THE president of the Los Angeles
Water company says that strong syn
dictate is willing to purchase all the
rights of his company, and supply
water to all parts of the city, providing
the city will grant it a fifty years fran
chise. At the end OF fifty years the new
corporation would turn the plant over
to the city free and clear of all incum-
brances. There would doubtless be q
strong sentiment amongst our people
against granting any company. on any
practicable terms, franchise to supply
this city with water for fifty years. The
present generation have an interest in
the water which they are not likely to
ignore. These people are firmly Of the
belief that the city itself should own its
water works; and after all, it would be
the consumers who in the long run
would have to pay for whatever plant
the proposed syndicate would put down.

A PECULIAR PLAY.

Mr.. Cleveland, on returning from his
trip to Louisiana, was struck by one OF
the ubiquitous reporters of the New
York World, who proceeded, after the
usual manner of his kind, to try to
pump him. The ex-president stood the
ordeal fairly we'll, but he has evidently
acquired Samuel J. Tilden's faculty OF
reticence. To an inquiry as to what he
thought of calling the New York state
convention on the 22d of February, he
simply replied that che hoped the day
would be pleasant, and that it was GER
tainly a memorable one." In this re-
gard the ex-president undoubtedly
shows more sense than many Demo-
Gratis and Mugwumps, the latter par
ticularly. To man up tree it does
not seem go important when the con-
vention shall do its work as that that
body shall truly represent the sense. oi
their constituents. Very likely, in
order to make the preference OF the
voters of the state of New York plain
beyond peradventure, Governor Hills
friends may postpone the convention
There is very pretty little play in this
matter. The Democratic and Mugwumr
friends of Mr.. Cleveland in New
York say that the convention was
called at such an early date in order tc
forestall the judgment of the country
at large. That is to say, they thinl
that the spectacle of unanimous dele

they wish to have time to bring outside

Hill to be magnanimous, but he has no

THERE has been a great deal of scan
dalously false telegraphing from Wash
ington OF late. and it has appeared ad
nauseam in certain San Francisco jour
nails that ought to know better, and
whose unquestionable enterprise ought
to be better employed than in dissem-
mating it. Take the case of the Exam
iner, for instance. The gentleman who
represents that lively journal in the city
of Washington has been telegraphing to
this coast all sorts of roorbacks about
the relations existing between Mr..
Blaine and President Harrison. Their
rank absurdity has been made glaringly
patent by the events OF the last three or
four days. According to this veracious
correspondent, the president and his
secretary Of state have been on terms of
downright hostility for some time.
Blaine was intriguing to capture the
Minneapolis convention and his chief
was about to kick him out Of his cabinet.

CRIMINALS are holding high carnival
in Chicago. At one station alone there
were no less than twenty-five complaints
of citizens who had been stopped by
footpads on Sunday up to 2 a. m. Some
of these had been knocked down, bru-
tally handled and robbed. 1t is always
unsafe to 60 out in any but the best and
most brilliantly-lighted streets at night
in Chicago; but even the streets that
were before considered safe are now in
cluded in those that are dangerous.
The fact is that Chicago is the worst
policed city in the world. 1t reeks with
crime, and the police in many instances
are confederates of the criminals. The
present mayor, when he went into Office,
made strong effort to purify the force,
but without success. Now that the
time for the fair is approaching, the
local criminal element is receiving rein
forcements from ali parts of the world.
By the time the exposition is in full
blast, every person who visits Chicago
will take his life in his own hands if he
ventures out after nightfall.

MAN WORSHIP.

The tendency to man worship in this
day and generation, and in a republic,
is something exceptional and reprehensi-
BILE. The oldtime theory in the United
States used to be that one man was as
good as another and d. no, a good
deal-better. This was primitive idea,
butit ought to have today as much force
as ever.
Why should the Democratic or Re-
publican parties be restricted to any
one man as their candidate for presi-
dent? Are they to replace the right
divine of kings by the divine right OF
personalities
The extraordinary prominence given
to Blaine in the calculations of Repub-
lican politicians was as noticeable as
was the pre-eminence of Henry Clay in
the old Whig party. And yet Mr..
Blaine, while most winning and mag
netic man, has never done anything to
indelibly impress himself upon the his-
tory of his country. The case was
entirely different with Clay, who
had been a most distinguished dip
lomat and the originator OF the extreme
protection theories which Mr.. Blaine
had championed most vigorously until
lately. The little, tentative effort of
Blaine to accord fair trade' to South
America, was simply a timid and partial
adoption OF Democratic ideals of states
manship. Yet the whole Republican
party is in mourning just now because
Mr.. Blaine is not to be their nominee.
This is the more extraordinary because,
from having been the extreme advocate
of Jingoism-his principal popularity
resting on his supposed twisting of the
tail of the British lion-he has become
very diplomatic kind of Lambro-
"the mildest hammered man that ever
scuttled ship or cut throat" Where
be now all his old time heroics? If
anybody has heard him breathe growl
against England since he became secre-
tary of state, either under the Garfield
or the Harrison administration, the fact
has not been made public.
This man worship is by no means an
unamiable trait. but it is weak and
enervating. The members of both the
great national parties ought to feel that
"no pent up Utica confines their
powers,' and that in the boundless
American continent there are many men
capable of gracing the highest political
station.

A MEMBER of the New York legislature
who was present at the electrocution oi
McIlyaine, declared that what he wit
messed was enough to shock the most
callous nature, and chat such executions
were cruel and barbarous beyond any
thing he could have imagined. He said
he would, as soon as he returned to AL
bany, introduce bill repeating the act
authorizing execution by electricity.
The shocked legislator is right. When
McIlvaine's body was handed over to
his friends, it showed that wherever the
point of electrical contact occurred, the
flesh was burned. The face was black
where the charged helmet covered it,
and the calves of his legs where the
electrodes were fastened, were deeply
scared. There is something that is very
revolving to the general mind in execu-
tion by electricity. An idea prevails
that however quickly death may be pro-
duced, there is an eternity of agony in
the few seconds of consciousness that
elapse between the letting on of the
current and the loss of sensibility. Why
not execute criminals by administering
to them narcotic poison? That would
be less barbarous than any of the modes
OF death adopted by civilized govern
mente.
