has increased 87O.5 per cent in the last
ten years, and it also shows the largest
increase in the divorce movement during
the past five years Of any commonwealth

Two digniied toga-wrapped members
of the American house of lords had a
genuine Delsartian scrap in one of the
committee rooms of the capitol last Fri
day. The belligerents were Senator
Chandler of New Hampshire, and Sena-
tor Blackburn, of Kentucky. Chandler
called Blackburn slave-driver and
Blackburn returned the compliment by
telling his opponent he was ''a id
scoundrel and liar" The big, husky
Kentuckian grabbed the New Hamp-
shire dwarf around the neck, shook him
and bumped him against the side of the
house until his teeth ratified. Friends
finally separated the fighters and ran
them home. The outcome is anxiously
awaited.

The completeness of the service of the
Associated Press has never been better
exemplified than in the very thorough
way in which that great institution has
gathered and transmitted the intensely
interesting news from the scenes of the
late flood disasters. The telegraphic
columns of the HERALD have bristled
with details from Johnstown and vicinity
the past four days. Yesterday we pre-
sented no less than ten columns of de-
tails gathered from all sources by the
energetic agents of the Associated Press
on the spot. By curious coincidence,
Mr.. William Henry Smith, the
President of the Associated Press,
happened to be passenger on
one of the trains caught in the
flood at Johnstown. The car he
was on escaped by miracle from being
engulfed with others that were lost.
Having come successfully through the
ordeal, he at once perfected arrangements
to send out the news of the catastrophe
to all the newspapers connected with his
Association. Reliable reporters were
brought in without delay, and distributed
throughout the devastated district. How
well they performed their work, the
columns of the HERALD have amply
attested.

IT SEEMS that the reservoir which
wrought the awful disaster in the Cone
maugh country was first constructed for
the purpose of supplying water to the
Pennsylvania canal; but that waterway
having been superseded by the railways,
it had fallen into the possession of few
gentlemen of leisure who used it as a
private fishing preserve for their own
sport. 1t is not said anywhere that we
have seen that the pent-up waters of
that reservoir were put to any great
public use. Is it not astonishing
that menace of this stu
pendous character should have been toll
Grated by the fifty or sixty thousand peo-
pie who lived below the dam? We
could understand the preservation of this
body of water for some great manufactur-
ing or public purpose; but to permit it,,
with its accompanying dangers, to con-
tinue for the mere qualification of few
sportsmen, is ihconceivable. We are as
sured that the people were aware of the
danger which threatened them from this
dam. for it was yearly topic of concern
with them. But from frequent discus
sion year after year, the subject had be.
come, as a dispatch expresses it, hack
neyed, and, finally, whoever drew at.
tention to the danger was laughed
at for his pains, so that it required mora
than ordinary nerve for any one to try to
arouse the public to the menace which
impended over the people in Conemaugh
valley. We have seen the result. Ten
thousand lives and forty millions Of prop
erty have been sacrificed that a few
sporting millionaires might have a pri-
vate pond where they could occasionally
enjoy days fishing.

INrHE election throughout the lower

In THE election throughout the lower
end of the county which took place yester-
day on the proposition of carving new
county, to be called Orange, out of the
portion of Los Angeles county lying be.
yond the Coyote creek, the divisionists
won by handsome majority. A special
dispatch in the HERALD's telegraphic
columns gives the result in detail.
There were 1887 votes cast, of which
1913 were for division, and 5l4 against.
1t would have taken nearly twice as
many more votes against to have defeated
the project. The diviaionists have al
ways been very much in earnest, and
they worked hard and with consummate
ekill fer their purpose. Success usually
crowns such efforts, and those who op'
posed division have seemed to recog-
nize this fact, and to have at nearly all
times looked upon their cause with much
misgiving. The rumor that good
many Santa Ana people would quietly vote
against division was not founded on good
ground. That town seems to have been
ali of one way of thinking, and most Of
the other places seem to have gone with
her. In fact, it was very much of a
Bridgenorth election every where except
ing at Anaheim and one or two small
precincts near by that place.

