How swift the heavenly course they run:
Whose hearts, and faith, and hopes are one.
I heard a Baptist minister once say
that he thought in the millennium 1t
would he all one great Baptist church,
and I heard Methodist minister say
that he thought in the great Millennlal
day it would be all one great Methodist
church; and have known Presbyterian
minister who thought that in the Millen-
NAL Cay it would be all one great Pres
byteriau church. Now think they arc
all mistaken. l thing the Millennial
church will be a composite church; and
Just as you may take the best parts OF
five or six tunes, and under the skilltul
hands ola Handel, Mozart or beethoven
entwine them into one grand and over
powering symphony, so [ suppose, IN
the latter days OF the world, God will
take the best parts Of al denominations
of Christians, and weave them into one
great ecclesiastical harmony, broad as
the earth and high as tire heavens, and
that will be the church Of the future.

A RECEPTION rendered by the mem
bers Of the G. A. R. to Leonidas L.
Polk, the president of the National
Farmers Alliance, gave that gentleman
the opportunity to show that he is an
orator who can throw around an audi
ence the magic spell Of true eloquence.
He spoke for half an hour, and treated
the subjects he discussed with an ability
that aroused and retained the interest
OF all who were present. We give a
very complete abstract of his address in
other columns. 1t is to the credit of
the members of the Grand Army in Los
Angeles that they took the initiative In
giving a reception to this distinguished
ex-officer of the confederate army. Such
graceful acts as this do more to "close
the chasm" than all the fanfarronade of
politicians who are ever crying out for
peace, yet constantly acting on the prin-
ciple of keeping up irritation.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-10-20

The State Farmers alliance will meet
here today in convention. Thief fact that
Mr.. Leonidas L. Polk, the president of
the national organization. is here gives
added interest and importance to this
convention. While we believe that the
essentials which the alliance demands
in national legislation are all in line
with the principles of the great Demo
cratic party and can be reached through
that party, we are free to concede that
there are many reforms, both political
and industrial, which the alliance can
further and carry out by their organiza-
ton. There is no good reason to give
why the farmers should be at the mercy
OF spectators in their crops. With CO.
operative warehouses they might be
able to take advantage of the markets
and not be compelled, as they now in the
most part are, to sell at prices that had
been purposely lowered by the men who
manipulate the local markets. Why
should not the farmers, now that Europe
is In straits for bread supplies, and will
pay an enormous price for grain,
not reap the benefits of the
great advance in rates? Every other
interest and class have organized to pro-
tect themselves and to make the most
out of their labor or their productions.
An incident is in point. The Farmers
Alliance of San Miguel is about to erect
a -four mill to consume the wheat of
that section. The farmers there realize
that they are plucked both ways-that
they are compelled to part with their
grain at the lowest rate and to buy their
-four at the highest. This -four mill
will demonstrate the profit and the
economy to the farmers of San Miguel
by it's establishment in their locality,

A CARDINAL POLITICAL POINT.

Los Angeles is today the center of as
many and varied activities as signalize
any portion of the American continent.
In addition to having in our midst an
Agricultural and Horticultural fair, we
are graced by a numerous and strong
delegation of the Alliance party, under
the leadership of Col. Leonidas Polk,
the head of that order. 1t is said that
the Alliance are bound to be very
potential in the issue OF the
next presidential election. To be
frank, we do not believe this. We
think that the result of the elections in
the states of Ohio and New York will be
far more potential than any possible ac-
tivity of the Alliance party. Ii Mr..
Campbell carries Ohio he will be the
next candidate of the Democratic party
for president, and, consequently, the
next president. If Mr.. Mckinley car
ries the Buckeye state he will be the
Republican candidate for president, and
will be duly defeated by his Democratic
opponent. The Alliance organization
cannot disturb either of these cardinal
facts. All the same, there are combina-
J tions of states which might be carried
either in the north or south in the in
terest of Alliance candidates that would
throw the election into the house of
representatives OF the United States. In
such conjuncture the Democratic can
didates would come out triumphantly
elected. However, it is scarcely worth
while to descend to such conjectures.
Roswell P. Flower is sure to be the gov
ernor of New York, and as goes the En-
pire state so goes the union. If the
Democracy OF the country shall make up
its mind that the nomination shall go to
New York it will concede that that
state itself shall name its favorite
son. Neither Georgia, nor Tennessee,
nor Kentucky will seek to dictate the
choice of New Workers as to their pref
erence for president. In this unques
toned fact there is tower OF strength
to Governor Hill.

