WHEN the establishment of a per-
manent Southern Californian exhibit of
products in Chicago became fixed fact
and the name of Major Truman was
suggested for resident agent, we at once
said that he was the man of all men to
take charge. of the exhibit. Since he
has assumed his duties he has verified
our endoI sement in thousand ways.
He is more universally known than any
other Californian, and he has knack of
getting into the good graces of news
paper men which is of inestimable value
to him as promoter of the interests of
our section. The Chicago Evening
Journal has lengthy and interesting
interview with the major, in which he,
with his usual facility of description and
clearness of statement, gives Southern
California a most glowing send-of. 1t is
one of those combinations of attractive
facts combined with soft and poetic
pictures of country of matchless allure
ments that cannot but create strong
and lasting impression upon the mind
OF q dweller in the cold and prosaic east.

Restored After Five Years.

Five years ago little Johnny Hale,
then lad only years old, was stolen
from his home, near Marion, Ind, by
band of gypsies. The distracted parents
spent several years trying to find traces
of their missing boy, but gave up the
search, mourning him as dead. The lad
became attached to his gypsy friends
and followed them on their pilgrimage
through the western states. The other
day a boy-none other than Johnny
Hale-stopped at the residence of q
farmer named Joseph Weikel, living near
Elkhart. His clothes were ragged and
he had the appearance of boy tramp.
He told Mr.. Weikel that the gypsies
with whom he had been making his
home had maltreated him and that he
had run away, hoping to find his way
home to his father and mother. The
parents at Marion were telegraphed, and
the boy mourned for dead for five long
years is to be restored to them. m.-Chicago

New STYLES in Postal Cards.

"We may decide on a pale blue shade"
said Postmaster General Wanamaker in
talking of the new postal cards, "or a
pale gray shade, or it may be that a pearl
or yellow shade would be best. The
color and size is still subject to change.
The pale gray was the color we favored,
but, as l say, we may later decide on
some pale shade of blue, or perhaps on
pearl or yellow"
These new postal cards will be the
handsomest things of the sort ever offered
to buyers. There will be two new vari-
eties, large card, perhaps third larger
than the present ordinary card, of a COM
plication suggestive of torpid liver, and
another size, just the least bit smaller
than the present card
"These cards." went on Postmaster
General Wanamaker, twill be almost
penny postage. Their size will enable
one to indite quite lengthy epistle on
them, all for one cent" But it is the
pale gray or pearl colored card that will
be the greatest bargain. 1t will not hold
SO much, but it is to be an uncommonly
attractive affair.-Washington Post.

One Way to Court Accidents.

Isaw an odd sight yesterday. A small
row boat was floating down the East
river just below He'll Gate, and in it
was German family, consisting of the
head of the household, his wife, his sis
ter and four children, ranging all the
way from seventeen to six. They all
had on their bathing suits, and were
jumping off the boat and scrambling
back again with the greatest glee. It
was wonder to me that they were not
all drowned, for not one of them could
swim over two hundred yards at most,
and the tide was running fully five miles
an hour, carrying them and the boat
along together, but they sputtered and
splashed around in the water, and seemed
to enjoy it immensely.-New York Star.

THE tax system of the state of Cali
fornia is altogether wrong. 1t proceeds
on the assumption that the man who is
obliged to pay taxes is a public enemy,
whom it is right to persecute to the
point of tyranny. The property owner
who is struggling to pay his taxes is
often the most valuable man in the COM
munity. He is quite frequently pro-
ducer, adding to the wealth of the COM
munity in which he lives. There is no
reason why he should not be protected
and sympathized with if he should hap
pen for the moment to find himself in a
tight place. Instead OF such wise and
conciliatory policy, if he is not ready
with his taxes at certain arbitrary
date. he is pounced upon and made to
pay five per cent. though lie should ly
be day late. 1t he is compelled to al
low his taxes to go delinquent, he is
obliged to pay fifty per cent in order to
redeem them from the conscience
less shark who buys them in.
What is there bespeaking the , most
distant acquaintance with fair play or
justice in system like that? Why should
the state, the county or the city make
themselves parties to such infamous in
justice? At the very worst ten per cent.
is ample for any delay in the payment
of taxes. No state which lays claim to
any element of civilization should coun-
tenance higher rate of penalty than
that for delayed taxes. The state of
California has fixed ten per cent. as the

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Times, in its issue of yesterday, had a
rattling sensation anent the stealing OF
the Edelman indictments. This would
have been first-class SCOOP if there
had really been anything in it, In its
elaborate details respecting theft which
did not take place, our contemporary
exhibited great deal OF ingenuity. IL
is really cruel that its journalistic en-
terprise should be subject to the awful
discount that there was nothing in it.
The Times in this case, as in so many
others. has approved itself to be ver-
liable Mrs. Gummidge. The indictments
were found to be, just where they ough t
to be, in the district attorneys Office.

California will continue to dignity the
walks of private life.
Were it not for the complexion of the
tifty-second congress and the way it up
sets all formerly accepted theories as to
the politics of the several states. one
might reason as tothe effect on the politics
of the house arising from this increase
of membership. The aim was to give
the Democrats reinforcement of only
half dozen, from Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia and New Jersey, while the Re-
publicans would be strengthened by a
quarter OF hundred and more. But
the elections in the west last month
greatly upset their calculations.

highest legal rate of interest as between
man and man. Why should the COM
monwealth itself, in its dealings with
the people, turn itself into sort of
remorseless pawnbroker? 1t is high
time that this most anomalous and ini-
quitous feature OF our tax laws should be
taken up and righted. A Bashi Bazook,
in his dealings with a Greek or Serb,
could not be more merciless than is Cal
ifornia in her relations with the tax
payer. The legislator who shall amend
the injustice will cover himself with
glory

THE chief OF police in his report to the
commissioners of the work of the depart
ment for November, gives census OF
some of the criminal classes in the city.
Amongst these he reports 25 Eaquer-
eaux. He would, of course, not make
this enumeration if it were not known to
the department. 1t is, therefore, in or
der to ask, why these base wretches are
not run in as vagrants? If they cannot
be convicted by the courts, the police
can make Los Angeles too hot to hold
them. All other kinds of criminals are
decency itself compared with the un-
speakably base scoundrels who live on
the wages of the sin of fallen women.
Arrest them and re-arrest them, until
they are compelled to seek pastures new.

