experience to qualify them for effective

lowed MIR. Stewart, talked about the
history of law, from Jewish times down,
in perfunctory. prosy fashion. His
manner and matter once more excited
the wonderment of west-sde people as
to how Il man who seldom appears to
advantage in public can retain his
hold upon his constituents. Sena-

ton by what they said and did. as is al
ways the case with them. All in all,
the reunion was rather Illuminating

A STRANGE CONTRAST.
From Dun's Review.l

One striking feature of the past quar-
ter is that it has witnessed, about the
first of September, the worst general
range of prices ever known in this coun
try, in spite of remarkable advances in
cotton and cotton goods. great advances
in iron and steel products. and in boots
and shoes, leather and hides. SO great
was the fall in many other articles, in
Guiding some of much greater relative
importance, that prices of breadstufls
declined over 20 per cent from the end OF
May to the end of August. prices of
meats 10 per cent. prices of dairy pro-
duets, fruit and vegetables % per cent,
aud other food, including sugar, tea and
coffee. liquors, fish and spices, only
about two per cent. Meanwhile all
clothing rose over 10 per cent. including
boots and shoes over 10 per cent, and
iron and steel products about 81 per
cent Very rarely has there occurred
within a few months so great and so un-
equally balanced change in the prices
of products Under the head of The
Industries are given comparisons as TO
cotton and woolen goods. and iron and
steel products, and boots and shoes,
which bring out in strong light the ad-
vance realized during the quarter. Mean
while i'm breadstutls. meats, dairy and
garden products, vegetables and fruits
taken together, there has been sur
prising decline, which may best be rep
resented by percentages, treating the
aggregate for October. 1890 in each class
as 100, and representing the aggregate
of quotations at succeeding dates by
proportions to the figures of that period.

There is more history in these few fig
ures than may be found in many big
volumes. Space may be found for some
explanations and comments at another
time, but it sufiices here to call especial
attention to the general advance in prices
of the manufactured products at time
when farm products as a whole are re-
markably declining. Exceptions are to
be found, of course, IN the prices of raw
cotton and raw wool, and as we'll in a
few other products of the farm. But on
the whole the prices of such articles range
lower than at any other period for many
years.

THE LEGISLATIVE REUNION.

The reunion of legislators at Mont
peier last week brought to light several
booms, the existence of which is of some
consequence. 1t appears that both Mai.
Josiah Grout of Derby and Lawyer w.
W. Stickney of Ludlow want to be gov
ernor the next round. 1t is also hinted
that Congressman Grout, realizing, per-
haps, that one GrouJ is about all the
people banker for at one time, is not
wildly enthusiastic in support of the
majors aspirations. Sundry other poll
ticiaus are likewise said to be bit shy
of him, as they would not SPUN Senator
Morrills shoes and do not feel sure that
the major lacks the gall to appoint his
brother to the vacancy should Senator
Morrill, resign or die during his term of
office. No good reason is given for the
elevation of Mr.. Sticllney to the governor
ship, except a desire to beat Maj. Grout,

N special dispatch from Brandon. dated
"Wednesday, says: This place was the
Scene of Il dreadful crime last night.
Pat Sloan was the criminal, and his vic

been working for Daley. Lately, how
ever, he had gone to work at Jud Good
nough's, and Daley and his wife went
down last evening to settle their account
with him. Sloan called Daley into a
shed and in short time came out and
told Daley's wife to go and look at
her dead husband. Daley's skull is frac-
tured in several places and it is thought
he will die Sloan's crime was, however,

a village correspondent wishes to
know why asphalt rOadways are not

asphalt makes fine road, but it costs
more than we can afford to pay. The

MUSICAL

The second of the series of six concerts
given by the Krauss String Quartet took
place at the Blanchard. Fitzgerald Music
hall last evening. The concert was of a
merit which deserved full house, but on
the contrary only small audience greeted
this artistic combination. What is the
matter with the musical people of Los An
geles that they will not support good
thing?
The concert opened with that most beau
tlful and artistic composition of Schu-
manns, The Quartet, OPP. II, No. /,
which comprises an allegro, scherzo,
adagio and presto in its movements. As a
whole the number was well played, in the
adagiO and presto particularly the finish
and beauty of Instrumentation being mani
tested, the cello performing an important
part in the hands of MIR. Opid.
The second number, Reine de Saba from
Gounod, was given with considerable
amount of spirit and intelligence by Mrs. ,
Lillian Fellows Burdette, who possesses 10
good voice, especially in the middle range.
She received an encore which she respond
ed to by singing lovely little selection by
Ioder. The third NUMBER the ,luintitte,
with clarinet. by Mozart, was, perhaps, the
gem of the evening, and was played in fine
taste, especially the larghetto movement,
which was worked up to a climax which
would remind one of listening to the old
MenuelSsOnn quintet OF Boston. Some
beautiful work was done in this movement,
which thoroughly brought out the artistic
qualities of the players. The next num-
Der, Air Varie, by Rode, was, of course, ar
tlcally given by Mr.. krauss and his quin-
tet, and received much praise. Mr.. Krauss
is an artistic, his whole soul being put into
his work, which only can bring forth good
results, his playing being full of sympathy
and fine technique.
The song, Fairy, by Bamberg, was next
on the program, and given by Mr.. Bur-
dette. The program closed with Cheru-
bini's Scherzo, beautiful piece of work,
bright and full of the melody which this
great master is noted for. We shall look
forward with pleasure for the forthcoming
of these concerts, and the music-loving
people ought to support an entertainment
of such merit. c.

