In OTHER columns will be found very
interesting review of the coal problem in
a letter from a citizen of Los Angeles
who is in Washington Territory. He
makes some suggestions that are worthy
of the attention of our Chamber of Com
merce. One OF these is that Los Angeles
can get cheap and good fnel from that
Territory by securing coal mine there.
Such property can be bought there now
at from 500 to $3.50 per acre, and from
the way in which the known coal lands
are being snapped up he believes these
prices will not be long open. A syndi-
cate Of our people, acting for the city,
might formulate a plan by which we
would have the benefit of cheap coal for
an indefinite number of years. Cheap
fuel is one of the desiderata we cannot
do without if We would become great
manufacturing center.

PLATFORM.

WHEREAS, The Democracy OF the city of Los
Angeles should be congratulated upon the fact
that, although defeated in the late National
campaign, it has not in the least weakened theil
power or lessened their zeal in the great battle
for principle and right; and
WHEREAS, The Republican party was In
power in Los Angeles city from the 1st of Jan
uary, 1885, to the LIST of January, 1888: it had
it had its Chiefs of Police. yet never in the his
tory of this city was gambling so open and de-
fiant, never was crime SO rife and audacious,
and never was the peaceful citizen so subject
to the attacks of midnight Iufians and his
property so at the mercy of thieves; therefore,
RESOLVED, That the Democracy of Los Angeles,
true 10 the interests of their party, in favor
of tina. policy in local government which will
maintain the good order of society and secure
every citizen in the enjoyment of his rights;
having for their object the suppression of vice
and the closing Of disorderly houses, shall be
strictly and rigidly enforced by the police arm
OF the municipal government.
imposition of as high license upon the retail
liquor bu iness as it will bear, on the principle
OF increasing the municipal revenue from the
traffic in non-essentials, we are opposed
to the policy proclaimed by our opponents, that
disorderly dens may flourish if they will
only pay enough for the privilege. The De-
mocracy of Los Angeles do not believe in en-
cOuraging disorderly houses at any price, and
are firm in their belief thai the way to suppress
resorts obnoxious to cool order and to public
morals is to revoke their licenses and sum-
marily close them.
Resolved, That he Democracy of the city of
Los Angeles are in favor of liberal expenditures,
under proper system of check. for public i'm
proyements: in increasing the facilities of oul
public schools; in improving our Streets in
constructing perfect system of sewers, and in

so for our party.

THE proof of the pudding is in the
eating. For three years the Republicans
controlled the city government. During
that time they had four Chiefs OF Police,
and the complexion of the force was en-
tirely Republican; yet gambling -four
ished almost openly, the worst dives
were tolerated, and all species of offensive
vice flourished with impunity. The
Democracy went into power on the heels
OF this four years of Saturnalia last Jan
uary, and since that time gamb-
ling has been almost wholly
suppressed. and the peace and
good order of the city has been the sub
ject of universal remark. There is not a
city in the Union Of the size of Los An
geles that can compare with it in its
exemption from violations of law prevail
ent in all large and mixed communities.
The bad element common to all cities is
kept under wholesome restraint, and the
good element enjoys the protection OF
law honestly administered. San Fran
cisco is modern Alsatia compared with
Los Angeles.

QUIxoTIC Democrats are loud in their
protestations that they will not hold office
under Republican rule. That programme
carried out is what the Republican party
want. There is no doubt that great ef-
fort will be made by the spoilsmen OF
the g. o. p. to turn the rascals out in
short order. Why play their game? Put
the incoming administration on record,
and make it show its hand. Why
play right into the hands of the enemy
The law gives every office-holder o right
to the office he holds until his term ex-

but as Gen. Grant said, the best way to
get bad law repealed is to enforce it.

two investigations held in New York
City. In view of all the circumstances,
the Commission recommends a reception
place larger than Castle Garden, from
which those not legitimately connected
with immigrant transportation shall be
excluded. The interior lines should
have agents there on an equal footing.
The payment Of commissions for routing
immigrants and for procuring the ship
ment of immigrants from foreign coun-
tries should be declared illegal and made
punishable. The Commission should
have the power to fix immigrant fares.
These objects cannot be successfully ac-
complished except by the Federal Gov

whole subject.

