Billy Malone, Of Virginia, seems to be
in bad way of late. After having a
marvellous run of success, lasting for
several years, latterly he appears to have
lost his grip, SO to speak. His late over
whelming discontinue in the Chicago
convention is the most signal defeat he
has experienced during his years of po-
litical life But he will not quietly take
a back seat; he will be heard from again,
and at no distant day. He is like plover
in pond, you can't tell just where he
will bob up, but he will come to the sur
face at an opportune time and place.
This is the one southern state the Repub-
Hcans could almost certainly carry this
year if they were not hampered by quar-
rels among the leaders. The Republican
party of Virginia would be the stronger
for few funerals.

The Mills tariff bill contains thirteen
hundred and eighty-two lines. Congress
has been in session more than six
months and only about one hundred lines
of this great tariff reform measure have
been passed upon by the committee of
the whole. At the same rate of pro-
gress, counting the work to be done on
the bill after being reported back to the
house, and allowing the Democrats a
majority in the senate, it will take tif-
teen years of constant work for the great
party of reform to get this bill through
both houses. To do this it will be neces-
sary to amenk the constitution SO as to
make one congress last fifteen years and
make the term Of congressman CORE
spondingly long. Then when "the tar
nal thing gets through, if Cleveland
should still be in the executive office, he
will probably veto it. Meanwhile, what
will become Of the surplus?

VERY rarely indeed do we think it
necessary to notice bank statement in
the editorial columns of the HERALD.
but as Los Angeles has been held up as a
"busted" community, we think it well
to call attention to the statement of the
condition of the Farmers and Merchants
Bank of Los Angeles, which appears in
our advertising columns this morning.
AS against deposits OF $4, ,122, ,076.49 this
sterling institution has cash on hand to
the amount of 81 ,499, ,S5s l7-or in round
numbers million and half dollars-to-
gether with cash on call, and with
bankers in San Francisco, Chicago, New
York, London, Paris and Berlin, to the
amount of 1864, ,467.15, making the
astonishing total available cash of
81, ,494, ,325.52. Nor is this all Of
one of the most attractive bank
exhibits ever made. The paid up capital,
surplus and undivided profits of this
bank amount to 81 ,2lS, ,600.4 with loans
and discounts which foot up $2,441, $780,
21. Any one experienced in finance will
at once realize the significance of such
an exhibit. 1t is probably not surpassed
by the statement OF any bank in the
United States, and if it be an exception,
the Bank of,California will prove to be
the only exception to the broad state
ment that the proportion of cash on hand
to deposits is greater than that of any
bank on the Pacific Coast. This state
ment is alone and of itself the answer to
any arraignment of the stability and
prosperity of this section. We cannot for
bear congratulating Mr.. /. w. Hellman
and his associates on this splendid ex-
hibit.

The methods of the majority of the
Police Commissioners to destroy the
efficiency of the force will be illustrated
to-day in the forced resignation Of six
officers against whom no charge has
been preferred and who have, according
to Chief Cuddy, approved themselves
excellent men. These tried officers are
to be retired and their places filed by
extra men of little or no experience.
OF course the object is plain. The Mayor
and Mr.. Humphreys may succeed in
harrassing Chief Cuddy into resignation
but they will never succeed in convincing
the people Of this city that the public
good animates an action which is making
their power over the police force dis
turbing and demoralizing element in the
department.

THE Chicago Convention very conven-
iently saw fit to ignore the demand OF
the Republican masses and of the Re-
publican National Convention Of 1884 for
a reduction in the war tariff. The mem
bers of the grand old party were just az
clamorous in 1888 and 1884 as the Demo-
Gratis for some relief from these exhorbi-
tant tributes. While the leaders have
found it convenient to betray their
pledges and disappoint public expectation
by raising lying howl about the Demo-
cratic party and free trade, the masses Of
the Republican party feel now as they
did then. Governor McGill, w. r.
Merriam and Albert schaffer, the Repub-
lican aspirants for the nomination for
Governor Of Minnesota, are all in favor
Of low tariff, and the whole people Of
that State, irrespective Of party, feel the
same way. They do not like the declara-
tions in the Republican National platform
q particle, and would gladly have had
them Of the tenor Of the document Of
1884.

