ieaf <adman's Tslard running northerly
~ oblique line one thousand feet,
'e' Hhg an entrance between the extreme
<.at of the two lines of sea wall of an
(0tker thousand feet, enclosing in this
outer harbor an area of about
seven hundred acres, with a
depth of water rsnging from
sixteen to sixty feet. The completion of
this work would give us double barber
perfectly sheltered from all storms, and
equal, in respect to Accommodations and
safety for shipping, to sny harbor or the
Pacific Coast. The commercial ins por-
tance of this section, its growing trade
and increasing population, all war
rant the Government in undertaking
and carrying out the work. 1t rs esti-
msted that the extreme cost would be
about 1000, 600. That is a small sum
lccmpared with the importance of secur-
ling a harbor such as is proposed.
1.-The advantages to commerce would be
1 well worth the expenditure, whilst
Il the fact that there is no safe harbor for
large vessels on this coast between San
Francisco and San Diego is an over
powering argument in favor of creating
one at this point. The Government
engineers have already approved of this
plan as feasible, and will doubtless give
it the weight Of their influence in recon-
mending that Congress make the neces.
sary appropriation. The customs revenue
at the Port of San Pedro is now large
enough tc Justify the contemplated ex-
penditure, and the steady increase of oul
foreign trade is so great that nothing but
, the most inexcusable disregard of the
, commercial importance of Los Angeles
J and its tributary territory can prevent
, Congress from acceding to this impera'
} tive demand.

IT SEEMS to u absurd the eff 4rt to de-
feat Carlisle in The Sixth Kentucky dis
trict by throwipa out 7 ,502 tickets because
they had been cut in the sheets by per.
forators instead of knives. Apart from
the fact that The perforated ends oi
tickets could hardly have been designed
to "spot" the voters, and thus
defeat the object OF the secret ballot, the
question arises whether mode of paper
separation which has, in great meas
ure, taken the place of the knife, can be
considered, in the contemplation of law
an invalidation of the ballot. The intention
would go for something in the determin.
ing OF this question, and it could hardly
be evidence of illegal intent to employ
in cutting tickets the same kind of ma.
chinery that is almost universally used
in printing establishments for separating
sheets into small subdivisions. This
perforated ticket business looks to us
like very small piece of desperate par
tizanship.

STILL IN THE BALANCE,
The Republican Title to West Vfr
glnia still ClOuded

WHEELING, Viva, November I3.-
The all-important official count in the
Mountain State is not completed, and
until it is no one will know definitely
whether the electoral ticket is Republi.
can or Democratic. The majority cannot
be more than 200 or 300 either way. The
Republican State Committee has raised
its estimate of from 125 to 200 to the
above figures as its claim, while the
Democratic Committee has reduced its
estimate to 100. The Democratic claim
to-day is from 400 to.50O.
1t will probably be the latter part of
the week before the official count is com.
pleted. Judge Fleming, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, has demanded
recount of the Kanawha returns, which
county reported a majority for Goff Of
l,50O. In the counts so far no important
errors were discovered. What triAipg
gains are made by one party are Offset
by similar gains for the opposing side.
The returns now in justify the belief
that there will be no material difference
between the Republican State and Ma
tional tickets, as Goff did not run as
much ahead of his ticket as at first re-
ported.

THERE is provocation to a quiet smile
in Henry Georges raving in his Standard
about the vote buying Of Governor David
Bennett Hill. George is a maniac on
Hill, as he is on several other matters.
1t would take good deal of money to
buy the vote of the State of New York
A man might start in with the wealth of
the Rothchilds and be in a minority OF
500, 900 after exhausting his last dollar, if
he were known as mere vulgar buyer of
votes. The farce of the thing is all the
more apparent when the fact is borne in
mind that Gov. Hill is comparatively a
poor man. There ia something too trivial
for mirth even in this hard working news
paper editor--for Governor Hill is pro-
fessional newspaper man-buying the
people of the Empire State wholesale.
The joke is rendered even more colossal
by the character of the men who are
represented as Hills moneyed hackers.
They were no less than Samuel j. Tilden
and William M. Tweed. Ye Gods
There is collocation for you! George
ought to have added the name of Hora-
ito Seymour, and achieved an ass's
trinity. David Bennett Hill is the soul
Of honor and of political chivalry, and
is one of the great succession of Silas
Wright, Marcy and Samuel ]. Tilden
His name is tower OF strength to the
Democratic party, and, ever in the
midst of victory, The Republicans pale
when they think Of him.

