District Nomin a tions.
A GREAT RAILWAY ACHIEVEMENT.

No Angeleilo can fail to be delighted
by the splendid progress which has been
made by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway since its organization. One
year ago the prospects of that road ap-
peared to be absolutely hopeless. Its
stock holders and bond-holders appeared
to be in about an equally hopeless con-
dition. The true solution OF the
financial condition of the company
is that everything had been sac
rifced to the profits of construc-
tion. Only the desire to utilize instant
available profits could have explained
the building of the Guaymas branch Of
the Santa Fe, for instance. That was a
line which could scarcely hope to pay
axle-grease in twenty years, and yet it
was built, and doubtless certain profits
of construction were duly appropriated.
We only instance this as specimen
brick. The old, wasteful methods
were discarded under President Marvel ;
and, presto, we are told that the re-or-
ganized company has increased its net
profits nearly two millions of dollars
within year, and that the road is now
prepared to pay and has declared half
yearly dividend of two and three quar-
ters per cent. One of the pleasantest fea-
lures OF this splendid development is the
really capable hand taken in it by the
present controllers OF the California
Southern railway officials. Mr.. K. H.
Wade, the head of this branch of the
Santa Fe system, has approved himself
to be a model administrator. He has
developed positive genius for making
his company prosperous and the people
contented, and it is a question as to
whether his courtesy or efficiency are
the greatest. In fact, all the heads
of departments of the California
Southern are winning golden opinions on
this coast, and piling up revenues for the
company, from Mr.. Wade and Mr.. Will
hanson Dunn down to the worka-dav
conductor. The Atchison, Topeka q
Santa Fe and California Southern have
been so highly and benefcently instru-
mental in the growth of this section that
the HERALD cannot forebear felicitating
''all the world and the rest of mankind"
on the great change for the better that
has taken place in the affairs of these
corporations. Mr.. Marvel, whose gen.
ius has envolved order and profit out of
financial and administrative chaos, has
great reason to be proud OF his achieve
ment.

A GALLANT CONTESTANT.

The Hon. w. j. Curtis. who was
nominated at the Hotel Coronado day
before yesterday for Congressman for
the Sixth District by the Democratic
District Convention, is man OF far
more than ordinary ability and worth.
He has about every strong point can
didate could have. A lawyer of marked
distinction, he is unusually popular in
his own county, and has been advanced
to positions of trust the duties of which
he has discharged with signal ability
and integrity. As District Attorney OF
San Bernardino county he has made a
brilliant record. He belongs to a
splendid old Democratic stock, and is a
near connection of the Hon. W. S. Hol-
man, the gentleman whose devotion to
the public interests has earned him the
title of the watchdog OF the national
treasury. In ordinary years the Sixth
Congressional District would not be
specially inviting region for
Democratic contestant, but this
is not an ordinary year. On
the contrary, it is year OF
great possibilities in many lines OF
politics. The majority of 6030 which
Gen. Vandever obtained over Hon.
Reel B. Terry was by no means fair
criterion of the strength of the two great
national parties even then. Since the
year in which it was piled up, 1888,
many changes have taken place in the
political complexion of the counties COM
posing the district. In Los Angeles
county these changes have been specially
pronounced, and they arise partly from
great loss OF Republican voters and
the conversion of Republicans on large
scale into Democratic voters, through
the unprecedented career OF ~malversa-
ton, peculation and other crimes OF
local Republican officials. We note
that the Fresno Budget, Republican
paper, says that the practice adopted by
the Republican party for years past OF
nominating all its candidates from
south of the Tehachepi mountains will
lose the party thousand votes in that
county alone. Mr.. Curtis enters the
contest with fair fighting chance, and
his fine character, good abilities and
quite decided talents as a stump speaker
will increase them and will probably
enable him to snatch victory where an
ordinary man would encounter defeat.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-09-17

