f4EVEL.HEsAD JURY.
HrOnek Round guilty Despite the
Judges Lcanings.

CHICAGO, December 1.-At the conclu-
sion Of arguments in the Hronek dyna-
mite case this evening Judge Collins at
once charged the jury. every pre-
SUMPTION" said the Judge, sis in favor
OF the prisoner. If the jury believe
dynamite came into the possession OF
the prisoner prior to the passage of the
law which was passed July l, 1887, and
under which he was indicted, they must
bring in d verdict Of acquittal. They
must be satisfied that the prisoner pro-
cured the dynamite since the above date,
with felonious intent to destroy human
life, in order to convict"
The Judges charge was quite long, and
its reading occupied fully half an hour.
At 910 the jury retired. AT 94S the
announcement was made that the jury
had agreed. The attorneys hurriedly re-
turned, and the spectators seats quietly
filled up. The Judge took his seat, the
prisoner was brought in and the jury
filed in and took their seats. The YER
dict was handed to the Clerk OF the
Court, who opened the paper and read :
"We the jury find the defendant guilty
as charged in the indictment, and fix his
punishment at twelve years in the peni-
tertiary"
A friend leaned over to tell Hronek
the verdict, but he looked up with a
pleasant smile and said: "Ich Verstene."
His face betrayed no evidence OF disap-
pointment or fear

HERE is cud for the Pharasee politi-
clans to chew on. The Pasadena jail is
reported as containing 210 criminals.
Our County Jail usually holds but few
more, yet all the criminals OF all the
towns, as we'll as of this city, gather
there. Our city Jail in Los Angeles does
not average more than fifty inmates.
And there you have the whole story in a
nutshell. Vice fourishes where there
is low license, where there is
high license, and where there is
Prohibition. The idea that creature COM
fort lies at the root of all crime, and that
sour face and virtue are akin, is great
mistake. Let us conduct the city govern
ment on practical grounds and not
Quixotic theories proven ages ago to be
fallacious. What we want in the Coun-
Gil, in the Mayors Office and the School
Board is sense. We want practical
men with experience OF the world, who
will give us schools, who will sewer the
city, who will make streets, and not
parcel of goody-goody old women in
pantaloons AMI of hide-bound political
partisans who will keep the city in an
uproar all the year about the offices, or
about vices which never have been
eradicated and never will be. We want
a clean, able, sensible. practical, firm
administration which will keep vice of all
sorts in check without any Pharaseeism
or false pretense in it. The city is out of
swaddling clothes and will not be put
back in them. While crime will be re.
pressed, innocent enjoyment will not be
molested. The result in Pasadena sh ould
teach the fellows lesson who are fitting
at moral windmills.

CHANGING RATES.
The TraD6cOntinen Lines Show
Difference to the Coast.

CHICAGO, Defender 1.-The lines in
the Transcontinental Association to-day
practically agreed at their meeting here
to make change in the rates to the
Pacific coast, in accordance with the
wishes OF shippers, who have complained
that the rates from Chicago and other
western points are too high; in fact, too
near the New York basis; SO it is to be
expected that new rates will be put into
effect by January l.. The rates will be
graded in the following order: From
Missouri River points, from Mississippi
River Points, from Peoria, from Chicago,
from Detroit, from Cleveland and 30 on.
The rates in detail will probably be
agreed upon on Monday.
EASTERN LINES.
The General Managers of the east
bound railroad lines agreed at meeting
to-day to restore the rates On all classes
of dead freight, including grain and pro-
visions, and to advance dressed beef
rates to basis of fifty cents hundred
pounds, and live stock rates to 221s cents.
The session lasted all day. The restora-
ton of rates is delayed five days longer
than expected, the time for the change to
take place, being December 18th,
instead of December 18th.

