TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 30. 1890. It was given out, when the propri etors of the Belt Electric line first pre sented their street railroad scheme to our people, that the cars should carry their own motive power with them on the electric storage principle. It is now stated that they will use poles for wires. The people will not take kindly to the planting of poles in our streets for this purpose. We have already had some experience in that way, and it lias not been pleasant. Thk dissatisfaction of old and respect- j able Republicans at the way in which ] the primaries were fraudulently car- ] ried last Saturday in several of the wards, finds indignant expression in another column of the Hkrald. Their own papers are silent against them. They are told by them to leave the party if they don't like the methods they com plain of, and they look to us to afford them a vehicle through which to make their protests public. The Jojos have raised a hornet's nest. The old line Re- ! publicans, who are justly outraged at the ! barefaced primary frauds, are not men to submit tamely to this kind of treat- 1 ment. They will make themselves heard, for they will have friends in the convention whose sympathies are with them. Jojoism is a style of politics that will not long be tolerated in this latitude by any party. The Democratic party has now its op portunity to elect the entire county ticket next November. It will be im possible for the Republican convention to make up a ticket that will be satis factory to its party. The Jojos have car ried the primaries and will follow their victory up by combining upon a slate ticket composed of some of the scaliest representatives of the ring. Every Dem ocrat is called upon to take an active in terest in the primaries of his party. The best element must turn out and vote. As the primaries will be held under the Porter law, the ballot box can be protected against repeaters and other fraudulent voters. A few prompt arrests of these gentry, if they attempt the Jojo game, will cool their ardor and leave the polls to the honest voters. We want representative Democrats in the convention. We can get these if our people do their duty. And if we get these, we will nominate a ticket that Will go through with flying colors. Hun dreds of disgusted Republicans are ready to vote for a first-class Democratic ticket. It seems that the announcement, that Markham's hand had become so inflam ed from constant shaking with voters that he would have to forego this mode of carrying his magnetism to the elec tors, was not altogether correct. It is true that when he reached Martinez, after the ordeal he had gone through at Vallejo, his dexter "bunch of fives" had become alarmingly swollen, and his friends were fearful that his canvass would come to premature termination. Bat Dan. Burns, ever fertihf in resources, got a bottle of Pond's extract, and a liberal appli cation of this wonderful lotion so far reduced the inflammation that when Markham reached Benicia he was able to shake hands with all the employes in the great tannery there. It is be lieved that the tanbark also helped him ont, for when he reached Woodland that same evening, he went bravely through one of the most trying hand shaking ordeals he had ever yet en countered. Now that he has discovered the virtues of Pond's extract he will probably be equal to a hand-shake with every man north of Sacramento. THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1890. RAILROADING A RAILROAD FRANCHISE THROUGH. The indecent haste with which the city council has railroaded the Belt Elec tric franchise through, gives rise to the most serious doubts as to the entire in tegrity of that scheme. Certainly a fran chise which proposes to practically grid iron the city, to run cars over nearly every important street, and to encircle the city with rails, is one which should only be granted, if granted at all, after the most careful deliberation. One week ago the newspapers were tirat apprised of the character and ex tent of the franchise to be asked for. The scheme was carefully kept away from the public till the very last mo ment. How long the members of the council were familiar with it before it reached the public we cannot say; but from the precipitous alacrity with which they granted it we presume they each and all had had it thoroughly explained to them in all its details some time ago. Had that not been the case it is hardly to be believed that they would have been prepared, on so short a notice, to grant so important a franchise for fifty years. There are many suspicious circumstan ces surrounding this lightning scheme put through with lightning rapidity, not the least of which is the deft manner in which the people were led to believe that this new electric railroad did not involve the planting of poles in our streets, but that it would be operated on the storage plan. Now it turns out that it is the old thing, and that a for est of poles will be put up in all the streets through which it is to pass. Had this been known last week, there would have been a storm of opposition raised against the granting of the fran chise. There are other considerations which should have induced the council to legis late upon this franchise with the utmost deliberation. Among these is the ques tion whether it is altogether just to in jure the property of the cable car com pany by bringing a new road into com petition with it after it has expended several million dollars in giving us one of the best, if not the best, cable car sys tems in the United States. This com