PORTLAND, July 6.-Wm. Landreth
was hanged at Dallas, to-day, for the
murder of his step-daughter, at Inde-
pendence, January Goth. He was con-
fined in prison at Salem until this morn
ing, when the Sheriff Of Polk county
arrived with wagon to take him to
Dallas. He had displayed little or no
concern at his fate until just before
reaching Dallas, when he wept profusely.
At Dallas Rev. T. T. Royal remained
about fifteen minutes with the prisoner,
praying earnestly for him. At 10 80 the
Sheriff began dressing the prisoner for
execution. and offered him some brandy,
of which he drank considerable. In re-
sponse to inquiries he repeated his form
er assertions, that he killed the girl be-
cause she ruined him in the estimation
of his neighbors. He denied having i'm
proper relst ols with her, but confessed
he was suspicious of her conduct
with others. At 1920 Landreth
was led from the cell so weak he
could hardly stand. He painfully as.
cended the scaffold steps and took q
chair on the trap where he sat with
pallid countenance, closed eyes and
chattering teeth, his lips moving as if in
prayer and his fingers nervously clutch
ing a white handkerchief, while the
Sheriff read the death warrant. Turning
to the quivering murderer, Sheriff Smith
asked him if he had anything to say, and
he answered almost inaudibly, "No
nothing" At 1927 Landreth was as.
sisted to his feet, the chair
removed and his arms firmly strapped
from behind, and his feet bound closely
together. His face was turned and the
black cap drawn over his head. The
moose was adjusted and drawn tight with
the knot under the right ear. Landreth
meantime was weakly swaying to and
fro, and had to be supported by his exc
cutioner while preparations were max
ing. Sheriff Smith then asked, care
you ready ?'' and being answered by 81
lence gave the signal to Sheriff Croisan,
who sprung the trap at l O'Clock, and
Landreth was swung into eternity. His
neck was broken instantly. His pulse
beat S5, at four minutes 100, atsix minutes
lac, and thereafter intermittent and then
ceased entirely. The body remained
motionless during the whole time, there
being no exterior evidence whatever that
life was not extinct from the first. After
having remained suspended twenty min
utes the physicians pronounced anima-
ton gone. The body was taken down
and placed in plain coffin. The crowd,
which had remained waiting patiently
waiting on the outside during the whole
time was now permitted to view the re,
mains. Women and men crowded around
the coffin and viewed the features, which
were very placid and natural in express
sion. The body was Immediately removed
to the cemetery for interment. None ol
Landreth's relatives were present in Dial.
las at the time of the execution. 1t il
noteworthy that to-day is the anniversary
of the lynching of Kelly, who killed his
wife at Mccoy. The scene of the lynch.
ing was but few yards north of that ol
the execution.

IT is an old story that '.figgers" don't
lie. The saw itself is lie, because they
can be used more deceptively than even
figures of speech. There can be true
as we'll as false presentation of figures.
When it comes to the way ex-senator
Joe Mcdonald presents them as to the
issue in Indiana it is hard to resist their
force. No one knows more about the
politics of the Hoosier State than this
old Democratic war-horse. In recent
interview at Indianapolis with corre-
spondent of the New York World SEN
ator Mcdonald gave some peculiar fig
ures as to the probable result in that
State. Harrison" said Mcdonald, lis
ga good man. He is certainly repre-
sentative Republican, but he can't car
cry Indiana. Here g the way figure
cit" and the Senator drew slip of pa
per, on which he had been making some
calculations, and resumed, "there are
"about 500, 900 voters in the State, 24O,-
1000 Democrats and 235 900 Republicans,
"and %, 900 of what may be called a
Floating vote, made up of labor, green

General Harrison is pronounced. One
"of them said to me to-day, ANY body

s'said the number of asylums ought to be
increased to accommodate U.S. This is
ga fair indication of the feeling of the
"greenbackers towards Harrison. Of
"the 10000 greenback votes I am conf

"25 900 floating votes he must get 5000
"more than we do to beat us, and don't

embodies substantially what most in
telligent people think Of the outcome in
Indiana. There can be no question
abo ut Mr.. NcDonald's reliability in an
estimate of the vote in his own State.

