Charles Lohmuller, who has been
drifting about California for some
time existing by his "wits," drift.
ed to station on the Mohave kept
by one John Otto and his wife An
ME, who had three children.
Charles fastened himself upon Otto
and paid assiduous attentions to
his wife, without, however, arous.
ing the husbands suspicious.
About the middle Of May Mrs. o ito
went to her husband for money to
make trip to Los Angeles, which
he supplied, and she departed with
the children and, as Mr.. Otto after
ward discovered, all his available
money, amounting to several hun.
dred dollars. AT the same time
Lohmuller disappeared from Havi.
lab, where he was at the time.
Upon following them up Mr.. Otto
found that they had put up at the
Pacific Hotel, In Los Angeles, as
man and wife, and had after ard
left for New Mexico, where they
were last heard from at Deming.
Mr.. Otto has begun proceedings for
a divorce, but Lohmuller has got
the woman, the children and, wi hat
he probably values the most-the
money.-S0n Bern0rdino Times.

Jefferson made the Government
simple and honest by making II
economical. His plan was TO con-
fine its business to the few func-
tions specifically named in the
Constitution and to compel the
faithful execution of these by a
number of servants sufficient for
the purpose, and no more. He did
not turn men out of office because
they were Federalists, but be filed
them with Democrats, or Republic
cans, as they were then called. be.
cause they were true to the Con-
stitution, and were heartily in ear
nest, ss he was, in giving the ex-
pertinent of local self.government
q fair trial.
This was and is true civil SER
vice reform. We have tried the
Federalist plan a long while, un.
der Grant and Hayes and Garfield,
and nobody seems pleased with the
result. Why not make O change,
and try the Jeffersonian plan, as
our fathers did In 1900? 1t worked
satisfactorily then, as long as it
was honestly followed. We com.
mend 1t to the reformers of the
day. Meanwhile, let them stop
railing at Gen. Jackson and the
Democrats. and read page or two
OF their own party's history.-N. Y.

A Frustrated Burglar.

About 10 o'clock last night Off.
Ger Fletcher saw a horse, saddled
and and bridled, hitched in the
rear of Mrs. MacDougalpe resi-
dence, on San Pedro street. Know
ing that the family were at Santa
Monica, he went into the yard to
investigate. He found the man
that has charge of the place, who
was as much surprised as the off.
Ger, and could give no account Of
how the animal came there.
Fletcher took possession of the
horse, and leaving the man on
guard, came up to the police Office
and reported the matter to Chief
Gard. They both returned to the
house, when the man who had
been left to watch, In.
formed them that, shortly after
Fletcher left, he had seen q man
open a window and come out of the
house, but being unarmed he had
been afraid to arrest him. Chief
Gard, who was provided with q
dark lantern, examined the prem
ises, but was unable to discover
that anything had been disturbed.
The would-be thief had got as far
as the wine room when he proba-
bly, heard officer Fletcher's move
ments and, as soon as quiet was re-
stored, concluded that he had bet.
ter vamos. Chief Gard made q
thorough search of the house and
grounds, but was unable to get any
further trace Of the thief.
The horse, which has been kept
by the Chief, will doubtless lead to
the detection of the burglar.

Anti-SIang Phrases.
TOhio State Journal,l

The Reform Club Is the title of 9
new organization in one of our
towns, organized by young ladies
for the purpose of fdiscouraging the
use of slang phrases in conversa-
ton. At a recent meeting, while a
member was addressing the socie-
ty, she inadvertently made use of
the expression "awful nice,U and
was called to order by sister
member for transgressing the
rules.
"In what way have I trans
gressed?" asked the speaker, blush
ing deeply.
"You said it would be lawful
nice to admit gentlemen to our
deliberations" replied the other.
swell, wouldn't it?" replied the
speaker. "You know you said your
self no longer ago than yesterday

full nice,' and that is slang.n
"Well," said the speaker, tartly,
"if you are going to be so awful
nice about 1t, perhaps it is; but I
wouldn't say anything If 1 were
you. Didn't you tell SaIlie Sprig-
gins this morning to pull down
her basque?'
"No, l didn't, "retorted the other,
her face growing CRIMSON; "and
Sallie Spriggins will say 1 didn't,
She won't go back on me.u
"Tbis is 6 nice racket you are
giving u.s." cried the President,
after rapping both speakers to or
der. "Let me ask what is the OBJ
ject of this society ?"
ITO discourage slang ~ cried a
dozen voices.

