WBESKSDAY, JULY. 27, 1898.
Our World's Columbian Fair Illustrated
Edition.
The Hkbald will l«Bue a world's Colombian
fair edition ol the IllUstraTl* VHebald. Ar
rangements have been mtde with the most fin
ished artists In America to Insure tbe greatest
perfection of detail to the illustrations. A
quarter of a million copies of this matchless
publication will be issued. It will be printed
on heavy book paper, and will be distributed
by uniformed boys during the progress of the
exposition, and the distribution will be under
the dlrtctlon of an intelligent superintendent,
who will see that each copy shall go where It
■will do the most good. It will be devoted to
Southern California, every portion of which
will be treated impartially. In a few days ac
credited agents of the Hebald will start out
on the work of canvassing the people in the
interest of this mammoth enterprise.
Those who can contribute advertising
patrinage are expected to do so, while
almost anybody can subscribe for copies
to be either mailed east by themselves, or dis
tributed at the world's fair through the Her
ald's agency. There is no reason why the
greatest boom ever known In tbe history of
Southern Calllornia should net follow In the
wake of the Columbian world's lair. It is the
mission of the Bbbald to see that this shall be
the case. The bigh standard of previous edi
tions of the Hebald is a guarantee that this
supreme effort will be of exceptional merit.
Tne aim will be to mate it nonpareil. It will
be noted that in this ambitious edition all the
counties in Southern California are to be in
cluded. We bespeak lor this enterprise the
generous patronage which will undoubtedly be
accorded to it, and which in reality wi:l only
be bread cast upon tho waters, which will re
turn before the lapse of many das s. This is the
missionary era in Southern California. We
need people, and the Hebald proposes to see
that they shall get here in great numbers and
of the right kind.
There has been a "watermelon trust"
formed by the fruit-growers in the
vicinity of Lodl, San Joaquin county.
We shall next expect to hoar of a
cholera moibus trust formed by the
colored citizens of Stockton,
A former Stockton editor, now em
ployed on the Spokane Falls papers, is
under arrest for criminal libel preferred
by a young lady of the latter place, for
charging that she compromised herself
with the district attorney in order to
facilitate the escape of her brother who
was awai!i n S bis trial for bora* stealing.
A dangerous charge to make, eTSU U it
were true. ____________
It ib claimed that Paraguay, in South
America, possesses a race of cats that
are different from any in the known
world. They are totally dumb, and
therefore not likely to come in contact
with the bachelor's bootjack. This calls
to mind tbe old song:
"Oh, no, wo never mention htr.
Her name is never heard,"
and beyond doubt her name was "Ma
riar!"
laj Australia a public house is not
called a hotel except it has a bar,
which is generally the house's largest
aource of revenue. A public house
without a bar is called a "coffee pal
ace." This leads the Rochester Post to
remark that tbe coffee palaces of Mel
bourne are the finest in the world; and
that the grounds are likewise very fine.
That man had evidently imbibed his
coffee in one of these edifices and had
grounds for complaint.
Disposisg of fruit by auction is one of
the novelties of the trade in San Fran
cisco, and we are not sure but the prop
osition is a good one. To begin with, it
enables each retailer to buy just such
fruit, with regard to both quality and
quantity, as he may desire, and at the
aame time it gives the exporter a chance
to pick up any choice lots for shipment
to Chicago, St. Louis, Portland or Seat
tle. In any event competition is in
aured by this method, and the producer
reaps the benefit thereof. We predict
that the auction system has "come to
atay."
Exchanges coming to our table are
almost unanimous in their condemna
tion of the cruel punishment visited
upon the private soldier who exulted
over the shooting of Manager Frick, of
the Homestead iron works. That the
soldier deserved punishment for exult
ing over a cowardly crime, was plain
enough, but it was quite enough to
shave his head and expel him to the
tune ot the Rogue's March. To tie a
man up by the thumbs till he faints
from sheer pain, is inquisitorially
brutal. The army has its punishments
plainly let forth in the Articles of War,
and does not contemplate anything like
torture. Colonel Streator's place in the
national guard of Pennsylvania should
be made vacant for cause.
