WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 1%, 1890. The total war debt is now down almost to the billion point. The state convention of fruit-growers will meet at Santa Cruz November 18th to 21st. Skilled fruit-growers will be present, and topics of the greatest inter est will be discussed at the meeting. The Santa Cruz politicians have de vised a plan that ought to be followed. The successful nominees gave a ban quet to their defeated rivals, and thus cemented the strained bonds of friend ship. The Republican ring think a week will not be long enough to strip their candi dates naked and show their spotted men to the public eye. Said public eye is peeled, and its vision is keen. It will pierce through all disguises in less than a week. Property holders along Main street have a long political knife in their belt for all members of the present city hall ring. They look at their street with all its unsightly chuck holes, and then com pare the perfect surface of Broadway, and they say thereby hangs a tale—of woe to the ring. The board of directors of the state citrus fair will meet at Sacramento De cember 2d. The principal business will be selecting the place for holding ~the next citrus fair. It is desirable that every member of the board be present. It would be well to have it somewhere north,, so as to let the people see what Southern California does in the way of ' citrus fruit production. The Terminal Railroad company is really making good progress in putting in the levee on the east bank of the river. A cargo of lumber is being rap idly placed as facing along the piles be low the Downey-avenue bridge. An inner line of "anchor" piles has been driven from the Santa Fe bridge to be ' 'low the Kuhrts-street bridge to tie the levee to from behind. Other develop ments in the same line are promised in a short time. 1 I ask you, in casting your ballots on Tuesday next, to remember that you can sustain the administration of an able, conscientious and independent president, or you can set a seal of doubt upon it; yon can do much to perpetuate Republican administration or you can do much to destroy it. It is in your hands. I have come here, not with the purpose of eulogizing the administra tion, but to bear my testimony and give you a warning, that as Pennsylvania votes on Tuesday next, the nation votes two years hence. So said James G. Blame at Philadel . . phin, on the Saturday preceding the elec tion. Ergo, in 1892 the administration ■will go Democratic. The San Francisco Bulletin, witli its usual claptrap and insincerity, says California goes Republican and the east Democratic, because our people, as a rule, are more intelligent than our old friends whom we bade goodbye at the east a few years ago. If the late elec tion had been a matter of intelligence, this great silver-producing state would never have voted for the party that failed to pass the free coinage bill, be cause it was scared away from its duty by the squeak of the little man under his grandfather's hat, the little corpora tion lawyer, who threatened to veto such a bill if presented to him. Canada is pushing the beet sugar in dustry with renewed vigor since the passage of the McKinley bill, which permits the introduction of sugar, duty free, into the United States. Yet we ought to be more than a match for any country in this industry. The Canadian beets produce only 11 per cent, of saccharine matter at best. Our beets run at 14 to 20 per cent. Then for fif teen years at least the new tariff law provides a bounty of 2 cents per pound on domestic sugar. California is the best place in the world for this industry, and Southern California has this ad vantage over other parts of this state, that beets may be grown and the plant kept active all the year round. In the case of one noted Republican at least, Blame was right when he said there was no balm in Gilead to heal the wound of the big defection from the g. o. p. That unhealable wound was in Deacon Elliott Shepherd's heart. He -could find no scripture text to express his feelings properly. Not even, Oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how I would have gotten your chickens under my wing, and ye would not; no, nor that THE LOS ANOELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12. 1890. wail, Oh Absalom, my son; nor yet, Ichabod, the glory is departed, would do. Deacon Shepherd had to fly to more mundane things for comfort, and turned the United States flag upside down to express his disgruntlement. A GOOD OCCUPATION. Mr. Mathew Stanley Quay, no matter what virtues he may lack, is certainly a gentleman of great directness of meth ods, and his graces of expression are beyond compare. His appreciation of the result of the eastern elections was expressed with an epigrammatic brevity that could not be improved upon. He correctly thought that the business of himself and hid colaboratenrs hereafter was to "saw wood." The wonder is that the people of Pennsylvania did not real ize earlier that this was the natural function of such people as Quay, Fob Mackey, Kimball, and the other political bosses that made the ascendancy of the Republican party infamous in the key stone state, of late