THE Chino beet-sugar factory has re-
ported to the treasury department at
Washington total manufacture of S25
tonsof refined sugar since the commence
ment of work there. The bounty upon
that amount of sugar amounts to $50, 900,
pretty good nest-egg itself towards the
cost of factory. AS the factory has
only been in operation three months,
this bounty would represent $40, 900 for
a campaign of six months, which is per-
haps the extentof a ugar-manufacturing
year here. With such results before the
farmers and landowners of this section,
there should be no limit to the number
of factories that will be started. 1t seems
perfectly feasible for the farmers to start
factories here on the cooperative plan,
and thus participate themselves to the
fullest extent in the profits on the sugar,
as well as in the liberal bounty paid by
the government.

THE opening day of the Sixth district
fair at Agricultural park yesterday was
the most largely attended ever wit
messed in this county. No one esti-
mated the number at the race course at
less than six thousand, and that means
tremendous concourse of people. The
programme of races was carried out
very satisfactorily, and each day will
present attractions that will doubtless
draw as large crowds continuously as
were present yesterday. The exhibition
at the chamber of commerce last eve
ming was not as complete as it will be
tonight, when the formal opening will
take place. This is a very fine and cred
liable exhibition, and will not be over
looked by. any one who takes an interest
in the industrial and productive charac-
teristics of this section of the state.
The Sixth district promises to make for
itself an enviable reputation this year.

THE report from Washington, that
the supreme court has taken under
consideration a motion to advance
the case OF Boyd We. Thayer
for the Office of governor OF Ne
braska, calls to mind the recent case in
this state in which our supreme court
granted a new trial to man who had
been sentenced to San Quentin. But
when the officers went to the state pen
itentiary to bring their man down here
for re-trial, they were confronted with
the fact that he had served out his SEN
tence and been discharged some time
before. If the United States supreme
court fails to take up the Boyd-Thayer
case soon, the term OF the Office in dis
pute will have expired.

BEN's CASE.
Still Dragging its Weary Length
A1onp

Along.
The embezzlement proceedings against
Ben Hunsaker in the justice court came
up again yesterday afternoon before
Justice Owens. This case has become
somewhat of chestnut" so to speak,
and the reading public are firing of the
details as to how Ben persuaded the
Counties" to stake him to $1,000, as he
himself admits.
The only witness examined yesterday
afternoon was O.W. Hunsaker, a brother
of the defendant. He was on the wit
ness stand from until p. m. and sub
mitted to rigid cross-examination at
the hands of Assistant District Attorney
Phibbs. o. w. Hunsaker was willing
witness for the defense. About this
there is no mistake. He did his best
in answering the questions to sustain
the "agency theory" advanced as de-
Tense.
At Bpm. o. W. Hunsaker left the
stand and court adjourned the case I'M
til Wednesday, at 8 am. The justice
announced that in the future he did not
propose to have outside matters intro
duced in evidence during the examina-
ton. In the future he said that he
would confne the testimony strictly to
the issues, as he did not desire to have
the examination run all winter.

and when that has been done, it will set
an example that will inevitably be fol-
lowed extensively throughout the state.
But it is not alone in this respect that
the farmers will be benefited by organ
ization. The Accommodation of
thought and experience which comes
from close and frequent intercourse will
widen and expand the ideas of every
member, and there are thousands of
ways in which the agriculturists will
reap the advantage of this intelligent
friction,

THE reported convention between the
United States and Germany will prob
ably result in admitting German beet
sugar free into this country. The con-
sideration for this concession will be the
admission free into Germany of Ameri-
can grain and provisions, including pork.
Germany is capable OF landing an i'm
mensity of sugar in this country. Until
we can produce ourselves all this sugar
we consume, we can afford to take a very
large importation of this article, but
when we have carried out the reciprocal
feature of the Mckinley bill with Cuba,
Porto Rico and all the sugar-prod icing
countries of the world, the effect will be
to so lower the price of sugar here that
it will no longer pay foreign manufac-
turers to send their sugar to US. 1t goes,
of course, without saying that no foreign
manufacturers will be able to sell their
sugar in this market against the home
manufacturers as long as the latter re-
ceive the bounty. With the prospect
of large importations, there is hope that
the sugar trust on this coast will be COM
PEELED to let go, and then we shall have
as many pounds for dollar in California
as the people do in New York.

