A TREMENDOUS VICTORY.

The heart OF every Democrat will
swell high this morning. Victory,
complete and overwhelming, sits upon
the banners of the lion-hearted De-
mocracy.
First comes the noble Empire state,
with splendid triumph. "From the
nettle danger we have plucked the
Flower safety" and handsomely at
that. The Democratic candidate will
be found to be elected by an old-fash-
ioned Tilden majority.
Iowa and Massachusetts, are both re-
liably Democratic, and both by sub
stantially the majorities of year ago.
Russell and Boies are again to the
front, with the verdict, swell done,
thou good and faithful servants"
New Jersey comes to the front with
it's old time loyalty, and there is little
doubt but that even Mississippi may be
counted in the Democratic ranks.
"The Dutch have taken Holland" In
other words, Ohio and Pennsylvania, the
two highly protected states, have gone
Republican. But McKinley's triumph is
such one as that which led Pyrrhus to
exclaim, "Another such victory and l
am undone."
OF course the Republican party must
be allowed a state or two to console it in
its decadence. The indications are that,
in the next presidential election, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Kansas and Vermont will
be all that will do it reverence.
Hurrah for the grand old Democratic
party! See our roosters on the front
page. Victerv is once again its presid-
ing genius.

PALO ALTO 2:O9h.
The Veteran Trotter Gets Within a Quar-
ter Second of the Record.

The Veteran Trotter Gets Within Quar-
ter Second of the Record.
STOCKTON, Nov. 3.-Palo Alto low
cred his record half second today,
trotting mile IN 2:091s, coming within
quarter of a second OF the worlds
stallion record held by Allerton. Palo
Alton was faster today than he has ever
shown on this track, and went away on
each scoring at great speed, giving
Marvin hard work to hold him. He
made two breaks or he would have
broken the record. He went to the
quarter post in thirty-two seconds; to
the halfin ;04, three-quarters in 1861
when he went off his feet, but caught
quickly, and came down the stretch at his
best speed, but went up again just be-
fore reaching the wire. Everybody in
the judges stand said he would have
equaled Allerton's time if he had not
been 80 full of ambition. That he will
do it yet nobody here doubts. Bell
Bird. the worlds fastest yearling, was
started by Marvin to beat her record Of
2 .26A, but she was not feeling WELL and
after break was logged around. Frou-
frou, a yearling, went against 2:3lI
and just equaled it. Cour de Alene, an
Oregon horse, to beat 2:25 made 2:2lL.
Montrose, 3.year-old, made 2:19. Guide
went in 2:1614. Cupid made 219.
Mount Vernon went in 2:l9%. The
next meeting will be held next Tuesday,
when Palo Alto, Bell Bird and Arion
will trot.

excellency was elected by the sutfrages
of the people OF this commonwealth?
Fourth-What was the contract price
mentioned in the original contract be-
tween the Los Angeles Furniture COM
pany and the county OF Los Angeles, Tor
the furnishing OF the county court
house?
Fifth--In what respects and to what
extent were the terms of this contract
departed from in furnishing said court
house, and what additions thereto were
made from time to time?
Sixth-What is the total amount OF
money received from the county by the
Los Angeles Furniture company, and
what does it claim is still due to it from
the county as the balance OF its claim
for said furnishing? Also. is the total
sum of money, received and to be re-
ceived for furnishing the county court
house, greater than the contract price
mentioned in the original written con-
tract between the county and the COM
pony; and if said total sum, received
and to be received, is greater than said
original contract price, how much
greater is it?
Seventh-When your paper states
that the Los Angeles Furniture COM
pany only made 10 per cent. upon its
contract with the county court house.,
does it mean that the company made
10 per cent. upon the original contract
price mentioned in the written contract
executed between the county and the
company, and which was let after re-
ceiving bids in the regular manner; or
are we to understand that the company
made 10 per cent. upon the total sum
which the company claims is due to it
for the whole job?-supposing, of course,
that in answer to the sixth interroga-
tory, supra, you shall state that the
total sum claimed as due upon the whole
job is greater than the original contract
price.
By answering the foregoing interroga-
tories fully and fairly, much time and
controversy may be saved and the pub
lie may then be enabled to have before
them the very meat and marrow of this
whole matter.

WE are very much afraid that we
shall be obliged to give further details
about the Whittier reform school scan
dal. There are certain circumstances s
about the action of certain legislative
committee, in respect to the title of the
Whittier lands, which the HERALD will
be obliged to ventilate. Possibly the
grand jury may relieve us from taking
the initiative. The attempts which are
being most diligently made to choke off
inquiry will probably fail. For the pres
ent, we yield to the official body. By
the time the taxpayers of Los Angeles
get on to the colossal frauds of which
they have been made the victims, they
will be red'eyed and memorable in their
quest for vengeance. Everything is
smooth until the rough edge of justice
is encountered. Fiat justitia." Prov
idence often shapes the careers of bood-
lers, rough hew them how they may.

