The big fire in London yesterday. which
caused damage estimated at $1,000, 600. ap-
pears 70 have demonstrated the insuficiency OF
the apparatus with which the London Fire De-
partment is in good part equipped. True, the
fremen labored under difficulties strong wind
was blowing for one thing, and the weather
was so cold that no little trouble was caused
by the freezing of the water. But the Use Of
oldfashoned hand engines in fighting fire of
such magnitude proves concuSively that Lon
don is in this matter away behind the times.
The lesson Of Yesterdays experience is not like
ly to be overlooked.

the secrecy of the ballot. If there is one
thing more than another that prevents
intimidation and renders the pur-
chase of votes precarious it
is the secret ballot. Votes
lose their value to purchasers
when they have no means of knowing
whether they have been delivered. The
one-hundred-foot rule in this state and
the uniform ballot paper required by
law have done more to prevent intimi-
dation and bribery at elections than all
other devices put together. These pro-
visions have gone very far to preserve
the secrecy of the ballot. But under
the proposed force bill federal officers
are directed, when ballot is set aside.
to write the name of the party voting it
upon its back for the purpose OF identi-
fication. The Mare Island heelers would
want nothing better than this to assure
them of the navy yard vote. 1t would
be better than tape-worm ticket. The
spirit of the bill is un-American, and it's
enforcement would be an outrage upon
the rights of the people.

If SENATOR STAMFORD could only be
switched off the track we could have q
very lively and inspiriting contest for
tie senatorship. in California that would
doubtless be Of absorbing interest.
Stanford once disposed of, there would
doubtless be concession of the fact
that it is now high time that Southern
California should ct last have United
States senator, and a southern cham
pion would be hunted up to pit against
Mr.. White. There are number of Re-
publieans in Los Angeles who would
pick up the gauntlet. Adebate between
Mr.. White and Judge Fitzgerald, for
instance, would attract widespread at
tention ard be greatly enjoyed. While
the issues at present are not of the same
absorbing interest as they were in 1858,
IN the famous Lincoln-Douglas debate,
they are nevertheless OF weighty and
vital character. If the Democrats shall
carry California in the current year of
grace on the issues raised by Speaker
Reed, and on the overshadowing ques-
tion Of tariff reform, they will probably
obtain a lasting ascendancy in this
state. On the Republican side it would
be fight for life.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-07-28

THE Republican situation becomes
more interesting every day. The enc
mics of Markham in his own political
household are increasing in vehemence,
and it is becoming more and more appa
rent that nomination Will mean for
him an empty honor. The predictions
that the selection of the Pasadena states
man would mean a big accession of
strength to the Republican party are
seen to be baseless. 1t is doubtful
whether Mr.. Markham can poll his
party strength even in the southern
counties, while in the northern and
central counties he will run away be-
hind popular Democratic candidate.
There is some discomfort amongst Re
pubEcans who are Iunctilious concern
ing such trifes al the determined, log
rolling contest for the nomination which
Mr. Markham mas personally conducted
from his vantage ground at the Palace
hotel 1t is held by great many old
fashioned folk that a nomination for
such an exalted Office as that of governor
should neither be sought nor declined.
OF course, Mr.. Markham is the judge of
his own conduct in this matter, and he
may decline to be governed by little re-
finements of politics, but there is gen
eral sentiment that a certain reserve is
very becoming in the contest for such
Offices. The "Markiss" and his man
Friday are also diligently engaged in
making things tropical for the suave
and tail son of the Grown of the Valley,
and Dr.. Conger and Mr.. Goldsworthy,
with their little hatehets, will come
promptly to the fore. Taking all these
things together, there ought to be lirely
developments in the Republican camp
if, as now seems very likely Markham
shall be nominated.

No oxE who has read the proceedings

No oNE who has read the proceedings
of the so,called investigation held Satur-
day night by the conference OF delegates
to the San Jose convention can fail to
remark that the prevailing disposition
was not to fully examine into all the
outrages committed at the primaries
against the best interests OF the party,
but to exculpate a delegate from the
incidental charge that he had been con-
vict. The editor of the HERALD who in
timated the charge may have been mis-
informed upon that particular point.
But it was stated before the conference
that the man kept a low dive, where
pimps and prostitutes congregate. We
submit whether it is worth while to
split straws as to the standing of man
who paves the way to San Quentin
or the man who has actually been
there under conviction. If it be
true, as stated, that the person
referred to keeps such an estab-
lishment as it was averred he does,
he is no more fit to represent the decent
Democracy of Los Angeles in convention
than if he had worn the stripes under
The general and over
objection of the HERALD was

Ter, men who could not have achieved

fTHE'MAN TO WIN THE FIGHT.