Commission inclines that the penal pro.
visions against wrongs OF this nature
should embrace also the owners OF the
property, or any other party acting fol
the owner or consignor of property, who
shall be party to any such unlawful
conduct. The Commission suggests that
questions thus raised be settled by al

Another question of construction ough

to take away the pretence on which Ger

thinks if a line is in fact through lint
by reason of ownership, the corporation
owning it ought not to be at lib

decline to make them at pleasure. Th'
Commission favors joint tariffs ant

navigable waters of the country, be upol

IT is plain to see that the so-called
Reform nominating meeting last night
was merely tender to the Republican
party. The whole business was cut and
dried, and the Republican ticket from
top to bottom, with few trifling excep-
tions, was submitted and endorsed. 1t is
questionable in our mind whether there
is anything gained by a fraction of q
party getting up side-show to endorse
the action of the main body. It may inn
pose on few short-sightei individuals;
but very few.

EEASTERN HAPPENINGS.
Fire in the Calumet and
Hecla Mine.
THE OPIUM CONSPIRACY CASE.
Argument in the HrOnek Trial
Begun-A New Anarchist
Circular.

associated Press Dispatches to the HERALDI
CALUMET, Mich, November 3O.-Fire
was discovered in the Calumet and Hecla
mine this morning. A large party of
men was working. The fire made rapid
headway. All made a rush for the sur
face, but eight are missing. That they
are dead is certain. The mine is COM
pletely covered with dense smoke. The
fire looks worse than did the last, but
being nearer the surface it is believed
the damage financially will not be so
great.
The company is making desperate ef-
forts to control the flames and rescue the
miners, but it looks as if the case is
hopeless. The men are all Cornish. The
scene about the mine is heartrending.
The families of the men are cognizant of
the extreme likelihood that the men will
never come out alive, and to their grief
and lamentations is added the most
frantic confusion on the part of all ex
cept the trained employ ees Of the COM
pany.
Christ Rule, one of the miners who
we're at work in the fourteenth level of
No. 2 shaft, says about IL o'clock last
night he saw and smelled smoke. He
at once called the attention of the others
to it. Charles G. Sarson and Henry
Brrkineynki, who were thoroughly
familiar with the Calumet branch Of the
mine, at once started up the ladder as
far as the tenth level, and then went
south to the main shaft and rode up to
what is called the grand sixth level.
They then crossed to No. shaft, where
they saw the shaft all ablaze.
Burkineynki at once went to the valve Of
the water pipe, opened it, Strengthened
out the hose and was ready to fight the
fire at the risk of his life, but there was
no water there. He says, however, that
had there been water it would have
hel ped matters none. Seeing this, the
men came to the surface. Nothing is
known of the whereabouts of the eight
men who are missing. They were work.
ing ZOO feet deeper in the main shaft,
and it supposed smelling the smoke, they
tried to escape and were smothered.
The fire is supposed to have been of in
cendiary origin. Over 100 men were in
this portion of the mine at the time, but
escaped.
1t would be foolish to attempt to ap-
proximate the loss, as the fire is every
way much worse than that of last year,
and is liable to burn for months.

PHENOMENAL simply is the change OF
public sentiment in the political line
since the National election. We were all
surprised, the Republicans quite as much
to as the Democrats, at the unexpected
maiorities rolled up for the 60. p. ticket.
But the wind of enthusiasm has sud-
denly changed, and it now blows no good
to Republican party. The peoples head
are set for the Democratic camp, and
nothing will hold them back.

THE HKONEK TRIAL.
The Evidence Concluded and Argu.
ment Begun.


CHICAGO, November 30.-The trial of
Hronek, the Anarchist, charged with
conspiracy to murder the officers of the
law who secured the execution of the
Haymarket Anarchists, was resumed
this morning. No sensational features
were developed, Hronek and others
merely denying the truth of the evidence
given for the prosecution.
Several other witnesses contradicted
Chleboun's evidence in minor points.
Copek declared that the story of his iu-
timacy and plotting with Hronek was
false. He never had anything to do with
dynamite or revenge. a man employed
as dredger testified to finding an empty
bomb in the river where Hronek declar-
ed he threw some of those given him by
Karafat
No important evidence was given at
the afternoon session, and shortly before
adjournment Assistant States Attorney
Elliott began the opening speech for the
State.

The Chief of Police of San Bernardino

Auble the other day. 1t appears that
these two men were wanted in that city

charges here are only petit larceny, the
men were turned over to the San Bernar.

men will plead guilty to burglary.
