News conies from Riverside that the
Good Hope mine has been sold to expe
rienced mining men of Colorado and
Massachusetts, who will greatly improve
the property and develop it to its fullest
capacity. Ttie price paid was half a
million dollars, which is dirt cheap, the
Good Hope being one of the rtcheßt
mines in Southern California. By the
way, has any one heard of a mining
boom setting in hereabouts?
The death of Uapt. J. 0. Ainsworth,

and fostered enterprises which have
been the means ol creating business and
employment for thousands, and thus
was a public benelactor. The bustling

We fail to see anything encouraging in
this brief summary of the financial
status in New York, with the single ex
ception that this enormous money sur
plus cannot remain idle forever. Hav

soon begin to make up for lost time.
THE NEW YEAR'S HERALD.
*Jn New Year's day the Herald will
get out a notably fine edition, with a
view to its availability for circulation
at tbe Midwinter Fair. It will be the
largest daily paper ever issued in
Southern California, and, with two ex
ceptions, the largest ever issued west of
the Rocky mountains. It will be pro
fusely illustrated, and will be full of in
teresting and reliable statistics. It will
also be the largest edition of any daily
paper ever issued in the etate outside of
San Francisco. Its desirability as an
advertising medium can therefore be
appreciated. Tens of thousands of this
publication will be circulated at the
Midwinter Fair, many of our public
epirited citizens having subscribed lib
erally towards that end. The advan
tages to the advertiser and to those
having real estate to sell of a place in
tbe columns of the New Year's Herald
can be appreciated at a glance. Wa
have still some apace at the service of
our advertisers, but it should be applied
for at once.
A PAUSE IN A DOWNWARD CARRER.
The people of the United States must
positively pause in their wild quest for
money and take measures to reconstruct
I the morale of tbe country. It does not
; follow either in tbe case of an individual
or a nation that a lapse into crime ie
; final and irremediable. That would be
to rob history of its most brilliant ex
emplars, from King David down to
Henry V., and later. But we have
, reached a stage in tbe career of this
country in which we must down brakes
; and reverse engines.
It is positively frightful tbe rapid
pace at which the United States is
illustrating the old adage, Facilil est
descensus Averni. With every great rail
way in tbe United States in the bands
of receivers, with two exceptions, the
rate at which extravagance has run
riot may be easily gauged. The receiv
\ ers themselves are, in many cases, turn
ing out to be consummate scoundrels
and are converting their role from that
jof receivers into that of wreckers.
Other nations for a time have lost their
sense of right, but it is the marvelous
celerity of the descent that shocks 119.
for about a century England was per
haps the most God forsaken country
that ever existed from the standpoint of
high morality. The profligate tribe wbo
surrounded the Stuarts after the restor
ation were probably never surpassed on
earth for dowuright villainy. They
would sell out anything, from their
country to a woman's honor or their
God. Admirably personified in Marl
borough, they led up to the ever mem
orable regime of Sir Robert Walpale, the
author of the famous and unprincipled
epigram, "Every man has his price."
Even later, with a Castlereagh as prime
minister of England, and with George the
IV, as regent and heir apparent, there
was scarcely much amendment up to the
beginning of the present century and
for more than a decade after it had
opened. But the Euglieb people deter
mined that there must be an amend
ment in public morals, and from having
been the most indifferent nation in Eu
rope as to the deportment of her public
men that country is now holding up her
statesmen and rulers to the most exact
ing standard of morality.
We by no means wish to be under
stood as claiming that the United Stateß
enjoys a monopoly of public immorality
and of the violation of fiduciary trusts.
We are perfectly aware that the great
English railway promoter, Sir Morton
Teto, cut his throat to escape the
clamor arising from his shady transac
tions. We have by no means forgotten
I'ereire, either, and the Panama canal
enormities are of too recent occasion to
have escaped anyone's memory. George
Law and his South Sea bubble also
have not passed out of our recollection.
The thing that frightens us in the
United States is the universality of tbe
corruption and the rapidity with which
the old-time integrity of the people has
succumbed to the insane desire to be
come suddenly enriched. lago's advice,
"Put money in thy purse," is the only
monition that seems to enter the soul of
multitudes of Americans. The old New
Englnnder's injunction to his young
hopeful, "(Jet money, young man—get
it honestly if you can, but get money —
is about the only paternal counsel
that has any ctiance of being regarded.
The average American soul is prosti
tuted and vulgarized by the wild raven
ing after wealth. The immense mas 9 of
the American people seem to be imbued
with the idea that sordid gain ie
the only thing at which a "smart"
man ought to aim. Art, science, the
belleß-lettres, the young man's dream
of glory and the maiden's vision of love,
