THE periodicity of murders and sui
cides has frequently been dwelt upon.
1t has been illustrated hereabouts OF
late by two suicides following upon the
failure OF bank in San Diego, and by
one which occurred in Los Angeles
within few days thereafter. The pres
ident of the San Diego defunct bank
shot himself in the mouth. Nothing
would suit depositor, who had lost his
money in the exploded institution, but
that he must follow suit by also plump
ing himself in the mouth. Thereupon
an Angelefio throws bullet into what
the prize-fghters call his "potato trap"
1t would be interesting to know just
what the law governing these sequences
is. tits just possible that the thorough
ness with which the work is done causes
a man contemplating .telO De Sc to select
q method that has proved efficacious.
It would look very much, however, as if
the depositor would scarcely like to
show any Difference to the methods of
his spoliator.

scription for doing it forever,
and his agony is unspeakable
when he encounters victorious Demo-
cratic leadership that makes continu-
ance of the abuse impossible. Its abili-
ty to Doodle and pray at the came time
has been the most dangerous element in
the ascendency OF the Republican party.
A man who, while giving you most
admirable text from scripture, or a
virtuous precept from the pious Watts
or Thomas Kempis, is running his
hands through your pockets, is to be
closely watched. He beats an ordinary
rogue all hollow. The HERALD would
by no means insinuate that the masses
or majority of the Republican party
are of this kidney, but precious lot OF
the leaders are, and this has been es-
pecially true of New York. Tweed was
made potential for evil by the fact that,
for every corrupt Democrat controlled
by him in the legislature, he owned a
more corrupt Republican. The re-
sponsibility OF governing the premier
commonwealth of the American union
now devolves upon the majority, as it
ought to do. 1t is absurd to say that a
party thathas only elected Republican
governor once in eighteen years-and
that through John Kelly's running in
dependent, to defeat Lucius Robinson,
the Democratic nominee have
been allowed to play so material part in
making the congress of the United
States Republican. The constitution o1
| the state called for the taking OF state
census. The Democratic party has
carried out the law, and car
ried it out fairly. And that is all there
is to this great Republican hullabaloo
The CALLED jade winces because its with
ers have been wrung.

LEN HARRIS'S WOUNDS.
An Unsuccessful Attempt to Locate a
Lost Bullet.

An Unsuccessful Attempt to Locate a
Lost Bullet.
Len Harris, the Southern Pacific de-
tective who was SHOT by train robbers
near Modesto last fall, will recover, says
the San Francisco Examiner of Satur-
day. When he was picked up the night
of the robbery, after load of buckshot
had been fred point blank at him, it
was thought his last piece OF detective
work had been done.
Harris has been long in the employ of
the Southern Pacific company, and he
who ever got close enough to train
brought to his home in Alameda and the
company gave him the best surgical at
tention to be had. OF the several bull
lets which struck him, only one gave
the surgeons serious trouble. That one
struck him on the right side of the neck.
1t could not be located. The other
wounds healed readily, but there was
partial paralysis of the right side which
the surgeons could not account for ex-
cept upon the ground that the bullet in
the neck had wedged among the nerves
that leave the spinal column at that
point. To remedy, if possible, the
paralysis trouble, Harris was taken to
the French Hospital on Bryant street, a
few days ago, and Wednesday an at
tempt was made to find and remove the
bullet. The operation was unsuccessful,
but the patient stood it we'll, and is
steadily improving. Whether or not ne
will regain the use of his right arm is
conjectural.

THAT new census was required for
the state OF New York is shown very
clearly by the results of the state con-
ventiop. Mr.. Porter's federal officials
had simply cheated the Democratic
party out of about three or four hundred
thousand inhabitants within short
radius of the center OF New York city.
Brooklyn alone suffered to the extent of
about one hundred thousand. That this
was intentional cannot be doubted. 1t
helped the Republican party to an un-
just influence in both the state and
national Legislatures. The gerrymander
of that great state has been the most
signal political crime of the past forty
years. And yet our esteemed friends,
the enemy, can howl over it's rectiica-
ton as if they were the most injured
people in the world. Having oppressed
the Democracy for years the New
York Republican claims pre-

