business experience and wider knowl-
edge of public affairs than the average
woman is credited with. On the other
hand, there shouM be ladies in the
board to look out for the interests of the
many female teachers in the depart
ment. At the close Of the last school
season, the board, being composed en-
tirely of males. made one of the most
undiscriminating dismissions of teachers
that could be imagined. Had there
been competent female members in the
board no such horizontal decapitation
could have been achieved. We would
very much like to see competent ladies'
elected to fair proportion OF the me M
bership of the board, and we have no
doubt the parties in making the nomin-
ations will place sufficient number of
ladies' names on their tickets to secure
just representation OF their sex in the
board.

THE supervisors Of the county have
fixed the tax rate in this city at 81 20 on
the 500. This is an increase of Is cents
over that levied lasG year. II the Union
League continues to rule the county
the taxpayers may count upon this or a
larger percentage of increase in the rate
every year. When the county clerk is
rewarded with denomination for having
given out $1,000 contract without in
viting bids, and the most lavish expen-
diture has been encouraged in all the
departments, we are only astonished
that the raise has not been made greater
than Is cents. But we may rest as
sured that if the Republican county
ticket ig successful this year, we shall
see the rate 60 up much higher when
the next levy is passed upon by the
supervisors.

Mr.. CLByELAND's letter of acceptance,
of which we have synopsis in our dis
patches, is statesmanlike paper. and
discusses the great questions now before
the people with the usual vigor, clear
ness and directness OF all papers emanat-
ing from the Democratic candidate for
the presidency. Our friends, the ene-
my, have delighted to call Mr.. Cleveland
"a maker of phrases" He is not only
that, but maker of very fine and strik-
ing phrases. He is one of the few presi-
dents whose messages have always fur
nished terse maxims 80 happily ex-
pressed as to have become household
words.

Mr.. GEORGE w. BURTON, one of the
oldest newspaper men in Los Angeles,
has purchased an interest in the San
Francisco Grocer and Country Ner-
chant, an established and flourishing
trade publication in that city. He ex-
poets to leave for his new field of labor
next Saturday. Mr.. Burton was for
many years engaged on the staff of the
HERALD. His ability as a writer and
efficiency as an all-round journalist
made him valuable and appreciated
acquisition to this paper. As he helped
to start the Grocer before he came to
Los Angeles, over twenty years ago, he
will take up work in San Francisco
that cannot, with exactitude, be said to
be new to him. The HERALD has moth
ing but good words for Mr.. Burton, and
hopes that he will meet with that sue
cess in his chosen field which his rare
merits deserve.

Mr.. TRIPHoN LAzzARovIcH, an old and
well-known resident of Los Angeles,
yesterday was compelled to pay sl1 to
redeem piece of property upon which
there was an assessmentfor less than 50,
but which had gone to the state at tax
sale. The singular part of this imposf-
tion is the fact that the tax had already
been paid, and that Mr.. Lazzarovich
holds the receipt to show it. The Ques-
tion arises, why should taxpayers be
made to suffer for the blunders of
county officers?

The Money Tied I'm.

Yesterday Mrs. Clara Foltz, of San
Francisco, appeared before Judge Wade
in the superior court, in the divorce case
of Mrs. Ella II. Hunt VS.. VIM. M. Hunt.
She wished the court to protect her
client in the matter of the payment of
$500 into court, which she alleged the
defendant has succeeded almost in get
ting. The motion was granted. The
proceedings in the case have been held
without any publicity under the execra-
BILE law now in force. The time will soon
come when the courts themselves, for
their own protection. will demand the
repeal of the law relative to secrecy of
divorce proceedings. Not day passes
in Los Angeles when the bad effects of
this law are not illustrated.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Only few days more and the Los An
geles people will have the pleasure of
witnessing the most gorgeous spectacle
and finest circus that has ever visited
this city. The great John Robinson
show, which has been unanimously pro-
nounced by the San Francisco press the
very best ever witnessed in that city,
arrives here on Thursday, and will give
an afternoon and evening performance
on that day only. A grand street parade
takes place in the morning at 10 O'Clock.
The following is portion OF one of the
many notices which appeared recently
in the San Francisco Chronicle:
Nearly 10000 people attended Robin
sons circus last night. The vast tent
was crowded and packed. The dancing
was superb. The spectacular effects
were magnificent. In fact, from the
time the curtain was drawn, showing
the throne of Solomon, with his guards
and attendants, to the closing pony
chariot race, the audience sat entranced.
After the grand ballet was over, there
was wonderful equestrian act in one
ring by Miss Louise de Mott, and in the
other by John Robinson, jr., and then
came the three Lamont brothers, They
threw one another from the hips and
from the shoulders in somersaults and
double somersaults.
There was great exhibition of bare
back riding by William de Mott and
Orrin Hollis and wonderful perform
ance of eide-saddle equestrianism by
Miss Emma Lake and Miss de Mott.
Professor Mohn's performance on the
revolving wheel is something once seen
to be long remembered. Professor Fitz.
williams'r heavyweight balancing drew
forth rounds of applause.
One of the features of the circus is
that there are no side shows, no vend-
ing OF circus lemonade. no after concert !;
in fact nothing has to be paid to see the
whole show, except the first admission
fee.
The locality of the next comedy, The
Junior Partner, which will be seen next
Friday and Saturday evenings at the
Grand opera house, is one which has
never heretofore been used for stage eff
fects, that of the dentists office, and
humorous effects and complications
evolved therefrom are claimed to be In
genuous and mirth provoking.
The comedy, in it's entirety, is alleged
to be bright, light. dashing and viva
cious, full of fun and hearty laughter,
the authors constructing 1t with the
catch lines of the play, "life is short,
let's enjoy it," always in view.
The company is under the direction of
Mr.. Charles Frohman, and is said to be
one of the most excellent ever organized
for the illustration of the farcical side of
life.

