WHEN it was due for Gladstone to
call on the Queen and report his selec-
ton of new ministry for the British
Empire, a certain class of newspapers
loudly predicted q wholesale snub for the
Grand Old Man. They were never worse
mistaken, for the Queen never loses
sight of her claim to the name OF First
Lady OF the Universe; and so far from
being rude to the man from Hawarden,
she never received him more cordially
in all the long years she has known him.
There is no i'll feeling between him and
his sovereign, for she knows well
enough that he has stood between the
radicals and the royal subsidies on occa-
sions without number. The Queen is 8
shrewd and smart woman, and knows
very we'll that any denomination ol
hauteur towards Gladstone could result
disastrously to none but the royal
family. In bowling to the inevitable, as
she unquestionably has done, she has
made the future much easier road fol
her idolized son, the Prince of Wales.

A $4,000 SALE.

The Result of Classified Advertising
In the Herald.
1t is not often the HERALD starts in
to blow about the advantages that mer-
chants and others obtain from investing
small amount for advertisement in it's
columns. In fact thousands of untold
trades and sales have been made
through the medium of it's classified
advertisements. The latest and largest
deal secured through the widespread
circulation of the HERALD has just been
reported to this Office. Ward Bros, the
well known real estate owners and op-
orators Of this city had a piece of pro-
perty with substantial brick building
on it for sale. For several months they
advertised it for sale in the Times and in
a small evening publication, the bill for
which amounted to something like
500. Not meeting with any success
in these journals they concluded to place
the advertisement for the sale of the
property in the classified advertisement
columns of the HERALD at cost of five
cents line, mere bagatelle. In less
than five days they received number
OF inquiries and within ten days they
had disposed of the property to Messrs
Pironi & Slatri the wine merchants in
the Baker block for $4,000. The pro-
perty and building is located at West
Glendale. The above facts will cheer
fully be substantiated by either Meesrs
Pironi & Slatri or Ward Bros. A word
to the wise is sufficient. Ii you have
any thing to sell and want the purchas.

Goldfish. The right to make treaties
with foreign powers is one that "the
mother country" has always reserved to
herself. Last year Newfoundland sent
envoys to Washington and made a sort
of preliminary agreement with the
United States which was a "hunch'' at
reciprocity. Canada made vigorous
"kick" on the ground that it was injur-
ing her fisheries and the home govern
ment declined to ratify the protocol.
Now comes the revenge. Newfoundland
refuses to let Canada dig bait for her
fishing amacks and while Canada found
the imperial negative very convenient
last year, now she wants to make some
treaties for herself. There are states
men at Ottawa who really believe that
Canada should have an Independent
treaty making power. and one of them,
Hon David Mills, moves resolution in
the house that Canada should have the
right to make her own commercial
treaties.

TIE PITCHER GOING TO rHR WELL.

just so long as the two San Francisco
groggery apostlea-Martin Kelly and
Daniel Crimmins-content themselves
with controlling the ward politics of
that city, which, the Oakland newspa
pers assert, has been located on the
wrong side of the bay, well and good.
The HERALD has no desire to interfere
with them or their calling (although it
believes that calling to be disreputa-
BILE one). SO long as they confne them
selves to the city where they reside. If
San Francisco gets tired OF boss rule, un-
der their administration of primary
elections and county conventions, the
metropolis is strong enough to suggest
its own remedy and to work out its own
salvation.
But when these individuals get beyond
their bailiwick and come out into 'the
COW counties" to put up primary cleo
tion jobs and get men nominated for the
legislature, whose votes they can offer
for sale on every moneyed proposition
that comes up before either house, they
are going little too far. Their emissary
was in this city day or two ago, in the
interest of his employers and their low
down traffic; and, in the course of his
preliminary skirmish about this city,
met with several decent Republicans
who expressed themselves very plainly
concerning the methods of Crimmins and
Kelly. If those gentlemen know where
they are well off, they will stick to their
own county and let Los Angeles alone.
We tell them, right here and now,
that it is not the Democrats they have
| to fear, SO much as the sober, reflective
and decent element in their own party.
Thirty-ive years ago the. Republican
party used to denounce David @. Brod-
erick for utilizing the fire department in
politics. Now that the Republican par
| ty holds its sway through the very agen-
cies which it condemned that illustri-
GUS senator for using, the late of Brod-
erick to whom, more than any other
twenty men, living or dead, California
is indebted for the fact that she entered
| the union q free state-seems all the
harsher and more cruel to be borne.
There is in every party great and
manly element of conservatism that will
not submit to the crack of the party
lash; that regards defeat preferable to
such victory as can only be won under
the management OF indecent and disrep-
utable leaders; and that prefers man
hood without Office, to office without
manhood. Messrs. Crimmins and Kelly
should stand in wholesome dread of this
element. Their pitcher may 60 to the
well just once too often.

