VERY FUNNY.

Following is a copy of an interesting COM
munication received by gentleman Of this
city day or two ago. Of course the name
is withheld:
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. Il, 1889.
DEAR SIR-Please remit S25 on account Of City
Liberal committee. Money needed now !Le
election will be lost, or won, during registration
and that is now in progress yours 4G5 Irnl S,p
Secretary Finance Committee.
We like this. There is some style about
il. There is business in it. True, 1t is
somewhat dictatorial, and is suggestive Of
bossism: but that is all right Money is
needed; it is needed p. d. q, and the Hecessi-
ties are such that there is neither modesty
nor hesitancy in the matter of asking for
the cash, and for the exact amount re
CURED. The city assessor and collector
could not be more definite or exacting.
Then again we must admire the frank
ness which confesses that the election will
be won or lost during the registration
This admission explains why the registrars
all rank Liberals-are working so in
dustriously, early and late, 30 list the
names of Liberals, and are equally earnest
and energetic in their efforts to avoid en-
rolling members of the Peoples party. 1t
also explains why the courts are being ap-
pealed to to prevent the naturalization and
consequent registration of Peoples party
men. The Liberals are not going to make
their fight, as other partisans do, at the polls
where maierities triumph, but are doing
their fighting before the battle opens. They
want money to help them with their pc
culiar kind of campaigning; money to pay
for the ma 5uralization of Liberal aliens :;
money to ply lawyers for interfering with
the registration of Peoples voters; money
to pay the wages of miners and railroad
hands while they are coming to Salt Lake
and getting their names on the registration
list; money to maintain gangs of colonists
from outside counties and neighboring
states; money for all crooked schemes
known to crooked political manipulators.
The campaign is bringing out some very
funny things, among them this one of levy
ing assessments on Liberals and compelling
the poor fellows to pony up under pain
of certain dire penalties. Another anus
ing thing is the Liberal leaders yell about
Peoples colonizing operations, the Liberals
all the while maintaining an organized
colonization bureau, through which men
from distant places are provided with en-
ployment during the registration which sis
now in progress 4" New and funny things
are coming out every day.

THESE COLUMNS recently contained a
news item regarding Rev. G. HUDSON
SMITH, pastor of Pilgrim church, Dor
chester, Mass, whose mysterious disap-
pearance last spring, subsequent discovery
in San Francisco and return to his pastor
ate in the fall, formed so fruitful theme
for gossip and wonderment. He recently
again disappeared without giving any in
timation of his departure or leaving any
clue y which to trace him. Temporary
insanity. caused by overwork, is what
physicians give as the reason Of SMITHS
departure, insanity taking the form of a
desire to get as far away as possible from
the fancied trouble. 1t is well for him that
he does not belong to the majority of
Utah's people, or he would have been held
up as conspicuous example of the creed
to which he belongs, and the cry would
have gone up to Congress for an executive
commission and to the courts for disfran-
chisement; but as Mr.. SMITH is not Nor
mon, it is not matter of much conse-
Quence,

DEAR SIR-Please remit SIS on account Of City
Liberal committee. Money needed now. The
election will be lost or won, during registration
and that is now in progress. Yours truly,
Q. j. HOLLJSrER
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-07-23

A BETTER presentment was made OF
the right Of way question in the Council
yesterday than We have yet seen. If the
promises detailed in yesterdays session
are put into the shape of deeds before
the election for the bonds takes place,
the difficulty of having an outfall sewer
emptying into Balona Lake will be re-
sol we'd into the legal impediments which
will be thrown in its way by the people
of Santa Monica and Redondo Beach,
providing that the people vote the bonds.
If the designation Of partial route were
lsft out of the ordinance the chances oi
its re eceiving two-thirds vote would be
good. Everybody is in favor of an outfall
sewer; but some OF our veters, and, as the
HERALD believes, many Of them, want ii
on sensible business principles.

