THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
Letters From Two Prominent
Gentlemen of the North.

Letters From Two Prominent
Gentlemen of the North.
The proposition to hold the State
Democratic Convention in this city
appears to be meeting with some favor
in the North, and the fight for it will
not be given up until the decision as
to location has been reached. Mr..
Sidney Lacey, who has taken an ac-
tive interest in having the convention
held here, has among others received
the following letters:
SAN Francisco, March 21, 1873.
To Hon. Sidney Lacey, Los angeles:
My DEAR LACEY Your letter about
the place for holding the State Con-
vention reached me in due time, and
while am disinclined to commit. my.
self positively, l will say that it will
require pretty strong arguments at the
meeting of the State Central Commit
tee to make me believe that any other
place is more suitable at this time,
and under present circumstances, than
Los Angeles.
1t looks, from the dispatches from
Washington this morning, as If Lynch
would get away with Vandever. l
hope will. Truly yours,
GEO. T. MARYE, JR.
SAN Francisco, March 2l, 1888.
Mr.. Sidney Lacey, Los angeles:
DEAR SIR-I was not member OF
the old committee, therefore not
under pledge. have done nothing
in this matter one way or the other,
except to promise Fred Cox to vote
for Sacramento, and this did before l
knew that you were going to make a
fight for the convention. Is Los An
geles is willing to concede the next con-
vention TO Sacramento. / think they
ought to let you have this one, and
shall urge them to do SO, but if they
insist cannot 60 back on my promise
From what hear think you. will get
the convention any way. Respectfully,
A. G. PAULsELL.

INDUSTRIAL and Developments
matters do not indicate any signs Of
weakness in this land of the boom. p"
Ali the brick yards in the city have
contracts for all the bricks that they
will be able to burll during the cam.
p,ign just opened. All the lime-kilns
win be pushed to their utmost to fur
nish that commodity for the new
buildings projected. If the brick.
makers and lime-burners manage
to keep ahead of the de-
mand, they will have to bestir
themselves. When we know that
brick is better than ive-dollar
pieces at $40 per thousand, the whole
story is told. That is the price
being paid for brick in the yard.
Some have kilns of 100000 bricks,
on which they ask $12 per thousand
in the yard. There are now being
prepared for a lot of the largest and
solidest business edifices ever planned
for this city. There are no blocks on
the coast which will surpass these in
any respect. One of these is now
being built on the corner of Spring
and Second streets. It will cost about
$3.50, 900. Excavations are now max
ing for another similar block on the
corner Of Fort and Second. This is to
be 12Ox165 feet area on the ground.
A third, four stories high, 45x145 on
the ground, will be begun in short
time, on the site of the old Trinity
church which used to be on Spring
street, between First and Second
This will cost $4,000. Here are
three blocks whose ground area will
be 1O0x105 feet, 120xl65 feet, and
45x145 feet, and whose total cost will
| be between $3.50. 900 and $40O, 600
III these will not do for specimen

Trains Commence Runnins This
Morning.
The dummy road from Los Angeles
to Glendale is finished at last, and all
the necessary arrangements have
been made to commence running cars
this morning. The speed at first
will not be as fast as wanted, but as
soon as the roadbed is well settled
and the rolling stock all in use, the
trip, which is seven miles, can be
made easily in thirty minutes. Com
mencing this morning, cars will leave
the Downey avenue bridge at IL
o'clock. and five trains will run each
way every day. The schedule is as
follows: From Downey avenue bridge
depot, at s and IL A. NJ, 8, 6 and :3(
p. NJ. and will leave Glendale at :3(
and 10 A. NJ, 2, 5 and z Pm. The
fare for the round trip is 80 cents.

\ Fatal BiWnder in the New
charter

Chartefs
There is a direct conflict in the pro-
pose d charter that nothing can recon-
cile. and which, should it be adopted,
will lead to serious complications.
Section of Article II. says that the
Mayor shall appoint, subject to con-
firmation by majority of the Coun-
Gil. four members of the Board OF
Health. Article XII, section ll6,
says that four citizens, three
of whom shall be physicians, shall
be appointed by the City Council!
The Board of Health is limited to four
members, with the Mayor ex-officio
President, and these four members
are to be appointed by two distinct
authorities. That is an error which
nothing can correct. The Mayor will
claim and exercise the appointing
power, and SO will the Council. We
shall therefore have two Boards OF
Health, each equally authorized by
this strange charter. 1t is easy
to see what serious complications
must arise out of conflict OF this
character. The outcome will be that
We shall have no Board at all, as
neither can operate legally. Thus
all the important public matters
committed to the charge OF this
department will remain dor
mant. We can have no street
sprinkling, no smallpox hospital, no
way in which the backyards may be
kept clean; no sanitary measures. If
the city should be threatened with an
epidemic, there would be no authority
to take steps to investigate
II. There would be no way
to legally enforce quarantine, nor
could we institute measures to
insure an efficient system OF vac
eination. There would be no official
body to receive the reports ol
physicians, and the vital statistics oi
this city could not BE officially kept
Permits for exhumation and for the
deportation of bodies could not be
issued, and the whole sanitary
machinery of the city would be out Of
Joint. We have heretofore pointed out
dangerous and manifestly impolitic
provisions in this charter, such as ought
to secure its defeat. But what is the
use of referring to them, when sc
fatal a blunder as the one regarding
the Board of Health is found in it. II
is positively discreditable, and shows
negligence on the part of its trainers
that discredits the entire performance.
There is no course left to the people
but to vote it down.