Thus far we have had something over
two inches of rain. The last downpour
has been specially acceptable to our
farmers and horticulturists. 1t could not
possibly have come in better season, or
with more exact response to the neces-
stiles of those who deal with the soil.
Large in quantity, it came down SO
gently that every drop of it counted to
the best advantage. Many of our farm
ers have this year taken time by the
forelocS, and dry ploughing and seeding
have been carried on on quite extern
sive scale. These provident people will
reap great benefits from the late liberal
dispensation of the weather-clerk. The
HERALD is inclined to think that this
year we are going to have a
regular old-fashioned season, with
moderate rainfall, but one Just adapted
to the needs of the producers. For the
past three or four years we have had
redundant rainfalls. Last year the
grass and grain were really rotted out.
No season ever opened more auspiciously.
Two weeks after the first heavy rain the
alfilerilla was six to ten inches high.
Two months later the downpour had
been so excessive that even the lush, ,spon-
taneous grasses seemed to go backward.
In fact, they did go backward. The bot
tom lands were drowned out, and it was
impossible to plough or seed. All the
indications this year point to return to
an old cycle OF moderate rains, abundant
crops and general prosperity.

PARTY CONSISTENCY-HoW FAR IT
SHOULD GO.

Some OF the most particular party and
personal friends of John Shirley Ward
refused to vote for him at the late elec-
ton, simply on the ground that his
name had been voted on and that he
had been defeated for the nomination
by the Democratic convention, and had
afterwards accepted the nomination of
the Municipal Reform association. This
nomination was made without solicita-
ton or request on the part Of Mr.. Ward.
These custodians of the ark of Demo
cratic conscience and party etiquette
criticised Mr.. Wards party fealty, on
the ground that our grandfathers
never thought it was just the proper
thing for candidate who has been de-
feated before convention to run as an
independent.
This question of party loyalty has two
sides to It. Let ns examine it. Mr..
Ward has for many years, with tongue
and pen, proven himself fearless and
efficient exponent of Democratic princi-
Piles. These same critics grew eloquent
over his many qualifications, when his
name was before theDemocratic conven-
ton. They acknowledged that the
majority Of this convention represented
the lowest elements of party politics.
Mr.. Ward made no promise to abide
the action of the convention, but would
have stood Loyalty by the nominee, if Ne
had been true exponent of Democracy.
So much for Mr.. Wards inconsistency
Now let us see how much party fealty
and consistency these friends of Mr..
Ward showed, in criticislng his action,
and going so far as to vote for the Re-
publican nominee, in order to defeat
him.
The gentlemen who voted for Mr..
Ward in the Democratic convention not
only represented themselves, but were
supposed to represent their constituents
who sent them there. Every act of a
convention, passed by majority, where
there is no taint of fraud, must necessa-
rily be binding on its members. 1t is
tacitly understood that the minority
must submit to the. majority. If this
was not the universal rule, there would
be no use for convention.
The first act OF some OF these sticklers
for party etiquette was to scratch the
name of Mr.. Ling and Others from the
Democratic ticket. If a delegate to a
convention has the right to scratch one
name from the ticket, then he has the
right to scratch every one.
We are not so bound by the written
or unwritten code OF party ethics
that we must swallow every man
on the ticket regardless of character,
qualifications, or personal fitness. The
scratcher is the purifier Of party politics,
and he who has the moral courage to
scratch unfit names from his ticket
proves himself the evangel of emancipa-
ton from party rule, and one too brave
to be driven into line by the party lash.
Party fealty overreaches itself when it
criticizes the loyalty of true party
man, simply on question of party
usages, and at the same time scratches
the ticket put up by convention Of
which he was part, and even goes so
far as to vote for the nominee of the Re-
publican party.
Those who repudiate the nominees OF
their own party convention certainly
are not very consistent in their criti-
cisms of Mr.. Ward.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-12-05
The Railway Brake Problem,

In the history of railroading most
difficult problem has been that of stop
ping cars quickly when under high
speed. 1t is this problem that now con-
fronts the electric car managers. 1t is
admitted by Electrician Pearson, of the
West End company, that the cars can
not be suddenly stopped by the same
motor that propels them without danger
of serious injury to the driver and the
passengers, to say nothing of the motor
itself.
The same problem for many years baf
fed all inventive genius In steam rail
roading. Finally the invention of the
air brake seems to have solved it, at least
to the extent that a train can be stopped
as rapidly in an emergency as passengers
can safely bear the shock.
In the nature of the case the same
agent and the same machinery which
produce momentum are able to reduce
it with the same facility. The applica-
ton of this fact has proved an approx
mate success on steam railways, but Mr..
Pearson, as reported, practically admits
that it will not always work without
danger in the case of the electric motor,
and that the motor men are enjoined
from applying it, except when, in their
judgment, the emergency is supreme.
But although the cars are now pro-
PEELED electrically and stopped mechani-
cally the problem is bound to yield to
the boundless resources of invention, and
the West End company is pursuing it
tirelessly. The feasibility of vacuum
brake which can utilize the rotary mo-
ton of the car wheels is now a subject
of experiment, and either this or some
other substitute for hand power in stop
ping the cars will yet be made a success.
