TO-DAY the Democratic clans of the
Angelic City meet in convention to name
candidates for the several offices under
the municipal government. The dele
gates are, in the main, men of intelligence
and of patriotic impulses. They are
called upon to perform very important
duty for the city and for their party. 1t
is crucial point in the history of the
city. The Charter is to be put in opera
ton under the leading of the men to be
elected next week. That instrument is
untried. There will arise no end of
disputes'as to the meaning of its clauses !;
there will be some friction in making it
work for a while. This will demand of
those in power a large degree of earnest
ness, of intelligence and of industry.
Broad-minded, progressive men are
needed. The nominees of the Conven-
ton should, of course, be sterling Demo
Gratis. None others will do at this
juncture. But they must be more than
sincere partizans. The demand of the
hour is for men of unquestioned ability
and integrity. The people have
their eye on the "boodle" ele-
ment of both parties, and will
have none of them. Men of position and
recognized standing in the community
are the only ones who can reach a seat
in any capacity. The party look to their
Convention to give them such men, as
the only ones who can win. There will
be of course an attempt made by some of
those who have crept into the Conven-
ton to run it for their "friends" and not
for the party or the city. Put quietus
on these men and on their plans at every
furn

PASADENA'S PRIDE.
Opening of the Grand Opera House
Last Night.

For several months past the residents
of Pasadena and vicinity have looked
forward to the opening of the Grand
Opera House, on Raymond avenue, and
when it was announced that the first
performance to be given within its walls
would be by the Carleton Opera Com
pany, every one, both in and out of soci-
were last night when the tuneful strains
of Mynheer Jan rang forth in notes
of dedication to the hand
comparison with any temple of Thespis
on the continent. Erected at cost of
500, 900, it stands fitting monument of
this land of marvels, which can thus
turn out metropolitan theater in a
locality which but few years ago was a
sheep range. The house is marvel of
beauty and workmanship both within
and without, and is upholstered fully as
we'll as the Grand Opera House of this
city; in fact, on question of merits, the
balance is slightly in its favor. 1t
has seating capacity of 1,200, and from
each of the comfortable opera chairs q
full view of what is going on on the
stage can be obtained. Its acoustic prop
critics are admirable, and in the matter
of fire exits it is faultless, for with doors
all about the house it could be emptied
when crowded to the brim, in two or
three minutes. The fact that it has been
leased by Major Harry o. Wyatt ensures
that the residents OF Pasadena will see
the finest shows that come to the coast,
for Mr.. Wyatt, who has been aptly
named the Napoleon of managers,
always secures for this Southern cir
cult the leading combinations which come
west of the Rockies. With the Grand
Opera House and the Los Angeles
Theatre of this city and the new temple
at Pasadena, Mr.. Wyatt is now running
a mighty engine of amusement, and none
can deny that he is doing it we'll.
A special train was chartered from this
city yesterday for the benft of those de-
string to attend the opening OF the new
house, and stages were also run from
Monrovia and other outlying towns. Not
only was every one of the 1000 eeats
occupied, but reinforcement of chairs
had to be sworn in and even then
the aisles were black with those unable
to find seat. The new building has
therefore been opened in blaze OF sue
cess, which it is safe to predict will ever
surround it. for the citizens of Pasadena
will be proud to support the enterprise
which has given them such magnificent
meeting place for amusement.

SAN BERNARDno has grand citrus
fair in full blast. 1t opened last night
with magni ficent display of fruits of all
the branches of the citrus family.
Riverside, Redlands and all the country
around are joined with the county seat
in this display. San Bernardino county
has the finest of orange groves, and
is planting no end Of new trees. Such a
thing as the scale bug of any variety has
never gained foothold in the county,
and if the present diligent and watchful
methods are pursued, the nuisance never
will find Judgement in the fine groves Of
that section.

APPEARANCES give reason for the hope
that the early promise of an exceptional
agricultural year in this section will not
be blighted by failure of the "latter
rains" Scarcely had we begun to wish
for another dispensation when yesterday
morning the wind changed from the dry,
harsh nature of the north, to the soft,
damp nature of the southern currents,
and last night the sky was thickly
clouded, with an easterly wind springing
up. If these elements are not disturbed
the rain will be here in a few hours.
Last night the barometer began to fall
slowly, another indication of change
for the better.

pitiful falling in at the pit Of the stomach

pitiful falling in at the pit of the stomach
through the gruesomeness of the thing.
A firstclass funeral is rattling diver
basement compared to the compound
comminuted agony and dullness of Rus.
sian novel. In Taras Bulba, Cossack
ferocity is run mad, and one is reminded
of the crunching of myriads of human
bones around the walls of Carthage dur
ing the siege in the days of Hamilcar.
And yet Nicolai Vasilyevich Gogol is an
eloquent writer. The only trouble about
him, as about nearly all the Russian
novelsts, is that he makes one sick at
the stomach with the brutality and car
mage he delights to depict.
His history relates to the days of the
wars between the Cossacks of the Don
and the Poles, and from the opening
chapter to its ending there is gore
galore. Blood flows on like the stream
of Iser rolling rapidly. A minor
feature of the horrors of this Russian
novel is the cacophony of the nomencla-
ture. The names alone in these Russian
books are enough to make the reader
retire wounded from the literary fray
" Kukubenko, Golokopytenko, .
"Vovtuzenko, "Pisarenko," "Nevelit
chky, !" "Zadorojny," "Cherevichenko, ,
and a hundred other such euphonioui
patronymics grace the heroes who lee
the Cossack van, and the slaughter was
fully in proportion to the immolation O
the vowels.
If that revolution which shall conver
Russia into Republic shall also revolu
tionize her names into some concordance
with sweet sounds, and kill off he
novelists and poets, it cannot come to-
soon for the good OF mankind.