are all subordinated to filthy lucre, and
a language ol brutal frankness has
sprung up as an accompaniment of this
wild luat for gold. The tendency is a
fatal one and must be checked.
And why not. There has surely
never been a better time than now to
take stock of our public morality, aud
to set. high standards ior those entrusted
with the affairs of their fellows. In the
Chicago exposition the people of the
United Slates showed that they could
reach superlatively high ideals, and that
there are various lines of merit and
effort in this country that could he
rightly made the l<a»is of the only no
bility that will long outlast the present
eentnry. The distinctions based oil
feudalism have had their day,. It would
Oe a t.-reat mistake on the part of the
grand republic to repines ihem by a
monocracy. A countty which is at lib
erty to thooee the noblest exemplars and
LOS ANGELES HERALD, SUNDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 31, 181%,
incitations would make a pitiful mistake
if it were to select the most ignoble.
As for the betrayers of public and
fiduciary trusts a stern public sentiment
must be created as respects this class.
Punishment mast be made to wait upon
delinquency. Tbe penitentiary should
not be reserved for comparatively venial
offenders. The man who does wrong
should know that no "pnll" or station
will cave him, and that gnilt iean inex
orable leveler. This is of all years that
for this new and salutary departure.
The "Knurl old man" Is now in his
eighty-fifth year, and he mast certainly
have been highly gratified by the im
mense mass of congratulations he re
ceived. Mr. Balfour showed himself to
be the possessor of great tact by the
manner in which he acted in the house of
commons. It is a rare thing indeed for a
prime minister to receive plaudits from
the opposition. Gladstone has lived so
long that he has fairly conquered per
sonal animosity. Ten years ago the
Tory sentiment towards tbe great liberal
wae one of undisguised hatred. Tbe
followers of Disraeli and the mem
bers of the Primrose league could
scarcely keep within decent bounds
when his name was mentioned
in tbeir presence. Gladstone and Pope
Leo are tbe same age, and they both re
tain their great intellects unimpaired.
In physical vigor, however, the great
Kngiishman far surpasses tbe pope.
Bismarck has suffered much, of late,
and shows signs of breaking np, al
though only in his seventy-eighth year.
Yon Moltke held on to hie arduous
post with undiminished intellectual
acumen till his ninety-second year,
while the old Emperor William even
exceeded hie great marshal in virile
longevity, while old Field Marshal Yon
Wrangel worried it out till upwards of a
hundred. We do not seem to grow this
kind of public man in the United States.
Outside of Hannibal Hamlin, Simon
Cameron, and a very few others, Amer
ican statesmen appear to surrender the
duties of public life at a comparatively
early age. At seventy in this country a
man is looked upon as an old fogy, and
no party would dare to nominate such a
man for the presidency. Thiers accom
plished the most brilliant things in his
career after be was seventy-three.
A dispatch from Albuquerque, pnb-
lished elsewhere, says that Samuel
Gotbe, the superintendent of the Kings
ton mine, has sold to Denver parties the
Jim Crow and Monitor mines for $460,
--000. These properties are located near
Uelene, in the Ferguson mining dis
trict, in Nevada. They are near the
projected extension of tho Nevada South
ern, and will soon be great treasure pro
ducers.
The latest on Grasham is that he has
lost levor with the president, and that
Grover hae taken him out duck shooting
to tell him so, and give him a broad
hint that his room ia preferable to hie
company in the cabinet. Thia may be a
canard, and, as it appears in the Chron
icle, it probably is, but there would be
rejoicing in Democratic circles if it
should turn out to be true.
Mrs. Evans is evidently a lady of
varied accomplishments. She managed
to be on hand in time to be of service to
Chris in making his escape and then
went into a bwoou that lasted for four
mortal hours. This ii one of the long
est fainting spells, on record, and shows
what a weak woman can do when she is
worked up to the proper pitch of inter
est in pasting events.
! The testimony in the hospital investi
gation case has now veered round in
i favor of Dr. Hagan, and public opinion
has a chance oi flopping over in favor
lof that gentleman. These varying
currents of evidence are to he expected
lin inquiries of thia character. A build
ing full of Bick people is quite apt to
! furnish some jaundiced testimony.
The Historical Society.
The regular monthly meeting of tbe
Historical Society of Southern Califor
nia, which tails upon the first Monday
evening of each month, has been post
poned to the second Monday of January
{January Bth), the firßt Monday being a
legal holiday.
The subject for dißcussioD will be the
Chinese massacre which occurred in this
city October 24, 1871. Several of the
\ older members have prepared short
paperß on that topic, and an effort will
;he made to get at the actual historical
factß of that tragedy.
The Bociety will issue about the 10th
of next month its annual publication of
historical paperß. This will be a volume
of about 100 pages, and will contain val
uable historical matter pertain,ng to
Southern California.

