FRIDAY, JVNE 'JO, 1890.
The Electric Railway people have a
big gang of men at work on their plant,
and it will soon be in running order.
Electricity is certain to be the great
motor of the future —and of the present,
for that matter. One of these railways
can be built for one-fourth of the
expense of a cable railway, and operated
for one-third of the cost. The first ex
periment here was a failure, but the
company organized by Mr. Dan McFar
land will employ the latest and most
improved methods, with the happiest
results, judging from the uniformly sat
isfactory working of the eastern roads.
The tight which is now going on between
the people of Minneapolis and St. Paul
recalls nothing so forcibly as the old fac
tion battles of the Italian cities in the
middle ages. That the census should
stir up such strife is passing strange.
The wonder is that the two cities do not
consolidate. Their suburbs are rapidly
approaching each other, and if they
could only agree to coalesce they would
present a formidable front to the world,
and rank among cities of the first class,
besides saving money by having only
one set of municipal officials. As it is.
the rivalry between two places that ought
to have interests in common, is some
thing remarkable. A strong effort is
being made just now to consolidate the
several cities and settlements around
New York, but doubtless local jealousies
will defeat a scheme which is recom
mended by many common sense and
economical reasons.
Tin: mania which American girls are
displaying for a title is one of the ab
normal developments of the day. The
French legislature once seriously thought
of putting a price on titles. That is to
say, a sliding scale was proposed. Be
ginning with a baron, which was set at
a couple of thousand francs, a dukedom
could be jjssgh/fj for ten thousand, The
plan miscarried. If it were not for the
fact that titles are prohibited in this
country, it might be a good idea to in
troduce the fashion. Then an American
heiress could buy a husband and a title
at the same time, and she would be able
to choose the one that pleased her best.
Countess, Marchionness, Duchess would
all be at her service, according to the
mood she happened to be in. If she
were in an economical fit she could be
contented with plain countess; while, in
moments of exaltation, she might soar
to the dizzy heights of a duchess. Being
willing and able to pay her money, she
could take her choice.
The country was treated yesterday to
another of Speaker Reed's autocratic
and unwarranted rulings. On his own
motion he referred the senate bill for
free coinage of gold and silver to the
committee on coinage, weights and
measures. He rode over the Democrats
in approved style. Mr. Springer, of
Illinois, however, said something that
will probably disturb the speaker's re
flections as he lies awake o'nights. He
thus apostrophized Reed: "You can
"ignore the rights of representa
"tives of the people, but the people
"will pull you down, sir, at the polls
"next November, and your party with
"you." It is pleasant to know that,
notwithstanding his attempts to crush
the legislation in the interest of our
mines, the arbitrary Reed admits that
free coinage will carry in the bouse. If
it does, Mr. Harrison will face the re
sponsibility of his life. If, in response
to the dictation of Wall street, he vetoes
the measure, he seals the doom of the
Republican party in the west. In the
east that organization is already mori
bund outside of Vermont, Pennsylvania,
and perhaps Maine and Massachusetts.
Tin: boom in spuds is something to en
courage a lazy man to go to work. They
are now selling in Los Angeles for $2 a
hundred, and the farmer himself re
ceives quite $1,75 of this sum, as against
forty-five cents a year ago. The word
"fanner" in this connection is a mis
nomer, at least as respects Americans.
Almost the only people who have raised
potatoes in this locality have been
Chinamen and a few Italians. It is a
quite frequent thing to see a yield of
one hundred and twenty sacks
of potatoes to the acre here
abouts, and a sack generally
weighs one hundred and fifteen pounds.
In other words, the man who was lucky
and industrious enough to plant potatoes
during the past season is now able to
realize at the rate of $230 an acre. Of
course, all this money goes into the
pockets of Chinamen, while the lazy
Caucasian stands around and curses the
country because he can't pick up gold in
the streets. But we are improving in
this respect, and we can hope shortly to
have a producing class whose earnings
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD; FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 20, 1890.
will remain in the country. That potatoes
will always be a profitable crop, although,
of course, the present fancy prices cannot
prevail, is shown by the abundant yield
and the fact that the farmer here can
raise two crops a year. We are thus
able to supply the east with new pota
toes in mid-winter and in the early
spring. Exportation in this and other
lines of truck gardening is increasint; at
a gratifying rate, and we may soon look
to see a colossal business developed
between Los Angeles and the east in a
dozen lines of vegetables. What this
country needs more than anything else
is an immigration of industrious Ger
man and Italian market gardeners, who
will spend their money in California in
stead of deporting it to China. What
would be better than all, would be the
introduction of a really industrious and
enterprising race of American fanners.
THE "EXAMINER" AND HON. S. M.
WHITE.
