A CONTRAST WITH A MORAL.

There is absolutely something comic
in the interminable rumors of wars that
now pervade Europe. No sooner is
there an announcement of p rapproche-
nent between France and Russia, send
ing CONSERVATION into the Dreibund,
than the czar of all the Russias gets him.
selfinterviewed and declares that the OBJ
iect that lies nearest his heart is peace.
For the moment the French alliance is
dwaried. Then Europe settles for
twenty-four hours into condition of
beatifc repose. This, in turn, is dis
turbed by the mission OF De Giers to
Paris. 1t is emphatically case OF in
ternational thimblerig, in which now
you see it and now you don't. You
pays your money and you takes your
choice. There is one thing, however,
which the dullest creature alive can
scarcely fail to see, and that is how in
comparably superior the condition of
the people of the United States is to
that of all European peoples. Here we
have no standing armies, devouring the
substance of the masses and contibut-
ing to no good result. Every
man in the broad United States
is allowed to come and 60 at his pleas
ure. A careful computation OF the
standing armies of Europe on pea ce
footing shows that there are three mil
lions of men under arms in France,
Italy, Germany, Austria and Russia.
This enormous total represents men alb
solutely withdrawn from all forms OF
productive industry. They are simply
dynastic menace OF the peace of ma
tions, and vampire-like drain on the
resources of the old world. What a
contrast in the United States? Here
every one is at liberty to devote himself
to the securing OF the life, liberty and
happiness which are guaranteed to him
by the declaration OF independence and
the constitution of the United States.
There is nobody to make any one afraid.
At no time is he confronted by an inso-
lent and unsparing conscription. which
tears the European from the bosom OF
his family, and throws him into an
aceldama of international wranglings.
Turn where he may, the citizen of the
United States cannot fail to felicitate
himself not only on his immunities but
upon his positive advantages.

THE Examiner has lately, in its Sun
day editions, introduced the feature of
publishing letters from distinguished
men on interesting popular topics. It's
last notable contribution in that line
embodies what Leland Stanford knows
about the trotting horse. The paper is
readable and clever, and quite instruc-
tive. Ii there is one thing in which
Senator Stanford is qualified to instruct
it is in the development OF that noble
animal, the trotting horse. There are
some people who think his knowledge
extends to many other matters, and
amongst these is the San Francisco
grand jury, who are very anxious tc
hear from him ON q number OF subjects

IT is really sometimes astonishing
the amount of news that correspondents
who are on the qui vive can pick up. 1t
makes no difference what the facts are,
the intelligent correspondent booms the
matter for space, which is the criterion
from which he receives his pay. Wit
ness the following dispatch to the Ex-
aminer, from Denver, under date OF the
21st inst: 4,a.
The war against the Union Pacific by
competing lines, with the Santa Fe at
the head, seems ready to open. General
Superintendent Nickerson OF the Santa
Fe and General Manager Wade of the
! California Southern arrived Thursday
morning. and after meeting with other
Santa Fe officials already here, Presi-
dent Jeffery of the Rio Grande and
General Manager Collbran of the Mid
land also being present, they left at
1890.
The differences between the companies
have widened since the Union Pacific
withdrew from the Leadville pool and
appointed its special agent. Now the
affected roads are uniting to make de-
termined fight against the governments
protege. The putting on OF an extra
passenger train on the Midland is said
to be one of the steps taken to strengthen
the roads in making this promised war.
When the Nellie Bly, flyer pulled out
ON the Santa Fe today there were three
private cars ttached-President Man
vel's, General Superintendent Nicker-
sons and General Manager Wade's.
The entire party will reach Chicago
early next week and hold another con-
ference, at which time the final arrange
ments for the fight will be completed.
General Manager Collbran OF the Mid
land is booked for trip to Chicago next
week, and his arrival there will be in
time to meet with the other officials
who are in the fight. The arrival OF
General Traffic Manager Mellen OF the
Union Pacific is supposed to be ON ac-
count of this threatened trouble.
According to this veracious CORE
spondent the whole party will reach
Chicago next week. As matter of
fact, General Manager K. H. Wade and
his special car arrived in Los. Angeles
yesterday. When seen by HERALD
reporter General Manager Wade said
that the great railway war SO preten-
tiously outlined was mere dispute
over local questions, which would
doubtless soon be satisfactorily settled.
So much for the prolific imagination of
the Denver telegraphic correspondent.

THE American girl is always ON top.
We have last heard from her in Chile.
She was an eyewitness OF the battles of
Vina del Mar and Placilla, and she has
managed to get into the Associated Press
in capital style. The scenes of slaughter
she describes were up to the Homeric
standard of narrative. Now, whether
this winsome creature saw these things
or no is possibly open to question. 1t
may have been another case of ''imagi-
nation bodying forth the forms OF things
unseen" That American girl down in
Chile, however, has realistic knack of
story telling which is positively beyond
compare. The way she talks of the Con-
gressionalists cutting up the bodies of
Balmacedist generals into small pieces
sanguinary souvenirs, so to speak-is
calculated to make ones flesh creep.
But perhaps the American girl only
dreamed all this, and seeks to palm off
the hallucinations OF nightmare as sober,
waking realities.

