THE GREAT REGISTER.

More Facts About the Waste OF Money
for It's Printing.
1t so happens that in 1890 the great
register of this county was printed at a
cost of IA cents per name, and the net
profit on the job was $4,000. Now, in
1892, it is printed for 2S cents per name.
The net profit this year will be simply
immense, and the firm having the con-
tract can contribute literally to the
Republican campaign fund.
= The proprietors of the Franklin Print
ing company stated yesterday that they
would gladly have Put in bid on the
great register job, and intended to, but
County Clerk Ward would give out no
information as to the work whatever.
In fact, certain parties had told them
that it was useless for them to bid on
the job, for it was going to the Evening
Express anyway.
Still the general public is asking Mr..
Ward pertinent questions about this
steal. A correspondent writes as fol-
lows 5a
Los ANGELES, Aug. IS.
EDITORS HERALD: Referring to let
ter by 7. H. Ward in yesterdays Ex-
press, it would seem that he justifies his
act IN letting the contract for printing
the great register at the maximum
price because it was legal for him to do
so but why not let this concern do the
work at minimum price, or something
between the two? Mr.. Ward seems to
have shut out competition because he
was not satisfied in his own mind that
other printers ''could get it out in good
shape" In the east, when an official is
confronted with such doubts, he eases
his mind by demanding bond for the
faithful and prompt execution Of the
contract. (I mean the honest ones do
this, as I am sorry to say we have lots
Of the other kind}) Now, Mr.. Ward, be
frank with disinterested tenderfoot;
isn't it fact that you wanted the other
fellows to keep quiet while you placed
this work where it would be of the
greatest benefit lowell, not the public?
A New YORKER.
Mr.. Ward gave out contract for a
piece ofcounty work at $1,000. when it
could have been done for $4,000. If Mr..
Ward was frank. he would admit that
this is true.

DONE BY A PARTY VOTE.
HOW THE COUNCIL REDUCES THE
TELEPHONE ASSESSMENT.
A Republican Senator's Client Secures q
Solid Republican Vote In the
Council = Assessor Hin
toms Statement.

The city council, sitting as board of
equalization, has reduced the ASSESS
ment of the Sunset Telephone and Tele-
graph company and of the American
Ben Telephone company $23.570.
The attorney for these corporations.
who secured the reduction of the assess
ment, is Senator r. B. Carpenter of
San Francisco, and also senator from
Los Angeles county in the state legisIa-
ture. Senator Carpenter labored long
to secure this reduction, but at his be-
hest it finally came.
Five Republican councilmen voted to
lower the assessment, as follows:
Messrs. Bonsall. Tufts, Rhodes, Rees
and Summerland. The Democratic
members of the council, to a man, made
hard fight against the reduction, and
every one of them voted against it, as
follows: Messrs. Innes. Nickel and Nc
Garry. But there were five members of
the council who favored the reduction
all Republicans-and it had to come.
The original assessment made by City
Assessor Hinton was as follows:
Los Angeles herald., 1892-08-17

NOW, MT. ClCy .AHBoeSOr hinton Is
Republican, and he claimed and steadily
adhered to the proposition that his as
sessment Of the two telephone compan-
les was just and equitable. The tele-
phone company claimed that their gross
receipts were $40, 900 per year, or there
abouts, and that their net receipts were
about $4,000. But the net receipts, the
assessor says, were reduced by taking
away the cost of operating the outside
lines in Southern California. The city
assessor holds that in assessing the tel
ephone company, he should alone con-
slider the profit the investment bring
from its 1122 telephone boxes in this
city-in the stores, in the offices and in
the independent of what
the country lines cost the company. He
claims that he has no right to reduce
the assessment OF a business block in
this city, simply because the owner of
that block has similar structure
in San Diego paying, no interest
on the Investments This, he says, is
virtually what the Telephone company
demanded--a reduction on the assess
ment made on their property in this
city, which is paying an enormous sum
on the investment, because their county

the city lines earn.
Mr.. Hinton feels that the Democratic
members of the council who stood by
the assessment he made are entitled to
all the credit their action demands.
In fact Mr.. Hinton goes even further.
He states that when he made the assess-
ment on the property of the Los An.
geles Lighting company, he assessed it
Of xxy1 1o IN hn hn
figure. Later he found that his compu-
tation was not correct, and he thought
that the assessment should be raised.
He says that he brought the fact to the
attention Of the council, sitting as
board of equalization, but they failed to
follow his suggestion, and cite the Off
GERS of the company to appear and
show cause why their assessment should
not be raised. Therefore the assess
ment he first made, and which he says
ia not adequate, stands.

