victory to the party. When Mr.. Cleve-
land wrote his letter Of acceptance Of
the Democratic nomination for president
in1SS4 he went ont of his way to say
that the chief magistrate of the nation
ought to be content with single term
No one asked him to say this. 1t was a
purely voluntary outgiving. The people
took him at his word. They con-
fined him to single term. There
is marked popularity of the Ameri-
can people, and that is that, when they
once come to a resolution like that, they
stay by it. The record of Henry Clay
is melancholy confirmation of this
fact.
Mr.. Cleveland would have been much
stronger before the people if he had
maintained an attitude of more reserve.
His desire to communicate his views on
public affairs to the citizens OF the
United States, in didactic shape, has
not met with the ELUSIVE gratitude that
he may possibly have expected. People
are not inordinately fond of being lee
tured, day in and day out. In fact,
they become restive under such pro-
cess. They are glad that the school
master is abroad in the land, but they
would prefer to have his energies
directed rather to their children than to
themselves. Mr.. Cleveland's expanded
rather than sententiors utterances have
produced an effect which may be de-
scribed as irritating rather than emol-
lient.
There is one proposition about the Sc
lection of the next Democratic candidate
for president which, we think, will
commend itself to the common sense of
the average Democrat. If it is to be
accepted that we must have nominee
from the empire state, New York her.
self should be permitted to say who that
nominee shall be. To throw over man
that New York wants. and to take up
one that she does not want, would seem
to be the height of political folly. No
man or journal has more thorough
admiration for the many estimable
qualities of Mr.. Cleveland than the
HERALD. He would make splendid
minister to the court of St. James
under a Democratic administration.
But, in the opinion of this journal, it
would be poor policy to allow the Amer
ican people to say, in 1892, that what
they did in 1888 was right. Like the
Kentucky witness, they have a perverse
habit of standing by their own deliv-
cries.
What the Democratic party needs for
1892 is brand new set of men, in uni
son with the west, south and northwest,
and Democratic to the core, with the
Mugwumps accorded a greeting, in the
Irish phrase, "civil and strange"

HE GOT HIS CHILD.
Mr.. Sam Stone of st. Louis Now Iu
the City.

Mr.. Sam Stone of St. Louis Now Iu
the City.
Mr.. Sam Stone, of st. Louis, his
mother and his child are in the city stay
ing at the Hollenbeck.
Mr.. Stone is we'll known resident OF
St. Louis, who lately was given consid-
erable publicity by the newspapers on
account OF his taking possession of his
child. Mr.. and Mrs. Stone, for reasons
best known to themselves, separated
some time ago, Mrs. Stone retaining the
child. Mr.. Stone wanted his offspring
himself, and awaited his opportunity.
1t came one day when he saw Mrs.
Stone and his child in Choteau avenue
electric car, probably on their way to
Forrest park. Mr.. Stone jumped on the
car and grabbed his child, and fled,
gaining the vantage of the platform OF
car going in the opposite direction be-
fore Mrs. Stone realized what had hap
pened. Mr.. Stone disappeared after
that, and is now in this city.
He conversed with HERALD reporter
yesterday, but did not admit his identi-
ty, for he is not using his own name in
this city. He is much pleased with the
country here and expressed his inten-
ton of becoming land owner and
making Los Angeles his home, if he
found property which suited him. Mr..
Stone stands high in st. Louis social Cir
cles; he is a son of ex-State Senator
Stone, of Missouri, and is greatly
respected and has wide circle OF
friends.

THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR
PRESIDENT.

The Oakland Times, of recent date,
contained very carefully written ed
itorial on the next Democratic candidate
for president. 1t developed ideas very
much in unison with the ideas which
have been SO frequently developed in
the HERALD. We believe that no Dem
ocratic journal can do a better Office to
its party than in seeking to lead it to-
wards success. If its principles are
worth advocating, Democrats should
desire to see their party dominating a
superb country like the United States.
There could not be a more laudable
ambition, and to court defeat is an
instinct Of stupidity and oblivion with
which we have no sympathy. Our
Democratic contemporary thinks that
Cleveland cannot carry New York, but
that David Bennett Hill can. This is
echoing opinions that have found ex-
preston in these columns hundred
times, and which are reverberated from
many intelligent quarters of the United
States.
vi COuTSG, IL InC lCluOCldUlS ltIlOIdl
convention shall see fit to nominate Mr..
Cleveland, that settles the matter as far
as the HERALD is concerned. This jour-
nal would give him most enthusiastic
support, such as his unquestionable
civic virtues and public record deserve.
1t would also endeavor to think that it
had made mistake about mis- running
qualities. We would try to close up the
gap at least as gracefully as the Chroni-
Gle did in the Harrison campaign. We
could do it the more readily because the
HERALD has never attempted to under
value the essential worth of Mr.. Cleve-
land.
Nevertheless, in spite of the attempts
at man worship, which are utterly re-
pugnant to Democratic traditions, every
Democrat ought to labor for the nomi-
nation of standard d-bearer who, he
believes, would be most certain to assure

