Hon.; Henry Wattobson, in hia ad
dress at the dedicatory exerciaea at Chi
cago, dwelt upon the slight degree of
acrimoKy that haa characterized the
present as compared with preceeding
campaigns. We really do seem to be
improving, and the Columbian epoch
appears to exert a beisign influence iD
every direction —both internally and in
ternationally. Has tbe mild and benefi
cent spirit of Columbua really settled
down upon our restless people?
The chamber of commerce haa pre
pared the draft of two bills. One seeks
to lessen the burden on the taxpayers
of the delinquent tax eaiea. The other
provides that the boards of eupervieore,
and all other bodies whioh are author
ized to expend the money of the county,
shall cauee to be published monthly in
the two city papere having the largest
circulation, an account of all public ex
penditures. Both of these measures are
urgently needed, and they are both in
the interest of the hard-bested tax
payer. Tho chamber proposes to pre
sent these bills to the several candi
dates for the legislature, and to obtain
pledges that they shall be passed at the
next tesßion of the legislature. There
ought to be no difficulty in obtaining
the assent of all these gentlemen to the
: advocacy of laws co fair and necessary.
The San Diego Union a short time ago
• aaid that the Southern Pacific Railroad
.-company, having been unable to secure
tbe influence of Bowers in congress, was
bow using money to defeat his return to
that body. The inference plainly waa
that Welborn was the candidate to be
benefited by the use of money. This
may be a very efßcacioua newepaper
way of booeting Bowers and injuring
the Democratic candidate in tbe seventh
diatrict; but the Banning Herald of
Thursday neatly turns -the tables on th*
Union by showing that Bowerß not only
-travels himself on a free pass on the
Southern Pacific, but franks his family
.besideß. The Herald then aeke:
Is there any specific reason why Bow
■ers should receive favore from the
Southern Pacific company? We think
-there is. The Pacific Mail Steamship
.company has been discriminating
against San Diego, and during the last
eeesion of congress Bowers started in to
make a blooded fight to compel the Pa
cific mail to do justice to San Diego.
Towards the close of the Besßion he
dropped the fight like a quitter, and the
only explanation he ever gave was tbat
he received telegrams from San Diego
asking him to quit. Up to date be has
not produced those telegrams. Now,

major portion of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company, ie preeident of the