Notwithstanding the unpleasantness
which has been precipitated upon the
Democracy of Los Angeles by the raid
made upon the primaries in this city,
the rank and file of the party through
out the state were never in better form
to make triumphant campaign than
they are at present. The great contest
will be to place our best man at the
head of the ticket. If we do so, as we
believe we shall, the battle will be more
than half won when the San Jose con-
ventionn adjourns.
1t requires no great amount of preset
ence TO select the strongest man for
governor before the people. For several
months the public eye has been steadily
fixed upon him. His fitness for the
place has been fully demonstrated by
the very able manner in which he has
administered the affairs of the great
city of San !, Francisco. Every farmer,
every homestead owner, every man of
means, in short, every taxpayer sees
and feels the necessity of having at the
helm Of state man of strong purposes
and determined honesty-who will put
his foot down upon extravagant legisla-
ton, and see that economy and retrench-
ment are practically introduced into
every department of the government.
If the brakes are not put down We
shall soon drift into the most dangerous
waters. In a few years the tax rate
has risen from less than so cents on
too, notwithstanding the assessment roll
has increased enormously, especially in
the southern counties of the state. The
roll of Los Angeles county has risen
from $4,000, 900 to about $10G, 900, 900,
and in other counties in this section the
increase has been ON an equal scale. 1t
is true that northern and central coun-
ties have not kept pace with us in this
respect. But the fact remains that
whilst the aggregate assessed valuations
have increased enormously the tax-rate
per hundred dollars has also increased
prodigiously. A revelation of this char
acter is calculated to alarm the tax
payers, and they know chat the shrest
way to stop this will be,to place saan
in the governors chair who will putdhis
foot down upon. all extravagant legisia-
tion and keep all the departments within
the rule of a strict and watchful econ
cmy. The tax-paying Democrats know
that the man to do this il Mr.. E. B.
Pond. They have had practical exem-
plifcations of his.executive ability, of
his frmness OF purpose, of his great
talent for affairs and of his unquestioned
purity of character. Ke is the man of
the hour, and they want him. st is in
conceivable that at such a conjGncture,
with the very man at hand to carry the
state like whirlwind, the convention to
assemble at San Jose should not nomi-
nate him. Not to do so would pe to
throw away the fight and to play into
the hands of the enemy.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-07-28

The campaign in Pennsylvania just
now is OF absorbing interest, and the
chances are remarkably good for
Democratic victory. Since 1858 Demo
cratic triumphs in the Keystone state
have been exceedingly rare. Pattison,
the Democratic candidate for governor,
enters the fight with the prestige of hav
ing been once elected governor. The
same distinction attaches to Hon.
Chauncey f. Black, the Democratic can
didate for lieutenant-governor, who was
elected on the same ticket with Pattison
to the same Office for which he is run
ming now. Both the Democratic candi-
dates are men of exceptional worth and
ability. Ex-Governor Pattison is over
whelmingly popular in Philadelphia
and all over the state, while Mr.. Black
inherits the popularity OF his great
father, Judge jeremiah S. Black, and
has great fund of his own, being,
amongst other things, president OF the
Democratic clubs of Pennsylvania.
General Delameter is personally a
strong man, having youth and
capacity. He is handicapped, how
ever, by the friendship of Senator
Matthew Stanley Quay, whose protege
he is. For months past there has been
a gathering indignation in Pennsyl-
vania at Quay's infamous purchase OF
the presidency for Mr.. Harrison, and
the spirit ofrevolt is strong in the Repub-
lican ranks. If the Democrats shall
succeed in carrying the Keystone state
this year, it is probable that they will
hold it for years to come. The introduce
tion of great numbers of Hungarian and
Italian laborers into that state to work
for starvation wages has had a great
effect in opening the eyes Of the masses
to the real intentions of the Republican
leaders in making the war tariff per-
petual. They at last see that no thought
OF the workingman really enters into
the plans of these men of expansive
promises and curtailed performance.
Enough disillusioned workingnen have
now probably gathered in that state to
elect the Democratic ticket and give the
state to the Democratic candidate for
president in 1892.

The federal election or force bill, by
which the Republicans hope to perpet-
uate their power in congress, is designed
not only to interfere with and control
elections in the south, but in the north
as well. 1t will create returning boards
in every state outside of and paramount
to the state boards. Even if we should
admit that there are election abuses in
the south that ought to be corrected,
yet this bill is SO universal and far
reaching in it's scope that it will place
the congressional elections everywhere
under the domination of partisan Off
cials. Another feature of this odious
measure is in the fact that it destroys

means. This, it seems to us, should