WITH railway men as with diplomats
language is meant to conceal thought,
to employ the phrase of Talleyrand.
When Jay Gould signalized his triumph
over Charles Francis Adams, in regain
ing the control of the Union Pacific, by
the declaration that no western roads
should be built for five years to come,
most people who read between the lines,
and discount lip service, looked for un-
usual activity in western railroad build
ing, and they will not be disappointed.
Gould himself will steadily push his
Utah Central railway westward. And
now come the Vanderbilts, who an
nounce it to be their purpose to push
the Northwestern to Ogden, where it
will be in a condition to compete for
transcontinental business. Only a few
hundred miles remain to be completed
to accomplish this desideratum, the
Northwestern reaching away down into
Wyoming. The Vanderbilt people
think that Gould has been. unduly
favoring his Missouri Pacific railway in
transcontinental business. Hence the
Depew-V Vanderbilt kick.

TIE ALBINO DUDE RAN.
A woULD-BE MASHER INTER.
VIEWED BY AN ANGRY HUSBAND.
The Encounter That Took Place on Main
Street and the Foot-race Which Fol-
lowed-The Husbands Story.

"You ---, what did you insult my
wife for?"
The speaker was a rather small man,
the spoken to was an albinoish look
ing big man, the place was the corner of
Third and Main streets, and the time
was Thursday evening, at about
O'Clock.
The big albino drew back his fist as
if to strike, but simultaneously the little
man stuck the nickel-plated barrel of a
good sized revolver under the white
haired dnde's nose, and his beligerency
did the lightning change act, and he stuck
his hands as far up above his head as
he could, and shouted "Don't do that,
don't do that" He was evidently afraid
that the small man would 'sdo that"
however, for the next minute he sprinted
down Main street. The man with the
revolver followed, and a HERALD re-
porter Clipped in the race. determined
to be in at the death, if there was one.
The white-haired man acted as if. in
common parlance, his liver was the
same hue as his hair, and disappeared,
distanclng his assailant, who, when
overtaken by the reporter, told the fol-
lowing story:
"That fellow works in furniture
store on Spring street. Some time ago
nv wife went there to make some pur-
chases, and he accosted her. After con-
versing some time he told her that if
she would leave me and 60 with him,
he would send her to Chicago, give her
horses and carriages and everything she
wanted. She came home and told me,
making me promise / would not do any
thing about it. Fer her sake did not,
until could get her to leave the city
for visit to some relatives. Then de-
termined that l would have it out with
him. But what can you do with
coward who throws up his hands and
runs? 1 could not shoot man
while he was running. l expected he
would show fight, and was going to act
accordingly, but a coward like that is
not worth the lead it would take to
puncture his carcass"
The little man reported the matter to
Chief of Police Glass, and was told by
that officer that the albino dude was
man of a very unsavory reputation,
whose record was known by the police.
The two men have not met since, but ii
they do, the odds are heavy that the
white-haired masher will have to make
a most humble apology or take the con-
sequences of refusal, which are likely

A New Departure.

The management of the Dime musee-
theater will inaugurate new policy in
conducting their resort. Commencing
today, Saturday, they will run it as
popular priced theater, (10c. and 2Oc.),
giving only one show at night of three
hours duration, after the plan of the
Wigwam, Orpheum and other popular
theaters in San Francisco. Even the
name of the house will be changed to
the "Novelty theater," and seats are
provided for all, whether holding 10 or
20-cent ticket. There will be matinees
on Saturday and Sunday only, and the
public demand for moderate priced
amusement will doubtless insure the
success of the new departure. When
the public find good show at such a
nominal cost it is no wonder they pat
ronize it literally.

