RAILROAD TAX SUITS.

The District Attorneys Office Gets
Move On in Some Celebrated Cases.
The HERALD has recently referred to
the now celebrated railroad tax suits,
brought by the county Va. The Southern
Pacific company and the Southern Pa
cific Branch Railroad company, and
which have been pending in the supe-
rior court for many months past. These
cases were brought into public notice
yesterday, by visible move in the liti-
cation in Judge Wade's court, where
they have been slumbering.a
Judge Wade sustained the demurrer
of the district attorney to the answers
of the defendants, and also motion to
strike out certain parts of the answers.
These suits are to enforce the payment
of taxes upon the personal property of
board of equalizationin 1887, and which
thebtate controller has failed to collect,
by reason of decision of the supreme
court holding unconstitutional the law
providing for the collection by him.
The cases originally involved about
$2l, 900, but the county has sued for 2
per centsper month interest since the
taxes became delinquent, which, with
the percentage allowed by law, makes
the aggregate amount at present about
$37, 900. Deputy District Attorney York,
who has charge OF the suits, is of the
opinion that they ought to be at issue in
about month. The defendants were
allowed ten days in which to amend
their answers.

Faces in the Moon.

A fair resident of Norwood Park wa.
recently presented with an opera glass
and one evening when the moon was al
the full she took peep at it through
the glass s'just for fnn." She looked 4
moment. rubbed her eyes and looked
again.
"Why, how curious!' she exclaimed.
"There are two lovely faces in the moor
tonight"
Nonsense" said her companion. Blu.
she insisted she saw them, and after de.
scribing their location handed the glass
to her friend. She saw them at once
and was enthusiastic over their beauty.
The following night dozen glasses
were brought to bear by neighbors, who
had been told of the discovery, and the
whole village was soon singing the
praises of the celestial beauties.
The news was brought into the city
by one of the suburbanites, and an en-
tire neighborhood on the North Side sat
up late to see the beauties. Any one
with an ordinary opera glass may see
the faces. One is partially hidden by
the other, but both are very sweet.
"The professor" who is supposed to
be on speaking terms with all the celes-
tial celebrities, was asked what he
thought about the discovery. He said
he believed that the discovery was first
made good many years ago. but that
it attracted no attention in the scientific
world. But then the professor has no
sentiment in his soul and doesn't like
men.-Chicago Tribune.

No Straw Eats to De Had.

A gentleman desiring to buy q straw
nat Tor his son stepped into q large hat
stote down town the other day and as
certaned, much to his surprise, that
stfa's hats were actually scarce in the
market. He asked for a 67s hat, and
was informed that the firms supply of
that particular size of hats was COM
pletely exhausted. He sought another
hat store and received similar informa-
tion, and few hours later visit to
large up town store met with the same
result. The gentleman's curiosity was
aroused and he asked several questions.
He learned that the demand for straw
hats has been uDprecedentedly large
this season, and that the supply of GER
tain grades and sizes is almost exhausted.
The size of 6B is always in active de-
mand, and the supply has fallen short
this year.
"The stocks of straw hats are dwind-
ling rapidly in every quarter" explained
we'll known hat dealer, land we cannot
replenish this year, for the reason that
the factories have made up all of their
straw and shut down. Next season they
will probably increase their output, and
the craze for straw hats may give way
to something else. That is the way
things run in trade generally" The
scarcity of straw hats has caused sharp
advance in the prices of certain grades
OF straws.--New York Times,

LETTER BAG.
why We Arc Democrats.

Why We Are Democrats.
EDITOR HERALD: There is every con-
sideration of sound judgment that col
cred man should be a Democrat. That
the means OF force and fraud are en-
ployed to keep the negro in the Repnbli-
can ranks Is plain. These shameful
frauds are, notwithstanding, adduced to
excuse such practice. But the difficulty
is now solving itself, as well as 1t can be
solved, and the only thing needed is that
it be let alone. Every well-informed
man will admit that the pre- sjudice here
tofore existing between the negro and
his white brother Democrat arose mainly
from the fear of negro domination in the
south, and this fear was stimulated, in a
certain sense justified, by the unexam-
pied profigacy of most of the carpet-bag
governments during the reconetruc-
tion period. In 1866 4,500, 900
slaves we're set free, penniless and with
out clothes or shelter, and sent from
their friends into the enemies camp to
find protection. Now the Democrat who
once owned the slaves had to give them
home and shelter, and care for them.
Does this look % if the Democrats are
the negroes'eenemies? There are now
5000, 600 colored people in the United
States, and whenever one of them wan
ders in the north and applies for situ-
alton among the white Republicans,
every man leaves the shop and goes out
on strike because negro has been
employed. / will ask my Republican
friends is this friendship? At last this
cloud is lifted and the negro vote has
actually begun to divide. The ne
gro no longer votes by policy, but votes
according to the dictates of his own con-
science. No true friend of the colored
race would fail to hail this as most
auspicious event. For it will take a
burden of dread from the mind of every
negro. 1t will powerfully promote peace
and good will between the elements of
the southern population. No good
citizen who has the common inter
ests of the whole country north
and south at heart will fail joyfully to
hail it as the removal of source of irri-
tation between the two races, as new
bond of cordial feeling, as q new guar
antee of material progress of the whole
country.
I cannot say all this of my Republican
friends without feeling the profoundest
regret. As political being l grew
with that party. In its struggle
1 enjoyed the glorious sunshine OF
youthful enthusiasm, undisturbed by
doubt or misgiving. 1 know we'll con-
victions of duty are different, and lead
different men different ways; 1haye to
walk the ps.n that conviction leads me,
away from the grateful attachments
and cherished memories.