years. As wood sawyers they would have come up to any reasonable stand ard of acquirements, but as po litical leaders they have fallen far be low any intelligent expectation. It must be a subject of bitter mortification to the Republicans of the imperial state of Pennsylvania to know to what despic able leadership their party has been confided. First came Simon Cameron, a man of limitless political immorality, but who possessed many endearing qualities. He illustrated every vice which could attach itself to a man of so many personal attractions. He is the lirst public man who familiarized the Ameri can people with the idea that great pub lic trusts could be bought in the open market, like any chattel. In 1858 he bought his seat in the United States senate by the purchase of the votes of Minear, Lebo and Wagonseller, three recreant Democrats. The Democratic cau cus had voted for Col. John W. Forney, and these wretches bolted the action of the caucus for coin or crisp notes, in hand duly delivered. Then came the reign of a set of politicians of whom Quay was the natural Corinthian capital, to employ an architectural simile. In the later days of hie ascendency old Simon Cameron surrounded himself with Bob Mackey, Rutan and Quay. Mackey died at a premature age after a life of unexampled licentiousness. Rutan fell to the rear, and Quay was left to the undisputed mastery of the Republican party. Ilia career as treasurer of the state has been portrayed by the New York World, and it has not been contra dicted by Quay. That he was a defaulter, aud was only saved by lucky specula tions with the state funds, seems not to be seriously questioned. Sawing wood is a congenial occupa tion for such people. Evidently the Republicans in this city fear the verdict the people are to pass on them next month. Only a brief week is to be given to discuss the ticket, and the issues. But so well is the mal- administration of the city understood that the week will be ample. Of course, with the exception of the mayor, few of the present officers dare go before the people again. Probably not one of the members of the council will be renom inated, and few of the other officials will care to go to the people for a favorable verdict on their course. The putting up of new men will not be of much avail. The tax-payers are suspi cious of the party and its methods. Some of the moßt incompetent men now in office are out for a renomination, and the party papers are holding their, up as marvels of all excellence. That will discredit all to be said in favor of new men. If the Democratic party will put forward men of known business ability and integrity, with no entangling alli ances, or big axes to grind at the public stone, they will be elected. To compare small things to great, there are features cropping out in the Benwell murder case not dissimilar to the Damron forgery case now being tried In Los Angeles. By dispatches today it appears that the man Litchfield contin ues to write letters purporting to give the inside history of the murder of Ben well, and exculpating Burchell so far as the actual killing goes. Threats are made to murder the judge, jury, and all concerned, if Burchell is hung, The trick is of course for those of the infamous gang that are free to get out of the toils of the law their guilty partner. Burchell is likely to pay the penalty of his cowardly act all the same. In the local case, Chadwick and Damron by their swearing cleared Lockwood, then Lockwood and Damron combined and cleared Chadwick; and now Chadwick has slipped clear out of the clutches of the public prosecutor, and cannot be found to tell what he knows on his friend Jim Damron. Will Damron he acquitted? It would be difficult to explain why the United States bonds due in 1881 do not find their way more rapidly to the treasury for redemption. There are nearly $70,000,000 of them out, and the secretary offers their face, plus inter est to August 31, 1891, for their surren der, yet they come in slowly. That is all they can bring at the end of the year. Such of these bonds as are not held for the circulation of national banks, one would suppose, would be rushed in for redemption, but they are not. Yet they will cease to draw interest after next year. Estimates are made that before the opening of the coming year the supplies of California dried fruits at the east will all have gone out of the market. This means a bare market for the next crop, and this means an active demand for fruit with good prices here. The Cali tornia fruit grower is "in it" from this on. In the future the country will turn to ua for its supply of fruit. Good lands in this sun-kissed clime are going to be worth aa much silver as would cover their superfices in standard dollars. ON HIS LAST LEGS. Stanford's Great Stallion Electioneer Nearing His End. Electioneer is on his last legs. He is twenty-two years old and is now a wreck. The great stallion has produced mai.y famous trotters, and has more than any other horse contributed to the renown of California bred stock. Electioneer was purchased of Mr. Backman of Stony Ford, N. V., by Sen ator Stanford in 1877. The sum paid for him was $10,000. He is by Rysdyke's