French sculptor Bartholdi most gener-
ously donated his magnificent statue of
s'Liberty Enlightening the World to
the United States it was doubted for a
long time whether the money needed to
erect pedestal for it on Bedloe's island
could be raised. Neither the state of
New York nor the United States
seemed to care a baubee whether
it should have pedestal or
not. In this notifying dilemma
the New York World threw itself into
the breach, and its earnest appeals re-
suited in subscriptions OF the needed
volume, and the harbor of New York
now rejoices in that noble ornament
Before the war the New York Ledger, a
flash story paper with some redeeming
features, drew attention to the neglected
condition in which the state of Virginia
ington. 1t started crusade to raise
money sufficient to properly repair and
decorate the tomb of Washington, and
it succeeded. 1t called to its aid the
powerful cooperation of the ladies in
this great work. In great matters, as in
small, the appeals of the press have been
found highly effective. Last year the
New York Tribune appealed for subscrip-
tions to enable the poor children of New
York to enjoy summer excursions. The
response was gratifying in the extreme,
and much of the bad Republican out
givings of that great newspaper were
undoubtedly condoned by this gracious
act. Our San Francisco contemporary,
the Examiner, made the hearts OF the
poor children of that city happy last
Christmas by providing them, through
an appeal to the public, with most
bounteous holiday dinner. The New
York World is now engaged in provid-
ing, through public subscription, straw
berry and cream repasts for the children
in Madison Square garden, ten thousand
at relay. Verify the world moves, and
the press is the lever that moves it. 1t
lays over the supposititious lever of old
Archimedes all hollow, and has some
thing for the necromancer to stand on,
besides.

Mr.. HAMILTON AIDE, musical and
art critic, who accompanied Africanus
Stanley to this country, says that the
only good English spoken in the United
States he found in Boston, amongst the
upper class. The Bostonians, accord
ing to this authority, speak good Eng
lish because they speak it like English
men. Well, that settles it. If they
speak English like Englishmen they
maltreat the language shamefully. The
wretched drawl of a dialect, with the ever
recurring long accent on the a, one hears
in England, is anything but good Eng
lish to ears that are cultivated. The
best English spoken in the United States
is in the far western and the Pacific
coast cities. Educated people in those
cities have corrected the villainous ac-
cent that has adhered to the eastern pro-
nunciation from the Mayhower period,
and given the language the pure,
rounded, euphonious, robust expression
natural to it. Englishmen's English
has lost its flavor with age, and can no
longer be accepted as authority. The
English language as it is spoken by cul-
tivated western Americans, will in the
next century establish the law of its vo-
cal grammar.

THAT California is the best breeding
country in the United States for blooded
horses is shown by the fact that her
flyers are taking first rank on all the
eastern tracks. Just look at a list like
this: Out of the seven Derbys run at
Chicago since 1885, four California
horses have taken first stakes. These
were Volante in 1885, Silver Cloud in
1886, G. P. Todd in 1887, and Emperor
Norfolk in 1883. OF these four horses
three were foaled and bred in Los An
geles county. Here is remarkable
record of the prices brought by colts
Mr.. Roses mare Minnehaha has foaled
to Stamboul four colts that sold in the
aggregate for $50, 900. One of these colts
alone (Mascot) sold for $25,000 News
has been received from a private source
that the sale of Morocco, the last OF
these remarkable colts, was concluded
recently in New York for $4,000.
Who will say that there is not immense
possibilities in Los Angeles county for
the breeders of blooded stock?

ELOPED WITH his WIFE.
AN EXCITING EPISODE AT THE
ARCADE DEPOT.
A Pretty Girl and Husband Start for San
Francisco A Lively Scrimmage But
the Two Escape Capture.

She was very pretty girl. So plump
that it was all the buttons of the dress
could do to keep In place, and she stood
beside the locomotive of the train which
was to leave the Arcade depot at 10 AS
on Wednesday night. She kept out OF
sight OF the people passing between the
train and the waiting rooms, but the en-
gineer and fireman saw her and admired
her as any rignt-minded man would.
Soon there was scurrying of feet and
sound of loud talk out by the baggage
room. Then a handsome middle-aged
lady and somewhat elderly man were
standing in front of a hack, while an
angry young man addressed the elder
one in strong terms. Soon blow was
given, and the two had wrestling
match and rough-and- setto in
which the results were about evenly di-
vided. The elderly man and the lady
at last went off and telephoned to police
headquarters, and two officers came
down just as the train was leaving, and
made hurried search through the cars,
but they did not find the young man
or the pretty young woman, though
they were on board and got safely off on
their way to San Francisco.
These are the facts as near as could
be gathered by HERALD reporter from
some railroad men who had witnessed
the affair.
The cause of it is not fully known.
The young man Is said to be Mr..
Spencer, and the young woman is as
serted to be his wife. The lady with
the elderly man is said to be Mrs.
| Spencer, the young mans mother, but
the identity of the other man is not
known. Mrs. Spencer is said not to
have approved OF her sons marriage,
and it is possible that the affair grew
out of her desire to prevent him
from leaving with the girl. A
reporter called ON her last evening
to get the facts in the case, but she was
not at home, and neighbor furnished
the information given above.
How the police could have prevented
the young mans departure is not known,
though by-standers say that the elderly
man at the beginning OF the affray said
| something about hundred dollars
which he claimed that young Spencer
had borrowed of him, and which he
wanted returned.

