wGBsTEa,S EQUIvOCATION.
He WilfHIly HlisIed the Commons as
to PigOttss Letter.

LONDON, March 24-Lewis, solicitor
for the Parnellites, calls attention to the
amazing and important misstatement of
French to Pigott, which was made by
Attorney General Webster in the Com
mons, Friday last. He says that the
letter referred to by Webster as having.
been placed in Sir Charles Russell's
hands five days before Pigott's appear
ance in the witness-box was letter from
Soames, solicitor for the Times, to Pigott,
and that the two other letters from
Pigott to Soames, in which Pigott adj
mitted that he feared to undergo cross
examination, were withheld by the
Times lawyers. Lewis says it is d fact
that neither the counsel nor the solicitor
for the Parnellites had notice of the exc
istence of these two letters until Pigott
had decamped.
Attorney-General Webster, replying to
Lewis, writes that he believes that he
handed to Sir Charles Russell the letters
to which Lewis refers, but that he will
have to refer to his shorthand notes for
confirmation. In any case, he says, the
matter is not important, because none of
the letters would have justified the with
drawal of Pigott from the witness box,
and, further, Sir Charles Russell elected
not to have the letters read until he was
in the box.

THE precise relations existing between
Governor Waterman and his Private Sec
retary, Marcus d. Boruck, are just now
the subject of a great deal of discussion
in the press. The general impression
seems to be that the Governor is honest
but bungling, and that the Secretary has
made his position inure to all possible
advantage to himself. Oflate, Mark has
developed very belligerent temper, is
said to have loaded himself up with a
formidable looking gun, and is ready to
give battle to all comers, editors and re-
porters preferred. Meanwhile, his "Acci-
dency" is holding levees in San Diego,
leaving Sacramento in charge of his tru-
culent subordinate. As the Secretary is a
stalwart, it looks as il he will hold the
fort, and seekers after notarial positions
and pardons for malefactors should re-
member that he knows just where the
great seal of State is kept, no matter
where the Governor may be sojourning.

A NUMBER OF our Republican contem-
poraries are objecting to one of Thomas
Nast's cartoons in the Examiner because
it holds up Harrison's administration as
"boodle" one. 1t is probable that the
President himself is honest and respect
able in his impulses, and we do not in.
tend to say anything unpleasant about
him until he has shown that he is sim
ming against knowledge, but the indica-
tions thus far all point to corrupt and
spendthrift regime. When men like
Wanamaker and Window, to say moth
ing of Blaine, are appointed to the cabi-
net, there is every reason to suppose
that there will be playing at fast and
loose with the national finances. The
superior abilities of the last named gen.
tleman have somewhat obscured his
Mulligan letters and Peru performances.
but his very presence in the cabinet is, of
itself sufficient proof that trouble is ahead,
and that a severe and Roman-like integ-
rity, of the Cincinnatus and Cato order,
is likely to be conspicuous by its absence.
But there is an objection of another kind
to Mr.. Nast's cartoons which most Dem
ocrats, at least, will recognize, and that
is, that, in the days when that individual
had marked skill as a caricaturist, he
was the meanest, most malignant and
most persevering enemy of the Demo
cratic party and of everything Demo
cratic. Mr.. Mast, through some mys-
terious agency, has lost the sprightliness
and inspiration that once made him val
liable to HGrper'S Weekly, and it is to be
regretted that his present efforts against
a Republican administration have not

often annoyed Democrats in the days of
his evil ascenGancy. People who can be
hired to lampoon irrespective of prin-

have superIative qualifications, which
has not been the case for years with
Mast.

IT HAS all along been assumed by
the Republican press that the Re-
publicans carried West Virginia, and
that the resistance to Goff's assumption
of the Governorship of that State has
arisen from Democratic factional spirit,
1t is somewhat significant that of some
seventy odd Republicans arrested and
indicted for fraudulant voting in West
Virginia, all except two or three pleaded
guilty. This does not look like Demo
cratic fraud. A very marked circum-
stance of the campaign in that State is
that Steve Elkins, who with James 6.
Blaine, is heavily interested in West
Virginia coal and iron mines and rail
ways, spent his time in that section for
some months before the election. What
Elkins don't know about colonizing
voters and instigating sharp practices Of
all kinds nobody else need to try tolearn.

A RAILROAD LEASED.
The N. II. R. H. Obtains an Outlet
Into Chicago at Last.

PHILADELPHIA, March PA reporter
of the Enquirer to-day learned from a
well-known railway man that the North
ern Pacific Railway Company has at last
secured control OF the Wisconsin Central
railroad, and through it an entrance to
Chicago. The Enquirer will give the
following details as to the lease: G. C,

ton of the property, connections and ac.
counts, of the Wisconsin Central Com
pany. He went over every mile of the
main line and its allied branches, and in
quired into itsresources and traffic conpec-
tions. The result of his investigations has
been compiled in his report, and will be
submitted to the Board on Tuesday. In
it he recites the reasons why the acqui.
eition of the Wisconsin Central Road
will be an advantage to the Northern
Pacific Company. The Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy, the Northwestern and
st. Paul, and other lines entering
Chicago, are reaching out westward for
traffic, and will, in his opinion, ulti-
mately reach the Pacific coast and be-
come transcontinental lines. The Cana
dian Pacific has Chicago outlet,
and 30 have all the Pacific coast
lines. If the Northern Pacific is to
maintain its position it must have equal
facilities, and Wheeler sees no other line
but the Wisconsin Central that can
afford the Northern Pacific the needed
outlet. The road, he says, is in first
class condition. 1t possesses good toll
ings, has local trade, and is self-sup-
porting. With the influence of the Inter
State Commerce law, he believes the
road will be profitable one. The lease

