All Along the Line.

The Democratic campaign will be
opened tomorrow night throughout the
State. Good speakers have been ap-
pointed to every precinct, and the an
nouncements for the principal places in
this county are of gentlemen who are
able to make clear, intelligent and elo-
quent presentations of the issues of the
campaign. In this city the meeting will
be addressed by Mr.. G. r. B. Hayes, Of
San Francisco, and Mr.. Charles F.
Humes, of San Diego. Mr.. Hayes is one
of the most forcible and logical speakers
in the State. He is the gentleman who
covered himself with forensic laurels in
the great Cotton case at Santa Rosa two
years ago. He will shed food of intel
lectual light upon the great questions be-
fore the people. Mr.. Humes comes &C.
credited from San Diego as close rea-
soner and a most interesting speaker.
Let the people of all shades Of opinion
attend this meeting.

We BELIEVE that the next election wi

WE BELIEVE that the next election will
open the eyes Of our Republican friends
to the wonderful delusion they now labor
under about the complexion of the vote
of this county. They have looked upon
Pasadena as their Gibraltar, and yet when
the vote is counted they will find that
the Democracy, even there, is in the as
cendant. A close canvass OF South Pass-
dena shows that out Of the 105 registered
voters in that precinct, 60 are Democrats,
20 Republicans and the rest Prohibi-
tionists. The voters of Pasadena proper
number 1,100 in round numbers, and
we are assured by gentle.
man who lives there that of
this aggregate the Democrats will poll
475, the Prohibitionists between three
and four hundred, and the Republicans
the rest. Estimates like these are OF
value. If the Democrats can get away
with or hold their own in Pasadena, they
can surely look forward to a victory in
the rest of the county.

gent discussion cannot but lead to its en-.
dorsement by every man who earns
his living by the sweat of his face. If
that policy had controlled the legislation
of the country during the last quarter of
q century, millionaires would not have
enormously enriched themselves out of
the proceeds of the industries of the
country. There would have been such
division between the earnings of labor
and the gains of capital as would
have left no such wide dis
crepancies between the wealth of indi-
viduals as is now seen. The Republican
high tariff has insidiously taken money
out of the pockets of the wage-earners
and placed it in those of the men who
have been enormously subsidized by high
tariff legislation. The more the work.
ingmen reason together, the more they
will see that the Democratic policy is es-
sentially in their interest.

THE Presidential situation was .

THE Presidential situation was put in
very neat way in our hearing yesterday
by a Republican. He said, in substance,
that Blaine was stronger man than
Harrison, that Cleveland had beaten
Blaine and he did not see why he
couldn't beat Harrison. This would
seem to the average man to hit the nail
on the head and drive it home. 1t is
what is popularity known as clincher.
1t is reinforced by the HERALD's favorite
idea that faithful and efficient public
official is very rarely cashiered,
especially where the people have the say
SO. He added that the only qualification
of his opinion was the tariff issue, and
he didn't know what either party gained
or lost most by that feature of the fight.
He also said that in recent visit to
New York he had ascertained that
the Republicans of that State regarded
Blaine as enormously strong, and the
Democrats drew a breath OF relief at the
failure of the Chicago Convention to
nominate him. In Michigan our Repub-
lican informant found CONSERVATION
amongst the Republicans, with a very
good chance of Harrison losing that
State. These are very much such opin-
ions as a sagacious man would hold who
had traversed the United States. We
give them for the benefit of great
many Republicans who are living in a
FOOLS Paradise.

A Bocrish Assault.

The high water mark of indecency was
reached in an editorial of the Times of
yesterday in which Mr.. Cleveland is re-
ferred to as "a very good man to discuss
schooner OF beer with" Ordinarily a
thing Of this kind would be dismissed
with contempt by any person of intelli-
gence, but as applied to the Chief Magis-
trate of the United States it calls for re-
buke. In this same Jakey article Mr..
Cleveland is described as having left his
home, the City of Buffalo. He undoubt-
edly did leave Buffalo, but not before he
had served as the Sheriff of the county
in which Buffalo is situated, and as
Mayor Of the city Of Buffalo as well. The
Times says:
What peculiar spectacle is furnished
the Presidential chair. Here is man
who has abandoned the city in which he
has lived the greater part of his life as a
home. The reason assigned for this is
that he has had no such political backing
there as he desired. Such a thing
scarcely ever happened before in the case
VI al Amc1ACdu IcSAuout. OuJ IL Olevo-
land is dissatisfied with Buffalo the citi-
zens Of that city fully return the compli-
ment.
1t is very true that Mr.. Cleveland left
his home in Buffalo. But how did he
leave it? Most men who had been elected
Governor of the State Of New York by a
majority Of 192, 900 would have been con-
tent to change residence in Buffalo for
one in Albany. We cannot discover any
particular hardship in such a change
any violence to the feelings Of President
Cleveland or any lowering Of the estima-
ton in which he was held by his fellow
citizens. Most people would recognize
sufficient provocation for a change of
residence in such an incident.
But Mr.. Cleveland not only left Buf-
falo, but he left Albany, as we'll. In
both cases his change of residence was
compulsory. Compelled to leave Buf-
falo by the 1000 majority by which
he was elected Governor of New
York, he was obliged to leave
Albany by majority of thirty-seven
votes which he received over Blaine in
the Electoral College for President. In
both cases he stood not upon the order Of
his going, but went ct once. Who would
not 70 have gone?

