If SAN FRANCISCO has no other means
of securinga a reduction of railroad fir eight
rates than through the board of state
railroad commissioners, the city may
save itself the trouble of making fur
ther effort. If the wealthy men, the
great merchants and the rich capital
lists, who are interested in the prosper
ity of the city, are not willing to make
sacrifices to establish competitive roads
and to place steamers of their own on
the rivers, they can whistle for low rates.
A line of steamers between San Fran
cisco and New York would do the busi-
ness, if the moneybags of the metropo-
lis had the nerve and the public spirit
to establish one. Petitions to the rail-
road commissioners, forsooth That is

THE ILLUSTRATED HERALD.

The sales of this splendid publication
yesterday showed how responsive the
people of Los Angeles are to really
good thing. 1t is universally conceded
that the present number of this publica-
tion is the most artistic that has ever
emanated from this office. 1t is the
twelfth OF the series. 1t is scarcely too
much to say that the first number Of
the ILLUSTRATED HERALD started the
celebrated Los Angeles "boom." 1t has
stayed by "the works" ever since, and
it requires no prophet to announce that
this region is but in the initial of its de-
velopment. Southern California is
great, and the ILLUSTRATED HERALD is
it's prophet. 1t is already speeding to
the four corners of the earth on its
benefcent mission of demonstrating
that semi-tropical California is the true
Riviera of the globe.

WHEN a young lady who is not rich
not only puts all her jewels in the
church plate but the deed for her home
is also deposited in the contribution box,
she may be set down as either a sud-
denly converted enthusiast or reckless
lunatic. This comment applies, to a
young woman who did this very thing
in Brooklyn church last Sunday. In
yestigation showed that the young
woman worked for her daily bread as a
telegraph operator, and that what she
had placed in the plate was about all Of
her worldly possessions. 1t is perhaps
necessary to say that the rector of the
church has placed the property on de-
posit in trust for the donor.

WHILST we should not object to max.
ing the free coinage OF silver tenet Of
the Democratic party, it is not true that
she policy is policy of that party.
There are thousands of Democrats who
oppose free coinage, and other thou
sands who are monometallists. The Dem
ocrats of the eastern and middle states
are just as much opposed to the silver
bill as the Republicans; whilst the Re-
publicans of the western and Pacific
states are just as much in favor of the
Bland bill as the Democrats. The south
ern Democrats are not unit on free
coinage by long shot. So that when
Republican papers throw it in the
face OF the Democrats that they are re.
sponsible for whatever silver legislation
may be had, they talk nonsense.

The Man for the Position.

EDITORS HERALD: Kentucky may be
satisfied with the loyalty of John G.
Carlisle; 30 am I, but if any man nom
mated by the Democratic national con-
vention cannot carry the state of Ken
lucky, am not satisfied with the 10y
atty of that state. If the nominee of
the Democratic convention cannot carry
the grand old commonwe alth by &c, 900
majority, would advise the Democracy
to navigate Salt river from mouth to
source; would advise them to retire
from the political arena forever.
The Democracy demand az their lead
er in this great contest of 1892 man OF
intelligence, man OF well-known and
approved political opinions; they de-
mand statesman; they demand poll
tician in the highest, best and broadest
sense they demand a man we'll ac-
quainted with the affairs of this govern
ment, not only with the requirements
OF the hour, but with the demands of
the future. They demand man of
integrity, ability and Judgment.
They demand man who under
stands the relations of our government
with the other great powers of the
earLn. LII Ine TANKS OF the democracy
are scores of men who can fill all these
requirements. We have them scattered
in the north, south, east and west. 1t
doesn't make much difference as to who
he is. The man that propose for this
distinguished honor is not the best man
we've got; there are hundreds just as
good; but he's good enough. He has
demonstrated his popularity at more
times than one, and he can do it again.
He carried the Empire state of New
York by the largest majority ever given
candidate in that state; even larger
than Cleveland did. He carried it
again in 1888, Notwithstanding large
Republican majority; he carried it in
1890, and was the first Democrat to be
elected to the United States senate in
that state for years. He is Democrat
to the back bone, and his loyalty hae

ADJUSTMENTS.

Manager Wyatt of the Los Angeles
theater, in securing for his patrons Mr..
Leavitt's Spider and Fly company, gives
the public most attractive perform
ance, a fact which was appreciated by a
9. r. o. house last evening.
The affair is most brilliant success
from start to finish. The girls are all
good looking, all shapely, all attractively
costumed, though Mr.. Kenny alluded to
the mermaids last evening as being
chiefly dressed in seaweed and atmos-
phere; they are all good dancers; the
comedians are all funny and their
humor is all fresh; the specialties are
all new and excellent; the singing is
most enjoyable; the scenery good; the
costumes new and rich, and there is not
dull moment; not chestnut cracked ;
not a detail to complain of. What more
can theater-goer ask in spectacle
Space will permit mention of but few
Miss Royce, the Oceana, sings like a
California mocking bird. She is a native
daughter, and is as attractive physically
as she is musically.

wit which does not require any knock
down and -drag-o out methods.
Miss Caldwell looks most charming
and doubtlessly this evening will be
able to do the singing severe cold pre-
vented her from attempting last
evening.
Marcia and Libby Putnam as Spider
and Fly are two charming little morsels
of femininity. Their singing is
as sweet as their dancing is is
graceful, and their symmetry of
person ia not the least of their attrac.
tions. They are most talented young
women and deserved the many encores
they were given last evening.
Miss Georgia Putnam is as ENJOYABLE
Devil as ever displayed fetching
figure in red tights in a burlesque. Her
pretty face and graceful action won her
many admirers.
There are premieres who dance as
only English girls can dance, there is a
contOrtionist who outdoes anything of
the kind ever seen here before, there is
a juggler who throws crockery all about
the stage in his balancing tricks. and a
whole lot of features no less attractive
Altogether the affair is enjoyable. 1t

chosen temporary chairman and v. ". Bruce
OF Big Rapids secretary. Routine business and
conferences occupied the afternoon session.
Today delegates to the national convention will
be elected. A. s. Partridge, president OF the
Patriots Of Industry, is on hand trying to work
up sentiment favorable to fusion with the in
dustrial element against the old parties. but
the sentiment, headed by Prof. Dickie. is
strongly opposed to such a move. 1t is proba-
bic that the place for holding tie national con-
vention will be changed from ST. Louis to
Cincinnati. Michigan prohibitonists have no
choice for presidential candidate.
