Handsomely Furnished.

The beautiful residence of J. F.
Cosby, just completed, at the corner of
Figueroa and Thirtieth streets, is one
of the handsomest structures in the
city. What makes it more attractive is
the artistic manner in which it has been
painted by Mr.. G. Stromee, the we'll
known house and sign painter of 2OS
West Fourth street, whose work is
always satisfactory and is invariably &C.
ceptable. Mr.. Stromee enjoys the repu-
tation of doing work at the most reason
able rates and is frat class in every re-
spect. 1t would pay you to visit the
residence of Mr.. Cosby and see the
elegant appearance of the residence,
from the fact of the good taste shown in
it's painting. Mr.. Stromee's place OF
business is at 208 West Fourth street,
where you will find a courteous gentle
man and honorable dealings.

The suit brought by Welch to declare
the new Australian ballot law unconsti-
tutional is looked upon by the leading
members OF the bar of San Francisco as
a farce. Its only effect will have been
to delay the announcement of the result.
The Golden Gate is specially prolific of
fool crotchets of this kind. In most
quarters Welch is looked upon as tool
OF Kelly and Crimmins, who, having
failed to carry the election, desired to
obstructit. Carroll Cook, of course, saw
fee in it. The money to maintain the
litigation is supposed to have been con-
tributed by the Republican Office hold
ere, who hoped to held over and con-
tinue to enjoy their fat salaries. 1t is
hard on sensible people that cranks
should be permitted to use the machin-
cry of the courts for Bedlamite purposes,
but it cannot we'll be avoided. The fool
killer is the only one who could get in
his work effectively, and he won't,
more's the pity.

are strongly in favor Of monometallism,
and without their cooperation it is
difficult to see how any measure favor
ing silver can be agreed upon. Baron
Rothschild is to submit plan OF proce-
dure for the conference tomorrow.
What that plan may be is not known;
but it can hardly be expected that it
will offer anything practical to rehabili-
tate silver. The debates in the confer
ence, as they reach the public, will
doubtless be cut down and to certain
extent garbled; but the general effect OF
the controversy will doubtless be to
set the people to thinking on this i'm
portant subject; and when they come to
realize that the contraction of the tang
ible money of the world to yellow metal
alone is to the injury of the debtor class
and must necessarily increase the finan-
cial power in all business transactions
OF the creditor class, they will perhaps
awaken to the appreciation of the great
value of bimetallism to the industrial
and commercial world.

THE meeting of citizens last night to
take steps to institute needed reforms in
the city government was largely at
tended. Several speeches were made
and suggestions offered, and commit
tee of fifteen was appointed to meet to-
morrow afternoon and deliberate upon
the measures to be urged upon the legis-
lature to carry out the objects of reform.
This movement is in its infancy but if
it is followed up with honest determine
tion it will result in great good to the
city and county. The committee would
do well to carefully consider the propo-
sition to erect Los Angeles and COM
pact territory outside the pueblo into. q
city and county government.

gates to the st. Louis Nicaragua conven-
tion, heard Mr.. Miller make this pledge.
That he meant it, and was authorized to
make it, there can be no doubt.
Both the national conventions OF the
great parties pronounced in favor of the
building Of the canal, and Mr.. Cleveland
approved of it in his letter of accept
ance. But there is no need of waiting for
the advent of the new administration in
order to place this great enter
prise on good footing. The
fifty-second congress cannot do better
thing than to pass Nicaragua canal
bill. Even il the $5,000,000 interest
should default for year or two, a
business-like scrutiny of the fraudulent
features OF the pension roll-mind you
we say the fraudulent portion would re-
coup the treasury five OF six times that
amount yearly. As both Harrison and
the Republican party are committed to
the advisability of the construction OF
this great work, it would be an excellent
idea to go ahead and guarantee the
bonds under proper restrictions. First
protect the government and then give
the guarantee.
1t is pleasant to know that Los
Angeles will be we'll represented at the
New Orleans convention. That body
will comprise q large number of the
representative men of the nation. We
notice that the attendance from the east
promises to be numerous and influential,
and the south is enthusiastic for the
completion of the canal at the earliest
possible moment. Senator Morgan, OF
Alabama, will preside over the conven.
ton. 1t should assume to speak with
authority az representative of the pro-
gressive and enlightened spirit of the
American people.
The day the canal shall open to COM
merce the lands of California will
double in value.

IT Is a little cheeky for a Republics

IT is little cheeky for Republican
paper to call upon the people to vote the
Republican municipal ticket if they
want good government. The only check
the people have now upon bad govern
ment is in the fact that there are some
Democrats in it. When the Republicans
had the entire city government to them
selves they ran municipal affairs in 30
extravagant and high-han6ed a manner
that the people became alarmed, and
at the last election they placed num-
ber of Democrats in the council and the
other city offices. The Democrats have
presented fine ticket. From top to
bottom there is not name on it that
will not bear the closest scrutiny, and
the people can make no mistake in sup
porting it. Good government will be
assured if it is elected.