SATURDAY, APRIL 1s, 1891.
ABOUT THE BELT ELECTRIC RAILWAY.

The momentary suspension of work,
on the Belt Electric railway, at the cor
ner of Spring and Second streets, has
directed attention to this great project,
which is in most energetic hands. The
power house of the company is progress.
ing at very rapid rate. 1t will prob.
ably be completed long within the time
stipulated in the contract. 1t will cost
about $16O, 900, and will compare favor
ably with any similar edifce OF the
country, although Los Angeles has a
great advantage in not being obliged to
build with the extra care required in
regions where extremes of heat and cold
are known, as in Boston and other east.
ern cities.
The brief delay in pushing the road
bed has been owing to defect in the
castings of the corners, which were evi-
IDENTIFY never fitted together, and were
carelessly made from the drawings.
However, this interruption will make
no difference in the announced date for
the opening of the road to Westlake
park. 1t will be in running order by
the 1st of July to that point.
Talking of electric railways, DR.. R. H.
Mcdonald, president of the Pacific bank,
San Francisco, whose sons are largely
interested in the Los Angeles Electric
Belt road, lately made avisit to Spokane
Falls, Tacoma, and other northern points,
in which the electric system has been
introduced with great success. He says
that the last mile of cable road has been
built. Hereafter electricity will rule the
railway roost.
The immediate plans of the Belt Elec-
tric railway company of Los Angeles are
confined to the completion of the power
house, which will have a capacity for
propelling three hundred cars under the
conditions which exist in this city, and
some twelve miles of double track which
really means twenty-four miles OF rail.
They will for time content them
sell es with fairly inaugurating that
system, but will doubtless shortly
enter upon more ambitious plans.

one-third less expense than cable roads,
and operated at one-fourth less outlay
than cables. These facts are already
established, and they really do not tell
the whole story of the advantages in
favor Of the electric plants. The system
is growing with wonderful rapidity. In
Boston they are now completing CEN
trail power house with capacity of
thirteen thousand horse power and fa-
cilities for doubling this power. OF
course, the number of miles which can
be operated by given horsepower de-
pends on the density of population and
the number of cars run. It is safe to
say, however, that before the Los An
geles Electric railway has been long
amongst US we shall see goodly mile
age reported as under operation from
this noble power house, which is going
up at more rapid rate than any other
building that has ever been put up in
California.

THE council, after long struggle, sue
ceeded yesterday in appropriating $1,000
to help amuse President Harrison DUR
ing his few hours stay in Los Angeles.
Most people whose ideas are rectangular
and perpendicular will think that the
committee ought to have gone down
into their own pockets and raised this
money. We heartily believe in enter
tanning the president, and hope that his
experiences amongst US may be de-
lightful, but this thing of appropriating
public money without warrant of law is
a thing that this journal takes no stock

Two carloads of green peas and car
load of apples were shipped east yester-
day. This is probably the first carload
of apples that was ever sent east from
Los Angeles. 1t is not generally know
that, at the New Orleans exposition, the
Los Angeles apples carried of the sweep
stakes and most of the other premiums.
1t had usually been supposed, prior to
that, that this region was not specially
adapted to the growth of this delicious
fruit. Thus is dispelled another of the
bizarre illusions as to this section.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Times. is not always happy in its an
nouncements. In it's editorial columns
yesterday appeared the paragraph:
Bismarck has been elected to the
"Reichstag. Now we may look out for
"some fun when the old war horse takes
'shis seat" If the esteemed Times had
chosen to read the Associated Press dis
patches, which it receives in common
with the HERALD, it would have learned
that Bismarck was not elected to the
Reichstag. He has been obliged to sub
nit to the modification of failure Of
election in the Geestemunde district,
and a supplemental election will be
needed to determine the result. This is,
in effect, crushing defeat for the noble
Prince. Even if, in the supplemental
election, he shall succeed, the mortifca-
ton of only slightly leading his social
ist opponent, must forever rankle in his
aged breast. If he should win finally,
he must feel in the humor of Pyrrhus
when he exclaimed, Zone more such
victory and am undone."

occasion will be the appearance in this

entitled A Social Session. The box Office
has been open since Thursday, and the

A Social Session is advertised as very
funny entertainment, and those who
were at Piper's opera house last evening
have additional faith in advertisements.
There is not single cry in the whole
