LET THE ANOMALY END

In an editorial under the head, LET
the Anomaly End," the bright little
Chicaso Globe says: There is excellent
basis for the opinion that the Wlsest
oonrse would be to make an end at
onoe of the anomalous Territorial
svstem., which never has had any /
proper place in our republican
system." The article goes on to say
that, There is no valid argument for
ths exclusion Of any large number OF
American citixsns from their due repre-.
aentation in the great assembly OF the
republic, because they happen to dwell
in a part of the repuhlic which is still,
in material conditions, primitive. The
sole question ought to be: Are
thew capable of doing what local
order and tranquility require to
have done, ana OF paying the costf II
the answer is yea, then there is no JUS
tice in excluding them from the right

oublic can claim" In the case OF Utah
the editor would say no, solely on
account of the practice eff polygamy,
Init the moment the people of this Ter
yitory. "in good faith surrender" poly
pamy, "Utsh also ought to betaken out
of the Territorial status, and that
anomaly of century be ended"
It's rare that an editor in State,
esnecialIv if he is in an old State, writes
in thig vein, and with such honesty and
frsnkness. Learned as he may be gen.
erslly. and familiar as he is with the
American system of government, the
average editor Is woefully Ignorant Of
the Territorial system. He has vague
idea that in some respects it is unlike
that of a State, but he does not under
atand that this difference consists
almost exclusively in the denial OF tint
rights of citizenship to the people
living in the dependencies. He lmag
ines that the native born reslden
of Territory is as much citizen o
the United States. at least, as the na-
turalized pauper whose passage none.

wars to which the Republic has been g
party. We have heard intelligent edi
tors who stand at the head OF inf1Hen-
tial newspapers with national reputa-
ton, ask as TO the number of Repreeen-
tatives Utah had in Congress. They
were surprised when told that the one
Delegate sent to the Capital was not
even permitted to vote, and that it was
only by courtesy that he was allowed
to address the House. In the Sen
ate he has to work like the ordi-
nary lobbyist, and is far less
influential. The nation pays certain
of the expenses of the local govern
ment, and as compens alton assumes an
almost absolute dictatorship over the
Territories, naming all the general Of
fcers, administering the laws, and in
the case of Utah providing the statutes.
About the only right left to the citizen
of this Territory is the right to pay
taxes, though if his politics ard religion
are orthodox, he csn serve on the jury
at 81 per day.
If the American people understood
how ur.republican, how una merican,
how Infamous in some instances the
Territorial governments are, the system
would be abolished at once, and the
million and a half of people, largely
American born and descended from
the very best stock in the republic.
would be raised to the dignity of Amer
lean citizens. The people, who are
among the most loyal, the most enter
prising, the most progressive in the
nation, would not be held in bondage
and treated as slaves, if Americans gen.
orally understood the situation.
THE HERALD is not talking for Utah.
We know the prejudice which exists
against the local community, and
while knowing that the prejudice is
largely senseless and unwsrranted, We
realize how utterly hopeless is the tssB
of removing it. Time will have to dc
what argument cannot accomplish
in the matter. There are seven Terri

BADLY BURNED,
Another Victim of the Gasoline
stove.

Another Victim of the Gasoline
stove.
Mrs. Hattie May, the propristress Of a
private kindergarten school at the corner
Of Forester and Vermont avenues, had
narrow escape from death by burning,
on Friday afternoon last. While busily
engaged in the preparation of the mid
day meal, Mrs. May stopped over the
gasoline stove and her clothing, which
was of light and infammable material,
became ignited. She did not, however,
lose her presence Of mind, but as quickly
as possible she ran to an adjoining room
and endeavored to smother the flames
by wrapping blanket round her. Un-
fortunately she was only able to cover
her head and shoulders with the blanket
and the flames burnt her limbs and body
severely. Her screams attracted the at
tention of Miss Hovelman and II. E.
Siddal, two near neighbors, both of
whom ran to the house. On arrival at
the scene, Mrs. May was found writhing
in agony on the floor of the bedroom.
The bed.clothes with which she had en-
tangled herself in vain effort to ex'
tinguish the flames, were in such dis
order that it was found necessary to tear
them from the suffering woman. AS
soon as possible vaseline was applied to
the burnt places on Mrs. Mays body
and limbs, and physician was called
in. Though the wounds are of a serious
character, no immediate danger is antici-
pated from them, and the patient was
resting comparatively easy yesterday.