The saloon business in this city is
principally in the hands of Republicans.
For this reason the Democratic party has
always had that powerful interest against
it. 1t is against it now, or it has changed
very much since the Presidential elec-
ton. 1t has good reason to be antagon-
istic to the Democratic party. That party
will carry out the tenets of it's platform,
and whilst it will not proceed under the
false pretense that high license
will weed out the lowest class
OF saloons and make the business
respectable, it will proceed to suppress
all saloons that are disorderly and OBJ f.,
noxious, without regard to the high or
low rate of the license. The candidates
of the Democratic party are pledged to a
perfectly sound and practical policy.
There is no double-dea!ing or hypocrisy
in it. The license question will be prac-
tically handled in the interest of good
government and of the taxpayers. Sa-
looms that are carried on in defiance o
morals or order shall not be permitted to
exist, license or no license.

DEmOCRATIC CITY TICKET.
For CoUNCILMEN-
Platform.

WHEREAS, The Democracy OF the city of Los
Angeles should be congratulated upon the fact
that, although defeated in the late National
campaign, it has not in the least weakened theiI
for principle and right; and
WHEREAS, The Republican party was in
power in Los Angeles city from the 1st of Jan.
uary, 1885, to the LIST of January, 1883: it had
it had its Chiefs of Police yet never in the his
tory of this city was gambling so open and de-
fiant, never was crime so rife and audacious
and never was the peaceful citizen SO subject
to the attacks of midnight Iufians and his
property so at the mercy of thieves; therefore

and the closing of disorderly houses, shall be
strictly and rigidly enforced by the police arm
of the municipal government.
Resolued, That, whilst we do not object to the
imposition of as high license upon the retail
liquor business as it will bear, on the principle
of increasing the municipal revenue from the
traffic in non-essentials, we are opposed
to the policy proclaimed by our opponents, that
disorderly dens may flourish if they will
mocrscy of Los Angeles do not believe in en-
couraging disorderly houses at any price. and
are firm in their belief that the way to suppress
resorts obnoxious to good order and to public
morals is to revoke their licenses and sum
marily close them.
RESOLVED, That the Democracy of the city o.
Los Angeles are in favor of liberal expenditures
under proper system of check. for public i'm
prOvements in increasing the facilities OF OH
public schools; in improving our streets; il

spirit of their platform, one part ol
which is as follows:

LITTLEwOOD'S GREAT RECORD,
Dynamite and Opium COnspiracies.
HrOnek Guilty-Haines
Acquitted.

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD
New York, December An immense
crowd was present at Madison Square
Garden to witness the conclusion of the
walking match. Enthusiasm was in
tense as Littlewcod finished his 62lst
mile, or the best record, at Z :52 p. NJ.
Ever lap after this added to the excite
ment of the throng, for the Englishman
was then on new ground and hoisting the
record. At S:07 Littlewood completed
622 miles and one lap and then left the
track. Herty finished his 600th mile at
s 80. Soon afterwards Nike Kelly pre-
sented the belt to Littlewood, the winner,
with brief speech.
The ex-champion, Albert, challenged
Littlewood to another match for the
championship OF the world, each enter
ing to put up $1,000, to be divided be-
tween the walker, in addition to his
share in the gate receipts.
Herty, at this time, was still on the
track, making an effort to break Rowell's
best record of COZ miles and 1S5 Yards.
At Q 40 he made 602 miles, and shortly
after was ahead OF Rowel. All the con-

OPIUM CASE ENDED.
Haines Acquftted-Gardn Sent to
the "sPen', for zen Years.

AUBURN, N. Y, December 1.-At the
opening of the United States Court this
morning Judge Brundage summed up
the evidence for Haynes in the opium
smuggling conspiracy case. The great
weight of his argument was in denuncia-
ton OF Lawyer Stone of Ogdensburg,
who turned States evidence, and a
eulogy of Haines' good character. He
closed by endeavoring to show the alb
surdity of Haines' engaging in any such
plot, urging that the jury should not
give any weight to the testimony OF
perjured villain.
United States Attorney Lockv ood
followed for the Government. He care
fully reviewed the testimony, upon which
he asked for the conviction of the de-
feudants.
The celebrated case came to an end
finally about :45 O'Clock this afternoon
with verdict of guilty in the case OF
Edward Gardner, and of not guilty in the
case of John @. Haines, the young law
yer of Seattle. w. T. The jury was out
about an hour While the court was
waiting for the jury to return in the con-
spiracy case, sentence was imposed on
Gardner, who was found guilty on Tues
day last, of smuggling. He was SEN
fenced as follows
On the first three counts in the lndict-
ment, two years in the Erie county peni-
tentiary and to pay a fine of $5,000 on
the second three counts in the indict-
ment, two years in the Erie county peni-
tentiary and to pay a fine Of 5000.
When the jury returned with verdict
of guilty in the conspiracy indictment,
Gardner was sentenced to two years
more in the Erie county penitentiary.
The total sentence is thus six years. iln-
prisonment and 10000 fine.
Haines was congratulated on his ac-
quittal by the leading business and pro-
fessional men of the city, whose friend
ship he had gained during the trial.

