The assessed valuation of all propertv
in Florida is sec, 900 900, and the State
mas two Congressman and two United
States Senators. Los Angeles county is
assessed at over $40, 900 900, and in three
years will have greater valuation than
all the State of Florida, but fails to see
where are her two United States Sena.
tors and two Congressmen.-[L, A.
herald.
We find the foregoing in the columns of
the Rural Californian for September.
1t was either taken from an issue of this
paper OF some years ago, or it lacks the
customary accuracy of articles which
appear in the editorial columns OF the
HERALD. If We were it's authors, how
ever, the exigent duty is upon US to
correct very glazing misstatement.
The fact is that the assessment of Los
Angeles city was this year over
forty-four million dollars while
that OF the county was considerably
upwards of one hundred millions. This
greatly enforces the argument in the par
agraph quoted by the Rural Californian.
L the State Of Florida, with an assess-

ment of only 10000, 900, is entitled to
two United States Senators and two Con-
gressmen, certainly the county of Los
Angeles, in combination with the other
Southern counties, with a valua.
ton three times that of Florids,
and population very much greater
than that State can claim, is war
ranted in cherishing the ambition of
becoming State, with the two Senators
and two Congressman who would follow
upon that happy achievement. Especi-
ally is this true when such State as
Nevada. with two United States Sena-
tors and only one Congressman, has not
half the voting population of Los Angeles
county alone, and when the change
would make two symmetrical States
where now there is only one, and that
long, unwieldy and in no sense homo
geneous.

Information direct from Los Angeles
conveys the intelligence of the resigna-
ton of Hon. Hermann Silver, Treasurer
of the California Central and Southern
railroads. The news is not official, but
comes direct from a friend of Mr.. Sill
ver's and is worthy of credence. This
gentleman is man OF national reputa-
ton, having occupied high political po-
sitions aud fiduciary offices Of responsi.
bility. For the Santa Fe Company to
reputation and popularity will be impos-
sible.
We do not know whether the above
rumor it is true or no, but hope that it is
without foundation. This distinguished
gentleman has for many years occupied
positions of great responsibility and no
breath Of suspicion has ever sullied his
integrity, while his exceptional ability
has bsen universally recognized. He was
Auditor and Treasurer of the Denver and
Rio Grande Railway for some time and
discharged the delicate and arduous work
to the complete satisfaction of that cor
poration. He was for q considerable
time Superintendent Of the United States
Mint at Denver, Colorado, and retired
from that position with high reputation
for energy, ability and honesty. If he
should conclude to retire from the EN-
ployment of the Santa Fe Company, he
will leave behind him in this community
a record unassailed and his company
would lose the services of an honest
and efficient oficer-sans peur Ell sans

ELSEWHERE we review all the facts
touching upon the franchise and lands
granted by the city to parties represent
ing the Los Angeles, Utah and Salt Lake
railroad. They have till next January
to carry out their contract to leyye the
east side of the river. 1t now turns out
that the bond fled by the parties to
guarantee to the city that they would
carry out their contract has been alb
stracted from the municipal archives.
This looks suspicious, and gives rise to a
feeling of doubt amongst the people as to
the safe keeping of all valuable public
documents. How is it that anybody but
the official custodian of the municipal
archives could have access to papers of
this importance The disappearance of
this bond makes one feel that there is
some crooked object behind it, and it
would be an act Of wise policy for the
representatives of the road to file new
bond to take the place of the one that
has been probably stolen.

THE dismissal of Corporal Tanner by
the President is one of the wisest things
he has done. Why so blatant and ego
tistical demagogue as Tanner was ever
appointed to position requiring ability,
good sense and judicial trend of
thought in its administration, is some
thing that has puzzled both the friends
and the enemies of the President. The
Corporal's peculiar crankiness was as
we'll known to the whole country before
his appointment as it is now. The
soldiers could not have had q
worse enemy at the head of the
Pension Bureau than this irrepressible
blatherskite. He never had the remotest
idea of the true principles that govern
the award and distribution of pensions to
men who had served their country. His
only idea seemed to be to make the PEN
sion fund grabbing into which every
one who claimed, right or wrong, that he
had been soldier, could put his
hand and pull out all he could get hold
of. 1t made no difference to him how
gauzy or flmsy the claim of an applicant
might be, if he had trained with
the army in any capacity
during the war he was ready to
give him all he asked. IT never &C.
Cured to this narrow-brained Com
missioner that to bestow the Nations
bounty on men who were not entitled to
it, reduced the chances of those who
were of receiving the just aid their services
and sacrifices justified them in expect
ing. -Four years Of his senseless and
lavish administration of the Bureau
would have swollen the pension list to
such enormous proportions that the coun-
try would have revolted, and reaction
would have taken place in public senti-
ment that might have worked to the
serious injury of every honest and needy
pensioner. This is another case of put
ting bull in china shop. with the u.s.
ual result, that the bull must be driven
out no matter how much deli is sacra-
feed in ousting him. Tanner has broken
great deal of crockery during his short
official rampage.

