The Rapid Transit railway, whose
present terminus is Monrovia, is medi-
tating very ambitious projects, and
which, by the way, are likely to be
carried out. After the change to the
broad gauge branch will be swung
round from Alhambra to Pasadena and
thence to the Sierra Madre settlement
at the foothills. This branch will ulti-
mately, mo doubt, be carried up to Col
ton and San Bernardino. That, how
ever, is purely our own conjecture, our
authoritative information only carving
the road to the Sierra Madre line. Our
authentic information begins again with
the statement that the Rapid Transit
will, be built at once to Pomona and
Riverside. Whether the young giant will
next take spring across the continent,
and land in some great emporium, time
will tell.

IT MIGHT perhaps be not amiss to re-
mind the Express that when it was
fashionable to abuse every one con-
nected with railway, from Governor
Stanford down to the humblest subordi
nate-that is to say, in the red hot days
OF 9-S0-the HERALD refrained so
studiously from joining in the dema-
gogic howl that it was often accused of
wearing the railway collar by persons
who are ready to swell any clamor that
may involve little momentary popu-
larity. This journal kept the even tenor
of it's way then as it does now, vcering
neither to the right nor to the left. 1t as
little deserves the charge of brutal en-
nifty to Stanford now as it did OF wear
ing his collar then. The fact is that the
amount of adulation that is being di-
rected towards the senior senator from
California is becoming nauseating to
most people and to all people OF sense.
That was wise nation Of antiquity who
appointed an official to 60 before their
king at stated hour every day and re-
mind him that he was mortal. Mr..
Stanford, it is to be hoped, has enough
OF his old time good judgment to dis
count the extrayagant encomiums OF
which he is the recipient.

What New England Reads,

1t is interesting to know what are the
reading tastes of such typical New
England town as Springfield, Mass. The
city report of its public library shows,
of course. that works of fiction are most
in demand, with Edna Lyall, Walter
Besant, E. P. Roe, Amelia B. Edwards,
w. D. Howells, Jane Austen. Amelia
Barr and Scott, Dickens and Thackeray
as the most generally read authors.
Next to works of fiction come biogra-
ply, travels, science, education, history
and theology, in the order named.
Among historical works everything re-
lating to the civil war is greedily read
by all classes, but especially by Grand
Army men. In fact, it is difficult to
supply the demand for some of these
books. OF French books, the one most
read is Victor Hugo's ''Les Miserables.' 7
The demand for German books is light.
Shakespeare is read principally by the
pupils of the public schools. Exchange.

THE resurrection of Ex-Governor Dick
Oglesby as the candidate of the Illinois
Republicans for the United States sem
ate is surprise to most people as great
as would the coming to life of one of
the Ptolemies. The average reader of
newspapers had about arrived at the
conclusion that Dick had succumbed to
the peculiar brand OF whiskey affected
by politicians in the Sucker state. His
ability to put himself outside of consid-
erable quantities of the rattleberry of
the country was great, as, to say truth,
were his other abilities. Any vompari-
son between Palmer and Oglesby would
be insulting to the former, whose states
manlike qualities were only equaled by
his valor in the field, and whose splen-
did personal worth is recognized by
every one. Senator Farwell's contempt
uous references to President Harrison as
''little Benny" and as that flea" doubt
less cost him the caucus nomination OF
his party. The president may not be
popular, but he has some patronage left.

have seen the plain black with them
for several days journey as far as the
eye could reach, They seemed to be
coming northward continually from the
distant plains to the Platte to get water,
and'would plunge in and swim across
by thousands-so numerous were they
that they changed not only the color of
the water, but it's taste, until it was I'M
fit to drink; but we had to use it. One
night when we were encamped on the
south fork of the Platte they came in
such droves that we had to sit UP, and
fire guns and make whatfires we could
to keep them from running over us and
trampling us into the dust. We could
hear them laundering all night long:
the ground fairly trembled with vast ap-
preaching bands, and if they had not
been diverted wagons, animals and
emigrants would have been trodden

SECRETARY OF THE NAVY TRACY seems
to have over-weighted Commander Rel
ter. In reply to that recreant officials
demand for a court martial to investi-
gate his conduct in the Barrundia affair,
the secretary gives him another and

doubt but that Reiter is responsible for
the death of this Central American ref

disgraceful in the extreme to the Amer

A WASHINGTON telegram, which is sup
posed to emanate from some source
which is near to the president, says that
Harrison is very much dissatisfied with
the free coinage bill passed by the SEN

in full accord with Secretary Window
on the silver question, and that that
official is known to be unqualifiedly op-
posed to free coinage. Unless some
notifications are made in the bill. Har-
rison will veto it. Ii he should do SO he

THAT General Miles, in the conduct of
the Indian war, has exhibited marked
tact and judgment, will scarcely be dis
puted by any fair-minded person outside
of very restricted portion OF the east.
He has shown such marked know ledge
of the right way OF dealing with the
Indians that the authorities at Wash
ington ought to pay heed to his sugges-
tions of turning the permanent control
of the ahorigine over to the war de-
partment. The officers of the regular
army of the United States are very
superior grade of men who, as class, in
addition to high order of trained in
telligence, possess a punctilious sense
of personal honor. This can by no
means be said of the great majority of
Indian agents. There is only too much
reason for believing that they originally
sought their positions in order to make
as much money as could be squeezed out
OF them. That they are hated by the
Indians has been shown in thousand
ways. and the redskin, like any other

pending watches from chatelaines, from
short chains hanging from a brooch and

The new chains are very fine and gen.
orally are divided at intervals of three
or four inches by pearls, turquoises or
garnets, strung like beads, or by small
diamonds, rubies, sapphires or moon
stones, set clear.

folds of the dress or carried in side
