A PARAGRAPH in the Express of

A PARAGRAPH. in the Express of
last evening leads US to note the
oxtreme moderation with which
the Los Angeles papers give the
details Of criminal trials which
transpire here. The fact is that we
know of no example of the reserve
maintained by them. Los Angeles
IL an exceptionally quiet town.
Very rarely does anything sensa-
tlonal or exciting occur here; but,
when it does, our local newspapers,
out of Difference to people whom
they meet every day "a thing
which would not happen in a large
city, make the barest and most
skeleton mention Of matters. An
Incident of which the Chronicle
would make>a column took place
h,ra .yastsfday. The HERALD will
much as make a mention Of
Glthough it knows all the de-
ykils. At the same time this scene
admits of a highly amusing and
clap-trap treatment. As soon as
any of our citizens become engaged
In anything like an episode or q
scandal, steady stream of 'people
dow into the newspaper offices;
and, generally, nothing is said
about It. Now the fact is that the
man who forgets his temper or the
Injunction of confluence recon-
meDded by st. Paul, with public
accompaniment of the moral
lapse, is public property. All oui
papers have exercised iare pru.
dence and generosity in handling
public occurrences, and in no in
stance has this been more apparent
than in the press notes of the
Waller-Parker cases and of the pc
culiar administration of his office
by the late District Attorney of this
county.

THE citizens of Nevada, without
distinction of party, a few weeks
ago sent q congratulatory telegram
to Senator John p. Jones thanking
him for his efforts in behalf of the
Silver bill. That gentleman is un-
doubtedly entitled to the gratitude
of the whole Pacific Coast. He has
stood forth as the champion of that
one of the precious metals which,
for thousands of years, has been
the measure of the transactions of
daily life and of which this Coast
is now the largest producer. The
Eastern press have acquitted them
selves of unnum bered sneers at
Senator Jones because he is the
owner of silver mine. 1t is quite
true that he is interested in silver
productions; but, of all the men so
interested, he is the only one who
could have made the exhaustive
and eloquent presentation of the
subject in the Senate which was
finally crowned with success. His
advocacy of the measure would
have been just as earnest and unre-
hitting if he had never owned
foot of q silver mine. 1t is q good
thing to know that, while Penn--
sylvania and Massachusetts have
had always, and have now, elo-
quent advocates of their special in
terests i'm both branches of Con-
gress, the Pacific Coast has atlast,
in this Nevada Senator, an indefat-
igable, persevering and trenchant

frame bill to abolish the great civil office
Of the Secretary of War as IL has existed
since the adoption Of the Constitution, and
place its duties and trusts in the hands Of
the military power, is.a question not easily
answered. But practically this committee
has done this thing, and it comes before us
in bill of 300 pages, q bill that If properly
considered, will occupy the attention of both
Houses Of Congress for the remainder Of the
session and then be not finished. Who is
responsible for this monstrous attempt at
legislation we know not, for we cannot believe
that the members whose signatures are af-
fixed to the accompanying report will care
to assume its paternity. 1t looks very much
as If 1t had been prepared by some one or
more designing persons, and foisted upon
the committee by some one in whom conf
dence was placed. Let our readers procure

carefully perusc it. But whoever is respon-
sible for it will probably be ashamed of his
connection with II If II ever comes up for

SENATOR BLAINE denounced the viola
tions of the Constitution of the United
States in South Carolina, and deprecates the
setting at defiance of the laws by the bull
dozers of WADE HAMProN's dominion, and
was answered by threat. Senator LAMAR,
of SUMNER eulogy notoriety, notified the
Senator from Maine, in substance, that If the
provisions of the Constitution aud laws are
to be rigidly enforced with reference to the
lately rebellious States the constitutional
rights of always loyal States will be placed
in jeopardy. If the right TO seats in the
Congress of the United States of those who
claim to be representatives from the South,
though they wade through blood and tram
pie on the lileless bodies OF American citi-
zens, is to be questioned then the New
England States, according TO Mr. LAMAR's
threat are In danger Of losing the repIesen-
tation in the Senate guaranteed to them by
the Constitution. This is not gush; !" it is
worse--bosh.

A QUESTION OF INTEREST.

