Mr.. BLAINE's special plea, in the No
vember number of the North American
Review, for continuance of the Repub-
lican party in power, lacks the force
which ordinarily characterizes the efforts
of that gentleman. He makes labored
and notably unsuccessful attempt to
convict Mr.. Cleveland OF inconsistency,
claiming that his attitude, as defined in
his letter OF acceptance, is different from
his position in his celebrated message of
1887. This was very unfortunate
break of Mr.. Blaine's. AS matter of
fact, the utterances in both OF these doc
uments are strikingly alike, the senti-
ment being identical and the phraseology
nearly similar. His premises being not
only wrong but absolutely misleading,
no value is to be attached to his concu-
eions. He attempts to controvert the
Democratic claim that theirs is the
party of Jefferson, and makes very
poor showing. An immense portion of
the Democrats of today are lineal
descendants of the men who formed
Jeferson's following, and furnish in
their own family history irrefragable
evidence that they have inherited their
political faith directly from the founder
of the Democratic party. Mr.. Blaine

THE BONDS CARRIED.
THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION OF
YESTERDAY.
Big Majority in Favor of the Issue
of the Bonds - The Detailed
Vote by Wards and
Precincts.

The result of the water bond election,
yesterday, was an overwhelming victory
in favor of the bonds. They were car
ried by vote of 1880 for and 1876
against. A two-thirds majority was
required and it was obtained, and there
were 654 votes to spare.
There are number of causes which
brought about this result. The friends
of the bond measure were out in force.
For weeks they have been canvassing
the proposition, and presenting their
arguments to show why it should
carry. The Federated trades have
also taken an active part in
the contest, and have all along advised
their members to vote for the bonds and
to use all honorable means to carry
them. The Council of Labor has had a
committee at work for three weeks with
this one object in view and the members
have all worked with tireless visor.
The election was in every way quiet
and orderly. Disturbances occurred only
in the Second ward. Here VIM. Sands,
Frank Ham and Captain Darcy became
involved in dispute. The discussion
became quite heated, and for time it
looked very much as if there would be
fisticuffs. Peace was finally declared,
though, and the battle proved to be a
bloodless one.
One singular thing is the fact that 224
illegal ballots were cast, out of total of
64S9 votes. Most of the illegal ballots
were voted in what might be called the
high-toned wards-the First, the Third,
the Sixth and the Ninth. People stamped
the ballot with the wrong end OF the
rubber stamp. The precinct that gave
the heaviest vote against the bonds was
A of the Fourth ward-1SS against to
COS for. The precinct giving the heavi-
est proportionate vote against the bonds
was precinct B of the Eighth ward-129
against to S67 for.
Precinct B of the Second ward gave
the heaviest vote for the bonds-740 for
to 142 against-while Precinct A of the
same ward gave the heaviest proper
tionate vote in favor of the bonds-475
for to IA against.
The following is detail Of the vote
by wards:

A FEw WORDS TO JABKz BANBURY,

A great many good citizens of Los
Angeles are very anxious to know why
Jabez Banbury, being accused of en-
bezzling large sum of the county mon
eys for the alleged expressage to Sacra-
mento by Wells, Fargo & Co., does not
call upon the express company's officials
to extricate him from his dilemma. His
letter to the Times was cunningly
phrased to convey to the people the
idea that he had paid that corporation
large sums for transmitting bullion,
currency and bonds to and from Sacra-
mento. The HERALD met him promptly
with the statement that Mr.. Butler, the
head of the local department of Wells,
Fargo & Co., had assured representa-
tive of this journal that the county
treasurer had never shipped dollar
through his company to Sacramento or
anywhere else, although he had been
frequently solicited to do so. Now,
Jabez, there was your opportunity.
Why do you not ask Mr.. Butler or Gener-
al Superintendent Pridham to contradict
our statement. You do not do it, Mr..
Banbury, because you dare not. You
know that your plausible story would
fall to the ground like house of card
board if you challenged Mr.. Buffers
statement. Very likely the same thing
held good with your charges for sex
change" but we prefer to bold you to
this specific charge because we know
that we have got you on that PROPOSE
ton. If you have used any money be-
forging to the county to your own profit
you have committed felony, under the
explicit language of the law. Or, to be
more exact, if you have made any de-
mand on the county treasury and con-
verted the money to your own use you
are an unconvicted felon. This is harsh
language, but it is exactly fitted to the
circumstances as they have developed
under our Investigations.
And what a spectacle for Gods and
men it lie, Jabez, to have high public
official prostituting the functions of his
trust to such vulgar and reprehensible
and criminal greed! Your shuffiing
and evasive special pleading deceives no
one. Not all the ingenuity of the Ex-
press or Times avails to shield a man
vino, if innocent, has only to get Wells.
Fargo & Co. to say that they have re.
ceived the expressage money which he
has charged up to the county. Again
we ask, Jabez, why do you not do this?
OF course, talk about what Mr.. Ban
bury's predecessors have or have not
done is merely begging the question.
Mr.. J. de Barth Shorb, turing his long
residence in Los Angeles county. has
never filed any Office, except perhaps
that of road overseer. There is no ale.
CATION that a dollar OF the peoples
money has clung to his hands. Why,
then, attempt to raise an issue that does
not exist? 1t is the case of reputable
citizen who has never filed post OF Pc
cuniary emolument running against an
official who seeks an election for third
term, against whom very serious charges
have been made. Mr.. Banbury proba-
bly, knows the Law as well as anybody.
In any event there is venerable legal
maxim which is as old as the hills, and
which runs that ignorance of the law
excuses no man. Another thing that is
wholly inexcusable is depicting the
county treasury and writing cunning
and evasive letters to befog the iseue.

