The chief occupation of minority in a
legislative body is tearing to pieces the prop
ositions Of the majority. The work of con-
struction devolves upon the latter. The
minority's occupation is by far the easier

the question of admitting Idaho into
the Union less than quorum voted. The
Speaker counted enough of the members
who were present and did not vote to make
a quorum and declared the bill passed. 1t is
said the Democrats propose to carry this
case to the Supreme Court in order to test
the constitutionality of the rule that allows
the Speaker to count members who are pres
ent and do not vote. They have threatened
to do this several times before when oppor-
tunities were presented, but afterwards have
backed out on various pretexts. The chances
are that they will back out now. The fact
is, all the decisions OF the State courts on
questions which involve substantially the
same principle as this one have been against
the Democratic view and in favor
OF the Speakers The Democrats know
this. and they knowthat the chances
Of getting anything different from
the Supreme Court of the United States
are exceedingly few. If the decision is

ROBBED THE BEES.
How a Deputy Recorder Obtained
Some Honey,

A colony of bees some time ago settled
in the boxing of the porch of a residence
in the southern part of the city. The
presence of the buzzing insects caused
the inhabitants of the domicile con-
siderable annoyance, but it was thought
best not to disturb them until they had
accumulated store of honey; so they
were left unmolested until few days
ago, when it became evident the little
honey-gatherers had about filled their
quarters with the sweets of flowers.
But how to get at their nectar store :;
that was the question. There was none
in the household so rash as to assail the
stronghold of so well-armed an enemy.
Finally, Mr.. L. r. Paxton, one Of
County Recorder Francis's able depu-
ties, volunteered to accomplish the rob-
berry for share in the booty. Muffling
up his head and placing wire screen
over his face, and buckskin gauntlets on
his hands, at it he went He thrust
his arm boldly into the hole among the
buzzing, seething mass of bees, and pro-
ceeded to tear out the combs of delicious
honey. But instantly he felt a
shock as If from an cleo
trio battery. A thousand red-hot
needles seemed to penetrate his hand.
The buckskin gauntlets proved to be
not bee-proof. Their poisoned spears
were thrust again and again through the
glove, but fortunately they could not
sting deep into his hand. With nerve
that is begot of determination to win
Mr.. Paxton bore the pain and completed
his task. The honey was secured and
were taken off twenty-three stingers
were removed therefrom. How many
more stings were received is not known
but it was several days before his hand
was reduced to its normal proportions.
This is believed to be the most consecu-
tive case of bee stings without serious
results on record

PACIFIC SHORT LINE.
Active Work Being Done to Bring
About Its Completion.

The Salt Lake Tribune has this to say
about recent developments in the matter
of the Pacific Short line, which is the
latest transcontinental route to get into
Salt Lake City:
President Millard r. Jones and wife
and Vice-President and General Manager
ID. Mackenzie, OF the Pacific Short line,
arrived from the east yesterday and are
at the Walker. Mr.. Jones said to q
Tribune reporter they were here to look
after certain matters connected with the
road, which is progressing satisfactorily
and is i'll better standing now than ever
before. Fifty miles of track have been
laid west from Sioux City, the rails
going down at the rate OF two
and quarter miles day. The
line is graded to O'Neill station,
130 miles westward in Nebraska, and the
work will be pushed right on to compile
tion without any let up. Contracts have
just been let to Scullen & Stacey, of St.
Louis, to build the 800 miles from
O'Neill to Ogden for $1S,000,000 in
round numbers. The rolling stock has
all been ordered, and some of it deliv-
cred. A great feature of the road will
be the magnificent iron bridge across
the Missouri from Sioux City, to cost
81 100000. 1t will have two draws, one
near either shore, as required by the
United States government, as the chan
mel shifts occasionally from one side to
the other. But the draws will rarely be
used; navigation on that part of the
stream is not at all pressing. The bridge
will have in addition to the railway a
roadway on either side for vehicles and
electric cars, while between the two
roadways and the railway are passages
for pedestrians. At present trestle is
being used, but the iron structure goes
up at an early day. The route west of
the Wyoming line will be selected be-
! fore long.

