The Bar Association CT Los Angeles
have unanimously recommended Judge
Walter Van Dy Ike for the vacancy on the
bench Of the Supreme Court, created by
the resignation of Judge Jackson Tenn
pie. As far as a Democratic journal is
entitled to put in, the HERALD heartily
seconds the recommendation which un-
questionsbly resulted from an apprecia-
ton of the personal worth and excep-
iional qualifications of Judge Van Dyke,
in this case absolutely irrespective of
politics. During his career at the bar,
as a mem Der of the firm CT Wells, Van
Dyke & Lee, and in his short career here
on the Superior bench, the nominee OF
the Bar Association has won golden opin-
ions. AS the Republican party is to have
q member of this august tribunal, by APP
pointment, Governor Waterman cannot
20 wrong in needing this recommends
ton of the Los Angeles bar. Van Dyke
is able, capable and experienced. The
claims of Los Angeles county are strong
in themselves, and are reinforced by the
character of her accredited representa-
tive.

Democrat for a leader-twenty to one
it is David Bennett Hill-and the party
is again taking heart. In Norwich, Con.
necticut, on the 3rd instant, Demo-
cratic Mayor was elected by 800 majority
the first time Democrat was ever
elected to that office in the history of
that city. All the Democratic party
needs is Democrat to lead them--a
Simon-pure Democrat, who thinks that
a Democratic victory means the ascend
ancy of Democratic men and measures,
and the earth will shake with the multi
tudinousness Of the tread of the Demo
cratic hosts. Of course this means that
Mr.. Henry j. Watterson, Of the Louisville
Courier-JournGl, will no longer carry the
Democratic party in his vest pocket to
wreck it; and it will give the accom-
plished Senator German, OF Mary.
land, chance to assist in franz
ing the Democratic platform. Har-
rison and nepotisn, nepotism and
Harrison, are going to be bowled out
at the next Presidential election, and it
will be done under platform very
similar to that under which MIR. Cleve-
land was elected in 1884, aud which,
strange to say, was dictated, in all its
essential provisions, by Mr.. Samuel ].
Randall and Senator German. In thai
platform there will be a clamorous
demand for reduction of the war tariff
and for full recognition Of the necessity
of protecting American industries Just to
the extent that will insure domestic
manufacturers from foreign competition,
and give the American nottingham his
highest possible wage. Such platform,
without free wool, and with Mr.. Bland,
OF Missouri, to write the silver plank,
would give US California by ten thousand
majority.

THE Republican party is steadily drift.

THE Republican party is steadily drift
ing to the rear. At the last national
election the sentiment of the people was
overwhelmingly Democratic, but Mr..
Cleveland had made his accidental
ascendancy in the Democratic party go
redolent of the ''Big Head" he had failed
so essentially and inexcusably to come
up to Jacksonian Democratic standards,
he had so paltered with the outright and
masculine Democracy, and SO ko-towed
to the George William Curtis, Man-Mil-
liner element Of the Republican party,
that the square-toed white men OF the
Empire State declined to vote for him.
And they didn't vote for him, seven
thousand strong. But it is now well
understood that the Democracy next
time will have Simon-pure, orig

OAKLAND is now in the throes Of pro-
hibition contest. For to this really
amounts the almost restrictive license
sought to be placed on the retailing of
liquors., One little scintilla of reason
shines through the gloom of this be-
nj ghted policy, that is, a proposition to
free native wines and beers from this
narrowly restrictive regime. What ever
force there may be in the stock argu-
ments usually. INDUCED in against the
sale of beverages carrying high degree
of alcohol, their force falls short
of the mark when aimed at a
restriction of the sale of
pure light wines and beers. The true
missionary spirit which will eventually
redeem the people from the curse of
gross intem perance, will be one that will
not only tolerate, but one that will ac-
lively encourage the production, sale and
consumption of these lighter beverages.
And this is not INDUCING in theory when
we say that. 1t is the most practical of
wisdom founded on universal experience
wherever light wines and beers are freely
consumed. No people are go temperate
as those who are accustomed to free
use Of ciaret and hook wines and lager
beers. They carry less alcohol than
cider, and much less than tie temper
ance stomach bitters. These beverages
too are products Of our own soil. The
barley, hops and grapes that enter with
their composition all grow under Cali
fornia skies, and their use enriches the
farmers Of the State.