A Cheap Remedy for smallpox.

"rve cheap and safe remedy for
smallpox" said a medical man. "My
father was a physician before me and
he used it successfully. It's sure, too,
in cholera and yellow fever. Now
guess it, gentlemen. It's simple ar
ticle-one you've all used from child
hood No, you can't? Well, sirs, it's
salt--common, plain, everyday salt.
Salt, you know, preserves, prevents pu-
trefaction. The diseases we most fear,
according to eminent medical authori-
ties. are due to putrefaction in our sys-
tenn. Here's where the salt works like
charm. Now, don't smile, but try it.
If you take two teaspoonfuls of salt in a
glass of water, say three times day,
you'll not have to be vaccinated during
smallpox epidemic, Stunned during a
cholera scare or nursed during yellow
fever plague. Put little vinegar in
the glass to make the dose palatable and
keep it up a week or SO. Salt is pre-
server of life, gentlemen, and if you are
ever in position to test it's efficacy
you'll remember this conversation. -

FIGHT between Wolf and Eagle.

II once witnessed battle between an
eagle and big gray timber wolf," said
Lieutenant Charles E. Crittenden to q st.
Louis reporter the other day. "The wolf
had singled out a lamb for it's midday
meal, but just as he was preparing to
gather it,in an eagle swooped down upon
it.. Before the bird of freedom could rise
into the air with its burden the wolf at
tackled it viciously. For about minute
the air was full of feathers and hair, and
then the combatants separated and seized
each other. The wolf came to the scratch,
but regret to say that the emblem of this
great republic showed the white feather
Enthusiastically. Instead of coming up with
that never-say-die courage with which it
is accredited, it spread it's wings and flew
screaming away. do not believe that a bird
that thieving wolf can chase away from a
square meal is a fit emblem for the great
est nation on earth. would rather see

The First Electrical Mill Tramroad.

The Thomson-Houston company has
completed and put into operation the
first electric mill tramroad in Chicago,
at the works of the Northwestern Terra
Gotta company. The line is 1,7OO feet
long. including the loop. The overhead
conductor consists of two No. 2 B. & S.
gauge copper wires. AS the power is
supplied from an incandescent lighting
plant it was deemed advisable not to use
one wire and rail for return current, so
double trolley system was installed.
The line has six curves of less than forty
feet radius.
A loaded train can start from the
works and unload in the storage yard
and continue to the clay sheds for a re-
turn load for the works. The track is
three feet gauge, has 30-pound T rail
on pine ties, spaced two feet between
centers. The greatest grade is per
cent. The motor Car is equipped with
two 3-horsepower railroad motors, hung
on the axles. The motor has hauled ten

4. Gs HorOlu Cought In tho Act by the
Police.
About O'Clock last evening Officers
A. 0. Benson and j. r. Home arrested
T. g. Herold. while in the act of COM
mitting burglary. He entered the I. x.
l.. store. on First, near Los Angeles
street. but was caught before he could
get away with any plunder. He had
been seen ioafing in saloon next door,
and was suspected. He had evidently
laid his plans during the day. Back of
the saloon is an open court, and after
walking through the saloon, he crossed
over and opened the store window by
placing hatchet under the sash, prying
it upw ard, breaking the catch.
Herold had borrowed hatchet from
a fruit store, and went into the saloon,
and in conversation with a stranger sug-
gested the burglary. The stranger OBJ
jected, when, he states, Herold threat
ened to kill him with the Ratchet If he
told about it. Finally the stranger got
an opportunity and told Officer Home,
who advised him what to do. Officer
Benson was then called, and the two
officers trapped the burglar and took
him to the police station. Herold was
drunk, and was rather inclined to use
his little hatchet, but the nlppers were
put upon him. .
Herold had been a patient in the
county hospital, and was released yes
terday morning.

WHITTIER, Oct. IA large deleea-
tion left here some time ago for Bann-

pectations seem not to have been fully
realized, as they are fully satisfied tore
turn.
The academy has opened on it's second
year with bright prospects, and an en-
rollment of 81 pupils, which was as
many as the most sanguine had antici-
pated. They have since increased to
over 70. The building is we'll equipped
and the scholars are well provided with
facilities for outdoor sports, as lawn
tennis, baseball, foot ball, etc., with
prospects for gymnasium. The
faculty are as follows: w. v. Coffin,
M. D., principal; Professor Chawser,
assistant; Miss Alice Miller, preparatory
department; Miss Mary Tineblood, art
department; Miss Ella Stalker, music
department, and DIR. j. B. Cook serves
in the capacity of instructor in anatomy,
Besides these, Rev. Thomas Armstrong
acts as instructor in theology, Miss
Barnes teaches stenogrsphy, and Miss
Emma Hadley is to oversee the Delsarte
training. The academy is no longer an
experiment, but settled thing, with
prospects for college in the near future.
The Whittier, as the eight-page jour
nal published in the reform school is
called, issued it's first edition on the 14th
inst. No plate matter is used, and the
composing is done entirely by the in
