ELECTION PRECINCTS.
The Petition of the Democratic Clubs to
The Supervisors.

The following petition was presented
to board of supervisors on Saturday, and
taken under advisement:
TO the Hon. Board of Supervisors of The
county of Los angeles:
GENTLEMEN: Your petitioners, citi-
zens and qualified voters of the county
of Los Angeles, respectfully represent
and show to your honorable body: that
at the presidential election of 1883 there
was cast in Los Angeles city, for the va
rious candidates for President OF the
United States, total of 12,227 votes,
as shown by the records of the county,
and in the city of Pasadena total of
1,434 votes. That at that election the
city of Los Angeles was divided into
thirty seven election. precincts
and the city of Pasadena
into four. That by the returns OF that
election on file in the office of the county
clerk, it appears that there were in Los
Angeles city eight election precincts that
cast over 200 votes; twelve that cast
over 800; six that cast over 400; four
that cast over 900 votes and in the city
of Pasadena the lowest vote cast at any
one precinct was 3l2.
Your petitioners further represent and
show that from the best evidence
obtainable it appears that the city of
Los Angeles has now population of
50,124 and the city Of Pasadena 4,812.
That by dividing these numbers by
the recognized standard OF five it would
give the number of voters in Los Ange-
les city as 1O,O25 and in the city of Pasa-
dena as 963.
Your petitioners further represent and
show to your honorable body that by an
AIT of the legislature of the state OF
California, approved March 20, 1889,
section 1927 of the political code was
amended to read as follows
's1127. The board Of supervisors OF
other board having charge and control o.

elections in each of the counties, and
cities and counties of the state, SHALL as
soon before general election as is con-
venient, proceed to divide each county,
or city and county, into election pre-
cincts, of which there shall be as many
as shall be sufficient to make the num-
ber of votes polled at any one election
precinct to be not more than two hun
dred, or as nearly az can be eascertained. Z"
Your petitioners respectfully represent
that the election to be held on the 4th
day of November prox., is a general
election within the meaning of the
above-quoted act.
We further represent and show to
your honorable body that at meeting
held by you on the-day of August,
1890, resolution was adopted whereby
it was resolved that the city of Los
Angeles should be divided into thirty
eight election precincts, and no more.
That by the figures above given of the
population of Los Angeles city and the
city of Pasadena, and in pursuance of
law, the city of Los Angeles should have
been divided by your honorable body
into five election precincts. That if
this is not done, large numbers Ofvoters
in these two cities will be prevented
from voting, and great inconvenience
will be caused those voting and in the
counting Of the votes cast.
Your petitioners therefore earnestly
urge and request your honorable body
to reconsider your former action in the
premises, and to divide the cities of
Los Angeles and Pasadena into election
precincts of which there shall be as
many as shall be sufficient to make the
number of votes polled at any one cleo
ton precinct to be not more than two
hundred, as nearly as can be ascer-
tanned.
And your petitioners will ever pray,
etc.

PENMAN'S LITTLE VICTIM.
A Little Girl at San Fernando Sub
jected to Outrage.

John Penman is resting behind the
bars of the county Jail with charge of
attempted rape pending against him.
Penman lives at San Fernando. 1t is
alleged that he took undue liberties with
the seven-year-old daughter of John
Brown, resident of the valley,
According to the evidence adduced at
the preliminary examination, Penman
appeared at Browns house on the Goth of
last month in light wagon. He asked
Mrs. Brown to permit him to take her
two children, one boy and one girl,
out driving. The mother consented, but
after Penman had been absent some time
she became worried, and sent neigh
Dor named Burr in search of the chill
dren.
Penman was found with the girl hid in
some bushes in compromising position.
AS soon as Penman saw Burr he ran. The
children were taken home and doctor
was called in. An examination dis
closed the fact that the villain had not
accomplished his purpose. Burr then
swore to warrant charging Penman with
attempted rape. He was arrested, given
preliminary examination on Saturday
and held to answer to the superior
court.

COURT NOTES.
Little Legal Matters Which Occurred
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
Yesterday the several departments of
the superior courts were reopened, the
judges having returned from their vaca-
tions. In department one, 7. J. Dorsey
was arraigned on charge of having COM
mitted an assault with deadly weapon
upon the person of John Abbott. The
assault was committed in the Eintracht
saloon on the Fourth of July. Dorsey is
policeman. The defendant was given
until Wednesday to plead.
The trial of Jose Yarba for the MUIR
der of Jesus Figueroa, was set for today
before Judge Cheney. Neither side was
ready, and continuance was asked and
granted. There are several absent wit
nesses whose presence is desired before
the case can.go on. On June 9Th Yorba
killed his man at San Gabriel The
trouble originated over game of cards.
The defense claims that the killing was
done in self defense.
The trial calendar will be called in
department one on Wednesday.
Judge Mckinley, who has been hold
ing court while the other judges have
been enjoying respite from their labors,
will now take brief season of rest him
self.

