Mr.. John p. Irish has been nominated for
congress in the third district This il not
equivalent TO an election, unhappily, since
there is Republican majority of between 1000
and 5000 to overcome, and Mr.. Irish has the
misfortune not to be any more popular in the
district than out of it. He has some elements
OF strength, however which must not be over
looked. Mr.. Irish has had political experience
"a great deal of it Shortly before he emf
grated from Iowa he ran for governor, and was
beaten by asplendid majority. On coming to
California he at once allied himself with the
craftsmanship department of the Southern Pa.

connection Herewith ever since. His efforts
during the eight or nine years of his residence
in this state to secure offices, appointiye
or elective, have given him q fund

Los Angeles herald., 1890-10-18

the Republican candidate has antag-
onized the Irish-American vote. Ut indi-
Gates so plainly that he who runs may
read that he relies simply on an Ameri-
can vote SO hidebound in its exclusive
ness that he is willing to antagonize the
whole foreign-born vote. The German,
Frenchman, italian, Englishman, and
men OF all caucasian foreign birth, will
be quick to resent such an attitude.
Nor is that by any means all the dam
aging results of this letter. The Ameri-
can born population of the state of
California has repeatedly placed itself
on record, and by overwhelming votes,
as opposed to Mongolian labor. Mr..
Markham has outraged this sentiment,
and he will be obliged to abide the con-
sequences.
Not only that, but the grave moral
derelictions for which Mr.. Markham has
been arraigned in the courts of his
country remain to be considered, and
they form most grave and compromis-
ing feature of his arraignment before
the voters of California. AS to these
last the HERALD will have much to say
in early issues,

A Wild Cuban.

The most interesting inmate of Bloom
ingdale Insane asylum, however, is a
young Cuban, whose family is an enor.
mously wealthy one in the city of Carde-
mas, Cuba. He has been in the institu-
ton year, and has improved so much
that his family intend to take him home
shortly.
He is medium sized man of % years,
with soft brown eyes, curly brown hair
and beautifully clear complexion. He
does not speak word of English, but
converses fuently in Spanish and
French.
When he first entered the place he was
wild, and severely thrashed several of
the attendants. The minute they turned
their eyes away from him he would
pounce upon them with the agility and
ferocity of tiger, and punch and kick
them until he was overpowered. Now
he has the quietest and most gentleman
ly manners in the world, and receives
all visitors with courtly hospitality

WITHOUT doubt there has come a
change for the better over this section
that will increase and intensity until it
reaches the proportions of food-tide of
real prosperity. At the bottom of this
lies the profits our farmers have made
during the past summer out of their
fruit and other crops. The winter will
duplicate this in the walnut, orange and
early vegetable crops. These things are
attracting attention at the. east, and
there is quiet, but very considerable
movement of people in here to seek
homes. Real estate men report an in
creasing demand for property offered
at fair prices, with sales max
ing daily. The best of it is that the
buyers are actual settlers, who proceed
at once to put up house, or to improve
their little farm. By next spring we ex-
pect to see real lively time in real
estate, and later on prices will move up
to notches not heretofore touched, or
even thought Of. There is only one semi
tropic section. 1t is quite limited in
area. For climate and productions it
has no parallel. These facts are be-
coming well understood. This bit of
territory will, in short time, TEEN with
population, and its lands will be held at
their true value.

SATURDAY. OCTOBER IS. 1890.
IN THE REPUBLICAN
RANKS.

As might have been expected, there
was fluttering amongst the Volsees on
the publication OF Colonel Markham 8
letter to Hallock approving of the dis
charge of the Irish miners and the
employment of Cinnamon in their
places.
The damaging facts have been treated
differently by different journals.
The San Francisco Call, which proves
to be in this campaign, as usual, the
most unscrupulous of the Republican
journals, calls the letter forgery.
The Chronicle wisely says, in effect,
that the letter was written away back in
1881, and that at that time Mr.. Mark
am had the ordinary eastern notions
put labor, but that he knows better
".
his is what in law is known as con-
On and evasion.
1.-The journals published in Los An
prche Tribune says nothing editori-
aiIe
hqExpress, in the first moments of
o4"s Res, of yesterday, took more
es Jude, but it could not forego
its usual disingenuousness. 1t says that
the Sacramento convention knew all
about the Hallock letter when Mark
ham was nominated. As matter of
fact, this is not true. 1t did not form
part of the Boruck attacks upon the Re-
publican candidate. 1t is new matter
absolutely new matter. If that body
had been aware of the existence of such
o letter, Morrow and not Markham
would have been the Republican candi-
date.
The Times, however, gives the game
away in sentence whose meaning no
man of ordinary intelligence can doubt.
It says, in the course of long, labored
and disingenuous article:
Looking at these charges from the
standpoint of practical politics, consid-
eriDg the smallness of the Irish vote in
California and the small percentage of
that vote which can be expected to sup
port the Republican ticket; also con-
sidering the large number of respectable
vOtclo, lIlSuuucu DIS we'll dS OCnorS, VINO
believe that workingmen of all nation
alities should give value received for
their wages, 1t appears, to the man up
tree, that the authors of this great ex-
pose have firedsof something which is
likely to prove boomerang. They are
certainly welcome to all they can make
out of it. A cause must be weak indeed
which has to resort to such puerile
tricks.
The gist of the foregoing lies in nut
shell. Considering the smallness of
s'the Irish vote in California, and the
.ssmall percentage of that vote that can
'sbe expected to vote the Republican
ticket" The Times is understood to
be very near to Colonel Markham; one
Of its stockholders is accompanying the
Republican candidate in his rounds; do
we strain any fair line of Interpretation
in assuming that the Republican candi-
date not only stands by the Hallock
letter, but that he is prepared to take
his chances of an election on the theory
that be can win without the foreign
born vote?
For . preference Of Mongolian over
foreign labor does not simply mean that
