ANGELES MORNING. 1890

in the San Gabriel valley. The finest
English walnut trees in Los Angeles
county are to be found in the bottom
lands of the rancho San Felipe Lugo.
A truck gardener who would drain and
cultivate these lands would make a for
tune in very short time. They would
yield incredible quantities Of all kinds
of vegetables.
Those who are tempted eastward by
the inviting prospects to be found in
Pomona and San Bernardino and inter-
mediate places, would do well to halt
long enough to take count OF the bar
gains which are at his command in the
San Gabriel valley. Meanwhile, Mr.. E.
j. Baldwin should hurry forward his
work of subdividing the Santa Anita
and the other valuable ranches which
he possesses. The public are ready to
buy these lands as fast as they are
mapped and plated.

Something for the New Year.

burg Pa, under their own immediate supervis-
ion, employing 60 hands in that department.

will be more than ten millions, printed in the
English, German, French Welsh, Norwegian,
Swedish, Holland, Bohemian and Spanish Ian
guages. Refer to copy of it for valuable and
interesting reading concerning health, and
numerous testimonials as to the efficacy of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, amusement, varied
information, astronomical calculations and
chronological items, &c, which can be de-

The part that news men play in
public affairs and in lance in the
United States is often overlooked
Many of the Napoleons Of Wall street
have been knights OF the quill. Jay
Gould began his career by issuing a
publication like the ILLUSTRATED HER
AID, although, of course, not comparing
in merit with that artistic work. He
was writer before he became a fnan-
cier. Henry Willard first attracted at
tention by his good reportorial work on
the Omaha Bee. Few people know that
before old Simon Cameron became an
Indian agent and afterwards banker
and millionaire he was for years first
hard-working printer and afterwards
an editor. In fact, it requires a great
deal of ingenuity on the part of news
paper man to prevent his becoming a
millionaire. The history Of the late
Tribune, of this city, proves this fact
beyond controversy.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-12-30
A PECULIAR PROCESS OF DISINTEGRA.
TION,

Undoubtedly the most striking thing
in the political developments OF the day
is the independent attitude which has
been assumed by the western Republi-
can leaders. Such broad gauge men as
VIM. M. Stewart and John P. Jones OF
Nevada have nothing in common with
such finicky pseudo statesmen as George
Frisbie Hoar, VIM. f. Frye, John Cabot
Lodge, and other dilettanti old grand
mothers. The last individual is young
man, and ought to have more sense.
Senator Stewart has shown his disre-
gard of the party lash on two memorable
occasions. The first time was when he
voted for the confirmation of Senator La
mar as a justice of the supreme court of
the United States. The second was of re-
cent occurrence, when he got up in his
place and denounced the force
bill in the terms it so richly
deserved. 1t is a gratifying thing
to note that all the Pacific
coast Republican senators are disposed
to buck at this kind of legislation. The
old race OF virile Republican politicians
thatwere sent to both houses of con-
gress from New England and the north
generally is being rapidly replaced by
lot of scholastic Miss Nancys, of whom
John Cabot Lodge is bright exempIar.
The attempt to again convert the states
of the south into satrapies will not be
without good. 1t will kill politically all
the feeble-forcible public functionaries,
from Harrison down, who have been EN-
gagged in it. In line with the reflections
begotten OF this matter, it is worthy of
notice that Mr.. James G. Blaine is, in
quite remarkable manner, at variance
with the administration cf which he is
the nominal head. He was opposed to
the Mckinley bill, he is opposed to the
force bill, and the only thing he
seems to favor is sort of vague
and general reciprocity with the
South and Central American re-
publics. One is almost tempted to
forget the Mulligan letters in ones ad-
miration at Blaine's determined stand
against the original force bill, which he
defeated by ruling, which Reed has
reversed, that members present and not
voting should not be counted. Alto
gether the grand old party is in bad
way. The brains of that organization
are drifting away from it, and the brawny
manhood of the nation are following suit.
When an old dodderer, like Hoar, and a
curled exquisite, like Lodge, reinforced
by a big bully, like Reed, with a big
gavel and an inordinately big conceit
of himself, are all that are left OF
the Republican party from the east,
with little Benny thrown in as a trifing
makeweight, it is high time that such
people as Jones, and Stewart, and Pad
dock, and Teller, and a dozen others,
should look out for some place to land.
They certainly cannot abide such lead
ership, and they have shown that they
will not. Meanwhile Lodge can 60 on
parting his hair in the middle and
mouthing pretty phrases, and the party
can keep,on going to the demnition bow
vows, with no return ticket and no
public regrets audibly expressed at
their engulfment in political chaos.

