MOUNTING UP STEADILY.

The progress of the settlement of Ales-
sandro is one OF the marvels OF region
wonderful in development. Our readers
can scarcely have failed to have taken
note of the great things that have fol-
lowed in the wake of the original Bear
valley reservoir. They have also been
advised OF the plans to increase the stor-
age of the Bear valley water, through a
supplemental reservoir, and one of the
offshoots of the newly energized devel-
opment of this really illimitable source
Of water supply is the new colony of
Alessandro. The land in this latest can
didate for popular favor is quite as good
as that from which Riverside was Gre
ated, and the water supply is fully as
ample. These lands were first placed on
the market at SIS an acre. As they were
absorbed they rose to $50, $S5, 500 and
$95 an acre. OF late the plots have been
sold in sections of two hundred and fifty
acres, no one person being permitted to
buy more than twenty acres, as the de-
sign is to encourage investment and
not speculation. The last subdivis-
ion of two hundred and fifty acres
was placed on the market the other
day, as will be seen by an advertise
ment published elsewhere, and the
price has been advanced to 500 an acre.
On the very morning OF the advanced
scale forty OF the two hundred and fifty
acres had been taken. OF course, we are
not writing avulgar, paid notice of real
estate scheme. We are simply calling
attention to a striking movement, which
is taking place in an adjoining county,
whose great success is founded on an en-
ergetic and sagacious development of
water and specially favorable sun and
soil. When this land was first placed
upon the market the HERALD advised
those who had loose money to invest to
60 intoi it. IN the three or four months
since the announcement of the plan OF
Alessandro the price Of these lands has
gone up from $75 to 500 per acre. By
the middle of April we have no doubt
but that they will command $3.50 an
acre. We will go further, and avow our
unhesitating belief that, in five years,
considering their water right, and the
inevitable settlement and improvement,
they will rate at $500 an acre, and up
wards.

on honest principles? If 105, $40 voters
can be overslaughed by 7S, IA there
must be glaring violation of the law Of
representation such as cannot be shown
in any southern state. We would like
to know where Senators Platt and Haw-
ley would be if the majority ruled in
Connecticut.
Rhode Island is another Democratic
state which through its political ma
chinery keeps two Republicans in the
senate. Up to this year New York, a
Democratic state, has had two Republic
ans in the United States senate for
twenty years. There was a single ex-
ception to the rule in the case
OF Francis Herman, who was elect
ed for one term. Chandler has
just stolen a senatorial seat for his
party in New Hampshire. Last year
two seats were unblushingly seized by
the Republican party from the new
state OF Montana. The cattle ranges of
Wyoming and Idaho were turned into
states so as to increase the Republicans
in the senate by four. In Idaho, where
the Mormons are Democrats, its state
hood was recognized with the constitu-
tional inhibition of the Mormon vote.
Wyoming was admitted with the right of
woman to vote because the Mormons
there are Republicans.
1t is in order to ask whether party
that has a record like the above is fit to
| be entrusted with the mission OF carry
ing out pure ballot in the south OF
anywhere else. 1t makes no difference
to such party what wrongs may be
committed against the freedom OF the
ballot providing those wrongs inure to
the benefit of the Republican party. A
Mormon vote in Idaho must be refused
OH religious grounds; but Mormon
vote in Wyoming IS accepted On political
grounds.
We shall soon have chance to see
what sense of justice governs the Re-
publican party in this state. We have al
ready discussed the shoe-string congress
sional apportionment bill, a measure
which is designed without regard to any
honest rule of districting. But when it
comes to re-arranging and re-subdivid-
ing the senatorial and assembly dis
tricts, we shall doubtless see gerry
mander that will be spectacle for gods
and men to marvel at.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-02-07

Los ANGELES for the first time in her
history has scored triumph through an
action in the courts. Mr.. L. B. Cohn
has finally made up his mind to step up
to the captains Office and settle. He
made proposition to the board of SUI
pervisors yesterday to pay the judgment
secured against him on the Edelman
warrants, amounting to $2,377.20, on
condition that the board would remit the
penalty of $500, which it did, and the
county treasury is so much ahead. 1t
almost takes ones breath away to realize
that for once the taxpayer has landed
squarely ON his feet. We almost feel
like saluting Cohn as a public-spirited
citizen. Just think of the great trouble
to which he could have put the county
by cantankerous appeals, with the ex.
treme probability that the supreme
court,on encountering sensible verdict
would set it aside! In the light of oul
former experiences Cohn looms up almost
like public benefactor.

THE county divisionists are not meeting
with the success they at first anticipated.
The first positive setback they received
was in the report of the senate commit
tee on counties and county boundaries,
who sent in majority report against
the Pomona measure. Now comes the
report of the assembly committee which
is also adverse to the passage of that
measure. General Mathews sends us the
following dispatch:
SACRAMENTO, Feb 6, 1891.
The assembly committee on counties and
county boundaries unanimously report that the
bill for creating the counties of Pomona and
Riverside do not pass: and that those for Great
ing the counties of Glenn and San Jacinto do
pass. JOHN r.. MATHEWS.
This is yet more severe blow to the
creation OF Pomona county than that of
the senate, because the assembly COM
mittee make unanimous report against
division, whereas the senate committee
stood to 8. 1t would seem. that some
compromise had been effected in the
assembly by which Pomona and River
side were laid aside for Glenn and San
Jacinto. If that is the case, and this
committees report reflects the general
feeling in the assembly on the subject,
the Pomona bill is dead. We shall now
entertain the hope that the disturbing
county division questions will soon be
disposed Of, and that the members will
be allowed to pass some needed legisla-
ton.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY Z. 1891.
GENERAL PALMER AND THE FARMERS
ALLIANCE.