DOnnefly and Gtrard In Their
"Natural Cas-,
This laughable farce is making a great

are of the first magnitude, and the satel-
lites are brilliant. Ben Collins holds his
own we'll and is as big favorite as when
he previously visited the city in the min
strels. Miss Satterlee as "Jumpsy" is a
divine dancer, and Miss Ethel Corlette

CNcMNATT, November 13.-Examina
ton OF the ballots in Boone, Campbell
Kenton and Pendleton counties, in thu
Sixth Kentucky district, shows that 7 so:
perforated tickets were cast for Hon
John G. Carlisle. His majority in the
entire district was 6,051, so that if nc
further search is made, there are enough
ballots to defect him If it shall be de.
clared upon contest that these perforated

All Settled.

The war between the County Railroad
and the Cohuenga Valley line is over.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, the proprietor of the
last named road, stepped into the offices
of the County Road yesterday morning
and offered 10 settle the matter there
and thus avoid all further troubles, such
as tearing up track, ETC., as were in order
on Monday. An amicable arrangement
was soon made and all is peace again
and the construction train of the County
Road is laying track as if nothing had
happened.

Gordon Reinaugurated,

ATLANTA, Ga. November l3.-Goy.
ernor Gordon was inaugurated for q
eecond term to-day. The inaugural ad-
dress deals with the late election and the
effect it will have on the South and indi-
vidual States, taking the stand that he
does not believe the Republican success
means the degrading of any Of the 8 nth
ern States by the enactment of force bills.
II there is one principle of government
better than all others to American free
men. he said, it is the independence,

A brakeman on the Southern Pacific
railroad, named G. A. Lee, was run over
yesterday afternoon and his foot
smashed. He was making a coupling
between the engine and fiat car Oh
train No. "a, at Hornby, station be.
tween NewEall and Langs. He fell
from the pilot board of the engine and
a pair OF trucks passed over his right leg
just above the ankle. He was brought
into the city on train No. 10 and taken
to the Sisters Hospital last evening.

Now that the smoke and sulphur OF
the local battle have blown away, and
that the animus begotten of strife has
subsidized, it is quite as we'll that some of
the acerbities of the struggle should be
brushed away. The President of the
Farmers and Merchants Bank, Mr.. l.
W. Hellman, was not candidate for
Office, he was not even connected this
year with the Democratic County Com
mittee. And yet his personality was
made to striking degree factor in the
contest. He was caricatured without
mercy and endless circulars repre-
sented him as making money tight
in Los Angeles and as loaning
large sums in San Francisco. AS
a matter of fact, Mr.. Hellman' IS
career as banker in Los Angeles-we
allude to his personal career-has been
of the most amiable and benefcent char
acter. He has assisted more deserving
people to success and fortune than any
man in our midst. He has never been
known to foreclose a mortgage except
under exigent circumstances, to protect
his bank, and he has never computed
compound interest in his life. Every
scheme for the development of Los An
geles county has found in him a staunch
and liberal friend. So thoroughly are
his kindliness of disposition and integrity
appreciated in this community that at
the very moment that he was being held
up as a Shylock, Madame Clement,
a French lady who died leaving an
estate valued at $l5O,OO0, made him her
executor without bonds, and declined to
make will until he at length consented
to serve. his reluctance arising from the
fact that the fiduciary relations already
forced on him are 30 great as to preclude,
with his ordinary business affairs, any
approach to leisure. Now look upon
this picture of the death-bed trust of
lone woman and then upon that of the
ephemeral caricature!