Senator CoNELING's quictude and ret
icence since the meeting Of Congress has
again become q matter Of great concern
with the Democrats and such Republicans
as are not counted among his especial
friends. II is great pity that
New York's favorite statesman can
not please everybody in the shap-
ing of his official and political course but
experience seems to establish the fact that
he fails in that important feature of his
public life, aud If he succeeds in pleasing
himself he is very fortunate. 1t has been
made matter Of widespread remark and
not q little criticism that Senator CoNK-
LING did not suspend the business of his
desk during Senator BLAINE's speech on
Wednesday and devote his entire attention to
that effort in accordance with the conduct
Of his surrounding peers. II he was not
absorbed in the remarks to such an extent
as TO command his full attention II should
not have been charged to a purpose of dis
respect unless 1t was clearly so intended,
which we have no idea was the case. Sem
ator CoNKLING represents the interests of
great State, and they are so wide and i'm
perative in their demands upon his time
and efforts, aud he is so dutiful and diligent
and such au economist of time, that he
no doubt attempted TO do what but few states
men can ccomplish-take in the able speech
of Senator BLAINE and give care to other
matters at the same time without any in
territorial discourtesy toward or neglect of
either
Another thing is just now source of
anxiety and disGuietude-the Senator
doesn't tell anybody just what he proposes
TO 40 about the pending Federal appoint
ments in his State, and especially rs TO those
relating 10 the New York city custom-housc.
lie does not appear to be over Jealous and
hasty in the confirmation of the nomina-
tions that have been sent into the Senate to
fill the places made vacant by the removal
of Messrs. ARTHUR and CORNELL, and
which have been referred to his committee.
1t is said that the Senator will again call
upon the Secretary Of the Treasury for the
reasons why these iucumbcnts were removed,
and that no decisive action will be taken
by his committee until that information is
furnished. So far rs these cases are con-
Cerncd, Senator CONKLING has not publicly
declared his own intentions" and that is o
source OF apparent grief with the gossips,
who find little occasion for sensible specula-
ton rs to his movements. The only distinct
point that has as yet dawned upon the
Bohemian mind is that if Mcssrs. MERRITT
and GRAuAM's nominations are confirmed
it will be through his influence and, on the
other hand, should they be defeated, his in
luence will lead to that end This seems
to be well-understood point and, further,
that whichever course he may select for his
own action success will be reached at the
eud of the controversy. On these questions,
whether wisely or not, the course of Senator
CONKLING will be shaped by his individual
judgment, for since the late election the
Republican party has no war TO make upon
its own friends in any direction.

IT would seem that the law relating to
pensions, especially to some cases that oc-
Cured during the war of 1912, should be so
amended and interpreted us to provide for
broader measure of justice TO those enti-
tied really to pensions, but who are ex-
cluded by mere technicality. Take, for
instance, case like this: A soldier served
twenty-one days, from February A. 1915, to
March g. 1915. Fourteen days of this SER
vice was not rendered previous to February
II, 1915, the date of the ratification of the
treaty of peace, and hence the twenty-one
days are not allowed and the party is de-
MED pension. This would seem to he a
petty wrong that should be provided for by
legislation. The soldier served his Govern
ment for the full term required by law 10
grant him pension aud yet he is techni-
cally denied what seems TO be clearly his
right. We understand that Mr.. WILSON
of West Virginia, will introduce resolu-
tiOn into the House to-day covering and
providing for all such cases. and it should
pass without the slightest opposition as an
act Of simple justice to the few to which II
applies.

itself by robbing the Republican North of

THE Mississippi leyee fever is breaking
out in Washington again this winter with
the same old show of virulence. It should
have but a short run, for, of all humbugs
and frauds upon the National Treasury, the
Mississippi levee business may be regarded
MS among the first of that class. Levees
may be built for thousand years, and that
only raises the bottom ard surface of the
river above the surrounding country and
increases the danger of foods and damage,
except as they are guarded against by a
continued raising of the levees. 1t would
seem that more free outlet TO the sea of
the waters of the Mississippi and some Of
its tributaries, where that is feasible, would
promise more certain aud permanent relief.
This levee business is a great job of indi-
vidual benefit.

in response TO our allusiOn made TO him in
our reference to the Stdr- Recorder CmcuiC

bids full publication. He admits the cor
rectness of our opinion of the .StT, but in
ssts that he is not called upon TO cowhide
anybody because they charge him with fur
nishing the brain for it, and we think he is
right His reasons for not using the cow
hide are multilarious and conclusive, and
we desire to withdraw that suggestion, inas-
much rs Mr.. W. writes us that he is rather
battered than otherwise by the RccOrdCr's
"intimation." That is all right, then, and
there should have been no cowhiding, and
We were clearly in the wrong in making the
suggestion, for hattery is much more agree
able revenge than the application of the
cOwnde, and we think Mr.. W. has made
the wiser choice in the way of redress "for
even" We see and appreciate the point
of Mr.. WIS position and argument, and only
regret that our crowded space forbids that

ADMINISTRATIONS" UNION.

Mr.. FAUNTELROY, Of the Virginia Legis-
lature, has been represented as making a
speech in that body re,cntly in which he
declared the Federal Government to be "a
" lorce-cOnslructed bayonct-pnned, ac-
cursed Union" A Republican in Virginia
writes us that these words were uttered in
the heat of debate, and that the Speaker
Immediately revised and changed the term
"accursed by adopting mcretricious in
its stead. How much that improves the
sentence and makes IL more truthful and
acceptable we are unable to clearly perceive.
1t is not very respectful to call this " force
constructed, bayonet- pinned, mcretricious
Union" 1t does not represent concilia-
tiOn or paCi6CatiOn in remarkable degree.
II comes as near rebel yell as anything
lately uttered in q digniiied, deliberate,
legislative body is has been heard since
ls65, and sounds very harshly in these days
of reconciliation. Tho sentence, ms amend

law-abiding, aud Governmcnt-rcspectin

saved this Union from the destroying hard
of rebellion cannot easily get used to such
denunCiatiUns as this Of q Union for which
they rendered their lives and their fortunes

claimed these words were uttered in the
heat of debate, and hence they should not
count. Perhaps not; but usually out OF