The late Samuel Sullivan Cox was in
an especial degree friendly to the west
and to westerners. He WAS the strenu-
GUS and unquailing champion of al, the
territories which. with any reason, as
PRED to the distinction and dignity of
Statehood. After years of public life in
Ohio, he removed to the city of New
York, and almost Immediately he be-
came as powerful there as he had been
in the Buckeye State. 1t was the great
good fortune of Mr.. Cox to have married
early in life daughter of Ex-Governor
Buckingham, of Ohio, a most amiable
and accomplished woman, with whom he
received an ample fortune, thus early be-
ing placed beyond all pecuniary cares.
1t is very doubtful whether political am
bition had anything to do with his re-
moval to the commercial metropolis of
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-09-12

the country, but he was forced
almost Immediately into the politi-
cal arena. He had not yet been
fairly settled in his new home,s and
had not, in fact, acquired the residence
needed to run for Office when he received
visit from q typical "rounder" politi-
clan, who astonished the western states
man by requesting the loan of $500. 1t
is needless to say that this demand
somewhat fustered the western states
man, but he listened to the mans story,
thought that there was good deal of
the rough diamond about the would-be
borrower, and let him have the money.
A few months after this off-hand inter-
view the machine politician aforesaid,
who had heavy "pull' in his ward,
turned up in local convention, in
which, amongst other things, a Congress-
man was to BIZ nominated. He got up
and proposed the name of "Sunset"
Cox; the suggestion took like wildfire,
and Cox was nominated and elected,
and from that time forward that Con-
gressional district of New York
City was closed borough so far as Sam
uel Sullivan Cox was concerned. His
easy, western manners captivated the
New York Democracy, and he never
ceased either to be western man or to
take cordial interest in everything that
related to the west, looking with kindly
favor on every proposition which would
tend to help a western community for
ward. The deceased statesman was
one of the kindliest of men.
His great intellectual endowments
and pre-eminence as a public man
never spoiled him for q moment.
His solid gifts of argument and analysis
were 80 marked that it is great wonder
that he was never nominated by the
Democratic party either for President
or Vice President. He would have
graced either station incomparably; and,
though small in stature, he was verit-
able tall son of Anak in the arena of
brains. Accepting the dictum Of the
pious Watts, that "the minds the stat
ure of the man." the last twenty years
have given US few public men in either
party that have lowered above the bright,
versatile and inimitable Cox.

MARINERS IN DISTRESS.
Many Vessels Ashore and Scores of
Lives Lost.

LEwEs, Del, September 11.-There
are seventeen vessels ashore here with
fully score more fast drawing upon the
breakers. The crews of sixteen of the
wrecked vessels are now at the Verdin
House being cared for. A three-masted
schooner is ashore just outside the inner
bay and going to pieces, with crew OF
ten men clinging to the rigging. The
lines which the life-saving crew shot
over her tangled in such manner as to
make it impossible to send out car. Ne
human power can save the sailors if the
wind continues blowing as it has now for
ten hours, and not single sail of the
sixty remaining in the harbor will be
at1oat. Both wooden piers have been
destroyed.
The Captain of the tug Argus coming
down the bay this morning, said there
were eight men in the rigging of a
schooner near a fourteen.foot bank in a
very dangerous position. The Captain
being unable to reach the steamer, came
to the breakwater and endeavored to get
the life-saving crew to 60 to their rescue,
and offered to tow their boat up, but the
crew were nearly exhausted by many
hours OF continuous working, and the
Captain of the station did not feel justi-
fed in leaving his post. The Argus
therefore returned alone to the scene
OF the wreck. Nothing is known as to the
success of the dangerous undertaking.
A ship is ashore on the point of the
cape. Her mast has been cut away.
She is supposed to be the William X.
Grace, from Havre for Philadelphia. It
is impossible Tor a boat to reach her.
The vessels known to be ashore are the
bark Salvador, brig Richard T. Green,
the schooners Addie B. Bacon, S. A.

CLARK, Alena Covert, ]. F. Becker, By.
ron M. Norena, Gertrude Sum mers,
Maud Seward, A. and E. Hooker, the
barge Timour and the pilot boat Bayard.
The schooner j. and L. Byran sunk up
the bay last night. The mate and one
seaman are the only survivors. So far
as known no lives have been lost at the
breakwater. The storm increased in
velocity toward noon.
vi thirty-two persons on board the
schooner named above, only two are
known to have been saved. It is re.
ported tonight that two other schooners
have gone down, and if it proves true it
will swell the number of deaths.
Two survivors of the wreck of the
schooner J. and L. Byran had an expert
ence probably as thrilling as ever ,oc. |

MAMMOTH HoT SPRINGS, Yellowstone