Above all looms up the circumstance that
the expenses of the official gentlemen
who saw the system in working order at
Atlantic City were paid by the persons
who 1sk the $4,000 bonus. This fact of
itself will always be an element OF dis
trust with the average citizen, particularly
when he is taxpayer.

AT DISCOVERING mares nests our es
teemed contemporary, the Times, is a
hand and a half on any roustabout
standard. 1t has found out, evolving
the fact from it's own inner consciousness
that the saloon men of Los Angeles
have raised purse of $4,000 to elect
ex-Chief of Police Cuddy, Mayor. This
dire conspiracy is developed with solemn
assinity. AS matter of fac. the saloon
men have raised no fund, and Mr.. Cuddy
has not the remotest idea of running for
Mayor. This whole talk about "Mac,"
saloon men and so on, ad nauseam, in
connection with Democrats, is too gauz v
for the patience of any intelligent person.
In municipal elections, the Democratic
party, as in all other elections, puts
forth its best men and is represented in
Convention by its most respectable
elements. Mr.. Cuddy, if he were to be
the Democratic nominee for Mayor,
would go before the people with a stain.
less character, the peer of any possible
opponent as far as honesty and respecta-
bility are concerned. 1t is somewhat
gratuitous to lug him into fatuous dis
cussions of the matter, with accompani-
ments of sheer invention, when he has
not had the slightest notion of being a
candidate. We are not advised who the
Democratic nominee for Mayor will be,
but we know of certainty that he will be
clean and respectable, and will represent
the best elements of his party, as have
all his predecessors in the history of the
city OF Los Angeles, whether elected or
defeated.

Missing silver.

WASHINGTON, November 13.-Some ir-
regularity has been discovered in con-
nection with the transfer of silver dollars
from the mint at New Orleans to Wash
ington for storage in the large new vault
in the court yard of the Treasury build
ing. which has resulted in the loss of
81, 500. The Treasury officials refuse to
speak of the matter, and very little is
known beyond the fact already stated.
The silver is shipped by the Adams
Express Company and the loss will
probably fall upon it, unless it can be
proven that the packages containing the
money were tampered with before it
came into it's possession.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
ST. LOUIS, November 13.-The lates
news from the Chickasaw Nation was
brought from Tishomingo to-day, by
James Harris, auditor of the Nation, to
Gainesville, Texas, and is of a startling
character. Harris says Governor Guy
was not killed Saturday night, as report
ed yesterday, the wouldbe assassin's
bullet failing to hit him. This attempt
to take the Governors life, so aroused
his friends that over three hundred of
them heavily armed, gathered at Tisho-
mingo yesterday to protect him,
and Byrd with two hundred well armed
men also gathered near the capital
last night and went into camp. Auditor
Harris and few other Indians were at
GainesN lille preparing for the fight which
they said would come off tonight, Guy
having ordered his men to surround the
Byrd party and exterminate them unless
they surrendered without resistance.
These Indians left at noon for Tishomineo
to join Guys forces, which they say will
number 700. The non-citizens are es-
pousing Guys cause against the Byrd
party. Unless the United States govern
ment interferes it will be war of exter-
mination.

Murdered and Eaten bv Hor..

OMAHA, Neb., November 13.-On FRI
day last, two farmers, Hiram Rotter and
William Ashley, living in Custer county,
called on neighbor named Holstein to
see him about some furniture which had
disappeared from the schoolhouse in that
district. Ashley and Rotter were direc-
tors. They failed to return Fri
day night, and after waiting
until Sunday their neighbors became
suspicious, and instituted search for
them. Yesterday afternoon they saw
some hogs eating at some object in hay
stack in Holstein's field, and going to
the spot, found the dead bodies of the
two directors. Rotter's face had been
badly eaten by the hogs. Holstein can
not be found, and it is believed he took
the team which the men had and left
the country.
