian crowd they are not only under
the traditional difficulty OF the saw which
runs that it is wise man that knows his
own father, but as American sovereigns
they are anxious to repudiate their an
cestry. Royal themselves, they disdain
to acknowledge that they belong to a
subject race. As a consequence,
their grandfathers, who were probably
the subjects OF the monarchs OF
effete Europe, are not only a matter OF
perfect indifference but o. positive aver
sion. They don't wish to be reminded
vi butll bluNlbl CICdNultb. lut aDltTl-
can candidate for President not only
seems to have had grandfather but
great grandfather as well. Not content
with handicapping him with such pain
full excess OF ancestry they 60 further,
and trace his descent back to Cromwell's
time. 1t appears to be true that his
remote progenitor was one OF the tribe
engaged in hanging and quartering Irish
men in those good old days. In all
probability this gentleman was butcher,
for Cromwell affected people of that
calling, the aristocrats being very partic-
ular in flocking to Charless side. At all
events, ii he did not begin life as a |
butcher, he did not 20 far with Cromwell |
in his Irish campaign before he became |
a most approved one, with human beings |
rs his subjects. The head OF the Repub-
lican ticket will probably, on this
account, get most of the Orange vote in
the United States. ]

THE HOUSE.
Pig Iron Kelly Makes n Very Re-
markabie Suggestion.

The Public Land bill was passed by
the House, with Holman's amendment,
retaining title in the Government to coal
mines found on public lands, but allow
ing entry-men to mine such coal deposits
until Congress takes further action in the
matter.
When Miller called up the tariff bill,
Kelly, of Pennsy ylvania, suggested on his
individual responsibility, as a means of
expediting adjournment, taat the tariff
bill be laid aside until the next session,
its fate then to depend upon the result of
the November elections, and that the
surplus be kept down by tile entire repeal
of the tobacco tax.
Miller rejected the suggestion and
made the counter proposal that the Re-
publicans should fix an early day for
taking a final vote on the bill.
Reed, OF Maine, declared Kelly spoke
for himself alone and that the Repub-
licans would insist upon pointing out the
defects of the bill in detail.
Breckinridge, Of Kentucky, declared,
the Democrats intended to have a vote
on the bill unless the 4th of March was
reached by distractions. He challenged.
the Republicans to put their platform in
the shape of legislative proposition and
tnen lake IeSt vote between tnat ant
the pending bill, letting it go to the SEN
ate if passed by the House. He sug-
gested that vote be taken at the end of
the legislative days.
Reed replied that the minority could
not pass bill it would be absurd to try
it.
Springer, of Illinois, endeavored to
have considered resolution directing
the Committee on Ways and Means to
report a date tor taking the vote, but
Kelly objected.
After Kelly's objection, the demands
for the regular order cut off further dis
cussion. The House then went into Com
mittee Of the Whole on the tariff. De-
bate on the subject ensued and continued
till o'clock, when the Committee rose
and the House adjourned.

HOME AGAIN.
What q Returned AngeIeno Has
To Say.

say
Mr.. William Thorp, long and we'll known
in Los Angeles, has within a few days re-
turned from a protracted visit to many
parts of the Eastern States of the Union.
A HERALD reporter met the gentleman
on the street yesterday, and after well
coming the wanderer back, entered into
conversation with him as to his tour.
Mr.. Thorp reports all parts OF the East as
being in the enjoyment of very fair de-
gree OF prosperity. This he augurs cor
rectly is auspicious for California.
Good times east of the mountains will
permit many people to do as they long
have desired-sell out their interests
there and emigrate to this favored section.
Mr.. Thorp fully confirms all other re-
ports as to the great number OF people
who are but awaiting a proper opportu-
nifty to do so. All things in the East
where civilization is three hundred years
old and where the progress of the Re-
public marks period of more than a
century, are down on very
firm basis, and profits run in very
per cent. is a big rate of interest to get
Jul vi lcRlbll1dJt luN66tlHcutS, anu tu6Tt
is no prospect as rule of any enhance
ment in the value OF any real property a
man nay buy. Money is plenty at
per cent. where good security is offered.
The story has gone abroad as to the way
fortunes are made in Los Angeles and
people, intelligent people, are anxious to
remove here and try their luck at the big
wheel which the blind goddess is turning
here. The Alladin-like tale that money
is worth Is per cent. in this section on
bond and mortgage, that investments in
houses, in business blocks, and of other
sorts will pay even higher profits, and
that the property which returns such
big revenues will increase in intrinsic
worth to twice and to five times its
present purchassble price, has made a
deep impression on the minds Of people.
The want to get their finger into this
rich pie, and they will do it, Mr..
Thorp predicts the biggest sort of a rush
hitherward for long time to come.

