In OTHER columns appears very in
teresting article showing the splendid
record of California trotters. AS a
record breaker the golden state is con-
spicuous success. OF thirty-two phe-
nomenal events in this line sixteen-or
fully one-half-are passed to the credit of
California, while the rest of the United
States takes the other half. This is a
high tribute to the effects of the Cali
fornia climate on the horse. 1t must be
borne in mind that in furnishing our un-
paralleled list of flyers we have not had
one stable where the eastern states have
had hundred, and we have only been
engaged in the business one year to their
ten. The horse, like man, is subject
to pneumonia and other diseases of the
lungs and heart. In California, horse
and man can be in the open air fully
three hundred and twenty days in the
year. In midwinter here, while the
human being is eating strawberries and
green peas grown in the open air, the
horse, disdainful of stable, may de-
pasture the lush alflerilla and burr
clover that cover valley and mesa. Our
record breaking experiences are just
beginning.

A o'clock in the afternoon. They
have not only comfortable but even
luxurious appointments. They are To-
Gated in the metropolis Of the nation,

hand, the poor postal clerk has to
traverse in many cases rough and
rugged country. As an incident of his
journeys, from any one OF which he may
never return. he is obliged to pay for
his own meals and any comforts he may

committee representing six thousand
postal clerks who desire an increase of
wages. 1t most surely ought to be ac-
corded. Justice and common sense
alike call for just and generous policy
toward these hard working and merl-
torious officials. In the English system
they not only receive liberal pay but a
pension after twenty years. service.
Senator Vest has been instrumental in
hanging this bill up. 1t is to be hoped
that that chivalrous gentleman will

cease his opposition to measure Of

A New YORK dispatch to the Exam-
iner says that the credit of postponing
the force bill ought to be assigned to
Senator John P. Jones, who arrived in
Washington only a few days before it
was taken up. Readers of the HERALD
will recall an interview had by repre-
sentative OF this paper with the Nevada
senator at Santa Monica, the day before
he left for Washington, in which he. de-
clared his unalterable opposition to the
elections bill, and to the whole policy OF
placing the ignorant black man above
the Caucasian. The same dispatch says
that Senator Hoar and his tribe will be
forced into the background in the lead
ership of the Republican party in few
years, and that Jones will come to the
front as the real leader of that organiza-
tion. Stranger things than that have
happened. During the administration
of Grant, Conkling and Jones were the
two most powerful men with the admin
istration, and the friendship between
the senators from Nevada and New
York was of the David and Jonathan
variety,

GOVERNOR WATERMAN will retire

GOVERNOR WATERMAN will retire to
private life with the proud conscious
ness that he has turned pretty nearly
all the murderers of California loose.
OF course the fine Italian hand OF Bo-
ruck is to be seen in all this promiscu-
GUS enfranchisement of the bond. To a
man up cottonwood tree it would
seem that there must have been some
suggestion of 'irascal counters" in all
this saturnalia of gubernatorial benevo-
lence. The Marquis OF Borax has an
expansive soul, and is fully alive to all
the inspirations OF sweet charity, but he
is also thought to be man not abso-
lutely Indifferent to the practical as
poets of life. When the professional
murderers who have been released from
the prisons of California begin on their
second or third or fourth crop of MUIR
ders, and when their red-handed vio-
ience has again crimsoned the criminal
calendars of the state, Governor Water
man can cherish the consolatory thought
that he is responsible for the blood that
will be spilled. The marquis may take
fractional portion of the responsible
ity, but the bulk OF it will lie with the
San Bernardino curio.

