GENERAL VANDEvER was conveniently
absent from his seat when test vote
was taken in the house on Friday upon
the silver question. Mr.. Bland offered
an amendment to the sundry civil APP
preparation bill to the effect that silver
might be coined on the same terms as
gold. The point of order was raised that
the amendment was not germane to the
subject OF the bill, and the speaker sus-
tanned the point OF order. On appeal
from the ruling Of the chair, the vote
was l34 ayes to 127 noes. This is re-
versal of the practice of both houses Of
congress from the beginning. Time and
again have measures which were liable
to incur, the presidential veto been
tackled to appropriation bills SO as to
compel the executive to comply with the
will of the representatives. As this vote
was not really vote to interpret the
rules, but test upon the free coinage
of silver, it is interesting to know that
only eleven Republicans voted with the
minority

The Horrible Experience Of an American

CAPTAIN of the schooner Helena, which
sailed from Yokohama, April IL, 1888,
ON a cruise for walrus. They captured
walrus in Russian territory and the
schooner was captured. by the Russian
gunboat and taken to Vladivostock,
where the crew were tried and
convicted OF violating the seal
and fishing laws. They were
condemned to imprisonment in the coal
mines for three years. They were
obliged to send up ten tons day for the
first year, and six tons. a day for the
other years. If the stated amount ol
coal did not come up, no rations were
Captain Morris was fastened to Pole
the chain between them being eight
feet long. After being fastened The
Captain saw no one but the Pole unit
liberated, mot being allowed to leave the
mine during the entire three years
sleeping on the floor of the mine ani
subsisting on rice soup. At the enc
of three months, his companion
tdied, but no one came to release hin

days the captain cut the Poles body il

When Morris came out he found +. G

NONE Of our contemporaries exhibit a
more striking sense of the proprieties
than the Express. Whenever a senti-
menJ of superfine delicacy can be
evolved from its inner consciousness its
columns are sure to be ornamented by
it. Even Joseph Surface, the happy
creation of Richard Brinsley Sheridan,
could not give utterance to triple
plated, double-milled moral reflection
with more grace than our evening con-
temporary, as witness the following,
from its issue of Saturday
The speculation as to Mr.. Windom's g
successor, which began Immediately at
ter the announcement of his death, Sc
cured no encouragement from eX-Sena-
tor Platt, OF New York, whose name was
naturally linked with the office. What
Mr.. Platt said when the subject was
broached in his presence is worth re.
peating in California as a lesson in the
proprieties. Having waved his hand in
impatient gesture this is what Mr.. Platt
said: ''If the courtesies of life cannot
be observed in politics, let us at least
consider the decencies. ! think that
this talk about candidates for secretary
OF the treasury, when Mr.. Windom's
body is hardly cold, is in shocking bad
taste, to say the least. No friend OF
mine who has any regard for my feel
ings will drag my name forward. Ny
position regarding this orany other pub

point"
After reading the foregoing, we can
scarcely realize it as possible that it was
our contemporary which, weeks ago,
when George Hearst was supposed to be
lying at the point of death, sent around
its reporters to get opinions as to whom
the legislature should elect as his sue
cessor. In the case OF Window there
was at least dead man to deal with,
and while we doubt the propriety OF any
premature agitation of the matter, there
was not in that case the striking indeli-
cacy of debating the possibility Of a
mans kicking the bucket. 1t is pleas
ing to note that our tough old pioneer
holds out in pretty good shape, and it
need surprise no one ii he should be
alive and kicking years hence. Mean
while, as our contemporary has got hold
OF good thing in the sentiments OF
''Me Too" Tom Platt, anent the dead
Window. we advise it to hold on to il
and ile it for future reference.

FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
The Lawmakers Humping Themselves as
the Session Wanes.

the Session Wanes.
! iWAsuINGToN, Feb. s. The two
branches of congress made rapid pro-
gress during the last week in the trans
action of public business, but there is a
general disposition to doeven more work
daily henceforward. In the senate the
paval appropriation bill will probably
sbe called up tomorrow, after final action
is reached on the eight-hour bill, and
the District of Columbia and diplomatic
and consular appropriation bills will be
reported from the committee during the
week. Other measures that will proba-
bly, intervene are the copyright bill,
the Indian depredations bill and Mica
SIaugua canal bill. 1t is within the
bounds of possibility that an effort will
be made to attach the free silver coinage
as rider to- one OF the appropriation
bills, in which case some delay may re-
suit. ,.a-...---.-,.-s-
Appropriation bills will probably con-
tinue to absorb nearly all the time OF
the house for some days to come, and
the prospect for any general legislation
during this week is not bright. The
silver bill and the report of the Raum
investigation committee are subjects
which may be precipitated upon the
house during the week, but in what
form it is impossible to predict.

LATE Saturday night burglar at
tempted to rob the store OF William
Ring, grocer OF the Bay City. Being
told to. throw up his hands, Ring
obeyed, but in doing so lifted one of the
weights from the counter, with which he
dealt the robber IA stunning blow, and
then proceeded to put the fellow under
arrest. The bold burglar now lies in
Jail with very sore head and very
heavy heart. Haswel,, Wells-Fargo' 8
messenger, the other night at Alila
drove off a whole gang OF train robbers
by his plucky fight. And last week Mr..
Floyd of East Los Angeles puta highway
robber armed with cooked pistol to
fight. 1t may not be wise to risk
ones life for rascal counters; but there
is no doubt most of us submit to rob
berry in a very timid spirit. A few more
cases like these three would make rob-
berry very unpopular and drive many
a man to seek an honest way of gaining
his bread rather than to attack such
men as Haswell, Floyd or Ring.

A npxon from Washington point ts to

\ RuMoR from Washington points to
John c. New as the probable successor
of Window in the treasury department.
Mr.. New is now consul-general to Lon
don. He is proprietor OF the Indian
apolis Journal. He was treasurer
of the United States in 1856, after
the retirement of Francis Z.
Spinner, Benz. H. Brewster, and l.. M.
Morrill,, being secretaries of the treas
ury during these last years of Grants
second administration. Mr.. New,
therefore, knows something OF the
finances OF the country. In politics he
is one of the Dudley, Dorsey, Quay,
Wanamaker style Of statesmen. He
believes in a large measure of pretense
to high morality in public life, and in
the practice of every trick and the use
of Doodle on the sly in every method
known to the Dan Burns, Kelly,
Crimmins class of political leaders. But
how many of Mr.. Harrison's closest
friends and advisors are above this same
low level?

4 NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITY.

No wonder that Mr.. w. HI. Mills, in
his excellent address before the chamber
of commerce, expressed his astonish-
ment that no effective movement had
vet been made by capitalists in this city
to establish reduction works here. 1t
certainly is not because the subject has
not been repeatedly and clearly dis
cussed in the press. The HERALD has
for the past fifteen years had frequent oc-
casion to refer to the advantage OF our
situation for the successful establishment
of reduction works. There was some
excuse for the neglect of this great op-
portunity in years past, but now, when
all roads lead to Los Angeles, and the
mines of our immediate back country
and those of Southwestern Nevada and
Arizona are at our very door, it is, as Mr..
Millseays, amazing that the energy and
capital necessary to establish such works
here have not materialized.
The refractory ores of Arizonaare sent
to Omaha, Newark, and some across the
Atlantic to Wales for treatment. The
cost of transportation upon these ores
would OF itself form an important item OF
profit in our favor if they could be worked
here. Ores are now hauled from Calico,
the Lava Beds, and other districts
in San Bernardino county to San Fran
cisco that could be reduced here,
and would come here if we had
the requisite works. Five hundred miles
of transportation in our favor in the
hauling OF all the ores that are now
taken to San Francisco would enable us
to command the custom of all these
mines.
The treasurer OF Mohave county, Ari-
zona, informed us the other day that all
the ores of that county are shipped east,
and he said that the people OF that
county are developing a great number OF
mines and realizing large returns from
them. We could easily secure the re-
duction OF these ores. But why so into
details? Within easy reach OF this city
are mines innumerable, opened and
unopened, that would furnish profitable
returns upon the capital that would be
invested in reduction works at this
point. Indeed there is not more opu'
lent region in mineral wealth in the
world than we have within radius OF
five hundred miles of Los Angeles. To
refuse to take advantage OF the oppor-
tunity which these mines offer us for
the building up OF great local indus
try which would give employment TO
thousands OF men, is strange commen-
tary upon the enterprise and intelli-
gence OF our people.