While the Herald has no desire to
mingle in the controversies which have
arisen from Mr. White's candidacy for
the United States senate, we do not
think that that gentleman's position has
been fairly stated by the Examiner. If
we understand our townsman's position,
and we think we do, it has never entered
his head to suppose that he is an exclu
sive candidate, or that other Democrats
have not as good a right as lie to contest
for the honor. It should be borne in
mind that Mr. White has been quite
modest about the matter. It will
scarcely be denied that there
was an almost universal demand
amongst the leaders of the California
Democracy and amongst the masses
quite as demonstratively that he should
be the gubernatorial candidate of the
party. The two leading contestants for
the honor made their entering the race
contingent upon Mr. White's conclusion
as to whether or no he should run for
that position. In a particularly clear
and unequivocal way our townsman an
nounced that he would not stand in the
way of any of his fellow Democrats.
He surrendered the gubernatorial Held
absolutely to other aspirants. At no
stage did he palter with the situation. On
the contrary, he was direct, straightfor
ward and manly. In an interview with
one of the editors of this journal, which
appeared in the Herald on the 2nd of
February, Mr. White explicitly stated
that under no circumstances would he
be a candidate for governor, and at the
same time he expressed a decided pref
erence for Mayor Pond.
Certainly his conduct at every stage of
an importunate popular demand that he
should run for governor was controlled
by good taste and consideration for other
distinguished Democrats.
As to his candidacy for the United
States senate, the Examiner admits that
it is a laudable ambition in any citizen
to desire to represent his state in the
higher branch of the national legisla
ture. It then remains to ask "what
were the circumstances under which
Mr. White allowed himself to be put
forward as a senatorial aspirant ?"
In the first place, he was asked to
come forward as a representative of the
principle that United States senators i
should be elected by a direct vote of the
people by the Democratic county central !
committee of Los Angeles county. There j
was something in such an invitation !
worthy of Mr. White's respectful atten
tion, and he took the matter under ad
visement. Shortly thereafter came a
similar request from the Fresno county
Democratic central committee. In the
meantime, there had been a quite gen
eral expression of opinion in the press
of both parties favorable both to the
principle and to the candidacy of Mr. j
White. Under such circumstances, it j
can scarcely be disputed that he had a j
right, without presumption, to avow a i
candicacy which he and everybody
knows will be dependant, as to its re
sult, tirst on a Democratic victory, and
secondly on Mr. White's ability to crys
tallize Democratic sentiment in his own
favor.
Another important circumstance in
Mr. White's candidacy ought not to be
overlooked. He is a resident of and is
ardently devoted to Southern California.
He is perfectly aware of the fact that
since California was admitted as a state
into the union this end of the common
wealth has never had a United States
senator. He knows of what inestimable
service he could be to his section in that
body, and outside of his personal ambi
tion he feels that he could do the south
ern portion of the state much good,while
laboring impartially for the advancement
of the whole commonwealth. This cir
cumstance invests his candidacy with a
strength that attaches to that of no other
man who has been mentioned amongst
Democrats for the position. It has been
the scandal of our politics that this sec
tion has so signally failed to get its share
in the distribution of the honors of all
parties.
The Exttminer in hinting that there is
an understanding between Mr. White
and Mr. Collis P. Huntington, on the
senatorial question, in our opinion tran
scends the limits of fair discussion of a
candidate. Even the heat of a contro
versy scarcely justifies such an innuendo.
Its absurdity is patent on its face. That
journal's advocacy of General Clunie for
the United States senate would, under
proper conditions, excite great enthusi
asm here. But it is felt that the long
deferred recognition of Southern Califor
nia must first be accorded before even
the fascinating Clunie can be permitted
to go to the senate of the United States.
Besides, General Clunie is in a position
to become the most useful mem
ber of congress California has
ever had. He has a lien on the
fifth district, and can go hack to the
house of representatives as often as he
may desire. His second term will find
him one of the most powerful men in
Washington, and his third or fourth
may land him in the speaker's chair.
Just now, however, Southern California
demands to be heard, and through a
gentleman who is generally conceded to
be her most repiesentative Democrat.
AMUSEMENTS.
The Grand.
A notably fine audience assembled last
night to hear Mr. Wilson Barrett's ver
sion of Hamlet. There is a divided opin
ion as to whet her it is to any appreciable
extent a new version, but there is no di
vision of sentiment as to its being a
quite artistic and meritorious rendition.
Of late years the great ••Hamlets" have
been William E. Davenport, Edwin
Booth and Fechter. Does Mr. Wilson
Barrett rank with these great actors in
this most exigent role? We are in
clined to think that the answer should
be in the affirmative.