CONVERSE HOWE was auditor of this
county in 1891, and at his death Henry
G. Rollins was appointed to fill the va
cancy. In his report for this year the
auditor gave place to these two items
paid loan Los Angeles National bank,
$4,000; paid interest Los Angeles Ma
tional bank, $780," This would create
no surprise nor comment but for an
item which appears on the following
page of the very same report: avail
able cash in treasury, December 81, 1891,
1864 ,S1439" So it seems that the re-
cent borrowing of the sum of 5000
from the State Loan and Trust Co. and
paying $1125 for interest thereon, by the
board of supervisors, was nothing of a
novelty. Rollins swears there was
1912. .474.12 in the treasury on the 9th OF
August. Where did it all go?

CALIFORNIA; PRovINCIALIsM.

Well, we are barbsrians, it appears,
we people out here in California, and we
have had to wait for the visit of Lillian
Russell to find out this ugly fact. We
have managed to pass muster fairly we'll
with such artists as Patti, and the Bern
hardt, and Booth, and hosts of other
distinguished members of the stage,
operate and Thespian. and it required
the piercing glance OF this fat warbler
with the insufficient nose to discover
our provincialism. All "culchaw"
is left behind when Denver is
passed, according to her. Now,
really, this is most distressing. The
fair and fat Lillian has become fat.witted
as we'll. 1t is doubtful if che can make
any great pretensions to be the arbitress
of the standing of cities and common
wealths. When woman is in great
rage the shoe pinches somewhere. We
are afraid that the fair cantatrice is in
a state OF chronic ill-humor at having to
wear sweaters to reduce her weight.
And then, probably, her baby face and
quite ordinary voice failed to make the
great impression upon Californians that
she counted upon. She was not aware,
poor girl, that the promenades
of San Francisco are crowded
with queenly women who threw
her own commonplace type of beauty
into complete eclipse. We wager that
right here is the secret of the fair Lillian g
disgruntlement. There are so many ex-
quisitely beautiful women in the Golden
Gate that the men failed to enthuse over
very ordinary attraction. If they had
gone wild over her charms or her vocal
gifts the judgment of the spoiled prima
donna would have been very different
one. We are sorry that bile got 30 far
the better of this mediocre actress. She
is fat. and according to a common ira
dition, she ought to be good natured.
Such acidulated temperamentsa are rarely
found inhabiting such ample bodies.

THAT great and mighty warrior, Gen.
W. H. L. Barnes. told a Republican
committee, at the beginning OF the cam
paign. that thereafter he would take no
active part in politics, but strictly at
tend to the business of W. H. L. B. He
was then sorely disgruntled at his de-
feat for delegate-at-large to the national
Republican convention. He said that
whenever the party wanted him to fur
nish brains, he had done so; but when
he required OF it a compliment, it was
refused. Barnes must be one of the
most unreliable of mortals. He ad-
dressed Republican meeting in San
Francisco the other day, aud iust satur-
ated the audience with Barniose brains.

several thousand dollars to the county,

or, in other words, Otis has now been
silenced and Osborne is cinching the
county, with the aid and manipulation

IT IS a curious circumstance that, of
the 224 votes thrown out as illegal at
the election yesterday, the great major
ity of them were put into the urns in
the wards that are supposed to contain
the exceptionally intelligent portion of
our population. There were only two
lines on the ballots voted yesterday.
"For the Bonds" and against the
Bonds"-and yet over three per cent of
the ballots were rejected under the law
in poll of less than half the registered
vote of Los Angeles. On a full vote
even on this easy ticket the defective
ballots would have amounted to 500
votes. How will it be when the voter is
confronted by ticket that contains 1OS
names, or, as in San Francisco, some 700
names? Look out for miching malicho,
oh ye who like to borrow trouble!