whole noisome business was the appoint
ment by Harrison of Judge Wood, who
went out of his way to shield Dudley
from effective prosecution, as judge of
an important circuit in the United States
court. These little incidents in the
career OF the inheritor OF his grand
fathers hat are having most disastrous
effect on the standing OF that public
functionary. 1t is calmly assumed in
many Office holding quarters that he is
sure of denomination and election, but
the indications are not strong as to the
first, and decidedly weak as to the last.
The signs are gathering that his
strength in the convention will hinge
largely on the office-holding constitu-
ency from the south, while the revolt
from his continued leadership of the
Republican party is gaining great mo-
mentum in all other sections of the
country. The fact that his ofice-hold-
ers were solid for Arthur in 1884 in no
whit availed to stem the tide that was
running strongly for Blaine. Arthur,
unlike Harrison, was personally very
popular man. For various reasons this
is not the case with the latter. He is
regarded amongst the mass OF the Re-
publican leaders as autocratic, super
cilious, hypocritical and finicky. He is
particularly unpopular in California,
and it would require herculean effort to
obtain for him the control of the Callfor-
MIA delegation. Democrats really re-
gret this, as he is unquestionably the
prominent member of his party that
could he most easily defeated.

A VERY characteristic thing on the
part of the Republican journals was the
manner in which they discussed the
possibility of Senator Hills taking the
$4,000 for the fret year of his term as
United States senator. If he had taken
the salary they were, one and all, pre-
pared to comment on his rapacity, with
copious diatribes upon man who could
accept unearned money, and 30 on. Now
that the senator has declined to pocket
the money they are eloquent in describ-
ing him as posturing for effect. Truly
truly, it is hard to please some people

THE name OF Gov. Horace F. Boies
of Iowa is beginning to figure very
prominently in the eastern press in con-
nection with the Democratic nomina-
tion for the presidency. The New York
World, the other day, had whole page
devoted to his career, and it was embel-
lished by likeness which shows him to
have a strong, determined, truthful and
withal genial face. He is an essentially
honest man, and wins all with whom
he comes in contact. 1t looks to us
very much as if Governor Boies had the
face of vice-president. If he should
attain the higher dignity the HERALD
has no doubt he would exempliiy the
best traditions of the Democratic party.

IT HAS been pretty clearly established
that President Harrison himself was a
particeps criminis in the Dudley "blocks
of five frauds" in Indiana, and that he
directed the distribution of the corrup-
tion fund. The evidence on this head is
not in as complete a shape as that pre-
sented by judgment in court of law,
but the Indianapolis Sentinel has made
an overwhelming presentation of the
circumstances, and which embody a
violent implication in that direction. A
damaging circumstance is that every
official who was in any way concerned in
these frauds was given fat Office. Per-
haps the most offensive feature of the

IT SEEMS to be pretty generally con-
ceded in San Francisco that the present
Republican ''boss'' rule of that city is
far more oppressive than the old Buck
ley regime. The of1ice-holding clique
are if possible worse than their prede-
cessors, the supervisors are as venal
and the probability is that bad as things
are now worse remains behind.

A Restaurant Entered and Its Pastry
Made Away With.

Made Away With.
The Midget restaurant on First street,
near Main, was burglarized on Saturday
night and despoiled of a lot OF pies. The
thief entered the place from the rear,
and after gorging himself with pies and
disdaining any other booty, he unlocked
the front door and went out, locking it
after him and putting the key in his
pocket.
Officer Hawley Yesterday morning ar
rested man named Sopr on suspicion
of having committed the pie burglary.
He had worked in the place, but had
been discharged on Saturday. A key
that fitted the front door of the restau-
rant was found in his pocket.

brief period the authorities may have been
one Of the causes that settled this conviction
in tho mind OF tho president. BE this as it
may, Secretary Foster Is said to have
recommended in his report that the control
Of all quarantine matters be placed IN the
hands OF the marine hospital service under
tbs authority OF tho treasury department
md IL is understood that the president will
advance the recommendation in bis mes
sage.
The reasons for placing quarantine regu-
tions under the control OF tine national gov
eminent are humorous, but the principal
argument for this step is that, beside Sc
curing uniformity of regulations in all
ports, It would place the power in the hands
Of the federal authorities to oct at once at
every sea pert and at every point on the
frontier to ward Off any contagious disease.
When il is considered that carelessness on
the part OF a single State or n single city
might lead to the introduction OF such q
disease as cholera throughout the country,
tho Importance OF the step suggested at once
becomes evident. II President Harrison
makes this recommendation Congress ought
to carry it into effect at the earliest oppor-
turitv
