THE people of Los Angeles in conven-
ton represented resolved to borrow
money to build good permanent roads.
They discovered that the present road
tax rate, applied to all property, city and
country, would pay for the use of the
money and repay the principal and main
would have the full benefit of the roads.
1t was a plain business proposition, not
at all involved, not calling for any new
burden, but actually providing a means
to new gains, since with good roads values
would appreciate and ease and rapidity
of exchanges be conserved. The Vernon
Farmers Alliance of Los Angeles
County thereupon resolved that the
scheme is bad one, because it means
'bonds." The alliance advises, instead,
the issue by the Federal Government of
legal tender paper currency. to be fur
per cent interest for use in making pub
lie improvements. If the financial wis
dom of the scheme be conceded. the plan
could not be carried out without affecting
in the House and Senate complete revo-
luton of sentiment. To do that. and Sc
cure legislative body and an Executive
from the people favorable to such a
scheme, means years of time; but the
probability is it never could be accom-
plished. In the meantime the people are
to trudge on in mud and dust, with loss
of time, motive power, and all benefits
of easy, rapid and inviting road trans
portation. In other words, the plan of
Vernon Alliance means halt in progress
for an indefinite period. The difference
between the 2 per cent and the or Il per
cent on bonds would not equal the cost
of one mile of good road per year If
Los Angeles waits for good roads until it
has received the money from the Govern
ment in greenbacks at 2 per cent. interest
on the advance, she will not have i'm
proved highways in this century, nor
perhaps in the next.

ANOTHER revolution in Central Amer
lea has been fought out and another fac
ton ambitious to rule has been downed.
This time it is the Ezets clan that has
been whipped. It is to be hoped that San
Salvador will now take a few months
rest. while some other of the Central
American sovereignties prepare to go on
with the rebellion comedy. For without
some of these petty States in a condition
of turmoil and war the average Central
American will be uncomfortable. Hon
duras. Guatamala and the Salvadorans
have enjoyed a season of military excite
ment, and it is to be hoped that they will
take rest for while and let the world
log on forgetful of their chickering's.

JOHNSON FOR CONGRESS.
"Themis " Warmly Commends His
Candidacy.

Candidacy.
From Sacramento Themis, June 3d.
Hon. Grove L. Johnson has been in
duced by his friends to become a candi-
date for Congress from the Second Con-
gressiOnal District, subject to the Repub-
lican Nominating Convention. Mr.. John
son needs no Introduction to the public.
His name has been household word for
many years. While in his professional
and political career he has made bitter
enemies, he has at the same time drawn
around him an army of friends. He is
one of those men whom his enemies must
per force admire for his towering abili-
ties and intense earnestness in all rela-
tions of life. AS a worker he stands pre-
eminent and the amount of labor he ac-
complishes is appalling. His tireless
spirit knows no such word as ''rest." He
has served with marked distinction in
the Assembly and Senate of this State.
AS debater there are few equals. In
parliamentary law and tactics he has no
superior. Experience and adroitness
make him eminently qualified for seat
in our National Congress. No man could
or would command greater influence in
that body OF men. Grove L. Johnson is
endowed by nature and experience with
the characteristics Of statesman. He is
eloquent to degree which moves and in
huences his fellow-man, and is absolutely
fearless of any man in any of the walks
Of life. In debate, in argument, in
repartee in legislative tactics. he would
take rank with the first order of states
men. The earnest desire for the welfare
of his constituency, with his intense
nature for labor, would make him most
valuable for this district and this State
on the floor of Congress. When it would
become question Of the interest Of his
people, Grove l.. Johnson would be un-
nring and would leave nothing undone.
1t is sometimes said that no Sacramento
man could ever receive the suffrage of
any of the mining element in this dis
trict. This is not true. Who does not re-
member that grand and impassioned
speech be made several years ago before
the miners and valley mems joint con-
vention? He rang out the keynote
which, when followed, would and will
protect the vast mining interests of this
State. The miners would have no better
friend, the valley would have no more
just representative than Grove l.. John
son. His clear conception Of the necessi-
ties of the situation, with his ability to
devise ways and means to consummate
the settlement aud final adjustment of all
controversy, make him, indeed, the man
for the occasion.

