much larger block on the opposite side
of the street. The sale of the two fine
lots on the corner of Third and Broad
way will lead at once to the building of
a magnificent block that would be a
credit to Broadway, New York. No
edifice in San Francisco will surpass
this.
There is good deal of capital
coming into this section which will Wv
ify many industries and result in i'm
provement in various lines. The sale of
Rattlesnake island will bring here, in
all, 100000. The Redondo company
paid up the last of the purchase price OF
that property the other day and took a
deed for it. That was 100000. The
sale OF the Fulton block week ago to
San Francisco parties was for 500, 600,
and the sale on the corner of Broadway
and Second referred to above was for
like amount. Outside OF the
city the Pomona and Elsinore road is to
be built at once, and the Temescal tin
mines are to be thoroughly worked.
h Any one who glances at this small
suggestion of enterprises must see a
hint of prosperity in it all, and the
shrewd will see hint as to enhanced
values for land.

Gaining a Reputation with E...

A South Carolina physician, asked
why he located at Monclova, said: "It is
first rate place for doctor. If a man
is sick all you have to do is to tell his
friends (no matter whether the affair is
serious or not) to go to priest and have
him confessed and prepared for death
II he dies they will say: What good
doctor he is. He knew he must die, and
so had hisspiritual interests attended to,
Ii ne RECEIVERS they will say: What a
capable physician he must be. The man
was in the last extremity and prepared
for death, and he cured him. So in either
event it is first rate place in which to
achieve medical reputation. Medical

ALL through the late campaign in this
state the Republican press did no end of
misrepresentation in making out that
boss Buckley was behind Pond. This
was done in the face of the most patent
facts. The ''lambs" from hades to the
matutinal repast knitted Pond for coin to
them and their boss in hand paid by the
great mogul of the Republican party,
and by the grasping corporations of the
Bay city. Now the same press, with
as full knowledge of the variance
between the facts and the statements
tell us that the sweeping Republican
victory there was all only rebuke to
bossism and the boss. Why, south of
Market street, where the boss reigns su-
preme, and in precincts where there is
mot sufficient respectability to make
light spot in the darkness, nor sufficient
honesty to keep up a fair average
in penitentiary, there the Republican
majorities swamped the Democratic
minorities. Was this rebuke to the
devil, administered by his imps? Bah!
if you must tell lies, for
sake tell shrewd ones, and not

READERS of the HERALD will regret to
learn of the very dangerous illness of
ex-Mayor John Bryson, sr. He has
been very i'll from an attack of pleuro-
pneumonia for ten days past, and is
sinking rapidly. Although of very ro-
bust physique, he has reached the ad-
age of ~, and such an attack is hard to
withstand withstand even III the the case ef yeunS
man. Mr.. Bryson has been a
most useful citizen in this COM
munity, and has aided among
the very foremost ranks of our
most enterprising citizens in building up
the city. His loss would be much felt
and his absence would make large void
in the enterprises Of the city. We will
all cling to the hope that he may be
spared still for many years of usefulness.

A "REFORM" MOVEMENT.
Some Solid Citizens Come Out For
One.

Some Solid Citizens Come Out For
A lot of political cranks held reform
meeting yesterday evening, details of
which appear elsewhere in the HERALD
this morning. The same people issued
circular which has been given wide
circulation. 1t is needless to tell people
posted at all in politics that these fell
lows are only playing at the game. They
are not in it as a faction in city affairs.
But there is movement being
quietly worked here in the city
that will put the two old parties on
their ps and qs or they will be swamped.
1t is not yet possible to give the names
OF those in this movement, but they are
said to be people not novices in politics.
They are all business men of the highest
preventative type, bankers, merchants,
manufacturers, business men and tax
payers from top to bottom. A HERALD
reporter got wind of this some time ago,
and yesterday succeeded in unearthing
one of the prime movers in the scheme.
He said: eyes, / am in for reform
in municipal politics. The inde-
pendent voter is power in
politics that is increasing. Look at the
scratching done in the state election
Tuesday. 1t is time this was so. am
a Republican, but study up tie way our
city government has been run for the
past two years. There are too many
Republicans in Office, and they all COM
bine and there is no one to watch what
schemes they put up. Why, ifit had not
been for Mayor Hazard believe those
fellows would have stolen the streets
and sidewalks. Our plan has been
Matching for month or more. We
propose to get together by special invi-
tation meeting of representative tax
payers from every ward, and confer as
to the matter. Some one person of
wide acquaintance and good judgment
will be selected in each ward. He will
choose a committee of, say six, tax
payers in his ward, and these six will
select a man to run for the council. All
these committees from the several
wards will meet to name the
general officers of the city. One
of the obligations put on those
who take part in the movement, is that
they will not seek any Office, elective or
appointive, under the city government
sought to be elected. We will meet be-
fore either of the party conventions are
held, and have our ticket in the field.
1t Is my opinion that we will put a
ticket in the field SO strong that it will
compel the parties to endorse our men
the Democrats those of that party on
our ticket, and the Republicans those of
their political faith. If they do not,
and put up good men, all right, who
ever may be elected will be good citi-
zen; and If the old parties put up bad
man, all right too; then our man will
be elected. There is our plan. 1t is
pure, it is simple it will win."
1t looks like strong combination
from the plan set forth and from the
stability and influence of the men
whose names are whispered in connec-
tion with it. 1t will put the old parties
on their mettle to nominate thoroughly
reliable men for all the offices, for ii
they do not the band will play Annie
Roonie, followed by McGinty.