Decrease
In the above tables ten counties show
falling off in population of 1S,46S.
These are Amador, with a loss of S96 ;
Calaveras, 234; Ell Dorado, 1907; Mari
posa, $40 Mono, 5,4S3 Nevada, $500 !;
Plumas, 1924; Sierra, 1,761; Trinity,
1,066; and Tuolumne, 1,775. These are
all mountain towns, and their loss of
population marks decadence in min
ing. In 1880 Mono had very large
number of people engaged in this in
dustry, which has fallen away nearly rs
per cent.
If the net loss of these ten counties is
added to the net gain of the state it in
dicates that the other fortv-three coun-
ties increased in the sum Ct 1868 ,465.
If San Francisco's gain of $4,000 is
taken from the net gain of the state it
will appear that the other counties made
a gain of 27S,997. OF this, the Sixth
congressional district, or the lower half
of the state from Monterey and San Be-
nito south, gained 200, ,000 leaving an in
crease of less than sc, 900 to the rest of
the state outside of San Fran
cisco. If Southern California
distinctively is taken it will
appear that 1861 500 of the increase in
pOpulallOn is crowded INTO tne SIX SOUTH
ern counties, as follows: Los Angeles in
creased $4,000, Orange 13,60O, San Ber-
nardino 1900, San Diego 25,S00, Ven
tura 5000 and Santa Barbara 6,400.
That is one-half of the total increase of
the state, outside of San Francisco. Los
Angeles tops the list with an increase
of 68, 900 in her present boundaries, plus
13,600 in Orange county, which was part
OF her imperial domain in 1880, the pop
ulation of the entire territory then be-
ing only $3.50 souls, as against
115,0oO in 1890. The net gain
then in the old county and her
daughter was 81 ,621. The ratio of in
crease is 245 per cent. The ratio for
the whole state is only little over 40
per cent, or less than one-sixth OF that
in the old territory of our county. San
Diego countys rate OF increase is nearly
300 per cent, and that is the largest
ratio in the state, our old county
coming next.
This is good showing for the state,
most excellent one for the lower third
of it, and an unparalleled growth for
the six counties of the semi-tropics, our
own valley and city getting the biggest
| prizes in the drawing,

THE NUDE IN ART.

The state fair this year is far below
the ordinary in interest and III merit.
This is what we learn by private cores
pondence. The stock display at Agri-
cultural Park lacks the fine exhibits OF
several very important stockmen, who
have refused to show their splendid
herds this year, and the display at the
Pavilion falls far below the usual mark.
In compensation, however, for this fall
ing off, the visitors have been en-
tertained by most exciting debate on
the subject of art. Norton Bush,
who has charge OF the gallery
in the Pavilion, refused to hang
picture painted by Miss Annie
Ballou, OF San Francisco, on the ground
of it's nudity. The picture is entitled
Morning." and represents a female in
rather undress uniform making break
for the skies. Some say it is over
decolletee, others that it is enough
within the rule OF the proprieties
for modern ballroom. Bush
is an artist himself and among
his works is an Andromeda so
bereft of covering that she would be
liable to shiver in the most torrid atmos-
phere. Yet he hangs that. OF course,
when twitted with his inconsist-
ency in this respect, he justities his
pictures nudity on the ground that it is
classic having prescriptive rights to 60
naked; but the Ballou picture is a
modern-a sort of arvenudity-which
has no right to doff it's garments or to
expose it's form divine. Chris. Green,
the President OF the State Fair,
agrees with Bush, and Morning
has been locked up in room dark
as Night. Green's artistic acumen is
beyond question. He made his fortune
in the butchering business, and knows
what kind of cattle ought to be hung up.
Meantime Sacramento and her visitors
have divided on the question. Hall OF
them don't want the picture hung up
the other half want both the picture and
the managers of the Fair hung up. The
dissension has happily become so alb
sorbing and acute, that the hulla-BallOu
has served the timely turn of diverting
attention from the superlative demerit
and positive unattractiveness OF the en-
tire exhibition, and centering it on the
nude in art.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-09-17

THAT good and substantial work will
be done for Southern California in the
East this Fall and Winter cannot be
doubted. The presence of Major Ben G..
Truman at Chicago, in charge of our
permanent exhibit, will of itself work
wonders. No denizen of Southern Cali
fornia could more efficiently than he
present the strong points of this section.
He has already set to work. and, like
the experienced newspaper man he is,
he has presented his views in the col
umns of the Chicago Tribune. 1t is
largely owing to the ceaseless efforts Of
Mr.. d. Freeman that this permanent
exposition in the Rialto building was
made possible. That gentleman saw
the incommensurable good that would
flow to Southern California from our
availing ourselves of the generous offer
of President Marvel, of the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe Railway. Through the sa-
gacious liberality OF this official all the
southern counties have to do to-day is to
provide the agent-most acceptably filled
in the case of Major Truman-and the ex-
hibits, and all the rest was plain sailing.
The grand Columbian celebration at
Chicago will be followed by the biggest
