1t will be seen that even in 1882 the

Hostile Neighbors in Africa Who Have
Established a No Mans Land.
A little British expedition recently
steamed far up the Benue branch of the
Niger river in small steam launch, and
finally entered tributary of the Benue
and explored a region which no white
man has ever visited before. The most
interesting thing about their journey
was the curious experience they had
with the natives.
They had been passing for a good
while through region that was inhab-
tied by Moslem blacks, fruits of the
rather severe methods of conversion
employed blythe Arab invaders of the
Soudan. The country was very fertile,
and the people were numerous; but
all of sudden, though the country still
wore its usual aspect, and the soil was
apparently rich, population entirely
ceased. For stretch of over twenty
miles not a hut was to be seen, nor was
a single sign of human life anywhere OBJ
served. The expedition wondered at
this remarkable state of affairs, for the
country was certainly inviting, and they
could not imagine why it had no inhab-
itants.
All at once, however, as they rounded

been amongst US for many years. He
was beloved by all who knew him, for
his manly qualities. None enjoyed the
confidence and esteem of the commu-
nifty in higher degree, and this appre-
citation has been attested by his eleva-
tion to some of the most responsible po-
sitions in the county. His integrity was
OF the truest stamp. His friendship was
OF the kind that is equal to the greatest
sacrifices. His character was of that no.
bility that it went hand in hand with
every honorable instinct and every high
purpose. None could more truly carry
on his escutcheon the motto "sans peur
ct sans reproche;" and none could
more touchingly illustrate the poets

Removing Notes from the Eye.

The following is simple and expedi-
Ious way of removing specks from the
BYE. The only instrument needed is q
wooden toothpick or match, made sharp
at the point. Hard wood, however, is
preferable. The sufferer stands in good
light and rests his body and head against
door, post or some fixed object. With
the thumb and finger the operator
holds the eyelids sufficiently apart to see
plainly the front of the eye and also to
prevent winking. If the speck be on the
cornea it may be difficult to see it, and
it can then only be found by changing
the direction of sight until a favorable
position is secured.
The most difficult part of the business
is to have the inexperienced person fix
the sight on some object and hold the
eye perfectly quiet. If this can be done
only for few seconds the operator ap-
proaches the mote with the point of the
stick, still holding the eyelid, and with
gentle passes and gradual advances soon
touches the speck and brings it away.
The transparency of the eye makes it
necessary to approach the surface with
care, or it will be reached before it is ex-
pected. If the mote be hidden under
meath the upper eyelid the eyelash should
be gently raised, while the upper part of
the lid is held downward with the stick.
When turned the stick is withdrawn and
the lid is held in this position by the eye
lash.
Where iron is worked particles of met
al are sometimes allowed to remain in
the eye for several hours, when they
seem to rust fast and cannot be removed
by stick. In such cases the point of a
penknife blade, made quite sharp, is
used, and if it is magnetized SO much
the better.-New York Commercial Ad-

THERE is no such thing as winter
of discomfort in California. These De-
cember days are glorious enough. The
rain has started the grass ON every plain
and hillside. The whole country will
be sea of emerald hue in a few more
days. The hills were covered yesterday
with people, enjoying the warm at
mosphere, clear as crystal, after the
rain, and contemplating the tender shoots
of the grass bursting out of the ground.
The flowers will be in bloom in a few
weeks, and California in January will
look like an eastern landscape in the

SO conspicuous a figure, Parnells course
would have done it. But his reckless
ness has been met with irmness and good
sense by his colleagues, and the able
men at the head Of the English Liberal
party have shown in this wretched crisis
a calm self-containment and concilia-
tory dignity that will do much to tide
over the difficulty and place the cause of
home rule on as firm and hopeful foot
ing as it held before Parnell's unfortu-
nate break. The persistence which he
has shown to hold fast to the leadership
in defiance OF public opinion and OF the
opposition of the largest and best ele-
ment in his party, and his ferocious
attitude towards all who declared against
him, would seem to indicate
that his late personal troubles have un-
hinged his reason and rendered him
desperate. Certainly no man occupying
his high position could argue himself in
to the belief that he could OUTAGE the
verdict OF the world upon the moral as
pect of the O'Shea divorce suit, and con-
tinue to lead great national cause
which depends upon public opinion to

MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1890.
THE COUNTY DIVISION MANIA.