THERE is strong possibility OF another
rate war among the railroads. The
Southern Pacific has notified the Trans
portation Association that it will draw
out of the pool, and the Northern Pacific
has taken the same course. These roads
are determined not to rest supinely upon
their oars, or rather their rails, and allow
the Canadian road to carry off their
business, as it is now doing. The Inter
state Commerce law has worked nothing
but harm to American transcontinental
roads, and has enabled the foreign
corporation to carry off their legitimate
business. A law that operates
to destroy the American carrying trade
and to build up that of a rival power, has
an element of positive perniciousness in
it which calls loudly ior revision. five
are to have another rate war, it will pos
sibly accomplish two important and
beneficial objects-one, a revision of the
Interstate law on patriotic lines; the
other, reduction in passenger fares and
freights across the continent that will be
productive of great benefit to Southern
California. Cheap passenger rates will
bring another rush of immigration to us,
and that would mean a great revival of
business activities and settlement of our
vacant lands.

THERE never has and never will be
any device, legislative or other, that will
do away with intemperance. 1t always
has and always will exist. 1t belongs as
well to the highest civilization as to the
lowest order Of savage life. The most
polished intellects of the enlightened
world are fuddled by champagnes the
rude and unlettered savages of the Poly
nesian islands have always made them
selves drunken by ava, powerful
liquor produced by the maceration of
vegetable root. High license will not
cure the evil, for it will offer the same
facilities for excessive drinking as low
license. One can drink as much over
high as low license bar. The only ef-
feet of high license will be to make the
liquors and wines sold less pure and more
sophisticated; fer it is rule of those
who supply the trade-the recti6ers-to
lower the purity and quality of their
| goods SO as to make up for any increase
in the license. In other words, the
| higher the license the poorer
the stuff sold over the counter.
The brains and nerves and stomach
OF the customers will be made to suffer
for the added license. The abuses of the
liquor business must be corrected by the
police arm Of the government. The San
Francisco Journal Of Commerce takes this
view of the case. In discussing this
phase of the subject, it says:
Strictly enforce the law prohibiting the
sale of liquor to minors, and to drunken
men or habitual drunkards, shut down
dives and disreputable places of re-
sort, and all that can possibly or right
fully be done by legislation will have
been accomplished. What should be
sought by any law is not entire abstin-
ence but temperance. Outside of this
there is no more reason why the sale OF
liquor should be interfered with than
that of tea or coffee, which are said py
many physicians to have deleterious
effect on the human body. And where
legislation, instead of lessening the evils
complained of, merely promotes monop.
oily and interferes with such legitimate
industries as the cultivation of the vine
and wine-making and the manufacture
of malt beverages, it is doubly mischiev.

little in these matters.

Now that the Chinese have got pos

interest in that pretty little public circle
The blight that follows wherever the
Mongolian sets himself down in one of our
cities, is sure to follow that part Of the

that the little brown man has invaded il

effect that the Pico House will
soon fall into his possession.
If that should turn out to
be the fact, saltpetre will hardly save
the whole vicinity of the Plaza from be-

that event, who would want to see the

presented by an exposition showing to
the stranger all the splendors of our soil

THE idea advanced by Colonel Dunkel-

The idea advanced by Colonel Dunkel-
burger, to send carload of Los Angeles
productions to an Eastern city to be sold
for the benefit of the Johnstown suffer
ers, has been well received. The rail-
road companies will, beyond doubt,
carry it free, and this would be equiv
alent to a contribution of four or five
hundred dollars to start with. We are
between seasons, as far as fruit is con-
cerned; but there is no lack of canned
fruit that would be contributed for this
benevolent purpose. Wines would be
very acceptable, and walnuts would sell
we'll. There are doubtless, oranges enough
to be had to fill up what room would be
left. Ii an energetic committee Of our

