A Place to Live Long.

1t is noticed that there seems to be
an increase of longevity the world over,
and a centenarian is no longer much of
a curiosity. An instance in point is
that of a centenarian party given at
Lexington, KY, recently, by James NJ.
Hall, aged 101 years, but as sprightly
as though but 60. Mr.. Hall stated
that the combined ages Of himself and
four brothers and sisters was 463
years. He has outlived four wives.
1t should be rendered, however, that
the air and food is good in the blue
grass region, and that the drinking
fluid is exceptionally fine.

Age has deformities enough of its
own; do not add the deformity of vice.
Such as thy words are, such will thy
affections be; such thy deeds as thy

The best of men who ever wore

humble, tranquil spirit; the first true
gentleman that ever breathed.
Only as each man or each woman

BETTER CITY GOVERNMENT.
Two Campaign Meetings Last Night
Tonight's Rally.

Two Better City Government. cam
paign meetings were held last night, one
in the Fourth and the other in the Ninth
ward Attendance at each was good.
The Fourth ward meeting was at Pico
Heights. Joseph Gudinger presided
The first speaker was IL. w. O'Mel-
veney, who gave a brief history of the
better city government meeting and
described the postal primary system.
Hon. S. O. Houghton spoke of nomina-
tion by rings and cliques under the old
system and showed how the plan of the
league gave the opportunity to all citi-
ZenS to have voice in the selection of
candidates. He paid warm tribute
to Hon. Herman Silver, league nominee
for councilman.
Mr.. Silver was introduced and spoke
of the fact that he was nominated with
out seeking the office, and only consent
ed to make the run because he felt it was
a public duty. If elected he would try
to give the office his closest attention
and would work to the best of his abil-
tiles to advance the interests of the
ward and the whole city.
S. p Mulford gave figures concerning
the profits of the water company, made
comparisons with the water rates of
other cities and showed how it would
be to the interest of the city to own
it's own water system.
Charles Cassat Davis, nominee for the
board of education, confined his remarks
principally to the work of the League
of Better City Government, which, he
said, was only begun.
The herald., 1896-12-05

George Hull, nominee for city assessor
and Burr Bassell, nominee for city en-
gireer, were introduced, and each made
short speech, stating his position as a
non-partisan candidate.
The Ninth ward meeting was in Kor-
bel hall, Boyle Heights c. M. Wells
presided and made some laudatory re-
marks of the league candidates.
Burr Bassell, nominee for city engi-
neer, made short speech calling atten-
ton to the fact that he was not a poll
tician. neither a speech maker; that his
life had been devoted to professional
work; therefore he could stand as ar
independent candidate with good grace
If elected he would go into Office with but
a single pledge, and that was to conduct
the office with an eye single to the good
of the public service.
r. E. Gibbon made short speech on
the desirability of taking the city gov
ernment out of politics and electing
men to Office on their merits solely.
Councilman f.. l.. Blanchard. nominee
for reelection. made very brief speech

board of education.
f. w. Brotherton made the speech Of
the evening, and in concise, forcible Ian
guage advocated -partisanship in
city politics.
George w. Burton made the conclud-
ing speech, and was warmly applauded d
He pointed out the benefits of good gov
ernment to nontaxpayers as we'll as
taxpayers. In concluding he spoke a
good word for each of the leagtie can
didates.

theater this evening promises to be a

sary to go early. Admission is free

COULD NOT HAVE SAID 1T.
Samples of the Campaign Lies Beina
Circulated About Samuel Rees.

The campaign liar is growing more and
more active as the day of election draws
near. His work" in many instances,
is so raw" that people are simply
amused at his feats of distortion and
contortion.
One of the most unblushingly perpe-
trated falsehoods is the story being IN
dustriously circulated by some friend Of
the Southern Pacific and the Santa Mon
lea scheme to the effect that Mr.. Samuel
Rees, who is the anti-monopoly candi-
date for the council in the Ninth ward
once gave utterance to the statement in
public that dollar and half a day
and a pair of overalls were enough for
any good workingman. The cheek of
this is astounding.
In the light of Mr.. Rees record and af-
filiations this story is so palpably untrue
that it is only worth notice long enough
to be laughed at, but it serves the pur-
pose of showing how by little use of the
art of mental magic and the production
of some dissolving views in the scheme
of intellectual perversion one man may
be made to occupy the shoes of another,
especially when that other happens to
be opposed to him in politics. How
much more likely would be the story if
it had been made to fit man whom the
Times recently. in an editorial, openly
charged with trucking to the Southern

The Eighth ward is not the only one in
which these fragrant violations of the law
are practiced, though it is doubtless
more susceptible than the others for va
rious reasons to this kind of politics, for
the Third ward shows up some pretty
startling figures itself.
An incomplete canvass of the Twen-
tieth precinct of the Third ward exposes
wholesale stuffing of the register. Out
of 1888 names, so far canvassed, rs can
not be accounted for in the matter of res
idence. These I5 are names of men who
do not live in the places designated as
their residence-have never lived there
at all, the keepers Of the places of lodg-
ing say. To be more specific, it is dis
covered that out of 75 names given as
those of residents of buildings on the
west side of South Spring street, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth streets, "a were of
non residents or are fictitious names
out of 55 names of supposed residents in
buildings on the same street, between
Sixth and Seventh Streets 90 cannot be
properly accounted for-they are moth
ing more than the creatures Of an in
genious fancy. Out of 81 names recorded
as of voters living on South Main street,

itself in this regard:

Earl Rogers made the speech of the

He gave a fine argument in favor of
the union ticket, and showed up the
flimsiness of the clause in the contract
of the water company, which the Re-
publicans are insisting upon in their de-
sire to sell the city to this monopoly to
the extent of $2,00O.000 more than its
plant is worth. From legal point of

So far as the Eighth ward is concerned,

The Herald is opposed to Mr.. Baker
on the broad ground that it believes a
vote for Candidate James A. Craig will
be mere in harmony with the interests
of the city, inasmuch as Mr.. Craig rep
resents the principle of absolute munich
pal ownership, while Mr. Baker is, un-
fortunately, tied down with the Repub-
lican platform, and that document aims
either to pay the Water company an
exorbitant price for it's plant or continue
the evil of corporate control, but 1t has
no part In any kind of opposition which
exaggerates a mans ordinary business
affairs. 1t may be, or it may-not be, that.
because the name of the Baker Iron
works is on the material used by the
Water company, the two companies $
have interests in common, but this Is
not a proper basis to work upon in OPP