AT THIS writing the election count
shows that the water bonds have been
carried by more than the necessary two
thirds vote. The people have decided
to assume the initial indebtedness of
over half million dollars to inaugurate
work On the whole water system by
commencing to construct the works nee
essary to supply the hill portions of the
city. The HERALD opposed the issuance
of the bonds, and gave what it deemed
sound and logical reasons for its atti-
tude. But the people have voted other
wise, and we gracefully yield. Yet we
cannot refrain from saying, right here
and now, that the taxpayers will yet
admit that the HERALD was right, and
that it would have been better for the
city if it's advice had been followed.
Enough has been developed by the con-
troversy just closed to show that the
engineering plans and estimates of this
initial work are crude and indefinite.
In order that the city may make no mis-.
take based upon erroneous details, we
would advise the council to call in to
the assistance of the engineers depart
ment outside engineers of standing to
carefully go over the whole field of sup
ply aud distribution contemplated, and
leave the plans, specifications and esti-
mates in no doubt whatever before work
on the initial system is actually com.
menced.

lays much stress on the great benefits
which have been derived from the policy
of reciprocity, and yet he quarrels with
the Democratic party for desiring to ex-
tend the system. He and his party
associates conveniently ignore the fact
that the whole scheme of the Pan
American congress was devised under
Mr.. Cleveand's administration, and
that the Republicans merely carried it
out, as they have tine scheme of creating
an American navy. The aid which the
hard d-bested Republican leaders will de-
rive from Mr.. Blaine's magazine efforts
will be inappreciable.

those who are benefited by unjust laws
are willing to put up handsomely to per-
petuste them. "Trying the fat" out of
the highly protected favorites was done
to an astonishing extent at the last
presidential election; but this year it
has so far exceeded 1883 as to leave the
performance of that year mere shadow
of what it has grown to be; and the
election money raised in 1896 will prob
ably prove an Ossa to 1925 wart.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-11-03

A great deal of interest was maini-
tested in the result, and large crowd
gathered at the city clerks office, last
evening, to await the arrival of the re.
turns.
One of the heaviest workers in behalf
of the water bonds yesterday was Coun-
Gilman D. Innes of the Second ward.
Mr.. Innes was on hand at the opening
of the polls, and during the entire day
he never ceased his labors in behalf Of
what he considered to be righteous
measure. 1t is owing to his tirelees
efforts that the Second ward yesterday
rolled up such an overwhelming ma or
ity in favor of the bonds.

THE GRAND-The Duff Opera company
will appear at the Grand Opera house
in Cavalleria Rusticana, Trial by Jury
and Miss Helyett, on the Sth and 9th OF
November. The company, from the
names of its principals, should be one of
unusual merit. 1t has not visited this
part of the country in three years, and
when last seen here gave great satisfac-
tion. Miss Helen Bertram is the new
prima donna, and has created an excel
lent impression everywhere. The tenor
of the company is Charles Bassett, for
merly of the National Opera. He stands
today as the leading American tenor.
He studied for some years in Italy, and
has sung in nearly every grand opera
that has been written. He has only of
late years appeared in light opera with
Mr.. Duff's company. Another new
member of the company is Miss Villa
Knox, clever and pleasing soprano.
The chorus is of unusual strength and
excellence. Its work in Cavalleria Rus
ticana has been particularly COM
mended.

Steel and Nickel Change Their Relations
Under the lnfiuence of Cold.

Steel and Nickel Change Their Relations
Under the Influence of Cold.
In his presidential address before the
chemical section of the British associa-
tion Prof. Roberts Austen spoke of the
consequences of allotropic changes
which result in the alteration of struc-
ture as being very great. The case of the
tin regimental buttons which fell into
a shapeless heap when exposed to the
rigorous winter of st. Petersburg is
well known. The recent remarkable
discovery by Hopllinson of the changes
in density of nickel steel containing
twenty-five per cent of uickeD which
are produced by cooling TO thirty de-
grees affords anoths4 instance.
This variety of steel. after being
frozen, is readily magnetizable, al
though it was not so before; its density,
moreover, is permanently reduced by
no less than two per cent by the ex-
posure to cold, and it is startling to con-
template the effect which would be
produced by visit to the Arctic re-
gions of ship of war built in q temper
ate climate of ordinary steel and clad
with some three Thousand tons of such
nickel-steel armor; the shearing which
would result from the expansion of the
armor from exposure to cold would de-
stroy the ship
The molecular behavior Of alloys is,
indeed, most interesting w. Spring
has shown in a long series of investiga-
tions that alloys may be formed at the
ordinary temperature, provided thai
minute particles of the constituent ele
ments are submitted to great pressure,
w. Hallock has recently given strong
evidence in favor of the view that an
alloy can be produced from its constitu-
ent metals with but slight pressure, il
the temperature to which the mass is
submitted be above the melting point
of the alloy, even though it be far be-
low the melting point of the more easi'