remarkable degree and will be found

NO SELECTION MADE.
DR.. AcCandless the Only Candidate
in the Republican Field.
MAJOR BROWN NOT AN ASPIRANT,
c. L. Magee Returns Home and Says Re
Has No. ChOice for Mayor.
CONFERENCE OF LEADERS TO BE HELD

The Republican mayoralty candidate has
not yet been selected. II was expected he
would be yesterday, but the day passed with
out anything being done. q. L. Magee
came home from New York and was eI-
pected to confer with his political associates
on the subject, but If he met them at all 1t
was only for a moment and the mayoralty
was not mentioned.
Gossip on the streets yesterday nearly all
leaned toward Major A. M, Brown as the
best candidate, but last night he came out
in statement over his signature which
conclusively disposes of any hope that he
may be candidate. He said:
In view of the publicity that has been
given to the suggestion of my candidacy for
the Office Of Mayor, l beg to reiterate in this
public manner what have said privately to
all friends who have spoken to me upon the
subject, that I have not been, am not now,
and will not be in the future, candidate for
that Office.
While 1 am profoundly grateful for the
kind notices published in the press, and the
many generous expressions of friendship
and offers OF support by citizens generally,
regardless OF party afhliatton, cannot coQ-
sent to become an aspirant for public office
Major Montooth's statement on Tuesday
was equally az emphatic, and Postmaster
Mexican has several times declared strong
disinclInation to be the candidate. With
these three who have been prominently and
frequently mentioned as probable romi-
nees all out of the question, it looks as If
the situation had not improved in the least
since the meeting of the City Committee
two weeks ago. DR.. McCandless is the
only Republican who is claiming the nomi-
nation. He has delegates set up all over
the city, and his friends claim majority of
them can bring in their districts to q con-.
vention and nominate him in spite of any
opposition. It is generally believed, how
ever, that the doctor will consent to having
another candidate named in his place, pro-
vided he is allowed to assist in selecting the
man.
Mr.. Magee's opposition to McCandlsss IL
tors nomination because he believes the
doctor can't win. He declares he hes no
other man to suggest and has NO interest in
the contest except that he wants cendi-
date who can be elected. His political as
sociates are divided in their preferences,
one or two favoring McCsndless, but they
seem unwilling to assume the responsibility
of naming a candidate. It was they who
suggested Postmaster Mexican and Majors
Brown and Montooth, but the declination
of all these men leaves McCandless the
field. It was stated last night that con-
ference of the leaders will be held to-day to
settle the question, but Mr. Magee knew
nothing of it,

WILL NOT MOVE THE MILLS.

