NJ. de Candolie, a French investigator,
has come to the conclusion from his re-
searches that women have a larger proper
ton of brown eyes than nen. He also
finds that where both parents have eyes of
like color the chances are Lightweight 70

at the age Of ten when the color Of the

color. When the parents have ewes Of dit

1t seems that the muddle over the Ne
braska governorship is again to occupy
the attention of the public. When the
majority of the Nebraska supreme court
rendered the decision ousting Governor
Boyd and seating Governor Thayer, it
also decided that Thayer was entitled to
hold the office for the full term to which
Boyd had been elected. But there are
numerous legal lights in that state who
do not agree with the supreme court,
and among these is the chairman of the
Republican state committee. 1t is now
proposed to have the different political
parties issue a call for the election of a
governor in November, and in case this
programme is carried out there will be a
lively time in that state.

The present trip of Chauncy Depew' S
to Europe has in it some semblance of
the prophet Jonah's attempt to run away
from the mission to Ninevah when be
had been commanded by Jehovah to go
there. Vox populi, vox del. The people
of New York, that is the Republican por-
ton of them which constitutes a major
ity, desire that Mr.. Depew shall be their
candidate for governor, but like the
prophet-whether from the same cause
or not-does not wish to accept the re-
sponsible trust, and takes shipping to a
foreign country to evade it. II is sin
cerely hoped that his experience will be
no worse, whatever the outcome, than
that that befell the one to whom his is
herein likened.

The correspondents are now telling a
sad story on the young German war lord.
They say that on his visit to Russia he
took command of brigade in sham
battle, and that before he could put his
school tactics in operation the wild and
woody Muscovites, who fight much like
"shoopkeepers masquerading as SOL
diers," had him surrounded and captur-
ed, and had adjourned to a banquet of
cold tallow and hot whiskey. Admirers
of his lordship's genus for the military
hint broadly that he purposely planned
for just the thing that occurred and just
as it took place; that it was not only a
diplomatic stroke to do SO, but that by it
he could disarm them in causing them
to place low estimate upon his abilities
as commander and consequently neg
lect their defensive preparations in case
of conflict.

ABOUT SALARIES,

We quite agree with the st. JOSEPH
Gazette in the observation that sit seem:
a reflection on the general character Of
| business men, as cOmpensations 60 today
that any one man can be worth $50, O0(
or even S25, 900 a year 10 an insurance
company as president, or that his son-in.
law can be worth $25, 900 or even S12, 500
as vice-president. But whether this be
possible or not, it is very certain that
most of the officials drawing these huge
salaries, with numberlesS bonuses and
perquisities piled on in addition, are not
worth SO much to their companies by a
wide difference; and if such saleries pro-
duce no better effects than have, as a
rule, appeared. the sooner that they are
cut down to a more reasonable basis the
better for the interests of policy holders,
it would SEEM"
The foregoing statement applies with
equal force to the railroads and other
corporations. In fact, as to rail-
road management the point applies with
peculiar force. Under the present system
of combining the different systems of
roads into associations and their business
affairs controlled as they are by boards
and commissioners, there is no need of
any high priced officials. The theory upon
which the big salary idea was
based, was that it was necessary
in order to secure competent men.
men of first class talent and ability, and
as long as the management of the roadre-
manned exclusively in the. hands of its own
officers it was not without some force.
1t is different now under the new order,
and corps of practical men to manage
the mechanical operation of the road is
all that is really required, and the high
priced presidents and vice presidents and
other supernumeraries simply afford an
excuse for maintaining rates of charges
for service to the public that otherwise
could be lowered, to the benefit of the
public and without detriment to the in
terests Of the owners of the roads. And
herein lies the one of the chief causes of
complaint, that obtain almost univer-
sally, against the railroads of the country.

The Sacramento Record-Union and
our esteemed contemporary, the
Times, instead of being moved to
sympathy by the slaughter of work
men at Fourmies, appear to think
that the American militia do
not shoot often enough or quick
enough. Most Americans will think
that this is a rather commendable trait
of our citizen soldiers. What humanity
is shown by them, however, is more
than compensated for by the brutal
ity of the Pinkerton detectives.
These hired assassins are creating
high state of indignation through
out the country. 1t is to the
everlasting honor OF the militia that
they show such admirable self restraint.
Gov. Pattson, OF Pennsylvania, has en-
deared himself to large proportion OF
the American people by his attitude on
the labor troubles in Pennsylvania. He
declined to hurry troops into the coal,
coke and iron regions on the feverish
and excited demand of the capitalists.
In these highly protected regions Of the
keystone state an appalling mass of
misery exists. To intensity it by pour
ing bullets into men maddened by desti-
tuition and the grinding exactions of the
the governor, with humanity that does
credit to both his heart and head, de-
clined to be party to such tragedy
unless as a last recourse. Happily in
California we know nothing of the mer-
ciless rigor with which miners are
treated in Pennsylvania. Exposed to
fire damp, in pursuit which quickly
saps the strongest vitality, they are be-
deviled with regulations which reduce
the wages of many of them to eighty
and ninety cents day, and the slight
est unfavorable fiuctuation in the coal
or iron trade throws them out of en-
ployment often for months. 1t is
good thing to know that the
citizen soldier recoils from imbuing his
hands in the blood OF poor people mad
dened by injustice and want. Such
work calls for assassins, not soldiers.
AS to the affair at Fourmies, it seems to
have been one OF those massacres which
have been SO frequent in France as to
scarcely rise to the dignity of a nine
days wonder. After they have been
repeated often enough they generally
result in a revolution sufficiently serious
to drive the officials who have counte-
nanced them out of power and perhaps
into the grave.

