Is one respect Democratic editors will
have an easy thing Of 1t this year. All
they have to do is to lie low and watch
for the daily or hebdomadal advent, as
the case may be, Of such journals as the
New York Times, Herald, Erening Post,
Hurper's Weekly, Puck, and so on ~
the end Of the chapter. All that is then
necessary s that they should pick out
from TIE columns of these journals Of
superfine, calendared Republicanism,
the least offensive OF tho onslaughts
upon Blaine with which their pages
will be omamented. OF course, they
will be at once accused Of brutal.
ity, billingsgate. malevolencc, Bour.
bon malice. and 30 on ad nauseam. All
ye Democratic editor then has to do to
utterly confound his enemy is to pull
ouS his authority, publishing his own
remarks and those OF the super.calen-
dared, superfne Republican journalist
in parallel columns, II need be. This is
l
as easy thing as shutting a iack-knife
or pulling the string which makes Jack
in.box stick out his head. II Is ms faeile
as the traditional process Of falling of
log or slipping ON the moss grown stones
of trout stream. II Is so easy game
as TO be robbed OF the excitement which
atto ends an ordinary contest OF wits. 1t
is true that the New York Times and
the Cincinnati Commercial. Gazette said
as mean things about Garfield prior to
that gentloman's nomination as any
Democratic journal ever said after II !;
but. If they did not take it all back, they
Immediately subsided after the election,
with as much grace as they could. Al
lowing for week to bridge the vtuper
alive chasm created by themselves, they
were found beslobbcring Garfield with
as much fulsome praise as any of their
Republican contemporaries. But the
present by no means recalls the past in
that regard, history having failed to re-
peat itself Warned by the past the
Consnerciai.Gazehe saw to il that it was
not caught 30 deeply in the tolls this
time, while the host OF able newspapers
which antagonizcd Blaine before the
convention antagonizo him now. They
have not intermittcd whit Of their OPP
position; but, on the contrary, it has
grown by what it has fed on. 1t is for
tunato for the Democratic journals
which will quote so largely from Ropub-
lican sheets this year that these are the
best and brightest of that ik in the land.
One Of them outweighs hundred of the
sheets which have been kindred in poll
ties in the past, but whose editors are
generally signalized by number ten

Welded BUT NOT MATED.
A Mesalliance with the Usual
Ending,

Old residents of Los Angeles will re-
member that the parties referred to in
the annexed paragraph came to this
city about the time mentioned. Such
details of their history as we have been
able to recall from personal knowledge
and gather from those who knew them
here, are presented below.
New YORK, June l3.-There arrived
in this city yesterday Mrs. Martha Won
Forkenbeck, from Los Angeles. In
1875 Mrs. Won Forkenbeck was living
in this city and married Won Forken.
beck. He told her pretty story of
rich mines in Germany and castles in
Spain. After marriage the couple went
to Los Angeles and the conduct of the
husband was so cruel, it is alleged, that
Mrs. Won Forkenbeck secured divorce
and came back to this city. Won For
kenbeck claimed to be of high descent
They were pleaslnt-mannered and
well-bred couple. Soon after their ar
rival Mr.. Won Forkenbeck sspurchased
the place of ex-Mayor Toberman, on
Pico street, near the western boundary
of the city. Here they lived for several
months, apparently happy and con
tented, when Mr.. Won Forkenbeck sold
his place, purchased the interest of Mr.
Satter, who was about TO emigrate TO
Guatemala, in the Congress Hall Sa-
loon, and entered into partnership with
Mr.. Joe Bayer. About this time there
began to be whispers of marital infelici.
ties, which, it was stated, grew out of
the fact that the husband was of much
higher social rank than the wife. The
story ran that Won Forkenbeek, who
had been an officer in the German
army, while stationed at an interior gar
rson, fell in love with an actress. This
was in the usual course, but it soon ap-
peared that, to put the cap sheaf on the
folly, lie was about to marry her His
relatives, who were of the bluest blood
of Berlin, his father holding some high
civic position and his uncle having been
Mayor of that city and afterwards Presi-
dent Of the Reichsrath, hearing of the
proposed mesaiiiance, they demonstrated
with the young man, pointed out the
social ostracism sure to follow and even
threatened disinheritance, but all to no
purpose. Won Forkenbcck, true to his
inalnorata, threw up his commission in
the army and fed with her to New
York, where they were married.
Soon after this important event they
came to Los Angeles, as before noted.
Won Forlienbeck, soon firing of the sa.
loon business, sold out, and, with
his wife, went to San Frencisco. OF
their life in that city but little is known,
except that vague rumors of continued
cruelty to his wife occasionally reached
this city. Finally, about four years
ago, Won Forkenbeck returned to Ger
many, leaving the partner of his i'll.
starred marital venture in the city of
San Francisco, where she remained un-
til few weeks ago, when she obtained
a divorce on the ground of desertion and
now turns up in New York, probably on
her way back to Vaterland.