THE VINTAGE.
Crushing Has Began and the Red, Red
Wine is Running in Streams.

&NS0
Wine is Running in Streams.
The vintage of 1890 has begun in real
earnest.
Yesterday the crushers were started
in that great winery Of Chas. Stern and
Sons on Mission road near the covered
bridge. For the next two months this
concern will crush 100 tons day. A big
start was made by the firm when
the purchase of $500 tons from the
Nadeau vineyard has made. All that
could be learned as to the prices paid is
contained in a spirited remark made by
the head OF the firm to the effect that he
thought more was being paid than is
justified by the state of the markets in
the east. The varieties being first
crushed are Zinfandel and Truseau.
1t is something of an undertaking to
crush 5000 tons of grapes. The outcome
in wine is about 140 to $50 gallons to the
ton. Thus the 5000 tons will produce
about three-quarters of million gallons
of wine

favorite watering place, and great mum
bers of people have spent pleasant

A Great Man.

Rev. Dr. BrOadus recently related the
following incident during Sabbath school
talk in Detroit:
An old man used to sweep the street cross
ings for gratuitous pennies near the houses
of parliament for many years. One day he
was absent. Upon inquiry he was found
by missionary i'll in a little attic chamber
barely furnished with cot and stool.
''YOu are lonely here" the missionary
said. Has any one called upon you?"
''Oh yes." he replied. ''several persons
have called-Mr. Gladstone for one. He
called and read to me-"
''Mr. Gladstone called? And what did
he read?"
HE sat on that stool there and read the
Bible to me-"
What beautiful position! The greatest
statesman in the world. sitting on stool,

greatness by kindness to Gods poor

now. while then he was not. Then he had
friends and sympathzers at the North;
now, the North. satisfied that he is nomi-
nally free. knows and cares very little about
him. But in all its essentials the convict
system of the Southern States is slavery in
its worst form.
We appreciate the difficulties under
which the Southern State governments have
labOred since the war in providing proper
penal institutions, on account of the un-
willingness of the people to submit to rea-
sOnable taxes on real estate, and we freely
admit that this unwillingness grows largely
out of the embarrassmentS, debts and pow
erty of land owners, but it does seem that
the craftsmanship and humanity of the
South might provide some method of pun
ishing criminals which includes some re-
fOrlnatOry influences, and is not wholly
cruel. brutal and degrading. Minneapolis

Guying is Brutal.

Some day it will come to be understood
that guying moody, irritable man is as
dangerous as toying with gun which may
or may not be loaded. Temporary insanity
is, with some temperments. the sure result
of long continued and incessant ridicule.
The sort of madness which seized Private
Simmons in Rudyard Kipling's story pos
sesses the victim. and murder CLEANS from
the eye of man Heretofore peaceable and
inOffensive enough. A blind fury suddenly
converts his helpless weakness into super
human strength. With equal suddenness.
diSdain and contempt for him are changed
to fear and respect.
Every few days the crime columns of the
| newspapers contain accounts of tragedies
growing from such a cause. Revolver or
knife sends some tOrmentOr to his account,
and the real victim goes to prison for life or
is hanged. .4.---
It's cruel. cowardly instinct which
prompts combination against one man,
says the Buffalo Express. The others en-
joy brutal sport at the expense of his feel
ings. Such an unfortunate man. when
driven to desperation, is entitled to lenient
treatment by judge and jury. 1t is hardly
a crime which he has committed. 1t is
more the deed of a madman who is not re-
spOnsible for his actions. He needs i'm
prisOnment under conditions which will
change his nature and teach him wisdom
and self-contrOl 1t is generally an ILL
natured and unsocable man who is made
the object of ridcule by his fellows. He
doesn't know how to take joke" and his
impOtent resentment stirs up in feeling
against him. He is not strong enough to
master his own hatred. He shows his feel
ings and adds to the persistence of his tor
mentors.
A little more of the milk of human kind
ness and little more self-cOntrOl would
save millions of hours of sharp torture,
would save many man from injury and
death, and many another from prison cell
or the gallOws. The philanthrOpist who can
invent some antidote for this teasing instinct
will be one of the worlds benefactOrs.-