ALL the comedy in this world is by
no means confined to the stage. There
has been great tug OF war between the
mayor and the council about paying the
bin OF George P. McLain for the Temple
street fill. The council approved the
bill and the mayor vetoed it. However,
there was great scene OF peace yester-
day. The council passed the measure
over the mayors veto. His honor had
anticipated such action, and he had
ready all the machinery for getting out
an injunction to prevent paying over
the money, should the council deter
mine to pass the claim over his veto.
As luck would have it, however, the
mayor was standing at the foot OF the
stairs when the solid five came down.
"When gentlemen meet compliments
pass which was the case in this in
stance. Finally, one OF the councilmen
said, "Mayor, we believe that technically
you are right" "All right" replied

lican national convention, after all.

the potency of Michael H. De Young,
WHO lately was astride of the continent,
like very Colossus OF Rhodes, extended
to continental exigencies? 1t is only
the other day that Mike strobe into
Washington with naughty mein, and
transfxed the attention of whole con-
tinent by his W arlike and awe-inspiring
posturizings. Verify, Michael, thou
hast proven even broken reed unto thy
Republican brethren, who so fondly

THERE is q very pessimistic saying to
the effect that misery loves company
While we may, in the interest of an
elevated view of human nature, discard
this view, there is no doubt OF the fact
that the blizzard which yesterday swept
over great portions Of the east, with
Washington City as the center, will leave
multitudes of eastern people devoutly
wishing that they were out of their eli
matte misery, with their lots cast in with
the people of Southern California. And
it would be strange, indeed, if this were
not 80. There they have the frost-in-
crusted trees hurtling down about their
heads. while here we have the already
ripening oranges hanging from the
boughs. Verify, this is distinction
with difference
Los Angeles herald., 1891-11-24

Now THAT the Republican party has
shown the bad taste to prefer Minneap-
oils to San Francisco as the meeting
place for the Republican national con-
vention, it is high time that our Demo-
cratic representatives should bestir
themselves. Mr.. Tarpey and his coad-
tutors very nearly succeeded in getting
the national Democratic convention OF
1888 held in San Francisco. Having al
most won the point then there is no
earthly reason why, with proper energy,
we shonld not secure it now. A long
pull, strong pull and pull altogether
will do the work.

THE indianapolis Sentinel says that an
interesting feature in connection with
the Farmers Alliance conven ton,
which met in that city last week, was
the exhibit made by g. F. Cole, the as
sistant OF Maj. B. G, Truman, manager
of the Southern California permanen t
exhibit in Chicago. The exhibit was a
very choice one OF the products OF the
four southern counties, and attacte
great deal of attention from the farm
ers of the east. Mr.. Cole, under the
tuition of Major Truman, has acquired
the knack of placing himself on good
terms with the newspapers, as is shown
by the liberal mention Of Southern
California and it's products he has Sc
cured in the Indianapolis journals.

Little Personal Opinions Gathered Up
YESTERDAY.

| Little personal opinions Gatnered Up
Yesterday.
Ex. x.Chief of Police Burns-It surprises
me to find so much business being done
and so little said about it. We are
really having boom now, and no one
seems to know it. There never has been
SO many people in the city as at present.
Mark G. Jones-The next boom in
Southern California will be an oil boom.
There is more interest being shown in
oil lands than any other kind. People
Why the towns chock full. It's seldom
that the st. Elmo has vacant room.
Charles Schoelkoff, tonsorial artist
Many people will be sorry to learn that
the dapper little Joe Mullo, better
known as Frenchy, who formerly with
such eclat made the ladies' hair curl on
Sixth street, has gone to San Francisco
to stay.
Oscar Nader, mechanical draughts-
mani have just arrived here, and in
tend to introduce an invention OF mine.
1t is new kind of axle, which will en-
able horse to pull two tons on the
same wagon with greater ease than it
now pulls one.
A New Yorker-Do you know what
most reminds me OF my city? The
viaduct. Whenever 1 feel homesick l
take the cable, and when we cross the
viaduct, close my eyes and imagine my
self riding on the elevated road. Your
cars do not so nearly so fast. but i'm
agination can make up for that.
Major Toler--I took trip down to
my ranch on Thursday for my health !,
and after staying all night and break
fasting on plover, found it and came
back. Where is it? Near Whittier.
Harry Patton, boomer and editor Of
Banning-The Banning Indians will
soon be the richest community of
Southern California. They are about to
have their land divided in severalty,
and each man, woman, child and baby
will get almost $500 worth of the best
fruit land in the world. What am l
doing in Los Angeles? Why, / came
down by special invitation to meet a
committee interested in the coming Of
the Denver & Rio Grande Western rail-
road. They want to secure depot
grounds and right of way in Banning.
Money? Why, Pm making money too
fast. I am going to have new dress
next week, when will raise the salary
of my entire editorial and mechanical
force. I like to be able to pay good
salari

1T LOOKS as if the Cahuenga farmers
are going to have sugar-beet factory
on the cooperative plan. At the meet
ing held yesterday at the ranch OF
Hammel & Denker the 1000 acres needed
to guarantee the plant were nearly sub
scribed-so nearly so that, after the
meeting, the full acreage was made up,
There will be another meeting Monday
next, at which the cooperative plant will
undoubtedly materialize.

the Southern California railway, returned
yesterday from Denver, where he had
gone to confer with President Marvel,

the matters considered was the project
of rebuilding the Temecula canon branch
of the Southern California road to San
Diego. Plans were submitted for the

DrcTAToRs in South America do not
seem to be the fashionable fad of the
hour. Fonseca has resigned from the

few day will undoubtedly determine this
phase of the question.
