THE COUNTY ELECTION.
The Fusionists Garry the Enfire County Ticket
" 18th the Possible Exception Of Manager.

The returns are now in from every dis
trict in the county, but it is impossible to
get correct figures. The populists, OF
course. have received figures and SO have
the Republicans, but they are SO wide
apart that i. is hard to depend on their
accuracy. In order to ascertain the result
it is best to wait till Friday, when the
official count will be made and the exact
result ascertained. 1t may be conceded,
however, from a boiling down of the
figures of both sides that the fusion county
ticket is elected by safe majorities with the
exception of Stratton for probate judge,
and maybe Kies for discreet clerk,
although the latter seems to have
the best showing. The official count, how.
ever, will be required to determine the
chances of Stratton and Naftzger for
probate Judge There is no question about
the election of O'Bryan, Boone. Colville;
these gentlemen are undoubtedly elected
by safe majorites. O'Bryan's vote will
probably exceed 500 majority and as there
are number of bets on that figure the re-
suit will be watched with some interest

Treasury. The party which believes in
blowing in the surplus has Of course
no use for such an incorruptible and
invaluable servant of the people. Yet
Mr.. Holman, the other day, told in sue
cinct language the story of what an
honest congress can do for the country.
The overwhelming Democratic majority
of the congress of l874-the s'tidal wave''
congress-made reductions amounting to
nearly sixty millions of dollars in the
national expenditures. The forty eighth
congress nearly doubled that sum. Mr..
Holman thinks that economy in ma
tional outlays is still dear to the heart
of the people, and he is undoubtedly
right. The Billion Dollar congress has
left record that the people will be slow
to forget. Extravaganza has not be-
come popular, and this is more espe-
cially the case since it is admitted that
we will this year be confronted by de-
fcit of some sixteen million dollars.
The magnificent surplus left by Mr..
Cleveland's administration has been
swallowed up and replaced by deficit.
Should the people fail to note this con-
trast they would be blind indeed.

ANOTHER REcoRD-MAKER.

The Lightning Manner in Which w. G,
Karpe Does His Distributing.
Considerable rivalry still exists be-
tween the clerks of the postoffice and
those of the railroad mail service as to
which department can produce the most
rapid and accurate man, says the San
Francisco examiner. w. g. Karpe ie
the undisputed champion of the railway
mail service. Many postoffice employees
names have been used in connection
with contest with Karpe, but as yet
nothing has been done toward complet-
ing arrangements for delivering con-
test. sai
Karpe delivered the 1926 California
cards to their respective places in six
teen minutes and twenty-five seconds,
and made but three errors. This stack
ing was at the rate Of eighty-six cards
per minute, and Karpe's time is the
fastest on record.
Karpe has been in the mail service
since 1881, and has run on several i'm
portant lines in the east and on this
coast. In May of last year he was pro-
mo ted to the position Of chief inspector
of the San Francisco department, which
pos ition he now holds.

A MIDNIGHT ATTACK,

PrOspector's Memorable Experience
sN in Lower California.
The story comes from the Lower Cali
fornian of thrilling adventure recently
occurring to William Johnson, a pros
pector. On trip from Alamo to the
broken country north of Trinidad pass
his horse was picking its trail tn rough
a dark caf1on when he was stunned
and almost thrown from his horse
by q mountain lion that dropped up.
Oh him from an overhanging tree. The
frightened horse plunged down the
cafion and Johnson, twisting in bis sad
die, managed to wrench the tnurderous
claws OF the lion from his shoulder. At
this moment the horse saw Sonora
lynx in his pathway, and swerving sud-
denly aside hurled the lion from his
back directly upon the lynx. The two
beasts locked throats, and as the horse
emerged from the cafion johnson became
faint from loss of blood and became
light-headed and did not recover his
senses until found by his partner two
days later on the desert. After he had
partially recovered the two men visited
The spot, but only few blood-bespat-
tered boulders marked the scene of the
fray. The wounded man has wobbly
shoulder to prove his participation in
the event.

BIDS SHOULD BIZ CALLED FOR.

We have SO many important transac-
tions nowadays that a sum of money lost
to the city, more or less, with many
people counts for nothing. This ought
not to be the case. In fact, it would not
be bad idea if our people would bear
in mind the fact that penny saved is
penny earned even in municipal mat
ters. Lately our city fiscal officials have
been engaged in refunding city bonds
amounting to 1920, 900, which carry per
cent, into per cent bond. Mr.. R.
G. Lunt has made a proposition to
negotiate these bonds for a COM
mission of 2 per cent, which
large sum he exacts because,
so he says, he is obliged to divide the
commission with other parties. Pursu-
ant to the request of Mr.. Lunt, these
bonds are to be 30 changed as to be
made payable, principal and interest, in
gold coin, the interest to be paid semi
annually. The council have shown a
disposition to accept Mr.. Lunt's offer,
and preparations are being made to con-
summate the matter. And why? A
5 per cent bond of the city of Los Ange-
les, interest and principal payable in gold
coin semi-annually, would undoubt-
edly command premium in the open
market. There is nothing speculative
about this statement. Why, then,
should it cost the city $4,000 to negotiate
these securities? There should be no
such squandering of the peoples money
If the council has entered into any such
negotiation it ought to cancel it or the
ground that it is against public policy.
There is a striking absence of business
like methods in this whole transaction.
In such an important affair bids ought
to be called for, and the new bonds
ought to be awarded to the highest bid.
der. The HERALD has no interest in
calling attention to this peculiar munich
pal departure other than a regard for
the interests of the taxpayer.