"now go on with the funeral.u
A member arose to explain that
she had been fined at the last meet
Ing for saying lawful nice" her
self, but she hadn't the stamps to
pay it now-would settle, however,
in the sweet bye-and.bye.
"Thapll be all right" said the
President; ''pay when you have

Another member asked il a

President, who was the founder OF
the society, and therefore appealed

President; twill you never tum-

But the confusion was too great
to be allayed. Mirenda's blood
was up; some sided with her and
others against, and amid the babel
that followed could be heard such

were actually engaged in It. It was
also stated that the carbineers had
unloaded carbines with them and
were without their revolvers. This
bold venture was carried out by the
society 80 we'll known in Sicily by
the name of Malta, and notwith-
standing that the brigands were all
heavily shackled, the Mafiasi inter-
ested In. the rescue knew how to
reduce the value of these precau-
tions to a minimum. After the
death Of the famous chief Leone,
the subject of this sketch, when he
heard of the capture of Salpietra,
gave himself up to the police in or.
der to turn States evidence against
his brother bandit, whom he 30
cordially hated"

which Americans treated such peo-
pie and subject them without loss

who was formerly member of the
celebrated Leone's band, and who
is now on his way here as an ex-

On landing, he will at once be tax.

c0rding to LEc0 d'ZtGlia, which
some years ago published full &C.
count of the desperado's doings,
from which the following is a
translation: "Randazza is u man
who talks more than he acts, and
boasts that he has hidden immense
treasure from time to time, which
gives him the command Of suffi-
cient money wherewith to purchase
any jury In the world. In 1870 he
was captured for having murdered
man named francesca Dubolino,
In July of that year, at a
little place called Tortoresi, In
the province Of Palermo. Pend
ing trial for his crime he was
locked up iu the prison of Castro
neuvO, from which he escaped and
again Joined Leone's band. When
the sixteen captors OF Mrs. Rose,

Randazza cut off, were being con-
veyed to their dungeons in a pris.

arrived at Via Lungapani, a some-
what unfreQuented street, from
which several narrow alleys open,
loud noise or explosion was
heard. The van came to o stand
still, its doors and those of two of
the cells flew open, and out dashed
four or five of the brigands, who
tumbled the carbineer within the
door to the ground aud took to
flight. The three chiefs, Salpietra,
Randazza and another, whose
name was differently given, all
slipped quietly out Of their cells
during the excitement and made
good their escape. On an investi-

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE SUN FOR 1881.

Everybody reads THE SUN. In the
editions of this newspaper throughout the
year to come everybody will find:
l. All the worlds news, 30 presented
that the reader will get the greatest
amount Of information with the least un-
profitable expenditure of time and eve.
sight. THE SUN long ago discovered the
golden mean between redundant fullness
and unsatisfactory brevity.
II. Much Of that sort OF news which de-
pends less upon its recognized importance
than upon its interest to mankind. From
morning to morning THE SUN prints
continued story of the lives OF real men
and women, and OF their deeds, plans,
owes, hates, and troubles. This story is
more varied and more interesting tnan
any romance that was ever devised.
Ill. Good writing in every column, and
freshness, originality, accuracy and deco
rum in the treatment of every subject.
Nv. Honest comment. THE SUMS
habit is to speak out fearlessly about men
and things.
V. Equal candor in dealing with each
political party, and equal readiness to
commend what is praiseworthy or to re
buke what is blamable in Democrat or
Republican.
vi. Absolute independence of partisan
organizations, but unswerving fidelity to
true Democratic principles. THE SUN
believes that the Government which the
Constitution gives US 10 good one to
keep. Its notion of duty is to resist to its
utmost power the efforts Of men in the Re-
publican. party to set up another form Of
government in place Of that which exists.
The year 1881 and the years Immediately
following will probably decide this su-
premely important contest. TIE SUN
believes that the victory will be with the
people against the Rings for monopoly,
the Rings for plunder and the Rings for
imperial power.

Gen. Jackson and Spoiis.

Since the shooting of the Presi-
dent we have seen no end OF phi.
losophy about the so-called "spoils
SYSTEM" and how it raises up as.
sassins. We will not stop to in-
quire whether the system is re-
sponsible for the evils charged
upon it. But its history, as re-
Gently given, Is much In need of
correction.
With one voice our esteem ed
Republican contemporaries impute
it to the Democracy, and denounce
Gen. Jackson, sometimes as the
author, and sometimes as the fn.
isher of it. But the truth is, Gen.
jackson had no moro to do with 1t
than any other President. He
never removed a man for mere hos
tility, or appointed one for mere
friendliness to himself. He had
notions about the integrity Of the
civil service and the nature of the
appointing power as. q public trust,
which, II they were not theOreti-
cally as beautiful on paper as those
of some of our sentlmentalists,
were at least honestly carried out.
The spoils system, like many
other abuses which have assailed
the purity of the Federal Govern
ment and filled the country with
scandals, was inaugurated by Alex
ander Hamilton. Jefferson found
it in full operation in the Treasury
Department when he entered the
Cabinet of Washington, and it
reached it's full development in all
the departments under John
Adams. 1t consisted of multi
plication Of offices, and the crea-
tion of useless patronage, dispensed
to personal favorites and political
partisans. This is the spoils sys-
tenn truly defined, of which Mr..
Hamilton was the author. He be.
lieved 1t necessary to increase the
weight and influence of the Exec
utive in Congress and in the coun.
try. 1t Is not worth while to de-
scribe the lengths to which
he carried 1t when relieved
from the restraint of Wash
ington by the accession OF
Adams. 1t is enough to say that ii
never agsinareached such proper.
tions until the times of Grant and
@rantism, Hayes and Fraud. Mr..
Jefferson reversed the Federalist
principle upon which Hamilton
and Adams proceeded, and the
