4 VISION AND 4 MEMORY.

The Leg has arrived in Los Angeles.
1t ia shapely Leg of the feminine gender
and it is approved by Senior Bald Head
OF the Front Row and Simpering Johnny
at the Stage Door.
Anatomcally this Leg is we'll nigh
perfect. Its contour is somewhat Doric,
it must be admitted, but the fact that
most of it is imported from Chicago
renders an ideal Ionic symmetry out of
the question, and we must content our.
selves with an inferior order OF srchi.

entire Limb did not emanate from Mos-
cow or Berlin, where this sort OF sculp-
ture is not chiseled by "a divinity that
shapes our ends" but is trough hewed"
as they may.
The Leg as it ia presented to no in the
present instance is pleasing. 1t appeals
to the most critical taste and it en-
hances the artistic instinct that wells
within us. Our appetite for the spectacu>

whetted by the boomered Leg OF the

yearning for is a complete exposition

POLITICAL JOBBERY.

Dan Burns and his crew of political
freebooters are desperate. The Demo-
cratic onslaught upon the election
frauds committed by Registrar Evans
heelers, strikers and stu uffsrs, has driven
the piratical crew to the bulwarks OF
their sinking craft. They must now
fight for their lives. The brazsn at
tempt 10 elect J. H. Mahoney to the
state senate has been productive of such
an outcry from honest men of all parties
that the men who have undertaken to
rule or ruin the Republican organization
in this state can find no other recourse
than technical assault upon the YER.
dict OF the people in the gubsruatoris al
contest. They have determined to use
the frauds perpetrated by their own
hirelings and servitors as a means by
which to impeach the right of Mr.. Budd
to the Office of governor OF California.
These desperate conspirators have Sc
lected P. B. Cornwall, chairman OF the
Republican state central committee. as
their bell wether in this absurd effort.
Mr.. Cornwall is one OF those eminently
respectable persons who rolls one eye
piously hesvenward while keeping the
other on the pocket OF his neighbor.
Mr.. Cornwall is we'll fitted to operate a
political job. having served thorough
apprenticeship and acquired a com tort
able competence in trade. But behind
P. B. Cornwall stands the Mephistophe.

his friend and trusty counsellor, poor
Tom Reynolds Dan Burns, who refused
to pay his attorney fer saving him from
the penitentiary; Dan Burns, execrated
by honest men and called Infamous by
those who, under compulsion of political
circumstance are his comrades in crime.
This is the man on whom the Repub-
lican party of California is compelled to
depend for prestige and the power that
results from organization. To his credit
has been placed the partial victory that

ence and mistakes of the Demo-
cratic party; on this man now
devolves the dirty work OF attempting
to defraud the people of theis right OF
choice, and the method he is adopting
is characteristic. He is using the frauds
OF the gang of political pirates hired by
his brother-in-law to make legal capital
against the man who was elected gov.
ernor of California. In this Dan Burns
will receive no comfort or aid from the
mass of the Republican party. The
fact that this so-called contest" does
not contemplate recount of the votes
is enough to condemn it az q despicable
trick. unworthy of even professional
manipulators and indecent enough to
commend itself only to Dan Burns, or
possibly to P. B. Cornwall.

THE POOLING BILL.

The railway pooling bill passed by the
house yesterday was debated through
out upon non-psrtisan lines. the repre-
sentatives dividing in opinion as to the
effect of the measure. Cooper OF Flori-
da and Daniels of New York sverred
that the railroads would use the plan to
increase rates and destroy competition.
Their opponents held that the interstate
commerce commission would have ef-
fective control, and that pooling should
be permitted and even enforced, espe-
cislly where competition would be- 30
injurious as to result in destruction OF
the public interest.
The measure recently received the
approval OF the convention of railway
conn ssioners, and the railways favor
it. Inc interstate commerce commis.
sion, in its annual report just su omitted
to congress, says that pooling without
other remedial legislation is inadviaable,

AMUSE MENTS.

Again the Los Angeles theater was
crowded with brilliant audience last
night to witness the second presenta.
tion of Aladdin, Jr., by David Hender-
cone American Extravaganza company.
The enthusiasm as the pictures were
revealed, knew no bounds. Beyond
doubt. Aladdin, Jr. is in every wsy-not
only in regard to scenic investiture and
brilliant yet harmonious coloring OF
costume, but in strength of cast-the
best production given during the thea
trical career OF David Henderson.
The Golden Glen. or resort Of Silver
Storks, is perhaps one OF the most dar-
ing bits of color that has been seen
upon the American stage. 1t is a scheme
of yellows. whites and pinks. 1t is un-
like any ballet heretofore seen in any OF
Mr.. Henderson's productions. The
dancing of the two premieres is alone
worth the price of admission. Irmlar lie

such as the aying palace. the pageant in

are entirely new to the audiences here.
Indeed the music throughout has never
been excelled in the past productions OF
this management. Aladdin, jr., will be
eeen il this city for only four more
nights. After the performance Saturday
night the company will leave on its spe
cial train of nine cars for San Francisco

