freedom OF action these later days. Pres
ident Harrison himself, in the recent
campaign for a denomination, set an ex-
ample new to this generation. A more
open and elaborate piece of boss work
was never performed in the land than
that by him which ended in the conven-
tion at Minneapolis, Nor has there
been more since then that has not been
directed by him or through his political
family. His choice of campaign man
ayers has been made known and OBJ
sequiously approved by the committee; /;
and the president is now known to have
undertaken the main direction of the
canvass. The only difference between
him and the Clarksons and Quays and
Dudleys of other campaigns is that as
to them there has never been any
sanctimonious claims of political or
personal purity.
There was another element in the
late Republican convention here that
was even more pitiful and degrading
than the brutal bullying of the salaried
officers of the government. 1t was the
eniisting OF the supposed Christian ele-
ment in the fight. At least the clergy
men were in the midst of the turmoil
as delegates working in behalf Of an in
terest freely denounced as having been
aided and promoted by practices sys.
tematically crooked and corrupt. What
ought to be the estimate that we are
called upon to place on such spectacle :?
These men and other workers cunning
ly made to represent the supposed re-
ligious element would have been mex
pressibly shocked ten years ago at such
spectacle. What can be the end of a
party capable of such things? What
but early deserved and final overthrow? ?
There is no permanent abiding place for
systematic crookedness and hypocrisy
in self-respecting communities.

Our worlds Columbian Fair illustrated
Edition.


The HERALD will issue worlds Columbian
fair edition OF the ILLUSTRATED HERALD. Ar
rapeements have been made with the most fin
fshed artists in America TO insure the greatest
perfection OF detail to the illustrations. A
quarter of n illion copies Of this matchless
publication will be issued 1t will be printed
on heavy book paper, and will be distributed
by uniformed boys during The progress Of the
exposition, and the distribution will be under
the direction Of an intelligent superintendent,
who will see that each copy shall go where 1t
win do the most good. II viii be devoted to
Southern California, every portion of which
viii be treated impartially. In few days &C.
credited agents of the HERALD will start cut
on the work oil canvassing the people in the
interest Of this mammoth enterprise
Those who can contribute advertising
patronage are expected to do so, while
almost anybody can subscribe for copies
to be either mailed east by themselves, or dis
tributed at the worlds fair through the HER
AIDS agency. There is no reason why the
greatest boom ever known in the history of
Southern California should not follow in the
wake of the Columbian worlds fair. 1t is the
mission of the herald TO see that this shall b
the case. The high standard OF previous edi-
tions of the HERALD is guarantee thar this
supreme effort will be of exceptional merit.
TIE aim will be to make it nonpareil. 1t will
be noted that in this ambitious edition all the
counties in Southern California are to be in
cluded. We bespeak for this enterprise the
generous patronage which will undoubtedly be
accorded to it, and which in reality will only
be bread cast upon the waters, which viii re-
turn before the lapse of many days. This is the
missionary era in Southern California. We
need people, and the HERALD proposes to see
that they shall get here in great numbers and
of the right kind.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The announcement of the appearance
Ct Col. j. II. Haverly's Mastodon Min
strels at the Grand opera house three
nights. commencing Tuesday July 26th,
will be hailed with pleasure by those
who are fond Of minstrelsy. Since the
first appearance of this minstrel organi-
zation early last season, throughout the
eastern cities the patronage has been
without a break. After a successful
season on the road Colonel Hayerly
opened the longest and most successful
season in minstrelsy at the Casino.
Chicago, where for twenty-eight weeks
the vast auditorium was packed to the
doors, and matinees were given every
afternoon. In this organization Colonel
Haverly has combined all OF the old
time favorites, with additions OF num-
ber OF new features never before pre-
sented, noteworthy among which Is the
great free open-air concert and "Kis-
sell's' tower military muHket maneuvers
which will be given every day at
O'Clock, or as near that hour as
possible, at the city park. Among
the old-time favorites in this combine
ton Of minstrel men, Colonel Hayerly
presents the great and only Billy Rice.
and more popular black-faced comedi.
an never appeared before the public.
Il. M. Hall shares the honors with Rice
most acceptabiy, and E. M. Kayne
holds the position of interlocutor to the
satisfaction of bis auditors. EIlwood.
the male soprano, is without rival in
his line. His voice is pure and sweet.
Harry Constantine appears as premier
danseuse, his dancing being the perfec-
ton Of grace. Bogert and O'Brien are
seen in clever musical turn, in which
they succeed in bringing forth sweet

PARKS, GENERALLY SPEAKING.