The misadventures which occur so
frequently in American politics are
strikingly illustrated in the case of Gen.
John NJ. Palmer, OF Illinois. The result
in that state was substantial Demo-
cratic triumph, as shown in the con-
gressional elections. At the inception
OF the campaign the Democratic state
convention put forward Gen. Palmer as
their candidate for United States sena-
tor, and it was the general idea that if
the Republicans were beaten in one Of
their favorite strongholds, Gen. Palmer
would be the next United States sena-
tor. He made the campaign in magni-
ficent style, recalling the vigor of the
Douglas and Lincoln canvass Of 1858.
Yet, owing to the capricious distribution
of the legislative districts, the Demo-
Gratis failed to return the number of leg
islators that their vote would have en-
titled them to in an equitable arrange
ment of the districts. Certainly, when
the people of Illinois elected an over
whelming majority of Democrats to the
national house of representatives, they
intended to be represented in the senate
of the United States by Democrat in
the person OF Palmer. The mem
bers OF the Farmers Alliance
elected to the Illinois legislature
should have respected this popu-
lar sentiment, but they failed to do SO.
The case is altogether different from the
situation presented by Kansas, where
the Farmers Alliance elected majority
of the legislature, and rightfully and in
evitably chose member of their own
organization. The asserted willingness
of the Alliance to coalesce with the
Republicans in Illinois in the choice of
asenator will be direct reputation OF
the popular sentiment, and will do
much to discredit that organization in
-Illinoie. Con. Palmer has every per-
sonal characteristic and record which
ought to secure him the support of the
Farmers Alliance members of the legis-
lature. If they shall defeat the evident
choice of the people they will undoubt-
edly do much to ALLEVIATE from their
movement the support of large ele-
ment that is drawn towards them by
beliefin their integrity and patriotism.
If they should contribute to the election
of Republican United States senator
from Illinois it would be the most pitt
full exhibition of blank Bourbonism
known to our later political annals, if we
except the Hoar-Lodge force bill, which
fortunately failed to be crystalized into
law.

OF the party to lead the nation. Il has
proved this incompetence to the party
itself, which now stands itresolute and
trembling, afraid to pass financial bill,
and afraid to refuse to pass such bill.
1t thinks it can straddle this question
and be on both sides Of the fence. This
is suicidal attitude to take, and will
not succeed in holding the confidence Of
the people. So pronounced is this pol
icy. or rather lack Of policy, that Bland

THE indications are very encouraging
that gas will be struck in the we'll being
sunk back of Baker block. The well is now
down about eight hundred feet, and gas
forces itself up through the water to the
surface, spreading quite strong gaseous
odor. Ii the quest for gas should be sue
cessful in this well, it will open to our
people another source OF wealth, the
value of which cannot be eover-estimated.
Wells will be sunk in various parts Of
the city, and should supply be devel-
oped commensurate with the uses we
could put it to, the fuel question will be
solved, and a wide range of manufac-
tories will follow on the discovery.

THE fact that little Benny has offered
the secretaryship OF the treasury to
Chauncey NJ. Depew shows pretty clearly
in what line the presidential pigmy's
sympathies run on the silver question.
This action indicates that the people are
to be betrayed, as usual, and Wall street
is to dictate the policy of the national
treasury. For the time being this is
lamentable, but it will result, in the
near future. in an anti Republican
majority in the senate, made up of
Democrats and Farmers Alliance men,
as pronounced as the Democratic major
ity in the next house of representatives.

THE PURITY-oF-THE-BAL PARTY

The federal elections bill has been
happily shelved by the aid OF several
liberal-minded Republicans in the SEN
ate. This pernicious measure was urged
by the Republicans on the ground
that there was not free ballot in the
south, and that therefore the representa-
ton in congress OF that section was great
ly out of proportion to the votes cast.
1t is needless to say that under the con-
stitution representation is not based up
on the number OF votes cast, but upon
population.
The effort now being made by the
machine Republicans at Sacramento to
80 gerrymander the congressional dis
tricts that all but one-perhaps two-of
the members elected shall be of their
party, is of a piece with the federal
elections bill. 1t seeks to accomplish
by partisan apportionment of the
state what that measure was designed
to effect in the south. The elections
bill would have placed all the election
machinery in the hands of Republicans
and thus have insured the return of Re-
publican congressman whether the
Democrats were in the majority or not.
The cry was for pure ballot. But
what would avail a pure ballot if it
could be made impure by those VINO
would be placed by the elections law in
power to declare the returns?
We need not 60 to the south to find
states where the majority does not rule.
Platt has just been reelected to the sem
ate from Connecticut, notwithstanding
that state has year after year cast a
Democratic majority. Platt and his
colleague, Hawley, were both strong ad-
vocates of the federal elections bill, and
did not blush to urge that measure on
the ground that the majority did not
rule in certain southern states. Yet the
facts in their own state show the most
glaring instances of violation of this rule
that could possibly be presented. The
Democratic members of the present leg
islature of Connecticut represent 1876, $40
voters against 73, l34 represented by the
Republican members. Notwithstand-
ing the preponderance of Demo-
cratic votes in the state the Re-
publican members of the legislature
have a majority in the lower branch
and on joint ballot. Can there be any
explanation OF this outrageous paradox

of vigorous aggression in carrying out