Benjamin's downfall will come through
the wives and the mothers of the na
tion, just because he ia the exponent of
the high tariff doctrine, which makes it
itnpoa sible to "keep house" on anything
like an ordinary salary. Take the item
of oil cloth, which every housewife likes
to have on her kitchen floor. Up to the
time that McKinley took hold of the
tariff, oil cloth was taxed at 40 per cent,
which was protection enough for any
man who did not want the earth. But
under the broad and sheltering winga of
the Ohio tariff-ticker, the manufactui-
er« could n' A divide ptofltg witn tneir
operatives the both, so
they gave, ¥referenc e to the latter. Now
among necessaries of life, oil
c,oth k tax«d at 15 centa epeciflcally
yard, in addition to 30 per cent
*' i valorem, which increases the tax to
about 80 per cent in all. The house
l wives of America, except such aa those
whose husbanda are office-holders, wilt
make it hot for their husbands if they
dare to vote a ticket tbat endorsee Har
rison and McKinley.
FRUITS OF PROFESSIONAL PATRIOTISM.
A good exemplification of tbe methods
practiced here under the auspices of
Union league government, is to be found
in tbe outcome of a trial in which Judge
Clark, of the superior court, yesterday
rendered a decision in favor of Los An
gelea county againet the principal surety
upon the official bond of the late J. W.
Broaded, who waa county treasurer of
this county. The judgment was for the
face of several warrants paid by aaid
treaaurer during hia term of office,
which warrants were fraudulently
and diahoneetly drawn upon aaid
treaaurer by the then auditor of
this county. The law provides
that the clerk of the board of aupervis
ors shall, upon the adjournment of each
session -of aaid board, furniah to tbe
county treasurer a Hat of all claims ad
judicated upon and allowed by tbe
board; and the law distinctly says that
the treaaurer shall not pay or endorse,
ac eligible to payment, any warranta
that are not included in a list ao fur
nished him by the clerk of aaid board.
It was plain, therefore, that the treas
urer exceeded his authority in paying
such warranta, of which he had received
no official Hat.
No one ever charged the treaaurer
with anything like official obliquity,
and it seems bard that a judgment
ahould be rendered againet hia sureties
when no prosecution haa ever been had
against the sureties of the delinquent
auditor, who knew well enough that the
parties in whose behalf these warranta
were drawn had no valid claims against
the county for any such Bums.
That Mr. Lankershim, the defendant
in this caee, has a clear cause of action
against the bondsmen of Mr. Montofio,
by whom or by whoso deputy
Buch warranta were drawn, is very
clear and plain to any one who takes
the trouble to examine the facts in the
case. At the same time, it ia a hard
ship on any man who signs a bond
conditioned for the faithful conduct of
the principal in the bond. Wo only
cite this case to show what people have
to expect so long as Loa Angeles county
ia governed by the Union League; and
in the name of a tax-ridden people we
feel constrained to aak, "How long, oh
Lord, how long?"
A TIMELY SUGGESTION.
Twenty years ago the judges could
1 perform all the judicial work of Los An
geles county and then have time to go
down to the seaside and catch barracu
das. Now there are aix judges of the
superior court, and they have little or
no leisure to. devote to either rest or
amusement. Now comes the time when
judicial assistance is needed, as the 9th
day of August next ia the last day on
which the courts ou auuiit people of
foreign birth to the rights of citizenship.
We would, therefore, suggest that the
superior court should be in session each
. night in the week, except Sunday, from
now until the 9th of next month. Two
judges each night would probably be
enough to transact all necessary busi
ness in this respect, which would give
each judge two nights' work from 7 to 9
o'clock in each week. On the night of
the Bth it might be well enough to have
four judges on hand. The reason why
a stated hour should be Bet apart for this
busineaa is that most of our foreign-born
population are workingmen and could
not attend court in daytime even if they
ao desired. We trust tbe judges will
give this matter their timely attention,
as the political sentiment of those in
tending to become citizens is about
evenly divided.
IS DANCING A DAMNATION?
Mother o' Moses! How can yon beat her?
Ain't she "a corker," this C'armencita?
Aud this Is the secret of her renown:
Her leg goes up and the home comes down.
The city of Atlanta, in the state of
Georgia, nan been terribly scandalized
during the paßt fortnight, by the pres
ence of what California dialect calls a
"leg show," the chief offender in that
respect being the marvelous high-kicker,
Carmencita. Of course this is the sea
son of polical conventions and the voice
of the "kicker" is heard in the land.
