SANKEY'S failure as stump speaker
will lose to the Conservatives the Lam
beth seat in parliament. The British
voter is great joker, and delights in
chatting the hustings orator. Stanley's
temper would not tolerate the playful
personal illusions of the bluff British
elector, and he sealed his fate by getting
angry and talking back too much. Even
the gallant efforts OF Mrs. Stanley to
placate the crowd by her wifely praises
of "the best man in England" failed of
the desired effect, and Gladstone can
count on the member for Lambeth.

The city council has decided to sub.
NIT the question of an outfall sewer to
a vote of the people. Los Angeles is
now in the position that she cannot help
herself, and must seek an outlet for her
sewage on the plan mapped out, whether
she likes it or not. All the inside work
has been devised and carried out with a
view to the construction Of an outfall
by the route selected, and we must
accept the proposition, or see our city
suffer with pent-up and imperative
internal sewerage system which is al
ready laid.

OUR WORLDS COLUMBIAN FAIR ILLUS
TRArED EDITION.

The HERALD will issue worlds Co
lunbian fair edition of the ILLUSTRATED
HERALD. Arrangements have been
made with the most finished artists in
America to insure the greatest perfection
OF detail to the illustrations. Aquarter
of million copies of this matchless
publication will be issued. 1t will be
printed on heavy book paper, and will
be distributed by uniformed boys during
the progress of the exposition, and the
distribution will be under the direction
of an intelligent superintendent, who
will see that each copy shall 60 where it
will do the most good. 1t will be de-
voted to Southern California, every por-
ton of which will be treated impair
TALLY. In few days accredited agents
of the HERALD will start out on the
work of canvassing the people in the
interest of this mammoth enterprise.
Those who can contribute advertising
patronage are expected to do so, while
almost anybody can subscribe for copies
to be either mailed east by themselves, or
distributed at the worlds fair through
the HERALD's agency. There is no rea-
son why the greatest boom ever known in
the history of Southern California should
not follow in the wake OF the Columbian
worlds fair. It is the mission of the
HERALD to see that this shall be the
case. The high standard of previous
editions of the HERALD is a guarantee
that this supreme effort will be Of excep.
tional merit. The aim will be to make
it nonpareil. 1t will be noted that in
this ambitious edition all the counties
of Southern California are to be in
cluded. We bespeak for this enterprise
the generous patronage which will un-
doubtedly be accorded to it, and which
in reality will only be bread cast upon
the waters, which will return before the
lapse of many days. This is the mis-
sionary era in Southern California. We
need people, and the HERALD proposes
to see that they shall get here, in great
numbers and OF the right kind.

Important a. th' q subject il 10 the
people Of the or ltsrn states. il il Of
vastly more imp' ktance to Californians.
In no other part Of the country are
poorer roads . be found than we have
IN this state 4. and nowhere else can good
roads pe SO cheaply built and easily
malntar aed. The loss to the farmer
and to 4 consumer of farm produce, ow-
ing = poor roads, is immense. Farmers
liv' ng at any distance from the market
to .wns are obliged to send their produce
20 market by rail; whereas. ii they had
good roads they could do their own team
ing and pocket the freight. After q
heavy rain in the winter many of the
roads leading to Los Angeles are inn
passable. The people who live far from
a railway station are compelled at such
times to stay at home. They are un-
able to get to market with their produce,
and thus they suffer loss and the city
loses their trade.
We can never have good roads under
our present system of road districts,
where the work is generally under the
charge of an inexperienced man, and
the amount of money available for re-
pairs is too small to be of any practical
use. The county should do the work
and appoint good, practical engineer to
see that the money is honestly and
judiciously expended. This course was
tried in Union county, New Jersey, two
years ago. 1t was vigorously opposed
by some, but after years trial OF the
new roads all the farmers are loud in
their praises Of the system. In another
column we print an article from the
American Agriculturist on these now
famous Union county roads. It will
we'll repay perusal. Mr.. Pope in the
circular to which we have referred, says !:
Good roads cheaper the cost of trans-
! portation by saving time, reducing the
wear of draught animals and OF vehicles,
and thus lessen the cost of material to
the producer and consumer. One of
the saddest signs of the times in the
older states is the tendency of popula-
| tion toward the cities and the abandon
ment of farms. The modern develop
| ment of ''slums," the wretched outcome
| of life in tenement houses, can be laid
largely to the bad roads existing in the
farming districts, which in certain
seasons OF the year prevent social inter-
course, making country life cheerless.
isolated and narrow. Churches and
schools are neglected when roads are
such as to make them difficult of access.
All this is very true, and we hope he
will succeed in his laudable efforts to
get up such an exhibit at the worlds
fair as will teach our people how to
make and maintain good roads.

