voting for New rrnstees.

The election for two trustees OF the
Commons began at the mayors office at
noon to-day, but IL is believed that the
contest will bea very weak one and that
there will be no election. Nobody but
freeholders and renters can vote, and
each candidate has to receive a majority
over all to be elected. Thus when there
are more than two candidates the only
way TO elect is TO form a combination
ticket and work hard for the success
among the freeholders and renters At
the last election there was much dis.
satisfaction because of the wholesale
number Of Hungarians, other foreigners
and residents of other cities who voted,
because the law places no restriction
upon man who owns a house or rents
one.

Report comes from Philadelphia that
most of the baggage belonging TO the
passengers of the Red Star Line steam
ship Switzerland. which arrived yester-
day from Antwerp, was destroyed by the
superheated steam process through which
the baggage was put by order of the
Board OF Health. Women passengers,
with tears in their eyes, begged that
their all in the world should not thus be
ruined, but the Board Of Health's repre-
sentative could only obey the order of
his superiors. The loss TO all ON
board was not less than $4,000
and there seems TO be no
prospect that the lossers will recover a
cent from any source. The loss that
the steamship company is expected to

Los Angeles herald., 1892-01-09
BEARING FALSE WITNESS.

From the Los Angeles Evening Ex-
press, December %, 1891, we quote: SAT
present he Governor Hill is the ring
''leader in an effort to ffaudulently set
'aside the election of certain Republican
members OF the New York senate. His
''action in this respect is characteristic
''of the man."
The above was said by the Express
concerningthe efforts made by Governor
Hill and other Democrats to test in the
courts the validity of the election of
four Republican senators.
The facts are these: At the election
last November, the state OF New York
went Democratic by nearly $4,000,
thereby electing Democratic governor,
lieutenant-governor and all the other
state officers and Democratic majority
in the assembly, the lower house of the
legislature. And yet a majority of the
state senate were Republicans, whose
election was certified to by Republican
county officers. The Democratic candi
dates for senator and their friends
claimed that they had been de-
frauded of their seats by the illegal
acts OF these Republican officials
id favor of their party friends.
They also specified under oath the
illegal acts whereby the fraud was ac-
complished. In addition to this, il
seemed very queer to everybody that a
state nearly $4,000 Democratic on every
other candidate should on senators be
Republican. -Four of the Democratic
senatorial candidates contested the seats
of their successful opponents by appeals
to the courts. They also called on Gov
ernor Hill for his assistance, and he
gave it. Two of the Republican county
clerks refused to do their duty in certi-
flying necessary papers, and one of them
left the state to prevent service OF pro-
cess of court on him to compel him to
do his duty. Governor Hill removed
both and appointed their successors, and
the contests went on, the leaders and
press OF both parties engaging actively
therein. The cases we're, after investi-
cation, decided in the lower courts,
some one way and some the other. The
