The election at.Oakland Monday ma

The election at'Oakland Monday may
be set down as an offset to the late
municipal election here. In both cities
the voters were called upon to select
officers to put in operation new charters.
The Republicans were successful here
by round majority; in Oakland the
Democrats were elected by round ma
jority also. Here there was dissatisfac-
tion with the personnel of the Demo-
cratic ticket; there the Republican ticket
was very distasteful to large section of
the people. After all, it will not do to
depend more on party strength in mu-
nicipal elections than upon nominations
that are unobiectionable.

TIE fact that the electric plant for the
cruiser Charleston passed through here
Monday night on special train making
passenger time, shows that the Depart
ment of the Navy is waking up. We
may now look for the armament of the
same vessel coming out with equal
dispatch. We may not have actual
warlike use for this ironclad at
once; but there is nothing like being
ready for an emergency. The people of
this country would feel far easier than
they do now, if they had half dozen
ironclads, armed with long range heavy
calibre guns, cruising in these waters at
the present time. 1t is not nice feel
ing for a nation, any more than
it is for an individual, to feel itself placed
at a disadvantage under circumstances
that may at any poment end in a col
lision. The sooner the Charleston and
the Monodnock are placed in fighting
trim the better will our position be both
in Samoa and on this coast too.

THE appointment of John F. Swift as
Minister to Japan seems something like
a drop for that gentleman. He was
strongly talked Of as Secretary of the In
terror; and it is like that step which
separates the sublime from the ridicu-
lous to shunt him off on the court of the
Mikado. However, he can console him
self with the reflection that he has done
better than Estee. We always felt it in
our bones that the Chairman of the Re-
publican National Convention had put
his foot in it when, in announcing to
Harrison his nomination, he said to
him: There were many able and re-
spectacle candidates before the Conven.
ton, and yet, sir, you were nominated"
Men do not often forgive a speech like
that. The President, doubtless, has
mans ordinary share OF egotism, and

THE nomination of John F. Swift as
minister 10 Japan must be taken by this
State as an in lieu of giving California
representation in the Cabinet. Mr..
Swift, it goes without saying, will accept
the mission, and will perform the very
mild duties of the position satisfactorily.
The Japs are not exacting, and it re-
quires no great amount of diplomacy to
keep the Mikado and his subjects on
good terms with government which
they have all along shown great partiality
for.

TRE twaddle about valuable quartz
lodes in Lower California is the device
adopted to meet the storm of indignation
which will be poured out by the hum
bugged thousands who have been de-
luded into that territory by lying tales of
illimitable quantities of placer gold. No
region on the American continent has
been oftener or more thoroughly pros
pected than these same Santa Clara
mountains. The whole thing is 'fake''
of the most gigantic proportions.

A POKER game was finished the other
day in Los Angeles that was worthy of
the best days of Count Bodisco and Ben.
Wood. Thousan de were blown in with a
recklessness that showed the players
were blooded to degree worthy of the
flush times on the war, when John Nor
rissey was known to drop as high as $780,
900 in single night in game in which
Wood held the winning cards. AS the
play was strictly private, the minions of
the law robably did not see their way to
interfere.

STAUNCH devotion to a hopeless cause
under difficulties is calculated to excite
the ad miration of well-balanced people.
One onl y loses interest in Don Quixote
de la Ma ncha when he surrenders his
yagaries nd returns to his senses. From
all indications our interest in the able
an6 ind omitable Frank M. Pixley will
never know di minution from such a
cause. His hebdoma dal, the Argoaaut,
rs still as full of venomous denunciation
of the Pope's Irish as in its green and
salad days. There is something
very monotonous in the way
professional pedestrians tramp round
and round a weary circle. This
is as nothing. however, compared
to the interminable circle which Pixley
has raversed for now these many years.
His ability in coming out at the same
hole be went in at is as great as ever.
His methods of leading up to his favorite
topic are as cunning and far-fetched as
those by which one is beguiled into
reading an advertise ment of ST. Jacobs
oil. After an abstention of two years we
started into reading Pixley's editorials of
last week and before we knew where we
were we were cheek by jowl with the
same old Pope's Irish. ALI roads were
wont to lead to Rome, and all Pixleyian
editorials have the one inyariable
terminus.

EAST Los ANGELES N

EAST Los ANGELES, March u, 'S9.
EDITORS HERALD-At the National
Guard meeting in San Francisco some
time ago, the Hon. M. NJ. Estee made
the following statement: "The army OF
the United States is composed of "a ,00O
men, $4,000 of whom are officers, and
1000 men," To settle a dispute would
you please in an early edition state if
those figures are correct, and oblige
J. r. WILSON.
The number of enlisted men in the
United States army on the 1st of Decem-
Der, 1885, was 25, 500 officers, 2, ,1S2. There
has been but little, if any, increase since
that time. 1t is probable that Mr.. Estee
was made the victim of typographical
error, and actually said that the army
was composed of $4,000 men, 1900 of
whom were officers.