The work of thorough local organi.
cation Of the Democracy Of the city OF
Los Angeles should be taken in hand at
once and cnergetically. While our cam
paign is fully month later than that OF
our adversaries, there is no reason why
we should not get our partisan machin-
cry ut once Ia order. The first blow is
half the battle, and we ought to be able
TO turn out half-dozen enthusiastic and
well disciplined clubs at the ratification
meeting which will follow the Demo-
cratic nomination at Chicago. We can
not be a moment too soon in putting
the ball in motion. In this county we
have n numefot,seund powerful enemy,
who ought to be confronted before he
has had time to thoroughly entrench
himself.

A Strange Pair of Kittens.

Mr.. i. Chandler, at Petrolia, reports
a pleasant capture OF wild animals near
the oil wells at that place. Some of his
workmen discovered a couple OF little
kittens, which they supposed were those
of wild cat, and brought them to
camp, where they have been tendcrly
cared for and fed with fresh squirrels
and an occasional piece of beefsteak and
a cup Of milk. The kittens have grown
rapidly and are great pets at Petrolia.
Within few days past the kittens have
developed such robust proportions and
peculiar characteristics, that Mr.. Chan.
dler was led to turn aside from the
cares of crowded life, the boring of
wells, building OF derricks, erection OF
tanks, setting up a refinery, measuring
gravity and shipping of petroleum, to
consider the character Of his kittens.
After consulting Button and other high
authorities in zoology, Mr.. Chandler
discovered that the two pets were not
wildcats at all, but genuine lynxes,
f. caaddcRSis, valuable for exhibition
but bad in poultry yard. He yester-
day purchased a couple Of chains to
keep the little pets from taking advan-
tage OF an excess OF liberty aid high
living. They are lively and beautiful
pair OF felints that will attract much at
tentiOn.

The bureau Of Medicine Frauds
WASHINGTON, June 26.-Secretary
Chandler appeared to-day as witness
before the sub.committe of the Senate
Committee on Expenditures of Public
Money and was examined in relation to
the recently discovered frauds in the
Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. The
total of the suspicious vouchers, he
said, discovered SO far, are about
500, 900, Many were made out in
the names of fictitious persons, and some
bore the names of actual firms. The
money fraudulently obtained was, in
some instances, divided between watch.
man in the department, Carrigan, chief
clerk, and Kirkwood, in charge OF ac-
counts. The frauds in the Bureau OF
Medicine and Surgery seem to have been
made possible largely by the omission OF
that wise precaution of having the
receiving officers certificate upon the
voucher itself. The witness said
that, some time last year, he read
n letter charging Carrigan with
drunkenness, and man came to him
and told him that Kirlwood and Carri
gan were engaged in fraud. Some in
quiry was made and the conclusion ar.
rived at that, while there were some
suspicious circumstances, there was
nothing warranting the conclusion of
guilt. There the matter rested until De.
tective Wood discovered the frauds.
