VALIANT, the hurler of the dynamite
bomb from the gallery of the French
chamber of deputies, was guillotined at
7 80 yesterday morning. An account of
the execution was given to the readers of
the HERALD before o'clock a. m. OF the
same day. OF course we were enabled
to do this by the difference of time be-
tween Paris and Los Angeles. Yet it is
a marvellous achievement OF science that
electricity can be directed so that it
places time at defiance, and leaves the
sun so far behind in its race OF annihi-
lating space. When Shakespeare placed
the words in the mouth of Puck-"I'n
put girdle round about the earth in
forty minutes'-he had no idea he was
foreshadowing an actual fact that would
still exceed in celebrity the feat that
Puck declared he would do. AS the
click OF the guillotine knife was sound
ing in Vaillant's ears, the click OF the
telegraph operator in the United States
was sending the news of his execution
to the farthest extremity of our conti-
nenr. His body was still warm and hia

EMpEnoR WILLIAM has developed {

EMPEROR WILLIAM has developed q
marked partiality for Prince Bismarck, of
late. Although the conclusion would
seem to be far-ietched, this to US looks
as if the young war lord were getting
ready to try conclusions with France
and Russia. There is great deal OF
sound policy in arranging the quarrels
within your own household before en-
gazing in hostilities with your neigh
bors. Some of the most distinguished
statesmen in Europe are on record to the
effect that the strain cannot last much
longer, nor can it. Bismarck's friend
ship and cooperation are worth much to
the young ruler at any time, but partic-
ularly in the event of war. 1t is lcng
time since the clash of arms has been
heard in Europe on any considerable
scale, the Russo-Turkish war being the
last occurrence OF the kind. Meanwhile,
armies have gone on increasing, and
national debts and imposts of all kinds
have gone on expanding, at perfectly
intolerable rate. Unless held together
by war, the triple alliance threatens to
fall to pieces of its own weight. 1t has
Away been simply question OF time
when hostilitiea should break out, and
the time seems near.

THOUGH the rainfall this year has been
exceptionally small, it has come go
timely that the crops are in splendid
condition. One reasonably good rain
and few showers would insure very
heavy crops, and this precipitation we
are sure to have. A very scant rainfall
goes great ways in Southern Califor-
mia, 80 great is the spontaneity of the
soil. We have had seasons in Los Au-
e les county whore the rainfall has been
three times what it has been this year;
but. owing to its inopportune arrival,
as gregg Freq p pS been nothing like as good
shall also be helped out by the fact that
our irrigating facilities have been enor-
mously extended during the past four
or five years The farmer just now is
more exercised as to the prices be will
get for his wheat and barley and corn
than as to the quantity or quality Of his
crops. We shall surely nave great
abundance, and the only question is,
what Shall We Do With It?"

In HIS movement TO have the silver
seigniorage coined, Mr.. Bland will have
the sympathy OF the whole people OF the
country outside OF the limited class
known as goldbugs. This would add
500, 100000 TO the circulation OF the
United States, although it is claimed
that the capacity of the various minis
does not exceed the coinage of more
than $4,000, 900 a month. This Is prob
ably misstatement. but if it is true,
their capacity ought to be enlarged,
which could be readily done. The mere
knowledge of the fact that this addition
was about to be made to the circulating
medium, would of itself have benef-
clal effect on the finances of the country.
1t would snow that we have adopted the
policy of advancing instead of retrograd-
ing, and that the intention of congress
was to give the business of the country
some relief.

THERE is no question OF the fact that
the people OF California are disposed to
treat Chris Evans as downright, out
right joke. Whenever his name is
mentioned in the press there is an un-
der current of humor plainly discern
ible. He is now alluded to facetiously
es "Colonel' Evans, and it is regarded
as highly fitting and proper that he
should defy the laws. The governor
and the rest Of the civil authorities also
seem content to allow Evans and Morel
to occupy a considerable portion OF
the state practically without contest.
The last report represents the officers as
flying from the disabled desperado, and
this report is doubtless the only reliable
one we have received III long while.
What effect this hilarity at the antics OF
red handed murderer will have upon
the growing generation remains to be
seen. 1t can certainly not be a whole
some one.

MERIT WILL TELL.
Another Illustration of the
Truth Of the old Adage.
The Public Not to he Fooled with Noise
and outcry, But Quick to Reallze
Quick hesuits.

Merit will tell, AMI, no matter what other
claims are put forth with a view to ceiving
the public, the one who ttlls the whole truth
and nothing but the truth is certain 10 win in
the end. The people know good thing when
theysee it, and can be depended upon to get it.
We are moved TO these reflections by some
events of the past two weeks. About fort
night ago. NJ, German, the well-known jeweler,
advertised the fact that he was in position to
do the finest and best style of watch work.
Since then he has been so flooded with work of
this sort that he has been compelled to engage
two more watchmakers, thus giving him a
force of six men now at work on this branch OF
his business. The newcomers are on a par
with his old men-that is to say, they are at
the top of their profession. With their help,
MI German is confident of being able to keep
his present position at the had of the watch
repaireis of Los Angeles.
In all other branches OF the jewellery bust
ness Mr. German Is also fast taking the lead.
His store at No. $50 South Spring street, Is
filed with stock which cannot be excelled
anywhere this side of Chicago. In the manu-.
featuring department he is now employing
20 men, and is able to fill any order, no matter
how complicated. His staff of mechanics com
prises every line of jewellery manufacturing
and every man ia an artist in his respective
specially.

