GEN. HARRISON is reported to have
gathered the robes of his spotless
Righteousness and the broad phylacteries
of his phariseeism close around him
when Col. Dudley made familiar ad-
vances to him after the election. He
said in effect and with stinging rebuke:
"Stand thou aside. l am holier-in
politics-than thou. do not approve OF
your methods in politics." How much
better this would have sounded
if it had been said when Dud-
ley was convicted of writing that
infamous letter on the eve of the elec.
ton. instead of after the event, when
General Harrison is the beneficiary OF
what Dudley did. Whatever Dudley 8
political crimes may be Harrison is
particeps criminis, and accessory before
the crime. 1t is not becoming of him
now to turn States evidence against his

self in readiness to begin work. Senator
Vest explained in opening that the i'm
preston had beer created that this COM
mittee had some connection with the
Convention of the Range Association and
Butchers Union. This was not the case,
further than it was thought good op-
portunity to secure testimony of num-
ber of delegates to that Convention and
facilitate the work of the committee.
The committee was not here to defend or
attack any interest.
Senator Vest then read the resolution
under which the committee had been
appointed, in substance to make an in
vestigation as to the transportation of
beef cattle, and whether a com mbination
existed on the part of the Trunk Line
Association, Central Traffic Association,
or other agencies of transportation, OF
among those engaged in buying and
shipping meat products, whereby the
price OF beef and beef cattle had been sc
controlled as to diminish the prices paid
producers without lessening the cost tc
consumers.
The only witness examined to day was
ID. II. Snyder, ranchman, residing al
Georgetown, Williams county, Texas
lie had heard in a general way that 9
combination existed in Chicago to lower
the market price of cattle, but had nc
personal knowledge of it. He said Chi
cago is the great cattle market of the
world. and when asked what he consid
cred tributary to Chicago, said from the
Gulf to the British POSSESSIONS and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. He
afterward modified his sweeping state
ment by looping off the East, which
turned to New York for market. Ht
could not say whether Chicago controlled
the New York and st. Louis markets.

From the observations made by our
informant in the southern part
of the county the plowing and
seeding will be very extensive this sea-
son, and certainly there could not be a
more promising or auspicious agricultural
outlook than is afforded by the splendid

Arbor Vitae Lodge No. S3, Rebecca

lodges Of Pasadena, Downey, Compton,
Santa Ana and San Pedro to spend the
evening with it last night, and.in honor
of the occasion two candidates were initi-

beautiful work in an excellent manner.
After this was over the ladies were joined
by the gentlemen and all adjourned to
the Silver Moon restaurant, where one of
this city had been prepared by chef Thos.
A. McAllen. At about IL o'clock the
guests were invited to return to the hall,
where music was furnished for all who
desired to dance. Mirth and pleasure
reigned supreme until after midnight,

solving the tabor Problem.

The Knights Of Labor, as an organiza-
ton, are now passing through the crucial
period of their existence. Their repre-
sentative convention in Indianapolis has
had task before it more difficult than
any which the organization has yet en-
countered, and upon the outcome
Of which its very existence depends.
MIR. Powderly has always seemed to us a
safe man. He has patience, he has in,
dustry and he has forethought. He has
kept steadily on in his work regardless
of the difficulties which have grown up
around him, and the dissensions that
have arisen in the ranks. He has calmly
and courageously met the attacks upon
himself and his actions. and has exhib
tied cool head and a steady
hand in guiding the order through
the breakers of internal discomfort
and external assault. Experience ha:
taught him one great secret which lies a
the very root of possible success of the
organization, and that is that it mus
have man at it's head invested with full
power to control and direct it in al
emergencies, carrying with him tht
confidence of the great mass o
the members, and exacting that obedi
ence to his will which is necessar,
to render his authority prompt in execu
ton and effective in result.
| The difficulty heretofore has been il
the popular character of the organization
To make it effective it must become au
tocratic. Its head must he surrounded
with councillors who will cooperate will
him cordially from the unity of views the.
will have upon all leading subjects. IL
order that he may have such Board, i
is necessary that he should designate
them or select them himself. The ranl
and file must either yield up their will
to the governing body or must cease t,
hope to accomplish the great purposes o
their organization. 1t is not Republi
where every man can have his own wa,
and force his own views. Ii all must b,
consulted and be conciliated, the1
nothing can be looked for but chaos.
| TIE convention has moulded itself tt
Mr.. Powderly's views, and seems dis
posed to grant him all the power he de
mands. If he is equal to the stupen
dous responsibility, he will be in posi-
ton to make his organization an agency
of power in this country second to thai
of the Government itself.

BEFORE the fine seven-mile boulevard

saleable only by the acre. After the great

THE Republicans, with their big ma.
iority, are already beginning to dread
defeat in the municipal election. The
Reform party is their bette noire, and
some of their organs are at one time
trying to snap their blacksnake whip
around its head, and at another trying to
placate it with cajoling words. But the
Reformers are neither to be driven nor
beguiled. They have started out to
make fight on set principles, and they
will neither swerve to the right nor to the
left. 1t is amusing to note the
callow appeals of some of the Jour.
nalistic echoes of the g. o. p. to these
straightforward and determined people
to make their fight within the ranks Of
that party. In their desperation they dc
not hesitate to falsify the attitude of the
Democratic party upon local questions
nor to assail it with style of vituper
alton which the manner of running the
late campaign has rendered them very
accomplished in. One who did no,
know how small a stock in trade of truth
these papers do business with, might
infer that the Democracy were very
rank set, and fit only "for treasons

PRospERrrY is ever the ruin of politics

PROSPERITY is ever the ruin of political
parties. The 6. o. p. in Los Angeles in
the present year of grace promises to
furnish terrible example of this. So
sure are the members Of sweeping the
city, that the worst elements are rising
to the top like scum. Regular and
irregular" caucuses are the order of the
day in many wards, and each declares
it will read the other out of the party.
The nefarious gang that always fat
tens at the public troughs are
out in force like flies on
a dead CARCASS. There is terrible buzzine
in all quarters. At one caucus last night
twenty-three electors of all colori
marched up and deposited their ballots,
but when the tellers counted the results
there were found to be seventy-five tickets
in the box! The African man and
brother was there in force. Altogether,
the affair was an edifying example ol
what All Decency, All Morality and All
Intelligence will do when they all three
start out to capture the ofices-with
their fat emoluments. There is more ol
the same thing on the programme for
tonight.
