RAILROAD projects, which have been
so far matured as to have taken shape
and defniteness, lead us to hope that
Los Angeles will soon be brought into
communication with one of the most
interesting mineral countries on the con-
tinent. A very slender gap separates
the Carson and Colorado Railway from
Inyo and Mono counties, regions of al
most illimitable mineral wealth. When
this gap is completed we shall resume
our old, intimate relations with In
dependence and Cerro Gordo which, in
the past, contributed materially to our
growth; while the completion OF the
Utah, Los Angeles and Atlantic Railway,
which is an enterprise Of the immediate
future, will supply this section with
cheap fuel and a multiplicity of ores that
ought to make Los Angeles one OF the
greatest smelling centers of the world.
Our people ought to stand in cordially
with any enterprises that promise to
bring her treasure houses close to our
doors.

THE lines are being drawn for the most
interesting municipal election that ever
took place in Los Angeles. There has
been some talk about Citizens ticket.
We see nothing that would call for such
q movement. The city is very close po-
litically, and all that is needed to assure
the success OF nearly the whole Demo
cratic ticket is the nomination of good
men. Party will not have an overwhelm-
ing influence in the coming election, but
an array of good, consistent and respect
able Democrats would win. There is
even amongst Republicans feeling that
no extreme measures are called for at
this stage of our development, and
that to give over the city to
the control of extremists would be
dangerous. Under the new charter
the wards have been heavily gerryman-
dered, but the Democratic success at the
late election was 80 decisive as to lead to
the hope that the gerrymander may be
overcome. Gerrymanders in this State
have never had the result anticipated,
showing that in California, at least, there
is sort of poetic justice in politics. A
strong Democratic ticket, composed OF
square-toed Democrats, who have shown
that they are really in line with their
party, would have an excellent show of
sweeping the platter.

A DOubie.Dyed Murderer,

JACKSON, Mich, January 26.-Strong
circumstantial evidence has been br ought
against Irving Lattimer, the only son of
Mrs. Mary Lattimer, who was murdered
on Thursday night, and, this afternoon,
he was arrested. He went to Detroit
Thursday noon and registered at the Gill
sey House. He was not seen from 10
P. NJ. till the next morning. when he came
In and went to his room. The police
advance the theory that he went to Jack
son on o late night train and murdered
his mother and went back to Detroit
early in the morning. The case has
created intense excitement here. Latti-
mer's father died about year ago under
very mysterious circumstances. He left
$4,000 life insurance and this on the
death of his widow would revert to his son.

A PRESENTATION.
Gx-Mayor Workman Surprised by
HIS Portrait.

A delegation OF eight members of the
police force visited x-Mayor Workman's 9
house last evening and took him by sur
prise. They bore with them life-sized
painting of himself, which has been on
exhibition on Spring street, and pre-
sented to him with a handsomely en-
crossed testimonial signed by the donors,
comprising all the members of the police
force. The astonished ex-Mayor ush-
cred the party into the parlor and after
greetings Captain j. @. Glidden said !:
1--WE have been selected from Il number
of officers who served upon the police
force when you were Chief Magistrate Of
this city and ex-officio Chairman of the
Police Commissioners. am glad to be
able to pay this tribute to him whose
features the artist has here depicted.
We are all here tonight to show
our appreciation of the worthy fellow-citi-
zen and faithful public servant who has
just left the magisterial chair, We wish
you every joy in life, and hope that
you will be here with your great
grandchildren about you when the in
habitants of this beautiful city shall
number half million, and we hope that
your latter days may be as happy as your
former years have been honorable and
prosperous"
Ex-Mayor Workman responded as fol-
lows:
GENTLRMRN.-You have taken me so
completely by surprise in presenting me
with this artistic gift, that 1 can hardly
find words in which to thank you.
Coming from you, who, as members of
the police force during my cumbency
Of the Mayors chair, no doubt thought
me at times unnecessarily marsh when in
the discharge of my duty I had occasion
to act severely for the better discipline
of the force, appreciate it all the more,
as the highest testimonial that
could be rendered me by any one,
as it shows that my motives were
understood. Gentlemen, 1 thank you
very heartily for your great kindness to
me in giving me this present, and l shall
always treasure it as one of my choicest
possessions, aud it will recall me one OF
the pleasantest experiences connected
with my public life. 1 bid you all a
hearty welcome here in my household,
and hope you will do me the honor of
making yourselves at home"
The party was then invited into the
dining.room and pleasant hour was
spent, after which the party departed.