High and Low Tariff.

The taxes on whiskey and tobacco 60
directly into the Treasury, while the
taxes on foreign manufactures which re-
strict the importation of foreign articles,
and, consequently increase the price oi
the home product to the consumer, event
ually flow into the pockets of private in
dividuals, or are wasted and lost in the
shuttle.
The act of 1872 made horiz ontal re-
duction of ten per cent. upon manufac.
lures Of cotton, wool, leather, iron, paper
and glass. Three years later that act
which was introduced and urged by
Dawes and Blaine, was repealed. We
know by what influences. In 1880 Nor
rison, Of Illinois, introduced his hori-
xontal tariff reduction bill. This was
denounced by the same men who sup
ported IN exactly similar bill when
fathered by Blaine and Dawes.
The measure of ~ was purely Re-
publican measure. If 1t was right to re-
duce the tariff 10 per cent. in 1872, how
can Il be wrong to reduce it per
cent. in 1888? The best Constitutional
writer's deny the power Of the Govern
ment to collect taxes for any other pur-
poss than the support Of the government.

A FINE DRIVE.
a Good Boulevard Circuit Just
Opened.

a Good Boulevard Circuit Just
Opened.
There is no reason why Los Angeles
should not have as fine drives in her
environs as any city in the world. Our
situation is superb for beautiful suburban
boulevards, and there are few cities that
possessso fine stretch of hills overlook
ing SO splendid a valley, and through
which excellent driveways could be
made at comparatively slight expense.
We are beginning now to realize, OF
course, in not very extensive way, the
benefits OF street and avenue improve
ments, which enable those who keep car
riages or buggies to take pleasant short
of Mission road on the cast side, and
length of East Los Angeles to Daily
enables one to perform the circuit
OF the city IN a very pleasant
manner. If We cross the river at First
street, drive along Also avenue to the
Mission road, thence along Griffin
avenue to Downey, along that avenue to
one of the cross streets and thence to th g
Buena Vista street bridge, coming back
into town over Buena Vista street, we
have drive of about three miles, nearly
all the distance over an excellent and
well-kept road. This is indeed most
pleasurable drive, not only on &C.
count of the good roads one drives
upon, but on account Of the fine views
to be had from tho elevated positions one
passes over. Los Angeles valley and the
hill portion of the city look splendid from
the heights of Also avenue on the east
side, and the low portion of the city, and
East Los Angeles and Boyle Heights
present very fine views from the elevated
parts of Buena Vista street.
But OF course, Los Angeles is not con
fined to this excellent drive. Hill street,
Grand avenue, Flower and Figueroa,
Adams and Washington streets and Agri
cultural Park, all are attractive road
ways. to let a fine horse out upon. Incon-
venience is found in many of our streets
that would otherwise be pleasant to drive
over if the city authorities had been more
economical and circumspect in their
street railroad franchises. In some not
over wide east-and-west streets the CITY
has permitted the railroad companies to
put down double tracks with SO wide a
space in the centre as to really not
leave carriage room on either side. And
then they have permitted the companies
in many places to put down the T rail
and let it project so high above the road
way as to be q terror to drivers. These
are drawbacks, however, that will be
remedied in time. The fiat rail should
alone be allowed in our streets, and the
companies should be compelled either to
conform to the existing grade, or if it is
above the level of the street to graduate
the road on either side so that the tracks
would not project above the driveway.
We look forward to the day when Los
Angeles will have as fine drives as
Chicago, New York, or even Paris, and
the road from the Place de Ia Concorde
to the Bois de Boulogne and the Cascades
is, in our estimation, the most charming
carriage way possessed by any city in the
world.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-08-24