THE TAILOR.

We have just received SAC, 900 worth Of the
finest designs of and latest styles of wool.
ems manufactured expressly for us. The
patterns cannot be obtained for love or
money elsewhere. We are doing the largest
business on the Pacific Coast, having the
three largest stores in San Francisco, one
Los Angeles and one in San Diego, and as
we buy our goods direct from the manufac
turers for cash, we obtain such discount
as enables us to make suits to order fully
from 25 to 35 per cent. less than so-called
fashionable tailors. You would do well to
call and examine our immense stock and
convince yourself that our selection is the
finest on the coast, and that our prices q e
the lowest. Our motto is honest dealing,
prompt attention, perfect fit and the best OF
workmanship guaranteed or no sales.

on their price. If absolute free trade
were put in force on all other commo-
dities bought and sold here we would
be the gamers. Nor do we see how II
comes to be our duty to advocate TAX
ing money from the pockets OF ou'
own people here to pay it over for the
benefit of rich manufacturers in Penn
sylvania or New Hampshire.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

A Milwaukee Engine HI angs Over
the Viaduct Engineer Drum

What came near proving terrible ac-
cident took place last night on the Mil
waukee viaduct over Washington ave-
nue. at Eighth avenue south. AS it was,
Switch Engine No. "a was badly stove
up, the viaduct was knocked all to
pieces at the southeast end, and the
engineer, Alexander II. Drummond. has
his right arm broken at the elbow. The
engine had been used in switching
freight cars all the evening, and at 9
O'Clock started to take three cars over the
bridge. The engine was almost on the
bridge, going at pretty rapid rate,
when the engineer saw that the switch
was wrong, and that the engine would
Jump the track when it reached the
bridge. He called to the fireman, Joe
Nelson, who at once jumped and es-
his post when the engine left the rails

through the sheet iron siding
of the bridge. AS the front
wheels went through and the engine
rested ON the stringers of the bridge,
and leaning way over the side, Drum
mond jumped through the cab window
out on the tracks. AS he jumped he
struck on his feet on the ledge of the
window, causing him to fall heavily ION
to the rails, almost underneath the en-
CINE, breaking his right arm at the
elbow. He was taken to DIR. Ames'
office, where his arm was dressed. He
was then taken to his boarding place in
South Minneapolis. The wrecking
train removed the disabled engine about
midnight. The damage to the engine
and the bridge will amount to about

Gan epoch in girls life is when she

family. "I'm the father of a family

always is how to get the holes punched.
can elder sister volunteers to under
take it, and the entire family gathers to
witness the operation. The mother
holds the trembling hands of the
willing victim. One of the boys
gets an auger, and is driven from
the room with reproofs. Then sister
comes with the needle. She is shaking
from head to foot. She sets the point
of the little instrument in the velvet
flesh, lets out a little squirt of blood and
quietly faints. 1t is evident that the
operation will have to be conducted by
some one of less tender sensibilities.
lat last happy thought strikes the
father and he calls upon jeweler with
his daughter.
"I would like to get my daughter a
pair solitaires,' he says to the clerk.
''but unfortunately her ears are not

AMUSEMENT FANO1Es.

An audience of increased size wit.
messed the initial production of "Love
in Harness. at the Grand opera house
last night by the Rehan company.
Never was the fair god held in daintier
chains than those that held him last
night. ''Love in Harness. is family
party, an exquisite old couple, two mar
ried daughters, who ''tiff'' with their
husbands, and charming ingenue
waiting to be married. There is mat
life, that is a hobby with the mother,
who causes all the trouble. The comedy
is of delicate quality and highly enjoy
able. The company gave the same we'll
balanced presentation, and several re-
calls were gotten during the programme
of the comedy. The same bill will run
this afternoon at matinee and again to-
night.
The sale of seats for the Charles
Dickens readings at Armory hall next
Tuesday evening opened at Overs
music store yesterday morning and the
demand for tickets was unprecedented
for all event of this nature. People are
evidently on the tiptoe of expectation to
see and hear this son of famous father.
And it is no wonder. Is there scholar
or reader to be found, in any English
speaking country, who has not read at
least some of the great novelist's works?
''LOve in Harness." Augustine Days
comedy, will be presented at the Grand
tonight and at the matinee this after
noon for the last time. The Rehan
company, who present them, will play
at st. Paul next week.
The sale of seats for "a Parlor Match"
has opened up very briskly at the Grand
opera. The Indications are that very
large engagement will be played.
The ''ParlOr Match" Evans and
Hoey's comedy, has undergone great
number of changes, and the topical
song, 81 Remember, Forget" is said to
be a great hit.