AT the time the salary of the City Ply
sician was reduced the REcoRD-UNIoN
nojnted out the unwisdom of the policy
and showed that no man could alone do
all the duties incumbent upon that of
ficer. and discharge them as they should
he. But the cut was made. and the Of
ficer deprived of the ability to have even
q clerk, without reducing his compensa-
ton to ridiculous figure. 1t has turned
out as the RECORD UNION anticipated,
and now we have the Board of Health
petitioning the Trustees to salary an as
sistant for the City Physician. If that is
done. the likelihood is that the city will
find itself paying more than if it had left

TheOsopby claims to be the body of

Adopts, who are its custodians, and the

HARPER'S
Pictorial History
OF THE
Civil w ar.

This great book has sold for years
at $I6 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I63xII3 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn't
afford $40 and kept asking for the
old "Harpers Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was SO inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so com
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 20 big parts, 81
big pages in each, and printed on
nice superintendent paper-better
than ever before-and has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as S.
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies Of
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.

WHEN resistance to removal of the
claim of right to maintain them was set
up. The RECORD UNION at that time,
and has ever since as occasion de-
manded, pointed out clearly and
forcibly that the owner of property
upon a street has no property right
IN the street except that of approach
over it to his own; that one has no more
right to plant post on the curbstone to
sustain a structure extending from his
house than he has to plant post in the
middle of the highway; that the streets,
from the line of property on one side to
the line of property on the other, belong
to the public, and that any obstruction
thereon is nuisance; that even if grant
to place an obstruction is made by the
municipality, it continues only at the
pleasure of the city. The Police Court of
this city had test cases on three points
submitted to it early in May, and yester-
day the court decided against the de-
PENDANTS. Elsewhere we publish full
synopsis of the decision. which in every
respect maintains the position taken by
the RECORD UNION. and declares the
settled law Of the highways in cities rel
ative to street Instructions and the main
tenance of nuisances upon the streets.
We invite the attention of readers to this
decision. 1t is so clear, so simple and
easily understandable that no person can
possibly misapprehend it or fail to under
stand the law of the case, which is, after
all, simply reason and good sense. Now
that the contention has been disposed of.
and according to principles that are as
old as the hills and that enter into the
basic structure of free government, let
the matter end and be no longer pro-
longed in the courts. Let the ordinance
be enforced and the last of the obstruc-
tions be speedily removed.

POSTAL NOTE RAISING.
How Young Man Filled His Purse In
,IacksouyiIlc.

JACKSONVILLE. FLA, May l6.-Last
Saturday a young man appeared at the
post-ofiice in Fernandina and purchased
seventeen postal notes, each for ten cents.
The notes were numbered from 1864 to
1880, inclusive.
The young man probably spent Sunday
in raising the notes from ten cents TO
s4lO each, for on Monday morning a
well-known merchant of this city pre-
scented one of the notes for payment al
the Jacksonville oost-oilce.. The clerk
called his attention 10 the fact that the
strip denoting dollars on the. side or the
note had been torn off, but as the mer-
chant was known. and as :postmasters
sometimes make the mistake or tearing
of strips. the note was paid. with the
understanding that the merchant shoulu
refund the money If the aote was d
fraud. /;
Postmaster Clark wrote tho Fernandina
postmaster. who photographed immedi-
a,oly that the notes had been drawn
for ten cents. and that seven
teen of them had been issued 10
one marty. After the merchant had pre-
scented his note two others came IN
for pavment-one from a lady ana an
other from a wel-known bank. The mer-
chant who presented the first note sald
that on Monday a stranger appeared III
his store and asked him TO cash postal
note. saying that he did not have time
TO go To the post-otiice. as he was IN q
hurry 10 catch train. Said the stranger
"'rhe note is for $40. but Just give me
e. and keen the ten cents for your trou-
blc.'