At the same time, the city from which
Sherman started on Mb march thro'
Georgia (and there were many who
wished he had gone around on tbe out
aide) is very much scandalized by the
muscular gyrations of this dark-eyed
Spanish beauty who kicks her slippers
into the gallery and wears her dresses
short at both ends.
The applause of the good people of
Atlanta was both liberal and sponta
neous. People who have been conver
sant with the wheat market in Califor
nia, during the past thirty-five years,
have invariably noticed that as the
price of wheat increased, there was a
decrease of rates of freight to the United
Kingdom. There was a leverage similar
to this noticeable about Carmencita'a
stage triumphs in the metropolis of
Northern Georgia, for invariably when
ever her leg flew up, the house "came
down."
One of the Atlanta religious papers
says that "the discipline and rules of all
Protestant churches are plainly and em
phatically against such lust-breeding
diversion." If a woman's dancing for
three minutes or bo, in abbreviated
skirts, can be called "a lust-breeding
diversion," what would the pious At
lanta editor say if he could go down to
Long Beach, Redondo or Santa Monica,
of a Sunday afternoon, when from
twenty to fifty well-bred young ladies of
presumably good families, can be seen
wading cut into tbe eurf with Ekirta
LOS ANGELES HERALD.- WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 27, 1892.
quite as short as Carmencita's, showing
equally muscular and well-shaped lege ?
Nobody here sees anything wrong or un
usual about it. If only one woman
dressed that way, it would be something
unusual and worthy of severe comment.
Some people ate more nice than wise.
Some people's tender aensibilitiea are
even shocked by tbe mention of the
word "leg." We recall a case in Oregon
where a near-sighted clergyman waa
reading out of the Bible that "Moaes
made atonement for the sins of his peo
ple." It waß on a dark and fogey win
ter afternoon, and the church was
poorly lighted. When the parson came
to this particular passage he read it to
the effect that "Mosea made ointment
for the shins of the people," whereupon
all the old maida and several of the
married ladies got up and left the
church. This was mock modesty.
In conclusion, we will aay that we
have no personal acquaintance with
either party to thia controveray. We
do not know the peppery parson nor the
salacious saltatorian; and, like the
Arkansas woman whose husband fought
the bear, we "don't care which whips."
Miss Carmencita ia not dancing from
any Banitary considerationa, we believe.
She demands several ponderous shekels
in advance before she goea upon the
Btage; and, having made the elevation
of her underpinnings a life-long atudy,
we are firm in the belief that her leg
will go up as long aa the house "cornea
down." _________
"Taking one consideration with an
other," the lot of the protected manu
facturer ia "not a happy one." Here ia
what Mr. Carnegie had to say about
labor Btrikes in 1886. We quote his
own words, which he cannot deny:
Peaceful settlement of differences
should be reached through arbitration.
I would lay it down as a maxim that
there is no excuse for a strike or a lock
out until arbitration of differences haa
been offered by one party and refused
by the other.
Perhapa, up to that time, Mr. Carne
gie had not had any difficulty with hia
employeea; and these suggestions,
which he gives out as oracular and
"lays down as maxima," were probably
intended for the government of other
establishments than his own. It ia
such an easy matter to repair other
people's fences. At all events there ia
a most decided actagoniam between
what he has written and what his per
forated manager, Mr. Frick, has done.
There is but one thing to be said iv Mr.
Carnegie's favor, which is that "to err
ia human," and it i 3 not alwaya so easy
to "practice what you preach."
Oakland ia the cradle of originality
in the line oi marriage and divorce pro
ceedings. The latest novelty ia in the
latter line, and waa nothing more nor less
than a contract of divorce between a
man named Nickela and hia wife, whose
oldest children are about 16 years of age.
The wife receiveß $10,000 in cash, in con
sideration of which she foregoes all fur
ther claim upon the property jointly
owned by herself and husband. The
latter agrees to educate and support the
children and to allow them to visit their
mother when they co desire. Now,
while it is a bad thing for man and wife
to become estranged, ia not this method
preferable to going into court to air
soiled family linen? There ia lees ex
pense about it and less public disgrace.
Unless the parties wish to marry again
tfaiH system of divorce is a long way the
cheapeat and the best.
