IF CLEVELAND SHOULD DIE?
He Is Evidently Failing and the
Presidents in Bad Shape.
A Marked Decrease in His Vital Force,
as Shown in His Public Acts
Speculation on the
Result.

The reports which have come from time to
time over the wires concerning the health OF
President Cleveland have produced the gravest
apprehenslons on the part OF his followers con-
corning the chances OF his living to serve out
his term Only those facts concerning his
health which it has been impossible TO keep
from the public have leaked out through the
crevices of the White House and blown into
the an xious and eager public ear II Is safe to
say that his zeal condition has at no time
been made public and that his health Is, in
deed, far worse than the public have at any
time been told is hardly without question.
If President Cleveland should die what
would be the result? Would there be a change
of policy of the administration that would
materially affect the hopes for the tariff bill
Would there be a revolution within Demo
cratic lines Would the party propel itself
farther toward free trade or retreat withil the
lines of protection? Speech alton may well run
on the questions which might follow Cleve.

only one that has any great pretensions
to merit in the way OF dwelling. But
the whole country about there has the

we'll as permanency.
In the course of conversation with a
fruit grower he said the deciduous fruits
showed most noticeable advance over
the crops of last year. It has been no.
ticed that these fruits have always yield
ed most sbundantly in summers that
followed upon OK tremely cold and stormy
winters, provided there we're no very
late frosts. Apricots are looking exceed
ingly we'll and so are the peaches and
plums. and there is no orchard but will
yield abundantly if properly cared for.
just now Southern California, espe-
cially that section which is Immediately
tributary to Los Angeles. need not ask
to exchange places with any other por-
ton OF the American continent. She
has no cyclones like Kansas, Nebraska
or Dakota; no devastating floods like
those of Oregon, Washington and Brit
ish Columbia, and no industrial riots
like those of the far eastern states.
Peace and plenty, order and law, prog
ress and prosperity, are the portion OF
Southern California, the most favored
part OF Gods footstool.

portfolio opens with one OF the match
less cameragraphs or views OF scenery
printed by the sums rays in natural
colors. The subject is the famous Sitka
bay Of Alaska, aud the blue waters, the
emerald islands, the great forests and
snow-capped mountains are shown just
as they appear to the eyes of the tourist
standing on the dock OF this beautiful
harbor. The wonders OF the Yellow
stone are continued, aud these grand
works OF nature are shown most faith
fully. Nothing in ancient Greece or
Rome or in modern ait centers begins
to equal these templss, monuments and
pillars of the Yellowston, carved out by
volcanic and glacial action, possibly
hundreds OF thousands OF years ago.
The geysers and hot springs are pictured
and some invaluable information to in"
valids is given. HelPs Half Acre,
as one OF the most wonderful
OF the Yellowstone districts has
been aptly named, is graphically
illustrated, including the great Excel.
sior geyser. the largest in the world. Its
mouth is 200 feet wide, and in one pic
ture it lie shown in action. Cupid's cave
is scene of rare beauty. and Old Faith
full, as a remarkable geyser of the lower
basin is named, is also shown in action.
For centuries this geyser is said to have
regularly thrown up volume of water
$50 feet high every 81 minutes, never
varying 9 second during the recent
period the record has been kept Rustic
falls, another beautiful resort OF Yellow
stone, is pictured, and will be recognized
by all who have been in the great ma
tional park. There are a number of
other scenes OF the natural wonders of
this, possibly the most singular district
in the world. 1t will be of great interest
to all who have so far enjoyed the pre-
ceding numbers of the series.