THE mob-law demonstration at Santa
Ana and the one at Red Bluff, a month
ago, had a common origin-the lack Of
popular confidence in the courts and
their duly elected officers. The truth
is that, in this age of new ideas, the
courts are composed OF judges who can
not forget that they have been lawyers
Themselves; and having, at some time
or other in their lives, earned theil
daily bread by the defence of criminals.
they lean to the side of defending attor.
neys, and, through false and spurious
esprit de corps, grant all sorts of dila-
tory pleas and filibustering motions that
have been made to delay and thwart the
ends of justice. And this evil is certain
to continue. We have either got to SUBJ
NIT to it or else begin a very dubious
species of reform by electing judges
from q class of men who never have
practiced law. "'Tis better to bear the
ills we have" etc.

For many years the county of Jeffer-
son, in Washington territory, was true
to her name and gave large Democratic
majorities. But with the boom of 1888
there came horde Of Republican Office
seekers from Dakota and Minnesota
into that region, and carried old Jeffer-
son for the Republican ticket. Up to
the time of that election Jefferson coun-
ty warrants were worth from So to SO
cents on the dollar. Now there has been
an over-issue of warrants to the extent
of $lOO, 900, and the banks will not ad-
vance any money on them whatever. 1t
begins to look as if Jefferson county
would again be Democratic after the No
vember election. There is talk of prose-
cutting the county commissioners.

THE NATIONAL BUNCo GAME.

The tariff has robbed thirty millions
of people to enrich less than twenty
thousand, just about all it possibly can.
Extortion has got to its outer limits.
and, fearing that recession of the tidal
wave is not far off, the pigs that have
fattened off the primary producing
classes in the past twenty years are now
reducing wages of their employees and.
crying "etand from under"
Had it not been for the passage of the
Mckinley bill, seventy of the one hun
dred and two trusts now in existence.
would not have been organized up to
today. Of the trusts which are so en-
riched by the tariff as to be able to shut
off competition from abroad, and dis
courage importation altogether, twenty
five have clear ewing at the American
market without fear of foreign competi-
ton. The most infamous Of these iB
the plate-glass trust, which is protected
by tax of 100 per cent, and forces
every man who erects frst-class bus
iness block, to contribute to its wealth
just twice what he should be asked to do.
Umbrellas and burial caskets are
taxed just 45 per cent, so that men find
it expensive to keep dry while they live
or to be buried when they die. The
sponge trust is protected at the rate of
20 per cent, which is supposed to be a
benefit to the class that never pays for
their whisky and cigars. The trunk
trust is protected at the rate of 35 per
cent, which is very hard on the ele-
plants who come here to "grow up with
the country" and bring their trunks
with them.
Then there is the teasel trust, protected
at the rate of 80 per cent. Now who of
US that ever saw The School for Scandal
would have believed that an elegant
old gentleman like Sir Peter would have
allowed himself to be subsidized in this
manner? Then there is the coal trust,
which leads us to believe that Old King
Cole was not above making few weeks
board in this way. Then there is the
celluloid trust, which brings that sub
stance nearly up to the price of ivory
and prevents the elephants from getting
new sets of tusks when their old ones
wear out.
Take it for all in all, it is what our
Hebrew brethren on Main street would
cali "a geschwindle, of the very worst
sort. The word tariff originated from a
tax levied by the Moors Of Tarifa, who
were pirates, but in the stealing art
those unbleached conquerors of Granada
were 'not in it" with our pro-
tected American manufacturers. The
bunco game is just about on
its last legs, however, and
the country will see, before the next six
years are over, tariff levied for barely
enough to cover the working expenses Of
the government. 1t will not then be
necessary to legislate toward suppress
sion of the trusts. They will perish
from atrophy whenever that day comes,
and the dawn of that day is not far off.

THEATRICAL MATTERS.

A popularity of "Alabama," which
will commence an engagement this
evening at the opera house, is that Of
all its events transpiring out of doors.
The most conspicuous scenic feature OF
the changing light effects of May day
and night in a semi-tropical country is
the ruined stone gateway of Col. Pres
toms door-yard. Here one of the last
attempts was made to repulse Sher-
mans March to the Sea. A cannon was
planted behind the masonry of the gate,
but the federal artillery soon silenced ii
and reduced the strong posts to ruins.
Among the ruins the cannon still lies,
covered with creeping vines, and in its
mouth meadow lark has built its nest.

James Dustin have had eulkies of forty
six to forty-eight pounds weight, made

COLORADO, SO often mentioned as the
centennial state, on account of its ad-
miseion into the union in 1876, now bids
fair to break away from both the old
parties and enroll itself under the ban
ner of the Peoples party. Everything
now portends victory for that party in
Colorado and if its nominees can carry
Montana, that will throw the election
into the house of representatives and
elect Mr.. Cleveland.