Under the workings of a highly pro
tective tariff the profits on all local in
dustries have been divided, not with the
laborers who made the goods but with
the congressmen who made Euch legis
lation a possibility. Everybody knows
that for the pact thirty years it has been
impossible for anybody bat a bachelor,
who makea one meal off mackerel and
the next three off ice-water, to live in
Washington on $5000 a year. But some
of them do live there and the above
named salary iB all the legitimate in
come they have. The tariff pays the
difference. Let the people vote in
November next ao that these tariff pies
can ho made to stay at home and go to
woik.
This is the way they regard tbe tariff
in Scotland. Andrew Carnegie, who
claims to be a descendant of John Dal
rymple, Lord Stair, made himself quite
friendly with a gentleman whom he met
on a steamer going down Loch Awe.
The gentleman waa a trifle forgetful and
said: "Your face is very familiar, but
I cannot remember, for the life of me,
where we first met." "In Pittsburg, in
America," replied Mr. Carnegie. "Aye,
true enough," Baid the traveler, "you
used to make iron—and ateel for a
living!" _____________
'Orrible revelations, you know, these
things about the duke of Beaufort. It
ia said that the queen considers he haa
disgraced himself and will decline to
receive him hereafter. The difference
between him and the prince of Walea ia
that he acknowledges hia illegitimate
children and "Tummy" does not.
AMUSEMENTS.
The Grand Opera house was packed
last night to greet Haverly's Mastodon
minstrels, and there was naturally a
good deal of curiosity among old theater
goers to note whether the veteran di
rector of minstrelsy, so many years re
tired, had lost his cunning in putting
together a company that met all the
requirements iv the wav of entertain
ment and fun making. They found that
he was still a minstrel king. Certainly
the company is made up of some of the
best talent in black face now on tbe
boards, and the fact that the old min
strel songs of Stephen C. Foster and
other writers of the olden days were
sung—tbe fact that the company haH
skipped over all modern innovations and
gone back to the days of good, old-fash
ioned minstrelsy,—-was one that caught

LETTER BAG.
Who Can Be Candidates.
Editors Herald : The statement of
Wm. Crawford, Esq., in a recent iaaue
of the Herald, in regard to the effect of
the new so-called Australian ballot law
upon the candidacy of Mr. Cannon and
others, contains aome errora, the reault
of haste, I preaume, which Mr, Craw
ford will on revision, no doubt, cheer
fully correct.
He saya that "Dougherty's frienda
lacked 193 votea of enough to nominate
him in a conventionf" under the law.
But assuming that Mr. Crawford is cor
rect in his statement that the total vote
cast a*, tbe last election in the old Sixth
congress district is the teat, bis error ia
apparent. That total vote waa, as he
states, 66,470. Now 3 per cent on
that total ia 1994. Dougherty in
1890 received 3130 votes, or 1186 in
exceaa of the 3 per cent. But the total
vote upon which the 3 per cent, or the 5
per cent, ia to be counted is not that of
the old Sixth diatrict, but of the vote
cast in the counties comprising the new
Sixth dietrict. This is readily seen by
the proviao of section 1186 of the law.
Now in the counties of the new Sixth
district the total vote' for congressman
was 37,419. Oa this vote, 3 per cent
would be 1122. Tbe Prohibition vote
in the six counties waa 1809, Dougherty
himself receiving in five of them 1635,
showing an excess on the 8 per cent
of 687.
But, aa a matter oi fact, the vote for
governor is the true total on which per
cents are to be counted, according to the
opinion of Attorney-General Hart. This"
being the case, Bidwell'a vote of 2104 in
the new district givea tbe Prohibition
ists an excess over the 3 per cent of 988.
In fact, every county in the diatrict ex
cept Monterey had the required per
cent.
These votea are taken from the Cali
fornia Blue Book and are official. And
it will be aeen that Mr. Cannon's friends
need only obtain 1861 signatures to
their nominating petition, that number
making tho required 5 per cent. It ia a
curious fact that the total vote for gov
ernor in 1890 was 196 less than the total
vote for congressman in the new dis
trict. A Prohibitionist.

Littlo Interviews Which Were Noted
Yesterday.
M. C. Carter —I've just got back from
the east, and of all the infernal weather
I ever experienced the worst ia what I
have jufet gone through, I've come
back for some more specimens of fruit,
and expect to cause a stampede out this

Frank Finlayaon—l am not in favor of
fusion, even if it could teadily be brought
about. A straight congressional Demo
cratic ticket with a Los Angeles man on
it will be very liable to win.
Judge Brunson—lt is strange how the
sufferings of a horse will affect a person.