The death of Tavernier. the painter,

The death of Tavernier, the painter,
ends the career of an artist who possessed
a genius for the faithful production of
western scenery. In his painting Of
Mauna Loa he gave in very vivid colors
a striking picture of the fiery crater of
that wonderful volcano. The natives
call the seething abyss "Pele," equiva.
lent to our word He'll, and it is appro-
priately named. Tavernier doubtless
kept this in his mind when he was
painting it, and produced scene that
would fit we'll with the idea. Some OF
Tavernier's best work he produced from
Arizona sketches. AS an artist he had
breadth, vigor, technique, simplicity OF
tire atmept and the freedom of hand ing OF
the French school. In this respect he
was the Jules Verne Of painters. He
will be great loss to art on this Coast

have agreed to close their doors at noon

SULLIVAN ARRESTED.

CHICAGO, June 11.-Alexander Sulli-
vans arrest was effected without the
slightest trouble. Before the verdict was
read in public, Coroner Hertz emerged
for a moment from the room ia which the
jury was in session. He beckoned to an
officer, and handed him a mittimus. The
officer, with comrade, hurriedly left the
city hall, and jumping into a carriage
drove straight to the residence of Mr..
Sullivan. on Oak street. The officers
went to the front door and rang the bell.
Henry Brown, Mr.. Sullivan's clerk,
answered the call. ''Is Mr.. Sullivan at
home ?" asked one of the officers. "He
is" was the urbane reply, 'but he has
just retired" eve are policemen, and
have mittimus for his arrest" rejoined
the officer, whose name is Henry Palmer.
"Ail right; come in, gentlemen. / will
call him." said Mr.. Brown.
Officer Palmer and his comrade
stepped inside, while another policeman,
who had put in an appearance, descended
the steps and ran around the block to
the rear of the house. Before three
minutes had passed, no less than half.a-
dozen vehicles had been driven up to the
curb near the house, and the eide walk
contained more than a score of men.
MIR: Brown lighted the gas in the parlor
and invited the officers to take seats.
Mr.. Sullivan evidently had heard part
OF the conversation between Brown and
the officers, for, moment later, he
thrust his head over the balustrade on
the second floor and said: "All right.
I'll dress and come down." He soon
appeared on the stairway dressed in his
ordinary street dress. Descending to the
parlor he recognized officer Palmer, whom
he had known for years, and, extending
his hand, said: "Why, how are you,
Palmer? You want me, do you ?''
YES" said Palmer, 81 have mittimus

greatly surprised?" "Well, slightly-at
this hour. ! was just retiring. Will
you not remain in the house all night
rather than go to the jail ?" "No," said
Palmer, Il have not authority to do So"
"All right, Palmer, I'll 60 with you,"
said Mr.. Sullivan, cheerfully. Then Mr..
Sullivan walked to the rear of hallway
where female figure could be dimly
seen behind the portieres. Placing his
arm tenderly around the woman's waist
MIR. Sullivan kissed her and then took
up his hat, saying: NOW l am ready"
The street door opened and Mr.. Brown
stepped out first, followed by Officer
Palmer. Next came Mr.. Sullivan, fol-
lowed by Officer Broderick. Sullivan
followed the officers with firm tread.
His hat was set back slightly on his
head, giving clear view OF his smooth
shaven face and clear open eyes. On
reaching The sidewalk, Brown took the
attorneys arm and entered the carriage
with the officers.
BY this time the occupants OF the ad-
joining houses and those across the street
were awakened and dozen windows
opened. Little groups of men and women
assembled on the sidewalk and had
scarcely assembled when their sight
seeing was ended by the carriage quickly

 was stationed at Sooramungalum in 1875, where I formed a close friendship with Tom NewdeRate, the assistant traffic manager of the western section of the Chennaputnam railway. He was widower and I was a bachelor, and, being the only Europeans in the station, with the exception of Major Nimrod, the government district engineer, whose duties seldom allowed him to be at home, we naturally spent good many eve- nings at each others bungalows.
 It was very hot June evening, and Tom and I were stretched in long American chairs in the veranda of my bungalow, smoking our "triohies," when my "boy" came to ask for my instructions about a journey had to make by train on the following day to 8 sta- tion few miles down the line.
 The prospect was not pleasant one, ae the land wind was still prevailing, and had little inclination to face that parching, fiery blast. Therefore, did not look forward with eagerness to spending day in the Oak bun galow at Sunkery Droog.
 "Why not go to-nightg" asked Tom. "] am running special goods to Pothanore a, 12 o'clock, and you can be dropped at Sun kery. Or better still will go with you and we will ride on the engine, the cooles place in the train by day or night"