WE HAVE received from Gen. Samuel
w. Backus, the postmaster at San Fran.
cisco, brochure under the title civil
Service" in which he makes a rather
clever appeal to have the n,odtS operdndi
of their new political fad applied to our
state, county and municipal govern
ments. Civil Service is only another
word for bureaucracy, which is most Of
fepsive to American institutions. 1t has
sheltered more hypocrisy and is respon-
sible for more political persecution than
anything ever sought to be introduced
into our political institutions. AS q
purely ideal device, intended to be used
in Utopias. it would do very well. In
practice it simply means that before you
dismiss man from Office you must apply
yourself to destroying his character. That
there are certain clerical places in which
the occupants should be left undisturbed
is of course true. But their number is
by no means so large as ia claimed by
The advocates OF this pseudo political
reform. 1t is a matter very we'll under
stood amongst those who have had OPP
portunities Of observation that the pa
pers needed to enable an applicant to
pass a civil service examination have
been hawked around and sold. The
Hystem ia capable of great abuses and it
has been greatly abused.

ON TIE CONTRARY QUITE rHB REVERSE.

The always repudiated Times is busy
just now killing off aspirants for office.
In its issue of yesterday it devotes itself
to Strengthening Ex-Governor Sheldon by
announcing that that gentleman is its
choice for congress in the Sixth district.
Whatever chances he had before for this
nomination the pronounced prefer
ence Of the Boanerges of the Gilded
Eagle for his candidacy sends it below
zero. There ia an Asiatic story which
runs that whomsoever gets under the
shade OF the upas tree is doomed to the
death. The Partially of the Times for
any aspiring politician hss precisely
similar effect. His fate is 9 matter OF
instant certainty. To employ the lam
gusge of Shakespeare, "he lies in cold
obstruction and to rot; his warm, sensi-
BILE motion becomes a kneaded clod."
We pity the man who has to endure
this annihilating preference. In its
usual pompous way the Times OF yester-
day announces that its first choice for
congress in this district was exMayor
Hazard. That gruesome fact at once
settled Hazards chances, and left him
With more than its usual supercilious-
ness the Times dismisses McLachlan
as not to be thought Of for congress. As
usual it will waken up to great disap-
pointment. Its arrogant treatment OF
that gentleman will be sure to make
him the Republican nominee if it shall
come to this county at all. There are
other counties in the Sixth dis
trict, although the chances favor
McLachlsn. The defeat of HI. q.
Osborne, the editor of the Express. for
election to the Republican county con-
vention and for delegate at large to Sac
would have effectuslly disposed
of that gentleman's chances for the Re-
publican nomination for lieutensnt-gov-
ernor if the intermeddling and dictate
rial Times would only let him alone. but
there is no telling what it's persistent
opposition may do to advance Osborne's |
political fortunes. Getting the opposi
ton of the famous Hoodoo has the effect |
Of Mascot on the political fortunes OF
an aspirant. There is probably no more
pitiable spectacle than that of a man
mpotent for good and potential only for
Evil undertaking to arrange the political |
according to his pleasure.
1t has long been a we'll understood prop
osition that the way to acquire repu-
tstion for political sagacity in Los An
geles is to "copper"" the predictions and
snimosities of the Los Angeles Times.
That its conductor has not yet learned
this fact is one of the curiosities OF jour
nalism in Southern California.

PORTION OF Qua TRIBUTARY
COUNTRY.