AS LELAND STANFORD will represent
California in the senate of the United
States for six years from the 4th of
March next if he lives and does not re-
sign, it is of some interest to know what
his views are on the leading issues of
the day. A dispatch to the Examiner,
dated at Washington on the 9th inst,
gives his position on the elections and
silver bills with unmstakable clearness,
as follows:
"Why did vote against the further
consideration of the federal elections
bill?" said Senator Stanford tonight, by
way Of preface to his reply to aquery OF
the Examiner correspondent. Because
l believed it stood in the way of the
consummatiOn of the most important
and necessary legislation, which the
country demands shall be enacted at
this session OF congress.
"Yes, am emphatically in favor of
taking up the silver bill right now, and
even if it cannot be passed it can at least
be made the leading issue in the coming
presidential campaign.
ITO my mind it is far more vital to-
the country than the elections bill.
II intended to do so in speech at the
time, giving my reasons for voting
against it at length. ~
s'It never could have been enforced.
1t would not tend to consolidate the
whites of the south, but would bring
misery upon the blacks, and would in
crease the hatred of the former for the
latter, and would kindle anew the dis
cords of the past.
do want silver legislation? BY all
means, and plenty of it.. 1t is said of
the Democracy that on the tariff it is
ruled by Birmingham and Sheffield. Yet
the Republican party is equally unpat-
riotic, for its financial policy is dictated
by the money kings of London. They
have fought silver tooth and nail, and
even now that the friends OF the metal
have a fair chance to enact law to pro-
vide for its unlimited coinage, it will
only be done in the face OF the most
bitter opposition"

THE fact that the rainfall has this
season been very light up to date has
created the apprehension in many quar-
tiers that this is to be an unusually dry
year. The facts do not sustain this
lugubrious expectation. The HERALD
has repeatedly said that the present
season remarkably resembles that
of 1S74-75, one of the best
ever known in Los Angeles. In
the later fall of 1874 there were several
rains that fell substantially to the vol
ume of those of this year, although they
did not come so opportunely as this
season. In that year Mr.. Dan Freeman
advertised sale of lots and plots in the
Centinela rancho. The rains, which
had set in auspiciously, were unseason-
ably delayed, and as a result the grass
and grain, which had made some head
way, languished, and the sale was post
poned. About the middle of January
the downpour began in earnest, and, if
our recollection serves us right, the last
drop fell on or about the 18th of Feb
ruary. The crops that y ear were never
better. Everything has favored the
farmer this season. He has been
able to plough all grades OF land,
bottom and mesa. There is mo indica-
ton that anything is suffering from lack
of precipitation. Even six inches OF rain
during the next three months would
give us bountiful crops. All the springs
and reservoirs in the mountains have
been filled to repletion by the down.
right floods OF the past six years. The
ground everywhere is saturated with
water. What this county now needs is
succession of normal years, in which
the rainfall will return to the moderate
standard of the past. With our splendid
facilities for irrigation and unlimited
bottom and moist lands this would
mean general prosperity.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-01-09

MOST people supposed that Major
General John M. Pope was as dead as
General Boum, the heavy weight of the
Duchess de Gerolstein's army. The gem
eral has kept quiet for SO long time
that few thought that the Bombastes
Furioso of the Federal army of the
peninsula was still in existence. He
bobs up again, however, in order to pat
ronize Grant, and to prove that he was
the creator and savior OF the great
Ulysses. 1t is fortunate for Pope's pro-
lixity that Grant is dead, or that SEN
tentious warrior might dissipate some
of the claims of the great defeated. Who
that read the chronicles of the war can
ever forget Pope and his magniloquent
declarations? He was going to do the
thing up brown and up to the handle.
There was to be no more foolishness
when he got hold. 1t was, "Headquar-
t.rs in the saddle. No bases of supply
or lines of retreat" When Pope pulled
himself together week later, and found
himself the worst licked man who ever
stood upon American soil, he began to
hunt around for victim. He found il
in the person of the gallant Fitzjohn
Porter, whom he accused OF betrayipg
him. 1t is worthy of remark that Grant
was one of the most earnest and ener-
getic of the men who declared that Fitz-
john Porter had been wronged. This
braggart Pope is now giving the country
the benefit of his romancing through
the Washington Tribune. If there shall
prove to be an ounce of truth to ton OF
Justification in his screeds, those who
know the man and his history will
be surprised. 1t is significant cir
cumstance that he has chosen very
late day in which to give his memoirs to
the public.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-01-09

