A STRONG COMBINATION.

Los Angeles has another bank, full de-
tails of which will be found in our adver-
Using columns. 1t is called the German
American Savings bank, and its director
ate is composed of some of our strongest
and most reliable German citizens, to-
gether with strong sprinkling OF per-
sons OF other nationalities. German
financial institutions have been noted in
the United States, and especially in Cal
ifornia, for their,reliability and sagacious
management. The officers of the new
bank are all we'll known for their integ-
rity and financial skill The president,
Mr.. E. N. Mcdonald, the vice-presi-
dents, the Messrs. Louis Lichtenberger
and w. M. Sheldon, and the secretary
and treasurer, Mr.. f. N. Avery, are all
men of the highest standing, while the
directors comprise such men as DR..
Joseph Kurtz, H. Jevne,W F. Fitzgerald,
Domingo Amestoy, Louis Sentous. @. F.
A. Last, Joe Bayer, and others OF equal
prominence. The new bank cannot tail
to be great success.

Other Labor Organizations Helping to
Drive Them Out of Service.
New YORK, Oct. At is reported that
the management of the New York Cen
trail railroad was asked by other labor
organizations to drive the Knights of
Labor from the service of the company.
A correspondent writes: 1t is not gen.
orally known, but it is fact, that this
latest order has not only the approval Of
some other organizations, but the central
management has been actually request
ed by representatives of the Locomo-
tive Engineers and Firemen's brother
hoods to drive the Knights of Labor out
of the system, members of the brother
hoods, as in the Switchmen's union, be-
ing complaining ever since the strike
that they were molested, threatened,
abused and were at times in a state of
terror on account of intimidation prac-
ticed by walking delegates and other
acts of the Knights. A committee of
the Locomotive Engineers brotherhood
went so far as to tell Webb that
the company would have to
choose between the engineers organiza-
ton and that of the Knights of Labor.
There is no opposition on the part of
the Central management to any labor
organization whatever, excepting the
Knights; in fact it is claimed all OF the
others are encouraged and supported.

HONEST PRIMARIES.

Every Democrat in the city of Los An
geles must experience sense of pride
at the result of the primaries yesterday.
Called under the Porter law, they repre-
scented the honest sentiment ofthe Dem
ocratic voters. and were in marked con-
trast to the travesty on elections which
led up to the Republican county con-
vention. The vote was large, which
shows the interest taken by Democrats
in the approaching election. Every
thing was orderly and decorous, which
shows that Democrats are determined to
shine by contrast with the followers Of
the pseudo party of all the morality and
all the decency. The convention which
will represent these orderly and spirited
primaries will undoubtedly name the
winning ticket,
Los Angeles herald., 1890-10-05

No convention, Democratic or Repub-
lican, ever gave itself away in such a
complete manner as did the late Repub-
lican body in disposing SO contemptu-
ously of Mr.. Magee's resolution in favor
of the Australian ballot. This was in
line with the later action of the con-
vention inc voting down resolution
against the employment of money in
elections. This course was patterned
upon that of the Republican state con-
vention at Sacramento. An enlightened
public sentiment is calling for ballot re-
form. The Democratic state convention
met the issue squarely, and the Demo
cratic county convention will undoubt-
eddy follow suit. In thus voting, the
Republicans at least showed method
in their madness. They rely upon tn e
sack for SUCCESS and they had the sorry
grace not to stultify themselves in ad-
vance. The people are observant all the
same
Los Angeles herald., 1890-10-05
CONSISTENT IF NOT MORAL.

The ways in which the cop. is giving
itself away are as numerous as they are
interesting. For example: everybody
knows that everything done at the state
convention at Sacramento was in pur-
suance of bargains made in advance and
during the session. To make special
mention of fact as notorious as it
was disgraceful, the delegates from
the southern counties were traded off in
body, sold like a bunch of bananas.
with no more individuality or self asser-
ton than those vegetable productions,
and in some cases they were traded off
to more than one customer at the same
time. This is matter of recent history.
But the country delegates at the coun-
ty convention, with agricultural frank
ness, gave their opinion of the whole
business, by insisting that those who
saw FIT to buy would do so at purchas-
er's risk of delivery, and three days of
the convention were consumed in the
carrying out of the only plan that could
render futile the actual and intended
trades. Hereafter let the party that ar
rogates to itself the patent right to all
the morality come down little from its
stand of lofty professions, and let those
who from year to year have supported
the ticket, no matter what names were
on it, scan for themselves the paper
which they are are urged to deposit in
the ballot box.
So, when a delegate offered resolu-
ton declaring "that we deplore and
condemn the corrupt use of money at
the polls and elsewhere to influence
votes" it was incontinently voted down.
The delegates present could not consent
to any such attack upon their Senator
Quay and President Harrison's postmas-
ter-general, the pious Wanamaker, who
raised $4O0, 900 to pay for seat in the
cabinet, and to be used, of course, for
only proper and legitimate purposes, in
order that that amount more could be
used "ior influencing votes" by means
which he could not consent that his own
should be used for.