A BAD PRECEDENT.

It is greatly to be regretted that the
recent action of the trustees of the
Stockton Insane asylum laid down the
bad precedent that politics should figure
in the selection of the person to be ap-
pointed as medical superintendent of
that institution. Governor Markham
should not have yielded go far to his
partisan prejudices as to imperil the ef-
ficiency of this class of institutions as to
permit them to be made the football OF
politics. Had he made his appoint
ments of.directors with view to nom
partisanship, no such misfortune to the
state could have occurred as to remove
a man simply because he was of differ
ent school of politics from that in power
at the capital.
For nearly thirty years, from the time
of Governor Haight, the administration
of our principal asylum has been free
from politics. 1t is the every worst thing
that could happen to our asylums to
plunge them into "the filthy pool of
politics." and this is what Markham has
done in the case of the Stockton asylum.
Institutions of this kind cannot flourish
where any other test thar that of fitness
is applied in selecting the men who con-
duct them. To put party test or a
factional test on the place is to enter on
the road to inefficiency, mal-adminis-
tration and scandal.
The conduct of an insane asylum re-
quires high skill and much experience
of kind that can be acquired nowhere
else and that is Of small use in any
other situation. II the position OF
medical superintendent is to be made
the football of politics and put among
the political offices of the state it will
not be easy to get competent physicians
to take the place. Ii the election
of a Republican governor means
that the superintendent must step
out in case he is a Democrat, or
if the man who is appointed under one
Republican governor must give up his
place when another Republican govern
or with another set of friends comes into
Office, it will soon happen that no man
of learning or reputation will take the
place. The man who is qualified for the
place cannot afford to take it for four
years. term if ne is to be turned out to
make room for favorite at the end of
that time. The place will therefore go
at last to unfit men whose only recon-
mendation ia their political belief or
their services to fraction of party.
There should be practically life tenure
of Office for efficient men, and no man
should be discharged on the ground OF
his political belief or for any other rea-
son than unfitness to perform the duties
OF his position. Furthermore when a
new medical perintendent is appointed
he should be in the full vigor of life, q
man who has twenty-five or thirty years
to devote to his profession and the
strength and spirit to see that the insti-
tuition is conducted properly.
It may be noted that the five institu.
tions of the etate are not connected, in
administration or conduct, each being
under separate board of directors,
electing its own officers and making its
own rules. A consolidation of control
and non-partisan policy are needed.

ESPECIAL TO THE NEWS. |

FALL RIVER, Nov. 29--Since the grand
jury adjourned without reporting on the
case OF Miss Lizzie Borden numerous
rumors have been spread about concern
Ing the affair - that Miss Borden and
Others would be indicted, perhaps Henry
G. Trickey and Edwin ID. McHenry-that
Miss Borden would 20 free-that Tricksy
and McHenry were missing-that John
V. Morse cannot be found-snd now il il
said that District Attorney Knowlton
and Attorney General Pillsbury cannot
agree.
Instead of the light being shed on the
dark places in the case there seems To be
absolutely no light as time goes on and
the mystery deepens rather than clears.
III II Is true that the district attorney
aud the attorney general cannot agree
how did IL happen that two lawyers, en-
ployed by the state as prosecuting officers
and presumably intent upon furnishing
the guilty. had quarrelled when taking
their first steps in "A most important case?
They had at their command a cloud of
witnesses, all of their own choosing and
jury practically under their direction
and control. Furthermore, how did il
happen that there were two prosecuting
ofiicersS District Attorney Knowlton
had been entrusted with the conduct Of
the case in its EARLIER stages and it was
well understood that his work had merit
ed the approval of Mr.. Pillsbury.
The fair inference was that the govern
ment could safely rely on Mr.. Knowlton
to submit his evidence to the grand jury,
aud that that body could be depended on
to arrive mt n just and sound concl usion.
Mr.. Knowlton's experience was varied;
he was not new or untried man. But
the moment that the jurymen in ques-
tion take their seats Mr. Pillsbury APP
pears on the scene, and when witness
after witness has been examined, the
news goes forth that the attorney general
has requested an adjournment aud that
he and his associate do not agree.
The statement has been made that no
new evidence was furnished the Grand
Jury at Taunton, but it would be inter
estinR TO know who is responsible for this
statement.
Fall River is still wondering at the ap-
pearance of Attorney General Pillsbury
been stated. ne wanted no bill un-
der the circumstances, it is strange
that short work was not made
OF the case weeks ago. All pro-
gress on the part of the police ceased
some time since, and by mutual agree
ment, tho attorney general aud district
attorney might have wound up proceed
witness after witness is examined. and
the labors of the district attorney and
police department having been finished,
the attorney general calmly sends the
jurymen to their homes.
When the grand jury again convenes.
the public may well expect additional
which will excite further
concerning the conduct Of the
case from the governments side Watch
the Taunton Jail for the next few days,
aud take notes on Miss Borden's visitors,
particularly those outside of her counsel
and circle of friends
