Republican Successes.

It was rather disheartening fol-
the Democrats in session at St,
Louis to hear, while there, the
news from Illinois and Oregon.
Republican successes in that
former state have not much signi-
fcance, but in the latter they are
more than ordinarily important.
The election in Oregon this year
included the choice Of a represen-
tative in congress and of a
legislature which will elect a
seccessor to Mr.. Dolph. It was
kept exceedingly quiet, but great
efforts were made by Democratic
leaders to carry the state. IF news
of a Democratic victory could
have been read to the convention,
it would have been great event,

LET EVERYBODY READ.

Republican victory, the prospects of which
grow brighter every day, can be imperrilIed
only By lack of unity in council or by acrimon-
iOus contest over men. The issue of protection
is intellectually stronger and greater than any
man. for it concerns the prosperity of the present
and of generations yet to come. Were it pos
sfble for every voter of the republic to see for
himself the condition and recOmpense of labor
in Europe, the party of free trade in the United
States would not receive the support of one wage
worker between the two oceans. 1t may not be
directly in our power as philanthropists to ele-
ygSe the European labOTer, but 1t viii be last
Ing stigma upon our craftsmanship if we permit
the American laDorer to be forced down to the
European level. And in the end the rewards Of
labor everywhere VIII be advanced if we steadily
refuse to lower the standard at home.
Yours Ve-y sincerely, JAMES G. BLAINE.

The Farmers Most Vitally Interested
IN Protection.

The wage-earners on farms in
this country exceed 100000,
while there are upwards of $4,000,
900 persons directly dependent on
farming for their livelihood. These
100000 farm hands, their en-
ployers, and the capital invested,
produce annually over 100000,
900, exclusive of cotton and
tobacco. Of this, 8 per cent. only
is sold in foreign markets, o2 per
cent. being consumed at home.
Which market then, should the
farmer uphold and encourage?
What tariff principals should he
maintain and support? What
would become of this great home
demand and remunerative market
should the Mills bill become d law?
Why, it would shrivel and shrink
amazingly, while millions of idle
mill operatives would be driven to
the farms. Imagine the number
of farmers doubled and the home
market shrunk to one-half or one
fourth its present size! No Won
der the owners and workers OF
farms are becoming anxious and
taking a deep interest in this, to
them more than any one else, vital
question. The busy season is at
hand, but a double harvest will
accrue if every man will do his
duty.

THE ODD FELLOWS.
A Proposition to Decorate the city
Handsomely.

Han0SOmelys
The committee of local members of
the Order, having in charge the coming
Encampment of Odd Fellows of the
world in this city, is hard at work. Sec.
retary Van Dusen has opened offices at
the Board OF Trade rooms, and is in daily
attendance there from 10 until O'Clock.
The committee has arranged so as to
keep itself in correspondence with each
Sovereign Lodge in each State in the
Union, in the Canadas, the colonies and
Europe. 1t is proposed to ascertain as
closely as possible just how many mem
bers Of the Order will encamp here next
September. As soon as this matter has
been settled arrangements will be made
to comfortably house and entertain the
visitors.
Charles E. Gault, resident representa-.
tive of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express,
suggests good idea. He says let all
possessed OF flags and bunting who dis
played them on the Fourth, take them
down carefully, fold them up and put
them away. 1t is proposed to decorate
the city as it never has been before,
when the Odd Fellows of the world meet
here. All flags and bunting used in cele-
brauing Independence Day could, if prop
erly cared for, do service in September. A
vast amount of decorative material will
be required and the expense incident to
it's use would be much decreased were
the flags and bunting used on Wednes-
day slowed away.

From Casteca.


