REASONS FOR SELECTING Mr.. MAN
VEL.
Special Dispatch to the Globe.Democrat

Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.
CHICAGO, Ill, August 31.-The ex-
PLANTATION has finally been given why
Kidder, Peabody & Co. preferred Mr..
Marvel to Mr.. Strong as president of the
Atchison. IT is known that Barring
Bros, Of London, were largely instru-
mental in floating Atchison bonds. They
had no difficulty in placing the bonds
with their friends, nor would they have
any difficulty in placing the bonds of
any institution, be it good or bad. The
reason is that Barring Bros. have never
yet placed the bonds of company or
firm which has not paid interest prompt
~. The Atchlson has never yet defaulted
in the interest on its bonds, but it has
not paid the interest with its earnings.
Barring Bros. have stood in the breach
and made good the deficiency, no matter
what the amount. This was q heavy
drag on the London firm Of bankers.
having almost or quite exhausted the
amount originally obtained for floating
the bonds. In this exigency they began
looking about for q Moses who would
lead the Atchison out of the wilderness.
A GOODNESS had already sprung up
between Kidder, Peabody Is Co.
and President Strong, ana as
this banking firm is prac-
tically the American representa-
tive of Barring Bros, the report on the
fitness OF President Strong was natural
ly lukewarm.
Manifestly President Strong was not
the Moses looked for, as all the failures
Of management and tinanciering We're
saddled upon him. Barring Bros. also
ioated a large block Of Manitoba bonds,
and in doing it were much impressed
with the fitness OF General Manager Man
vel. The impression President Hill was
not slow to foster. as he honestly believ-
ed Mr. Marvel was one of the most capa-
ole executive official in the railroad bust
ness. After many consultations with
kldder, Peabody & Co.. it was decided
to send representatives to Chicago, and
10 get an unprecedented opinion of Mr.
Marvels fitness. The investigation was
complete and created gossip at the time
none of which, however, credited Mr..
Marvel with chance for such a posi-
ton as president Of the Santa Fe.
President Strong resigned while this
investigation was gong on, probably be-
ing the only man VINO guessed its intent.
but his resignation wass not accepted.
As soon as the report was made. howev-
er, Barring Bros. concluded TO make the
change, and President Strong'S resigna-
ton was accepted.

WHERE THE FUN CONES IN.

The New York Tribune thinks that
there has been nothing funnier for a long
time in the press of these United States
than the efforts of the newspapers OF Mis-
souri, to get together in deciding which
town IN that commonwealth shall have the
Worlds Fair of 1892" That may look
funny in New York, but out here nothing
seems funnier than the frantic efforts of a
city of nearly two million inhabitants to
defeat the enterprise of few western
towns. Kansas City doesn't expect to get
the Worlds Fair and doesn't expect to try
for it. but IL Kansas City had New York, S
population, or if New York had little
western spirit, the question wonld De SET
tied in short order.-kansas City Star.
The Tribune seems to be laborin2 I'M
der an optical illusion, else it meant its
reference to ''the newspapers OF Missouri
getting together" on the subject men
toned as a piece of sarcasm, for there
has been nothing funnier Gf it were not
SO disgusting) than the efforts of the
newspapers OF that part of the state in
and contiguous to Kansas City in de-
Gliding that the Worlds Fair Of 1892
should not be held in that state at all,
but in another state, in a city
that has done more to handi-
cap and cripple the commercial
interests of the Missouri town than
everything else east it has had to con-
tend with. The Worlds Far will be
worth millions to the city and state in
which it shall be held, yet Kansas City
would willingly, cheerfully sacrifice this
great benefit to its state rather than see
rival city in the state secure it. We
may be permitted to remark that it is
just that spirit-the dog-in-the-manger
impulse-that has contributed most to
that city's present unhappy and precari-
Gus condition.
We are for home first and all the
time, but next to home we are for our
neighbors. especially when by helping
our neighbors we are helping ourselves.
To meet the full requirements and ex-
pectations Of the greatess number of our
people the Fair should be held as near
the center Of the country as practicable,
and st. Louis being that point, beside
possessing ali the other requisites neces-
sary 10 render the great exposition sue
cess. it would be unnatural for us not to
favor that place for the event. For a
Missourian to oppose st. Louis, or to
favor any other city, is fragrant crime
against common decency.

is Ca!vinism pure and simple, as taught

by himself.
Three hundred and fifty years have
passed since Calvin WAS the intellectual
lRminary of the Reformation. The light
Which his intellect threw on the great
theological question comes streaming
down to us through the centuries, lifting
religious thought from the mere domain
of emotion9up to a higher sphere of
reason and intellect, yet no one will
contend for the plenary inspiration of his
teachings, or that, surrounded as be was
by the mists of the Middle Ages, he was
able to crystalline all theological truth in
one system of doctrine.
Up to the beginning of this century,
Presbyterian ministers preached the
doctrine of Election, Predestination and
DEGREES, but during those days Presby-
terianism did not keep abreast with the
evangelizing spirit of the age. During
the last three-quarters of century, as a
general rule, ministers have ceased to
try to explain those knotty questions and
the lay members have been allowed to
adopt such an Interpretation as would
make them harmonic with the spirit Of
the gospel.
Let US be consistent, let US be true to
ourselves. If these doctrines are essen
tial to Presbyterianism they should re-
main in the Confession of Faith, and if
they are necessary part of our creed,
let our ministers preach them and teach
them to our people. For the sake of con-
sistency, either adapt our preaching to
our Confession of Faith or 80 modify
our confession as to make it harmonic
with our preaching 1.-THE Occident.