but that pooling under proper conditions
and with effective remedial legislation
might be tried with safety.
The essential feature of the bill is the
one so changing the interstate commerce
law that railways may enter into
pools under certain prescribed condi-
tions. The contract must be in writing
and filed with the interstate commerce
commission for 20 days before it can go
into effect. II it is not disnpproved by
the commission it goes into effect, but
it is made the duty of the commission
to disapprove it, if it shall appear that
it will result In unreasonable rates,
unjust discrimination or inferior service
or otherwise contravens the provi-
sions of the law. Should it 60 into
effect, then the commission, which 10
clothed with plenary power, may, at
any time, il it deem it advisable, make
an order dieapproving the contract, and
in that event it shall determine at tho
date named in the order, not less than
20 days from it's entry. Should the
contract be disapproved in the first in
stance within 20 days, it can never go
into effect unless the United States
circuit court on review shall so decide,
and not then until the supreme cour
of the United States shall so decide,
should an appeal, as provided, be
taken by any of the parties to
that court. From an order disapproving
the contract after it goes into effect. the
parties may file petition in the circuit
court fer en- ordsr Of review. and from
the decision of the circuit court an ap-
peal lies in favor of any of the parties to
the supreme court of the United States.
In the meantime the contract is illegal
aud uneniorceable until that court shall
act. The practical effect is to place the
contract under the exclusive control of
the commission. subject to final review
by the supreme court of the United
States.

THE POOH BAH OF san BERDOON,

At the recent election in San Barnar-
dino county Mr.. ]. Wallace F. Dss, a
well-known newspaper man aud ex-
member of the Bohemian club of San
Francisco. was elected county clerk. Mr..
j. W. F. Diss OF RedlsIds, an orange
grower, banker and solid citizen, was
elected county auditor, and Capt. Wally
Dss. of the Ninth regiment. N. G. c., a
popular young gusrdsman and Republi-
can leader, was elected county recorder.
The three offices. in short, are filed by
one and the same man, a recent act OF
the legislature having telescope them
all into one in counties OF the size and
class OF our neighbor San Bernardino.
Mr.. Disc, who is now receiving the
three ply congratulations of his friends
on his triple success, has certainly
achieved phenomenal record as
campaigner, and one which should
recommend him to the future suffragee
OF his fellow citizens. To carry off
whole bagful OF honors at once, run.
ing neck and neck with himself in three
capacities at time, and winning hand
some majorities in them all, with. a
DOM bined majority that raises him sky
high above all the rest OF the ticket
these are evidences Of positive politi-
cal destiny beside which the star of
Grover Cleveland pales to tallow dip.
1t is darkly limited, however, that the
path OF the holder Of these com bined or
concentrated offices is not entirely free
from obstacles. Doubtless had Shakes
peare foreseen such case as this he
would have changed his famous line to
read, Uneasy lies the head that wears
three crowns." Ole cause of this un.
essiness is the question OF residence.
As county clerk Mr.. Diss must live in
San Bernardino, tho county eeat. AS
recorder he is allowed by the law to live
wherever in the county he may choose
to dwell, and his choice ia naturally
Redlands, his home. The auditor,
again, must live in San Bernsrdino.
against Redlands, and that enterprising
and growing burgh loses a citizen and
a citizaness, for Mr.. Diss ia married
man. Then there are great questions
Of responsibility, for as auditor Mr..
Diss will pass on all his own accounts as
county clerk, and as county clerk he
will oversee his own work as recorder.
All three of these officers being com.
psratively young men and none of them
aver having been in office before there is
Danger that Engagements may arise

HOw'S your Liver?

Have you got a liver? If you don't know, you're happy man. There's nothing the matter with you. If on the other hand the liver is out of order, you will soon know you possess such an organ. When it becomes overloaded owing to its inability to secrete bile and becomes sluggish or is congested through accumulation of blood in the veins; or jaundice is set up by catarrh of the passages of the bile; or what we know as ordinary liver complaint, as the result of nervous domination, is our scourge, not only is great pain the consequence, but all the light goes out of life and everything looks dark and gloomy and threatening, and we are very apt to look on the wrong side of things. The quickest and most efficacious remedy is the Carlsbad Sprudel Water, or if you can not conveniently take the water use the genuine Carlsbad Sprudel Salt (which is the solid evaporation of the waters), which will not only restore you to comfort but make you stronger all round and of a clearer; brighter and happier mind. 2 Look for the signature of the Eis- ner & Mendelson Co.,, New York, Sole Agents, on the bottle. None other is genuine. Price of the genuine Carlsbad Salt $1.O0 per bottle; large size $1.50.

AT CHICOPEE FALLS.

A Branch of Manufacturing Re-
 moved to Chicopee.
 Evelyn Bsecher. who has been at Chico pee Falls, Mass, the last two weeks super intending the erection of the machinery and equipment for manufacturing the Baldwin fodder and ensilsge cutter, re- turned to this city on Sunday. He goes back today to Chioopee Falls with his wife and father to remain there several months, after which they return to New Haven. The Beloher 6 Taylor Agricul- tural and Tool company of Chicopee has purchased the Baldwin plant and removed the business to that placs. This business was bought of o. Pierpont & Go. of New Haven. It was started some thirty years ago by Pierpont & Stevens, and has been conducted for the past twenty years by o. Pierpont & Go. at the corner of Park and Grown streets. MT.

The negotiations have been going on for some time between the firms and by next week the price vii be paid and the removal of the machinery and stock to the Falls factory will be made The firm of 0. Pierpont & O., as stated above, is about twenty years old and Ii one of the oldest and solidist msnufaetorie in New England, having large ssas of 1t products.
