Modern Treatmeat OF Pnenmonis.

The Medical Record, referring to
some important facts recently brought
forward by DIR. Henry Hartshorne, re-
opens the question whether the mod
ern treatment Of pneumonia is fail
ure. In the Pennsylvania Hospital
from 1S45 to 1S47, when venesection
prevailed in the treatment OF pneu-
monia, only / in 16 patients died from
the disease. From 1884 to 1886 the
proportion of deaths was much greater
Il in 3.2. In the United States
Army between 1S40 to 1874, when
bleeding was a part of the treatment,
the mortality was only l in Ills,
while between 1855 and 1859, after
venesection was abandoned, the NOR
tality from pneumonia increased to l
in 6.67. The Record considers the
anti-pyretic method Of treating pneu-
monia " distinctly pernicious," but ap-
parently indorses DIR. Hartshorne's
recommendation for return to mod
crate bleeding in the early stage OF the
disease, Except on aged, asthenic, al
coholic and a few other patients.-N.

HARRISON NOMINATED.

Harrison Of Indiana has received the
Republican nomination for President.
The ballot upon which the coveted prize
was awarded him stood as follows: Har-
rison. 544; Alger. ITO; Sherman, lis;
Blaine, 5; Mckinley. 4; Gresham, SO.
His nomination will be hailed with de-
light by the Democracy from one end Of
the land to the other. But it is doubtful
IL il will create much enthusiasm in the
ranks of the party which has selected
him for its leader. By what process tif
any) of computation his supporters ex-
pect to secure enough electoral votes to
place him in the Chief Executives chair
is an enigma, not only to Democrats, but
to Republicans as well. He does not
have the ghost of a chance to carry New
York. and it would be simply ridiculous

The Times-Review was shown this
morning large chunk of ore from the
200-foot level of the Grand Prize,
which was struck recently. The
specimen exhibited is chloride, and a
perfect mass OF leaf silver with as prink-
ling Of gold. The ledge where this
was found varies from four to six feet
in width, and bids fair to open out
into one Of those extensive ore bodies
such as were encountered in former
years when the mine became and
continued for long time large divi-
dend payer. The management is
greatly elated over their strike, and
well they may be. The mill will start
up early next month, as soon as
needed repairs can possibly be made.

CHICAGO NoMINArEs BEN HARRISON.

CHICAGO NoMINATEs BEN HARRISON.
The Republican National Convention
this morning nominated ex-senator Ben
Harrison of Indiana for President. His
political history is so obscure that
neither the American Cyclopedia nor
Humans Biographical annals contains
any mention of his name. He served
one term in the United States Senate,
however, and we are willing to take the
record that Editor De Young of the San
Francisco Chronicle has given Of him,
that during his term he voted not only to
demonetize silver but to admit Chinese to
citizenship. Mr.. De Young, the editor
of the leading Republican paper of the
Pacific Coast and one of California's dele
gates, gave this information at the meet
ing of the delegates for the purpose Of
showing that Harrison could not hope to
carry single Pacific Slope State in case
he was nominated. Ben Harrison ran
for Governor of Indiana in 1876 against
Williams commonly called Blue Jeans
Williamsl, and received an overwhelming
defeat.
1t may be added, in this connection,
that the Republican element of the
Knights Of Labor and of all the other
l@bor organizations of Indiana, sent del.
ezstions to the Chicago Convention,
pleading in the strongest terms against
the nomination of Ben Harrison. They
declared that if Gresham be nominated
there might be fair show of his carrying
Indiana; but with Harrison, they
asserted. the labor organizations would
be unit for the "Red Ban1ana," and
and the Republicans might as well make
no campaign at all in that State. But
the knights of Labor and all other labor
organizations forgot that the Chicago Con-
vention was not called in the interests OF
the people at all, but in the interests of
the corporations. New York placed in
nomination a railrode candidate, and
California chose Stanford delegation.
As final compromise the convention
nominated big railroad attorney. whose
record has been in favor of putting down
all labor strikes by military power.-ya.

A New Discovery Ga the Neighbor-
hood OF wastsoe Lake.