THE idea set on foot by some of the
southern and quite number OF the
northern states, OF boycotting the
Columbian exposition at Chicago ii the
force bill should become law, has had
a new thing engrafted on it. Plucky
Colorado has declared for the boycott
because some seventy Chicago bankers
have protested against the free coinage
of silver. Coloradans are in favor OF
withdrawing trade from Chicago and
ccntering it on some other western city.
We should not be astonished if Denver
should turn out to be it's preference, and
many worse place could be designated.

A NEW-FANGLED GUN.
4 Chicago Mans Invention that Will
- Revolutionize Coast Defense.

a Chicago Mans Invention that Will
RevolutIonize Coast Defense.
CHICAGO, Feb. S.-The United States
government has authorized a test, at
Fort Sheridan, OF a new gun, 91a feet
long, said to be capable of throw
ing dynamite or other high ex-
plOsive shells a distance of five
miles, thousands OF times in succession
without becoming overheated. The in
ventor is Louis Gotham OF Chicago. The
chief novel feature is the use OF liquified
carbonic acid gas, delivered automatic
ally along the entire length of the
bore at the instant of discharge,
not only as an absorbent of
the heat generated, but as a "cooler"
after the charge has left the gun. By
another device pneumatic pressure is
produced with the powder. Should the
invention prove a success, Gatham ex-
poets that the existing systems Of coast
defense would be revolutionized.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-02-09

THE proposition to change the constitu-
ton so as to extend the limit of legislative
sessions to one hundred days instead
of sixty will be stoutly resisted. The
people find that the time Of the sessions
is now frittered away in the discussion
of questions that should really be sum-
marily disposed of, if the members had
any regard for the exigencies of their
public duties. A large proportion Of
the time of the present session has been
occupied in fighting, pro and con, upon
bills for the division of counties. In
deed the worst feature of the hot con-
troversies developed in these mea-
sures of mere local interest is
that they engender system OF
vote-swapping that affects legislation
of an important general character. A
series OF counties are in state of inter-
nal warfare on the subject OF division.
Their representatives go to Sacramento
with division or antl-division on the
brain. They are willing to sacrifice any
general measure so they can go back to
their constituents and say we have ac-
complished or defeated division. The
divisionists OF the several counties join
forces and pool their issues. What is
the result? They develop a strength
which brings all business into whirl-
pool of antagonisms, and the session is
far spent before needed legislation re-
ceives that attention which it ought to
have commanded from the beginning.
AS long as county division and congener
subjects OF only local concern are thus
permitted to monOpolize the time OF q
legislative session, sixty days, or any
number OF days, will be too short term
in which the public business can be
satisfactorily performed. The passage
| OF general law ON the subject OF county
division, remanding it to vote of the
people OF the county to be divided,
would take this time-consuning and ir-
ritating question out OF the legislature al
together. 1t is in fact special legls-
latlon, and the new constitution, if it
had one object more than another in
view, was to put stop to special legis-
lation. If the assembled wisdom now
in Sacramento will pass general law
under which counties can be divided,
the constitutional sixty days will be a
sufficient term of legislative life in which
to do all the good it is capable OF and as
little harm as it can confne itself to.
