FlRST.STREET PAVING.
Judge O'fIelveny Decides In Favor
OF the Property Owners.

Judge O'HIelveny Decides In Favor
OF the Property owners.
Judge O'Melveny yesterday morning
decided the case of Amos NJ. Austin
against General John M. Baldwin,
involving the paving of First street. 1t
will be remembered that some time since
the City Council advertised for bids for
the paving of First street, from Fort
street to Center. When the bids were
received it was found that contractor
Sheerer had sent in the lowest bid and
| the Council awarded the contract to him
Under the Vrooman act the property
owners have the right, within specified
time, to take the work, and Amos NJ.
Austin, the plaintiff in this case repre-
81 nted the property owners, and asked
for the award of the contract.
Baldwin refused to execute the contract
on grounds fully explained by him in
last Tuesdays HERALD. Mr.. Austin
took the matter into court. applying for
writ of mandate to compel General
Baldwin to execute the mandate. Judge
O'Melveny yesterday in deciding the
case ordered the writ of mandate to
issue as prayed::for. After reviewing the
facts OF the case, as given in the testi-
mony, Judge O'Melveny said he was of
the opinion that it was the duty of the
Street Superintendent to prepare and
execute the proper contract and to de-
liver the same to the contractor who was
acting as the representative of the prop
erty owners, upon the presentation to
him by said agent of sufficient bond
and the payment of the expense of the
notices, and in conclusion he ordered
that peremtory writ of mandate issue
to Superintendent Baldwin, ordering
him to perform these acts. The attor.
neys representing the defendant said
| that they would serve a notice Of appeal
to the Supreme Court.

4 Tissue of Lies on Am Issue Not
of Lies.


of Lies.
Politics usually furnishes what is con-
sidered as good field as love or war for
the use of any weapons fair or foul.
This being SO, newspapers presided over
by people of brains naturally small and
utterly undeveloped by any study of his
torical facts, or Of philosophy human or
Divine, conceive this field fine one in
which to exercise their weak powers Of
imagination; and therefore in an absence
of logic resort to pure fabrication. 1t is
an amusement which lmakes the fabri-
Gators happy in the thought that they are
really making battle for their party and
for it's cause, and it does no one any
harm for the simple reason that
no one pays any attention to
such style of journalism. 1t never made
vote in the world, and now and then a
"stretcher" is told whose contradiction
rebounds on all connected with it's fabri-
cation, and loses the party and the cause
much support.
When a Republican paper tells the
public that the leaders of the Democratic
party meet in back room every after
noon and secretly eat each others hearts
out, and that the sole survivor of the
kilkenny cat fight told the Republican
enemy the tale of woe, that story does no
harm, because all readers, sensible or fools,
know the story to be the biggest sort of
''stretcher." When such paper tells
the public that Colonel l. H. Polk said
he was in favor of the new Charter, that
story will not win votes for the cause. 1t
is as certain as fate that any man 80
misrepresented will before many days
run across some person who is opposed
to the gerrymandering instrument, when a
discussion will be in order. Such was
the case yesterday when Mr.. Polk met a
representative of the HERALD, and this
very question was raised.
"Why," said Polk, "I never made
the statement that [ favored the new
Charter. l never until now had word
of. conversation will any newspaper-man
on that subject. As a matter OF fact l
am opposed to the new Charter, and
there is all there il to it,"
That is sort Of "stretcher" which
recoils on the Cause in whose behalf it
was issued. May judicious people will
say there can b. no good arguement to
make for any eau which resorts to such
means to secure support. There is a
good deal being said on the Republican
side of the house just now about the
great straits in which the poor Demo-
Gratis are for campaign coin. Yesterday
while the Republican inl, was still green
in which this story was printed, a
HERALD reporter stood in one of the big
railroad offices and in came two dapper
Republican ward politicians. They had
little book in hand and wanted lust
twenty" The poor fellow 10 ked six
ways to find where he might retreat, but
finally summoned up courage to say no.
And he stuck to his refusal in spite Of
much entreaty. With mufmur which
had most suspicious sound of profanity
on its edge, he said under his teeth:
81 am not in politics. l have given
them $50 already. That ought to be
enough"
By the way, no one has told us yet
who the Federal official is who lost his
place because he would not pay his as
sessment.

To Avoid Collisions.

Watch towers are being erected by the
Southern Pacific on its new Tustin
branch, at Polhemus, where the junction
is made with the Santa Fe branch, and
at the California Central crossing, two
miles south of Anaheim. A man will be
stationed in each Of these lookouts, and
will receive telegraphic communications
of the movements of trains so as to avert
any collision. The expense of mainten-
ance is to be equally divided between
the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific,
the former having charge of the tower
at the crossing and the latter the one at

Hundreds of Tourists En-
Route to this City.
EXCURSION AGENTS ADvICES
Passengers Can Travel Through to
Omaha on No. Is After the
18th Instant.

Although a good many visitors from
the East travel on the regular trains, yet
the fact that the different excursion agen-
cies have 30 many inducements to offer
in the shape of special Accommodations
always bring the majority of the west
ward travellers in that manner. A
HERALD man yesterday visited the off
cies of the different companies in this city
with the object Of ascertaining how many
people were on the road at the present
time, on their way to Los Angeles and
other points of Southern California.
The following is the result Of his in.
vestigations:
Warner Bros. sent out six carloads
from Kansas City yesterday, which Will
arrive here on Tuesday morning.
George Cotteral & Co. received a dis
patch Yesterday stating that three car
loads of Eastern tourists bound for Los
Angeles were passing the day at Salt
Lake City and would be here on Monday
morning.
The Raymond and Whitcomb people
have advices that there are about seventy
persons in their special train which will
arrive here on Sunday.
The agents of the Chatterton Company
report that an excursion over their lines
will arrive here to-day. The strength OF
the party is not known.
The Union Pacific people report an ex-
cursion on the road. The number OF the
party is not known.
Phillips & Co. state that nine carloads
of people have been already booked for
their excursion which leaves Boston on
Tuesday next and that it promises to be
one of the largest parties of the season.
A promising excursion is being organ
lied by the Walters Company in Chicago
and will leave that city on the 10th inst.
And this, it must be remembered, is
on the eve OF the national election, which
naturally keeps great many people at
home. After that event is over the i'm
migration will be doubled. that is if the
advices received here from excursion
managers and passenger agents of the
Eastern roads 60 for anything.
