Erminie Produced Last Night at the
Grand.
Such an immense and brilliant audi
ence is rarely seen at the Grand as ap-
peared slast night to see the w. T.
Carleton company in Erminie. The
production was so far the most finished
of the week. There was not point
missed in it anywhere. The staging
was work of art, and all the beautiful
pictures were brought out to the life,
The costumes were rich enough for real
court fete. Carleton's own rendering of
the robber part was full of vigor, and he
sang we'll. He favored the audience,
too, with that gem of love ballads, Mol
loy's Rose Marie, whose tender passion
was interpreted perfectly. Mr.. Bigelow
as the other robber was in much better
vein than in anything he has tried be-
fore. Miss Lane as Gavotte was as chic
as could be imagined, and she sang with
much spirit as we'll as sweetness.
Miss Vincent was far handsomer
as Erminie than on the previous night
as Ninon, and she sang the Lullaby song
with great sweetness and expression.
The minor parts were done better than
acceptably, and the ensembles were ex-
cellently done. The whole production
was very much enjoyed by the great
and cultivated audience. In Rose Marie
Mr.. Carleton was recalled four times.

The spoiIs System Un-American.

The system of patronage in offices we
have always had, but it is none the less
a system born of despotisms and aris-
tocracies, and it is the merest cant to
call it American. 1t is system of fa-
yoritism and nepotism, of political in
fiuence and personal intrigue. In a
word it is as un-American as any,
thing could be, for a system by
which Louis XIV and his success
ors drained the life-blood of the French
people, and by which Sir Robert
Walpole and his successors corrupted
the British parliament, has no proper
place on American soil, and is utterly
abhorrent to the ideas upon which the
democratic government of the United
States has been founded and built up.
Whatever may be said Or or against the
substitute ew hich is now in part estab-
lished tbs at least grounded on the Amer
lean idea of a fair field and no favor, and
this of itself is sufficient to prove it
superior to system which is all favor
and no field at all.-[Henry Cabot Lodge

DESTROY THE SPARROWs.

The American Ornithologists' union
officially recommends that all public fos-
tering of the English sparrow be stopped !:
that its introduction into new localities
be prohibited by law, and that all exist
ing laws for it's protection be repealed
and bounties offered for its destruction.
Christian at Work.
Destroy the sparrows" is good ad-
vice. They are a worthless, pestiferous,
destructive bird. 1t was at irst believed
that if English sparrows were brought
to this country they would eat worms
and vermin and relieve the trees from
ruinous parasites. But instead of doing
that they turned out to be voracious for
ayers upon the fruit, and have done
more damage to horticulturists than
annual visitations of devouring locusts.
Not only have they proven themselves
ravishers of fruit orchards, but they are
the deadly enemies of some of our most
favorite little feathered friends. Before
the march of the English sparrow the
California linnet, one of the sweetest
and most melodious of our native birds.
disappears. The sparrows are the Chi
nese of the feathered tribe; they are ag-
gressive, and the timid linnet soon
abandons any locality they have in
vaded. San Francisco and Oakland
were at one time the home of the
linnet; but not one can now be discov-
cred in the gardens or parks of those
cities. They have all abandoned their
former haunts to the invader. So far
Los Angeles has been free from the
English sparrow. He has not as yet
ventured this far south; but his advent
is dreaded by those who know his
piratical character. He should be deci-
mated if he makes his appearance.
He is an outlaw and pest. If he is
permitted to come here he will soon
make way with the native linnet, the
pet of our. gardens, the sweet warbler
who builds his nest in the vines under
our windows. and cheers us with his
melodious notes. Whatever can be done
to quarantine us from any possible in
vasion OF the detestable English SPAR
row should be done as soon as he is
found to be on the way here. Pepper
shot hunting parties should become the
rage if he shows himself in this section.

The Obeiisk Now Acclimated

The obelisk in Central park, New
York, which it was feared would crum-
BILE away, is pronounced by experts to be
in an excellent state of preservation.
Besides becoming more and more accli-
mated by time to the severe and destruc-
tive climate of New York, it has been
preserved by modern expedients. The
principal one of these is paraffine, which
is literally smeared oyer its sides, and on
whose smooth and impervious surface
the rains beat and the winds blow with
out doing the least harm to the obelisk
itself. To be sure, under this process
the hieroglyphics which give it an in
terest to antiquarians and scholars are
obliterated, and it looks like a huge pill
lar of leaf lard or tallow, but what does
New York care for that? Its obelisk is
still an obelisk, and New York is about
as proud of the paraffinic art by which
it is preserved as Egypt was of it's COR

The election commissioners of San
Francisco are satisfied that there are
ten thousand suffers on the great regis
ter. T. J. L. Smiley, the Republican
registrar, who showed great disinclina-
tion to take any steps to purify the list,
admits that it is his belief and he has
so stated, in public, that there are that
many names on the great register which
have no right to be there. These names
are placed on the list in the interest Of
the Republican party, and Smiley will
do all in his power to prevent its purga-
tion. Indeed, at the last meeting of the
commissioner he showed most obstrep-
erous and contumacious spirit, and it
was only after Mr.. Strother, president of
the board, had threatened him with
summary prosecution before the courts
that he agreed to send out citations.

in San Francisco. The low lodging
houses have been choked with tramps
and houses that usually have eight or
ten voters have been found to have from
thirty to forty roomers on the register.
This seems to have been done more
thoroughly in the close Democratic pre-
cincts than in the others, showing that
the Stanford sack is being carefully
and systematically nsed to carry the
legislature by stuffing those precincts
with tramps, or. placing fictitious names
on the great register that will be voted
by repeaters. Strother and all the COM
missioners excepting one, who is Re-
publican, have declared thatthey will sift
the registration of fraudulent names to
the bottom. 1t will be difficult job to
accomplish, but they are determined to
unearth the frauds, if it is possible.