EARNEST and persistent work needs to
be done in many directions towards the
developing of the resources OF Los Ange-
les county and of Southern California
generally. Only the merest beginning
of this good work has yet been done.
The merest preliminary steps have been
taken towards making of this section the
1.-THE of what it is capable. The present
county of Los Angeles alone is capable of
supporting a million souls. Its gen.
erous soils, warmed by such genial
skies will in the coming time be worth
prices which seem to us now fabulous.
Los Angeles city should in five years
have population Of upwards of quarter
of a million. In decade it ought to be
one of the best built cities on the conti-
nent, and containing half a million peo-
pie. It is necessary to advertise the at
fractions of the section of all
kinds more literally and in more
diverse ways than this work has yet
been done. The great annual fair to ex-
hibit our resources ought, by all means,
to be established. The city should put upa
hotel, the finest and most luxurious in the
land. The community should become
railroad builders on their own account,
and hold this city as the center OF all
railroad traffic in the Southwest for all
lime to come. God helps the man and
the community that helps itself.

THE new Minister to France, Mr..
Whitelaw Reid, is, to a remarkable de-
gree, beneficiary of the old adage that
it is better to be born lucky than rich.
He happened to be high up in the man
agement of the great Tribune newspaper
at the time when Horace Greeley, in an
i'll advised moment, permitted himself
to be run for President. Mr.. Greeley
emerged from that conflict utterly broken
down, mentally and physically, although
still nominally the editor of the Tribune.
1t is said, on what appears to be good
that the finishing stroke was
given to the old gentleman by Reid's

THE nomination of Fred CIR Mt as
Minister to Austria means more than
appears on the surface. The stalwart
detection in New York caused
the defeat of Blaine in 1884. 1t was
largely through the Plumed Knights
interposition that Col. Grant was nomin-
ated for Secretary of State in the EN-
pire State in 1887. Blaine undoubtedly
wishes to heal this breach, and it is not
improbable that he does SO with an
oblique view to running for President as
the Republican candidate in 1892. His
methods are quite Mephistophelian, and
the interests of the nation would count
for very little in the balance. The new
Minister to Austria has absolutely no
qualifications for the post, if we throw
aside the fact that he is the son of his
father. The interests of the public SER
vice are to be made to yield to the
exigencies of Republican politics.

THE great and only Sam Davis is being
pressed by the Nevada delegation for
Minister to the Sandwich Islands. If
Sam should turn out half as good a
diplomat as he has proved to be a
newspaper man, the Bismarcks and other
big wigs OF the European courts would
have to look to their laurels. It is a
tradition that, when King Kalakaua was
in San Francisco, Davis, who was then on
the Chronicle, was entrusted with the
responsible function of showing his
majesty the sights of the "wickedest, :"
and that he did it SO effectually that the
Chronicle heard nothing of him until l
O'Clock OF the following day. He would
doubtless receive an ELUSIVE welcome at
Honolulu.

BREAK FOR FREEDOM.

Raise a Riot.
CINCINNATI, March 24.-This morning
thirty-five out of hundred and sixty
boys at the House of Refuge made
break for liberty. They were from 10 to
10 years old, and were under four
leaders, the chief of whom was negro
boy. The boys marched in a body,
armed with baseball bats, to the front
entrance, where four guards were sta
toned, and demanded free passage, but
were driven back. Then they used the
bats and rocks, breaking in the windows
and doing other damage. They were so
noisy that their whooping and shouting
excited and alarmed the people in the
streets, and caused wildly exaggerated
rumors to spread, which made the police
send two atrolswagons, with fifteen
officers, to the scene. In less than three
fourths of an hour from the outbreak the
four ringleaders we're locked up in their
rooms, and everything was quiet. No
one was hurt. The ringleaders we're
participants in similar outbreak two

Double Filings Made on Lands

about Red Lodge, on the recently opened
Indian reservation, was thrown open
for settlement. Parties representing New
York, st. Louis, Chicago, San Francisco,
and Helena capitalists, were present, as
we'll as the Union Pacific and Northern
Pacific attorneys. The most extensive
and easiest mined coal lands in Montana
are located at this point and the result
is that the same land has been filed on as
agricultural and coal. To-day was the
busiest ever known in the history of the
Bczeman Land Office, the receipts from
filing being $4,000. 1t seems probable
that there will be contest over every

The Tribune assures US that "before
the first half of the first week of the Re-
publican city government has passed,
the party finds itself demoralized and di-
vided." This humiliating confession of
a staunch Republican organ is a sting
ing rebuke to the action of majority of
the people at the recent election. It is
an admission that the city is entering
upon a period of official incompetency and
mismanagement. At all events the split
in the Republican camp is evidently a
very serious one, and we may look for
all sorts of working at cross purposes,
resulting, inevitably in the end, to the
great detriment of the important public
interests 80 unwisely confded by the