EITHER the abilities of Mr.. James G.
Blaine have been very much exagger-
ated in the past or he has undergone a
very decided intellectual eclipse. For a
man of whom SO much was expected he
seems to have fallen very fat. By the
way, the state department seems to be
a position quite fatal to the preten-
sions of men OF mediocre ability. This
may arise from the fact that it has been
filled in the past by such men as Thomas
Jefferson, Daniel Webster, William l..
Marcy and others, of almost equal re-
nown. In his opening correspondence
with the Marquis di Rudini Mr.. Blaine
found the state papers of his predeces-
sor, Mr.. Webster, of great utility.
If he had caught some of the
spirit of William L. Marcy it would not
have been amiss. When Mr.. Thomas
Francis Bayard entered the cabinet Of
Mr.. Cleveland as secretary of state he
was one OF the most prominent candi-
dates for the presidency in the Demo-
cratic party. Since he took up the port
folio of the state department not the
faintest whisper from any portion of the
United States has connected Mr.. Bay
ards name with the presidency. There
is in this circumstance a lesson for Mr..
Blaine. There is no question but that
his personal prestige has suffered quite
a shock by his occupancy of
the state department. He was in
that position just long enough under
Garfield to get mixed up in some job
bing affairs aiming at private gain in
Peru. Thus far he seems to have kept
his skirts clear of speculative ventures,
but it is apparent that he has lost his
old buoyancy and spirit. A tanner sec

THERE is something very striking in
the way gold is pouring out of the
United States. The telegraph advises
us that for the week ending yesterday
SIS, 400. 900 had been sent to Europe, and
that today 81, 800, 900 would follow. The
Mckinley bill is evidently not produc-
ing in the United States that high de-
gree of prosperity which its promoters
so confidently assured the country would
result from its passage. Its effect has
been to largely curtail the European de-
mand for our products and to generate
there an unmistakable feeling of hostil-
ity towards this country. Meanwhile,
the great benefits which were to accrue
from reciprocity with South America
have failed to materialize. They are in
the minds eye of enthusiasts, and there
they will be likely to stay.

THE coming summer in Los Angeles
ought to be unusually lively. Not for
years have so many public improve
ments of substantial character, and
involving the disbursement of 50 much
money here, been under way. Take all
these projects together, and upwards OF
three million dollars will be expended.
What between the Terminal railway
company, the Belt Electric railway, the
canning company, and other improve
ments, there should be plenty of en-
ployment for labor. Elegant private
residences and stylish business blocks
are going up on all hands. The crops
have never approached those which are
now nearing maturity, either in quantity
or quality. There is not nook
or corner of the county from
which this glad note of prosperity
does not reach us. The orange
crop commanded excellent prices, our
vineyards are again coming into bear
ing, the white scale has been practically
extirpated, some of our large ranches
are being subdivided and put on the
market; and, altogether, the outlook
could not we'll be more cheerful. Only
the indifference of our people can pre-
vent great mining boom in the near
future. Our petroleum interests are
demonstrating their extent and value.
Mr.. Richard Kerens and his associates
have undertaken to give us railway
connecting Los Angeles with the Union
Pacific at Salt Lake and Ogden inside
of eighteen months. This means
cheap fuel and consequent manufac-
lures, and boom which will discount
all previous experiences. Our seaside
resorts ought to be extensively patron
lied this summer for the reason that, all
through Southern California, the farm
ers and horticulturists have made money.
The eastern people are discovering the
value of lands on which the farmer can
raise three crops of potatoes and from
six to eight crops OF alfalfa year. There
is great deal of money here now seek
Los Angeles herald., 1891-05-09

ALL notes which reach us of late re-
specting business developments in Los
Angeles are of an exceedingly encourag-
ing character. The latest relates to the
Terminal railway company. This
corporation issued million and hall
dollars worth of bonds short time ago.
They were promptly taken at par by
London capitalists. All this money will
be used in Los Angeles county in carry
ing out the plans of this enterprising St
Louis syndicate. 1t was a pleasant day
when these gentlemen turned their at
tention in this direction.