A BALSAM PILLOW.
How Brie Earned Money to Pay
the Hired Help.

Now that fir needles and hemlock
needles have become recognized articles
of commerce, and every other shop
boasts its row of fragrant cushions,
with their inevitable motto: "Give Me
OF Thy Balm, o Fir Tree" am re-
minded Of the first pillow of the sort
that ever saw, and of what it meant to
the girl who made it, / should like to
tell you the little story, simple as it is.
1t belongs to the time, eight or nine
years since, before pine pillows became
popular Perhaps Chateaubriand Dor
set may be said, for once in her life, to
have set fashion.
Yes, that was really her name Her
mother met with it in newspaper, and,
without the least idea as to whether 1t
appertained to man or woman, adopted
it for her baby. The many syllables
fascinated her, suppose, and there was,
besides, that odd Joy in piece of ex-
travagance which costs nothing which
appeals to the thrifty New England
nature, and is one of its wholesome out
lets and indulgences.
So the Methodist elder baptized the
child 'Chateaubriand Aramintha," max
ing very queer work of the unfamiliar
accents; and then, as far as practical
purposes are concerned, the name
ceased to be. How can a busy house
hold, with milk to set, milk to skim, and
pans to scald, and butter to make, and
pigs to feed, find time for a name like
that? 'sBaby" the little girl was called
till she was we'll settled on her feet and
the use of her little tongue Then she
became "Brie," and Brie Dorset she re-
manned to the end. Few people recol-
lected that she possessed any other
name, unless the marriage, birth and
death pages of the family Bible happened
to be under discussion.
The Dorset's was one of those pictur-
esque, lonely outlying farms, past which
people drive in the summer, saying:
''How retiredl how PEACEFUL" but past
which no one drives in the winter. 1t
stood, with its environment of red barns
and apple orchards, at the foot Of low
granite cliff whose top was crowned
with FIR wood; and two enormous elm
trees met over its roof and made a
checker-work of light and shade on its
closely-blinded front. No sign Of life
appeared to the city people who drew
their horses in to admire the situation,
except, perhaps, a hen scratching in the
vegetable beds, or lazy cat basking on
the doorstep; and they would drive on,
unconscious that behind the green blinds
above pair of eyes watched them go,
and a hungry young heart contrasted
their lot with its own.
Hungry There never was any thing
like the starvation which goes on some
times in those shut-up farm-houses
Boys and girls feel it alike; but the
boys are less to be pitied, for they can
usually devise means to get away.
How could Brie get away? She was
the only child Her parents had not
married young. When she was ni=e-
teen they seemed almost elderly peo-
pie, so badly does life on bleak New
England farm deal with human beings.

BANGLES OF LuNATIcs.
What Reporter Saw in a New York Insane
Asylum.

Asylum.
In a New York State Insane Asylum
a reporter recently noted these lnci-
dents: In one of these pavilions, de-
mented barber was shaving fellow pa
tient, using safety razor, while score
OF other lunatics were awaiting thelr
turns. In the midst of the operation,
the barber quietly wiped his razor, lald
it aside, and taking a seat by the WIN
dow, fell into what was apparently
brown study, with his dull, dry eyes
sweeping the distant forest, and his
finger-tips drumming tune on the WIN
dow-sill The man in the chair, one
half Of whose face was still lathered
and unshayed, gave no evidence OF i'm
patience or vexation with the unpleas-
ant eccentricity of his barber, and the
other occupants of the room did not APP
pear to observe any thing unusual in
the course of events. After an
interval Of at least ten min
utes, the half-shaven individual
arose from the chair, and with the
lather still sticking upon one cheek,
walked out to resume his work on the
farm. Not ripple CT amusement dis
turbed the empty faces of the other GUS
toners in the shop. One OF them,
huge fellow in brown jeans, arose and
remarked quietly: 81 should like to
pull down Brooklyn bridge" The bar
Der, by this time, had recovered from
his fit OF abstraction, and, walking to the
chair, said Next" in perfectly BUSH
ness-like tone, but all his customers had
wandered away. In neighboring laun-
dry, half-a-score of men were busily en-
gagged with suds up to their elbows. One
gentleman quietly lifted dripping I'M
dergarment from the tub, and wrapping
it around his shoulders like soldiers
coat, announced that he was Napoleon
Bonaparte. A fellow-lunatic informed
him that he was crazy, and he immedi-
ately returned to his washing as though
nothing had happened.-San Francisco