THE people OF the United States will
await with great curiosity the result o
1 the struggle of John James ingalls, fol
reelection to the United States senate.
In considering Ingalls, one is reminded
OF the aphorism regarding Lord Bacon,
philosopher as "the wisest, greatest,
meanest of mankind" The sardonic
wit of Ingalls, has often afforded amuse-
ment to the public and encouragement
to thel more fanatical element of his
party. 1t is somewhat unfortunate for
the high pretensions to morality of the
people of Kansas that in most OF their
interesting contests for senator of the
United States rank effluvium of cor
ruption has been exhaled. Most read
ers of newspapers remember the Pome-
roy contest, in which legislator rose in
his place and produced the identical sum
of money with which it had been
sought to purchase his vote. In the
present contest one Turner, ambitious
of occupying seat in that august body,
has produced not coin but promises to
pay. The Farmers Alliance of Kansas
seems to have been caught in the per-
sons of some of its prominent officials.
These developments occur in the nick of
time for ingalls,. If anything can save
his official head these disclosures will.
1t is highly lamentable that great
movement should be discredited in its
very initial, in one of the states which
il has succeeded in carrying.

SUNDAY CLOSING AGAIN.
The Ordinance Attacked on Question
of ConstitutionalitY.

Judge Clark yesterday granted writ
of prohibition in the case OF the people
VS.. Robert Bell, for violation OF the Sun
day saloon closing ordinance. The writ
will come up for argument on January
10Th.
Attorney G. G. Stephens, who secured
the writ which stops the trial, in his ap-
piication, made the following points:
That when arraigned ne was refused a
jury trial; that Justice Owens was not
a properly qualified officer; that the act
providing for the establishment of police
judges states that cities under their ju-
risdiction must have a population of
from 80, 900 to 900 persons, and that
there has been no official returns show
ing that this city comes under that
class; that the ordinance S61, providing
for the closing of saloons, is unco astitu-
tional.

The prospects appear to be certain for
the passage of free coinage bill through

ure in the house but how will the bill
fare at the hands of Little Benny? The
need of such law is manifest when one
reads that the currency in the country,
by the last report OF the director of the
mint, only amounted to this:

States treasury .......... 8 647, ,056,354

banks hoard in their reserves $734, ,259,-
OS6. These two sums amount to 81 ,4SS.-
66S,S74, leaving in active circulation
only 1924, ,245, ,037. As the population is
65,O0O,0 900, this is only q little over $11
per capita for all the business of the
country. That is what makes prices of
products low, rates of interest high,

BUT THEY WILL NOT SEE 1T.

The estimated value of the cotton
crop in Arkansas in 1889 was $2S. 900,
900, says the Faulkner County Wheel.
Now suppose the Sub-Treasury plan
had been a law and all this cotton had
been stored, the government would
have issued 50 per cent. of this $28, 900,
900 or $22, 400, coo more, making in all
$50, 400, 600 to move the crop of Arkan
sas for the year 1889. Doesn't any
man with common sense know that the
farmers would have received better
prices for their cotton, paid their
merchants, doctors, lawyers, etc,
more money and all have been greatly
benefited?

THE DEBT WE OWE.

Competent persons who have
thoroughly investigated the matter,
agree that American citizens owe
aliens 81 600, 900 600. They also agree
that the annual interest is notices. than
Z per cent. Estimating our population
at Ga, 600, 600, the annual interest on
this debt is $40, 900, 600, or $12 per
capita, or over $50 for each voter. If
Washington Jefferson, Franklin and
their compatriots had agreed to pay
the English ~aristocracy One-half this
annual per capita tax, would there
have been any revolution? Common
sense furnishes the answer.
The demands made on us by England
in 1774 were small when compared
with this great sum, yet, by some
means, we have put ourselves in a far
worse position than were our fore
fathers. They rebelled and conquered,
but we have no alternative but legis-
lation. 1t is the duty Of our national
Legislators to protect US. What have
they done? They have sold us to for
elgn capitalists and we can't help our
selves. The passage of the national
banking act was the beginning of the
terrible business; what will be the end?