The Virginia Enterprise says: Ed.
Harris has opened fine vein of gold
bearing quartz in the old shaft in
which some work was done in 1868.
This he calls the Old Shaft mine. 1t
is situated about 500 feet east Of his
old mine, that known as the Harris.
In the bottom Of the old shaft was a
prominent streak Of quartz about two
inches wide. Mr.. Harris ran tunnel
to the bottom OF the shaft, then fol-
lowed the vein down with an incline.
At depth of 100 feet below the sur
face he now has a vein five feet in
width. Much OF the quartz is COM
pletely filed with gold, is literally alive
with the precious metal. The deposit
into which he cut beats that in the
old Harris mine. The vein runs north
and south and shows every indication
of strength.
Mr.. Harris says there is now great
excitement in the district and the hills
are filled with prospectors. Two Ger
mans have discovered vein, which
they are holding by means OF fort
and pair of Winchester rifles. The
men have set up green cedar posts,
between which they have filled in
with rocks, thus making a very sub
stantial fertilization. This is in a sec
ton known as Jumbo District.
At the old Harris mine they have a
pay chute 26 feet in width on the lead
and Is inches in thickness that is ex-
ceedingly rich in free gold. They are
down on this to a depth Of 2l0 feet,
and it is showing increase OF strength
and richness,

naturalized as citizens. His record on
other questions is scarcely better. This

sures the election Of Cleveland and Thur
man beyond 3 doubt.-Carson Index

TO imagine that he could secure single
electoral vote from the Pacific Coast.
His whole record has been antagonistic
10 the interests Of the Slope. He voted
for naturalization of the Chinese and the
demonetization Of silver. That the peo.
pie from Colorado west will remember
this is as certain as the record of his acts.
The selection Of the Republican Conven.
ton has removed load Of anxiety from
the minds Of leading Democrats. IL was
feared that candidate would be selected
who could carry the Pacific Coast aud
have fair prospect of carrying New
York. The nomination Of Harrison has
dissipated this fear, and the legions Of
Cleveland and Thurman supporters are
assured Of the triumph OF the Democracy.

TIE CHINESE QUESTION.


The San Francisco Chronicle has the
following;
Something has been said, and much
more will doubtless be said, about Gene
raj Harrison's record ON the Chinese ques.
ton. The facts are simply these: Gene
raj Harrison, in harmony with most OF
the Senate, voted against the first Chi
nese Restriction Act, introduced into the
Senate in 1882, on the ground that it
conhicted with existing treaties; but III
1884 he favored the supplementary House
bill, which passed the Senate July 3,
1854. subsequently he was made men,
Der OF the Foreign Relations Committee,
aud an anti Chinese bill, introduced by
Senator Fair OF Nevada, was referred to
that committee. General Harrison par
ticipated in the work of preparing that
measure, and it was reported to the Sen.
ate from the committee unanimously,
General Harrison joining in the report
and voting for the bill, which was passed
without a division. The bill was warmly
commended by Senator Mitchell of Ore.
gon, who said that it was one Of the best
bills ever reported by any committee.
The fact is that General Harrison, like
great many other prominent men in the
East, Democrats as well as Republicans,
did not at first grasp the Importance Of
the Chinese question; but as soon as he
saw that the rights of American labor
and the basic principle of protection were
involved in it, he wheeled into line on
the side of America, and has ever since
been the firm and determined opponent
Of Chinese admission.

ANOTHER VERSION OF THE CHINESE
QUESTION

ANOlHEk NEkSlDN OF THE thlNESE
QUESTION.
The following is from the San Fran.
cisco Examiner:
When the Chinese question was under
discussion, the Republican nominee for
the Presidency did not follow the timid
example OF some of his party friends. He
did not hide behind q pretended regard
for treaty obligations. He stood boldly
in the open and opposed the demands of
the Pacific Coast on the merits Of the
question.
He asserted that the anti. Chinese agi.
tation sprang wholly from the sandlots,
and that Senator Miller and other local
Republican leaders who we're prominent
in that movement were the reluctant
tools of Kearney. He held that the Chi
nese had just as good right to come
here as the Germans or the Irish, and
expressed the belief that in two or three
generations they would amalgamate with
the rest of our people and form desir.
able part OF the community.
When the twenty-yoar Chinese Re.
striction bill was before the Senate Mr..
Harrison was unavoidably absent from
Washington, but he managed to get back
in time to record his vote against its pas
sage over President Arthur's veto. When
the ten-year bill came up he voted for
every amendment calculated to weaken
it, and against every amendment designed
to strengthen it. He voted to exempt
skilled Chinese laborers from exclusion.
He voted in favor of the naturalization
of Cinnamon, and on this Coast that
stand is justly considered the very last
thing for which a politician can hope to
be forgiven.
Finally, he voted against the passage
of the bill. He tried to deprive the Pa.
ciic Coast of even the poor measure of
relief afforded by the partial restriction
of Chinese immigration for ten years.
Out of seventy-six Senators only fifteen
voted against that bill, and Mr.. Harrison
was one Of the fifteen.

