rHs NEW YEARS HERALD.

On New Years day the HERALD will
get out notably fine edition, with a
view to its availability for circulation
at the Midwinter Fair. 1t will be the
largest daily paper ever issued in
Southern California. and, with two ex-
ceptions, the largest ever Issued west of
the Rocky mountains. 1t will be pro-
fusely illustrated, and will be full of in
teresting and reliable statistics. 1t will
also be the largest edition OF any daily
paper ever issued in the state outside Of
San Francisco. Its desirabillty as an
advertising medium can therefore be
appreciated. Tens of thousands OF this
publication will be circulated at the
Midwinter Fair. many of our public

iarce comedy called The Bridegroom
The play is of the same nature AZ those

1t is full Of bright lines, good situa-
tions and fun-rather broad at times
but still good, honest fun.
The play, in fact, was much better
than the company, who did their best
To spoil it, but not knowing their lines.
Miss Burk hart, who, by the way, has a
most charming lisp, and Mr.. Gustave
Yorke did the best work OF the evening.
Il WAS rather surpriee to those who
have eeen Mr. Dickson'a usually careful,
conscientious work, to realize that ne
had put on play before he or most of
his company were letter perfect in the

THE last financial circular of Henry
Clews is Of the "live horse and you will
get grass" order. 1t notes the dullness
in the New York stock market. but
offers the following contingent consola-
tion:
The tariff question continues to keep
business in an unsettled condi-
lion, and may be expected to do
so until the new duties are finally
fixed. Consequently, the best that
can Do anticipated, for the next few
weeks, ie a hand to- mouth busines. Dis
coursging as this prospect may seem, it
is not without some alleviations. A
market of exhausted stocks has always
certain advantages over glutted one.
Makers and holders OF merchandise, in
such conditions, have it in their power
to support prices and to make profits,
though it be upon largely reduced sales.
Nor is it to be overlooked that the tariff
prospects and the depression OF business
are combining to exclude COM
petition from foreign goods, and
hence the large falling off in
the current imports. There can
be no doubt that, in most branches Of
trade, the production still continues
mucn oehino the consumption. Inle
foreshadows AN ultimate exhaustion of
jobbers' and retailers stocks to point
that will leave large vacuum to be
filled, in the filling of which manufac-
turers should be in position to obtain
fair prices. II is therefore to be expected
that 80 coon as the new duties are set
tied, there will be a considerable revival
of industrial activity. That re.starting
of production will give more general
employ yment to labor, and the working
million will gradually resume it's wonted
position as an element of demand, and
the country will step by step regain its
wonted prosperity. Daring the inter
vening period of inactivity, business can
only remain severely contracted, but the
country will feel that it can afford to
wait provided there is a hopeful pros
pect beyond.

A MBNACING CLOUD.

1t is downright appalling-the cloud
OF villainy and bankruptcy that is invest
ing the corporations OF the United
States. No sooner is one gigantic col
lapse announced than it is followed by
another. Object lessons are multiply
ing with startling rapidity. The latest
expore relates to the management of the
Northern Pacific railway, whose mana
gers are accused Of stealing outright
s60, 900, 900 from that corporation. or
course no sane man doubts that the
facts sustain the allegations of the
stock kLolders. In the mad whirl to get
rich, and to get rich soon, honesty has
become an exotic in the United States.
Receiverships follow each other with
lightning rapidity. There has certainly
never been a period in the history of
this country when allegations Of fraud
have been half as numerous as now, or
half as well sustained. 1t is really dis
couraging the wide sweep OF the conf
dence man. He sts in high place
and poilutes it. He destroys all
trust in his fellow man. In the case
OF the Northern Pacific road the robbers
seem to have done their work so com
pletelv as to put Lambro the Pirate to
shame. In the very nature OF things
there Inust, sometime or other, be re-
volt at this whited sepulcher phase OF
guilt. 1t would justify revolution and,
ii not checked, will be productive OF
both revolution and bioodshed. In this
overgrown corporation We have the re-
markable spectacle of liabilities exceed
ing three hundred and thirty millions of
dollars. The old thimblerig game OF
buyingn no account branch roads by the
directors and other parties in interest,
and saddling them on the company for
ten tines the price paid for them, has
been resorted to, and on scale OF un-
exampled magnitude. What ought TO
be done with a villain who has cheated
Oh q mammoth scale and aggravated his
crime by betraying his trust? In our
opinion he ought to be hung. In France
he is ordinarily sent to the galleys. The
penitentiary is too good for such