pany have acted in perfect good faith with our city. They have carried out all their engagements, and have operated their lines, if not at a loss, certainly without profit. It is neither just nor generous on our part to make their ef forts to build up a fairly profitable busi ness more remotely possible than ever. But we hoid that this belt franchise has been put through with shameful and indecent haste, when it should have been subjected to the utmost delibera tion and the widest discussion before it was placed upon its passage. This is a case for Mayor Hazard to seriously pon der before he places his signature to the ordinance granting the franchise. WEALTH THAT IS OURS AND NOT OURS. Tlie oil wells near Newhall are now yielding finely. We learn that the out put is about four hundred barrels a day. Last week a twenty-live barrel well was struck near the Gelcich claim, and new plants are being put up at various places where oil has been tapped. It is among the things that cannot be accounted for, that these wells, so rich in oils and giv ing so continuons and increasing an out flow, are of little or no value commer cially to this city. The crude oils are all carried five hundred miles away to be refined, when refineries might just as well be established here within thirty miles of the wells. Is it because our people lack the enterprise to draw this great industry to our city, or is it be cause tlie oil territory has nearly all fallen into the hands of a monopoly that has no interest whatever in this part of the state excepting to carry away its natural wealth? It should not be a very great or expensive undertaking to run a pipe line to this city, and thus secure to our people the benefit of the large em ployment which the refining of the crude oil would give us. It is a very un fair as well as unnatural diversion of the benefits which should properly accrue to our locality, this building up of indus tries five hundred miles away out of a crude material furnished by nature at our very doors. Perhaps the owners of these extensive wells would find it to their ultimate advantage to try to culti vate friendly relations wit h the people of this neighborhood. If. however, they only care to strip our territory of its nat ural wealth and make it beneficial to re mote localities, a feeling may be aroused here that will not be to their permanent advantage. They may, of course, say: "What are you going to do about it?" And we confess thifcis a hard as well as a brutal question to answer. A writ of mandamus was served upon the board of supervisors yesterday to compel that body to act upon a petition from cultivators in Azusa, demanding the formation of an irrigation district in that locality under the Wright law. The writ was referred to the law rimi of Houghton, Silent cc Campbell. Is it not strange that a matter of this kind should be referred to a private law firm, instead of the district attorney, the of ficial law officer of the board? It is perhaps true that the district attorney does not carry enough guns to handle a case of this importance, and that the board did not feel justified in entrusting it to that officer. The comment on this is that the Republican party is respon sible for placing in office this official who is thus discredited by the board of supervisors, also a Republican body. Of course the tax-payers will be called upon to pay the firm of Houghton, Silent & Campbell a fat fee for their ser vices; but if the people will elect Repub lican inefficients to office, they must ex pect to pay for the luxury. The Jojo party is badly split up since the"boys" got away with the primaries. A slate ticket has been prepared, and the chances are nickels to dollars that it will go through as slick as goose grease next Saturday. As the people are not in the mood to elect the old gang or their proteges, the Jojos will, in all probability, get left. AMUSEMENTS. Miss Maude Granger at the Grand. Opera House. Miss Maude Granger made her first appearance in Los Angeles at the Grand last night in a very emotional melo drama, scene laid in Kngland, by Kichard Davey and Lucy Cooper, called Inherited. The name refers to the afflic tion of insanity which runs through sev eral generations of the heroine's family nnd includes herself. The leading role is about all there is in the play worth noticing, and its chief element is the emotional. Helen Carruthers going mad twice, escaping from a mad housein names once, and wandering back to her own home to find her child very ill, and her husband just then at church getting married to her dearest friend. Besides this she makes the mistake of supposing her child to be dying and poisons herself in the last act, and dies, surrounded by the husband, his second wife, his father and her own child. There is a bit of side play in the piece between a very impossible American youth and a very pretty English girl. The remarkable prettiness of Miss Car rie Elbert, who takes the part of Fay Merwin, really relieves the nothingness of her own role, and the stupidity of her lovers to some degree. Miss Granger is an experienced and painstaking actress, but she is rather mature in all respects to be playing in the roles of a young woman just getting married. She does not fit such casts at all. She played the part well and made much of the situations in it. She has the rare merit of not tearing the passions to tatters. She does not overdo her work. A large audience was present, which enjoyed the play greatly. It is on for tonight, which closes the short season, and tomorrow night Mr. Dixey will once more present his inim