NomINArR A GOOD rICKEr.

The very superior character of the
personnel Of tcday's Democratic county
convention justifes us in predicting the
nomination of most excellent ticket.
If every delegate will keep it in mind
that the taxpayers are anxious for o
change of county officials, and know
that Republican rule. so long secure in
its power, has become so reckless and
extravagant as to have made the people
despair of reform under its continuance
in control of the county government,-if
the delegates will keep this fact in mind
and only nominate men beyond suspi-
cion, there ie little doubt that the ticket
they name Will be elected.
We have now the best chance we
have had in years to sweep the co unity.
We should be equal to the emergency.
No man of doubtful antecedents, or
without we'll defined record for fitness
and purity, should be placed on the
ticket. Personal importantly or friend
ship should have no influence upon del
egates as against unfit candidates. Let
the Office fit the man and character rule
in every selection. We shall make
vain fight unless we can give the voters
a ticket that will bear the closest criti-
cism. We want to offer the people
set of candidates who are above re-
proach, and to whom the people can
look with certainty for reform and sn
honest administration of the affairs OF
the county. Ii the convention will do
this, the people will stand behind it.
Republicans as we'll as Democrats are
disgusted with the way in which public
offices have been administered in this
county. They have seen that the ma
chinery of the dominant party has been
run by close corporation of unscrupu-
lous politicians; that public Office has lost
its character of public trust, and that
the spoils alone have bee j considered in
the selection of officials. If the Demo
cratic convention today will offer them
ticket which is an earnest of purer
and better county government, they
will vote for it with great unauimity.
1t would be difficult to devise worse
ticket than the Republican; but the
convention today ought to present such
material as would give the people a
bond of fate against loose and extrav-
agant government.
Let the platf, rm set forth in plain
rems the viciousness of Rspu blican
rule in this county, and pledge the con-
vention's candidates to reform abuses, to
administer public affairs with economy,
and then make every nominee distinctly
pledge himself to carry out its behests.

A GOOD CITIZEN CONE.

The death of Hon. E. F. Spence yes
terday was received by the people of
this city with a sincere feeling of regret.
He was one of the foremost men in all
movements for the advancement and
welfare Of Los Angeles. He enjoyed the
unbounded confidence OF this commun-
ity, both as fnancier and as public
official. When mayor of Los Angeles
he watched carefully over the interests
of the city, and initiated some of the
movements that had the greatest in
fuence upon its commercial growth
and prosperity.
He was one of the most genial of men
in his social relations, and had few
equals as raconteur. His fund of rem
iniscences of the early days of California
furnished inexhaustible topics of inter
estipg and instructive conversation, and
he abounded in native wit which was
rscy of the soil where he had his birth.
But few surpassed him in enlivening cal
lies at the festive board, and when he
was drawn out at congenial banquet,
he was eloquent of tongue and pointed
with the most mirth-provoking humor.
But it was as fnancier and a man of
business that he has left the most en-
during impressions on our community !;
and as philanthropist and public
benefactor he took place second to
none of our citizens. When, a few
years ago, he was about to pay visit
to Ireland, he marked his departure
with an act of public generosity which
will endear his name to science. He
placed a large amount of property in
trust, for the object of establishing an
astronomical observatory on Wilson's
Peak. 1t was his desire that one of the
most approved telescopes in the country
should be located at that conspicuous
point, and we believe that the firm of
Clark & Co., of Boston, is now engaged
in producing glass of the power he de-
signed.
Mr.. Spence served one or more terms
in the legislature during the early six.
ties, when he was resident of the
county Of Nevada. His legislative career
has always been spoken OF as very cred
liable. He was one OF the delegates
from this state to the Minneapolis con-
vention, and president of the California
delegation, Mr.. Harrison may thank
him more than any other man for the
way in which the delegation was firmly
held in his interest, Notwithstanding
the fact that the preponderance of per-
sonal feeling was strongly in favor of
Mr.. Blaine.
In private and public life, Mr.. Spence
was conspicuous exemplar of the good
citizen. The loss to his family is IRE.
parable, and the community of which he
was go shining member will miss his
able counsel and his strong support of
every movement inaugurated for the
public welfare.
May the light of his exemplary life
shine as beacon of emulation to our
youth, and may his rest be an eternal
summer of celestial peace.

Mr.. HuNTNGroN's arrival in Califor-
MIA has no political significance what
ever, but it means regular Polsfox
6ght-war to the knife. and knife to the
hilt--in the matter of overland freights.
The only retaliation he can get upon the
Great Northern and the Canadian lie to
cut passenger rates about 40 per cent.
As it is already freezing weather in Mon
tana and Manitoba, and pouring rain in
Oregon, the advantages of the southern
route, with cheap fares, will then be
easily discernible.

A Peck at "Peck's" Figures.