WHERE is CHADWICK
The Notorious Damron and His Friend
Again Before the Public.

Again before the FuDllC.
At 10 O'Clock yesterday morning, when
the civil suit brought by w. H. Holmes
to recover judgment for $500, against A.
J. Vinton, was called for trial in Justice
Austin's court room, the plaintiff IS
attorney asked for continuance on the
ground of the absence of material
witness. The defense having announced
its readiness to proceed with the case,
objected to continuance, but the court
granted the plaintiffs counsel one hour
in which to file an affidavit in support OF
his motion.
Shortly after IL o'clock the plaintiffs
affidavit was filed.
In it Mr.. Holmes alleged that he
could not safely proceed to trial on ac-
count of the absence of j. S. Chadwick,
material witness, whom he was in
formed by DR.. La Moyne was in Mexico,
but would return within ten days. The
plaintiff swore that he had issued no
subpoena for Chadwick because of the
fact that bench warrant was out for
his arrest.
A. J. Vinton, the defendant, filed
counter affidavit, in which he swore
that j. M. Damron had himself sworn
in open court that he was interested in
the case; that the said Damron had
taken the affiant Vinton to see Chad
wick at a place where 'the said Chad
wick had gone into temporary retire
ment" in the neighborhood of Hill street,
near Temple, on two occasions, after
Los Angeles herald., 1890-12-30

On THE principle of discovering some
thing good in things that are evil on
their face, it is just possible that the
railway combine may not be of un-
mixed injury to the business public In
the first place, it will put all merchants
on an equal footing. If there have been,
as reported in quarters that smack of
authority, rebates and Determinations,
these can scarcely be maintained in
view of such a combination. Uniform
rates will probably be insisted upon,
even il they should be somewhat higher
than those in vogue hitherto. Most
business men will find this a welcome
change. Meanwhile, the reasons that
enforce moderation on all intelligent cor
porations, in both passenger and freight
charges, will lose none Of their force.
That more money can be made on low
than on high schedules the Canadian
Pacific railway is daily proving. That
road is walking all around its American
rivals, and people travel thousands of
miles by steamers and sailing vessels to
reach it's shelter of low fares across the
continent.

THE report of the grand jury is very
voluminous document, and synopsis
of it will be found in our local columns.
1t is full of recommendations, and its
preparation shows praiseworthy labor
upon the part of its compiler. AS it
would fill about six columns of the
HERALD in small type our readers would
probably prefer to take it boiled down.

of vital importance to the tranquil working of any election system, will be wholly wanting. Opposition to this extraordinary measure is not, as Republican speakers and the Re publican press allege, indicative of a disposition to tolerate suppression of the colored vote, or the wholesale buying of white voters in blocks of five. Such opposition rests upon the ground that, whatever the ex- tent of the evil, the remedy pro- posed is a much greater evil.- Harper's Weekly.

The Apaches.

The latest report from the small
 band of Indians said to have been seen in the Chiracahua mountains last week, is taken from the Lords burg Liberal, which states that Lieutenant Evans, who was sent down to San Simon valley, had re- turned and reported that when it was discovered that Howell's camp had been raided, number of the cowboys from the roundup took the trail and followed them. They discovered that there were four mounted Indians and one led horse. They pressed the Indians so close that they dropped a Winchester, which shows that they were we'll supplied with arms. They made for the Sierra Madres, and as they were we'll acquainted with the coun- try, made good their escape. Lieu tenant Evans has sent a detachment of ten men down into that country to stay.-Prospector.