WHY is it that the Board of Education

WHY is it that the Board of Education
sits heavily down upon every proposition
advanced by Director Whaling? At the
last meeting of the Board that watchful
and vigilant gentleman made four dis
tinct and separate objections to which
the rest of the Board paid not the slight
est attention. All of his motions are in
the interest of economy and reform, yet
because he is in the minority-1 to 8-his
voice is as the wind. This should not be
thus. We want to know what this Board
will answer when they are called to their
"accompt" tor refusing to entertain Mr..
Whaling's motion, that all bills presented
hereafter shall give itemized accounts of
the services rendered or the material
furnished? There are breakers ahead.

THERE can be but little doubt
that, had Cleveland's Secretary been
charged with the Berlin neaotia-
tions Germany would have in
sisted upon her ultimatum, and seized
the Islands as the legitimate plunder OF
the disgraceful war which was forced
upon the Samoans.-Tsac. Bee.
What ridiculous stuff that is, in the
face OF the fact that everybody knows,
and the present administration admits,
that the plan of settlement in all it's
points is the exact plan drawn up by
Bayard and insisted upon as the only
one that would satisfy the United States.
The only credit due to Blaine is that he
put the finishing strokes upon a piece of
work that had been carved out for him
by his predecessor.

JUDGE SHAW has dissolved the in
junction restraining the prosecution Of
work in the First street viaduct. His
opinion goes exhaustively into the ques-
tions involved in this controversy, and
turns principally upon the right Of the
parties to proceed by injunction in a
case of this kind. He holds that if the
fact of raising the street in front of the
premises of the petitioners is damage to
their property, then their proper recourse
is by suit in the regular way to recover
the damages claimed. The city certainly
has the right, in order to subserve great
public purpose, to raise the street. To
stop it from doing 80 by injunction would
be to use that peremptory power of the
court to the public detriment, and ought
not to be allowed when remedy can be
had in regular suit for damages. The
proposition to condemn the petitioners
property in this instance would seem to
be outside the question. The city
does not use their property for the
viaduct, and therefore could not reason
ably ask for its condemnation for public
use. The conclusions of the court are
logical and unanswerable, and will settle
the law in this matter. We congratulate
the long-sufsring people of Boyle Heights
and the eastside upon the decision of
Judge Shaw. The viaduct will nov be
pushed to an early completion, and they
will once more have access to the city
by their natural route. The completion
Of the cable road will follow the compile.

friends are justly jubilant.

A PLEASANT ANNIvERsARY.-The silver
wedding of Hon. Joseph Capser and wife
was very pleasantly observed at his resi-
dence on Saturday evening last. There
were about a hundred INVITED guests
present from among his old friends and
neighbors, and there seemed to be we'll
marked disposition On the part of all of
them to make the occasion thoroughly
enjoyable. Mr.. and Mrs Capser received
their guests with cordiality and they
were warmly congratulated by all.
Their married life, covering a quarter of
century, has been peculiarly blessed.
They have a fine family of children, and
in the way of business Mr.. Capser has
been exceptionally successful. He has
been merchant during all his active life
and has prospered. He commenced bus
mess here in the old stockade in May,
1864, and has been identified with the
business interests of the city and its vi
cinity ever since. Once he has represented
the county OF Stearns in the state senate
and is now member of the legislature.
He has at frequent intervals held such
local offices as county commissioner,
trustee, director of the school board and
a member of the board of health-posi-
tons he has always filled creditably and
satisfactorily.
His pleasant home on Saturday even
ing was thrown open to his guests to
use without restraint and all present had
a jolly good time and everyone went
home quite happy and we'll pleased. A
fine supper was served to which ample
justice was done. The couple were the
recipients of a number of handsome pres
ents fitting for the occasion. May they
be spared to celebrate their golden we'd
ding in the vigor of health and the full
ness of happiness with which they cele-
brated on Saturday evening.