THE CITRUS FAIR.

Meeting OF she Committee That
Have 1t In Charge.
There was meeting yesterday morn
ing at the rooms Of the Chamber of Com
MERGE, of the Executive Committee of
the Southern California Citrus Fair.
The following were present: General ].
r. Briefly, Captain F. Edward Grey, of
Alhambra, Colonel J. E. McOomas, Of
Pomona, and F. A. Kimball, OF National
City.
Il was decided to devote all of the
81, 500, which is half of the appropriation
for this fair, to premiums ON citrus
articles. Other articles will be admitted
for exhibition, but no premiums will be
given.
A motion was passed asking the State
Board Of Agriculture to rescind its action
by which it was decided that all compe-
titions for premiums must be confined to
the limits of the district to which the
fair is devoted. This would render il
impossible for the northern citrus raisers
to enter their products at the southern
fair for competition and vice versa. The
members of the Executive Committee
were of the opinion that it would be
fairer for both sections if this restriction
was removed.
After discussing various other matters
the committee adjourned, to meet again
ct 10 9. m. on November 30ih, at which
time the Assistant superintendent, who
will have entire charge Of the fair, VIII

A Teana&ter Meets with q Severe
Accident.


Accident.
About 4 80 O'Clock yesterday after
noon, Pat Scanlon, tesmster employed
by W. T. Spilman, q contractor, was
brought to the Police Station for medical
treatment. He was nearly unconscious
from loss of blood, which flowed from q
wound on the top of his head. DIR. Nor
risen, the Police Surgeon, was called
upon to attend to his injuries, and upon
removing quantity of blood-saturated
cloths, it was found that Scsnlon's scalp
had been torn from his skull on the top
of the head. exposing the bone for sew
eral inches. He said that for some time
past he has been hauling sand, gravel
and dirt for Mr.. Spilman from Ninth
and Alvarado streets. At the place
where the work is being car
erected for the accommodation Of
the teamsters. This is sufficiently high
from the ground to admit of a team being
driven beneath them. at the entrance
to the chute large iron bar is used to
brace the woodwork. Scanlon, before
reaching the place, had been standing up
in the bed Of his wagon while driving,
and as he turned his mule team into the
chute the animals sprang forward. Be-
fore their driver had time to duck his
head he was struck by the iron bar, and
his scalp almost torn off his head. He
was carried to the camp near by, and an
effort was made to staunch the flow OF
blood, but finding that there was danger
of Scanlon's bleeding to death, he was
brought to town.

WHO WILL GET ITs
The Contest for the Los Angeles
Rnstnfffce.

POstOfftce.
There is big contest for the Los An
geles postoffice, to see who will get il
when the term of the efficient incum-
bent shall be over. There are several
aspirants for the place, among them be-
ing the predecessor of Mr.. Preuss, Col.
John w. Green. Green has strong back.
ing for the place, and some of his op.
ponents made great efforts to down him.
There was no use trying such game in
California, so it was carried up to Wash
ington, where Green is not personally
known. Mr.. Wanamaker's strong re-
ligious leanings were to be made use oil
in the effort. It is reported that three or
four rather disreputable characters were
put on to watch Green to catch
him in some moral lapse which would
knock him out with the Postmaster-G Gen
eral. These fellows are said to have
watched Green for weeks, and to have
used female of questionable character
to help them. Failing to trip John up,
these fellows took their diary, or rather
itinerary Of Green's doings to him and
sold it with the story of its composition
for couple of dollars apiece. This is
said to have been sent to Washington as
Exhibit l, to show the conspiracy work
ing against John.
The other day letter was received
here which seems to show that Green g
chances are not of the first order yet.
That letter is said to have come from one
U. S. G. Click, known here in days OF
yore as the spiritual adviser" OF the in
famous Auschlag, the Garden Grove
murderer. This CORY butcher was found
dead in his cell, poisoned with opium.
There was good 6eal of talk about how
the murderer got the poison. Click was
also the chum of one Cameron, who
nailed his empty trunk to the floor of his
room in the Ardmore, to make
believe it was loaded with stuff,
and then skipped, leaving no
end of people in the lurch. As the
letter runs y. Gilbert Dexter, the famous
Police Commissioner, and the mule poet
of East Los Angeles, is to be postmaster.
The letter was written to Geo. E. Place,
so well, 80 thoroughly we'll known here
and as surmises run, if Gilbert Dexter lie
to be postmaster, Place and Click are to
be in the Office. It is not said that Cam.
eron will come back to take place.
Surely it need be no wonder in this
community that Mr.. Preuss and his able,
polite and thoroughly trustworthy corps
of assistants are kept in Office if these
reports are all true. If the post
office were an elective one, and the
decision Of the case were left to the
people of this city it would be long day
before Dexter, Place, Click ct nj. would
be chosen to fill the place, with John W.
Green running against them. Johns
popularity would leave them all far in
the rear. Let us hope it will be long
time before the postoffice is put in the
hands of any one whom the people of the
city generally would not like to SEE
there.