An Almost Unparalleled Case
Of Suffering.
Extricated From a Pit of Abject
Darkness and Despair.
Emerged Again Into the Sunlight,
Saved!

The best writers during all the ages
have with eloquent pens, depicted the aw-
full mental suffering of hopelessness and
darkest despair. Dante, De Quincy and
others painted in never to be forgotten
shades of sombre blackness the mind ut
terly devoid of hope, wretched with lost
courage, despondent, disheartened.
But in real life we have never heard a
more heart felt tale OF suffering, mental
and physical, than that told us by most
estimable lady, Mrs j. P. Swift, who lives
at 2789 Washington St., Boston, Mass.
"Four years ago." she said, 81 was in a
position OF complete physical and nerv.
GUS prostration, had but little appetite,
severe indigestion, stomach distended
with gas, constipation, palpitation Of the
heart, sleeplessness, pain in back OF the
neck and base of the brain, and was so
nervous and respondent that life was a
burden.
"As result of this condition, other
weaknesses peculiar to my sex, fell upon
me, until l was utterly wretched.
"After much medical treatment and
constant failure, was induced to try DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy. 1t was in faiut.hearted way and
with little hope, but soon began to
sleep better, my digestion improved, the
pain in the head became less severe and
I gradually gained strength until I felt
as if had been extricated from pit OF
abject darkness and despair and emerged
into the sunlight!
CDR. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy saved me Very many of my
friends to whom ] have recommended
the remecy, can attest to similar results
in their own cases.
"It is truly wonderful medicine and
might well be called the 'Woman's
Friend"
1t is fact that the sick are desparing.
How many thousands ofsufierers there
are who, from repeated failures to find
relief, lack courage, become respondent
and almost lose all hope of ever getting
anything to cure them!
And yet if they will use this remark
able medicine, which is purely vegetable
aud harmless and can be procured at any
druggists g, how soon will their gloom and
despair be turned to hope and joy! Mrs.
Swift has recommended it to great
many Of her friends who have been
cured, and it will cure you if you will
use it.
tits by no means a simple patent medi.
cine but is the marvellous discovery of
specialist eminent in the treatment of
nervous and chronic diseases, DR.. Greene,
of 35 West 14th Street, New York. The
Doctor also gives to all the privilege OF
consulting him free of charge, and any
who desire can call upon him or write

The official count of the vote in Ohio
gives James P. Seward, the first elector
on the Democratic ticket, and the only
man elected on the ticket, plurality of
l,7l6 over Lorenzo Danford, the first
elector ON the Republican ticket. 1t
will be conceded by every one that the
voter who marked in the first space
under his party's device intended to
vote that ticket complete. This being
true, enough Democrats voted at the
last election to have given the party in
the State the same majority that was
given the first elector on the Democratic
ticket, namely, 1,716. There were
twenty Democrats in Adams county who
marked their tickets in the first space
and seventeen Republicans.
AS specimen of sublime thick. head.
edness and gratritous misiniormation,
the above item from the West Union
Defender is thoroughly Democratic. In
the first place Seward has not majority
over Danford on the contrary, Danford
has l,074 more votes than Seward, &C.
cording to the official figures as given in
another column of the same issue OF the
Defender. Stewards plurality is owe. the
lowest man on the Republican ticket,
not over Danford. In she second place,
not enough Democrats voted to have
elected single elector, had all improp-
erly marked tickets, Republican and
Democratic, been counted as they were
evidently intended. OF course, il only
Democratic mistakes had been rectified
part of their ticket would have pulled
through, but, if Republican mistakes in
marking had also been rectiied, every
Republican elector would have received
the same majority as Danford and we
would have been spared the mortifica-
ton of having even one Democratic
elector.