itable Adonis before a Los Angeles audi ence. The Circus. The town is on the gui vive forold John Robinson's big circus. This show will appear here for one day, giving a mati nee and evening performance. This will be on Thursday. At 10 a. m. of that day the great street parade will take place. The show will be at the foot of Fifth street, near the the Arcade depot, and the parade will be formed there. It will march up Fifth to Main, to the Plaza, back to Spring, down Spring to Eighth, to Broadway, to Second, to San Pedro and back, to place of starting. A GOOD MAN. But He Must Go Under That Snow Drift. H. A. Unruh of Arcadia lias, at the request of many residents in the seventy sixth district, announced himself as a candidate for the Republican nomina tion as member of the assembly. Mr. I'd rub is a very popular man and deser vedly so. He has done good work for Southern California in many ways and has great numbers of friends who will sympathize with him in the knowledge that though he will probably win the nomination he seeks, it will only be to meet the fate of being under the big snowdrift which in November will cover up so many of his party associates. "It is a fact," that Hood's Sarsaparilla does cure scrofula, salt rheum and other diseases or afl'ections arising from Impure state or low con dition of the blood, overcomes that tired feel ing, creates a good appetite, and gives strength to every part of the system. Try it. Interesting. THE AMERICAN CASUALTY INSURANCE AND SECURITY COMPANY OF BALTIMORE CITY, with a capital of ONE MILLION DOL LARS ($1,000,000) and a cash surplus of ONE HALF MILLION DOLLARS ($500,000), has been licensed to transact business in this state by the Insurance Department. This company, organized by prominent business men active in the management of LARGE INSURANCE IN TERESTS throughout the country, having stockholders and directors comprising some of the WEALTHIEST AND MOST INFLUENTIAL MERCHANTS AND BANKERS OF BALTI MORE AND NEW YORK, is provided with a charter sufficiently broad to enable it to occupy a position SECOND TO NONE AMONG INSUR ANCE ORGANIZATIONS OF THE WORLD. Theeompafiy will do a GENERAL ACCIDENT BUSINESS, not confined to the limitations of what is generally known as accident insurance, but will introduce original and attractive fea tures which cannot fail to commend themselves to the intelligent insuring public. Employers, particularly, will be interested in the plan of insuring against all liability on account of th» personal injury or death of employes, resulting from any and every accident, happening to them while in active service; or this insurance mity be effected when the employer is NOT LI ABLE, and may also include his liability to ward the public in case of accident. Another distinct feature is protection to steam users throughout the country against all property losses caused by accidents to, or by boilers, engines, elevators, steam pipes, automatic sprinklers, or other specified machinery. In connection with this subject, it is well to men tion the few exigencies which may have arisen and may again occur, to demonstrate the value of the protection offered by this company: Your mill is blown to atoms by an explosion, the cause of which remains forever a mystery, and you not only suffer a physical loss caused thereby, but may be liable also for personal in juries. Your engines break down, causing loss and damage to property, and YOU ARE LI ABLE. Your elevator falls and is dashed to pieces, causing loss to property, with probable and se rious loss of life and injury to persons, and YOU ARE LIABLE. Your boilers — old, new, patent, or safety boilers—explode, causing terrible damage to your own and surrounding property, perhaps injuring and killing several persons, and YOU ARE LIABLE. Your truckman runs over some one in the street, possibly a child, causing fatal injuries, and YOU ARE LIABLE for heavy damages. Continued rains swell the streams and rivers, dams give way, aud in an incredible small space of time your fortune may be swept to de struction. Your property may be damaged or entirely destroyed by earthquakes, cyclones, floods, wind-storms and tornadoes. With the advance of civilization many at tempts are made to chain the nowerfti! electric fluid to serve us heat, power and light; but these attempts are not always successful, and theftcrrible danger is always present and often causes terrible injury or death und great dam age to property. To all the different cases mentioned, where injury und loss occur, the principle of insurance is applicable, the, liability of the few unfortun ates being assumed by the many who do not suffer. THE AMERICAN CASUALTY INSURANCE AND SECURITY COMPANY is orgunized to meet the present advanced ideas, the widening field and the growing demand for insurance that will furnish, under one contract, feuturcs which hitherto have only been given under several contracts, and, also, Including features never before offered by any company. No doctrine of insurance Is more fully es tablished than the proposition that the larger the capital, thejwider the Held, the greater num ber of risks, and the more extended the terri tory over which a company extends its opera tions, themore secure will be the guarantee that itcan meet its obligations promptly and obtain substantial success. Altogether the new company has entered upon an attractive field of operatfons. and the high financial standing of the Board of Directors in Baltimore and New York, added to the experience and enterprise of its officers and agents, furnishes reasonable assurance of its prosperity.
