tress to the people, while at the same
time trade would have been vitalized and
enterprise encouraged by the expendi-
lures which would have attended such
programme.
The advice of Mr.. Tilden is Just as
good for the Democratic party now as it
was on the day he formulated it. 1t is
just now possible that the Democracy
may have a majority in the next House
of Representatives, althoughit is scarcely
probable. At all events, the margin will
be so slight that, with its expert
enced leaders, the Democratic party
can very we'll hope to shape the
course Of legislation. If it shall recur to
Mr.. Tilden's sagacious counsels it can
lay the foundations for an immediate
Democratic restoration to power. In the
next Congressional elections it will be
aided by the celebrated "off year." in
which all the resentments to General
Harrison's administration will have
gathered head. In addition, it will have
done inestimable things for the country.
The time has come when the United
States should no longer be at the mercy
of even Insignificant powers. For years
past we have sung small on the Monroe
doctrine because even France, Italy and
Germany have navies far in excess of
cur own. Our maritime cities are at the
mercy OF any of the leading Euro
pean powers. Two years ago
"a prominent officer in the
United States Navy wrote an article in
popular magazine in which he demon
strated that it would require five years
even to create the plants needed to cast
the ordnance now used in the leading
navies of the world. His article was an
emphatic endorsement of Mr.. Tilden's
timely letter.
The Democratic leaders should apply
themselves to the creation of navy, to
the erection of Notifications and to Civ
ing the country tbs public buildings, and
other public conveniences needed in a
progressive nation, which only requires
the adoption OF liberal and comprehen-
sive policy to control the affairs of the
world in few years. Whatever surplus
which may be shown to exist in the
national treasury ought not to be wasted,
but ought to be used for the aggrandize-
ment and protection of the republic.

Tllden,s True Keynotes.

One OF the most sagacious figures in
the whole range of American affairs was
the late Samuel j. Tilden. He had
sounded the whole gamut of our politics;
and he belonged in the Democratic party
to that wing of the organization which
furnished the leaders for all the dominat-
ing factors in our national concerns, and
which even supplied the Republican
party with the Chases, Trumbulls an d
other potential men, who figured during
the Civil War. As q potent leader of
New York politics Mr.. Tilden never had
a superior. He is properly classed, with
equal rank, with De Witt Clinton, Martin
Van Buren,, Silas Wright, William L.
Marcy, and one or two other New York
statesmen who have never had
their superiors in the history
of constitutional government. No man
has ever understood the Empire State
more thoroughly than the Sage of Gram
ercy Park. At all stages of the political
history of that State his touch was that of
a master hand. He was the Chairman of
the Democratic State Central Committee
of New York when Horatio Seymour ran
for President against Grant in 1868, and
Horatio received the electoral vote of New
York. His was the vigorous initiative
which rescued New York from the wreck
and ruin of the Tweed-Sweeney- Connolly
Tammany regime. His own personal
triumphs in carrying New York for Gov
ernor first against Gen. John A. Dix and
secondly for President against Hayes were
monuments both of his personal popular
ity and of the supremacy Of his ideas. In
connection With Tilden the words personal
popularity are perhaps misnomer. His
was the sort of popularity which Thomas
Jefferson enjoyed-the popularity rather
OF man who formulates intelligent and
reformatory ideas than that of partizan
who conciliated people by any force of
personal magnetism.
During the later days of his life Mr..
Tilden addressed to President Cleveland
a letter in which he outlined q pro.
gramme which, if it had been loyalty and
cordially followed up, would have given
the Democracy an overwhelming victory
during the late campaign. He pointed
out the fact that the United States, al
though of the first significance in the
affairs of the world, had unprotected
coasts of tremendous extent and
a vastly inadequate navy to support
it's pretensions. He dwelt upon
the paramount necessity of REM
edying this state Of things. The
wisdom Of his advice was reinforced by
the fact that surplus was accommodating
in the United States Treasury which ad-
mitted Of our creating Notifications,
armaments and navy without any dis

Tne New Year,s ssHeraid.''


