1t is not exactly known how the
Republicans will go in the election
of County Superintendent of
Schools, since the nomination of
Mr. Jasper Rifle, Written and his
friends have been at sea. But we
suppose that when the bosses give
the order, those Republicans who
do not want to vote for Written,
will fall into line.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-04-12

those rich old families date from the sue
eessful piratical ventures of their found
ers. The plunder of the high seas was
transferred to city lands, and the
descendants of the pirates have become
vastly rich and correspondingly exclusive
and aristocratic. These people, of all
others, should take a back seat
when Americans are celebrating a
great event in the history of the
Republic. But very few of the
ancestors of these New Workers were pa.
triote. One has but to refer to J.. Feni-
more Cooper's works to see that the cod.
fish aristocraey of New York was the
element that cringed to and fawned upon
Howe, CORVALLIS and Clinton, and
prided itself upon its toryism. Real New
Workers, the representative men who
have made her what she is, ought to get
together and arrange for a celebration
that would do honor to Washington and
to the country, and reflect credit, not con-
tempt, upon their city.

THE death of Henry Vrooman closes a
career that has been conspicuous in State
politics for the last ten years. The de-
ceased was a man possessed of wonderful
will-power and great persistence and force
of character. He devoted his early years
to blacksmithing. Then he read law,
and entered upon its practice in Oakland.
He developed aptitudes as politician
which resulted in his election to the
State Legislature. While Senator he
drafted and secured the passage of the
street law known as the Vrooman Act
Notwithstanding he suffered frequently
from acute attacks of heart disease, and
was constantly accom- panied by physi-
clan, he could not be induced 10 seek a
life of quiet. His political ambition was
Unsuitable, and he persisted in remaining
in the midst of excitements that might at
any moment cause his death. His strong
will-power alone kept him alive, and he
was striking example of a man success
fully fighting for years a disease that
would have otherwise proved fatal long
before it did.

Projected railroad building.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE Railway Age

legislation in many States, the fact that
railroads are losing money and the furth-
er fact that the leading lines have agreed

ready projected since January 1st, of this
year, 666 new lines with an aggregate
contemplated mileage of So, ,436, Of which
IA, ,818 are already under construction or

THE celebration in New York
of the centennial of Washington Is
inauguration as President has fallen
into the management of tuft-
hunters and Turveydrops. From the
way in which these snobs are hunting up
Continental blue-bloods and scions of the
De Peysters and Won Dunderfunks of
New Amsterdam to give them exclusive
prominence, the celebration will be a
travesty, and not an amusing one at
that, of the event it commentaries. The
managers seem to have found four hun
dred people with enough old Dutch blood
in their veins TO take precedence in the
celebration over the fresh, vigorous and
energetic young blood that has contrib
uted so much to the greatness
of our country and its progressive march
in commerce, agriculture and manufact-
ures. These people must stand aside to
make room for the degenerate progeny OF
the Schuylers, the Won Cortlandts, the
Delanceys, the Lispsnards and the
Rensselaers. The whole brood of old
New York families, that shut themselves
like turtles in their shells, and affect the
exclusiveness of the noblesse Of the
Faubourg st. Germain belonging to the
old regime, are not worth the little fin

Another sugar Refinery.

BALTIMORE, April 11.-There are indi-
cations of the establishment here of a
great sugar refinery. 1t is based on an
ticipatione of Baltimore support, inspired
by the hopes of Baltimore capital and
engineered by Baltimore business men.
The fact that 100000 of the 81 1000, 900
capital stock proposed has already been
subscribed, and that at least $l00, 600
more has been promised as soon as the
project assumes definite shape, practi-
cally insures the success of the enter
prise. Messrs. Robert Garrett & Sons
have subscribed 100000. The building
and machinery will cost about 5000 600,
which will leave 100000 for a working
capital.