shall be much disappointed if it is not.
The present legislature was elected in
1883 when the democrats had all the
federal patronage. Now, we have it..
At that time, too, everything was sacri-
flced by the republicans to carry the
state for General Harrison. Now. we
shall bend all our energies to carry the
legislature. There is no governor to be
chosen. Governor Hovey's term does
not expire until 1890. The democrats
are divided between Ex-Governor Gray
and Senator Voorhees,. On the other
hand, whatever reports you may have
heard to the contrary, the republicans
are united and aggressive. They are
proud of President Harrisons admins
tration, and they will show by their
votes that they are bound to sustain it.

THE BUGS ARE GOING.
Parasites Predatory on the Scales of
all Sorts,

Oil OOl 10.
Some days ago a HERALD reporter met
Colonel J. r. Dobbins, of San Gabriel,
on the street, and few moments later
he met Mr.. J. f. Fulvey, manager for
on scales, white, red and black, and the
the causes for their rapid decrease in
the orchards. The testimony of both
gentlemen was to the effect that the
white scale was almost extinct in all
parts of the San Gabriel valley,
decreased in number, and that
the black variety was much less
numerous than heretofore. Ali over the
than they have appeared for several
looking remarkably we'll. Mr.. Bald
scale pests. Mr. Dobbins hardly ever
discovers a white scale on his trees,
there are but comparatively few of the
red scales left and there is a notable
thinning out of the black fellows In
all the orchards the Australian lady
bug, or yedOlio cardinals, is Matching out
in large numbers, and is to be found in
all stages of development. In few
weeks it is expected that white scale
bug will be beyond discovery in
the country. The Sierra Madre orchard
is entirely free from the red scale, or so
nearly free that no more attention is
paid to this pest, the owners being sure
it will disappear to the last specimen in
a few more months.
Colonel Dobbins thinks the chalcid fly
is the cause of the disappearance of the
red scale. This is the fly that bores q
hole in the scale-bug.
Mr.. Dobbins has two colonies of new
lady-bugs on his place. These came from
Washington, where B. M. Lelong dis
covered them devouring the aphis and
scale-bugs on the trees of that city. One
of these is very much like the vedolia in
size and color, excepting that the bug has
two spots on his back like the twice
stabbed lady-bug of this section. The
other is giant among lady-bugs, big
fat fellow that looks as if he had an APP
petite OF prodigious proportions. If he
once took it into his head to make scale
bugs matter OF daily diet, he might
soon clear out all in the section.
Mr.. Lelong, like the efficient and
sensible fellow that he is, procured a
colony of each variety and sent them on
to Colonel Dobbins, who has them con-
fined on two of his best trees to multiply
if they will, and to prey ON the scales il
they like.

Indiana Harmony.

Attorney General Michener, the
"slickest politician in Indiana" as he is
called, is in town. He and Bruce Carr,
the state auditor, are negotiating about
some of the Indiana bonds. Mr.. Mich
ener is a Short: stout, black-bearded
bright-eyed man of 40, and he is an
aspirant for the United States senator
ship which Mr. Voorhees, viii vacate on
the 4th of next March. He believes he
will succeed. Since Colonel John G.
New went to London as consul-general
Mr.. Michener has been President Har-
rison's lieutenant in Indiana, and has
more to say about the distribution of
patronage than any other person.
In talking about the situation in In
diana yesterday, Mr.. Michener said :
The democrats in the present legisla-
ture have eighteen majority on a joint
Los Angeles herald., 1890-05-19