EDITORS HERALD--Our Republican
friends think they have found bonanza
in the labor statistics of New York,
while in truth they are milling ore
which will not pay cents on the ton.
President Harrison uses the fact that
the bureau of labor statistics for the
state of New York, under the super.
vision OF Democrat, reports an excess
of wages received in New York in the
year Immediately succeeding the pass
age of the Mckinley bill, as $6,377, ,975.
This excess of wages is ascribed to the
Mckinley bill. 1t is we'll that we have
census statistics for 1890 as late as those
of Mr.. Harrison.
The increase of population of New
York from 1880 to 1890 was ola, 1882, or
an annual increase of 81 ,498 of this
81 ,498, one-fourth or 22,874, received
wages of some sort.
AS large part of this increase of
population consisted of able bodied i'm
migrants, it is more reasonable to sup
pose the number of wage earners was as
much as 10000, which would give to
each additional wage Garner $3.50 per
apnum-$13.28 per month, or 45 cents
per day. If we accept 22,674 as the
added wage earners, their wages at 80
cents per day would make the Sc, ,377, 1916.
The fact, as claimed by President
Harrison, that the price of labor has
advanced ID Of l per cent, or 75 cents
on the 500, is not surprising, 1t should
have advanced 25 per cent, as the Nc
Kinley bill has added millions to the
manufacturer, thus enabling him to adj
vance wages.
Here labor gets "a of per cent, or 75
cents on the $100 worth, and the manu-
facturer, by investing his 500 in tin
plate makes $50 clear profit on his tin
plate.
Do, dear Mr.. Peck, give us few more
of your statistics: they are excellent
campaign material for the Democrats.

EVEN the pugs are getting into the di-
vorce business. Billy Madden, who was
at one time employed as "bouncer" at
one of the fashionable hotel bar-rooms
on Upper Broadway, is now being sued
for divorce by his wife, who mas
querades on the variety stage as
Blanche Siegriest. She was Maddened
by her marriage to the bellicose Billy
Cor Warlike William, if your prefer a
Bostonian way of putting it) and now
she is maddened worse than ever by the
fact that he has gone to Europe with
another woman, whose father rejoiced
in the Ccrsican cognomen of McGinnis.

The speech of Senator Hill, which ap
pears among our dispatches this morn
ing, will bring cold comfort to the
vituperative press that has persistently
lnsisted that he would "aulk in his
tent" this campaign. His address puts
forth no uncertain sounds as to his atti-
tude towards the national ticket. He
says he will do his utmost to make it
successful, and Senator Hill is man of
his word. The chiefs of Tammanv are
now all in the midst of the fight, and
New York may be counted upon as a
safe Democratic state.

IT will be interesting for our medical
men to watch the progress of the Asiatic
scourge in the Argentine republic. We
shall see whether the Buenos Ayrean
diet of jerked beef and bayo beans, is
as good cholera diet as the salt fish
and boiled rice Of 1849 in the New Eng
land states. The chief condiment of the
Hispano-American races is red pepper,
which is recognized specific against
the cholera in itself.

The Democratic county convention of
San Bernardino made an excellent nom-
nation for sheriff when it selected DR..
]. u. Booth OF Needles, for that position.
DIR. Booth is gentleman of sterling
worth and win bring great strength to
the ticket. The Republican senatorial
convention of the same county named
ex-Sheriff Seymour yesterday, and to
the astonishment of everybody the
name of the irrepressible Scipio Craig
was left in "innocuous desuetude."
Why was this thus?

IF II was Commissioner Peck's inten-
tion to cast complete dscredit on his
wage figures, by throwing the docu-
ments upon which he claims they were
based into the fire, he could not have
adopted ii more convincing expedient OF
the falsity of his report. 1t is perhaps
unfortunate for Peck that there is law
on the statute books of New York which
makes the destruction of official docu-
ments penal offense, and whilst he was
in the frying pan of adverse criticism
before, this act has got himself, as well
as his documents, into the fire.

party" But the question arises, why
should a party policy, that has been
fully endorsed by the Republican plat
form, be eliminated from the discussions
of the campaign? Surely a measure
which is designed to perpetuate the con-
troll of the government in a single party
ought to be discussed, and ought to
form one of the strongest indictments
of free people against such party.

THE cholera scare in New York has
greatly moderated, and the cases in
quarantine have go far diminished that
it looks as If the scourge had been got
under entire control by the officers. So
far the facts seem to have shown that DIR.
Jenkins has handled the dread disease
with consummate skill, and the ven-
omous attacks upon him from partisan
sources are thus made to return to
plague their authors.

great many years. and has achieved and
merited the respect and esteem of our
people in superlative degree.

AcroRs will begin to be chary of how
they join the concern called the Stutz
Dramatic company. Five years age, two
of the company were killed by the up
setting of stage in Oregon, and yester-
day their "heavy villain" was drowned
in the Colorado. Casual deaths follow
the Stutz party, as confagrations used
to follow in the wake of Kate Claxton.

age, let US hail the cholera as blessing