A PROMINENT reilroad man, who is per-
fectly au courdnt with all that goes on
in railroad circles, said yesterday to a
member of the HERALD Staff: "From
what l actually know, / can assure you
that before this time next springtw two new
railroads will be straining every nerve to
see which will reach Los Angeles first. "
Tt is one of the most certain things in
the future that this astute and well-in-
formed railroad man is right. Then
came a man, quite as well informed in
real estate as the other is in rail-
road matters with the assurance that by
this time next year there will be bigger
excitement about Los Angeles real
estate, and that prices will be higher all
around than they have ever been yet.
Next autumn he thinks will be marked by
the largest immigration that has poured
into this section. Here is another point
for sagacious men to put q mark-to
make a note of it. 1t win come as sure
rs the days roll by.

BOULANGER,S BOTHER.
He Is Cut Dead by the Diplomats at
the Belgian Court.

BRUSSELS, April 11.-Upon the ap.
pearance of General Bonlanger at q
soiree last evening, the officials of the
French embassey who were pres
ent, Immediately took their de.
parture. Prince Chimay, the Bel
gian Minister for Foreign Affairs
and most of the other members of the
Cabinet declined to be introduced to
Boulanger and also departed. Almost
all of the diplomats present kept alool
from Boulanger during the evening.
PARIS, April 11.-Ferry, in an address
before the National Republican Associa-
tion, this evening, said that Bou-
langer in the Department of the Seine
had awakened the government and
the moderates who did not desire their
throats cut, to the fact that their princi-
pal fault was to allow the country to be-
lieve that the government was Anarchy
in disguise. The dissension among the
parties had now diminished and the Re-
publicans possessed the means by which
to vanquish Boulangism.

THE, attention of the Department Of
Agriculture at Washington, having been
called to the disease affecting the vines
of this State, it has determined to send a
competent expert here to make expert
ments on the spot. The letter, announc-
ing this gratifying fact, says:
Realizing how useless it is to devote
further time to this matter, in labora-
tory where it is impossible to obtain
fresh material, we have made arrange
ments to send an expert to California to
investigate the disease. He is a man in
whom we have the greatest confidence,
and one we are certain will sift the mat
ter to the bottom. 1t will, of course, take
time to 10 this, but we will prepare for
that. Our man will be provided with
the most modern apparatus, and through
us he will, at all times, be in direct COM
munication with the most eminent Eu-
ropean authorities on vine diseases.
''In conclusion, allow me to say that
in this matter we shall need the hearty
cooperation of the people, and if this is
granted us, we know no reason why the
much-talked-of of vine disease will not be
be conquered"

WE ARE assured that the experiment
of Matching chickens at Elsinore by the
aid of the hot water OF the sulphur springs
is success. Mrs. Bundy, one of the
pioneer residents, has made the expert
ment by placing dish of eggs in the
water, which seems to be of the tenn
perature required for Matching. In three
weeks the chicks were ready to come
out, and the eggs were tampered to a
warm room and hatched out. This is
perhaps the beginning of a revolution in
the poultry business in this section. If
the water of the springs can be
successfully put to this use there
is no limit to the number
of chickens that may be Matched out,
and we may see poultry establishment
spring up at Elsinore that will surpass
in productive capacity the celebrated
chicken hatchery of M. Foucaud, at
Montreuil, near Paris.

Quite Another Chinaman.

DENVER, Colo, April 11.-Regarding
the Chicago dispatches of Wednesday
morning, stating that Yee Ling, a
wealthy Chinese merchant of Denver,
had been arrested there for abducting
the wife of, and stealing 81, 400 from,
Wong Toy, of Denver, Chief Detective
Linton stated that the report was untrue.
Yee Ling, who did run away with Toys
wife and money several months ago, was
arrested six weeks afterwards in Tomb
stone, Arizona, in company with the
woman, and returned to this city, where
he is now in Jail under indictment for
grand larceny. Toy secured divorce
from his wife about month ago, when
she Immediately married Ling. Both
parties have been fully identified by
Toy, for whom Ling, previous to the
elopement, acted as clerk, as we'll as by
other prominent Chinese in this city.
Consequently, the Yee Ling arrested in
Chicago cannot be the man wanted here.
Ling is not wealthy man, and the
owner of six-story building in Denver,
as reported, but, on the other hand, very
poor.