SILVER is beaten down to $1.022,
nearly as low as ever it was. The peo-
pie had just time to see how falsely the
Republican congress dealt with this
issue before election day came on. Well,
the traitors to silver have heard the
peoples opinion on that head. The
only shrewd one in the lot was Conger,
of Iowa, who BETRAYED his constituents
by joining with Gar Reed, and little
Ben, to defeat free coinage. He dare
mot go back to his people, but got con-
Hulship down in Brazil. The other fel-
lows went back to their homes with
results now known.

IT rs currently reported that some of
the firms engaged in this section in the
fruit-handling business have cleared
from $4,000 to four times that much
each. Some of these concerns were
started with very little capital. There
is very enticing opening here for cap
ital in this business. The fruit industry
is expanding at a very rapid rate, and
will do so for years to come. Capital
will be- needed in this work, and the
profits will be large.

JOHN SHERMAN, with frozen and ex-
pansive cheek, says he has seen such
revolts as that of Tuesday many times
before. John is supposed to rival in his
longevity the century-living crow, but
he must be referring to some former
period OF, existence, when his soul inhab-
tied some fish, when this took place.
These were episodes in pre-Adamite his

all tablets excepting Johns hard and

In 1874 tidal wave in politics gave a
Democratic majority of 81 in the house OF
representatives. Two years later Samuel
J. Tilden was elected president. In 1882
q similar tidal wave resulted in Demo
cratic majority of II in the lower house,
and in 1884 we elected Grover Cleveland
president. In 1890 the great upheaval
gives us majority of about 120. In
1892 the country will still be with us, as
in 1875 and 1882, and we will again cap
ture the national government.

Cleaning Lamps by Machinery.

gauze of miners safety lamps has been
introduced into the Wombwell collier

A Ranxan Grove.

Near Clifford station, on the Staten
Island railroad, there is peculiar piece
of woodland, spot where the roots of
the trees all attach themselves to the
trunks at from four to six feet above the
level of the ground, givingto the stumps
an odd, spidery appearance. The soil of
the vicinity is very porous, which lends
weight to the opinion that the banyan
like grove has been formed by the action
of frost and water.-St. Paul Republic.

THE OFFICE OF SORROW.

Tho Most Important OF All the Conditions
Affecting Spiritual Development.
The most important Of all the condi-
tions affecting the spiritual develop
ment Of mankind has been sorrow.
In death, the common lot OF all, even
the rich and the strong have beheld the
despoiler OF all their vain shows.
Against the inevitable calamities which
shatter or dissolve the wor1s Of mans
hand-earthqu quake and tempest and flood
no human power has availed. These
lessons OF nature, who is no respecter
OF classes or persons, as TO the frailty OF
all human power and possession, have
profoundly impressed all hearts. Loss
has led to precious gain.
But the greatest OF human sufierings,
those which embltter all life, have been
OF human inhiction. The situation OF
the great majority OF mankind In an
cient times-those OF which we have
any definite record-was one Of abject
wretchedness. Arcadia existed only In
the poets fancy. In state OF barbar-
ism mems wants were few and simple,
but their passions we're violent, and for
the weak there was no security. Every
desirable garden on the earth was bait
to the rapacity Of conquest the arena
OF invasion following upon invasion,
like the waves OF a hungry sea. Civili-
zation, on the other hand, was organ
lied selhshness, and its peace, was, for
the great body Of the people, a level
desolation. Their lot was one OF hui
initiating drudgery, Of depressing, hope
less poverty.
But 1t was especially unto the poor
that the Gospel OF the Eternal Word
was preached. To such the voice Of
God comes nearer, because II is more
willingly and gladly heard. The broken
heart is open; there is no pride to close
the way thereunto. An angel whispers
In the car oi every slave, and upon him
who hath nothing all Heaven waits.
Sorrow, too, lies near true repent
ance, even as the broken becomes read
lily the contrite heart; pride has nc
| place in It's chastened and subdued
mood. The soul, weary Of struggle and
OF its own discomfort, receives the Di'
vine voice and is comforted. Even
ones ignorance may help him here, in
this sof:, unresisting attitude, making
him more readily the recipient OF the
Divine wisdom, more plant TO the
counsels of the Spirit Of Love.-God In

TARIFF REDUCTION.

Comparison of the House and Senate
Bills rs Regards Revenue From Impor-
tations.
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The clerk Of
the Senate Finance Committee has COM
pleted the preparation Of the statement
called for by the Plumb resolution adop-
ted by the Senate, showing the increases
and reductions In revenue which are
estimated TO follow the enactment OF
the Senate tariff bill compared with the
present law and the Mckinley bill The
importatlons for the fiscal year OF duti-
able goods, the rates on which II Is pro-
posed to change, aggregated $500, 4S7, liz
In value and the duties collected on
these aggregated s161, 4Os,s4e. The esti-
mated duties on these articles Tor an ag-
gregate equal to that OF the fiscal year,
under the House bill Is estimated at
5000, ,S44,9 ,977, while under the Senate bill
the estimated receipts from the same
aggregate are S2O1, $50, ,907. r
Tho House bill transferred TO the free
list articles which during the fiscal year
1889 were received In aggregate value OF
s107, ,921, ,7S6 and paid duty amounting to
$50, ,73o, 800. The Senate bill transfers
to the free list articles valued in the
importations for 1889 at S1Os, ,9l9, ,9O7 and
paying an aggregate duty Of 1850, S4s.
Adding to the first Of these amounts the
amount OF the internal revenue reduc-
tion found In the House bill land struck
out OF the Senate billy, the total reduc'
ton Of revenue by the House bill Is
found to be ST., O64, TIA, while that Of the