SOME of the up-country papers are
resorting to lying meteorological tables
for the purpose Of prejudicing the
mind of newcomers against the
weather in Los Angeles. We find
one of these in the San Francisco
Bulletin of the 18th. This places the
thermometer at noon on Tuesday,
January 10th, at 80 degrees in Los
Angeles at SO degrees in San Fran
cisco; at 80 degrees in Sacramento
and 33 degrees in Redding. How
far this is from the truth will
be seen by the reading of the
thermometer of the War Depart
ment here at noon on that day. 1t
indicated 40 degrees above zero. The
full report for that day is as follows;
At 4 :O7 A. NJ, SO degrees; at II :07,
40 degrees; at Z :07 P. NJ, 40. This
table shows lie on the part of the
San Francisco paper 8 degrees in
length. There must be malice in this
kind of persistent misrepresentation,
for it requires studious manipulation
OF the figures to produce it. When
will the up-country papers learn the
broad truth, that in trying to injure
Los Angeles they hurt their own Sec
tiOn .

All corners from the East represent
an unprecedented movement on foot
to fill up Southern California with
tourists and permanent settlers. The
fact which inspired the recent raise in
fares for passage from Missouri points
to this State is simply the inadequacy
of all present transportation facilities
to meet the demand being made on
the railroads by the army of people
pressing this way.
A resident of this city received a
letter from friend in Massachusetts
the other day, which stated that IN
one small town in the old Bay
State there were at that time no less
than seventy families who had all
their belongings packed up ready 10
depart for Los Angeles, but that they
could not begin their journey because
the railroad had no means OF trans
porting them across the continent.
As things stand now, travellers have to
take their turn to come out by cars
from many places in the Eastern
States.
One of the latest to return from the
Atlantic side of the continent is Mr..
Joseph D. Lynch, who for nearly tif-
teen years has spoken to the readers
of the HERALD through its editorial
columns. His story fully corrobo-
CRATES the tale of all who
visit the East. The interest
in this section is general. The
entire community in all parts OF the
Union delight to hear of our State,
and desire to visit it sooner or later.
Whenever one encounters an old
Californian, be it at whatever point it
may be beyond the Rockies, it will
soon be developed in half-hour's
conversation that the warmest spot
in his heart is that where his love for
California still lives. The brightest
spot in his memory is that where the
days he spent in the Golden State, by
the sunset sea, is treasured. These
old pioneers have done much
and are doing much to crea e
an interest in State which can
arouse so much enthusiasm in the
mind of those who have been absent
from her soil for twenty years.
The gist of the whole matter is that
the great hegira to the Pacific Coast
has but begun. The thousands who
come this year are but the vanguard
OF the tens of thousands who will
come next year. So in geometric
ratio the movement goes on until we
shall see here at the end of another
half decade the most densely packed
population in the country.

THE EVANGELIST,
Rev. E. p. Ham mOnd to Hold
Services Here.

Rev. E. P. Hammond, the Evangel-
list, arrived in the city yesterday and
next week will hold services in this
city in two of the churches. AS an
evidence of the benefit OF his work at
Sacramento the following letter was
drawn up and published:
eve, the undersigned, pastors of
Sacramento, desire also to express
our appreciation of the labors OF Rev.
f. P. Hammond, who has conducted
the revival services during the last
three weeks. MIR. Hammond COM
menced his labors, with the children,
and from the first his influence was
remarkable. Under his addresses,
and the personal appeals of Christians
in the inquiry meetings which fol-
lowed, many were bathed in tears,
and with bowed heads or Bonded
knees confessed their sins against
God, and yielded their hearts to
Jesus. In four days over 300 protested
Conversions and signed the covenant.
"The Pavilion, which was fitted up
to accommodate about $500 people,
has been filed with adults at nearly
all the evening services from the
commencement, and on Sunday even.
ings hundreds were turned away, I'M
able to find even so much as standing
room about the door. A general in
terest has pervaded the city, and pro-
found impressions have been made,
which We believe will never be lost,
though some may not yield at this
time.
MIR. Hammond's meth DDS of con-
Quoting his meetings are somewhat
unique, but after becoming familiar
with them, as we have during three
weeks of earnest cooperation with
him in labor, we can testify that they
have been greatly blessed by God in
the conversion of sinners.
Brother Hammond leaves Sacra-
mento in blaze of revival, and car
ries with him the love of all hearts.
Our prayers shall follow him whereve,
he goes, that he may still have many
years OF service in his Masters vine
yard, and that he may gather many
sheaves for Jesus.

