FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Queen Victoria's Coronation In westmin-
lister Abbey June 20, 1888.

Queen victoria's Coronation In westmin-
lister Abbey June 30. 1888.
Fifty years ago, ON the 2Sth of June,
1888, the crown of these realms was
placed upon the head of Queen Vic
toria. On the morning of that memoir
able day the sky was overcast for a
time, and between seven and eight rain
fell The procession, which vast
multitude had gathered to see, would
have been shorn of half it's splendor
and attraction If the weather were UNI
favorable. Happily the sky cleared
and the sun shone forth brightly before
the procession left Buckingham palace
at ten o'clock. The beauty of the day
was one of the charms of spectacle
which had not been equaled since the
entry into London of the allied sover-
eigns in 1914. An incident occurred
before the end of the ceremony at Vest
minister abbey which in the days of
antiquity would have been hailed as a
good omen and which, in fact, has
proved emblematic of the brilliancy of
reign that is not only one of the long
est but is one of the most memorable in
our history. After the royal robe had
been thrown over her Maiesty's
shoulders, after the orb had been placed
in her hand and the ring upon her
finger, after the Holy Bible had been
presented to her and the Archbishop of
Canterbury had pronounced solemn
blessing, then, to use the words of our
reporter, "a CLEAN of sunshine which
now broke through the great south
rose window lighted right on her
Maiesty's crown, which sparkled like
galaxy and lent a still more dazzling
brilliancy to the scene" There are
men still living who were present not
only at the coronation of the Queen
but at that of her two predecessors on
the throne. Yet the vast majority of
the people have no acquaintance with
such ceremony now except at second
hand. and it is our fervent hope that
many years may elapse before another
coronation takes place at Westminster
Abbey. When the Queen was crowned
there were some old men, whose memoir
les might stretch back to the time when
George LII. assembled the throne, yet
there were many more to whom such
an event as a coronation was not extra
ordinary and who had been present at
that of George ~. seventeen years
and that of William ~. seven years
before. With the exception of the
coronation of George Ill, no event of
that kind was more noteworthy than
that of her Majesty since the success
sion to the crown OF these realms was
settled by act of Parliament in thu
house OF Brunswick. London 7Emss-

THIS may be dull time in real estate,
but to arrive at such conclusion We
would be obliged to take very inflated
era indeed as the standard. One of the
large ranches Of the county was in part
segregated the other day. Twelve
thousand acres were cut up into small
farms Of five to twenty acres each. This
was just four months ago. In this short
period four thousand acres, or one-third
OF the whole tract has been sold. -Four
months is one-third of year. At the
ratio thus far established, the year will
see the entire tract bought up for small
farms. This will add six hundred homes
to those already in existence in Los An.
geles. This is but an index of what is
going on in ell directions.

Los ANGELES city has done herself
proud in the manner in which it has re-
ceived and entertained the Democratic
State Convention. Thanks to those in
whose hands the arrangements OF differ
ent kinds were put, the several parts OF
the programmes were all delightful in
themselves and they were perfectly car
ried out. Our citizens without distinction
of any sort lent willing and liberal
hands to the affair, and the other
towns around united their generous
efforts with ours. The three days have
been red letter ones with us, and from the
extreme north to the furthest limits OF
the south, the delegates will return to
their homes with pleasant memories OF
their visit to the land OF the orange
groves. 1t was delight to welcome our
guests at their coming. With pleasant
thoughts and treasured memories, we
now speed them as they depart for their
homes. The Convention has been in all
respects q success.

TURN about is fair play; but the ex-
tremist is never fair. The jealous, if
mistaken, women who met in Convention
recently under the banner OF the
Equal Rights party, inserted in their
platform the plank Of the Prohibitionists
demanding the repeal of the tax on
whiskey and tobacco. And now the un-
grateful Prohibition party talks of elm
mating the woman suffrage plank from
its platform. The Prohibitionists cannot
parade with the Republicans in petit
coats; and while the g. o. p. has well
coined to its ranks every political faction
that has sprung up, ism or no ism, it has
persistently closed its doors to labor and
womenhood. We are not pleading for
woman suffrage, but simply remark upon
the fact that the Republican party and
its allies never take any lively interest
in, or support any movement or reform
which does not promise to increase theil
party power and prestige. AS for the
people, why, they are in their minds but
parasites crawling over the face of the
earth
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-05-18

THE precocious small boy of the streets
who said that his father begged in order
to get money to buy whiskey, and drank
in order to get up courage to beg, evil
IDENTITY had more or less of Republican
training. The Republican party exists
as the servitor of capitalistic oligarchy
which it created; and trusts, syndicates,
monopolies and other powerful interests,
as opposed to the welfare OF the masses
flourish as the outcome of its existence.
The mill of the plutocrats-with the Re.
publican party as the top stone, and
aggrandized capital as the bottom stone,
were it not for the safeguard of the
Democratic party, would grind the people
to dust.

SHALL "Unser Fritz"-the Emperor
now-repeat the exploit of Sysiphus Of
old, cheat grim death, and live and
laugh at how near his throat the
clutches OF the monsters icy fingers
were? Well, Fritz seems to be good
ruler OF his people. His near approach
to the dark portals of that marrow
house" in which King, Kaiser, and all
the great ones Of the earth, lie down at
last, the absolute equal of the veriest
beggar, yea, the companion OF the form
less clod, will tend to make him more
merciful and just in the exercise OF his
earthly functions. In hope hereof lei
us say, may he live long.