The suggestions made by Mr.. Suther-
land Hutton at the meeting OF the cham
ber OF commerce yesterday, relative to
the Elysian park, were well timed and
should receive proper attention. Nothing
adds to the value of metropolitan prop
erty more than good system of parks
or botanical gardens. They have been
the life of Sydney and Melbourne; and
as for San Francisco, she is not to be
sneezed at with her wonderful park,
which is simply reclamation of the
saddest and most desolate-looking sand
dunes in America. No such obstacles as
those attendant upon the establishment
of Golden Gate park, confront the de-
sgners having Elysian park in charge.
1t can soon be made to pay it's way or a
large portion OF its expense, by making
it nursery for the distribution and sale
OF rare forest trees that are not now
generally in vogue.
OF course this proposition will meet
with opposition from nurserymen hav-
ing trees to sell. but if the varieties
offered by public garden are different
from those sold by private parties, no
valid objection can be made. II the
park commissioners go to the expense
of importing new trees from Australia,
New Guinea and Siam, there is no valid
reason why the revenues of the park
should not be increased by the sale Of
such trees to private parties who might
desire them. Again we say, speed the
great Elysian park and let it be great
magazine of wealth to the whole OF
Southern California.
We are mere beginners in the matter
of arboriculture. 1t would have made a
difference of $3,0O0,0O0 already to this
end of the state had the red gum of the
Murray river been introduced here in
stead of the blue gum of Tasmania. The
former makes good bridge timber,
good railroad tie, an excellent fence post
and a fairly good telegraph pole. while
the Tasmanian gum has no value beyond
fuel and its medicinal properties. The
Southern Pacific company could afford
to plant 10000 red gums annually in
this county to save freighton its railroad
ties. These are considerations not to be
wholly disregarded in making up calcu-
lations as to how a large body of land
like Elysian park can be made self.sup-
porting, il not an absolute source of rev.
enue to our beautiful city.

HElarge number ofyacant houses in
San Francisco is caused by theway that
mechanics and clerks. who have saved
their money, have bought or built new
houses OF their own and ceased to pay
rent. The officers Of the Spring Valley
Water company, who ought to be good
authority on such matters, say there is
no undue proportion of unoccupied
houses to let at present. The owners Of
the housesthus vacated say they must
have the same rent as when their houses
were new, which does not altogether
suit the debtor class. As natural con-
sequence, such houses lie idle until a
man comes along who wants them. A
similar state of things is prevalent here,
but ON smaller scale.

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

How few people there are in this fair
land OF ours, who really understand the
mission OF a newspaper. Some of these
good but benighted souls evidently
think that when a newspaper comes out
and defines its position in behalf Of one
party or the other, it should perform all
advertising gratis for that party or any
men belonging to it. -.sN
OF course the HERALD is always
pleased to expedite matters connected
with the formation of Democratic clubs
or anything in that line. But all no.
tices of meetings hereafter or resolutions
passed by meetings that have already
occurred, are just as much legitimate
advertising matter, when signed by the
president or secretary Of the same, as
any advertisement OF merchandise or
land for sale. New York, San Francisco
and Chicago papers have long since es-
tablished rule of compelling payments
of these advertisements in advance and
there is no reason why such a rule
should not be made invariable. The
newspaper is public convenience, as a
vehicle of information and it saves the
secretary of such an organization the
trouble of notifying each member indi-
vidnally to attend. Any convenience
that is worth having, is worth paying
for, beyond dispute.
If any meeting to be held within this
county desires its proceedings reported
at length during the campaign, it will
be the HERALD's pleasure to send re-
porter to the scene of action, free of any
expense to the club under whose aus
pices the meeting may take place. In
word, we expect no compensation for
voluntary services rendered, but when
ever advertisements are ordered TO be
inserted they must be paid fory whether
their purport be political or otherwise.
No deviation will be made from this
rule, as the fair-minded newspaper
should aim to treat all parties alike.

"To Paris and back for e5" is the
title of aclever dhe-act comedy written
in England some years ago. It costs
more to get there from this country, if
you hear our solemn vow. Paris and its
environs now contain the families of
five thousand protected merchants and
manufacturers. 1t is on the specious
plea of "keeping the money in the
country" that an American workman
pays IS for pair of breeches which he
could get in England for So. 1t is this
profit that enables the fast young men
of New York and Philadelphia to spend
their summers on the continent, you
know.