city could have gone on and perfected it's
internal sewer system, thus giving EN-.
ployment to thousands OF workmen. The
Express is probably aware that the sum-
mer is nearly over, and that the employ
ment which might have been and should
have been given to labor has been de-
feated by the preliminary bungling OF the
Council, and bids fair to be further de-
ferred by revolt of the taxpayers at an
impracticsble route and projected
waste of valuable substance that ought
to be made to yield a handsome
revenue to the city. A sensible
and public.spirited programme, with
the element of waste and Glance left out,
would have been adopted by the tax
payers. As the matter stands now the
opinion is rapidly crystalizing that the
required two.thirds vote will not be
forthcoming. Perhaps our contemporary
| will discover that we know more about
the Outfall Sewer proposition than even
it's wise and weighty self. If we are
ignorant, a remarkable percentage Of
the voters of Los Angeles seem to share
our benighted condition.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July % George
Averill, postmaster at Sweetwater, Car
bon county, and a notorious cattle
rancher, Kate Maxwell, were lynched
last night and their bodies left hanging
to a cottonwood tree. Their offense was
the stealing OF unbranded range cattle.
DENVER, Colo, July pa Cheyenne,
Wyo., special says: A telegram received
today announces the lynching at Sweet
water of Jim Averill and woman who
lived with him as his wife. Ayerill was
postmaster at Sweetwater, which con-
sists simply of station contiguous to
number OF ranches. Averill drifted into
the Sweetwater country four years ago,
and at once took up Government claim.
He was soon joined by woman who
took up a claim adjoining the town oi
Bertwell. Both were recognized as hard
citizens. The woman WAS one OF the
most daring riders in the country. She
rode, man-fashion, the most vicious
brutes with abandon, and in ropine

For long time both have been under
suspicion as cattle rustlers. They have
rapidly been accumulating herd, and
as they came to the county without any
thing, it was regarded as evidence
against them. This year they turneo
loose twenty. five newly-branded yearline
calves, which completely satisfied the
stockmen that they were mavericking
which particular act led to the lynching
From particulars received it is known
that small band of masked men sur
rounded the cabin last night, and usint
decoy, succeeded in getting both to th'
door. They were captured after des
perate struggle, and after being bound
led some distance away and togethe
strung up to the limb OF tree, ana ther
the bodies were riddled with bullets

place in the same section since las

Mexicans from the jail at Kelly, Socorro

which they riddled the bodies with bull

three cattle and horse thieves, members
of notorious band of Mexicans who
have committed many depredations in

Lowens and posse, and imprisoned in
a vacant house near Kelly, N. M. Be-
fore the capture, the thieves, three in
number, engaged the posse in battle,
during which their leader and Deputy

where the remaining two thieves were
imprisoned, overpowered the guard and
hanged the prisoners after riddling their

Mrs. MACKAy, wife of the California
millionaire, has done a very foolish
thing in bringing suits for $4,000 each
against the Manchester Examiner and
the London Echo for saying that her
mother was washerwomsn. The lady,
if she persist in her suits, will be con-
fronted with some very awkward PROB
lems. First, she will have to show there
is an element of disgrace in the vocation
of washerwoman before she can lay the
basis for libel. This, of course, she can
not do. Next she will have to show that
her mother was not washer
woman, which, in the sense that hel
mother did not wash clothes for livinl
she probably can. Mrs. Hupgerford. the
mother of Mrs Mscksy, was noble
pioneer lady; and it goes without sayins
that she did her own washing, as al
other pioneer women did in the days
when "help" was an unknown quantity
in the mines of California. II, however
she also washed for the "boys," as many
equally good women did in those days
her justification would be in the fact tha
the fellows that then wore ''biled" shirti
paid half an ounce a dozen when thel
went through the suds. A '49 washer
woman was a society queen in ever,
camp, and Mrs. Mackay would far
poorly with her suit before a jury OF old
timers

PACIFIC COAST.
Testimony in the Blythe
Case Continued.
A SCENE CREATED IN COURT.
Mrs. Ashcroft Breaks Down on the
Witness Stand-The Coast
in General.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.