I saw a runaway horse on Grand avenue
yesterday, which had broken its
hock all to pieces. It whinnied
in a most pitiful manner, and depressed
me so that it makes me feel uncomfort
able even now. It ia seldom that the
sufferings of a human being have affected
roe as much.
Politics? I'm out of politics, but I
would advise the Democrats to try
fusion.
Sutherland Hutton—All I know ia oil.
There is more Southern California oil

per Month Without Interest.
NOT A LAND DISTRIBUTION, BUT AN INVESTMENT OF MONEY!
Each Share will Earn Five Per Cent Per Month on Each $100 for Five Years
From the Date of the First Subscription, and Has
the Best Real Estate Security.

Sixteen Hundred and thirty shares at fIOO each will buy the Fowler Ranch of 6StO acres, with thl
present improvements and the prospective improvements to be made by the present owners at a cost to
them oftSO.OOO. This splendid property is situated on the border line of Tulare and Aern MKHIIfS,
four miles west of the Valley Road of ihe Southern Pacific railroad, and four miles north of MS
branch line to the oil wells, and twelve miles west of the present li'tSj to San Francisco. A survey of
the Santa Fe line has been made through the western portion of this tract.
PROSPECTUS:
We are soliciting subscriptions for shares in an incorporation to be organised for the purpose
of buying from the present owners 1 ihe Fowler ranch, containing 6520 acres, situate on the bor
der line of Tulare and Kern counties, for $25 per at re, with its present improvements and with
$30 000 of Improvements to be made by the owners and included In the price of $25 per acre,
as 6tated. This la not a land distribution, but an investment of money, with return ol money
and profits, by dividing the tract iDto 40-acre subdivisions, and after the improvements are
made, selling at a future period at tIOO or more per acre. There will be 1630 shares in the co—jor
atlon.at $100 each, to be paid for In $5 monthly Installments without interest. On the sixth y.a"
ment the subset tiers will incorporate, will elect their officers, aud the trustee they m .y appoint
will receive a deed for the 6520 acres, in escrow, clear of all incumbrances, with the certificate ci
title attached of the Abstract and Title Insurance Company of Los Angeles, to be delivered to the
corporation when the purchase money is paid. 'Ihe $30,000 proposed Improvements guaran
teed by a deposit in bank of that amount, to be paid out to the contractors on certified vouchers,
as they progress with the work.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY.
The laud Is a rich black loam, and Is known as the Fowler ranch. It was purchased many
years ago by the late Senator Tom Fowler of Tulare, when he had the opportunity of obtaining
tbe cream of Tulare and Kern counties. It is in the centor of the artesian, fruit and alfalfa belt;
has upon it now a sample artesian well flowing 800,000 gallons, and Is In the immediate vi
cinity of the largest flowing wells in the state.
The Prjesent Price, and What the Investment Will Pay.
The low rate of the purchase, $25 per acre, with all the present and the projected improve
ments herein recited, m* de and paid lor by the present owners, at a cost of $30,000, enables n»
to guarantee at the lowest rate of sale in the future, say $100 per acre within five years, an In
terest of 5 per cent a month on each share of $100 from the date of subscription.
This tract has one section already fenced, a colony house, the prpsent flowing well, large res
ervoir, eto. The Improvements to be made by the present owners will consist of an irrigating
canal of twelve miles, six more artesian wells as feeders, survey and division into 40-acre tracts,
survey and laying out of tho town of Colonna, broad avenues through the entlro property
planted with trees, etc.
How the 5 Per Cent Per Month on Each $100 Is to Be Earned for the 5 Years.
Many well-known citizens thoroughly versed in the capabilities of lands in Southern Califor
nia double tho estimate that we hore set forth ot $100 per acre within Aye years, and assert that
at the end of that lime this splendid body of land. Improved as proposed, with water conveyed
to each tract, will ommand readily and quickly $200 per acre. But we place it at tho low llg
uro named, $100 per aore, and any larger amount that it may be sold for will increase the per
centage which we claim it will earn at our figures.
6520 acres at $25 per acre, with the Improvements included $163,000 00
Interest at 5 per cent per month from commencement of subscription to
the end of the 5 years on 1630 shares 489,000 00
$652,000 00
Saleß of 6300 acres at $100 per aore $030,000 60
Sales of 880 town lots of % acre each • • - • 44,000 00
$674,000 00