EDITORS HERALD: In your edition ol
Saturday, June 30th, there is an article
entitled "a Race for Wealth." and as q
resident of Casteca, think it wrong tc
hold it up as mining country. There
is not mine in the whole canon and
there is not prospector at work either.
But | acknowledge that there is lots OF
locations made and they are invariably
on the water, in caiions, or near springs ;
and the principal profits these locations
reap is by renting them out to sheep men
for $500 or $400, and to cattle men for a
like amount, as on the Jinkins claim
there are A 900 sheep now pastured, and
De Turk, of Los Angeles, has just taken
his cattle away. There is room for forty
or fifty families ON this Casteca if it was
not for this Mineral Law. There is nc
work done on any claims, nothing but re-
recording, and that by the recorder in his
own interest. You can insert this if you
wish, as it is plain fact. 1 am respect.

FELL FROM A ROOF.
Death of w. h. Neef Caused by a
Detective Rrace.

Death of w. II. Neef Caused by a
Defective Brace.
A sad accident, resulting in the unti.ne-
ly death of respected and industrious
citizen, occurred on the premises num-
bered 1S7 Ninth street, near Olive, at
about s O'Clock yesterday morning. AT
the place designated frame building
has been in course of construction, for
the past ten days. Neef, man who has
resided in this city for some time with
his wife and child, was employed as a
carpenter by the contractor. Yesterday
morning Meet was engaged in hauling
sheeting upon the roof of the building, to
be used in bracing the rafters. The lum-
Der was handed him by companion
from the street below. To prevent the
sheeting sliding off the rafters to the
ground, Neef took piece OF board and
nailed it to the rafters in such a way as
to make it brace. Behind this brace
he piled up the sheeting as
it was handed him. He had
200 or 300 feet piled up
behind the brace when his companion
saw the mass break loose and commence
to slide down the roof. Meet was then
standing on the edge OF the roof. He
made a desperate, but unsuccessful effort
to save himself, but was caught by the
lumber and showed off the roof, head
first. He fell to the ground, distance
of twenty-seven feet. When picked up
the unfortunate man was dead, his neck
being broken by the fall. Coroner Mere
dith held an inquest on the body at three
o'clock in the afternoon, the jury return
ing verdict in accordance with the
facts recited above. Neef will be buried
by the Carpenters Union, of which he
was an active member. His wife and
child are left omparatively destitute.

EDITORS HERALD-The Fourth has
come and gone. The 112th anniversary
of the United States was fittingly celebra-
ted in this community. The evening OF
the 3rd found many small boys toying
with the firecracker, Roman candle and
sykrocket; even the old gentlemen en-
joyed the patriotic sport. On the
Fourth many visited Los Angeles to visit
the parade.
A few days ago tracklaying was begun
on the Rapid Transit from Ramona; but
again we are put to the test, when we
learn that rails cannot be had fast
enough.
Since last writing, great improvement
has been begun hereabouts. A new
house is being erected on the Hall tract
and another near the winery. Mr..
Rice's house is about completed. Mon
day work was again commenced on the
church, and it will be finished in very
short time. Under the management OF
Mr. McLain, the upper floor of the
Alhambra school is being fitted up so
that it will be ready for use next Septem-
Der, when school will again open.
As November approaches, partisan
zeal luCI0dst5. n young men hopuDll-
can Club will probably be formed in a

For along time past camp-6res have
been visible on Wilson's Peak.
Mr.. Longdon and a party of pleasure
seekers have been enjoying the noun
tain air for about week.
Messrs. James and Pitcher were there
this week.
Alhambra has petitioned the Board OF
Supervisors to incorporate and expects to
join the siGterhood of cities at the same
time Lamanda Park does.
We now have any quantity OF ripe
fruit of the choicest varieties.
The appearance of vineyards at pres.
ent does not predict large crop this
year. Some Northern gentlemen have
already been in the field trying to buy,
and it is believed that prices will be much
better this year than they were last.
Mrs. Wilson, Miss Wilson and Mr.. and
Mrs. Patton have gone to British Colum-
bia. Mrs. Wilson has been very sick,
and has taken the trip by the advice OF
her physician.
Dr.. Kellogg came home few days ago,
but again returned to Santa Catalina.

evening. The evening WAS 4 pleasant
