his taxes, pleading the statute of limi-
"tations. Has the HERALD forgotten this !?
I'VE believe that Mr.. Tilden was a DEM
"ocrat.". The charge that Mr.. Tilden
ever refused to pay his taxes is one of
those wretched Republican roor-b backs
which failed to do good service in the
campaign of 1875. That great statesman
discharged all the duties of patriotic
citizen OF the United States. The statute
which imposed an income tax
during the early years of the war allowed
the citizen the privilege either of swear
ing to his own income or allowing the as
assor to make the appraisement. 1t was

made provisions in his will Which have
placed the country under obligations to
him. He was typical Democrat.

THE indications continue to multiply
that Harrison will fail to carry his own
State. The defections are widespread
and determined. The Epeninq Bulletin
and Indiana Post, both leading Repub-
lican journals, the latter the organ Of the
German population Of Southern Indiana,
have bolted the Republican ticket out
right. Harrison's pronounced Temper
ance views have alienated the German
vote as an entirety, and his attitude on
labor is having a disastrous influence
against him with the Workingmen. The
Hon. Fred w. Cook, the President OF
the Freedom and Right Society, and
hitherto prominent and respected Re-
publican leader, has openly come out in
favor of Cleveland and Thurman. Ex-
perienced observers put the Democratic
majority in the Hoosier State this year
at 10, ,0O0-scarcely an extreme figure

rison was beaten for Governor by ''Blue

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Senate
conference report in the Postoffice appro.
priation bill was presented. The item
for postoffice clerks for unusual business
is fixed at % 900 instead of $4,000. The
item as to rent, light and fuel for third
class postoffices is retained, with the pro-
viso that no contract for rent for such
postoffices shall be for more than one
year. The item as to postage on seeds
is fixed SO as to make the postage one
cent for every two ounces.
On the amendment known as the sub.
sidy clause, the Conference Committee
have been unable to agree. After ex
planation by Plumb the report was
agreed to, and Plumb moved that the
Senate insist upon the subsidy amend
ment. After long debate, embracing
the subject of subsidies, tariff and the
shortcomings of both political parties
the motion to insist on the amendment
was agreed to; yeas %, nays 16.

aged by the Flood.
WHEELING, W. Va, July 1.-THE rise
in the Valley river at Grafton yesterday
from the rains of the past two days was
unprecedented, and to the lumber inter-
ests of this section is disastrous. Thou
sands of logs were swept away, booms
destroyed and mills near the river badly
damaged. Several buildings were
washed down the river and crush ed to
atoms when they struck the iron railroad
bridge here. The flood so far is more
disastrous to Grafton than the fire of a
year ago, and the loss to the town and
section will not fall far short Of
$3.50, 900. The damage at Rowles-
burg will reach $125, 1000. Around
Parkersburg the railroads have been
badly washed out. In all directions
farms are flooded and hundreds of acres
Of growing crops and harvested grain
deluged. Millions of feet of timber are
afoat in the swift current, going to de-
struction. Every stream is out of it's
banks and number of families have had
to move to higher ground. The losses
are estimated at 100000. At Clarksburg
twenty houses were carried away and an
innumerable amount of property ruined.
Last night was o night of terror. The
water reached its highest stage at I
o'clock, and by those who remember the
flood of 1852 it is considered that it en-
tirely surpasses it. The loss to the town
and county can not even be estimated. !.
but it is very heavy.

the first production in this city of Gilbert

highly amusing situations, land the libretto
is written in Gilbert's best vein, while
some of the vocal numbers are classed
among Sullivan's best efforts. The
members of the company are said to be
we'll up in their parts and the evening
promises to be an enjoyable one. The

The Tax Collector.

Readers OF the HERALD are aware thai
the late very efficient county tax collec.
tor, ]. A. Crawford, has resigned his of.
fice. This will be regretted by all who
have had any business with
the office since Mr.. Crawford's
iincumbency. There is some consolation.
however, in the fact that a Competent
and honest Democrat will be appointed
by the Board Of Supervisors to fill the
place. 1t is rumored on the street that
Mr.. Omri Bulls has the inside track for
the vacant position. Mr.. Bulls will adj
minister the Office in most excellent
style. il he wins the prize.

A BOULEVARD on the scale of that of
Chicago is one of the great necessities of
the day in Los Angeles. 1t should be
wide and planted with trees, a double row
in the middle and row on each side.
The roadway should be made smooth
and durable. 1t ought to run to Santa
Monica on the west side of the city and
to Pasadena and further on in the San
Gabriel Valley to the north and east.
1t would cost money to create such a
source of pleasure to our people, but it
would be returned hundred fold during
the next ten years. The plucky inhabit-
ants of Riverside have created in Mag,
nolia avenue one of the most beautiful
drives in America. A great community
like the city and county of Los Angeles
by united effort could make boule-
ward in few years that would be the
talk of the continent.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-12

MATTERS are assuming very serious
phase at Chicago. Mr.. Arthur has said
that if his advice had been followed
the Brotherhood of Engineers would
have no act to regret. The labor ele-
ment is most happy in the possession OF
leaders like Mr.. Powderly and Mr.. Arthur.
The closer friends of labor stick
by the conservative and wise counsels of
these men, the better it will be for them
and for their own cause. Should the in
cipient riot reported at Chicago last night
grow to head, such an occurrence
would ALLEVIATE much sympathy from
those who are contending for their
rights.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the wage-earner

A CORRESPONDENT Of the wage-earner
class enclosed communication to the
HERALD the other day, which he says is
similar in terms to one that he had
addressed to the Eaaminer. He informs
us that if two leading Democratic papers
of the Coast answer his queries satisfac-
torily he and two Republican fellow
workingmen will join the Democratic
party. Unfortunately his interrogatories
at least those which reached this office
are absolutely illegible. We commend
to our correspondent the well-known
couplet: eff at first you don't succeed,
try, try again." We are ready to do
the best we can to satisfy any honest
seeker after truth.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-12

The New York Sun congratulates the
country upon the probability that the
present campaign will, in all likelihood,
be free from personalities. Should this
prove to be the case, it will mark new
departure in the history of Presidential
contests, although the circumstances are
singularly favorable for such novel
result. There never has bee any valid
excuse for abuse of Cleveland. Even in
his first campaign he was absolutely i'm
peccable, the attempt to handicap him
with worn out SANDER, relating to his
bachelor life, having fallen stillborn.
Even Foraker, willing as he is to des-
cend to the role of political scavenger,
can find nothing to make his arraignnent
of the President stick. On the other
hand, we are glad to note disposition
on the part of the Dem ocratic press to
concede the fact that General Harrison is
personally an estimable man. We cannot
yet 60 80 far with Mr.. Morton until we
have a cleared under standing of his
South American tran sactions, but the
candidate for Vice-Presi dent rarely gives
the keynote to the campaign except in
his own State, or when, as is the case
with the Democratic ticket, that person
age happens to be gentleman of tran
scendant merit and eminence. In all
probability, more than in any campaign
in American history, outside of the two
mi fnd 10 4
canvass will hinge on measures, not
men. While we believe that the person
alities of Cleveland and Thurman will
largely influence the result, we think
they will figure very little in the animat-
ed and protracted discussions which will
be held all over the United States be-
tween now and the 4th of next November.