4 Relic of an Ancieut Race.

1 During the recent visit of Messrs
 Jesse R. Grant and Chas. J. Vim
 pie to Sonora, Mexico, on mining
 business, they were much struck
 with the sight of a terraced noun
 tain. It is located about fifty miles
 southwest form Magdelena. The
 mountain is circular in from, about
 three quarters of mile in diame-
 ter at the base, and is terraced from
 base to peak. The night of the ter
 race is from ten to twelve feet in
 night and in many places is built
 of solid masonry. At many other places itis cut out of the solid rock. The roadway is from fifteen to twenty feet in width, starting at the base of the mountain and coiling itself spiral like to the peak of the mountain which is not less than 1900 feet higher than the base of the mountain. The cost of the con- strution and cutting out of the solid rock their terraced road must have been enormous, and the remarkable features of wonder is the state of it's preservation, here and there the masonery has yield to the crumb- ling influences of time, but this is an exception.
 Who did this work and what could have been its purpose, is in a great measure conjecture. Some may say 1t is the work of the Aztecs, others the Toltec or other ancient races.
 At the base ot this terraced noun tain is mighty rock, which has the appearance of having been hewn out of "a solid rock, and weighs an hundred tons or more. It is placed at the mouth of what appears to be the entrance to this terraced | mountain. Here another query is Does this door to the | open the way to mineral treasure, or to the shrine of ancient | devotees? Again does the .erraced road which coils it's way | 70 the peak of themountain lead to he shrine of the ancient vestal vir- gin who kept eternal watch on the sacred fire which was meyer suffer- ed to die?
 One thing is certain there is a wide field for those near at home, who wander far into Egypt and Persia, to study the mysteries of he hidden past.-Star.

Another Sudden Death.

James Scow came here from Dos Cabezas on Sunday afternoon last
 bringing the sad intelligence that August Fowler, brother of William Fowler, had died suddenly, presum. ably from heart disease, Sunday morning. Mr. Fowler had been ailing for sometime. Sunday morn ing he came to the house of his brother William, and stating that he was feeling badly, laid down on a bed. William went to a neighbor's shortly after, and on returning home in about an hour found his brother dead. The deceased was a young man of excellent character, a Scotchman by birth, and had lived in this section for a good many years. All who knew him will read of his too early death with sadness.-Wllcox Stock kman.

Mad Seals.

Kansas City July 1O.-Franl Terry, Wells-Fargo express mes senger, his helper and a baggage
 man, had a lively experience with ; mammoth seal on a Santa Fe trair
 here. There were four seals order ed from the Seal Island in the Pa cifc for the New York Geological garden. They left San Francisco in large wood boxes.
 The absence of water proved dis , astrous to three of the seals. One seal, a female, died at Denver. On the train between that point and Kansas City one of the males went mad and attacked his mate, killing her almost instantly by biting her head nearly off. He raved for sev- eral hours, and the express mes- senger and other occupants ofthe car were considerably frightened lest he break the strong cage and escape:
 The animal was finally Quieted and gave the messenger no furth- CT trouble until Argentine was reached. Then he became furious and raising himself on his fore most fins, used his tail with such force that he broke the cage into pieces Ill less time than it takes to tell it, and then believing loudly made an attack on Express Mes senger Terry. He jumped on large pile ofexrress matter but was quick ly driven from that position. The men~at last made their escape through the side door of the car and closed it behind them. The seal ragged and then dropped dead. The carcass, weighing SIS pounds, was taken to the Armour packing house and skinned. The other seal was watered and shipped on to New York.

According to the Investigations made by Dr. John Crowell, the in- stances of poisoning from the use of leaden pipes in the distribution of potable water are very rare, the practical fact which interests the users of water conducted through leaden pipes being rather that when mineral salts are present in the wa ter their action with the lead causes an insoluble coating upon the inner surface of the pipe, which forms a protection against all the harmful effects of lead-poisoning; it is we'll, however, when lead is used for ser vice pipes, to open the facet in the morning, allowing the accumulated water to run off before drawing a supply for family use.-New York Tribune.

In the forests of Washington and British. Columbia I have frequently seen the trees dripping eopiously during clear, bright days, when no dew was visible elsewhere. The dripping was so profuse that the ground underneath the trees was almost saturated. The phenomenon in this case was caused by the re- markable condensing power of the leaves of the fir, and it occurred only when the relative humidity was near the dew point. The drip ping ceases after 10 or Il o'clock in the morning, but resumes at or near sunset.-Seattle Post-Intelli- gencer.
