ANY taxpayer or other opponent of the
Ballona route scheme, who stays
away from the polls today will
deserve to be thoroughly "cinched"
if the bonds should carry by
default. There is a net majority OF
voters in this city who are opposed to the
proposition voted on today but only the
votes cast will be counted. In the past
few weeks nearly 1000 new voters have
been registered. They are nearly all in
favor Of the bonds. The cable roads,
the contractors, most of the saloons and
small shop keepers, the police force,
FIRE department, the City Hall ring, the
Courthouse ring, the politicians who
make trade of politics, and great host
of men will vote for the bonds. 1t will
not be surprising to see as many as 5000
votes for the bonds cast. Yesterday
at least 100 men registered. They will all
vote for the bonds. If not watched, a
good deal of this new registration will
vote early and often. There is money
in hand to induce men to leave their
work and 60 vote. Every vote in the
city for the bonds will be got out. Let
the opponents of this wasteful, unjust and
unnecessary scheme cast their vote. Do
not leave it until the last thing. Vote as
early as you can get to the polls. See
that your neighbor votes, and the day
will be won, and will be we'll won.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-08-30
Bring out a Full Vote.

If the vote on the sewer bonds today
should be light one, there is great dan
ger that the outrageous proposition to
waste million and a quarter OF dollars
in work that will do more injury than
good to our city, may be carried. The
destructionists will poll every vote they
can call out. They have been active and
aggressive in this fight, and have had
the money to secure to their side
the purchasable element in politics
The only way to defeat the bonds if
for those who are opposed to the Ballous
route scheme to turn out and vote. We
shall require every vote we have in order
to defeat the proposed raid on the treas
ury. A large vote on the proposition viii
lay the destructionists out handsomely
But if there is q small vote the schemers
will be apt to succeed. Every man in
terested in the welfare of this city ant
opposed to mortgaging it for twenty yeari
to carry out scheme Of plunder, ough
not only to cast his vote, but to do all il
his power to bring his neighbors to thu
polls.

SHEPARD sQUELCHED.
Southern Editors Want His Mental
Condition Investigated.

DETROIT, August 29.-The third days
session OF the National Editorial Associa.
ton opened with an incident which
rather marred the harmony of the pro-
ceedings. A local paper yesterday
printed an interview with Col. Shepard,
of the New York Mail and Express, to
which the question of sectional feeling
was referred to, and Col. Shepard was
credited with some remarks questioning
the loyalty of ex-Confederates in the
South to the Union. 1t should be stated
here that Col. Shepard, in an interview
in morning paper, said his remarks in
the first interview had been garbled
and their purport misconstrued. When
the convention came to order this morn
ing, DIR. Cranfill, Of Waco, Texas, moved
that committee be appointed to investi-
gate the mental condition of Col. Shep-
ard, and j. c. Stark, of Orange, Texas,
seconded the motion, which was
promptly ruled out of order. The re-
mainder Of the morning session was de.
voted to the reading of papers. In the
afternoon 7. B. Eldridge again brought
up Shepard, saying the southern dele
gates had decided that should Col. Shep-
ard further address the convention they
would not attend the meeting.

AMUSEMENTS.

at the Grand.

Miss COghlan i'm ssPeg Woffington,'
at the Grand.
At the Grand Opera House, last night,
the attraction was Charles Reade's Masks
and Faces, with Miss Rose Coghlan as
"Peg Wellington" There is nothing to
say of the play, as it is one of the best
known and most popular standard come
dies extant. 1t is full of fine linee, and
Of telling business. 1t is also artistic to
the last degree. "Wofington" is, Of
course, the central figure in all the
scenes, but she is by no means the only
star in the armament. The part Of
"Triplet' is fine one, and 30 is that of
Cooley Cibber," while "Snarl's" few
lines can be 80 read as to make him very
prominent.
Miss Coghlan is an excellent expo
nent" Of the historical role of the actress
whose praise it is that in all her amours
and flirtations she never stepped be-
tween a wife and her husband. She is
brim full of the fun of the comedy parts,
and she makes much of the many lines
Of deep pathos in her part. She won
most pronounced recognition from all
parts of the house. Her support is not
worthy of her and detracts greatly from
the good impression she would produce
if better supported. She is a picture
worthy OF better setting.
Masks and Faces will be repeated to.