GOVERNOR. lit. GOVERNOR.

1t thus appears that go popular a
Democrat as Mr.. Reddick did not carry
a single county in this (present) con-
gressional district, while Mr.. Del Vale
carried the county of Santa Barbara
and ran ahead of him in every county
in the district with the single exception
Of Santa Cruz, and gained over Pond in
the six counties 664 votes, being beaten
by Mr.. Reddick 1888 votes, while Mr..
Pond was beaten by Governor Markham
2779 votes.
In my opinion these figures point to Mr..
Del Vale as the man for the hour. When
the railroads, in the full swing OF power,
were automatically debating the legis-
lation for the state, there was one who
did not fall down, and that was Mr.. Del
Vale. When the great San Joaquin
valley fight took place, the man who
lifted up his voice and cast his vote for
the people was Mr.. Del Vale. Our
normal school is a monument to his in
huence and energy, and early and late
he has labored for the physical, moral
and mental advancement of the people.
His name has never been spoken in the
same breath with any dirty legislative
job, nor has it ever been urged that he
deserved nomination because he was
instrumental in squandering $3.50. 900 of
the states money in Los Angeles coun-
ty. Finally, he is a Democrat. To my
mind, Mr.. Del Vale is the beau ideal Of
a candidate, and, in my humble opin
ion, is the man of the hour. @.

EDITORS HERALD: Anyone who wit
messed the indecent and scandalous
scramble for nomination in the Re-
publican county convention yesterday
must have been convinced that the
clock points the hour of Democratic
success in this congressional district,
and that the only question is: Who is
the man? Our nominee must be one of
clean private and public character; il
he has held Office and debated and voted
on public questions, he must have taken
the position that an honest and upright
citizen and incorruptible officer ought
to take; one who, while not neglecting
the interests OF the state, has put forth
his most strenuous effolts to advance
the interests of his city, county and dis
trict along moral and intellectual lines ).
who has taken and maintained a firm
and consistent stand for the people
when their welfare and that of corpora
tions have clashed one who in wet
weather and dry, in sunshine and storm,
in victory and defeat has steadiastly
kept the faith. l am not ashamed to
say that am Democrat, and / am free
to confess to brotherly feeling for that
noble band who have never wavered in
their allegiance to the cause of the peo-
pie.
The question that presents itself to
the Democrats of this congressional dis
trIct is . Who is our strongest man?
Perhaps we may gain some light from
the figures that do not lie. This con-
gressional district consists of the cQun-
ties of Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Bar,
bara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey and
Santa Cruz. The vote in these coun-
ties at the last gubernatorial election
was as follows:

THE medium between tariff for the
support of the government and tariff
that willsenrich five men at the risk Of
impoyerishing fifty others, is neatly hit
off by Mr.. Cleveland in his speech of
reception. He gives the Democratic
theory OF the tariff in briefer language
and more luminous Interpretation than
any representative of the party has yet
done. He said:
Ours is not destructive party. We
are not recklessly needless OF any Amer
ican interests, nor will we abandon our
regard for them, but we insist that no
plan Of tariff legislation shall be tolerat-
ed which has for its object and purpose
forced contribution from the earnings
and income OF the mass of our citizens-
to swell directly the accumulations Of 4
favored few

"QUIET and harmony prevails in San

to the recent Republican primaries in
that city. How could it be otherwise
when Kelly and Crimmins have every
thing their own way and Col. Dan

non est comeatibus,' as the Missouri
constable put it. There are occasions
when "history repeats itself" and this

EDITORS HERALD: Your article by At

days ago, as we'll as that of Mr.. E. A.

leading in some respects. OF couree the
Peoples party candidates cannot be
printed on the general ticket without q
petition of 5 per cent OF the voters of the
district or different political divisions at
the last election, properly certified, etc. !;
but to cay that Marion Cannon or any
other man cannot be voted for is an
error. 1t is true that an elector cannot
vote any other ticket than the one fur
Iiished him as legal ticket, but as the
law provides that there must be blank
space left on the ticket for every office
to be filed, and that man may write
the name of any party whom he wishes
to vote for in these blanks-which
names shall be counted the same as
other votes-there is no reason why or
law to prevent any party from printing
its own ticket, for a memorandum of its
voters, each of whom may take his
ticket into the booth and transcribe it
in the blank spaces left for such an
emergency On the ticket prepared by
the state, county or municipality.