THE news which reaches us from Chile
is very much more gratifying to Ameri-
can pride than the cablegrams which
have lately reached us. 1t appears that
the better class of Chilefios are very
much mortified at the butchery of un-
armed American sailors by armed
Chilefios. The junta has also decided to
issue safe-conducts out of Chile to per-
sons to whom Minister Egan has
given the right of asylum. This
is all as it should be, and
modifies the resentment which
has naturally arisen in the United
States over the recent attack on the
sailors OF the American ship Baltimore.
But the incident itself, and all incidents
lately, emphasize the necessity for the
instant creation by the United States,
by building or purchase, of sufficient
navy, with approved modern arma-

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

Professor Elliott has philosophical
article in the last number of the Forum
in which he considers the grave ques-
ton of the failure of municipal govern
ments in the United States in their
most important functions. He says that
he does not believe that under our pres
emit system of frequent changes in
officials-especially of those who are in
departments that require trained and
scientific men to successfully conduct
them-we shall ever be able to secure
the satisfactory service we are entitled
to. Science has so greatly advanced in
the past thirty years in the great
desiderata of public health in cities,
and in the art of lighting them, that
not to have trained men in the depart
ments which are entrusted with these
functions is to fail in securing the best
service and the best results to which the
public are entitled.
In countries ruled by aristocracies,
where there is fxity of tenure of office,
and where scientific men at ade-
quate salaries are permanently en-
ployed in these departments, far better
results are reached than in democracies,
where there is constant change and little
consideration given to the qualifications
of the candidates for the positions they
are called upon to fill from vocations
altogether foreign to the duties that are
required from them as officials. In
proof of this assumption he cites the
fact that the health rate in all the lead
ing European cities is infinitely higher
than that of American cities, and shows
that the death rate in the most popu-
lous and least wholesome districts OF
London is less than that of Boston or
New York. In london and other Euro
pean cities the sewerage systems are
entrusted to sanitary engineers-men
who have made a lifelong study of the
subject, and who when once in place
remain there as long as they are capa-
BILE of giving good service. 1t is mani
fest that when the drainage of cities
& is in the hands of a corps of
men thus fitted to discharge their
duties, the best results of which their
situations are capable are the conse-
quence. In the United States, how
ever, we have not yet reached this de-
gree OF efficiency in our sanitary depart
ments, simply for the reason that the
heads of those departments are elected
at short intervals, and the men chosen,
even if suited by education and ex-
perience to benefit the community, are
in Office for 80 short time that no con-
tinuous plan can be carried out by them.
There is but one way in which we can
approximately improve on our present
system, and that is by extending the
terms OF our mayors to a great deal
longer tenure than now obtains. Then
to give them the appointing power OF
all the heads of departments that deal
with the hygiene OF the cities, and those
appointments to last during good be-
havior. 1t will be difficult to bring our
ideas down to this; but if the exigencies
of the public good require it, we shall
undoubtedly find a way to bring it
about.

SOME time ago the Hon. William II.
Workman made trip to st. Louis. He
has been leisurely on his return home.
On his arrival at Denver, Col, he was
encountered by correspondent of the
Denver Sun, who interviewed him as
follows:
Ex-Mayor w. II. Workman, OF Los
Angeles, and J. S. Mills, of Pasadena,
CAL, are guests at the Metropole. Both
gentlemen are connected with the Los
Angeles Terminal railway, which con-
meets Pasadena and Los Angeles with
San Pedro bay.
They are also at the head of corpora
ton which proposes to build road to
Los Angeles that will make the coast
over 800 miles nearer Chicago and the
east. This can be done, the gentlemen
say, by building a new line from the
terminus OF the Rio Grande Western
at Marysville, Utah, or Milford on the
Union Pacific, to point on the Atlantic
and Pacific in California, near The
Needles, a distance of $50 miles.
The proposed route is through an en-
tirely new country, which is rich in
mineral and agricultural products. Mr..
Workman and Mr.. Mills will leave
tonight for Salt Lake and will then go
over the route by wagon.
st. Louis parties are interested in the
scheme, and it is proposed to have the
road in operation in time for use at the
worlds fair.
We have no doubt that, through a
connection with either of these roads,
Angelenos will be able to get to the
worlds tair with great reduction in
distance and expense. We shall look
for our late townsman with great inter-
eat, and we have no doubt that his
wagon trip will inure greatly to the
benefit of the road and to the enterprising
people who are exploiting the POSSIBLE
ties OF this section.