Walla Walla, Wash., Dec. 30.—A
warrant was today issued for the arrest
of J. K. Edmieton, on the charge of em
bezzling f30,000 from tbe defunct Walla
Walia Savings bank. Edmiston was
president of the bank and also of the
Security bank of Seattle, which sus
pended the same day. A state
ment of the receivers shows that
Edmißton's personal overdraft was
$30,501, and that the Security bank
owed the suspended bank $33,
--890. Edmiston was arrested a week ago
today at Seattle, on the charge of receiv
ing deposits for the Walla Wnlla bank
when be knew it was insolvent. Upon
being brought back here he gave the
$20,000 bond required, and departed last
Tuesday morning, saying he was going
back to Seattle; since it bae been learned
that he has not been seen in that place.

San Dikgo, Dec. 30. —John Davidson,
a sailor on tbe British ship John Cooke,
threw himself in front of tho wheels of
a big; sprinkling wagon tonight, but was
culled away. He then dashed himself
backward on tbe stone pavement,
dislocating his shoulder and try
ing to knock his brains out. He
wns removed to tbe marine hospital
where his wounds were dreeeed. The
police officer then took him down to the
ship. On the Santa Fe wharf, within a
rod of the ship Davidson broke away
from the officer, leaped overboard in 30
feet of water and was drowned. An
effort to find the body by bis mates of
tbe ship was fruitless. Suicide waa
sober, but unstrung from a debauch
begun Christmas. He leaves a family

J Real Bargains in silver Sugar Bowis.
The Chance oi the Year to Secure
Handsome Ornaments for Leas
Than Regular Prices.
During the last few days, we hsvo used this
space to tell ot the bargains we wo:e going to
offer on Saturday, In trie shipe ot sugar-bowls.
Now, Saturday is here, and tbls is our last op
portunity to impress one tact upon your minds
Thai fact Is, that tbis is really a genuine bar
gain sale, that it lasts but oue day, and that,
under no circumstances, will it be renewed, j
It Is simply an unusual opportunity lor you to
make some money Dy saving some.
We do not claim that these sugar-bowls arc 1
i the handsomest on earth. Tliey'ro not. There I
are others just a* good, but noiH better
They're made by Gorham, Reed & ttarton, Mid
dletown, anil other celebrated makers, and j
were s.e ecti d lor their be inty of dctit; 1 by an
expert in silverware, to go into our stoi k. Now,
w>> find we have too many sugar-bowls,
and some of them must go. Tbey must
make room for other varieties of stock. There
lis be; one way to make tlu-m go <|tilekly. That
is by lowering th j price to bottom figures, and
that's wfieieyou reap the benefit. VVe do not
oiler them below cost. That would be folly;
but we will sell them for exactly what theycost
us. As there is usually a larae amount of profit
on silverware, you will be turprisoJ to see bow
cheap you c n buy them.
Jut as an added inducement,we will engrave
a monogram or inl'ial on every pen r.old.
And remember, we vUAr.utee everything we
s.y about au artlo cto by true. Now write tlie
address down, and remember it. Hetcitis: M

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live hot
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
les3 expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world's best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Ita excellence is due to its presenting
in tho form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect Inx
ative; effectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
ana permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for salo by all drug
gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co.only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,

accept any substitute if offered.