Hambletonian, out of Green Mountain Maid, by Henry Clay, his second dam being Shanghai Mary. Electioneers first get was Fred Crocker, who made at the time the world's fastest two-year-old record—2 :25 1 j. Wild Flower followed with 2:21 at tbe same age. Manzanita made 2:17 3 4 in her three-year-old form, and 2:10 in the third heat of a race when four-year-old. The 2:10 stood good un til Sunol tapped at fame's door. Hindoo Rose held the yearling record, 2:30j-.,. until Norlaine beat it with 2:31. Nor laine was by Norval, another of Elec tioneers get, so the hon r was in the family. Hindoo Rose also made the three-year-old record of 2:19... Sunol, with her two-year-old record of 2:18 and her three-year-eld record of 2:10)fc, of course capped the climax of greatness in the Electioneer family. Palo Alto also came in for his share of glory for the stables along with the others. The prices brought by Electioneer get have been something phenomenal. Sunol sold for nearly $00,000; Anteeo sold for $30,000; his brother, Anteevolo. sold for $30,000; Bell Boy brought $51,000 at public auction; the two-year-olds sold at $12;500 each, and one yearling sold fur $12.500; Norval sold for 115,000, and a large number have brought $10,000 each. Charles Marvin, the driver of Snnol and the manager of the Palo Alto stud, is strongly in favor of sending the great old horse to this city for a change of cli mate. His owner, however, does not favor the plan, but lias sourrounded him with every comfort that money can pro cure. Electioneer has never stood pub licly. However, with his great progeny, it is probable that his blood will flow freely through many generations to come, hia get numbering something over 400, an aristocratic number. PLUCKY FIREMEN. They Fight an Oil Fire with Energy and Success. At 9:20 o'clock yesterday morning the fire brigade was called out by an alarm rung in from box 23, to extinguish a lively blaze at the yard of the Standard Oil company on San Fernando street, the contents of two large oil tanks having become ignited from too close proximity to a tinner's furnace, used for soldering oil cans. Engines Nos. 2 and 4, the Park hose and the hook and ladder companies were soon on the spot, and tiie firemen worked like Trojans to prevent the flames from spreading to the five other tanks filled with the combustible fluid, which stood within fifty feet of those which were already burning. Fortu nately but a small quantity of oil, com paratively speaking, was in the two tanks which caught fire, and after half an hour's hard work the blaze was ex tinguished. The damage, amounting to about $600, was covered by insurance. The memberp of the fire brigade de serve great credit for their promptitude, and the manner in which they worked* in the face of the great danger which, threatened them. WHICH WILL WIN? Another Outrage by the City Council Well Under Way. T. Rebant, a property owner on Aliso street, east of Alameda, called at the Hebald office yesterday to express the indignation of the residents along the river that any proposition has been seriously entertained by the council of narrowing the present limits of the Los Angeles river. A protest of 150 names has gone to the council against this latest outrage on the people, and a vig orous fight will be made to prevent the Terminal or any other railroad from carrying out any scheme to flood the lower part of the city. The people along tiie west side of the river want 300 feet space for the river to flow in, and say that half a dozen transcontinental railroads would not pay for the damage of another overflow. One of the prop erty owners in that section, who lost a child by drowning during the overflow of several years ago, remarked to a Herald representative a few days ago : ''The people are beginning to count the days, hours and minutes when the pres ent council will be powerless to do more mischief. The council waits to see what the people want, and then votes unani mously the. other way." However, the people in the lower part of the town will make a gallant fight for their homes and invoke the courts, if necessary. Foolish Martyrs. There are martyrs and martyrs. Some were wise in the loftiest, some are silly in the most improvident sense The word improvident ex aetly applies to the latter class, since they neglect to provide against threatened danger" We commiserate, but we cannot respect them. Among the silliest are martyrs to rheumatism, who might have prevented daily and nightly recurring torture by the early use of Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, a bloou depurent more efficient in removing the virus of thisc mplatct front the circulation than any thus far brought to the notice of the general community and the medical profession. It nrcmotes greater activ ity of the kidneys, the channel through which blood impurities, productive of rheumatism, gout and dropsy are principally expelled, and it imparts v degree of vigor to digestion aril assimilation which has a most favorable bear ing on the general health. It also remedies biliousness, kidney troubles aLd malaria. Ilest California Jams and Jellies At Seymour JL Jefcnson Cos. Maniocs, for puddings, at Jevne's. J.C.