The Express ought to be more careful
in drawing up its headlines. It utters
an accusation which is unwarranted
when it says in scare head that the
HERALD welcomed Colonel Otis to the
Democratic fold. We did no such thing.
Indeed we would require good deal Of
time to think the matter over before we
should extend our arms out to the
colonel, even if he had left the &. o. p.
and come over to the true faith. We
try to live up to the best tenets OF Chris
tian teachings, and believe that "whilst
the lamp holds out to burn the vilest
sinner may return" but Brer Otis is so
died-in-the wool an offender-he ia 90
indurated and perverse q radi-
cal of the black Republican
etripe-that we have our doubts
whether it would be the correct thing
to permit him to come into the charmed
inner circle of our political church with
out first furnishing hostages that he had
really found new life. We would-we
believe we would-require first that he
should give us evidence OF contrite
heart, and perform deeds meet for re-
pentance. AS we now calmly look upon
the situation, we are impressed with the
idea that we should require Brer Otis to
sit on the "cutty stooP' in the face of
the whole church for reasonable sea-
son before we could welcome him into
the sanct,tn, sanctorasm of our political
temple. The Express is rash, and says
more things in a minute than it can
stand by in month of Sundays.

An East Side dealer in New York was
lately made the object of a swindle that
was rather novel and original. A mid
die aged woman came into his store one
day carrying on her arm a large basket.
in which was a pot with a lid. She
placed the basket on the floor, made
numerous purchases, had her bill count
ed up, and then carefully put all her
articles into the pot and replaced the
lid with the greatest caution. She next
asked permission of the store keeper 10
leave the articles in his care, as she
wished to do little more shopping IN
the neighborhood, promising TO return
in the course of an hour.
This request was willingly acceded 10,
and lifting the pot out of the basket she
carried it carefully TO "a corner, where
it would be out of the way. set it down,
and again slipping the basket under her
arm, left the store, after profusely
thanking the man for his kindness.
Hours went by, but the woman failed
TO cali for her precious pot At last.
when closing time came, salesman
went over to the corner for the purpose
of placing the earthen ware IN safer
place, and quickly discovered that, like

supposed TO be consigned after death, Il

A Sumter county GA farmer, having
accumulated some property, decided
that he wanted to get married. He
went to Americas shortly afterward and
made known his desire to a well known
merchant. The latter agreed to help
him all he could and named over several
good looking women whom he thought
would make good and faithful wives.
Among others he mentioned two buxom
and comedy widows of the same name.
The matrimonially inclined farmer
decided that he wished to we'd one of
the widows. His mercantile friend
agreed to do the negotiating, and short
ly afterward called upon a certain lady
and informed her of the honor his bash
full friend wished to copgr upon her.
The widow, knowing that the farmer
was blessed with a pretty good share of
this worlds goods, expressed, without a
moments hesitation, her willingness to
join her lot with his.
Preparations were at once made for
the wedding. The day arrived and the
prospective groom procured q marriage
license and started for the nome Of the
future partner of his Joys and sorrows.
Just here the funny part of the affair
came in.
The farmer had never seen either Of
the two widows. Both bore the same
name and he got them mixed up in his
mind. The result was that he went 20
the wrong house. When he found him
self alone with the lady ne blurted out,
I've come TO marry you.
After moments hesitation the widow
confessed that she didn't care if she Gid
''step off, with him. They accordingly
proceeded to d preachers house, where
the twain We're made one.
a few days afterward the newly mar
ried planter came to tine city and went
to look for his friend. He was telling
him of his newly found happiness, when
the merchant suddenly exclaimed with
a grOan:
''AIercifuI heavens, man! You mar
ried the wrong widow
ooh. that don't make any difference, "
was the reply. I'm very well pleased
with the wife I've got. Exchange.

The Mischief That Rumor Does.

THE manner in which reports about
anything become exaggerated as they
travel from mouth to mouth on the Shout
ders of babbling rumOr was cOnspicU-
ously exempliied in my town ten years
ago." said o. J. Elgin, of Akron, O..
"About o'clock one morning runaway
horse dashed through the plate glass
window of one of the biggest banks in
the city The incident, of course, caused
considerable excitement for a moment,
and as the news of it spread through
town some nervous and eXcitable indi-
vidual connected the words run and
bank in an ominous way. This idiot
soon was convinced that there was run
on the bank, and he so told all the shop
people in his neighborhoOd. That was
enough. Nothing more was needed. By
12 o'clock that day there were hundreds
of money mad and frenzied men and
women around that bank scrambling to
withdraw their deposits.
"The broken plate glass window only
served to increase their excitement, and
ali attempts by the bank officials to ex-
plain the situation were howled down.
By the closing hour in the afternoon
thousands of dollars had been drained
from the vaults of the bank, and but for
other banks coming to the assistance of
the unfortunate institution that night
by distributing circulars around the city
telling depositors that they (the other
banks would cash all checks properly
certified on the bank with the broken
plate glass window the run would have
continued the uayt iav oT6 rpcIlltp1 in