SAN Francisco, July 22.-When the
trial of the Blythe case was resumed to-
day counsel for Florence Blythe notified
the Court that additional testimony had
been procured which might make some
change in the case. He claimed that a
copy of the will of Thomas II. Blythe
had been found in Los Angeles. Uoun-
sel for the opposition insisted that the
present proceedings be continued and
claimed that no will had been found.
The taking of testimony was accordingly
resumed. 1t was not announced when
the alleged will will be produced.
After Attorney Highton had finished
cross.examiniDg Mrs. Ashcroft, his col
league, Attorney Bulkley, asked witness
number of questions relating to hei
husbands treatment of her. She again
testified that she had written letter de-
manding money from Blythe under com
pulsion, her husband threatening to beat
her severely if she did not write it. A
scene was created by the attorney hand
ing her cartoon drawn by some person in
the courtroom for private amusement
representing a man brandishing clut
over the head of a woman who sat at 6
table tearfully penning letter. Bulk
Iley's inquiry if her husbands attitude a
the time was like that represented in the
drawing, caused witness to burst into
tears. She was finally compelled t. leave
the room. Her counsel entered an in
dignant protest and demanded the paper
which the other side refused to give III
until obliged to do so by Judge Coffey.
| When witness returned, Bulkley con
tinued his Cross-exsmination, his ques
tions evincing bis desire to show tina
witness had on diffef ent occasions intro
duced and represented Florence as tn,
child of other persons than Blythe. Bulk
lev then produced document purport
ing to be an attested copy of the birth
of the district OF London, in which ap
peared the name of Florence Blythe
with the name of Julia Blythe as tn
mother, but with the space for tn
fathers name left blank.
Mrs. Ashcroft said emphatically tha
she had given the name of Thomas Henr,
Blythe to the man in charge of the regis
ter, but that he had evidently neglecte
TO put it down. In reply to some clos
Questioning witness denied that sh
knew Ashcroft or David Davis, who wa
present at their wedding, before 1876.
A copy of the marriage certificate Wa
produced, in which the residence of tn
witness did not appear as the place sh
had testified when testifying to the MAJ
riage. Her counsel, however, interpose
an objection, and the copy of the maj
riage certificate was temporarily with
drawn. The case then went over unit
ltomorroW.

THE Democratic party will accept
nothing less than an equal division OF the
representation re OF the Board of Police
Commissioners. 1t is rot and subterfuge
for the Council to intimate that there
are other political parties than the Demo-
cratic and the Republican. Practically
the people are divided into these two
organizations. The Council has given
this Interpretation to the non-partisan
mandate of the charter by appointing two
Republicans to the board. Now let us
have an honest division or offset of the
power by the appointment of two Demo
Gratis. No make-shift business will
satisfy the fair-minded people of both
paities. That which is "devilish sly
imposes on nobody. Ii the Council re-
fuse to appoint two recognized Demo
Gratis, the people will know how to read
their action between the lines. "What-
ever you do, Maria" says Sairy Camp,
"drink fair" Whatever you do in this
matter, gentlemen of the Council, make
a square division of the Board of Police
Commissioners.

WATERMAN LEFT.
The Governor Loses the suit
Against His Brothers Estate.

CHICAGO, July 22.-Cbief Justice Full
ler has dismissed the suit of Robert A.
Waterman, Governor of California,
against P. NJ. Alden, executor of his
brother, James s. Waterman, for want
OF equity. James S. Waterman was a
wealthy lumber dealer at Sycamore, ILL.,,
and died in 1888 Governor Waterman
and his partner, one Porter were indebted
to him $4,000, as q firm, and after
his death they paid the Indebtedness
to the executor, P. NJ. Allen. They sub.
sequently discovered clause in the will
of James S. Waterman. which was exc
cuted eleven years before, in which he
expressly released all of the indebted.
ness of his brothers, including that of the
California Governor, to him. Then Gov
ernor Waterman filed bill against Ex'
ecutor Allen to recover the SIC, 900 which
he had paid to him in ignorance OF the
release clause in the will. Chief Justice
Fuller decided, after hearing all the evi.
dence and CAREFUL perusing the will. that
the release provision applied only to
the personal obligations of the deceased's
brothers, and not to firm indebtedness
He decided that the Governor was moi
entitled to recover and dismissed his
bill,
