We do not know what steps the re-
publican convention will take to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation Of
Mr.. James w. Welch. 1t seems to us,
however, that Mr.. August Scherneckau
whose name appears on the Citizens :"
ticket as candidate for councilman
from the second ward, is a good, honest
aspirant, and a man in whose ability to
fill the position the Astorian has every
faith. Mr.. Scherneckau is an ardent
republican and would have accepted the
nomination on that party's ticket had
he been asked to do so. This being
the case, and knowing that he is a
man who will conserve the city's in
terests very ably and honorably if
elected, we step outside the party lines
for a moment to say that we shall be
well pleased to see him score victory
at the polls.

OUT OF HARNESS.

Mr. James W. Welch, who has de-
cllned the nomination for councilman
offered him by the republicans on Sat-
urday, and who in letter to the chair
man of the convention this morning,
announces his loyal adherence to the
party, has q record of six years work
in the council that he may well be
proud of. He has u good many enc
mies, as any man who holds his prin-
ciples higher than his pocket and Is
steadfast in his determination to do
right under all circumstances, is sure
to have, and he also possesses the
good will of host of friends. Mr..
Welch has been u consistent worker
for clean city government, He has been
an aggressive and obstinate figure in
our local politics for a long time, but
we feel 1t our duty to say that his
aggressiveness and his obstinacy have
always been displayed on the honest
side of municipal affairs. A few of the
gentlemen that he leaves behind him
in the council win throw up their hats
to see him so. They can now proceed
with sundry schemes of jobbery un-
molested, and viii be able to so ahead
without interruption in the beautiful
old Tweed principle of What are we

IT is THE TARIFF.

Some peripatetic prophets are fore
telling period of great prosperity fol-
lowing the passage Of the silver repeal
bill These prophets are of the dem
ocratic persuasion, and so treat tariff
agitation as If 1t were not. The New
York Times" takes the following rose
coored view of the present business
outlook:
Let business men and the people
generally pluck up courage and get to
work. There is no want Of confidence
now, and no occasion for any. The
country Is a little stiff and sore after
It's midsummer commissions, and II will,
of course, take little time to get into
condition for full days works. But
everybody should now go about his
tasks In good heart. 1t Is no time for
croaking or distrust or tlmidlty. The
first Of January ought to see all the
wheels turning and the people every
where active and prosperous"
This is a very beautiful picture which
the "Tlmes" paints, with the wheels
turning and the people prosperous The
"Tlmes" however, shuts its eyes to the
fact that the proprietors of great
majority of the factories are In 80
much uncertainty as to what changes
are to be made in the tariff by the
democratic congress, that they will on
ly produce enough goods TO supply inn
mediate demands, while a number of
factories are at a standstlll
At a town not a thousand miles from
Oregon where the new lace manufac-
tories made an excellent start and pros
pered under the Harrison administra-
tlon, giving employment to several
hundred hands, there Is mourning be-
cause the establishment has gone into |
the hands of q receiver. 1t Is easy to |
say that the passage of the silver bill |
will start the factory wheels moving |
and make people prosperous, and the |
"Times' " readers probably believe such |
statements, but the manufacturers |
don't. Tariff agitation will probably |
continue through the greater part Of
the next session of congress. and mean
while merchants and manufacturers will |
be in state of uncertainty as to the
rates of duty and the effects thereof |
upon the kinds of goods which they
are engaged in producing.
The passage of the silver bill win
have good effect, but 1t Is ridiculous
to advance the claim that Is made for
quacls medicine. that 1t will cure
every thing. The democrats have seen
fit TO upset business by holding over
the heads of business men for months

observant person is q witness to the

attribute all OF the stagnatlon in bus

months to the silver purchase law. one

IsIrA MISSED OPPORTUNITY

1t is really much to be regretted that
Los Angeles has not seen fit to come to
the front with movement to have
considerable representation of the
Worlds Columbian Fair exposition at
Westlake park, or at some other eligible
place in Los Angeles. 1t is somewh hat
NOR tifying that the suggestion should
have emanated from an enterprising
newspaper of San Bernardino county,
but we admit the remiasness of this city
to the claims which it might have readi-
ly urged upon the exhibitors at the fair.
In its issue of October End our San Ber-
nardino contemporary. the Courier,
says:
The suggestion OF the Courier that
Los Angeles secure the Midway Plais-
ance for winter exhibition and place it
at Westlake parkis meeting with much
commentator in that city, and if some
moving spirit would take hold of it, he
would secure plenty of backing. II it is
to be done move should be made i'm
mediately, for there are only twenty
five days of the worlds fair left, at the
close OF which the attractions will scat
as a nucleus for an exhibit the whole OF
Southern California would aseiet With
displays of fruit, flowers and othe, at
tractive features, making it one OF the
bes displays ever held in that city,
drawing and holding to Southerp Cali
fornia ali winter vast crowd OF tourists
that, without this extra attraction, will
go to the north end OF the state.
We are inclined to think that we have
been caught mapping. 1t is entirely
too late now to accomplish much in this
line. At the same time there is no
reason why we should not arrange q
splendid exposition Of Los Angeles for
the products OF Southern California that
will be O. enhancing interest to the
myriads of easterners who will throng
to thie eection. The midwinter fair is a
shrewd device OF the people of San
Francisco to divert attention from the
fact that that city has upon its hands
an appalling number Of distressed per-
SONS, for whom it desires to
obtain employment. 1t is also
ekilllul movement to cloak the
fact that there are six thousand vacant
houses in the Golden Gate. From this
poiat of view the project is entirely
admirable, but it does not seem to cell

