We would love to call the attention
of those who believe in pandering to
the mugwumps to the fact that Dock

Guilty Conscience.

The scratchers are now coming

why they did not vote the straight

Good WAY TO Put 1t.

81 am not civil service Democrat,
and don't agree with Cleveland, but
he was sworn to support the consti-
tuition and the law; he has taken q
stand on the civil service law and he
has got to enforce it or act the hypo-
critic. He has either got to be honest
or dishonest. He is an honest man
and is trying to fulfill his oath, no
matter what storms he may call
down upon him. For this I admire
him though I don't agree with him. :"

Democracy.
From the Glasgow Journal.

Dockery wins his race by almost
double the usual majority. He be-

Not make allowances for the in

Consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform.
Worry ourselves and others with

Not have an opportunity to speak

Not alleviate all that needs allevia-

MORRISON EXPLAINS.
The Defeated Illinois Congressman
Discusses the Campaign and Tariff.

WATERLOO, Nov. 4.-Coi. William
Morrison tonight, in response to in
quiries as to the cause of his defeat,
said: s'Iarrett, the tin plate emissa-
ry Of Pennsylvania, and other protec-
tionists protesting to represent the
Knights of Labor and other labor
we're in the district ten or
more days just before election, hiring
and bribing such as could be hired
and bribed to consolidate in Bakers
interest most of the labor element in
proof of which hiring and bribery
we have Jarrett s letters. While this
was going on Baker was declaiming
for pure ballot. Mr.. Hewitt's in
teryiew as telegraphed to the st.
Louis Post Dispotch falsely represent
ing me as standing in the way of
tariff reductions facilitated Jarrett's
mission of bribery in the interest of
protectionists, but it is all right If
the blood of the martyrs is still the
seed of the church"
To the question whether the result
was a surprise, Colonel Morrison
said: Il recognized the influences
that were at work as I went through
the district. I received great deal
of information as to what was going
on, but what surprised me was the
solidity with which the element that
defeated me was handled this time
Heretofore 1 have had my share OF
the labor vote of the district. This
time it was handled as l have indica.
ted"
Col. Morrison does not entertain
the idea that the cause of tariff re.
form has received setback by reason
of his defeat or that of Mr.. Heard OF
Mr.. Carlisle's close call. To the
question if the results would beal
that Interpretation he replied: ooh
no, not at all. Our cause is grow
ing right along. We have lost nc
strength.
To the inquiry whether any senti
ment antagonistic toward the admin
istration had had a bearing on The
result, Col. Morrison said: mo,
think not. These are hard times
There is some feeling that the chang.
of administration has not been fol
lowed by that effect on business ane
by such revival of good things a
was anticipated. This feeling, wha
there was oft, produced some apath.
among Democrats, perhaps, but I di'
not discover anti-administration sen
timent based upon any specific oh
lection to the course of the Presi
dent"
Touching again upon the remarl
of Mr.. Hewitt as telegraphed, Col
Morrison said: "Mr. Hewitt's bill
a good one. 1t legislates definitel
upon certain points which are nov
left to construction by the treasur
department and whic!. notinfrequeni
lily give rise to controversies and leg
Iisiation. am in favor of Mr.. Hew
tits propositions, but the effect o
making that bill law will be to in
crease the tariff, and that means in
creased taxation. The amount,
think, is estimated by the treasury t.
be five millions or more. Now, / wa
for the Hewitt bill, with this provis
that at the same time there shoui
be other tariff changes which woul
corr espondingly reduce the aggre

solely because in the form presente

PORTRAIT PAINTINGS.
Some Notes Concerning Col.
jerks, Latest Work.

one of the most delightful places In Los
Angeles for those who enjoy real art, is the
studio of Col. Albert jerks, in the Baker
Block This distinguished portrait painter,
to develop taste here for true art. His
portraits speak for themselves, AMI SO nat
ural are they that often, for the moment, II
is impossible to realize that the life-like
personages before you are but "counterfeit
presentments.
reporter of the HERALD, in quest OF
news, yesterday spent half an hour very
proitably in the studio OF this artist. His
attention was first attracted by the magnifi-
cent three-qusrter length portrait OF Mrs.
Remi Nadeau. wife of the well known and
highly esteemed cwner OF the Nadeau
Block In this city. 1t is difficult to speak in
too high terms OF this work OF art. Mrs.
Nadeau's fine figure has been brought out to Z,
the well known brilliancy of her eyes,
which makes the portrait seem full of life.
In her portrait Mrs. Nadeau appears dressed
In black, wit With elegant adornmsnts ado na,1as
is also of lace and is very handsome. One
of the chief charms OF the portrait is the
manner In which the c0lOrs harmonizc. IT
certainly is an excellent likeness and one
of which Mrs. Nadeau and her numerous
friends may be proud Not long since
the HERALD referred in strong terms of
praise to the fine portrait of Mr.. Nadeau
painted by the same artist, and the portrait
of Mrs. Nadeau, now completed. Will make
a fine companion picture. Doubtless both
portraits will for long time be household
treasures in the Nadeau family.
Among other recent portraits painted by
Col. jerks may De mentioned that OF Rev.
A. NJ Hough, prominently connected with
the University of Southern CaiifornIa, also
that of Mr.. Eugene Germain and Mr. H.
w. Hellman, Mrs. J, d. Bicknell and
Mrs O. w. Childs. Two of the most strik-
ing likenesses the studio are those OF Mr..
and Mrs. A. II. Judson. Both are admira'
particularly beautiful. 1t is difficult to see
how either portrait could be improved:
Other portraits there are, which are well
worthy of extended mention, but they will
be referred to later. Never before in the
history of Los Angeles has there been ex-
hibited here such fine collection OF por-
trait paintings.