THE Chronicle has been hammering
at the supreme court on account of its
dilatoriness in handing down its decis-
ion on the constitutionality of the act
appropriating 100000 to the worlds
fair. Perhaps the bench sees the diff
Guilty of overcoming the constitutional
inhibition, and is 10th to find that an
evasion even for a good purpose justi6es
the violation OF plain principle.
Courts do not like to countenance the
accomplishment of an unconstitutional
purpose oy indirection, even although
the end to be attained is popular and in
the line of good public policy in the
instance under consideration. The bar
rier once down, all sorts of Objectionable
things may crawl through it.

A GREAT THING FOR LOS ANGELES.

Ex-Mayor Workman has returned
from his trip east in the interest of the
Terminal railroad, of which he is one of
the chief directors. Mr.. Workman is
very enthusiastic about the outlook for
the road, and says there is no longer the
peradventure of doubt that the road
will be completed on the projected
Utah line to eastern connections. He
assures us that the means for the exten-
sion of the Terminal road are secured,
and that between the 2oth and 30th OF
this month number of eastern gentle
men in financial interest with it will
visit Los Angeles.
On his return from the east Mr..
Workman made a trip into southern
Utah and satisfied himself about the
character and extent of the coal meas
ures in that region. These fields will be
tapped by the new road, and coal will be
laid down in this city at the rate Of five
dollars per ton. The coal is of a very
superior gu ality, and the measures are
exhaustless. He entered into one min e
which is reached by a tunnel into the
noun tain, and the tunnel opened into a
chamber where teams could turn, and
which was walled, f1oored and rooted
with solid layers of coal of the finest
quality. These mines are now valueless
for the want toftransportation of and thepeo-
pie of the vicinage drive their teams to
them and get all the coal they can carry
away, for nothing.
We look upon the fact that the new
railroad enterprise will lay this coal
down cheaply in Los Angeles as one OF
the most, if not the most, important
benefits the Terminal company will con-
fer upon Los Angeles. 1t at once solves
the manufacturing problem, and opens
to our city the prospect of becoming one
of the most prosperous manufacturing
communities in the country. In con-
nection with the vast mining region it
will place practically at our door, thefact
that we shall also have cheap fuel will
make Los Angeles an Incompatible CEN
ter for smelling and reduction works.
But the benefits of the opening of the
new road will not stop here. 1t will pass
through country in which iron ore and
magnetic steel have been found in great
quantities. With cheap coal these will
form the basis of great iron and steel
furnaces, which will give employment
to thousands OF operatives.
No wonder that our ex-mayor is iubi-
liant and enthusiastic-that he sees in
the near future an impulse given to the
industry and prosperity of Los Angeles
that will soon force her forward to the
foremost place on the Pacific coast.
Is it not time that our people should
wake up to the great advantages which
this new road is to bring to our city
Heretofore we have merely given it
pleasant words. When its financial
hackers and representatives come here
in couple of weeks, we should be pre-
pared to treat them in way that will
show them that we are fully alive to the
stupendous Importance of the work they
are promoting.

In REPLY to Governor Campbell's loud
call for workingman whose wages had
been raised under the Mckinley bill,
William jackson came forward and de-
posed that before the Mckinley bill was
passed he got $l.25 day, and lost that
in strike. Since then he has got job
as Pinkerton detective at 500 week.

Campbell has admitted his error ought
to inspire all tariff protectionists with a

JUDGE Ross's elaborate opinion of
yesterday in effect winds up the Itata
case, against the government. The
HERALD has all along insisted that the
administration was acting against the
principles and traditions of American
liberty in its attitude towards the
Chilean insurgents, and now the United
States district court determines that it
was outraging the letter and the spirit
Of the law in it's course against the Itata.
Stupidity is no name for the absurd and
untenable position assumed by our gov
eminent in this deplorable affair.

HAS the governor of the state of Cali
fornia the right to be engaged in the
business of selling furniture to either the
state or the county of Los Angeles? That
is one phase of the question upon which
the people are now agitated. The answer
is that he has not-emphatically not, at
any price or under any circumstances.
No amount of caterwauling can change
this essential fact. 1t is the "Old Pard"
letter over again, with even more repul-
sive features. The people of Los An
geles and the HERALD are at one on this
proposition

more of such radicalism as that with
which the corporation plutocracy cursed

ton and worse servitude than that of
Russia-slavery to central despotism
controlled by corporations with neither

The table decorations were beautiful.
A large wedding bell hung over the GEN.

over the table as if it were pealing forth
songs of plenty, as the festal board sig-

The vacancy in the cabinet, caused
by the death Of William Window,
Secretary of the Treasury. will no
doubt be filed as soon az Wall street
decides upon his successor. There are
already many persons mentioned in
connection with that position, but il is
safe to assume that the money owners
and monopolists of the East will die
tate the selection. To have the choice
fall upon Western or Southern man
with progressive ideas upon financial
reforms, and as q consequence in sym
patty with the people, is an event tha.
need not be expected. The present
administration is in the hands Of plu-
tocracy, as was the one that preceded
it, and nothing that the people demand
viii be granted without q contest.

temples of Nikko, Japan, there are enor-

They are rung by means of battering