THAT STRIKE.
Reports show That IL Is Very
Rich.

Reports show That 1t Is Very
Rich.
1t appears that the ledge Of silver ore
that was found early last week in the
San Gabriel cafi On is likely to realize the
expectations which were formed at that
time. Recent reports show that the
streak is holding out and that very likely
it extends downward considerable
distance. Some years ago tunnel was
sent in from the side of the hill and a
rich body Of silver ore was struck. The
gentleman who owned the mine thought
he would sell it, as it was at the begin
ming of the land boom and he
thought he could make money faster in
land. He took samples East, and at one
time nearly effected a sale at good
figure. Then came a heavy storm, and
the tunnel, which was not properly
braced, caved in. Since then two at
tempts have been made to strike the ore
by parallel tunnels, but beyond an aver
age pay rock, nothing extraordinary was
found until early last week, when the
Superintendent of the mining company
owning the mine stumbled across the sur
face cropping Of what appears to be the
same ledge az that found in the
caved tunnel. The Superintendent
had climbed the side of the
mountain above the old tunnel and
was not looking for anything in particu.
lar, when in the midst OF the brush he
caught sight of the outcroppings of the
ledge, and broke some of it off for testing.
The first sample sent to the city assayed
1890 per ton and the next 81 $40 per ton,
and then came the samples from the rich
streak, which ssssyed 81, ,260 per ton and
$40, OH per ton. This streak is from

LOCAL EVENTS.
The Inquest in the Case Of
Mrs. Warn.
SHE TOOK TOO MUCH MORPHINE.
Another Victim of the Gasoline
StOve-Mining Report from the
San Gabriel Canon.

Coroner Meredith held an inquest
yesterday morning upon the body oil
Emma L. Warn, who died on Friday
afternoon last, at the Orient lodging
house, No. 81 West First street, from the
effects Of dose of morphine admins
tered by herself.
Frank Warn. her husband, testified to
the effect that the deceased had been q
confirmed invalid for the past six years,
Of which period she had spent four years
at Santa Barbara, under the treatment
of DR.. Williams, of that place. She
came to Los Angeles in July last, since
which time she has been treated by sev.
eral physicians almost. continuously.
She was in the last stage of consump-
ton, and had wasted away to almost q
skeleton. On Friday last Warn got
up as usual in the morning and
went to work, but before leaving the
house he reused Mrs. Bessie Swain
who had nursed his wife for the past
three or four weeks. About noon, and
shortly after he had gone, Mrs. Warn
called Mrs. Swain and asked her to 60
for doctor as she felt much worse, and
just as the latter turned to leave her
room, which adjoined that Of her patient,
she heard noise as of someone falling.
Rushing back to the folding doors, Mrs.
Swain saw that Mrs. Warn had fallen to
the floor, and on going over to pick her
up she was surprised to find that the sick
woman was frothing at the mouth and
her limbs were stiffened. She lifted the
senseless form and laid it upon
the bed, and at once telephoned
for Warn and DR.. Westlake, both
of whom arrived shortly afterwards.
Warn attempted to raise his wife and as
he did 80, she murmured, II am blind
cannot zee you," snd almost immedi-
ately relapsed into unconsciousness from
which she never rallied again. The
physician did everything possible to
revive his patient, but at O'Clock in the
afternoon she died. Neither Mrs. Swain
nor Warn wsre aware that the
deceased had any morphine in
her possession, but DIR. WestIake
discovered small pill-box containing
some of the drug. which had evidently
been prescribed for her by some ply.
sician by whom she had been treated.
The only other witnesses examined were
Mrs. Swain and DR.. 81. w. Westlake.
The former merely testified as to picking
up the deceased after her fall, and the
physician's evidence was briefly confined
to his being called in and the cause Of
death, which, in his opinion, was NOR.
phine poisoning. The jury returned a
verdict in accordance with the facts
elected at the inquest, but expressed no
opinion as to whether the drug was taken
with auicidal intent or otherwise.