THE untrammeled Democracy OF San
Francisco is putting forth an effort to
purify the party OF bossism in the local
affairs of that city. The Examiner has
taken the stand that it will give its most
earnest support to the party in local
elections if the boss element is elimin-
ated from its dictation and control here
after. If not, it will favor citi-
zens' municipal ticket. This is very
commendable stand; but if the Exam
iner had taken that attitude long ago
the party might now be triumphant in
that city and perhaps in the state.
Buckley was the bette noir of the party
yet he was permitted to run it as a per-
sonal machine until Democrats them
selves turned upon it and aided in its
defeat. Buckley is now supposed to be
shelved politically. If that is the case,
the Democracy of San Francisco ought
to be able to keep him shelved.

and reform be the watchword OF the

A TRIP through the Elsinore country,
Perris, Alessandro, Redlands, and all
around, is we'll calculated to impress
one with the steady pace development
is keeping all over San Bernardino
county and adjoining portions Of San
Diego county. The intelligent develop
ment of water is doing wonders there,
and it may be said that veritable
boom is under way. A reporter of the
HERALD lately made trip through that
region, and he found much to interest
him. In Perris three brick buildings
tial and expensive character. In Ales-
sandro-a creation of the other day-the
whole townsite is dotted over with
the tents and cabins OF settlers.
These latter will soon be replaced
by attractive homes, on the plan of
Redlands and Riverside. A good be-
ginning has been made. We may add
that lands in Los Angeles county are
beginning to sympathize in this move
ment. Mr.. E. j. Baldwin's agents are
making out deeds for that gentleman's
fine acreage property in the San Gabriel
valley at about as rapid rate as the
clerical force will admit of. Take it for
all in all, this lower country is getting
ready to boom again. The HERALD's
standing proposition is that Southern
California is either booming, getting
over boom or getting ready for another
boom-the latter the category under
which we now group this section.

DR.. BARBER has communication in
our "letter bag" department absolving
himself from blame in the scandalous
management of the distribution of seats
in the Los Angeles theater on the oc-
casion of the graduating exercises of the
High school. He says that after reserv-
ing 25O seats in the body of the house,
$50 p tickets for seats were given to the
clerk for distribution at the office.
Mr.. Wyatt and Mr.. Conant both
say that they only received from him 72
tickets for seats on the lower floor, and
24i for the balcony. Now where did
the tickets for the rest of the house go
to? The house has 700 seats, so there
were 3S4 not accounted for. Who had
the distribution of these seats,
and how is it they never reached
the public who had right
to them? We think that DR.. Barber,
on the face of his letter, ought to trace
up the distribution of these seats, and
find out exactly where the blame be-
longs. But this is only an incident OF
the wretched management of the whole
affair. The first and fatal mistake was
in not securing the Pavilion, where all
who wanted to attend the graduating
exercises could have been accommodate
ed. He knew, the committee knew,
that the Los Angeles theater would not
begin to hold the crowd. Why attempt
to force ten gallons into quart meas
ure?

If BARDsLEY is to be believed, the
action of Examiner Drew, in reporting
the Keystone Philadelphia bank all
right when he ought to have known
that it was all wrong, is fully explained.
Drew was a debtor to the bank to the
extent OF nearly three thousand dollars,
and had received valuable presents and
tokens of appreciation from the presi-
dent and other high officers of the rotten
institution. To draw it soft, Drew drew
upon the bank for accommodations, and
it being to his interest to draw it
through its trouble, Drew, when he
drew up his report, drew it mild.

THE good offices which newspaper

manifested in a very striking way Of
late. In our own state 1t is only fair
that we should concede the great work
which was done by the Chronicles

Its first and most immediate effect was
the sale of $3.50, 900 worth OF the bonds

That it's influence will not be limited to
this single transaction cannot be
doubted. There are lesser lines in which
