STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
Practical SuggettiOns Made for Ad.
VeFtiStmg the Country.

SAN FRANCISCO, March ia meeting,
eff the Executive Committee of the State
Board of Trade was held this afternoon.
Word was received from the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce that affilia-
ton with the Board had been agreed
upon, and that Major q. w. Jones had
been chosen member of the Executive
Committee. An exhibition of Los An
geles county products will be made in
this city as soon as it can be prepared,
and one will also be sent to the travelling
exhibition now in the East. w. III. Mills
suggested that Los Angeles be asked to
send here as many specimens of semi
tropical products as possible. He
presented an outline of plan for
the establishment in the East of agencies
of the Executive Committee, which could
be made the headquarters for the circu-
lation of publications relating to the
Coast. 1t is proposed to make perma-
nent exhibition in Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Nashville, Chi
cago, Milwaukee, and other leading cities
of the country. The transportation of
the products from here could doubtless
be secured free. In the speakers judg-
ment, the result accomplished would be
much the same as that hoped for from
the recent projected London exhibition.
The various counties could be depended
upon to furnish products for twenty
permanent exhibits. Oroville and
Southern California could furnish
oranges, and Fresno would send
raisins. Those interested in the
great land sales now being held through
out the State would readily furnish pro-
ducts from the locality it is desired to ad-
vertise. General Manager Brown re-
ported the continued success of the
travelling exhibition East. The work
done relative to the arranging for the
travelling exhibition in Great Britain,
was reported in detail.
The question of securing free transpor-
tation for the members of the Executive
Committee to and from the meetings,
was referred to special committee.

THE CONREID OPERA COMPANY.
Next Weeks Attraction at the Grand
opera ROuse.

The Grand Opera House next weel
will welcome back the Conreid Opers
Company, which about year ago de-
lighted the play-goers of this city. The
company is greatly strengthened since
that time and has added much to its
repertoire. The San Francisco papers
speak in terms of the highest praise OF
the performances being given in that
| city. Ihe Kings Fool is in the repertoire
and OF this the Examiner saws:
Both music and story are displayed tc
the best advantage by the Conried Com
pany. and the opera is more beautifully
placed upon the stage. There is a full
orchestra and an unusually large chorus.
The voices in the one are Individually
tunable and of good quality, and are col
lectively strong and harmonious, and the
musicians in the other are competent
singly, and play together admirably. The
soloists have all vigorous and pleasant
voices, and when they, the chorus and
the orchestra exert themselves together
in the choruses of the first act and the
finale of the second, the result is worthy
OF grand opera.
The opera, as the Conried COMPANY
presents it, is quite aa attractive to the
eye ar to the ear. Young and comely
chorus girls in quantity cut sixteenth
century dresses, and stiff pointed CAPS
with wimples attached, or low broad ones
without these accessories, come on the
stage during the first act through half a
dozen arched entrances, instead of troop.

characteristic and effective. and the
dresses are all pretty. The second act
passes in wood, and the overhanging
boughs are really leafy-looking and grace.
tul, an almost unheard of thing for a
stage forest. A narrow cascade trickles
down the side of the stage and reappears
or the other, and the choristers grouped
among the rocks and trees occasionally
ill their cups from it and drink the ''real''
water.
The Viennese lady fencers are the
most active persons in the cast, and their
quick, graceful, assured movements are
nearly as interesting to those who haven't
the faintest idea of the rules of fencing
as to those who know them all.

Ar NO time has there been any sub
stance to the allegation that the Demo
cratic party had any intention, as an or
ganization, to contest the right of the
newly.elected city officers to take their
seats. The right of the majority to rule
is an essential principle of Democracy,
and to attempt to call that right in ques-
ton is departure which no real Demo-
clat would countenance. The HERALD
fought the new charter, and labored
zealously to procure its defeat at the
election at which it was submitted to the
suffrages of the people. We contended
that there were certain features in that
instrument which would result in seri-
GUS embarrassment, and We held that
there was plenty of time to prepare a
new instrument which would not be
liable to such objections. We still be-
lieve that we were right, and are of
opinion that many of the objections we
urged against it will be found substan-
tial and pertinent. We regret that it
was not rejected and a new instrument,
substantially the same, submitted
in its place. But there our op-
position ended. From the moment
the people had pronounced in its
favor we advocated its approval
by the Legislature, and from the first
hint of litigious opposition to its going
into effect we have stood loyalty by it.
From the instant the Democratic party
put candidates in the field for the offices
under the new Charter, it was in honor
estopped from contestipg the election of
the candidates of the opposing party. On
any other supposition it would have
been a game of "tails 1 win and
heads you lose." The allegation that
the charter was not ratified by the Leg
islature, has absolutely nothing in it.
That the new instrument will be found
to conflict in some important particulars
with the Vrooman act and other general
laws, we believe now as we believed
when we fought its adoption, but we
shall have to make the best of thie
muddle, and seek the most feasible
solution for it we can find.