of questions about the present condition
of business in Los Angeles, and the
prospects of agricultural development in
the surrounding country. He said that
he had not seen Los Angeles for two
years, and expected to find great
changes. Many of his questions were
answered by G. f. Smurr, whose resi-
dence in this city while serving in the
capacity of assistant traffic manager
gave him familiarity with the subject,
and whose admiration for the section
made him an enthusiastic exponent of
its progress.
Mr.. Stubbs, when asked about the
prospect of further rate changes, said
that the war from Kansas City to Chi
cago seemed likely to come to an end
very shortly, if recent advices from
the seat of hostilities were to
be credited, and that in a
short time the roads would probably
come back towards the original schedule
of rates.
AS the party neared the city Colonel
Crocker stood out on the platform of the
car in order that he might get better
view of the San Fernando-street yard,
and also to take look at the viaduct.
He was anxious also to see the proposed
site of the union depot.
Today the party will return to the city
from Santa Monica as early as possible
and run down to San Pedro. They ex-
pect to return from the latter place
about II O'Clock and reception
and drive about the city has
been arranged by the chamber of COM
merce. The party expects to leave for
the east tonight Most of its members
will go only as far as Ell Paso, but Presi-
dent Huntington will go on to New
York.

A DOCTORS REBUKE.
Immensely More Mischief than is Gen
orally Suspected.

DR.. King, the eminent medical writer, in a
learned disqusition on our national COM
plant, constipation, says
The great quantity of cathartic pills, ETC.,
which are annually swallowed by the people OF
this country has been productive of immensely
more mischief than is generally suspected.
True the physic unloads the bowels, but in so
doing its action tends to diminish the tone OF
the intestines; so that, instead of removing the
costiveness, it aggravates it, leaving the bowels
in more torpid condition.
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla was designed to
fill just such contingency as the doctors ar
raignment anticipates, viz: instead of being q
powerful mineral purgative, it is a mild vege-
table laxative, that, owing to its solvent and
gentle stimulating properties, is so certain re-
lief in constipation that it has been given away
to hundreds, not to be paid for unless it was OF
positive benefit. 1t Itreplaces constipation almost
Immediately with natural easy habit, and is
so mild that, unlike drastic purgatives, it can
be taken indefinitely with perfect freedom and
safety

A ROPE.
1t Frightened Man Away From In
glewood

Yesterday afternoon a man who
claimed to have been the proprietor of a
hotel at Inglewood, told private. de-
tective rather sensational story, which
could not be corroborated last night,
owing to the fact that both telephone
and telegraph communication with that
place had been cut off. He first went to
the district attorneys Office in the Ian
franco block to obtain complaint, but
finding it closed went to the detective
and stated that earlier in the day party
of masked men had called upon him at
his home at Inglewood. One of the men
carried long rope, with loop on the
end of it, which they informed him they
intended to lynch him with for using
his tongue too freely. After desperate
struggle with two of their number he
managed to make his escape, and with
all haste he struck out for this city. He
refused to give his name to the detective,
stating that he intended to remain in
town and call upon the district attorney
the first thing in the morning, and see
that the would-be lynchers were brought
to justice. Very little credit is placed
in the mans story as he was in an over
excited condition at the time of his
meeting with the detective.

What is the Outlook!

Well, at present the outlook is
good-fair for very large vote. OF
course, after casting out the radical
men, the real workers, and demoral-
izing the treasury, we could not
count on an election of Mr.. Owens.
But we may easily roll up a vote OF
$4,000. This will give us a tremend-
Gus power in 1892. A vote of 4O.-
600 will secure the party solid or
ganization. Let us work with a will
IA profound desire to stand by the
right. All talk of standing by the
old parties is politically wrong.
"Policy'' will poison the noblest pur-
poses. Right is what counts for hu-
manity. Better hundred years to
wait for right than win today on a
basis of wrong. To win with wrong
is to win nothing-for wrong con
tinues. So plunge into this canvas,
friends-and work earnestly and
faithfully. Raise money and put it
into the local field. You do not need
to support this ring at St. Paul un.
less you wish! Be firm, resolute
cautious, hopeful.