Mr. Barrett aims to make the insanity
of "Hamlet" a thing of very thin ve
neering. But there is certainly nothing
specially new in that, as the lines them
selves show that Shakspeare aimed to
make the insanity a mere convenient
disguise, and '•Hamlet" repeatedly
throws it oil. The conception of repre
senting "Hamlet" as a very young man
is not enough to individualize a dram
atic rendition, because all the circum
stances indicate that he was a youth or
a man in the tirst Hush of manhood. In
addition, Mr. Barrett in person and
make-up suggests a very mature "Ham
let," so that not much can be claimed
for the theory of a new version on that
ground.
We are inclined to think that Mr.
Barrett's •'Hamlet" resembles that of
Fechter more than that of any of the
others named. It is decidedly oi the ro
mantic school, as opposed to the classic
ism of Davenport and Booth. It has
many merits, and those of a high order.
It would be hard to conceive of a more
intense and vivid impersonation, within
those Lines of containment which the true
histrionic artist always observes, than
that to which he treated his audience
last night. His graces of person are re
inforced by a voice of great compass,
flexibility and sonority. Without ever
approaching the line of rant, he can
make his organ vibrate with the energy
of the notes of a trumpet, and his
mobile face affords all ranges of expres
sion. In the even passages of a play the
auditor would not expect tiie really
electrical bursts of passion which fre
quently dignify Mr. Barrett's acting, and
which afford an exquisite gratification
to his audience. That he completely
captured his hearers last night was
shown by his being repeatedly called be
fore the curtain. There was an evident
purpose to force him to make a speech,
and he resisted it until the curtain was
rung down on the last act, when he
made a few remarks expressive of his
thanks at the cordial reception which
had been given to his version of Hamlet
and made the statement that it repre
sented twenty years of study.
Miss Eastlake made a capital Ophelia
and shared largely in the triumph of the
star. We have been somewhat reserved
in out recognition of the very substan
tial merits of this artiste, "and it was
certainly unfortunate that she was in
troduced to a Los Angeles audience in
Claudian, where she figured in a char
acter not adapted for calling out her
really very superior qualifications. Her
"Ophelia" had many striking and
original points, and she acquitted her
self in the mad scene with consummate
judgment and feeling. She was de
servedly applauded.
Mr. George Barrett made a first-class
grave digger and improved our estimate
of his comic capabilities very materially.
The play was well mounted, was very
smoothly interpreted throughout, and
will linger pleasantly in the memory of'
A ngejeiios M an artistic, complete and
intelligent presentation of one of Shaks- \
peare's masterpieces.

"A Pair of Jacks."
The latest of farce-comedies, .1 PotV of
Jacks, begins a week's engagement al
the Grand opera house next Monday. ;
I.ike other comedies of a similar charac
ter, it has the usual song, dance and
specialty parts, but it is promised that

freshness, novelty and originality in
these features. A number of superior
voices will fulfil some of these parts,
notably those of Julia I. Witmark and
Marie Knowles. Messrs. R. G. Knowles
and W. J. Russell will represent the two
"Jacks," and introduce incidental spe
cialties. Others of merit in the cast are
Sol Aiken, John P. Savage and Ernest
Sinclair. A number of pretty girls add
interest. Among them are Julia Aiken,
Mollie Thompson, Nina Hayward, Alice
Greene, Winifred Johnson and Margery
Thompson. The sketch is the work of
H. Grattan Donnelly, and will be seen
during the week with the usual matinee.

THE STORY OF LADY GODIVA.
Justice Done an Amiable and Obliging
Dame at Last.
Slowly but surely we are learning the
true character of men and women whom
malicious or mistaken historians have
misrepresented. The latest person who
has been vindicated is Lady Godiva,
whose portrait appears in the salon this
year. Prof. Measly, who has already
proved that Nero was an enlightened
philanthropist, has now told us
the true story of Godiva. She was
very proud cf her handsome per
son, and having bought a beautiful
bathing costume in Paris, was anxious
to wear it in Coventry, in spite of the
lack of bathing facilities. Her husband
was anxious to raise the rents on an
estate owned by Lady Godiva, but
could not do so without her consent.
She therefore agreed that the rents
should be doubled if her husband would
permit her to ride through Coventry in
her bathing dress. He at once con
sented, and Lady Godiva, hav
ing notified the citizens to pre
pare their opera-glasses, rode
forth in her marvelous costume.
All Coventry was there to see her, except
one churl, who shut himself up in a
back bedroom and said his eyes were not
strong enough to perceive a bathing cos
tume half way across the street. Him
Lady Godiva righteously punished for
his disrespect by blinding him, and
everybody—except the tenants whose
rents were raised—said she was an honor
to her sex.—[Paris edition of the New
York Herald.