TIE tide of travel over the Santa Fe

The tide of travel over the Santa Fe
under it's new passenger schedule can
not fail to be large. All the indications
are that from the middle of June the
volume OF immigration from the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi rivers will be
greatly increased. When it is once
thoroughly understood in the east that
the coast climate of Southern California
below Point Conception is the most
delightful in the world during the
summer season great revolution
will take place in the direction which
pleasure-seekers will prefer. In y re-
cent number of the Californian maga-
zine Judge B. S. Eaton publishes a
highly interesting article upon the cleo
trio railway which Professor Lowe is
about to build to the summit Of Mt.
Wilson. When completed, this road
will offer new attraction to the tourist
both in summer and winter, and Los
Angeles will benefit enormously by the
intelligent policy of the Santa Fe road,
which will give to the travelling public
the large commissions which have
heretofore been engrossed by the rail-
way runners.

The semi-annual convention OF the

to close last evening with banquet,
which was a very enjoyable affair.
"This has been the most successful
meeting in the history of the sssocia.
tion," said Clinton E. Worden, of San

evening. 1--WE have been entertained
in magnificent style by the LosAngeles
druggists. It was their first attempt
and they have done handsomely, The
visiting drug men all feel grateful for tt,e

The banquet took place at the West

ADJUSTMENTS. A

On Monday night, May 30th, the pat
rons of the Grand will have an opportu-
nifty of witnessing what is said to be one
OF the best melodramatic performances
of the present season. The Midnight
Alarm is said to be one of those peculiarly
constructed pieces written to please the
masses. The company, numbering some
fifteen people, are said to be of unusual
strength, and go cast that each part is
imbced with the characteristics of the
performer.
Miss Ruth Nelson, who plays the part
OF Sparkle, was for several seasons q
member Of the Boston Museum stock
company, and is soubrette full of vim,
John Cope, D. F. Fox, Thomas Meegan
and George Hall.
The attraction at the Grand for the
three nights commencing Thursday.
June I'd, is Mr.. Charles Frohman's ex-
cellent society comedy Jane, which had
a London run of over 400 nights before
it was presented at the Madison Square
theater. The company selected is one
of the strongest under Mr.. Frohman's
management. 1t includes J6hnstone
Bennett, Paul Arthur, r. F. Cotton, M.
G. DAILY, NJ. H. Fisher, Carrie Reynolds,
Katherine Grey, Herbert Fortier and
Joseph Totten.
The interest of the programme is
heightened by the first performance in
Los Angeles of Chums, the New York
Herald's prize one act play, which has
been found to be decided departure
from the conventional curtain raiser and
an improvement in every respect. 1t is
essentially legitimate comedy, and Sc
rious sentiment scarcely enters into it,
1t will be played by special cast.

IT WOULD appear from the kilograms

even in the Cleveland current. Henry
Watterson breasted what has been
hitherto rising Cleveland tide, and in
the Democratic state convention at
Yankton, South Dakota, the applause
for Boies drowned that for Cleveland.
The delegates from both these states go
to Chicago uninstructed, as do also those
from the states of Washington and Col

in the Colorado convention was loudly ap-
plauded, while the name OF Cleveland was
not mentioned at all. Senator Hill has
been notified that the delegates from

vote for Cleveland unless he comes to

CHEAP EATING.
The Latest Game Played ON the Rsstau-
rant Keeper.


The Latest Game Played ON the Rsstau-
rant Keepers.
The better class Of restaurants in this
city have lately been subjected to a
unique game, perpetrated by two we'll
dressed young men.
One enters the dining room and picks
out table where some customer is Just
about to finish eating, or where no one
is sitting. After perusal of the bill of
fare he writes out long order. He be-
gins at once to be very talkative to the
waiter, and when, moment later, his
pal sits down opposite him, he strikes
up an acquaintance In the presence of
the white-aproned attendant.
The second man, in the meantime, has
ordered something light, like toast and
tea, and while he Is masticating the
brittle crusts No. / asks him in q friend
" manner to partake of his bounteous
repast, which is really too much for him
to eat alone.
No. 2 gladly accepts, and the waiter is
instructed by No. l to bring extra plates,
etc., and serve for two. After that the
men eat and talk pleasantly until No. l
suddenly remembers an engagement,
He excuses himself and hurries away,
taking with him the 15-cent check,
which he pays at the desk.
No. 2 quickly finishes eating and then
asks for his check. The waiter picks up
the remaining check and finds it is the
one he gave to No. l. He at once guesses
part of the truth and goes to the propri-
etor. The latter comes to No. 2, who
says he doesn't know anything about
the swindler except that he invited him
to eat. The waiter substantiates the
story, and No. 2 also leaves the place
after paying for the tea and toast. 1t
has cost the men just 30cents for COM
Portable dinner worth eight or ten times
the amount. ts fN M

A Want of Convenient Hydrants Causes
Loss.
AT about s O'Clock yesterday morning
fire broke out in row Of six small
houses on Center street, near Jackson,
the property OF Mrs. L. M. Bigelow.
The blaze started in a house owned by
John Walsh, soda water manufacturer.
Two of the houses were destroyed and a
third was badly damaged. Mr.. Walsh
was insured.
Mr.. Favian lived in the second house
with his family, and his children, who
were the only ones of the household at
home, succeeded in saving most of the
furniture. The houses were worth
about 5000, and were insured.
The absence of convenient hydrants
impeded the work of the engines and
prevented the early extinction of the
flames.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-05-26

THE Crandall episode shows for the
hundredth time that the insurance COM
panies are frequently exploited by men
who possess an audacity that amounts
to positive genius. 1t is scarcely cred
ible, though the story reads all right,
that man in his quest of wealth should
disappear, should have corpse pro-
0uced, buried with great ceremony, and
yet not himself seek to enjoy any of the
fruits Of his carefully planned villainy.
The disinterested element in humanity
rarely runs to that extent.