The croskers who are always talking
about booms and their collspses will find
very little to talk about in this section of
country. Never has city grown so
steadily as Los Angeles in the past three
years. Her building permits show three
times as many buildings in process OF
construction aH Portland and nearly
twice as many as San Francisco. In
word, Los Angeles is the most prosper
GUS city on the Pacific coast, if not in
the whole United States and large as
are the sums of eastern capital con-
stantly being sent here for investment,
they would be infinitely larger were it
not for the panicky and unsettled con-
dition OF financial affairs in the older
states. Scores of men who had property
that could not be sold except at sac
rife, have said to us during the past few
months: This is the haven of rest
and we are coming here to live just as
soon as we can settle up our business
affairs and retire with competency"
The growth of Los Angeles since 1890
has been just in proportion to her trib-
utary country, without the slightest
approach to imitation. Several new in
dustries, hitherto untried in the Pacific
states, have been started up here in that
time, and none of them have been aban-
doned as improbable. Everything de-
notes straight move ahead, and, de-
spite the financial panics at the east and
in the northwest, the city has improved
and realty values advanced in every
possible direction.
A writer on the HERALD staff took
a drive ont through the San Gabriel
valley yesterday, going out by the upper
road to the Santa Anita rancho, thence
down to the lower road by the way Of
"Oneonta" and "Rosemeads" farms.
thence to Savannah and back to the city
by the way of Alhambra.
While the country suffers some from
the lack of seasonsble rains. this year,
it is by no means in as bad condition as
some Of the Dismal Jeremiss would have
one imagine. At the Santa Anita rancho
the third crop of alfalfa hay ia now lying
on the ground, and at Oneonta (Mr. S.
G. Reeds place. they were to cut their
third crop at the beginning of the next
week. The truth is that alfalfa is the
poor mans friend in this region With
its long roots going far down into the
soil, it Produces good crops of hay in
such weather as would kill off the blue
grass of Kentucky or the timothy Of
Oregon.
Everything in the San Gabriel valley
betokens the presence of men of 60
ahead spirit. The han isome stables at
Mr.. Roses place were looked upon as
wonderful in their day. but now they
have rivals at the Edgemont, Oneonta
and Savannah farms, the latter being
the property OF Mr.. J. H. Cultivate OF
Sierra Madre. The characteristics of

The last financial circular of Henry
Clews & Co. has a far more cheerful tone
than those which preceded it. This is
based on the expected early passage OF
the tariff by the senate, which is thought
to end the long struggle. This Wall
street firm has by no means been uni
formy successful in its predictions, but
it is something to find any authority
that can be quoted as taking eanguine
view of the future. According to Olews
& Co. the large shipments of gold to
Europe may be expected to steadily d.
minish from this time forward. We are
also told In the circular that the govern
ment will be able to get along without
resort to any extraordinary means for re-
plenishing the revenue. This is con-
eoling, for during the Last fiscal year the
expenditures have exceeded the receipts
by over seventy-one million dollars. The
people will learn with pleasure that no
more bond issues are on the tapis.

THERE is very little doubt of the fact
that here and there In this southern
country rich man can be found if he
is diligently hunted for. The apprsise-
ment of the estate of the late ex-Gov.
John G. Downey was filed yesterday.
and it foots up within fraction of mil
lion and a half OF dollars. Some sur
prise was expressed at the small show
ing made by the estate OF the late Col.
r. s. Baker, but this was owing to the
circumstance that the colonel, who de-
sired to simplify all details OF admins
tratlon, and who was without near rela-
tives, had passed his property over to his
wife during the past few years. His one
fourth ownership in the San Vicente y
Santa Monica rancho alone was worth
at least quarter Of million dollars.
and in addition he at one time possessed
considerable holdings in the Pico Oil
district, which he passed over to his
vile, and which yield a very consider
able revenue in the shape of royalty.
Mrs. Arcadia B. de Baker is an enor-
mously wealthy woman in her own
right. her fortune running away up in
the millions, judged by the most con.
servative standard.

FRIDAY, JUNE Is. 1894.

THE fact that the jury only took three
minutes to bring in verdict OF not
guilty in the Roscoe train robbery case
is strong inculpation of the men who
put the county to the expense of that
trial. In such cases it would DE good
idea to bear in mind Davy Orockett's old
motto, "Be sure you're right, then go
ahead" What compensation Com
stock, Thorne and Fitzsimmons are to
receive for their incarceration, and for
being put in peril OF their lives, does
not appear. 1t is too much the fashion
in California to rush people into jail on
insufficient evidence.

Unity church, tonight, where the Los
Angeles Oratorio society will present for
the first time on this coast Sullivan's
oratorio of the Prodigal Son. The
names OF the soloists are enough to
promise a treat, and when the rendition
of the Messiah at last Christmas time
by this organization is remembered, the
public will have no doubt about the
musical outcome tonight. Mr.. Bacon
says the chorus was never in better con-
dition to do finished work, and that the
solo parts are taken superbly.