Los ANGELES Democrats have always
put in the field for official honors high
minded, able and honest men. Let the
Convention to-day maintain the party
reputation in this respect. 1t is in the
cards for us to elect good men, but it is
in the cards just as certainly for us to
suffer ignominious defeat in the case of
every untrustworthy man whose name is
on the ticket. The party demands men
of unquestioned principles and will take
nothing else.

A Flaw In q Patent.

ST. LOUIS, February 13.-The import
ant discovery has been made here that
the control Of the barbed wire patents is
not vested in any American firm or cor
poration, because the device of barbed
wire was patented in France to Louis
Janin, April 10, 1865, under the United
States law. This invalidates the United
States patent, and, it is claimed, may
render patentees liable for past royalties
collected.

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, February 13.-Repre-
sentative Oates, of Alabama, from the
Committee on Judiciary, to-day reported
favorably the House bill to amend the
naturalization laws of the United States.
The report accompanying the bill treats
the existing naturalization laws in crit
ical spirit, and calls attention to abuses
which have grown up under them. 1t
says: An alien may be notorious
thief, murderer, outlaw, anarchist, poly
gamist, leper, or hardened criminal,
and yet our law enables him, by making
an affidavit of intention before the
clerk of a court, to get all the benefits
of citizenship within the United
States. So deficient is the present law,
and so careless is the practice OF the
judges, with but few exceptions, that it
has become q matter of public MOTOR
iety that they perform their duty in
such perfunctory manner, that any
alien, however bad his character or
beastly ignorant he may be, can become
a citizen of the United States. The re-
port concluded with synopsis and ex-
PLANTATION of the provisions of the bill,
which are, in brief: Limitation of the
classes of foreigners who shall be eligi-
BILE to citizenship in the United
States, including Indians adopt
ing civilized life; prescription
of the form of application requirement
that the District Attorney shall defend
the government against improper appli-
cations, and that the applications shall
be corroborated upon the point of resi-
dence; restriction of jurisdiction to high
State Courts and Federal Courts; preser-
vation of the rights of aliens who have
already declared their intention; allow
ance OF the right of bona-fide applicants to
make homestead entries, and to receive
patents after naturalization and the re-
quirement of would-be citizens that they
shall have resided five years in the
United States and be able to read the
Constitution in English.
The Secretary of State has received a
disnatch from Elaine, United States
Consul at Berlin, in regard to the
measure now before the American Con-
gress making important changes in our
immigration laws. He says the pro-
posed measures are viewed with much
concern in Berlin, in political as we'll as
J national economy circles, as foreshadow-
} ing changes which eventually may lead
to a total reform in the matter of
European emigration to the United
States

The black scale on the oranges in this
section has existed for a great many
years. Nearly fifteen years ago the red
scale made his first appearance, and
about ten years since the first cottony
cushion scale bugs were found on the
trees of this section. For six or seven
years no efforts were made to destroy
the destroyer OF our groves, and ever
since then the efforts made have been
spasmodic, desultory and sporadic,
rather than general, persistent and con-
tinued. Yet the pest has not spread
much beyond very few local
tiles. The scale has made sad
havoc in the groves of San Gabriel
Valley in such cases, as where no
trouble has been taken to destroy it.
Orange and Santa Ana have also suffered
grievously under similar circumstances.
The same is true of Los Angeles city and
the immediate vicinity. The pest has
spread mostly since the great specula-
tive boom in realty began, when many
groves were abandoned to the tender
mercies of the bug. Yet in spite of 80
much neglect, of go little proper effort to
exterminate it, the spread has been slow,
and properly cared for sections have
been kept free from it. The Duarte,
Axusa, Pomona, San Bernardino, River
Dide, Inglewood, and scores of other
places have no scale of any sort. Even
= the midst of the infected districts may
b found orchards where there is not
race Of the scale. It requires only
pnergy and watchfulness to get rid of the
pest, and only the same to keep rid of it.

was commissioned by the Nihilist section
to which he belonged to state that the
Emperor had been tried and condemned
and would be executed if certain reforms,
which he particularized, were not granted.
Having accomplished his mission, he
swallowed the poison and dropped dead.
A nation which has an extensively rami-
fed organization of such men is on the
brink of revolution always.
The first Napoleon, in one of his con-
versations with the Count de las Casas,
at the island of st. Helena, said that in
fifty years Europe would be all Cossack
or all republican. 1t is certain that
Russia has not as much influence in
Europe now as she had in the days of
the Holy Alliance. Napoleon's alter
however, throwing in few more
decades, may be accomplished by
Europe becoming republican; and if she
does. Russia, as likely as not, will head
the procession.
This profound gloom characterizes the
whole of Russian literature, and casts over
it spirit Of which the Dies Irs, the De
Profundis, the Seven Penitential Psalms
and the Dead March in Saul are compo-
sitions as cheerful as Milton's "Comus"
or shakspeare's GAS You Like It." All
the Russian novels and poems are of a
tenor that knocks silly the tenebre
ceremonies of the oldest Christian
church. 1t is nearly equal to being
to have to read them. To
peruse even the works of the illustrious |
