THAT all Councilmen do not serve the
city for their salaries or their health is
shown by the alleged experiences of the
unfortunate promoter of an electric rail-
way in Los Angeles. That gentleman
considered himself prosecuted, and en-
deayored to enlist the sympathies of a
Councilman who deals in chickens.
That individual, instead of flowing over
with sympathy for his fellow man, con-
centrated it all on his fowls. To appeals
for kindly consideration and forbearance,
he is said to have sent back word that
he dealt in chickens, that they must eat
and that they throve best on yellow corn.
This answer was worthy of diplomat.
Construed from vulgar and materials
tic point of view, it might indicate dis
position upon the part of the Council.
man to swell his bank account at the
expense of the electric railway man.
On the other hand, on it's face it shows a
touching concern for the pullets which
he naturally wished to see fat and mar
k0tablo.

Angeles and Orange counties, of the
Commissioners OF both counties who had

the county taxes was also adjusted on a
common-sense basis. The several off.
cial parties in interest having agreed
that the taxes assessed to Orange
county should be turned over to the Off.

PROTECTION OR FREE.TRADE P
The Wool.Gro wers, deas OF q Tar.
iff Policy.

WASHINGTON, December AT the Ma
tional Wool Growers meeting today a
committee to prepare an address to the
wool growers Of the United States was
appointed. Columbus Delhno, of Ohio,
President OF the National Association,
delivered his annual address. He said
both food aud clothing should be pro-
duced at home, not purchased from
abroad, when the people who consume
them have the facilities for their produc-
ton.
Influenced by the act of 1885,"
he continued, "wool-growing Ian.
guishes throughout the United States,
and without relief must soon per-
ish. In Texas the wool clip of 'S3 was
valued at $9,22S,2 In 1877 it was
valued at $5,016. .674, showing loss of
"a, Ill $50. Is it desirable to extinguish
the industry best adapted to this vast
section under the cry of free trade' or
free wool? Under the influence of the
ACT Of 'S3 our annual clip has been re-
duced 81, 900, 900 pounds, while it should
have been increased at the rate of 2
per cent. annually to keep pace with the
natural growth of the country. To thos @
who favor free trade as our true policy,
add no protest against free wool. If it
be free trade let us have it as system,
pure and simple, without adulteration
OF duplicity under the name of
incidental protection Let US do
one or the other, and have an
economic policy that is entitled to an
honest and correct name. A tariff for
revenue with incidental protection is a
delusion and fraud. We need national
policy on this subject, honestly named.
If protection, let it be general and uni.
form, embracing all the American indus-
tries that can be profitably pursued by
our people,"
At the conclusion of his address, the
meeting adjourned, and the delegates in
a body called on the President and Secre-
tary Rusk. Their brief interview with
the President, as well as that with the
Seer etary of Agriculture, is said to have
been of very satisfactory charac ter.

THE we'll authenticated intelligence
that Los Angeles is to have two new
transcontinental railways is unquestion-
ably having very happy effect on the
local money market, and the people
benefit accordingly. With the
splendid development and abundant
crops ahead for this section there ought
to be great activity in business. No city
on the American continent or in the
world has brighter prospect before her
than Los Angeles, at least as to ratio of
growth, and this certainty ought to induce
our banks and capitalists to loosen their
purse strings. Few people stop to think
what a superb railway system this city
already possesses. Through the Sunset
route we have all the advantages of a
connection with the Texas Pacific Rail.
way, besides having through the Sunset
itself the special distinction of being the
actual Pacific Coast terminus of the
shortest railway across the continent.
The branch OF the Southern Pacific
Railway from Los Angeles to Lathrop
makes this city as fully the terminus of
the Central and Union Pacific
systems as San Francisco herself. To
sum up our present transcontinental ad-
vantages, we have in the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe road full participa.
tion in all the benefits Of the Atlantic and
Pacific Railway. This city is thus really
already the terminus of five transconti-
mental railways, with two more to be
completed within q period Of ten years.
This makes Los Angeles incontestab.y
the center of the most complete and di-
versiied railway system on the Pacific
Coast, and one of the greatest railway
centers in the world. With a mining
territory of illimitable extent aligning
these different roads, in which iron, coal,
copper, lead, tin, silver and gold, and
many other valuable metals may be
mined, with great ease and profit, and
with the ability to grow nearly every
staple under the sun, it is high time
that the splendid destiny of the Angelic
City should record itself in an easy
money market.

TREY PLAYED EVEN.
Fatal Fcud Between a Federal and
a afty WArShal.


BUTLER, Mo-, December 4-United
States Marshal Willis, who had war
rant for the arrest OF Pierce Morgan,
moonshiner, late last night met him on
the street. Morgan declared he would
not be taken alive, and drew revolver
and tired. The bullet missed it's mark,
and Willis whipped out his revolver and
both fired simultaneously. Both bullets
took effect. Willis was shot through the
heart ana died instantly. Morgan was
shot in the stomach and died this morn
ing.
Another story of the tragedy is that it
was the consummation of long stand
ing feud. Yesterday Willis, while in
toxicsted, quarreled with some of Nor
gan's friends and was arrested by Nor
gan, who was City Marshal. Willis,
upon being released, swore out warrant
for Morgan's arrest, charging him with
obstructing Federal officer in the dis
charge of mis- duty. He went to Nor
gan's house, called him out, and the
shooting followed.

Donohus, counsel for O'Sullivan and

jury in their defense. Donohue talked
at length about circumstantial evidence,
