Our esteemed Except where it is die
esteemed) contemporary, the Evening
Express, has been making a great
hurrah over "6ggers" in the recent cleo
ton. 1t has cackled over ridiculous
claims, like an old hen who has sue
ceeded in laying an egg after much futile
dalliance. The HERALD early in the
days following the election said thai
Harrison had less than 2l00 majority
over Cleveland in Los Angeles county.
Our contemporary waxed merry over
this statement of the vote. Well, the
supervisors have at last completed the
canvass of the vote Of Los Angeles
county, and Harrison's majority over
Cleveland turns out to be just 2U96. In
other words, we were exactly four votes
out of the way. The evening luminary
had put itself TO great deal of pains,
SO it claimed, to get the full vote Of the
county. On the strength OF these
Munchausen returns it announced that
Harrison led Cleveland by 525 votes-a
trfing little discrepancy of APO votes in
a single county. 1t is on these ridicu-
lous figures of the Express that the wild
claim has been made that Harrison has
carried California. The same inexact
figures will be found ia the returns from
many other couAties, although it is
scarcely likely that any other Republi-
can newspaper will have taken the
pains to advertise its incompetency that
our contemporary has chosen to be at
The Call of Thursday Gays that Cleve'
land has undoubtedly carried California
AS that journal is sound Repu blcan

eions are warranted. Harrison's vote
throughout the interior is steadily prov

A Projected BoSH FACTORY.

We have received communication
from bureau which proposes to pub
lish q volume or series of volumes under
the heading of american Ancestry" "
The editor discourses in this ingratiating
style:
1t would afford US Pleasure to insert
your linesge in the new volume oil
American Ancestry, which is being pre-
pared.
The work will contain the lineages Of
q majority of the families OF America,
who are able to trace to colonial times,
and it is desirable to make it reasonably
complete and representative.
We regret to say that we cannot ac'
commodate this tosdy. 1t is astonish-
ing how the spirit of caste is springing
up in the United States amongst the
descendants of square lot OF people
who were won't to Loyalty accept the
cardinal tenets OF Thomas Jefferson.
The editors and proprietors of the
HERALD suppose themselves to be de-
ecended from Adam. They would be
greatly pleased to discover that they
had manlier progenitor than Adam,
for as that respected ancestor OF ours is
described in Genesis, he was good deal
of a sneak. There is enough scope for
genealogical tree, however, between
Adam and the present day. We take it
that the individual who is getting up
this work desires to found an American
aristocracy based on colonial days. The
less said about that the better. There
were a goodly lot of people transported
to the colonies in the early days who,
after devious fortunes, begat a lot OF
Thoroughbred awells. If we were per-
mitted to tender word of advice, in
lieu of patronage and biographical. ana,
we would counsel this toady to turn his
types to better purpose. If he does
hot, his pages will afford another lovely
illustration of Falstaff's aphorism,
"Good Lord, how this world is given to
lying" In America we want no mush-
room aristocracies nor noisome castles.
Every one here is Independent Of his
ancestors, always, of course, laying
great store by honest stock. The aim
ought to be, and is, with sensible peo-
pie, to get back to the primeval,
When Adam delved Rvs span,

Los ANGELES THEATER. - By last
nights performance of Cavalleria Rus
ticana Mr.. Alexander Salvini proved
himself to be not only great actor but
most notable producer. Never in the
history Of the stage in this city has any
thing been put on with any where near
the realistic effect of this terribly simple
drama. The company, as whole and
individually, was beyond adverse crit
cisim, and as the climax approached,
the result of this work was
a tense interest that was actually
painful when the elimination was
reached in the duel between Turiddu
and Alto. There was then apparently
literally fight to the death, and Mr..
Salvini in his final scene placed himself
on par with any tragedian.
In L'Ami Fritz he was exactly the op-
posite, showing himself master of high
comedy. The latter play is slow and
wordy, and not calculated to show force.

CANNoN's plurality over Lindley in
this county, by the official count, lie
1904. To the surprise of every one Mr..
Lindley turns out to have received only
1904 votes in this Repu blican strong
hold. The most surprising revelation OF
his weakness as a candidate came from
Whittier, where he resides, and where
he was supposed to be especially strong.
The issue OF the congressional election in
the Sixth Congressional district was GER
tainly one of the surprises OF most
surprising election. Mr.. Cannon re-
ceived CLOS Democratic and exactly $500
Peoples party votes. We say PEOPLES
party, because that was the number OF
votes cast for him under that heading,
and it was just 1900 votes more than the
strength of the Peoples party. This
shows that numbers of Republicans,
who could not endure the name of Dem.
ocrat, must have voted for Cannon un-
der Populist heading to make their re-
pudiation of the Republican candidate
the more marked. Hervey is a very
gritty man, but it must require go me
degree of fortitude to grin and bear it
under the circumstances. But that is
the only thing to do. Crying over
skinned milk has always been most
Improbable occupation.

