Object Lessons la Sermons.

Object lessons are highly regarded by
educators Of the present day, but it
scarcely seems necessary for a preacher
to ornament his pulpit with u brace of
bicycles when ba proposes to deliver a
sermon to wheolmen, as a Clergyman in
Brooklyn did last Sunday. 1t is signifi-
isn't sign Of the times that ministers
who search tho Scriptures Of the Old

TAXATION FACTS IN DE1AND

1t seems that demands for the printed
report OF the Illinois state bureau of la
Dor statistics, OF which mention has been
made in The Herald, exceeds the supply.
Provision was made for prntin, $500
copies of that remarkable public docu-
ment but so extensive and urgent has
been the demand for them that the sup
ply is already nearly exhausted. Appli-
cations have been received at Springfield
from almost every section OF the United
States, California included. Pressure Is
now being brought TO bear upon Governor
Aitgeld to induce him if possible to Sc
cure the printing of another large install
ment OF the reports, SO that hundreds of
now unsupplied orders may yet be filed.
From the character of the document il is
evident that the great numbers who have
read it or who desire to read it
are hungry for inside facts con-
corning taxation methods. No pubic
document within our knowledge ever dis
closed so many and such important facts
bearing upon taxation as does the report
referred to. 1t is re 7elation that ought
to arouse the attention OF every voter and
enlist his active efforts in the important
WORK of reforming Il fiscal policy so
fraught with evil.
Many of the facts contained in this
compilation are 80 startling as to seem
incredible. But there is no reason to
doubt the accuracy of a single table or
statement. Names, dates and localities
are infinitely given and were copied fro IN
official records. Robert Schill ing, the
head OF the labor bureau,s widely known
as painssaking, conscientious statisti-
can, and among those who know him
best his Off cial work is always accepted as
faHltless. Several copies of the report
have bean received in tins city and ar-
pilcations for mora of them have been
sent to Springfield. \ Communication to
the governor of Illinois will be forwarded
from this place urging that executive
to order the issuance of a second edition
OF the much sought far document. The
comm nication will be signed by a mum.
Der of our citizens and it is expected that
each signer OF tha application will receive
copy nf the next installment
We will add that if the taxation meth
DDS OF California were dragged to the
light and exposed to public gaze as those
Of Illinois have been by MI. Schilling
and his assistants it is probable That the
result would be a sensational rafting of
dry bones throughout the state.

T0DAY'S ELECTIONS

In the multiplicity of political contests
that will be punctuated today, those of
New York, Ohio and Maryland will preb-
ably be the most significant, but in each
case Tor different reasons.
if New York state is carried by the De-
mocracy, which seems very probable at
this writing, it means the retention at
least of Senator Hill as one of New
Hork's representatives in the upper house
of the national legislature, unless the
moral aspect of carrying the state under
his leadership should prove great enough
to rally to his support in his contest for
the Democratic presidential nomination
sufficient strength to give him the prize.
Outside of the senatorship the excise
question is the only issue.
In OHIO McKinley's chances for the
next Republican presidential nomination
are at stake. If his party luses the state
or fails to carry it by majority of not
less than 25,0)0, the emulator OF Napo-
leonic attitudes may as we'll be eliminated
from the list OF possibilities for the Re-
publican convention of 1896.
If Governor Campbell should again lead
the hosts of the faithful into power IN
the Buckeye state or come within a few
thousand OF doing so, he will unquestion-
ably be formidable candidate before the
next Democratic national convention.
That the prospects of Republican sue.
cess in Ohio, of the kind that can be called
victory, are not very encouragins to
that, at present,very much bew ,dered or
ganlzation, Is apparent Independent of
the impossI bility of effectively consolida-
ting such antagonistic factions as those
represented by Foraker on ons side ana
Mckinley and Sherman on the other, the
recent literary effort of the latter gentle.
man is certain to prove disastrous to
party harmony.
In Maryland there is no issue except
Senator German, very poor issue in
deed. The psople who are opposed to the
machine" in politics and unprincipled
conf promises in tariff legislation are
fighting the senator with reasonably
good prospect of terminating his long
lease of power. II they succeed it will be
through the election OF the Republican
I cket, that is, they will siz, mp the evils
and take what they deem the lesser. Un-
der these circumstances the success of
the Repu blicans will not be so much of
a victory for them as it will be defeat
for Gormanism and all that it i'm plies n
MARYLAND politics and national policy.

Accuses Officials Of DereIiction

Editor Herald IF there is space in

to make the remark that state and munlc-
ipal laws of the grand city of Los An.
geles are merely farce, not because the
laws are bad in themselves, but the men
who handle them don't administer them
right They disobey resolutions and or
dinances of the city. The officials have
neglected their duty about building on
Schaffer Bros. property. they violate
the ordinance Of the city in putting up
an eight-inch wal contrary to the law.
Thee is man in this city of a remarka-
bic sphere and Of a magnetic power 50
that what he says they have to go by;
he has the controlling power. This is
shameful.
1t is the duty of the superb tendent of

earnest attention. This building should
be considered dangerous. B. b.

fellow citizens who own land in Far
Antelope valley to KnOw that valley is
receiving quite an amount of attention
from the people of Southern California.
We have befors us the Los Angeles Her
aid of recent date. That paper devotes
an entire page to a description OF what is
called Fair Antelope valley" Tie val
ley is spoken of as one of CALIFORNIA;
most favored spots. The quality of the
land is SAID to be of the best, and plenty
of water may be obtained at q small ex-
pensc Judging from The Herald we are
led TO believe that that valley has a
bright future. 1t may turn out that our
people who bought land at cheap rate
in Antelope valley did wiser thing than
they dreamed of.-Woodland Daily Re