Fish for Yellowstone Park.

WASHINGTON, August 29.-ColoneI
Mcdonald, United States Fish Commis-
sioner, who yesterday returned to WASH
ington from a tour of inspection of the
Fish Commission stations on the West
Coast and interior States, made thor
ough inspection of the waters of the
Yellowstone National Park for the pur-
pose of sscertaining what varieties Of
fishes are best suited to them. The
area in the park entirely without
fish amounts to about 1900 square miles,
and includes the head waters of several
small rivers and their tributaries. Com
missioner Mcdonald intends on an early
day to begin planting yearly 5000 east
ern brook trout in the middle and west
fork of the Gardner river, above the cas-
cades. He will at the same time send
party with one of the commissions cars
to collect native black spotted trout
in the west fork of the Gard
ner and place these fish in the
east fork of the river above the falls.
This party will also collect native white.
fish Of the Gardner river for the purpose
of stocking some of the small lakes. This
will be the beginning of very extensive
fish cultural work, which it is the inten-
tion of the commission to carry on in
connection with the park. Next spring
it is proposed to stock lakes Shoshone and
Lewis with Lockhaven trout and salmon,
and the Madison river with English
trout,

TEE London strike is very grave
affair. In city of FIVE million inbabit-
ants, the striking for wages of two hun
dred thousand, who with their families
probably represent million human be-
ings, and have the sympathy of perhaps
million more, presents the elements
for disturbance which might at any
moment lead to the most serious conse-
quences. The danger of commotion of
this kind is evidently appreciated by the
community, for the most powerful press
ure has been brought to bear on the
London Docks Company to concede to
the demands of the strikers.

NAVY AFFAIRS.
Trouble Expected I'm Settling for she
Vesuvius.

NCbuFIuhs
WASHINGTON, August 29.-It appears
probable that when the point of settle
ment is reached between the Navy De-
partment and the contractors for furnish
ing the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, some
intricate legal questions will have to be
disposed of. Although built by the
Cramps, the vessel was contracted for by
the Pneumatic Dynamite Gun Company,
which sublet the contract. Before
Secretary Whitney retired he accepted
the vessel 80 far as speed, range and
accuracy of fire were concerned, but re-
quired proof of rapidity of fire. This
last requirement has never been met,
owing to series of unfortunate accidents
to the machinery. It is understood,
however, that the contractors
will claim that the vessel
WAS accepted and they relieved
Fl ON the heavy penalties (now 500
day. which would be due if it should be
held that the Government never accepted
the vessel. A point resembling this was
made early in Secretary Whitney's ad-
ministration respecting one Of the Roach
vessels, which had been accepted by
his predecessor, but Secretary Whitney
held that the vessel had not been
legally accepted.
AS TO THE cHARLEsToN's HORSE POWER
The following official dispatch has
been received at the Bureau of Steam
Engineering of the Navy Department
from the Union Iron Works, San Fran
cisco, relative to the performance of the
cruiser Charleston in the recent trial
"We are confident that the contract horse
power will be exceeded. The estimate
OF $500 was made so as to be within the
actual facts. The cards have not ye
been worked out. lThe estimate is bsset
on boiler performance and gives an in
dicated horse power greatly in excess oi
the contract requirements"

The Next Attraction.

Evans and Hoey, in the Parlor Match
at the Grand next Wednesday evening.
for four nights and Saturday matinee. 1t
is little late in the day to write up the
Parlor Match, but it is evidently not too
late in the day for the Parlor Match to fill
an opera house, even If it has made the
rounds of many season. But it may be
added that Evans and Hoey are excep-
tionally capable and clever comedians,
and "McCorker" and "Old Hoss" are
two types of the American citizen which
bloom and thrive under their skillful
treatment. The company is we'll adapted
to the spirit of fun, and is led, as to the
feminine contingent, by the sprightly
Minnie French, who is something more
than the conventional whole team as the
Innocent Kidd" The new music is
bright and popular, the songs catchy.
The great dance of the French sisters,
the musical contributions of cold Hoss, y
the ''La Bal Masque" by four symptom
les in elegant costumes, and the military
drill Of the Olympia Quartette goes to
make pleasant evening for those who
witness the rendition of A Parlor
Match.