THE HERALD's suggestion calls for
animadversion only for its possible
remote bearing on the office of Chief
of Police. 1t can have no present
value. What the HERALD desires is
that the Chief of Police be elected by
vote of the people. We have tried
to think our esteemed contemporary
not in earnest; but if we must regard
the suggestion as made in seriousness,
and for influence on the Freeholders,
then it is not too soon to protest against
it. The mere hint of such mode
of appointment OF Chief OF Police, is
enough to cause anxiety. Adopt that
mode, and except by the rarest acct
dent, the two worst men for the posi-
ton, in the two great parties, would
be nominated every time, and the
worse man of the two would be
elected. Sad confession, but the
truth. 1t would not be in the power
Of the "better classes" to prevent
such scandalous disposition OF the
Office. 1t is SO extremely unwise and
even dangerous a suggestion that we
shall look to see the HERALD withdraw
it or explain it away.-[Tribune.
Our contempory is as usual bi
obscure on this point. Coming as il
does in comparison with some pro
position from the Times touching the
election of a Chief of Police in the
present distress, it looks as
if the Tribune had mistaken
our advice to the Freeholders
on a general principle, as having re.
ference to the individual case now

Mr.. J. w. PORTS is contesting tine
seat in the Board of Freeholders held
Mr.. Vickrey. This and all other
questions touching that Board should
have most careful attention. By pro-
vision OF the State Constitution, the
charter, when once passed through
the Legislature, cannot be amended
for two years, and then only by a
very cumbersome process. This is the
provision referred to:
The charter so ratified may be
amended at intervals of not less than
two years, by proposals therefor, sub
mitted by legislative authority of the
the city to the qualified voters thereof
at general or special election held at
least sixty days after publication o.
such proposals, and ratified by al
least three-fifths of the qualified cleo.
tors voting thereat, and approved by
the Legislature as herein provided fol
the approval of the charter.

SOME time since citizen from Salt
Lake City returned home from visit
to Los Angeles. A reporter of the
Tribune published in the city Of the
Modern Saints, interviewed this per-
son, and he gave not very t1attering
account of this city and of the climate
OF Southern California. He thought
the seasonal changes of the climate
of Utah far preferable to the dead
level monotony of our semi-tropic
temperature. Our people will prob
ably returned the compliment by
most enthusiastic preference for
their own sunny cline in view of
the following glowing description of
those seasonable Utah changes as ex-
planned more in detail by an official
of the Central Pacific Railroad and
given in an interview published in
the San Francisco Post of recent date
]. A. Fillmore told me yesterday
that the railroad people had never so
many difficulties to encounter in the
way of cold as they have had lately.
He tells me that the Central Pacific
has eight engines frozen up at Kelton
and four engines in another small
place on the line.
"The cold," says he, "in Utah is
something terrible; and the cattle on
| the ranges are suffering fearfully.
| The cold weather drives the cattle
out of the mountains, and they bunch
upon our railroad lines because the
passing trains make the country
along the track warm, and there is
not so much snow. Our men have
had to stop the trains and drive the
cattle off the track. In some instan.
ces they have had to kill the cattle
and drag them off the track before
the trains could proceed. There
are thousands of cattle
punched up along the
railroad tracks. " From this, ii
would appear that next year we shall
be suffering from cattle famine. The
more one thinks of it the more is one
inclined to believe that there is not
much money in the cattle business on
this Western slope. A gentleman
who has been travelling through
Manitoba and the other British
Provinces says that when in Canada
in October, beef cattle which were tc
be shipped to England, were selling
at $50 head. Rather different tc
what it is in the cattle countries Of
California and Oregon, where fine
fat cattle have been bought on the
range for $18 and 500 a head. Anc
the raisers thought they were lucky