A LONG VOYAGE.
The COronet Arrives at San Diego In
lO5 DAYS.


SAN DIEGO, July The yacht Cor.
onet, 105 days from New York, on her
trip around Cape Horn was sighted south
of Coronado Island at A. NJ. She fred
her gun at 8 80 and anchored in San
Diego bay at 10 o'clock. r. T. Bush, oi
New York, owner of the Coronet, and
several friends Immediately went aboard
The vessel is in an excellent condition
and met with no mishap during the long
voyage. She left New York March 22nd,
and reached the equator in II days and
four hours, having sailed 1000 miles,
making from 280 to 300 miles day.
From the equator to % degrees south
she sailed with the southeast trades, but
at 40 degrees south struck contrary
battling winds. On may 4th she
struck a gale which lasted twenty
four hours, but did no damage.
1t afterwards increased to hurricane
however, blowing from northwest to
west and southwest, and for twelve
hours the yacht was in great danger.
The Captain. in order to break the sea,
threw overheard five barrels of fish-oii
and allowed cask of kerosene to run
over the decks. The entrance to the
straits of Magdalen was sighted May 9Th
in dead winter weather, the mercury being
being down to thirty-eight and forty-
three degrees. She sighted Cape Horn,
May 9th, and came around on the 18th.
She met frequent gales and sailed against
q strong head wind from the north
nearly all the way through the Pacific
from June 1st to June 18th, met battling
winds and crossed the equator on the
18th; only spoke one vessel on the entire
voyage and sailed %, 900 miles.
Captain Crosby, who sailed her out,
reports an exceedingly fine trip, although
encountering some heavy weather, and
making the run without the loss of q spar
or breaking rope. For the past thirty.
six hours she had been becalmed. about
forty miles off to sea, the only time that
the log failed to register progress on the
trip. DR.. Hubbard was the Coronet'e
only passenger.
salute OF three guns was fred on her
arrival, with the dipping of the colors on

A midni&l.t blaze.

New YORK. July 6.-Shortly before
O'Clock this morning fire broke out in the
top floor of the six story building extend
ing from 38 to 48 East Eighteenth street
street. The flames started in the book
binding establishment of Geo. w. Alex
ander on that floor and extended through
the inner part of the building. After
doing damage of $150,000, the FIRE
was under control at l 80 A. M. The
whole upper floor extending from street
to street was burned out. The rest of
the building, including all Of the fifth
floor, which was occupied by the "Cen-
tury Magazine" was deluged with water.
Almost all of the 100 guests Of the Everett
House left the building after hurried
dressing and took to other quarters. Mr..
Wilson in coming down the fire escape
with his wife and child fractured his leg.
There was no other casualty.

as against five or six stage coaches when
the writer first saw the City of the Angels.
But it is true, all the same. Go where
one will in Los Angeles county, and the
work of development is absolutely be-
wildering in its magnitude and activity.
While there have been a number of ILL
considered and premature townsite pro-
jects, which have been healthfully arrest
ed, even they, considering the settlement
and progress on every hand, will be fine
candidates for public favor in short
time. The healthy towns, like Pasadena,
Monrcvia, Santa Ana, Anaheim, and a
score Of other charming centers of devel-
opnaent and progress, are in capital state,
and ready to make the plunge forward
which the circumstances justify. Los
Angeles county the coming Fall, Winter
and Spring, will be in a condition to sell
climate and land conioined, and at prices
which will give the investor heavy
margin of profit. There will be no time
in the next hundred years in which
climate will not enter into the value of
the choice lands OF Southern California !;
and as this somewhat limited section gets
|inconveniently crowded high fancy val
ues will undoubtedly prevail. But the
fact remains that at present values are
now unduly low as they were un-
duly high six months ago, the imrnigra-
tion in splendid volume, is ready. and
the circumstances favor the buyer. The
inevitable result in increased prosperity
is at hand, as we have both climate, rail-
way and geographical and transconti-
mental values to exchange for the money
of the thronging incomers. We may con-
fidently look, from this time forward, for
a conservative and legitimate growth-a
growth which means profit for the in
vestor and an unheard of development
for the section.
