Some Things lie Can't Write.

CAPITA n Fred r. Reed, who has been
visiting New York aud other metropoh-
tan points in the east during the past
few weeks, will be home in few days.
He is confident that much good for Yak
ina has been accomplished by the trip.
He writes to the prosser Falls American
that he has been quite constantly engaged
in the errand on which he went east, but
that he has devoted few leisure hours to
investigating various interesting things,
some of which he will describe in print
others, however. he will tell about only
in whisper. It's true that people do
sometimes find many interesting things
for which it was not their purpose to
make search.

Achievement of Civilization.

1t IS a question worthy OF some consd-
Grafton as to the best form in which to
reproduce and preserve such features Of
the Worlds fair buildings and exhibits
as are best worth preserving. To gather,
shelter and properly display in SO great
profusion the results OF the achievements
OF civilization, at cost Of fifty or sixty
millions of dollars, only in brief period,
when the buildings are taken down and
the exhibits removed, to lose it all, to
have preserved no proper representation
or description OF the brilliant though fleet
ing spectacle, would be serions mistake.
Obviously, there is but one way in which
this can be done, and this is in the form
of book, priat and pictures in about
equal parts, neither so large as to be cum
bersome, and yet large enough to do the
ubject full Justice. Such is the plan of
the book Of the fair, to be issuel in twenty
five parts OF forty imperial folio pages
each, by the Bancroft company, Auditor
ium Binding, Chicago. The most
thorough and elaborate preparations were
made by these publishers to produce
what should be ia the highest and best
sense work OF art and utility, book
which should be at once beautiful and use
full. The best processes were adopted and
the best artists secured to illustrate the
text, which is by Hubert Howe Bancroft.
We have here, then. the history and de-
scription Of the entire exposition by an
author OF known character and repute,
aided and adorned by the most beautiful
pictures that can be procured. 1t is safe
to say that in no other form could the
great exposition be SO well presented and

EASILY ELATBD.

There is something decidedly amusing
in the great ado made by the Republi-
can forces at tho determination of the
Democratic party to carry out their
tariff reform pledges. They point to
our reduced vote. AS matter OF fact,
if the tariff has had anything to do with
the falling off OF the Democratic vote it
has been because action was not taken
sooner. The American people want to
see the tariff adjusted on equitable prin-
ciples. They voted that way in 1892,
and they doubtless had high hopes that
tariff adjusted at once. But, however
much they were disappointed in these
expectations, there are several other
causes which have had far more to do
with the falling off OF the Democrats tic
vote than the tariff. We alluds to the
silver legislation and to the fact that
this is the celebrated "off year" There
is great deal of talk just now about the
fact that Galusha A. Grow, the Repub-
licAn nominee for congressms at-large
in Pennsylvania, was elected by 1877, 600
majority. Now, as Pennsylvania has al
ways been the Repu blican state par excel
lence, as we'll as the one most devoted to
the highest of high protection, there is
nothing surprising in this. The real
wonder is that the Pennamites did not
roll up bigger majority for their favor
its fad. The passage OF the Bland bill
and honest silver legislation supple.
mental to it will restore to the Demo-
cratic party any strength which they
may have lost at the special session.
As for the "off year" every tyro in pol
itics knows what that has meant in the
past. Grover Cleveland was elected
Governor of New York by majority OF
$4,000 in the "off year" of President
Arthur's administration. That this was
not personal but an incident in the usual
run OF politics was shown by the TACT
that, at the same election, David Ben
nett Hill was elected Lieutenant-Gov.
eInor by several thousand more votes
than Cleveland received for Governor.
That the country is going through a
severe crisis, caused principally by
Republican misrule, and the passage of
the Mckinley bill, cannot be gainsaid.
But it is absurd to suppose that great
and opulent nation can be kept in q
state Of depression for a long while.
The adjustment of the tariff ON fair
basis will enable manufacturers to know
where they stand, and then we shall
have prosperity, and with prosperity
the Democratic vote will swell to it's old
proportions, and our friends the enemy,
yclept the grand old party" will
shrink to the normal dimensions. Until
that time they can contemplate how
absolute is the present Democratic pos
session of power and continue to live in
q FOOLS paradise.

JOE HOWE IS A GENTLEMAN.
That's What a Bold Burglar
Said Last Night.
Thieves Encountered in Spring
Street Hardware Store.
The Proprietor Corners the Burglar.
Makes Him Drop His Plun-
der and rhen Lets
Him Go.