The destructionists have been fear
fully "rattled" by the Hazard bomb
shell. The exposure of the Rose con-
tract knocked them out in one round, and
they have been staggering around,
groggy and dszed, ever since. Some of
their efforts to come to time and recover
lost ground are comical. They first
tried to break their fall by calling the
agreement an "option." That was
laughed down. Then they seriously
went to work at Rose and got him to
sign a new proposition, which the
destructionists triumphsntly display as
meeting all the objections to the old iron
clad contract. stipulsting away all rights
of the city to the sewer to Mr.. Rose. This
new concession of Rose is what the
"boys" would term "a daisy" He offers
to sell the city the right of way through
his ranch for $12, 2,500.(D, with the pro-
vision that he will be given preference to
fifty inches of sewage at the regular rates
to be established by the city. The bonus
is very nice plum to begin with. But
mark the preference" AS Rose would
probably be the only man to take sewage
if the Ballons route were adopted, the
Council would hardly be called upon tc
establish regular rates for the sale of the
sewage. A condescending Council would
probably, in view of Mr.. Roses liberal
dealings with the city place the public rate
very low, as it would only apply to one
custom er. OF course it doesn't require
any great sagacity to see that this new
proposition is a mere makeshift catch
vote affair. 1t is not a contract. Rose
can withdraw it tomorrow. The Council
has not accepted it, and it has no bind
ing force whatever. The old contract
however, would. That has been re.
corded and has been accepted, as far al
it could be accepted by the official ae-
tion of the Council. 1t is hardly posi-
BILE that Mr.. Roses new proposition will
impose upon anybody. 1t may not be a
"faks," but it is good enough "Mor-
gan" for the destructionists if it should
catch few stray and imbecile votes.

THE destructionists showed their re
spect for free speech last night, by
breaking up an anti-bond meeting; and
the police, with that fine sense of dis
elimination which is peculiar to the
tribe, arrested the wrong party. The
rowdies who broke up the meeting were
the culprits, and ought to have beer
arrested. 1t is so much easier, however
to suppress disorder by taking in those
who are in the right than those who are
in the wrong, that one is not astonished
at the action of the police last night.
Has the police force been inoculated
with the virus of the pro- bondists by the

them from the department? Last nights
performance would seem to answer this

ANY taxpayer who wants to know
how extravagant the Ballona sewer plan
is, can learn one important fact by re.
ferring to volume 8, page 259, of the as
sessment roll. There the famous Gun
Club swamp is assessed at one dollar an
acre, or 1865 for the entire property. The
wasteful proposition of the Council is tc
pay for this worthless property the rounc
sum of $4,000. Will any one believe there
is not "boodle" in that programme?
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-08-30

worth $500? If it is worth much
over $50 an acre, then the Assessor
has not done as he boasts he does with
the property of other people, assess it at
its full cash value. On the books 14S
acres are assessed to Anderson Rose for
$5,525. That is Mr.. Mason's estimate of
its worth. Why not buy Mr.. Rose out,
lock, stock and barrel, and turn Lis farm
into park. He probably would sell the
whole tract for less than the Council are
willing to pay for the right of way.

sUPPosNG the last proposition of An
derson Rose to the Council had been
reduced to formal contract, as it should
have been if no "string is tied" to it,
what then? Is it good one for the
city? Not by any means. 1t proposes
to sell to the city strip of land one rod
wide and mile and half to two miles
long, or at the outside four acres of land,
for $12,500, with other valuable con-
siderations in the shape Of privileges to
buy sewer water. This Is, leaving these
privileges out, more than So, 900 an acre.
Is Mr.. Roses land worth $4,000? Is it