siasm from the rest OF the etate. and
particularly from Southern California.
There are two old adages that apply to
the situation. One is that every tub
should stand on it's own bottom, and
the other is that charity begins at
home. Why Southern CsliforEis, in
especial, should be asked to contribute
to the aggrandizement of San Francisco
we confess that we fail to see, more
particularly in view OF the fact that 1t is
only very short while since the mer-
chants of San Francisco made most
determined effort to get the managers Of
the Southern Pacific railway company to
deny to Los Angeles the privilege Of
through rates from the East. seeking to
reduce this city to the old condition Of
vassalage to the toll-taker by the sea.
We are afraid that our own Chamber
of Commerce missed the opportunity of
it's life when IL failed to initiate move
ment for q Midwinter Fair. in Los An
geles. Where else should such an ex-
position be held? Where else, except
in the Angel City, or in some other
central and attractive portion OF this
sub-tropic land, would the visitor be 90
forcibiy impressed with the inimitable
charms OF the American 1taly-to en-
ploy the designation OF Charles Dudley
Warner-as in Los Angeles?

THERE'S NO TRUTH In 1T.
FATHER SCANLAN NOT APPOINTED
THE BISHOPS COADJUTOR.
The Report Grew. Out of . Meeting
Held for Another Purpose.
Bishop Mora Dis
credits 1t.

= The HERALD yesterday learned that
the story telegraphed from San Fran
cisco to the effect that Father Seaman
has been appointed coadjutor to Bishop
Mora of this city. who is in charge OF
the diocese of Monterey and Los Angeles,
10 merely a rumor growing out OF a
meeting in San Francisco last month.
The San Francisco Call, which printed
the report yesterday morning, must
certainly have done 30 without any
research as no appointment can be made
by the pope before q meeting OF the
propogande in Rome November 18th.
1t was learned on good authority yes
terday that ofthe three names submitted
to the pope the name OF Father Scanlan
was omitted, which makes the story
wholly improbable.
Bishop Mora was interviewed last
evening regarding the story, but he had
no statement to make beyond discredit-
ing it. He was satisfied that there was
no truth in the report, but desired to
wait until the matter Is abated before
making public statement.
The truth of the matter is that the
conclusion was drawn from q meeting in
San Francisco last month. The real
work of the meeting was mistaken for
recommendation to the pope for the
appointment OF coadjutor to Bishop
Mora, hence the story.

never before in the history of the local
stage has such portraiture of exciting,

presented here. The story of the play
has to deal with scenes and interesting
characters in England, and vivid ami
nation of oriental splendor in the

corps, 18 changes of ornamental scenery

liant scenes in the marvellous pro-
duction. Among the notable scenes
presented during the several acts are
picturesque view Of Stonefield farm,
where the golden glow of generous
sunset changes into fearful thunder

large audience with readings from his
own works descriptive of scenes among
the Creoles. His presentation of the

much applauded. The discussion of civ
ilization and the climate between Auro-
ra, Clotilda and Frowenfield was amus-
ing. Frowenfeld, in grandiloquent Ian
guage, criticised severely the cases and
customs OF the south, but his compan-

ions but tacitly concurred in them by
the only remarks which they offered,
which were, "Of course" or "Perhaps

latter's residence BY the Perris Valley
band. After the serenade the house
was thrown open and those present en-

was entirely impromptu, but Webster
and the governor were equal to the oc-

Toasts and responses were made by the
governor, Mr. Webster, Col. II. A.
Plvmpton, j. w. Nance, Col. Henry
Bell and j. w. Anderson, district attor-
ney Of Riverside county. The governor
made neat speech mplmenting the

such perfect system of irrigation as it
possesses.
Governor Markham will remain here
couple of days longer when he will
return to Pasadena.

His bid was $1,13l, ,244.1S for the fran
chise, sl7, ,476.S6 for personal property
and $165.60G for real estate and shares
in branch lines, making total of
81, ,344, ,320.4S. The sale was made sub
ject to s6l. .96l.98 worth of receivers
certificates, if they are adjudged valid.
Several capitalists of San Francisco,
heavily interested in the property, and
attorneys from San Francisco and Chi
cago, representing various bonded in
terests, were present at the sale. The
purchase OF the system by the Electric
road is in accordance with the plan OF

has been pending for some time.

WHILE our amiable brethren OF San
Francisco are very anxious to have
Southern California walk into their par
lor, on the spider to the fly principle, it
is noteworthy circumstance that the
great irrigation congress, which is to as
semble in Los Angeles next week, is re-
eeiving absolutely no attention whatso-
ever from the press of Northern Cali
fornia. The enthusiastic individual of
Southern California that lies awake o.
nights thinking that his northern bro
ther cares for him is very much deceived
indeed. The amount of interest taken
in Southern California by San Francisco
and the counties around the bay, and to
the north of that splendid spread OF
water, is best represented by the classic
phrase "deuce aces"