TIE creator of mining booms and wars
with Germany had lot of twaddle in its
issue Of yesterday about jealousy of

HERALD has done good Office to San

AVERY important innovation in full
dress for ladies has just taken place in
England. Her most gracious majesty,
the Queen, in her old age, has relented
in that rigid requirement which COM
PEELED the fair danes, presented at her
drawing to 60 there in very 1scollete
attire. What has impelled her majesty
to this momentous revolution in court
usages, which must be acceptable to 80
many delicate ladies who have hitherto
shiyereG and laid the seeds of consump-
ton at these ceremonies, has not yet
been made public. All such ordinances,
however, when they emanate from roy
atty, have their origin in some personal
infrmity or condition of the sovereign.
Thus The high Elizabethan ruff was de-
vised to conceal the scorbutic ravages on
the neck of good Queen Bess. Patches
had their origin not in any desire to
heighten by contrast the brilliancy
of a fair complexion, but to keep
some court lady in countenance who hap
pened to have an offensive blemish of
the skin, for which cuticura remedies are
now offered in the public press. The
gray wigs SO fashionable amongst those
actors who personate the gallants of the
old comedies, were originally donned to
make an aging monarch appear to be as
young as his courtiers, and very pretty
they look over blooming and youthful
face. OF recent years the donning of
crinoline was marked evidence of the
absolutism of court etiquette. When the
Empress Eugene found herself in the
condition ladies wish to be who love their
lords, the device OF hoops, in which she
was followed by the whole feminine
world, left mankind none the wiser. 1t
is just possible that too liberal regimen
including brown stout and other crea.
ture comforts-has made the Empress
Queen willing to vail her own charms
and, presto the pulehritudinous maiden
hood and matronhood of England must
needs follow suit.

The suit OF Chapman versus the Bank
of California involves the value of AS 900
acres of land in the choicest part of
Fresno county. Chapman was one of the
most successful and extensive land-grab-
bers in the State. By ways that were
dark and tricks that were vain," he
maintained inside relations with the
United States Surveyor-General's office
in this State through all the early admins
trations. By this means he knew in ad-
vance what public lands were to be
listed for sale. These he would cover
at once with Chippewa and other scrip
he had bought for a song. There
was a league between Chapman and
Friedlander, the great wheat operator, by
which the latter advanced money to plow
and seed the lands, and thus the latter
could control SO large share of the
States crop OF wheat as to enable him to
influence the market to suit his interests.
When Friedlander got in a corner in
1875, he borrowed large sums from the
Bank of California. Chapman endorsed
Friedlander's paper and put up land as
security. The bank foreolosed upon
these lands number of years ago, and
sold off extensive tracts at figures so
profitable that the bank not only recov-
cred altogether from its difficulties of
1876, but it's stock advanced to figures
that have made all who held
large blocks of it immensely rich.
Chapman has been in court before With
the bank to induce the courts to declare
the Fresno lands trust property placed in
its hands for the purpose of liquidating
the endorsed paper of Friedlander; but
the courts were disposed to look upon
the transaction as in the shape of a
mortgage that had lapsed by default
of payment. The present suit will
definitely dispose of the contest. Ii
it should 60 against the bank, that cor
poration will have an enormous account
ing to make to Chapman; but this is
hardly likely. Chapman is now, we
understs snd, very poor, and living in
straitened circumstances in Kern county,
and is in no condition to cope with the
great moneyed corporation in litigation
that may be protracted for years.

Difference Between "Hit" and Cheat"
An amusing little incident that is too
good to keep, is going the rounds. 1t
seems that well-known gentleman in
one of the rural districts, directed his
Portuguese boy, new hand, to heat
some water on the kerosene stove. On
going out sometime afterward and find
ing no traces of warm water or fire, he
made his way to the boys room, and a
dialogue somewhat after the following
style took place:
Manuel, where is that water 1 told
you to heat ?"
''It's in there"
"In whereof
Gin the kitchen"
"Well, but I've looked all round and
can't find any warm water"
ooh, when you throw stone at some
thing, you say it hit i'm. You speak
me hit some water on stove, tex
some water [ hit it on the stove"
Returning to the kitchen for further
investigation, sure enough, the floor
about the stove was found to be wet
with water that had been dashed against
it from cup, which also accounts fol
their being no fire in the stove.
