Glendale.

EDfTED BY BELLE MEADE SMITH.
Glendale,
affords one OF the most striking illustra-
tions of the phenomenal growth Of South
ern California. The ride to and from it
on the pretty, new Dummy line, is ex-
tremely pleasant traversing as it does q
flne section of the country, and ultimate
~ leading to the bright little town above
named. Glendale is beautifully situat-
cd ia an extended valley walled in by
hills and mountains and is a. diversified
collection of decorated cottages. How
ever, the Glendale Hotel which stands
upon q slight eminence, is the conspi-
cious feature of the place. 1t is an inn
posing three story edifice, and its exte-
fiur is highly but tastefully ornamented.
Like most other recent structures
It does not appear to be distinguished by
/. any particular style of architecture; but
Is Z graceful commingling of much that
Is striking in design. The hotel contains
about hundred rooms and is equipped
with all of the modern improvements. 1t
has q we'll appointed dining room, a
handsomely furnished parlor and pleas
) ant billiard and card rooms. The stair
ways are broad and cheerful, and upon
both the second and third floors hose
closets have been arranged as protec-
lion in case of possible fire. The house
ID we'll provided with bath rooms, and q
set Of electric bells responds to summon
efs from all of the rooms. Most of the
chambers are en- suite and are furnished
with the utmost taste and elegance.
The hotel Is crowned by cupola,
from which diversified and
extended view can be obtained.
All things considered, indeed, it is little
wonder that Glendale is such popular
hummer resort, while 1t must be admit
ted that the hotel is a dignifed affair,
which must Of necessity proddce 9 de-
cided impression upon the many tourists
who are expected to visit next winter.
Two Republics.
'Look here upon this picture, and on this"
Despite the dissimilarity of their histo-
ries and people, a prevailing love Of lib
erty is the bond which at all times and
under all circumstances binds France
and America together. Yet even the
French and the American conceptions Of
liberty are as distinct as are the
French and the English languages. They
paint the portrait of this free-born god
dess in vivid but perishable colors that
usage soon defaces; we clothe her in the
practical garments Of everyday life.
They deafen her with shouts of ''Vive
h republique !" we pay her little or no
verbal homage, but by actions that
speak more eloquently than words give
her to understand that we will defend
her with our hearts blood. The Repub-
lie Of America is the child of patriotism
and truth, and has not the slightest faint
OF illegltimacy in its blood. The Govern
ment Of the United States is
not the result Of usurpation, I'M
Bcrupulous ambition, or dethroned
monarchy; 1t is, to the contrary,
the outgrowth Of secure and peaceful
possession Of territory to which none but
the Indians--a verminous horde doomed
by all physical and moral laws to exter-
mination--posseH any absolute claim.
The Revolution, too, was, when contrast
ed with other wars, an open and humane
combat. 1t was bloody and It was bold,
but in it's Justice and its policy it was as
well magnanmous. The Rebellion also,
characteristic as it was, was but bitter

pun ednheritance. 1t was, unhappily,
brother against brother, friend against
friend but IL was devoid Of the intoler-
ance that stigmatized the French revolt,
and that without reason or mercy con-
denned favorite after favorite, and leader
after leader, to the guillotine. The his
tory of America, in fact, is not recital
Qfwars in which the welfare of nations is
sacrificed to the ambitious greed OF one
or two military or political monopolists !,
neither is 1t succession OF biographical
Of royal libertines and illustrious, but
abandoned women. To the contrary, it
Il voluminous chronicle OF advanced
civilization in which the locomotive and
the printing press play more conspicuous
parts than usurpers and assassins. Such
B history is not replete with the fantastic
interest and the romantic and chivalric
horrors Of the more emotional and war
like times and nations; but il is TO the
world and humanity boon that cannot
be too highly valued. On the other
hand, tempesttost France with iis
breathless succession of events, and its
galaxy Of remarkable men aud women I;
Is as insecure and uncertain as 1t Is
fascinating. Moreover, 1t is 80 inoon-
gistent that few OF its parts can
be closely fitted together. It is
no difficult matter, indeed, to trace the
origin Of its outbursts TO financial or poll
tical causes, but 1t is utterly impossible
~ reconcile many OF It's events. The
magnificent OF the reign OF Louis XIV
and the abject misery OF Louis XVI, pre-
) oentpf themselves contrast as painful
a. 1t IL strange. Later ON, tho horrible
kaleidoscope evolved out Of the reign OF
terror and In which Is depicted in death
les colors, the marvellous characters
born Of that marvellous epoch, bursts
upon the startled vision. Finally Ma
poleon springs from the army to the
throne, and despite all the blood that has
boen shed for liberty, the monarchy is
restored. American soil could never
have rnatured Napoleon for the exor-
bitance Of his egotism and monopoly
would have made him hateful 10 the par
iIeans OF all political creeds and classes.
Had he risen up In the United States,
and in all the might OF his littleness
sought to become its arbiter, be would at
cnce have been understood aud con-
demned. He would not, 1t Is true, have
been exiled or beheaded for treason, but
be would have been shorn Of every atom
81 power and thereby rendered harmless.
