New Steamers.

The Canadian Pacific Railroad Co.
is having three new steamers built
in Scotland for the Pacific line, be-
tween Japan and China. They will
each be of 800 tons gross register,
and 10000 horsepower, with steel
hulls, twin screws, double bottoms,
compartments, and all the latest i'm
provements. 1t is thought they will
be good for eighteen knots an hour
on their trial trips. The first one
viii be launched in August, and will
probably go on the station early next
year. At the speed above mentioned
these vessels could make the trip
from Vancouver to Yokohama in ten
days, and to HongkoDg in fourteen
days. as against the record of twenty
one days to the latter place made by
the steamer China of the Pacific Mail
Company.

themselves. With the tight little, right
little isle this is an old story. There
has been no time since Strongbow
landed in Ireland when Britannia was
not ready and willing to loot the world.
This tendency took sensational shape
hundred years or more ago, when Lord
Give and Warren Hastings showed how
the ryots of India as well as the princes
OF that country could be made to yield
pretty penny to England at any and
every sacrifice of the principles of hui
manity and international law. Mean
while, the United States looks on
serenely, with scarcely a half dozen
men-of-war; and our people, with less
than third of the national debt of Eng
land, allow their coasts to remain de-
fenceless. All the great, resounding
and hypocritical pleas for human rights
and a noble public morality emanate
from Exeter hall, in London, while all,
or nearly all, the downright assaults on
both proceed from Downing street, in
the same city.

place. Mr.. Fry has built one of the
prettiest houses in that region, and is
surrounding it with very pretty grounds.
He has set the rest of his land to or
chard, which is doing well. He has one
OF the cosiest and most attractive homes
near Los Angeles.
And now to resume the Journey
From DR.. Keller's place the road carries
one direct to Prospect park, which lies
between the Los Angeles and Pacific
railway and the great Sunset boulevard,
which stretches all along this foot
hill country from Los Feliz to the sea- 1t
will be all built some day, and will then
be fifteen or more miles of the finest
driveway on this continent. A station
OF the railway above named is here.
Judge w. NJ. Taggart has most charm
ing place at Prospect Park. His house
is built in the best style of country resi-
dences. The judge was in the yard en-
joylng the cool breeze of the afternoon
and seeing his flowers grow. Prospect
Park ls pretty place, with fine
country surrounding it. 1t has num-
ber OF pretty residences besides that of
Judge Taggart. w. f. Edwards's and
John E. Barber's are among them.
The above are only few of the
places visited by the reporter, and
only few of the attractions and advan-
tages of these foothills are touched upon
here, for the reason that last Thursdays
readers of the HERALD were treated to a
very complete treatment of the subject.
1t is furthermore the intention of the
HERALD to refer again to the same in
teresting topic at near day. As space
is always more than usually valuable on
Sunday morning, this will have to suf-
fee for this time.

IT LOOKS as if the current census
would only give Los Angeles city $4,000
population. This is quite ten thousand
short OF the true figures. But, even as it
stands, it is nearly five hundred per
cent. increase on the population reported
by the census of 1880. An increase of
such magnitude on population rising
10000 is one of the rarities of our ma
tional enumeration. 1t approximates
dangerously to any figure ever hereto
fore recorded in the United States. OF
course, as the figures rise to the tens Of
thousands, ratios decrease correspond
ingly. We should scarcely be justified
in looking for more than 100000 by the
census of 1900, although this is a region
in which the unexpected is nearly GER
tain to happen.

The lottery men CT Louisiana, in their
efforts to secure the passage of meas
ure through the legislature renewing
their franchise, are under the suspicion
no doubt well founded-of spending
vast sums in bribing over members to
the support of the measure. st. Amaut,
one of the members, has been directly
charged with yielding his support for a
bribe. In connection with this mani
fest attempt to buy legislature, two
awful incidents occurred. A member
named Roder who had opposed the
scheme, suddenly changed his mind,
and telling friend that he was going to
vote for the measure he fell to the floor
overcome with a stroke of paralysis,
Cole, another sudden convert, had a
similar visitation, and was carried from
the chamber in an insensible condition.
Some have looked upon these extra
ordinary happenings as a miraculous
interposition to prevent the passage OF
the bill over the governors veto, for the
lotteryites were just short two votes to
do SO when the bill came up for action.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-06-29