KIDNAPPING dead bodies with view
to holding them for ransom has long
been practice with enterprising per-
sons who desired to raise the wind.
There have been sensational sbductions
OF living persons, also, that OF Charley
Ross being perhaps the most famous.
Considering the ease with which the
thing can be done the wonder lie that it
is not done oftener. Il is by no means
new thing. For years so long agone
that the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary it was the won't Of the
brigands of Greece and Italy to carry off
travellers to the mountains and hold
them until their friends or relatives
snted up. II the process was unduly
long an ear or slice of the prisoners
nose was sent in to remind those in in
terest that generalization is the thief
OF time. If there was still further de-
lay the rest Of his nose and his other
ear were duly forwarded. This was also
the primitive and practical method in
use in our neishboring republic of
Mexico. 1t is to be hoped that Miss
Hetty Green, msugre her millions, if
she has indeed been abducted, will not
be subjected to these rather drastic ex-
periences.

ED L. BAKER has been brought down

ED L. BAKER has been brought down
from San Quentin to testify in the case
OF Wray. 1t will be remembered that
Attorney Goodrich raised couple of
interesting questions as to the right of
the United States authorities to take
Baker out Of California penitentiary,
and also as to the eligibility of his tes-
timony if he should be brought here.
Judge Ross took the matter under ad-
visement. We have not learned that
he has yet rendered any decision on the
questions raised, but Baker is here all
the game. By whose authority does not
clearly appear. Very likely upon that
OF the warden himself, who may be one
OF those officials, that can be occasion
ally encountered of late, who are law
unto themselves.

If BANDS bill. to coin the seigniorage
of The silver in the treasury, should
pass, the treasury would be sufficiently
relieved to dispense with Carlisle's bond
fcheme. The seigniorage would yield
s55 00O, 900. This would actually be
new money, and would fortify the treas
ury to that extent by the actual access
sion OF so much gold coming in without
the same amount going out to secure it,
as will be the case with the ecietary's
bond scheme. BANDS plan will be an
actual help to the finances Of the coun-
try; the other will only be sort OF
sebbing- Peter-to-pay-Paul process.

UNITY CHURcH.-The Unity club was
fortunate in sect ing the now famous
lectures of DR.. David Starr Jordan,
president of the Stanford university, on
biology and evolution. When the
Episcopalian clergymen OF San Fran
cisco rendered banquet to Professor
Leconte few weeks ago, DR.. Jordan
was the most conspicuous figure in the
after dinner speeches. His clear.cut
sentences and logical formulas carry
conviction to the thinking m nd and
leave no room for controversy.
DR.. Jordan will arrivs from San Fran
cisco this afternoon and will deliver his
first lecture at the Unity church this
evening, entitled, Factors in Organic
Evolution. He starts out with the
thesis that evolution ia the science |
which treats Of changing being, acted
upon by unchanging laws"
This will be followed on Thursday |
evening by The Law of Heredity and on |
Saturday evening by Mans Place in
Nature. In the latter he shows how
man has descended from the snthro
poid apes.
This course of lectures will undoubt-
eddy attract marked attention from the
thoughtful, both in science and religion.

AMUSEMENT rs.

Los ANGELES THEATER.-The Ensign,
which is billed at the Los Angeles thea
ter for three nights, proved to he melo-
drama of an unusually interesting and
well-written character.
The central figure is OF course he
roic youth who suffers untold misfort-
unes and faces death itself rather than
break his word. and there are the usual
heart-breaking goodbyes, and the ac-
companying ''piling on of agony" But
in spite of certain amount of cheap
sentiment and buncombe. the stirring
patriotism and quick action of the
drama proves irresistible, and the result
last night was thoroughly delighted
audience.
II ia seldom that melodrama has
been 90 thoroughly we'll played all
round as The Ensign. Mr.. Walter
Edward in the title role was distinctly
manly and convincing. and wss well
supported by Marlborough Hardy.
The best piece of acting was given by
Mr.. Atkins Lawrence, who. in his ap.
peal to the secretary OF the navy for his
friends life, gave evidences OF powers
very closely approaching tragedy.

Movement on Foot to Raise
 the kearsarge.
FAVORED BY HOUSE COMMITTEE

The Committee Votes to Appropriate
 sualeleat Funds to Save the Famous
 Old Yessel-The Project Is Endorsed
 by seet Etary Herbert Who Urges Im-
 mediate Action.
 WASHINGTON, March 1 ,6Fhe remains of the historic Kearsarge will be raised from RoAcado- if the house committee on naval affairs has it's way. The com. mittee voted to report fayorably the bill of Representative Blair of New Hampshire. but was more generous than Mir Blair proposed While his bill would appropriate $50, ,0G0 for the undertaking, the committee decided to raise the sum to S45, QUO. with proviso that the wrecking company shall not receive more than Si0, GOO if -ne at tempt is failure.
 Several proposals for raising the Kearsarge have been made to the gov ernment by wrecking companies, and it is represented that tue attempt would be perfectly feasible one.
 Secretary Herbert sent to Represent ative Cummings of the house com mittee on naval affairs q letter indors- ing the project of rescuing the wrecked ship Kearsarge. Secretary Herbert urged that any action toward rescue should be taken at once.