THE "TRIBUNE" DIFFICULTY.
Sutts Commenced ana Statements
Concerning the Business.

Suits Commenced and Statements
Concerning the Business.
Yesterday afternoon Messrs. F. P.
Elliott, Henry Harvey and Cornelius
Cornwell filed an attachment suit against
the Tribune Publishing Company to re-
cover 81 ,002. 90 on note given October
16, 1888, for ninety days for a carload OF
paper, and 81, ,0O3. .93 for another carload
OF paper. This is the second attach
ment suit filed, the other being that of
John E. Murray to recover 81, 500 on
note. Yesterday morning a suit was
fled against General Boyce ct al. by
Colonel f. A. Eastman, praying judg-
ment for 10 COO, and that q receiver be
appointed, and th0t an examination be
made of the various accounts of the
paper. 1t was rumored that another suit
was about 10 be commenced for 500 for
telegraphic service.
A prominent Republican politician OF
OF the Tribune wing of the party, in con-
versation with HERALD reporter yester
day said that while the Tribune might be
in tight place at the present time, there
were sympathizing capitalists who would
see that it would not stop publication.
They were willing to take the paper and
if they gained control they promised to
make matters lively for the other wing
and to "carry the war Into Africa" in
such way as to make the situation
warm for its opponents. 1t was also the
general impression on the streets that
the paper would be able to weather the
storm which seems to have troubled
its placidity. 1t was also stated
that the money had been found
to relieve the paper of its indebtedness
and that it would continue under the
present management.
General Boyce last evening confirmed
this report when reporter called upon
him, and said that while he was unable
to give particulars for publication,
yet matters had been arranged SO that
all OF the debts of the paper would be
paid. The impression gained from a
conversation with him was that the par
ties who will furnish or have furnished the
money for this purpose have no desire to
change the management of the paper,
but have invested in a share of the pa
per simply as a business proposition.
His statement that the Indebtedness of
the paper would be entirely cleared
away was positive and he promised to
make public the particulars rs soon as he
was at liberty to do so.

Intellect IN Hairdressing

The ladies have been trying to let the
hair fall down on the nape and not to
wear it high on the head as formerly.
But 1 think the attempt will prove abor-
tive. Young ladies with pretty necks
like to show them, and rebel at this de-
cree. There is unquestionably intellect
and thousand other charms displayed
in the high dressing of the hair. When
ever the upward line of the forehead is
continued, it is felt that mental dignity
is given. OF all the weapons a woman
possesses, either for good or for evil.
their expression lies in her hair. It is
the low head, with loose, wandering
tresses which, from the days Of the
sirens to those of Louis XIV, has
most undeniably revealed the Deli
lab. Gather them up and the
woman is reformed. On this account
loose, flowing hair is only suitable for
children or very young girls. A woman
with her hair over her shoulders looks
untidy or something worse. The high
style of dressing has the advantage of
bringing out the forehead, not protruding
it bare and bold, as when the hair was
drawn tightly back from it, the fashion
some years ago.-[American Hairdresser.

the Fifty-first Congress by an absolutely
unanimous vote at the late election-the
most unique compliment ever paid to an
American public man. In our opinion,
the more people of that caste the Demo-
cratic party has in its ranks the better.
We don't believe in bouncing that kind

chose to do a number of inconsistent
things. After having made the most
labored argument against a Presidents
running for second term ever made by
any publicist, he ran for second term
and made it very hard sailing for his
followers in the press and on the stump
to explain away his inconsistency. After
having made love to civil service reform,
and having bounced any Democrat who
took any interest in honorable and practi-
cal politics, he subscribed $40, 900 towards
his own election-the first departure oi
that kind ever made in American poll
tics.
These things are landmarks by the
way. The Democratic party, really
stronger than it was in 1854, has right
to note these personal Presidential vaga'
ries for instruction and guidance. There
is nothing ill-tempered in the suggestions
of the HERALD. We simply exercise the
right of Democrat to express his views
when he thinks they are for the. party's

INDIANAPOLIS, January, 26.-A delega-
tion from New Decatur and Decatur,
Ala, called on General Harrison today
to present memorial from those two
cities. They had very free and pleas
ant conversation with the General, he
talking much more than is usual with
him. He impresses upon them that
great part OF the work of bringing bet
ter order of things about in the South
depended upon the people there and
that he would try as far as possible to
give them such an administration
as would help to build up the material
wealth of the country and would
endeavor to put only the best
men to be found into office, but that they
must do something; that it lies with
them to organize among their younger
class party of true advancement on the
basis of protection to American indus
tries.
The delegation did not say anything
on the Cabinet question, but most Of
them favor Malone.
Among other callers to-day we're, E.
P. Ferry of Utah and John P Young of
the San Francisco Chronicle.
Mr.. Allison is expected tomorrow.
His coming visit is the occasion of a
good deal of conjecture as to whether or
not he will enter the Cabinet.