THE New YEAR's HERALD will be one
of the most interesting publications ever
issued in Southern California. We shall
print a mammoth edition Of that number,
and have already received extensive
orders for copies from the East.
In addition to the presentation OF the
yearly statistics Of the county and the
section, it will contain great mass OF
carefully prepared matter upon the re-
sources, attractions, advantages and
possibilities of our county. 1t will show
where lands can be had for all prices,
from the lowest to the highest. 1t will
illustrate the capacity and value of our
soil by showing what has been and what
is being done. No subject of interest to
the fastener who is looking for a home
will be omitted.
THE NEW YEARS HERALD will be ex-
tensively read everywhere, and will
exercise decisive influence upon persons
abroad who think OF coming to Cali
fornia in choosing this section to settle
in. We are taking especial pains to make
this issue complete in every detail relating
to the advantages which this county
offers to the newcomer. This is in line
with the good and effective work the
HERALD has done continuously for fifteen
years. 1t has always taken hopeful
and optimistic view Of Los Angeles and
Southern California. Even in times
of the greatest depression, the HER
AID has insisted that a county
30 richly gifted as ours-with an incom-
parable soil and a delicious climate
with mountains of unapproachable
grandeur, valleys Of matchless fertility,
and scenery such as is unsurpassed for
its beauty and picturesqueness- we
always insisted that such advantages
would in the end make our
county and section the Mecca
Of the worlds health.seekers
and the goal of all who desired to live in
q soft and salubrious climate, where the
minimum of labor would secure the maxi
mum of results. Our prophecy has been
fulfilled. The past six years have wit
messed wonderful change not only
in Los Angeles, but in every city
in Southern California. People are
focking here from all parts Of the Union
and Europe. From village our city
has grown into metropolitan proportions,
and the population of our whole section
has Occupied in the past few years.
This movement must be kept up. We
have room here for millions OF industri-
GUS and energetic people. Our lands
will support them in princely style, and
our possibilities in commercial and in
dustrial development are unlimited.
The HERALD continues the good work
it began in 1874, and will continue it to
the end. Orders for the New Years
edition should be sent in at once.

BOYS OF THE TaRoTTLE VALVE.
Their Big Convention at Chicago
fn Session.

fn Session.
CHICAGO, December 29.-The represen-
tatives of the various divisions of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
continued their session to-day. 1t is
generally believed here that there is a
strong and growing disaffection among
the Brotherhood of Engineers on western
roads where the classification system is
in vogue, and that unless change ie
soon made in the mileage system q big
strike will be inaugurated. The classif.
cation system was the cause of the
trouble on the Burlington road. One oi
the delegates to the present meeting said
to reporter to-day, that the statement
to the effect that the Brotherhood would
cease giving the Burlington strikers
financial assistance after January 1st, is
absolutely false.
AFTER THE 50" STRIKE HAD BEEN THOR
OUGHLY DISCUSSED
To-day, special Grievance Committee
of nine visited the general officers of the
Burlington road and were closeted for
half an hour with Vice-President Stone
and General Manager Ripley. After the
visitors had departed he said: "The
gentlemen simply came to ask if it would
he convenient for us to receive them on
Monday and hear what they have to say.
They desire conference, and simply
wanted to know ii we would give them a
hearing"
"Did you grant the request?" asked
the reporter.
Certainly. We can't refuse to hear
them. That does not indicate, OF
course, that we have any intention OF
changing our position. They did not tell
us what they are coming here for, and
we do not know whether they are going
to ask any concessions of us or not"
This was all Mr.. Ripley had to say,
but it was more than any member of the
Grievance Committee would vouchsafe.
A delegate to the convention who is not
a member of the committee claims that
the committee submitted proposition to
the company--"The Brotherhood's 3
Terms" he called it, and they are to re.
turn Monday for an answer.

New YORK, December pa local pa
per says that Notwithstanding carefully
studied efforts to keep the fact from the
public knowledge, it has leaked out that
DR.. Alexander Mcdonald, General Sup
erintendent of the insane asylum on
Wards Island, has become insane. 1t
is hoped the afiliction is only tempo
rary, and that the once bril-
laint mind of the great spe-
cialist will be restored to its normal
coalition, but the prospect atthe present
time is not encouraging. DIR. Mcdonald
for many years has been one of the uni.
versally recognized authorities in this
country on the subject OF insanity and
its treatment. 1t seems like true expo
sition of the irony of fate that he himself
should have been visited with an afflic-
ton that no one was supposed tc
know better than he how to cure
DR.. Mcdonald was one of the experts
whose testimony convicted Guiteau, the
assassin of President Garfield, and it is
noteworthy that he is another of those
who participated in that trial and who
have apparently fallen under the ban oi

singular Operations Of Man
Named Cooper.
A very queer proceeding, which looks
very much like confidence game, or an
attempt to play one. occurred Friday.
No. 636 South Main street has sign
"Rooms to Let" displayed, and on Fri
day morning the lady of the house was
called to the door, where young man
stood. He enquired for rooms, and after
looking through the house said his name
was Cooper, but that he could not decide
as to whether he would take room
until the next day. In about an hour
he returned and requested the landlady
to say that he was out in case anyone
should call. About noon he returned in
company with an elderly gentleman who
inquired for Mr.. Cooper. The landlady
was somewhat astonished to see
the man who asked her to
say be was out standing alongside
of the man who wanted to see him, and
suspecting something wrong said she did
not know Cooper. Cooper then spoke
up and said: "Come to think Of it.,
Cooper told me he was going riding to-
day." The old gentleman then wrote a
message on card and handing it to the
landlady requested her to give it to Mr.
Cooper when he came in. An hour
later Cooper returned to the house and
demanded the card, but the landlady re-
fused to give it to him. He demanded
it again, and she gave it to him and told
him never to come near the house again.
Just as she was reaching the card out to
him he said: "There's $50 in, this for
you" She shut the door in his face,
and when her husband returned told
him, and the matter was reported at the
police station. A lookout is being kept
to find, if possible, the kind OF game
that is being played.
