THE EASTERN LIBRARIES.
An Enterprise Appreciated by the Peo.
pie of Los Angeles.

pie of Los Angeles.
1t is seldom that a public enterprise
meets with the enthusiasm and CO.
operation that the HERALD has met
with in its project of distributing copies
OF the illustrated Annual throughout
the public libraries and reading rooms
of the United States. 1t has been a
laborious and tedious task, but, what is
most gratifying, successful one.
The public would have been surprised
had they visited the business office of
the HERALD at any time during the past
ten days and looked at the busy clerks
compiling the list of libraries and ad-
dressing and mailing the superb work
which is now finished.
During the year it is contemplated to
send to these same institutions other
literature, which will be as interesting
as the Annuals. The HERALD will con-
tinue to do all that lies in it's power to
fufther the interests OF Los Angeles
and Southern California, so that an
other season will prove the banner one
for immigration. With proper litera-
ture, properly disseminated through
out the country, there can be but one
result; that is an eagerness for people
of means to come to dwell in our de-
lightful climate.

The San Francisco Wave, of the 9th
inst, gives us an illustration of going
from home to hear the news. Talking
of Mr.. E. J. Baldwin's Santa Anita
rancho it says
This splendid expanse of vineyard, ,
orchard, and grain field, eighteen years
ago was nothing but a sheep ranch. 1T
fell into the hands OF a Jewish firm, the
Newmarks, who, much to their regret,
we're compelled to foreclose mortgage
they held on it for 500 900. A bad bar
gain they considered the transaction.
About this time the bank of Cali
fornia failed, and among other
institutions that went down
with it was the Temple bank at Los
Angeles. It's failure threw Oh the mar
ket Temple block, then the most valu-
able piece of improved real estate in the
southern metropolis. Mr.. Baldwin pur-
chased this property for $135, 900, but
being anxious to own a ranch, he ex-
changed it for Santa Anita, much to the
Newmarks' satisfaction. Both imagined
they had the best of the trade. Since
then the Temple block has paid huge
interest on a sum much larger than it
when that individual could have dis
posed of his ranch for 100000.
As matter Of fact, Mr.. Baldwin pur-
chased the Santa Anita ranch from the
Newmarks some time before the failure
of the banking firm of Temple & Work
man, and, if our memory is not at fault,
for $215, 900. The ranch comprised some

YESTERDAY municipal elections were
held in most of the towns of Southern
California. The Australian ballot system
was used for the first time, and it seems
to have worked satisfactorily every
where. with the exceptions of Long
Beach and Redlsnds. In the former
place, of the 130 votes cast, fortytive
were thrown out on account of irregu-
larity in the ballots, leaving the result
to be determined by the remaining
forty-fve. In Redlands the astonishing
number of $50 votes were polled. This
is notably surprising result in COM
munity which is scarcely four years old,
and indicates phenomenal growth in
population. The contest in this young
wonder city was between the Prohibi-
tionists and high license advocates, and
there were number of ballots thrown
out, which leaves the result in doubt.
This case will certainly be carried to the
courts
Los Angeles herald., 1892-04-12

ness to continue the work. The third
duel was fought on the banks OF the
Savannah river with brother OF Pres
ton S. Brooks, of that So called Bully"
Brooks who made the assault on Charles
Simmer in the senate chamber OF the
United States few years before the
war. Both combatants were severely
wounded, and lay six weeks on the field
before they could be moved. As soon as
he had partially recovered his strength,
Wigfall appeared in the South Carolina
town, pale but determined, and notified
the club that he was again at its SER
vice.
This was a little more than it had
bargained for. The club met and
rescinded its resolution, and Wigfall was
not again obliged to prove his skill with
the pistol in that region.
A short time after his recovery he
moved to Savannah, Georgia, where he
became embroiled with gentleman
who for some reason declined to fight
him. Wigfall announced his purpose
of posting his enemy at 10 o'clock of a
stipulated day at the entrance to the
principal hotel in Savannah. Promptly
at the hour and place he appeared with
a pistol, placard, a hammer, tacks and
a stool. Placing his pistol on the stool
he had just driven the first tack into the
placard when the uncle of the individual
he had posted put in an appearance
and commanded him to desist. 81 have
no quarrel with you, SIR" said Wigfall,
and drove the second tack. Interrupted
by a pistol shot the great duelist
stopped, took up his pistol, shot the
uncle through the heart and resumed
his tack driving.
There is something OF a dime novel
heroism in an incident like this which
is calculated to captivate callow imag-
| ination. But it is all Brummagem and
Pinchbeck. The spirit of the age has
put the seal of condemnation on murder
under the guise of the code. In Eng.
land and the United States the law has
made the sending or acceptance of a
challenge to, or participation in, a
duel grave offense. In most states OF
the union it works disfranchisement.
The result is that the duel has given
place to the street fight. The very idea
underlying the duello is illogical
in the extreme. 1t means that
if you have been wronged the
perpetrator of the injury from
which you suffer shall have the privilege
OF killing you, and 60 unwhipt OF justice
for both wrongs. There is common
sense conviction which has grown
among mankind which says that any
wrong which is grave enough to warrant
you in challenging man is also suffi-
cient warrant to shoot him down. But
the overwhelming sentiment of late
years is that the law and public opinion
are ample to protect the honor
and right the wrongs of any
man who resides in civilized country
That is the status of the matter in the
United States and England, and it will
soon be so all over the world.

AS IT is generally admitted that New
York will be good thing to have in the
Democratic roll OF states when it comes
to polling the electoral colleges, ex-
Mayor Grace, Frederick r. Coudert and
the rest of the agitators ought to be
called off. Mr.. Cleveland's friends
ought, before all things, to see to it that
no rival delegation shall appear at Chi
cago from the Empire state. If the ex-
president shall receive the nomination
his superserviceable friends ought to
leave him in the position of demanding
the undivided support of New York
Democrats. If party usage is expected
to prevail in one case it ought to be en-
forced in all. New York is just as de-
cisively for Hill as Massachusetts is for
Cleveland. The appearance of con-
testing delegation from that state should
be discouraged by every one who has
the interests of the Democratic party at
heart. Itwould inaugurate one of those
unfortunate wrangles which Democrats
have had 80 much reason to deprecate
in the past. By ali means let Mr..
Cleveland's friends shout for him, and
nominate him if they can secure the
COL delegates needed for that
purpose, but harmony should prevail in
the New York Democracy. To admit a
contesting delegation from that state at
Chicago would simply lay the seeds OF
disorganization.

Hon. E. F. SPENCE told a reporter of
the HERALD yesterday that he and his
local associates would not be averse to
cooperating with Harvard in putting up
a grand observatory on Mt. Wilson pro-
viding there is some recognition of Los
Angeles in the enterprise. He is of
opinion that such union of interests
can be effected. This would probably
result in locating half million dollar
observatory on that noble height.