The Chronicle is making extraordin
ary efforts to utilize Patrick Egan bb a
proselytizer of votea for the Republican
party. This is breath simply waated.
The idea that our Irish fellow citizens
can be blarneyed out of partizan affilia
tions which have proved their protection
in tbe past—and, indeed, the protection
fit all foreign born citizens—is too ab-
LOS ANGELES HEBALD: SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 23, 1892.
Ari to be serioualy entertained. Pat- i
rick Egan exercised Ma undoubted right i
3f citizenship by becoming a Republican, i
and tbat wae atrietiy hia affair. Every i
Irishman has ttve aame heaven-born
right, and will ■exercise it juat a freely
aa Mr. Egan -exercised hia privilege ot
political aeiection. It ia perfectly safe
to aaaume that Mr. Egan will not in
fluence a ■single vote oataide of his own.
We therefore counsel our eateemeed
contenfporary not to waete ita powder
on dead ducks, or ita fragrance on the
desert air. Patrick Egan ia a law unto
himself. Aa to the abuse Which tbe
Chronicle aaya ie being heaped on that
gentleman by the Democratic journals,
it only exieta in the heated imagination
di that,aheet. There haa been no abuee.
There are some journala, independent
and Democratic, who thought the
United Statea might have been engaged
in a better business than in bullying
Chile, a small aiater republic, and who
did not approve of everything that Mr.
Egan did, but they would have taken
identically the aame attitude if that gen
tleman had been born in Kamschatka
instead of Ireland. And that is all there
ia to the Chronicle's attempt to make
capital out of Mr. Patrick Egan.
ABORTIVE LABORS.
The attempt to bring Mr. Cleveland
into bad odor with the veterans will
assuredly fail. It has been said that
figures don't lie, and it is true thatwhen
they are honestly employed they cannot.
It is a fact that Mr. Cleveland vetoed a
few private pension bills for cause, and
every real soldier of the union would
heartily approve of those vetoes when
made acquainted with the causes which
influenced tbe president in writing
them. The fact is studiously concealed,
however, that, under Mr. Cleveland's
administration, a far more liberal
policy towards the soldiers was
pursued than had characterized any
previous administration. During the
four years during whiph he
occupied the White House the most
rigid economy prevailed in all lines ex
cept toward the Union soldier. Under
Grant the number of pensioners was
226,516. Under Hayes the roster had
risen to 246,596. Under Arthur it was
314,569. But under Cleveland it sprang
at once to 408,115. The amounts appro
priated for the pension list were, under
Grant $29,677,681.12, under Hayes $42,
--123,005.00, and under Arthur $59,423,
--874.21, while under Cleveland the figures
roee to $73,015,301.23. While much has
been said of Mr. Cleveland's ve
toes of special pension bills, it should
not be forgotten by the veterans that
the Democratic president signed more
bills of this character than any president
before or since. The list of these spe
cial bills foots up—Grant 490, in eight
yeara ; Hayes in four yeara, 303; Arthur
iv four years, 736; and Cleveland in
three yeara, 1369. Theee aie facta which
the veteran is perfectly capable of under
standing. There ia no reason why, sim
ply because a man has happened to
serve hia country,he should be put up as a
fool. The Republican zealots insult the
intelligence of the old aoldiers in assum
ing that they will swallow without grim
ace the ridiculouß roorbacka tbat are
being circulated to defame the Demo
cratic candidatea —oppoeition to pen
aiona on the part of Mr. Cleveland,
membership of Knights of the Golden
Circle on the part of Mr. Stephenson,
and so on. The whole thing is too
diaphanous to deceive a ten year old
boy. No man who really fought in de
fence of the union, who risked his life
orepilled hia blood in that sacred cause,
would wish to ace ahyetera and pretend
ers atanding on the aame footing aa him
self. On the contrary, he will recog
nise the patriotism and fearlesa and un
eelfieh devotion to duty which led Mr.
Cleveland to interpose hia veto between
the sham soldier and the treasury. It
is safe to assume tbat Republican effort
to injure the Democratic candidates
with the eoldier is love's labor lost.
THE NEW SMELTING WORKS.
The projected reduction works for Los
Angeles are now a fixed fact. Ground
for the site was broken yesterday, and
the erection of the establishment will be
commenced at once.
In the local columns will be found a
general statement of what the company
expecte to do. Mr. Frederic M. Eud
lich, the general manager of the com
pany, paid us a pleasant visit yesterday,
and we had quite a conversation in re
gard to the accessibility of Los Angeles
to a very extended mineral region. Mr.
Endlich is, like everybody else, aston
ished that this city should have
been so long without reduction
works. It is a fact that for
ten years the rich ores of Oalico
and other districts at our very door,
have been taken by rail to San Francis
co for reduction ; whilst Arizona miners
have sent their ores to Kansas City, and
even as far as Newark, New Jersey, to
be treated. With the advantage of
short and cheaper transportation which
Lob Angeles enjoys, it is certainly as
tonishing that smelters and refiners
have not before this seen their opportu
nity here for the establishment of profit
able works. The Herald has for years
called the attention of capitalists to the
facte of our situation, and been very
constant in showing the folly of carrying
the ores of our vicinity from 500 to 3000
miles away to be reduced.
It remained, however, for the gentle
men who have organized the Southern
California Smelting and Refining com
pany to take the first practical steps to
huild up here a new industry which
cannot but prove remunerative. The
districts that are now furnishing ore,
and which are already connected with
thia city by rail, are numerous and ex
tensive. To theee will soon be added
another extensive strip of mineral terri
tory which is rich in ores that must be
refined. A railroad to Utah—which is
inevitable in the near future—will open
to ub a great number of fine mineral dis
tricts that are now dormant for want of
transportation. Smelting and refining
works at thiß point will necessarily re
eive tbe patronage of theae diatricte,
,nd there ia hardly any limit to the
imount of businesa that will thua be
lirected to a reductien establishment
lere.
We believe that the new company
trill not only be successful but wonder
'ully proaperoua. It calculates upon
■tat ting out with a capacity of reducing
two hundred tona per day; but that
will only include a email portion of the
aree that can be diverted to Loa Angelea
worke at once. The works will be taxed
to meet the demand upon them when
connection shall have been made with
southeastern California and Nevada.
The Cerro Gordo mines alone, in Inyo,
at one time had an output of bullion
that would have given work to a large
establishment to handle. That mine,
and othera in ita neighborhood that will
surely be developed aa soon as transpor
tation has been secured to a Lob Angeleß
refinery, will create an activity here in
reducing ores that will prove of ineati
matable value to our city.
We bail the establiehment of the new
works with great satisfaction, and feel
assured that they will meet with greater
encouragement than their projectors
even dream of at the present time.
The Herald called attention to the
dilatorineaa of District Attorney Mac-
Lachlan in falling to issue a warrant for
the arreßt of Contreras, a youth of six
teen, and accused of committing a fright
ful outrage on a little girl only six yeara
old. Aa uaual, the Expresß ruahed to
the defence of the diatrict attorney, and
denounced the Herald for daring to
question the acta of that official. The
diatrict attorney, eaid the Defender of
tbe Ring Faithful, was waiting for fur
ther information. However, he iaeued
the warrant yesterday, and when it
came to serving it, the youth wae found
to have skipped. With two clear days
in which to cut hia stick, it ia small
wonder that the accused made himself
scarce. Meanwhile, the abused little
girl ia in a precarious condition.
Ajj other of the victims of the explo
sion at the fireworks exhibition on Fri
day night passed away yesterday morn
ing. There will probably be others.
Thie ia the most disastrous of all the
heort-rending casualties that have oc
curred in thia etate in our remembrance.
There ie a fearful responsibility resting
somewhere, but we defer comment until
the coroner's investigation has fully de
veloped where the tremendous blame
justly rests.
The great register will this year con
tain 28,000 names, an advance of 4600 on
laßt year. Nothing could show better
the rapid rate at which the population
of tbia city and county ia increasing.
An increaee of 14 per cent in onf year ia
a very encouraging exhibit, ti is ie in
line with the enormous increase in the
number of ecbool children, and shows
that both in city and county there is a
great progreeaive movement.
A TRAMP'S CRIME.
I
HE TRIES TO ASSAULT MRS. PEAR
SON, OF PASADENA.
She Was Seized on the Street by ad
Unknown Man, Who Tried to
Chloroform Her—Rescued
by Her Brother.
A bold assault was made in Pasadena
laßt evening, between*; and 7 o'clock, by
a tramp, on an estimable married lady,
Mrs. James Pearson. She was wheel
ing a baby carriage, in whicb was her
little child, along South Raymond
avenue, near the opera house, when a
man suddenly jumped out from the
brush along tbe sidewalk and took hold
of her. She was greatly frightened and
screamed. The fellow caught her about
tbe throat and choked her, at the same
time attempting to chloroform her with
a handkerchief saturated with the drug.
The lady ie quite strong, and strug
gled with the miscreant, who waa, how
ever, overpowering ncr, when her
brother, Charley Garlich, came to her
assistance. Hia reeidence ie near by,
and he heard her screams. Rushing
out to Bee what was the matter, he saw
a woman etruggling in the hands of a
man, and when he approached found
that it was his sister.
At hie approach the fellow ran away.
Mr. Garlich pursued him for nearly a
quarter of a mile, but in the dußk the
tramp got away.
Mrs. Pearson described the man as
poorly dressed in a gray suit of clothes.
He waa of medium aize, and wore a
alouch hat. She wae bo excited and
terrified that ehe could not tell minutely
the appearance of her aseailant, the at
attack having made in the dusk of the
the evening, but she ia sure
she could identify him if she saw him
again.
Afterwards the handkerchief with
which the fellow had attempted to
chloroform hie intended victim waß
found near the scene of the encounter,
still redolent with fumes of the drug.
About 9 o'clock a horse belonging to
Joseph Simons, which was hitched in
an alley in the vicinity, waß stolen. and
it is believed that the thief and Mrs.
Pearson's aseailant are one and the
same pereon.
A BLUFF CALLED.
A Man Who Wanted to Bet on Harrison
Weakens.
The Express of Friday afternoon pub
lished a bluff of $1000 to be bet that
Harrison would be elected. A respon
sible person went to the designated
place, and arranged with the money
holder (who Baid he had it for the pur
pose) to call by his place of business
yeeterday morning, and to make a bank
president the etakeholder. The Demo
crat, in order to be ready, drew out of
bank $1000 in gold and kept it in readi
nese all day. The bluffer didn't turn
up. If be ever intended to bet hie
courage, like tbat of Bob Acres all oozed
out of his fingers.