4. BASCOM COMES BACK.

San Diego Union: Bsscom A. Ste
phens, the erratic. the volatile. is again
likely to draw the public gaze toward
him. He has returned privily over the
Mexican border to San Diego. and for
several days past has led q life exempt
from public haunt, escaping recogni-
tion by means OF personal disguise and
the obliteration Of his once fluffy NOUS
tache. An absorbing desire to learn
when he should be joined by the new
partner OF his sorrow, the recent Mrs.
McClery OF Los Angeles, constrained
Stephens to interview the officers of the
Carlos Pacheco yesterday, and they rec
ognized him through his disguise.
When Stephens deserted his wife and
family in Los Angeles and went to Enee-
NADIA with his spiritualistic friend, Mrs.
McClery, he announced that he would
begin the publication of a monthly to be
called the Mexican Fruit Grower. He
is said to have enlisted the sympathy of
Editor Box OF the Lower Californian,
who gave him paper, etc. Other parties
assisted Stephens in various ways, and
he mads Q short but gallant struggle to
get his periodical started. The project,
however, died a.borning, and lapsed
into the limbo OF brilliant but impossi-
BILE things.
Frosty weather followed. Bills piled
up, and even the stolen love OF another
mans wife failed to sweeten Bascom's
lot. In despair he shaved off his
mustache and started out TO coyote
his way back into California. finally
reaching the line and leaving behind
him the peninsula, whose destinies were
once SO nearly in his and Walter &.
Smiths hands. He left Mrs. McClery
in Ensenada, giving spiritualistic
seances ior her board. She is expected
to arrive on the next steamer, to join
her Bascom here. Her husband, good
easy man, lives in Los Angeles. and he
has been so far aroused as to hint OF ap-
plying for divorce.
Meantime, while Stephens is skulk-
ing about to escape warrant of arrest,
his lawful wife and children are living
in utter destitution in this city. Mrs.
Stephens was unaware last night that
her husband had returned from Lower
California, and did not appear to be
overjoyed with the news. She will ap-
ply tor divorce.

expert in silverware, to go into our stock. Now,
we find we have too many sugar bo wis,
and some OF them must CO. They must
make room for other varieties of stock. There
is bus one way to make tn sm go quickly. That
is by 10 9ering the price to bottom figures, ana
that's where you reap the benefit. We do not
offer them below cost. That would be folly;
but we will sell them for exactly what they cost

it would be as melancholy as the public
execution of madman in response to q

ton of Guitesu. who was as mad man

persons who think that crazy people with

MELoDRAMATIC AFFAIR.

The people of California are loaded
with melodrama up to the eyee. The
probability is that nine out OF ten Cali
fornians have at the bottom OF their
hearts a sentiment OF quiet satisfaction
that Chris Evans has escaped. The
jury that failed to bring in hanging
verdict undoubtedly mad great sym.
pathy with Chris, while the authorities
who have control OF the Fresno jail
must have loved him like a brother.
The story of the escape is almost an
exact reproduction OF that of Billy the
Kid, which took place while Gen. Lew
Wallace was Governor OF New Mexico.
Will Evans escape tor good this time =?
1t is hardly possible that he can. Every
day we see evidences OF the inability OF
Q criminal to long evade justice AS
matter tested BIZ experience, he is far
safer in the neighburhood OF his crime
thar in foreign country. fortunately
the United States is the only region in
the world that is not overrun with Il
rash OF mawkieh namby-pambyism
With the exception Of England and
Canada. all other countries. both in
Europe and South and Central America,
surrendera criminal to the authorities
of friendly power whether there is a
requisition law in existence or no.
From the lively fusillade which at.
tended Evans's exit from the jail we are
justified in looking for more bloodehed
The gentle Chris, like Xack Chandler OF
old, believes in little bud letting.
AS, according to California miiksoppery,
he can kill people with impunity. we see
no reason why ne should not indulge
himself in this amiable penchnnt.
Human life is evidently the one thing
in California that counts for nothing
1t is just possible that the people OF
Fresno may have something to say to
their sheriff and taller. although thatis
doubtful. The BOARD of supervisors,
however, will scarcely render them a
vote of thanke.