spick, span and well veneered banking
firm Of Morton, Bliss & Co. The grand
old party, having created and given ex-
elusive privileges to SO many banks, has
done the right thing in putting banker
on its ticket. Bankers come in very
handy in campaigns. Bankers, even
when they belong only to the Goldfish
aristocracy, have been known to possess
"bar'ls." Whatever Mr.. Morton may
lack in craftsmanship, he more than
makes up in solvency. He has been
tried and not found wanting, thing
which cannot be said OF all aristocrats,
whether of thetrue-blue Cromwellian or
Goldfish variety. He has that character
istic, most valuable in a candidate, OF
having been frequently known to sign
bis name to check for large amounts in
moments of critical exigency in the
affairs Of the grand old party. He is not
an orator, as Brutus was, but he has
been striking exemplifcation in a
political way, OF Goethe's aphorism, that
while speech is silvern, silence is golden.
His eloquence has not taken upon itself
the inutile form OF words, which Hamlet
so disprized in his remarks to Horatio.
He has remembered that the pen is even
mightier than the sword-when ap-
pended to check. His discreet silence,
coupled with his liberal spirit, was not
likely to remain long unregarded in party
SO devoted to sentiment and withal SO
practical as the Republican party. AS
contrasted with Mr.. Morton's big bank
account, the humble poverty Of an intel
lectual man like Thurman is very much
overshadowed indeed.
With two distinctive aristocrats in the
field, one OF whom has antagonized or
ganized labor in every shape, the work
ingman in the coming campaign has 9
capital opportunity to show himself in
dependent OF capital.

THURSDAY, JUNE ss, 1855.
who Is Doing Itr


At the opening of last winter there was
undoubtedly too much speculation in
outside town lots in Los Angeles county.
Real estate, which ought to have been de-
voted to production, was merely, on the
strength OF nearness to a railway, cut up
into twenty-five and fifty foot front lots
and sold at fancy prices. Our local banks
very properly called halt in this mad
ness, and the common sense ofour people
acquiesced in the move and applauded it.
As a result this wild speculation ceased,
leaving all the towns for which there was
real necessity to the gradual and
healthy development which has now set
in. This section passed through the or
deal without a crisis, because Los Ange-
les is now the center of the most remark
able agricultural, industrial and railway
development, at least as to ratio, on the
American continent. Great as has
been the increase OF our popu-
lstion in the past, it promises
to be still greater in the future. We eha' e
been accused Of selling climate, which is
true, and we will sell great deal more
of It during the next than we have dur
ing the past ten years. 1t is the most
valuable staple we have; and, although
our corn, wine and oil and oranges,
brandies and cereals, are OF high value,
they are as nothing to this priceless at
tribute OF climate The fact that man
may come here and sit under his own
vine and fig tree, with no one to make
him afraid, and that he can do it in a
climate which is a perpetual mid-May
day, will, within short time, make Los
Angeles county the most populous and
unique spot on the American continent.
The natural reaction has spent its force,
capital is flowing in here from abroad
and, with all values readjusted, the bed
rock reached, and with opportuni-
ties for profitable investment on every
hand, we are confronted with a
new development. Rumors OF failures
are industriously circulated that have no
foundation in fact. One goes down to
Santa Monica to encounter the state
ment that some well known firm has
failed and comes back to find that it is
utterly without scintilla of truth. The
same reports reach us from every section
of the county. Who is at the bottom OF
these alarmist rumors, started for pur-
pose, and utterly without warrant? De-
ferred payments have been met with a
promptitude that is high testimony to
our financial standing. 1t is at such a
time that the croaker is trying to get in
his work-the croaker for purpose-the
teredo of our local business fabric. THIS
creature should be extirpated far more
relentlessly than any pest of physical
nature. He ought to be rooted out
of our community and thrown
into the exterior darkness. There
will be more settlement and real pros
perity in Los Angeles in the coming Fall,
Winter and Spring, than have ever before
been chronicled here, and the fact that
values have been settled and adjusted
affords to the judicious invester splen-
did chance to make money.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-06-28
Blame on Thurman.

In his Twenty Years in Congress-
ex-senator James G. Blaine wrote of ex-
Senator Allen G. Thurman as follows:
His rank in the Senate was established
from the day he took his seat, and was
never lowered during the period Of his
service. He was an admirably disciplined
debater, was fair in his method OF
statement, logical in his argument,
honest in his conclusions. He had no
trick in discussion, no catch phrases to
secure attention, but was always direct
and manly. His mind was not preoc-
cupied and engrossed with political con-
tests or with affairs of State. He
possessed natural and cultivated tastes
outside Of those fields. He was a dis
eliminating reader and enjoyed not only
serious but inclined to the lighter indul-
gence OF romance and poetry. He was
especially fond of the best French
writer's. He loved Molere and Racine,
and could quote with rare enjoyment the
humorous scenes depicted by Balzac.
He took pleasure in the drama and was
devoted to music. In Washington he
could usually be found in the best seat
OF the theater when good play was to
be given. These tastes illustrate the
genial side Of his nature and we're fit
ting compliment to the stronger and
sterner elements of the man. His re-
tirement from the Senate was a serious
loss to his party--a loss, indeed, to the
body. He left behind him the respect Of
all with whom he had been associated
during his twelve years OF honorable
service.