somewhere between 100000 and S1O.-
100000. The exact number of millions
is of little consequence when the
figures have reached the seven million
mark. Jay Gould, when once asked IN
a court trial. whether he had on GER
tain occasion signed check for 10000
600, replied that he could not remem-
ber whether he had or not. 1t is said
that John d. Rockefeller once, when
asked under oath how much his entire
estate was worth, replied that he could
tell the amount within $12,000,000, and
that was as near as he could estimate
it. These incidents show how easily
an enterprising man can learn
whole lot of millions if he only tries.
II is scarcely necessary to state that
Miss Culver, the latest donor to the
Chicago University, did not earn her
immense fortune by taking in washing
nor by running sewing machine, nor
by officiating as saleswoman in retail
store On the contrary, she just went
vigorously to work and inherited it.
That is always the easiest way to come
into possession Of enormous riches,
and the wonder is that such an ad-
mirable method is not more frequently
adopted by persons desiring big for
tunes. Miss Culver inherited her mil
lions from her uncle, Mr.. Charles G,
Hull, who for many years was one of
Chicagos most useful and benevolent
citizens. He might have done worse
than to bequeath a few millions to his
niece, and she might do worse than to
donate portion of her fortune to the
promotion of studies in biology, which
is very interesting branch of science.
But what many people would like to
hear of next is liberal donation for
the purpose of insuring more equit
able distribution of wealth, 80 that
those who produce it may get the share
which rightfully belongs to them.
Wealth, of any and every kind, is pro-
duced only by the application of labor
to land, or, in other words, to natural
resources. No other way of producing
wealth was ever known. Hence the
propriety of so shaping our laws that
these two factors in wealth production
may he most easily brought together.
A few millions donated and devoted to
education in true political economy-a
science of which the average citizen is
grossly ignorant-would greatly aid in
the abolition of involuntary poverty
and in the establishing of better social
conditions.

A REMARKABLE EVENT

Yesterday was notable day in Los
Angeles county. 1t witnessed the oc-
currence of a strange aud rare event.
The full amount of forfeited official
bond, with cost of collection and in
terest to date, WAS paid into the county
treasury. After long and weary wait
ing and a strenuous contest on the
part of the bondsmen the defalcation
of Ell Hammond, former tax collector,
has been made good, and as far as any
thing the levanting official did, the
county is whole again. The successful
$21, 16S 30, shows that vigorous effort
on the part of the legal officer of the
county can give force and effect to
official bonds, In another par. of to-
days HERALD will be found a his
tory of the FL Hammond case
that should make mighty interestin'"
reading to the taxpayers. In it will
be found much that is significant, es-
pecially the different treatment the
matter received at the hands of the
district attorneys who have held Office
since the defalcation. To j. II. Dupuy,
elected by the Democrats, and a. G.
Dillon, elected by Democrats and Pop
ulists to the Office of district attorney,
Is due the credit for the restitution
which has been made. The former be.
gan the action for recovery and the lat
ter vigorously prosecuted the case to
successful issue, securing judgment
for the county in the superior court
and etfectually resisting the appeal
that WAS taken to the state supreme
court.
Between Judge Dupuy and MIR. Dill
Ion, two Republican district attorneys
came and went, and throughout the
terms of both the El Hammond bond
case rested in serene quiet. These
two were Frank p Kelly, sometimes
called Necessity Kelly, because it is
said that Necessity knows no law"
and James McLachlan, at present rep
resenting this district in the house of
representatives. The disinclination
of two Republican district attorneys
to push an action against the sureties
of Republican Office holder may be
q coincidence merely, or it may not; it
Is certainly entitled to more than a
passing consideration by the citizens
of this county. The present district
attorney came on the scene too late to
be the recipient of either odium or
credit i'll this now notorious case.

JAPANESE COMPETITION

Senator Stewart of Nevada adds to
the varied and numerous crank notions
he espouses the idea that the industrial
prosperity of the American people is
threatened by the ability of the Japa-
nese in Japan to make things immeas-
arsbly cheaper than we can in this
country. The fact that the agents of
Japanese manufacturers are offering
bicycles at about one-tifth of what the
American manufacturers charge strikes
the senator as being an indication Of
the dissolution of the republic. 10 the
mind of this sagebrush statesman it
will be most unfortunate to allow the
people desiring bicycles to obtain them
with one-fifth the labor they now eX-
pend ia their purchase. He apparently