The Experience of Mr. A. M. Gyif-
fifth ON Hill street.
A man by the name of A. M. Griffith
was held up and robbed last evening
on Hill street, between Second and
Third. Griffith is butcher, doing bust
ness at $50 South Spring street. He
stayed late at the shop last evening, bal
ancing his books, and carried home with
him a considerable amount of money
$275 in gold and greenbacks. He went
up Second street, and when he turned in
at Hill he noticed man little ahead
Of him who was apparently keeping
watch of his motions. Getting little
uneasy he crossed to the further side of
the street. Just as he passed a dark
place man suddenly leaped out upon
him from behind aud caught hira around
the throat. The other man, who had by
this time followed Griffith across the
street, suddenly appeared in front and
went through his pockets. When the
looting was over the two disappeared up
the street. Mr.. Griffith reported the
robbery at the station, but as he was un-
able to describe the men nothing could
be done toward apprehending them.

larry heavy. The mounting OF heavy
guns on half turrets is original with the
Chicago. These--four 8-inch cannon
are carried on the spar deck, built out
from the ships side, stand twenty-fo1r
and one-half feet above the water line
and command the entire horizon. In the
broadside ports of the gun deck are six
6-inch guns and also 6-inch gun ON
each bow. In the after portion of the
cabin there are two 5-inch guns. Her
secondary battery consists of two Cat
lings, two 6-pounders, two 1-pounders,
two 47-mm. and two 37-mm. revolving
cannon. She will be manned by crew
of 800. Her steering apparatus is con-
siderably below water line, protected by
a deck one and one-half inches thick,
worked over the machinery.
In 1885 Congress authorized the build
ing of several more ships, and in 1887
the Messrs. Cramp, of Philadelphia,
turned out the gunboat Yorktown and
the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius. The
Yorktown is very powerful ship, and
she is very heavily armored. She is also
! most thoroughly armed.
I Besides these there are now being
built at San Francisco the great steel
cruiser, the Charleston, and similar
ship, the Baltimore. They are each OF
nearly 4,500 tons. Then the Cramps are
building at Baltimore very handy little
ship, the Perel. We are also in possession
of five fine monitors, the Puritan, the
Miantonomah, Monadnock, Terror and
Amphitrite. The Puritan is of 5000
tons. They are heavily armored, and
efficiently manned.
At the old Roach yards at Chester the
Concord and the Bennington are being
built on the general plan of the York.

San Francisco cruisers, like the Charles
town will add much to the navy, and the
great battle ship Texas is very power.
full ship. Her displacement is 6,75C
tons. She is 290 feet long and 81 feel
beam.
When all the vessels provided for are
built the United States Navy will con
sist of two armored cruisers, one armoret
battleship, one coast-defense vessel, five
monitors, one dispatch boat, thirteer
protected cruisers, four gunboats, one
dynamite vessel, one torpedo boat, and
one practice vessel. The complement O.
vessels will enable the United States
Navy to take second place in the nava
lists of the world. Great Britain now
being first, France third, Spain fourth
Japan fifth, and Russia sixth.
But this is not all. The present policy
OF the Government is outlined in the fol
lowing report recently laid before Con
gless:
"With regard to new navy, Congress:
seems to have settled upon q policy o
appropriating toward its construction
about $4,000, 900 per annum. Your com
mittee believes this will build up the
navy as fast as prudence dictates. Oul
Navy Department and our shipbuilders
are utilizing as far as may be, the know
ledge acquired from the costly expert
ence of other nations, but they must &C
quire experience of their own. Too grea
: haste or the part OF the Government
would inevitably result in confusion ant
waste, and most probably in combina
ton instead of competition among ship
, builders. Besides, it would be an cas-.
; matter in this country to build ship
more rapidly than we could supply then
with armament of domestic manufac
ture."