voRACIoUS WORMS.
Their GIuttonous Appetite Satisfied Only
with Steel Rails.

Their GIuttonous Appetite Satisfied Only
with Steel Rails.
For the past two years the German
Government has been making inquiries
into the life, history and rayages Of one
of the most remarkable worms known
to exist. This wonderful creature,
whose gluttonous appetite is only salts
fed after feed on common steel, was
first brought into general notice by an
article in the Cologne Gazette, in June,
1887.
For some time preceding the publica-
ton of the account mentioned the
greatest CONSERVATION existed among
the engineers employed on the railway
at Hagen, by accidents which always
occurred at the same place, proving
that some terrible defect must exist
either in the material or the construc-
tion Of the rails.
The government became interested
and sent commission to the spot for
the purpose of maintaining constant
watch at the spot where the accidents
one of them attended with loss of life
had occurred. 1t was not, however,
until after six months had elapsed that
the surface of the rails appeared to be
corroded, as If by acid, to the extent of
over one hundred yards.
The rail was taken up and broken,
whereupon it was found to be literally
honey-combed by a thin, thread-like
gray worm. The worm is said to be two
centimetres in length and of about the
bigness Of a common knitting-needle.
1t is of light gray color, and on the
head it carries two little sacs, or
glands, filed with most powerful cor
rosive secretion which is elected every
ten minutes when the little demon is
lying undisturbed. This liquid when
upon iron renders that metal
soft and spongy, and of the color Of
rust, when it is easily and greedily de-
voured by the little insect. There is
no exaggeration, says the official re-
port lin the assertion that this Great
ure is one of the most voracious, for it
has deyoured thirty-six Kilograms Of
rails into fortnight. Louis Re-

6ISMARcK'S SECRETARY.
How He Obtained His Position Under the
Chancellor.


Herr Won Rottenberg, who is some-
times introduced by Bismarck to foreign
diplomatists as his right hand, while he
facetiously adds that he keeps his right
arm for himself, owes the high position
he enjoys entirely to his own genius and
the keen perception of the Prince. BY
whom it was discovered. Count Her
bert had been a college chum of Herr
Won Rottenberg, and had maintained a
friendly correspondence in after life.
One day Prince Bismarck, on finding on
his sons desk brochure entitled "An
Ideal State" put it in his pocket, curl
Gus to see the subject Of Count Her
berts studies. The Chancellor was de-
lighted on perusing the work and in
quired with much interest concerning
the author. On learning that he was
engaged in commercial pursuits, much
against his wishes, his taste being
wholly devoted to science and lit
erature, the Prince immediately
exclaimed: Then let him come to us.
The author Of that brochure is Just the
man wanted in our Chancelerie; Just
the man l should like to consult-the
man to give valuable advice in state
difficulties. Write to him at once"
This was done. Young Rottenberg ca
gerly accepted the offer, and deserted his
uncle's counting house with delight, al
though warned by his friends that the
post would be hard one. Such it has
proved with vengeance. Bismarck is
man to whom fatigue, whether of
mind or body, is unknown. He can
work from seven in the morning until
night, scarcely allowing himself time
for meals; and then, again, will supple
ment the labor of the day with another
spell of work till midnight And never
yet has Herr Won Rottenberg failed to
keep pace with his giant patron. He has
indeed, become Indispensable 20 the great
master, who can not beaS his absence
for moment. 1t is common saying
among the Germans that Bismarck's
eyesight hearing and memory are all
by Herr Won Rottenberg.-