IT is the talk of the street that the
proposition to refund to Gen. Snyder
81 500 which was expended in carrying
the Committee of the Council to Atlantic
City to examine the works of the West
sewer system will be sprung in the new
Council. There is no question but that
the repayment of this money would be
resented by the taxpayers. Those who
favor its refunding argue that the origi-
nal agreement was that if the Committee
reported in favor of the West system,
the expenses of their trip were to be borne
by the city. while if the report was un-
favorable, Col. Snyder was to bear the
outlay. As the HERALD pointed out at
the time, such contracts are against pub
lie policy, and therefore void. Without
arraigning the gentlemen who served on
the committee, and assuming that they
were all public-spiritedp persons of impec-
cable character, they were treated to a
very pleasant junketting at a very agree
able season OF the year, and the tempta-
ton to take a coIeur de rose view of the
West sewer system, or any other system,
was a very great one, especially when
regard is had to the winning WAYS
and courtly manner of Gen. Snyder
their host on this occasion. Il
it were not that we know
that the Reverend Mr.. Sinsabaugh
formed one Of this delegation we should
be tempted to think that the Committee
saw as through glass darkly. 1t would
certainly not be either a wholesome Oh
an economical departure for a city tc
manage its affairs on such principle
We can imagine Councilmen, OF less
austere virtue than our own, that could
be relied upon for two favorable reports
apiece on any subject. if, as an incident
Of such reports, there were involved g
trip to one of the most bangup watering
places in the United States, with un'
limited Roederer or Exta Dry Mumm on
the side. The principle sought to be
established is certainly against public
policy, and consequently an informal
understanding, of the sort sought to be
set up in this case, is void in law ant
ethics.

THE suggestion is thrown out to the
people of Los Angeles that we have al
length reached stage in which we can
build, or bond and build, some of our
own railways. The great benefits of q
connection between the City of the Angels
and Salt Lake City are thoroughly recog-
nized by intelligent persons, amongst
whom we of course reckon our capitalists.
Why should not these wealthy persons
take hold of this end of the and push
it forward? There are half dozen citi-
zens of this place who could readily make
the scheme success if they would CO.
operate with the inhabitants OF Salt
Lake, who, by the way, have shown a
far more liberal spirit than our own dearly
beloved capitalists aforesaid. We show
an edifying disposition to grasp all that
falls into our lap without effort. This is
not the way Chicago, Denver, Kansas
City and Omaha made their great strides.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH go, 1889.

THE late rains, which have been 30
beneficial to Southern California, We're
accompanied by southeast storm which
materially remodeled the beach at Santa
Monica, sweeping immense quantities OF
sand from the shore and filling up the
holes which made bathing at that point
somewhat inconvenient to timid people.
Southeast winds and storms are rare in
Southern California, and they are the
only ones we have occasion TO fear.

THE HERALD the other day unwittingly
eonfounded the authorship of the Muir
Gibson letter with Mr.. Francis G. Haley,
and recommended that gentleman to Mr..
Harrison for some foreign mission, or
some other distinctive and distinguished
official recognition. The purely ephem-
eral nature of fame is illustrated in the
fact that while we sought the preferment
of Haley, the real, Simon-pu origin
ator of the letter aforesaid was Mr..
George Osgoodby. All that We have
said in the line of recommending Haley
ought, therefore, by species of journal
istic subrogation, to be counted in favor
of Mr.. Osgoodby. AS we remarked in a
previous issue, there are not wanting
multitudes of good Republicans who
ascribe Harrison's election to the fabri-
Gator of the Murchison letter. Accord
ingly, great should be his reward. To
profit by the fraud, and yet to fail to re-
ward its author, would be to indulge in
about as bad an order Of morals as the
fraudulent Murchison himself resorted to
in order to buttress the failing fortunes
of the Republican party. By all means
let Murchison come to the front.

WE are now told that the Samoan con.
ference cannot take place before the
middle of April. We were assured with
great efusiveness by the Republican
press that just as soon as Jim Blaine got
hold of the State Department Bismarck
would be made to walk his chalk on the
double-quick order. Yet, instead of this
electrical mode of procedure, the great
Jingo statesman seems to wear lead
weighted shoes. Instead of the seven
league boots pace accredited to him, he
recalls the atmosphere of the Cireum-
locution Office and Tite Barnacle. A
great many of these surprises are in store
for our Republican friends, who have
forgotten that the dignity of the United
States was never SO thoroughly surren-
dered in its foreign relations as when
Hamilton Fish was Secretary of State
under Grant, as witness the Virginius
episode, and when the Plumed Knight
was Secretary of State under Garfield, as
Uide Sweeney and other Irish American
citizens unjustly confined in British
prisons, and who were released by the
active interposition of Secretary Freling-
huysen, under President Arthur.
Probably no man who ever
figured in American politics
has got up such bellicose reputation on
such precious small foundation as the
great James G. Yet the Republican
journals, which had no patience with
Secretary Bayard's pace, are willing to
accord to the epeerless Blaine the sluggard
locomotion of the Seven Sleepers of

Lord Salisbury said that nothing short