FRIpAY. WAY Is, 1855.

No CONTEST in the Convention which
adjourned yesterday evening, involved
half the earnestness which centered
around the selection Of the candidate for
Chief-Justice OF the Supreme Court OF
this State. There were three candidates
in the field, Judge Searles, who now oc-
cupies the position by appointment OF
the late Governor Bartlett-the election
is to fill the unexpired term, a vacancy
having been caused by the death OF the
late Chief-Justice, Robert F. Morrison
Judge ] F Sullivan, OF the Superior Court
of San Francisco, and Judge Armstrong,
of Sacramento. 1t has been well under
stood that the nomination lay between
Searles and Sullivan, and that a hard
personal fight was being made against
the latter. No man OF less ability and
integrity than Searles could have over
come the popularity OF Judge Sullivan
But the latter gentleman's best friends
could not, and did not, say one
word which in any way could be
construed to detract in the least from
the great merits OF the gentleman who
now occupies the seat at the head OF the
bench OF this State That so good, SC
wise, so pure man as the late Mr.. Bart
lett had appointed Judge Searles to this
exalted position, will be with those who
are not acquainted with the character OF
ability of the nominee sufficient to over
come any misgivings or doubts on
these heads. Judge Sullivans friends
will heartily sup port Judge Searles.

OUR Republican contemporaries, one
and all, are doing themselves proud in
their efforts to give full, fair and bright
reports OF our convention. They main
tain a tone of courtesy in all their out
givings which do them credit. This is
as it should be. We are all men, all
American citizens, all Calilornians. Let
us differ as widely as we may in matters
OF opinion, let us differ as earnestly as we
can in matters which we deem of impor-
lance in National policy but let
us RENE a, Der that we should all aim at
the best interests of our common country.
II is poor cause which must be boil
stored up by such poor methods as
abuse. We cannot overthrow our OPP
ponents by any other means than fair
logic based on facts as the premises. 1t
is well for the country when the press of
both parties recognize this.

We WERE encouraged from our knowl-
edge OF the complexion of the committee
appointed for the purpose to promise the
Democracy OF the State something worth
reading in the declaration of principles
to be set forth at the State Convention.
In the local columns of the HERALD to-day
this platform will be read. 1t does not
cover much space; but, then, there is not
a word wasted. Its deliverances are like
that of a mitrdiueuse, but aimed with
the precision of rifle. Every shot
strikes the center, and with irresistible
effect. Read it.

THE San Fernando Farming aud Mill.

THE San Fernando Farming aud Mill
ing Company has thirty thousand acres
of wheat growing on the ranch in the San
Fernando Valley. One of the happy
possessors OF this princely domain re-
ports the crop as being in excellent con-
dition and promising magnificent har-
vest. Few people realize that Los An
geles ranks, one year with another, as
from third to fifth in its grain yield. This
is true of barley and wheat,
while in corn we have only the
one rival, Alameda. The current
year is likely to put US very near the top
of the list in all cereal products, and we
may take the belt in this respect. While
other sections have suffered to some ex-
tent from lack OF rain we have had plenti-
fui precipitations, and our crops are in
splendid condition.

the first time in this city Geo. Hoey's
melange, OH What a Night 1t is thin
thread Of narrative on which good deal
OF funny nonsense is strung. The parti-

some recitations in his one peculiar vein
Miss Lillian Elmo also MARBLES with some
skill, and adds materially to the pleasure
Of the evening. The attraction raises a
laugh at all points. Some portions OF it
are a good deal like the initiation cere-
monies INDUCED in by the Iroquois Club.
Miss Elmo must be Democrat and have
learned the war-whoop Of the tribe
that is, to judge by the way she screams
when she faints, or makes feint Of
fainting. The same attraction for to-

THE LATE REM NADEAu.



Nothing is needed during the present
generation in this community to keep
green the memory Of the late Remi
during long and active life. He came
to Los Angeles long before ordinary peo-
pie had any conception of what It was
destined to be. But Mr.. Nadeau was one
OF those men who are gifted with the
power to look into the future and see
where growth will be. He was always
great believer In the city of Los Angeles
and in Southern California. This
faith was the basis of his sue
cess. For because of it he was led
70 invest the profits OF all his ventures in
this section. His energy was unbounded
ana led him IN all his business to reach
ahead OF his time. He was always the
hrst man IN the vanguard of every pro-
cesslon, whose end was progress. He
reached out IN many directions, and
never made mistake. The Nadeau
House, begun by him six years ago,
when all around it was covered with
shanties and adobes, when the city was
still very small place, will long remain
a monument to Mr.. Nadeau's wisdom Of
which any man might we'll be proud.
The Nadeau vineyard and winery fur
nish another lasting witness of his, bust
ness sagacity and public spirit.
| But, Mr.. Nadeau left behind him some.
thing which testifes to his worth more
emphatically than could any monument
OF lasting stone or imperishabie brass
He left the memory of a kind husband
safely locked in the affectiona'e heart o.
faithful wife. Not satisfied with know
ing that the people Of this city
would long remember her deceas-
ed consort, Mrs Nadeau desired
to do something which would live as 6
memento of her affection for good hus
band. To this end she has caused to bt
erected over his last long resting place
a beautiful shaft, Of which the following
is an imperfect and inadequate descrip
ton:
The monument is thirty-five feet squar.
and the ground work is of Californi.