A LEVEL HEAD.
The Advantage of Presence of Mind
in an Emergency.


During the late strike on the New
York Central railroad, the militia were
ordered to be in readiness in case of
riot, but they were not called out.
In an interview, Governor Hill said the
troops were not to be called upon except
in case of an emergency. The emergency
had not arisen, therefore they would not
be ordered out. He remarked that this
was the first great strike with which he
had had experience, and he did not pro-
pose to lose his head the only point at
which there had been serious trouble
was at Syracuse, and there deputy
sheriff had lost his head and precipitated
an encounter.
The strike continued several weeks,
and there was riotous action at various
points along the road, but the civil
authorities were able to cope with it
without calling on the militia.
The test of mans real ability comes
when an emergency arises which makes
a hasty call on his good judgment and
discretion. The man who retains his
presence of mind, maintains his euui-
poise and exercises sound discretion at
such critical iunctures, is to be relied on
and will be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the stay
ing qualities which do not falter in the
face of danger. Otis A. Cole, of Kins-
man, o., June 10, 1890, writes: "In the
fall of 1888 was feeling very i'll. con-
suited doctor and he said 1 had
Bright's disease of the kidneys, and that
he would not stand in nv shoes for
the state of Ohio" But he did not
lose courage or give up; he says: "Isaw
the testimonial of Mr.. John Coleman,
100 Gregory street, New Haven, Conn. i,
and l wrote to him. In due time I re-
ceived an answer, stating that the testi-
monial that he gave was genuine and
not overdrawn in any particular. I
took a good many bottles of Warmers
Safe Cure; have not takenSany for one
year."
Governor Hill is accounted very sue
cessful man he is cool and calculating
and belongs to the class that do not lose
their heads when emergencies arise.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-10-24

On October 9th, Messrs. Arnold, Con-
stable & Company, the great New York
shopkeepers, issued a bulletin, saying
that owing to the new tariff tax the
prices of all woolen goods would be ad-
vanced, giving the schedules and grades.
On some of the finer articles the advance
was not very great, but in the line of
fannels for children's apparel and for
general underwear, that is, the cheaper
grades, the increase of price is five cents
a yard. The thick and thin Republican
journals have denied that the necessities
of life would be made dearer by the
tariff, but only five days before this pub
lished list of new prices, Bradstreet's, in
its dissection of the Mckinley bill, pub
lished the following conclusions:
i"The rates on wooden and worsted
yarns and cloths will show heavy in
creases. On woolen and worsted cloths,
knit fabrics and manufactures of every
description, made wholly or in part of
wool or worsted, the rate is increased
from 1Oc. per pound and 35c. ad valorem
to duty ranging from 33c per pound
and 40 per cent. ad valorem to 44c. per
pound and 30 per cent. ad valorem.
The rates on blankets, hats and flannel
underwear also show marked increases.
The same is true of women's and chill
dren's dress goods, coat Innings and
Italian cloths, weddings, bindings;
braids, and, indeed, most of the articles
in the wool schedule. On Aubusson,
Administer, Moquette, Chenille, Saxony,
Wilton and other similar carpets the
rates are increased from 45c. per square
yard and 80 per cent. ad valorem to 60c.
per square yard and 40 per cent. ad
valorem. On the cheaper grades OF car
pets the increase is greater in proper
tion."
And now the blow has fallen, and the
prices of the articles that make the
clothing of the common people and car
pet their floors and cover their heads are
increased from ten to twenty per cent,
az specifically declared and advertised
"on account OF the new tariff" And
yet this very California, whose people
need wooden clothing more than any
other people under the sun, is told
daily and nightly by paid haranguers
that the tariff is not tax. Nothing so
wretched and shameful as this was ever
before undertaken by any party in this
country. Will such campaign succeed?
Are the people fools? And are the
scoundrels in politics henceforth to be
the governing power?

Aluminium From CLAW.

Prof. Joseph M. Hirsh of Chicago has
exhibited the process by which he is
enabled to extract aluminium from clay
at cost of only few cents per pound,
and declares the process is entirely diff
ferent from any known to the books.
The announcement of this discovery
was made some time ago, with the result
that he was attacked as fraud.
Since the first announcement of the
discovery was made, Prof. Hirsh has
been quietly completing arrangements
to begin active operations. He has
leased two five-story buildings. He
claims to have manufactured two thou
sand pounds OF aluminium already, and