THAT is pretty rough thing the Har-
rison crowd have got off on Estee. Mat.
ters were shaping to give the Pacific
Coast member of the Cabinet, and
Estee was amongst the prominent Re-
publicans whose claims were being
strongly urged. But just as the Presi-
dent-elect was probably doing some
favorable chewing on Estee's name, out
comes special from Indianapolis
to the New York Herald, say
ing that the Californian might
be available, "if he were not handi-
capped by the railroad interests" This
is construed by the Republican Central
Committee of this State as meaning that
Estee was a creature Of the railroads,
and they Indignantly denounce the asser.
ton as false. But we opine that there is
another and very different meaning tc
the imputation. 1t means that Estee is
handicapped by the opposition of the
railroads. and as Harrison has always
been corporation lawyer this is proba
bly, where the objection to Estee comes
in strong.

VOTERS will take no stock in the silly
nonsense being mendaciously cir culated
to the effect that the Democratic candi-
dates are owned by the immoral classes
of the city. The men on our ticket are
clean men, with excellent records in all
respects. Their lives will challenge
comparison with those of any men in the
community. They are for the enforcing
of the laws. They are for good govern
ment. They are for the restraint Of vice,
for the punishment OF crime. They
will allow legitimate business to run
its course, unrestrained by the narrow
views of the few impracticals who think
big city can be turned into an infant
class in Sunday school. The city wants
and will tolerate no such regime.

While he will attend to the duties of

THE Tribune says that the keeper of a
bagnio in this city is said to have given
her check for $500 to aid the election OF
the Democratic ticket. OF course, there is
no truth whatever in this shameless
libel, or the Tribune would not have
shielded itself behind the cowardly cover
sit is said" The Democratic City Cen
tral Committee publish card elsewhere
in which they denounce as lies made out
of whole cloth the Tribune's calumnies.
There was hardly need of this official
stamping out of the barefaced falsehoods
of that paper. Such libels impose upon
nobody, and show the weakness of a
cause which requires the aid of that in
famous kind of bolstering.

streets because the heavy taxpayers
were not willing to pay for it. He was
largely instrumental in raising the water
rates. These are not the acts of firm
friend of the people. They are not the
acts of clear-sighted, practical man.
Mr.. Miles may be an estimable gentle
man, but he is not consistent and
square toed. He is not qualified
to take charge of great and growing
city. He is not the man for Galway this
time. The people know this and there
is terrible falling away of his own party
from his support. He will be defeated
because OF these shortcomings. What
the HERALD prints is street talk. 1t
comes mostly from members of his own
party. 1t will defeat him.

WE see that the soi-disant Reforme

WE see that the soi-disant Reformers
nominated J. NJ. Frew as one of the Re-
publican candidates for Councilman from
the Second ward, and left the name of
James F. Burns out. What is the matter
with Mr.. Burns? And why leave his
place blank? Two excellent names were
on the Democratic ticket to choose from
if Mr.. Burns didn't come up to standard.
Why was not one of these taken, if the
organization was an impartial one
Simply because they only wanted Re-
publicans, and that's all there is in the
movement. 1t is side Republican or
ganization and its works prove it.

WHAT this city wants just now is
practical, progressive business methods
which will array her in the garb of
womanhood becoming her fair proper
tons. Mr.. Miles is not the man for this.
A series ofinterviews in the HERALD with
his old associates in the Council and
with citizens who remember his course
in that body is conclusive on this point.
He is responsible for that infamous old
ramshackle, the present City Hall.
He backed and filed and nearly fell
down on the proposition to raise the
license. He opposed the cleaning Of the