When Joe Howe OF the firm OF How,
Bros, hardware merchants at 552-55'
South Spring street, entered his stort
at O'Clock last night he encountered 8
gang of burglars. He made q PROPOSE
ton to one OF them to leave his goods
alone and he would let him out and save
him from the police. The burglar &C.
cepted, shook hands with Mr.. Howe
told him he was gentleman and lei
the store at once. That reads like the
synopsis OF dime novel, but it is fact.
Mr.. Howe always leaves the gas burn
ing when he closes the store for the
night, but last night failed to light II
until his return about 8 O'Clock. He
entered the rear door as usual, lighted
the gas near the door and started for
ward. He heard q noise as though
something had been dropped. but pro.
cseded to the front OF the store and
lighted another burner.
Imagine the surprise OF Mr.. Howe,
when on leaning toward the counter, he
stood face to face with g burglar who
had his pockets filled with all styles and
sizes OF penknivea aud other instru-
ments. The knives were sticking from
every pocket, and he was as cool as a
cucumber.
Howe looked at the burgular and vice
versa, each waiting for the other to
take the initiative in the exchange of
sRlutations.
By and by Mr.. Howe asked: "How
many OF you are there?"
Three" calmly replied the man be-
hind the counter.
just then q crash was heard in the
rear, and Mr.. Howe at once concluded
that there were three burglars sure
enough, although he saw but one.
well" said Mr.. Howe, lust unload
your pockets and we will fix this thing
up all right. l will let you out and save
You from the police, ii you won't shoot
me or stick a knife in me-"
well, you are a gentleman" said the
burglar, as he emptied two dozen knives
from his pockets. "Now you Just walk
in front of me to the door," he con-
tinusd, ''and will aid you in squsring
this thing"
Mr.. Howe did as requested, and man
aged to tell the burglar that he had juet
read the account of the burglar who shot
the Whittier preacher. and that all he
wanted was his goods and his health.
de told the nocturnal marauder that he
would not melest him in the least.
Mr.. Howe opened the door and the
burglar walked out. Suddenly turning
he told the hardware merchant that he
was a gentleman and had dealt very
leniently with him. Extending his
hand the burglar grasped that of Mr..
Howe; they shook, and the thief was
gone.
About all Mr.. Howe could do then
was to think. De finally hunted up the
officers and related his story. When
they laughed at it he said: "Why, l
am glad am alive"
Mr.. Howe could not give q good de-
SoriP Ption of tue sAzn, faili--S - -~e-e ..i-.s

He was evidently tramp. There is no

tracted the attention and admiration oi
visitors from abroad and there would
be many more of them il there were a
boulevard on which to drive. All this
means something more than the mere
pleasure OF the wealthy classes. 1t
means more carriages to be built and re-
paired from time to time, more horses
to be shod aud more work for the hsr-
ness makers. In fact, all classes are di-
rectly interested in the proposition.
A boulevard to Santa Monica, with a
double row OF trees up the center, to be
properly sprinklod every day when it
did not rain, is about the proper thing,
and it should be at least two hundred
feet wide over all. Norfolk Island pines
alternated with palms, for the side
walks, and pepper trees alternated with
scscias, for the center rows, would make
a picture that the eastern visitor could
never forget. And there should be some
provision made to keep of heavy
teams, for the boulevard is intended as
a pleasure drive; and the motto for the
travelling public should be. keep to the
right. In this way the boulevard would
need but little repair, except after the
very heaviest rains.
The whole thing ought to be feasible
through q careful disbursement OF the
road tax. Most of the land along the
line is already regarded as valuable for
suburban residences, and it would be-
come great deal more so as aoon as the
boulevard was under way.
A large amount OF money to build
this boulevard could be obtained by
subscription. There are probably ten
men in Pasadena and twenty in Los An
geles who would give 500 each toward
the project; twenty in Pasadena and
fifty in Los Angeles who would give $50
each, and probably one hundred who
would give $40 each, for the sake of
what we have not now-sn elegant
drive between the two cities. This
would make total of $780, and with
that much raised by voluntary contri-
button, the road tax for completing the
work would be comparatively insignifi-
cant. But all such movements need a
leader, and the question is, who ia the
man for the hour2

WE HAVE been obliged to animadvert
occasionally of late on special favoritism
in the purchase OF supplies for both city
and county. The whole system is wrong,
from the purchase OF coats for the OFF,
GERS of the police force to the buying Of
supplies for the public schools. In the
administration OF the city government
the law is evsded with the utmost reck-
lessness. the practice OF making several
orders out of one prevailing to an alarm
ing extent, thus enabling the officials to
violate the rule which requires all pur-
chases involving the sum OF $500 or up
wards to be made by advertising for bids.
There is hardly limit to the extent to
which this rule has been evaded. But
the system of bidding itself is bad. No
man not q member of the city hall ring
has any chance OF getting q contract for
municipal work. He is obliged to 20 to
the city hall for plans and specifications,
and the ring either corrals him or dis
covers who he is aud what he 10 likely
to bid. These specifications should be
published. thus allowing a contemplAt-
ing bidder to keep the fact of his inten-
tions to himself to the last moment be-
fore the bids are opened. The failure to
do business on this common sense plan
has cost the city of Los Angeles immense
sums Of money.

ALvAN FLANDERS, who died in San
Francisco day before yeste rday, WAS
never Governor of Oregon, as stated by
the Examiner, but was appointed Gov
ernor of Wash ington territory by Presi-
dent Lincoln. Prior to his going north
he was proprietor and business manager
of the San Francisco Daily Times, of
which Charles A. WashbUrn, afterward
minister to Paraguay, was editor and an
equal owner with him. Governor
Flanders was a Republican, strong in
the faith, but so courteous and good
natured that he found many friends
among the Democracy. His last twenty
years were spent in his little office at
California and Montgomery streets,
where he held the post of notary public.