No CITY in the Union possesses so
many or such fine watering places,
easily accessible to her population, as
Los Angeles. During the summer months
our people have a delightful round of re-
sorts to go to where they can either cam p
or live at the very excellent hotels that
have grown up in them. Santa Monica,
as seaside place, is unsurpassed
for its attractions. With a fine
and safe beach for bathing, it
possesses beautiful drives and many
interesting points to visit. The Soldiers
Home, in the near vicinity, will in a
short time become one of the most attrac-
tive places to visit on the Continent.
Long Beach is another in, iting seaside
resort, where one can emily the sea air
and disport in the surf. Many of our peo-
pie find great pleasure in spending
their summers vacation at San
Pedro, and families in the interior and
the southern part of the county make
Anaheim Landing, Newport, Laguna and
other points on the southern shore their
camping grounds. Redondo Beach has
become quite popular resort this sum-
mer, and it has had its share of visitors
and campers. Since Catalina Island has
been furnished with good hotel, a
vast number Of people have spent their
vacation at that charming spot. The
beach is dotted with the tents of campers,
and coignes of vantage on the hillsides
have been seized upon by wealthy citi-
zens for the erection Of cottages, some of
them elegant and costly. The advantage
of Catalina is the stiffness of the water,
which makes swimming and bathing alb
solutely safe,-and the excellent fish
ing to be had there. Those who
do not care to visit the seaside or the
island, and prefer the foothills and
mountains, have only to pick and choose.
The Sierra Nevadas, in all their extent,
offer us no more picturesque or attractive
hooks, or more sublime scenery, than
can be found in our Sierra
Madre range. What godsend
it would be to Eastern cities
if their sweltering hosts could reach
such cool and splendid natural resorts
as we are blessed withal. What a bless
ing it would be to them could they jump
on car and in couple of hours 60 to
San Juan by the sea, or to the San An
tonic Canon. or Elsinore on the lakes, or
our noble mountains with their weird
dells and beautiful valleys!

A Noted Paris Club Gambler.

One of the best-known figures at the
baccarat table of famous Paris club has
just passed away in the person OF Baron
de Bastart. He was sixty years old, and
had spent the greater part of his life in
gambling. Every afternoon at O'Clock
the Baron went punctually to his club,
and played steadily until O'Clock on
the following morning, with but brief
intervals for dinner and supper. One
would think that man who gambled
80 steadily and persistently should some
times rake in some considerable sums,
but, strange to relate, the Baron was
never known to win. He was very
wealthy, owing to lucky mining
speculations, and did not know the
extent of his means. His pas
sion for play and his extraordinary ILL
luck made the fortune of his club. as we IL

In this frame Of mind M. Bastart would
run after his friends and implore them
to stay just for another hand. He

and those who divested themselves Of
their overcoats and returned with him to
the ''green tables" were never sorry for
having remained with the venerable

AN editors life seems TO be a tolerably
happy one in the neighborhood of Rock
Springs. In the last number of the
Miner, of which the Hon. Bob Smith is
now the industrious editor, we find a
couple of columns describing a recent sky
larking tour of that gentleman in search
OF recreation and prairie chickens. That
the editor is treated with a good deal Of
hospitable consideration by the ranchmen
is quite evident from the following clip.
ping: We were gathering up the dead
chickens when Billy Mcknight, wife and
family, Mrs. Dresser and her children.
came along in his wagon homeward
bound. Frank GOODMAN, at whose ranch
they stopped over night, was plotting
them a short way on their Journey. and
he dropped off to chat with us. He was
not overchoice in his language because he
was dIspleased at our not making his
house our home for the night previous.
Being not well versed in ranch etiquette,
we hope Frank will harbor no ill will
against us, for we meant no disrespect to
him. We went to camp put and were
trying to do it with all the diligence and
accuracy at our command"

1t was Fourth of July. BE had been
lnhaling q good deal of powder smoke.
So he said. 1t was not liquor; he said
the fumes of the firecrackers had gone to
his head. They had not bereft him of
reason. He knew he had a wife and fam
lily. When n man gets to his fullest ca
pacity of ~inebriation, when he has for
gotten where he lives. who is with him,
whether it is Tuesday or Saturday, or
what his name is, he will still remember
that his wife has to be reckoned with.
He knew that there was trouble ahead,
and he was thinking of all sorts of queer
excuses for his condition as he wandered
to and fro looking for a hack to take him
home. At last he came across q dingy
looking machine standing in solitary dig
nifty at the corner of & quiet street. He
was not so far gone that he could not di-
rect the driver where to take him. 1t
was some way out in the suburbs. The
hack drove along, and as he bumped from
back to front in the usual cratic way one
does In a hack, he tried hard to make up
his mind what he would say to his wife
when he got home.
There came a very lively bumb that put
an end to his musing, for when he came
down he found the bottom had fallen out
of the hack and the seat had come to
pieces, so he could only grasp hold of the
two doors and run with the machine. He
yelled at the driver, but the driver was
deaf, and for half a mile he had to move
as fast as his legs would go. He did not
need any xcu when he got home. He
was sober; so terribly sober that he had
forgotten he had had anything to drink at
all. He was mad-well, mad is O mild
word-but he was knocked speechless
when the hackman, after looking earnestly
into the hack, instead of offering an
humble apology, turned on him and said:
''Say, what in thunder have you done
with the bottom of my hack2"
And whenever his wife wants anything
she asks him in the blandest tone:

tom of that hack2"-San Francisco Chron-