THE opinions of an accomplished
fnancier are always worthy of the
study of the observant. During his late
visit to Los Angeles Mr.. Coils P. Hunt
ington, who has never been known to
write for magazines and newspapers, de-
livered himself OF some views that are
at least deserving of attention. As a
financier, Mr.. Huntington can Justly
claim to stand in the front rank. We do
not know how much money he brought
with him to California, but we do'know
that when he transferred his residence
from this coast to New York City he
carried with him to his new home mil
lions not few, which he is since sup
posed to have developed into colossal
fortune of some sixty or seventy mil
lions of dollars. While the exact amount
of his wealth is not determined, this
railway magnate can draw his check for
quite goodly amount, as the Prince
Won Hatzfeldt can bear witness. There
fore, when Mr.. Huntington says that
every nine years in the history of the
United States there is period of three
years during which discerning people
make all their money, he is to be lis
tened to with great respect. During
the remaining six years Mr..
Huntington says that prudent pee
pie occupy themselves with loading
up with cheap property and securities,
to be let loose when the magical three
years shall have arrived. There is some
thing rather unique about this financial
philosophy. Doubtless Mr.. Huntington
has all the ear-marks which enables him
to recognize these different eras. If he
would kindly consent to let the public
into his secret they would be greatly
obliged, and doubtless some of them
would profit by the information. 1t is
not everyone, however, who is in con-
dition to do this loading up. In the
very heyday of the favored three years
he may have been employed in loading
himself up with property at the top
notch, which he afterwards, much to
his disgruntlement, is obliged to drop in
the dead waist and middle of the
wretched six years of small figures.
This is the difference betwixt tweedle
dunn and tweedledee-between Mr..
Coils P. Huntington and those who are
neither SO wise nor wealthy as he. Or,
in other words, the failure to hit these
periods rightly is another exemplifica-
ton of Hamlet's mournful threnody
concerning the stricken deer.

HANGED HIMSELF,
Hans Lassen Unable to Work Becomes
DeSpondent

Despondent.
Hans Lassen, a Danish laborer of this
city, committed suicide yesterday after
noon in fit of dependency. Lassen
has been in the city about six months,
and during that time he has lived by
himself in shanty he owned near First
and Vignes streets. He has been sick
and unable to work for little over
month past, and the inaction and bodily
weakness proved on his mind very
much. On Friday evening he went over
to the residence of Charles Miller, 739
Turner street, and complained of feeling
very lonely and miserable, and asked
Miller for permission to sleep with him,
declaring that he would rather sleep
there on the floor than to return to the
loneliness of his own shanty. Miller
accorded him permission to sleep in an
adjoining shed, which Lassen CRATE
fully accepted. Nothing further was
heard from him until morning,
when Miller found his lodger lying out
doors near the water faucet, where he
had dragged himself to procure drink,
but had been too weak to turn the fau-
Get. Miller gave him a drink, assisted
him to his bunk, brought him something
to eat and then went off to work.
At O'Clock yesterday afternoon Mil
Ter returned to find Lassen hanging from
the low rafters OF the shanty. The
rafters were only trife over six feet
from the floor, and with his body partly
supported on his toes Lassen had hung
there and slowly strangled to death. The
body was in horrible condition, the
face being fearfully distorted and per-
fectly black. The police were notified
at once and the body removed to the
morgue. At the coroner's inquest last
night the only additional witness exam
ined was Edward Brown, who testified
that he had known Lassen sinceshis ar
rival in town in December last, and that
he was native of Denmark, about 40
years old. and that he had no relatives
in California. The jury brought in a
verdict that Hans Lassen had come to
his death by hanging himself with in
tent to commit suicide

IT DOUBTLESS would not in the least
discompose the people of this country if
they could lay the fattering JUNCTION to
their souls that, besides buster and Jim
Blaine's jingoism, they had a good and
serviceable fleet in the immediate
neighborhood OF Behring'S sea and at the
entrance to the principal harbors of the
United States. They would then feel
that the nag Holdfast was at hand and
that all the fortunes of great country

SUNDAY, JUNE 80, 1890.
DEMOCRATS would cheerfully sacrifi

DEMOCRATS would cheerfully sacrifice
the political benefits which will accrue
to them if the Republicans shall fail to
pass satisfactory silver bill to the good
results that would flow to the country
from such measure. President Harri-
son is largely responsible for the equiv
ocal status of the silver legislation just
now, and what he has failed to do in the
way of discouragement the gold-bug
lobby in the house of representatives
has accomplished.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-06-29

We have received copy OF the great
speech delivered in the senate of the
United States, on May 18th and 18th, on
the free coinage of silver, by Hon. John
P. Jones, of Nevada. 1t is great effort,
and fully sustains the deserved reputa-
ton of that gentleman as a luminous
publicist and statesman. Mr.. Jones
made his first conspicuous entry on
public life when he was elected to the
United States senate from the battle
born state in 1872. Two years later he
made speech on specie resumption in
the senate which fairly electrified the
country. AS the head of the senate
committee, Mr.. Jones made report on
the demonstration of silver in 1878
which will forever remain a monument
of fair and luminous argument; and
which exposed, as with the clearness of
a calcium light, the Republican con-
spiracy which converted silver from a
money ON par with gold into mere
commodity. When it comes to men
like Jones the people of the United
States surrender politics for the nonce |;
and, irrespective of party, they accord
to them the cordial recognition which
craftsmanship and patriotism always
e nlure.