1t is no new thing, on the eve of ses-
sion of the legislature, to find PROPOSE
tions for the creation of new counties
springing up in every direction. A
movement is on foot in San Diego to
carve two new counties out of the terri
tory of that county-one with the seat
at Escondido, and the other at San ia
cinto. How much strength stands be-
hind the proposition is not just now APP
parent. For quite score of years the
division of Los Angeles county was a
burning question with the people south
of Anaheim, until at last the present
county of Orange was created. Now the
eastern portion of the county, with Po-
mona as the central point, is desirous
OF cutting loose. A strong effort was
made in the last legislature to accom-
plish this purpose; but carving two new
counties at one time out of Los Angeles
was found to be greater job than the
legislature would stand.
The diyisionists are again getting
ready to carry their point, and it is
probable that Senator McComas, with
his coadjutor in the lower house, will
exert all their influence to pass a bill
creating the county of Pomona.
The HERALD is not disposed to make
a serious fight against the proposition.
When the Orange county bill was before
the legislature many of our leading and
most substantial people not only did
not oppose the measure, but actually
signed a petition recommending its
passage. These gentlemen doubtless
entertain the same views on the subject
of creating the new county of Pomona.
Whilst the HERALD does not object to
this new partition, it believes that the
boundaries of the new county should be
so adjusted that the territory left to Los
Angeles would be in so compact and
contiguous a shape that with the
Pomona measure bill could be passed
erecting the remaining territory into the
city and county of Los Angeles, with
one government instead of two. Let
Pomona run her lines so as to leave Los
Angeles in position that she could dis
pense with double set of officials and
take her stand alongside of San Francis
co as city and county under one gov
ernment. This would be measure of
economy to the people as we'll as one Of
facility in the political conduct of our
public affairs.
There is no reason why, if there is
going to be another dismemberment,
Los Angeles should not insist upon max
ing it conform to her interests. What
ever lines of division may be made in
the carving of new counties out of her
territory, she will always remain the
focal business, commercial and financial
center of all the other counties. That
being the case, she is not ambitious of
territorial .affluence. Her interest
rather lies in the line of territorial con-
traction, so that she can, with the terri
tory left her, conveniently carry on the
business of municipal government with
a single set of officers. With this object
kept in view, we doubt whether the peo-
pie of Los Angeles will be found to be
adverse to the new proposition for
county division.

gress, tampering with the action of state
legislatures, buying votes by wholesale,
are among the fruits of this party's pos
session of power, and are all among the
outlined policy of the party today, and
the principal component parts of its
plans for the future. The Lodge force
bill is to be passed if possible. A SEN
ator's seat is to be stolen for Bill Chand-
Ter of New Hampshire. Silver is
is to be kept as it is, subordinate
to gold. The Mckinley bill to be pre-
served in it's bad integrity vi ct armis.
The people may speak as they have in
tones of thunder. The ofice-holders
care only to continue to be office-hold-
ers. They think the money power of
the country, eked out by chicanery and
fraud, which have stood them in such
excellent stead in the past, will not fail
them in the future. Talk of Bour-
bons never learning or forgetting.
The worst that ever lived were apt pu-
pills compared to those who now control
the Republican party. That party is
running amuck at this moment, and
will run to its final destruction. The
leaders will not alter their course, and
the people will not follow them. That
course has led the party to the loss of
its power in the house. 1t will lead to
the loss OF power in all departments of
the government. The party has full
filled its mission, has done it's work
in the world, and is fit now only for sep
ulture at the hands of its own people.