greatly to the benefit of the Democratic

it to carry the electoral vote hereafter

One of the eccentricities of the cam.
paign was the election of man like W.
w. Bowers over scholar, an orator and
q statesman like Hon. Olin Welborn.
As Lord Dundreary once sapiently re-
marked. there are some things which
"a fellow cawn't find out, you know. ."
Certainly this is one of them. With
the administration Democratic and with
a congress Democratic in both branches,
Nr. Welborn would have been an i'm
mense power for good for this section.
He would have been hailed with delight
by his friends of the dominant party,
and his utterances would have COM
manded respectful attention. 1t is GER

people to make fools of themselves if
they care to do 60. In this case they

IT IS high time that some effort should
be made to arrest the salacious tide that
is engulphing Los Angeles, judging by
the complexion OF our police reports for
the past month or 80. The dangers to
which young girls are exposed are Sim
ply appalling. Unnatural crimes of a
peculiarly atrocious kind are being com.
mitted almost every day. We do not
know that this feature OF our police rec
ords is confined to Los Angeles. That
can scarcely be possible, but it is high
time for US to reduce the unenviable no.
toriety which we have lately acquired.
Punishment for crimes of lust ought
to be made as severe an the
law admits of, and some of them,
particularly in the case of incest, ought
Los Angeles herald., 1892-11-19
to be made capital. Where it is clearly

to be made capital. Where it is clearly
proven that any man, old or young. and
particularly il he is old, has devoted
himself to the debauching of young
girls. in our opinion the wretch ought to
be strung up instsnter. To dismiss such
az enemy of society and of the human
race itself with a light fine or slight
imprisonment is to encourage dissolute'
ness. In the Scandinavian countries
the laws against the infractions OF
chastity that have been effected by force
are severe to the point of brutality, and
they are found to work we'll in practice.
Their represeive effect on the lawlsss in
diligence of passion is most salutary.

THE GREAT FRENCH TENOR.

Roger Dupuy will be one of the leading
features in the Musin concert next Satur-
day uight.
This magnificent artist was born in Paris
in 1860, and at the age of % received the
first prize at the Paris Conservatory of
Music. Since that time he has been the
leading tenor in the grand operas of Milan.
Nice and Paris. His success everywhere
has been immediate and spontaneous, and
veritable ovation was accorded him
wherever he made his second appearance.
This great tenor has been secured at a
large salary, for two years, TO support Mr.
Musin In America and Australa. At the
time the engagement was made, an agent
was in Paris trying TO secure him for the
Italian Opera company, but through Mr..
Musins friendship TO NJ. Dupuy, and also
offering him an engagement four times as
long as any opera agent could, he sue
ceeded, and now the American people can
hear the greatest tenor of the day. His
high c has astonished Europe, it being
immensely strong and of the very first
quality. Paris mourns the loss of its pet
tenor.
The opera house should be crowded, and
il doubtless will, to hear his marvellous
voice and those of the other artists who
are TO support Musin-s violinist beyond
criticism.
Seats will be on sale Thursday morning
at the box Office of the Crawford Opera
house Prices-5o and IS cents, aud 81.

ANOTHER FACTORY COMING.
soIldsy Brothers Prove Their Words by Their
Actions

About month ago the EAGLE made a
note of the fact that Solliday Brothers had
concluded to move their large spice mill
from Indianapolis, Ind, to this city. Yes
terday IN accordance with that decision
they closed deal with Mr.. John Exton,
through his agents, Israel Brothers, for
the two-story brick building on South
Emporia avenue, formerly occupied by the
Royal spice mills. The consideration OF
the sale has not been learned, but it
was very satisfactory to both sides.
For some time the indianapolis
firm has had branch Office at
Wichita located on North Market
street, and it has done such a thriving
business that the gentlemen very wisely
concluded that Wichita was the future
great commercial center and that it would
be better for them to concentrate all their
business here The firm has all the facil-
tiles for the manufacture of spices, in
Guiding all the latest machinery, and it is
only a question of few weeks till the
Wichita factory will be running to its full
lest capacity. When the mill starts up the
firm will be prepared to cover all the
south western country with their travel
ing men, to the number OF seven, and will
thoroughly cover the trade of Kansas,
Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Col
orado. They did not make this move
blind-folded against the facts. On the
contrary, they have been studying the
matter for months. and after thorough
consideration and investigation they
arrived at the conclusion that Wichita
was the coming commercial center of the
great southwestern states. and that the
first in the field could always maintain the
prestige.
In addition to their spices they will also
carry full line of fancy groceries which
they will also wholesale. Every one who
has heard of the move congratulated the
gentlemen and they will start out in their
new enterprise with the best wishes OF all