The Twenty-Ninth and Thirty-Third Street
Mills of the Carnegie Company to Re-
main Where They Are-But There Is
Plenty of Room at Homestead for All.
The Carnegie Company does not now
contemplate moving its Lswrenceville
mills to Homestead or any other place. 1t
can be stated upon the very best authority
that such a removal has not even been dis
cussed by the Carnegie Company officials.
During the first stormy weeks of the Home
stead trouble there was talk of consolidat-
ing all the Carnegie works, the Keystone
Bridge Works and the Beaver Falls mills
as we'll as those at Twenty-ninth sndThir-
ty-third streets in this city, on the City
Farm property acquired by the Carnegie
Company. But circumstances underwent a
radical change and the Carnegie Company
dropped the consolidation scheme for the
time at least
There are reasons, however. why such
union of all the branches upon one convent
ent site may be consummated some time.
The city taxes make the Lawrenceville
mills especially expensive to maintain. On
the other hand, to transfer the Beaver
Falls works to Homestead would involve
an immediate and immense depreciation in
the value of the real estate owned by the
Carnegie Company at Beaver Falls. 1t is
indeed move which will be thoroughly
considered before it is made. An official
denial of its likelihood within the next year
or two was obtained yesterday. 1t is not
denied, however, that ample room for all
the Carnegie industries exists in the re-
Gently acquired property at Homestead,
and 1t is at all events probable that they
will all be brought together there in the
course of the next few years.

A BIG JOB FOR JUDGES.

Over 1000 Pages of Triennial Assessment
Testimony to Digest.
Already 1000 pages Of typewriter testi-
mony have been taken in the trienpial as
sessment appeals, and 1000 more will be
added before the matter is submitted to the
court To go through this and digest it will
be tremendous task for the Judges, and
even then it is claimed they cannot under
stand 1t as thoroughly as they should with
out personal inspection of majority of
the 300 pieces of property under discussion.
The assessors say the only way is for the
Judges to drive over the streets on which
of them before tackling the testimony.
Alex. Dempster's appeal was the first
yesterday. His lot is 242x200 feet on Stan
ton avenue, between st. Clair and Euclid
streets, and is assessed full taxable. He
thinks it should be rural. He also owns
four acres at jackson street, which he says
should be assessed agricultural, though it is
down on the books half agricultural and
half full. Thomas BIgelow, ex-City At
torney, testified the residence property
should be fixed as rural and the acreage as
agricultural under the law. Mr.. Bigelow
made q similar claim as to his own prop
ertY. He has five acres at Highland ave-
nue. and Jackson, used as orchard and
pasture. He has another piece, 10Ox19O
feet on Highland avenue, for which he
paid $150 a foot, which he thought should
be assessed at 500 and assessed as rural
His valuations were corroborated by other
witnesses.
Charles Lockhart's appeal was on several
pieces OF property on Highland and Neg
ley avenues and Hoeveler and Bond
streets, all of which he wanted assessed as
rural OF agricultural 1t was assessed as
half rural and half full Many witnesses
supported his claims 1t is probable Lock
hart's appeal on the valuation of 30 houses
on Dinwiddie street will be allowed. They
are assessed at $253, 113, but only cost $219,-
$780,
An agreement was reached on the valua-
tion appeal Of George PEBBLES. His 81
acres at Penn and East End avenues were
reduced from S57, ,120 to $50. 900. The clas-
on Is acres he owns is unsettled.

RIvERMEN NOT YET SATISFIED.
The Coal Exchange Notifies the Depart

The Coal Exchange Notifies the Depart
ment of Major Stickney's Plans.
The Pittsburg Coal Exchange at its meet
ing yesterday decided to further protest to
the department at Washington against the
plan being pursued by Major Stickney. in
putting in the dyke at Logstown. A COM
munication was sent on which stated that
since the return of the Coal Exchange COM
mittee to see the proper officials relative to
to this dyke, Major Stickney had pro-
ceeded to remove the stone from the old
dyke and was edging the grassy bar off with
the intention of building dyke beginning
at the south shore. This, the rivermen
claim, would prove a great hindrance to
navigation and endanger boats coming both
up and down the river The Exchange
recommended that the old dyke be rebuilt
to its original heig ght-which was eight feet.
In the prospective cases to be entered
against certain sand companies for leaving
the channel in Iumpy condition, the
Wharton Mcknight was said to have been
engaged yesterday at the foot of Brunot's
Island leveling these Jumps down. 1t is
thought that if the proper amends are made
nothing more will be done. There is only
one sand company that is liable to prosecu-
tlon. 1ne miners strlke was reported TO
be in about the same condition as last
week. Very little coal is being mined, but
few more miners are said to have re-
turned.
All day yesterday Water street was
crowded with rivermen earnestly watching
the bulletins. The heavy rain of Tuesday
was expected to make barge water, but the
clear skies yesterday brought little hope to
the waiting rivermen, and the water failed
to rise sufficiently for any coal to be sent
out