BERING SEA SEIZURES.
The Russian Oflicer Who Made Them
Was Crazy.
Victoria, B. C, Oct. 22.—Captain De,
la Veron, of the Russian cruisur Sca
diakias, who has been making seizures
of sealers, is said to have been pro
nounced insane by the governor of Ber
ing island. He is also said to have been
discharged from the Russian navy.
Many sealing men welcome the informa
tion, as throwing a flood of light upon
the situation. Others are inclined to
be skeptical and say, finding its
position untenable, the Russian govern
ment ignominiously shifted the blame
to the captain's shoulders and pro
nounced him insane, to avoid inter
national difficulty. Upon one point
both parties are agreed ; that the infor
mation from the governor of Bering
island being true, th* government of the
czar cannot avoid making restitution in
full to the sealers.

MEXICAN ADVICES.
No More Mining Concessions—A Black
Frost—A Railroad Strike.
City of Mexico, Oct. 22.—One of the
features of the new financial policy of
Secretary of the Treasury Romero is to
grant no more concessions for operating
mining zonee. Several of these mining
concessions, which were granted by his
predecessors bave recently been de

government that the concessionaires
failed to comply with the stipulations of
tbe articles of the granta.
San Antonio. Tex., Oct. 22.— Adviceß

of increasing tbe present suffering on
account of the shortage of crops.
