AS another election of great import
ance to the people of this city will take
place three weeks from now, 1t is the
duty of the county clerk or the district
attorney or some other incompetent now
in authority, to announce to the public
at large and the judges of election in es-
pecial that any voter whose name is not
on the last great register of this county
and who has resided in any city pre-
cinct the thirty days prior to the city
election is entitled to vote at the city
election of Dec. 7th, an injudicious Judge
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
At the last election the bungling man.
ner in which this question was handled
was a disgrace-even to our incompetent
court house squad.
It would also be well to inform some
judges of election that they are supposed
to be judges of the election and that they
can bar out anyone known to be nom
resident, whether the said nonresident
offers to swear in his vote or not, and
that it is also their duty to have re-
peaters and perjurers arrested whenever
they are discovered.
If conscience makes towards of us
ALL" elections 'either follow suit or
trump" In local matters the average
man is almost afraid to admit that he
has a vote or the right thereto, and 1t
is an open question as to whether the
Australian ballot, which has brought a
certain security of secrecy has not also
brought with it a certain manifestation
of cOwardice in the expression of honest
opinion concerning men and measures.

just as others make the collection of
stamps and curiosities a hobby. That
he is able to understand the fitness or
unfitness of certain shades and knows
how to blend them so as to bring about
the best results comes from a natural
taste for such things and the constant
cultivation of that taste.
Mr.. Kirk said: Il can dress better on
one suit of clothes than is possible fer
many man on half dozen. BY chang
ing ones collars and rearranging ones
ties wonders can be effected. Yet Inev-
err wear suit of clothes longer than one
day at a time. l cannot endure monot-
ony in dress, and often change my gar
ments several times day."
Plaids are great favorite with Mr..
Kirk. In his shirts and neckwear he
displays some especially striking de-
signs. Just now he is engaged in reviv-
ing an old style, the wearing Of the scarf
ring. In these he is able to produce some
striking effects. He has several of these
rings set with diamonds, rubies and
other precious stones
He has a great weakness for jewelry,
and yet he never overdoes the matter in
his cultivation of this hobby. There are
rings to match almost every one of the
score or more suits of clothes. Mr.. Kirk
is fond of walking sticks. He has them
in numerous designs and of various rare
woods, and is as careful which one he
chooses for every occasion as an ordin-
ary individual is what suit he wears to
a social function.
Mr. Kinks latest creation Is what is
known as the Lii Hung Chang overcoat.
He gave the coat this name himself and
takes great pride in it. 1t is wide de-
parture from the overcoat now in style,
being cut extremely loose in the back.
The coat has created a great deal of in
terest on this coast, and has already
been adopted quite extensively in the
east. Since his arrival in the west Mr..
Kirk has been continually visited by the
local dudes, who are anxious TO get sug-
gestions on the coat.
Mr.. Kirk has striking personality.
He is anything but the puffed-up, vain
glorious Individual that men of his class
are often supposed to be. He was not
born a rich man but has all his life been
engaged in mercantile pursuits through
which he has been able to amass large
fortune. To be able to spend as much as
he pleased on dress has been pet idea
from childhood. He Is now able to graf
ify this desire. His income is over $40, 600
a. wear. and he spends $4,000 at least on
his dress alone.
Mr.. Kirk expressed surprise at finding
the men in this city so we'll dressed.
They are far ahead of most of the west
ern cities in this respect. The tailors in
This CITY are more up-to-date and more
clever in delicate curves and producing
striking effects than many places else
where. Mr.. Kirk leaves in few days for
his home in Chicago, where he will spend
the winter.

LIVELY FAMILY ROW
An Exciting Time on Hill Street Last
Evening

A lively street fracas, which attracted
a large crowd, occurred on Hill street,
just below the corner of Third, about
o'clock last evening, the participants be-
ing man named jenkins, his 25-year-oid
married daughter. her mother and Clar
ence Mallard. The daughter, Mrs.
Goodrich, is not now living with her
husband, and Mallard has been paying
her some attention.
He was out walking with her last
evening, and was annoyed by the pa
rents, who persisted in dogging his steps
AS old man Jenkins had threatened to
shoot him on at least one occasion, Mai
lard was on the lookout for trouble He
claims Mrs. Goodrich met him on the
street and asked him to accompany her,
as her father and mother were annoying
her. The affair finally eliminated in
personal encounter between Jenkins and
Mallard.
Jenkins was knocked down and sus-
tanned abrasions about the head and
face, as he claims by being kicked by
Mallard after he was down. Police
whistles were blown and large crowd
quickly gathered, attracted by the shout
ing and screaming. All four interested
parties were taken to the police station,
where the matter was adjusted tempo
rarily. no arrests being made, as no
officer saw the trouble, all being over
when they arrived, Jenkins, however,
declared his intention of swearing to a
complaint against Mallard today on a,
charge of assault.

ALL ABOUT POLITICS.