possible the combined arrangement of pie-
 ture and flower group should have a contin- u1ty ot Idea. For example, in the case of @ picture representing water landscspe being used, the flowers arranged in front might be irises or other water plants, suggestive of the foreground of the landscape. Some of the most popular flowers were treated in a varie- ty of ways, at first sight seemingly capri- cious enough, but actually founded upon a close observance of natural laws. Com- bined branches of cherry blossom were te have buds in the center and top, and blos- soms at the base and sides, inasmuch as the cherry tree commenced blossoming from the lower side branches. In the same way ar- engagements of autumn leaves were to be redder near the top, because banks of maple trees become reddened first towards the top of the slope. After the general arrange ment of the composition into harmonious lines, special attention was devoted to the distribution of blossoms, buds and leaves. With large lowered plants, such as the ehrysanthemum and peony, an over crowd. ing ot blossoms was studiously avoided, and full flowers, buds and half opened flowers were distributed with careful regard to vari- ! ety of form and balance of mass. Certain plants, such as the Chinese orchid, were val- ! ued only for their fine oval leaves, and with certain other Towering water plants, like the
 iris and narcissus, the long blade shaped | k6dt6S I0C6lV6Q lu0E6 dLB6uLlOu Iudu LQe UlOSs
 soms. The judicious grouping, bending and | turning of these leaves, so as to reveal their different surfaces without redundancy, formed an important branch of the art. Fanoiful classifcations into male and female principles and into imaginary functions, | such as dew dripping leaf, dew holding leaf, spring leaf and winter leaf, came to the as- ! sistanoe of the designer in producing be- ! coming effects. Skill in manipulation was only to be acquired by patient practice. The artificial form imparted to branches and l stems was obtained by bending, and, in the case of unyielding material, by means of more violent crushing, splitting and even 1 temporary bandaging. Methods were in use for increasing the vitality of certain branah- es by means of drugs, fire and hot water. The two last methods were applied to the extremities of cut branches to increase their power of suction, and the drugs, consisting
 of tea, cloves and spice, were employed as | stimuiants. The firm fixing of the stems or | branches at their base was obtained by means of slit wooden holders placed cross-
 wise in the mouth of the vessel or in bsm-
 boo tube hidden in the vessel. For water
 plants placed in wide, shallow receptacles, fancy metal fixtures were often employed in
 such forms as crabs, scissors, horses bits,
 etc. Mir. Conder was happily able to illus
 trate the arrangements, which he described
 and explained by means of a series of plates
 designed by famous artists of the Enshiu
 school.

ONE CONTESTED ELECTION.

The seventh congressional district of South Carolina is known as "the black district" The voting population of the district num- bers 40, ,56s, of which 7,675 are white voters and 32, ,S93 are oolored voters. The brief in the election case of Miller vs. Elliott from this district shows how elections are soms- times conducted in the South.
 The election laws of South Carolina place in the hands of the governor of the State the entire control of elections, and if that is not sufficient to make 1t insure Democratic misrule, a returning board of State officers reviews the election returns. and it is held that from their decisions there is no appeal. In the case in question work was begun with the registration. The officers charged with this important duty in the counties of Orangeburg, Sumter and Collebon refused and neglected to register Republicans where original registration was necessary, to trans fer in cases of removal and to issue renewals in cases of loss. In addition to the refusal and neglect in Oraugeburg county of the supervisor of registration, 1t is admitted that the book of original registration WAS subject te such notifications as political committee from Democratic clubs might make. At the election Democratic ballots were illegally placed in tho congressional boxes and an excess of ballots created which enabled the managers under the color of law to draw out Republican ballots In place of the Democratic ballots fraudulently placed in the box. By this means in the counties of Beaufort, Berkeley, Collebon and Orange- burg the Republican candidate was defraudsd of 690 votes and like number fraudulently awarded to his Democratic competitor. The
 boldest steals were in Berkeley and Beaufort counties In the former two large Republi- can precincts were closed by the refusal oI neglect of Democrats appointed as managers | of election to serve. In the latter a Rspub-
 Ncan majority of over 1 500 WAS disfranchised | by the neglect of the supervisor of registra ton, giving the Democratic oontestee the
 benefit of every doubt. The Republican con
 testant shows beyond doubt that he received
 a majority of votes in the district of ovel | 1,S00, and fully proves every allegation ir his notice of contest.
 By these and other methods Demoera was enabled to claim @ seat in congress from
 the black district of South Carolina. If ht
 gets 1t great wrong will be done.