In row over an election bet last night
John Ellis, a young Englishman, al pres
ent stopping on Buena Vista street, was
badly used up and was obliged to come
to the receiving hospiatl for repairs. He
said that he had made a wager with a
young fellow named John Bitch for the
amount of 81, Ellis taking the Mckinley
end. He won, of course, but claims that
Bitch did not produce the coin in pay
ment of his obligation.
Last evening Ellis pressed him for
payment and quarrel arose. Ellis was
indiscreet enough to lead with his right
at Bitch, who, he says, promptly came
back at him., using brass knuckles. 1t
took only a few minutes to fit Ellis for
the hospital, where deep cash in his
forehead was sewed up and abrasions on
his nose and face were dressed. This is

MCCARTHY GETS HIS FAMILY

Edwin and Nora and Mary and Katie
and Maggie, likewise an infant who has
no name, arrived in Chicago Tuesday
over the Lake Shore road, all tagged
like Christmas packages, and all ad-
dressed to James Mccarthy, freight
handler employed in the Lake Shore
depot. They all belong to James, and
fortunately they did not come C. o. D.,
so that he was able to take them out at
once, unwrap them and place them in
a cool place, where there 7ould be no
danger of their spelling. The eldest of
the children is 16, and they came all the
way from Bally Powren, ireland, and
speak with a rich brogue.

age, acted as chaperon for the whole

WAS THE LAST PLAY.
Attempt Of the Water Company to BUY
Out an Independent Democrat, .

The Water company has been exert
ing every effort that its friends, stock
holders, employees and political heelers
could put forth in the last few days to
get candidate to run for mayor as an
independent who would in some way, as
these people imagined, cut in on the
vote which M. p. Snyder will receive
for Mayor.
But they have failed and failed ut
terly. The time in which candidates
could have petitions filed to get them
on the ballot expired at midnight. and
now none can go on for mayor or any
other ofhce, as the limit prescribed by
the statute has expired
First an endeavor was made to per-
suade Henry Il. Hazard to make the
run. Mr. Hazard is a Silver Republican.
and 1t was thought that his name on
the ballot would draw votes from Sny-
der.
The forces of the Water companv
camped with Mr.. Hazard for several
days but he was proof against all of
their entreaties. He refused for one
moment to consider the proposition of
mis- entering the field. 1t was in vain
tnat all manner of arguments were pre-
Sente0 to him. He declined absolutely.
ana SAID that II petition was put in in
it. q"
Then an endleavor was made to per-
suade Hon.W. H. Workman to consent to
allow his name to be used. He absolute-
ly forbid it.
mot for one moment would I con-
slider the proposition" said Mr.. Work
man in his most emphatic manner last
night. Il will under no circumstances
run for mayor nor allow my name to
be used in that connection"
Despite this fact a petition was IN
circulation late yesterday afternoon and
last evening asking that Mr.. workman
be put on the ballot as an independent
Democrat. OF course the object of this
was to pull votes from Snyder and at
tempt to bring about his defeat.
City Clerk Luckenbach was notified
and he kept his office open until mid,
night as certain parties, including per
son named Thye, and another partv
who is fixer and handler Of the Water
company, had notified him that the ne
tition would be filed.
But the hour of u came. and with 1t
no petition.
So that this closes the chapter. There
will be three candidates for mayor on
the ticket:
M. p. Snyder, Union nominee.
Julius II. Martin, Republican.
Lemuel Biddle. Socialist Labor.
The herald., 1896-11-17

vote had at least the merit of compell-
ing a man to face the public at last, and
the temptation to lie was lin a great
measure, removed. So great is the Sc
crecy at present that even the majority
of the candidates of all the parties do not
know whether they have the support Of
their fellow-racerS or not.
There are men who are as false, tickle
and faithless as fair, frail and flirting
female, but it is hoped that none of them
are in politics in the city of Los Angeles;
especially in those wards where politi-
cal milksops predominant, and in the
impractical squad of pie-house politi-
clans who are so woefully in want of a
political kindergarten as a training
school. Yours truly,

THE LAW CREATES VALUE.

There is a class of people, who, we
believe, are honest and sincere in the
belief that the law cannot add 10 the
market value Of metal by admitting it
to coinage and clothing it with the dig
nifty of legal tender money. The opin-
ion of this class is based solely on
theory and is refuted and destroyed by
the experience OF tests everywhere, To
illustrate, take the situation in Europe.
There is now in actual circulation as
money almost one and half billions OF
dollars in silver, or their coin equivalent
These silver coins are in circulation
with gold coins at the ratio Of 1515 to l.
No one ever designates this silver coin
dishonest money" but it passes from
hand to hand at its full value with gold
at the ratio stated. 1t it not redeem.
able in gold or anything else but is
primary money under the laws of the
various nations of Europe. Now the
bullion out of which this billion and
half is made can be bought in the
markets of those countries for $685..
100000, or $735,O0O,0O0 less than the
amount for which the coin passes cur.
rent as "honest money" Therefore
nearly one-half of the immense value is
created and maintained by law, and has
nothing ese whatever, to sustain it,
IT the Legislation of those nations OF
Europe has not created value in
silver which it does not and could not
possess without such legislation, then
what has thus nearly doubled that value
from the market price Of bullion? 1t is
no experiment, but fact, proved by
the experience of centuries, and yet
some, otherwise intelligent people, in
sist that governments cannot make an
honest, one hundred cent dollar out of
so cents worth Of metal. We say they
can. Our opinion is based on the proof,
" hAe theirs stands alone on a theory.
