The Church Fair.

These who had charge of the Uni.
tartan Church Fair at Armory Hall did
we'll to prolong it for another night, for
there was as big an attendance as on the
preceding night, and the financial results
were equally fattering. More "Pick-
wick" was given, and the additional at
traction of grand character march was
a happy idea, for its execution met
deservedly, with very f1atteriDg recep-
ton. The reading.of "The Raven" with
musical accompaniment, by Professor
Eastman, made the hit of the evening,
that gentleman being at his best, and re-
citing the well known lines in most ex-
cellent style. The fair has been undoubt-
edly success from first TO last, and we'll
filled Golfers are doubtless the result of
the enterprise which conceived it.

The Union says editorially: The news
from the Lower California gold fields
continues in the same hopeful strain.
The crowd is rushing in and no one
comes out, save on urgent business.
Those who do come out simply confirm
the reports of fabulously rich placers and
qGariz leads, transact their business and
rush back. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the reports sent out have not
overstated the richness of these fields,
but rather that the half has not been
told.
The exodus of miners yesterday was
much larger than on previous days, and
considerable larger than NEST people be-
lieve. A conservative estimate Of the
number who left the city yesterday
would be placed at over 600. Fifth street
was we'll lined with teams, most Of them
prepared for the mines. People We're
hurrying about looking up supplies and
bidding goodbye to their friends.
Tom Fitch is going too. He already
has ten men in the field.
TROUBLE AHEAD FOR THE MINERS.
CRY OF MEXICO, March 5.-The Inter.
national Company of Mexico is negotlat-
ing fer the control of the mining districts
of Lower California. They offer $780,
900 for concession which will enable
them to close the Santa Clara region to
American miners. Judge Sepulveda,
who is in this city, declares that such a
concession would be unconstitutional.
The Government officials decline to talk.
From the San Diegan.
Mr.. Van Camp says: ''I was one OF
the first to get there, and went all
through the mine. l don't think | ever
saw anything richer. With the future
these mines have before them, they are
beyond doubt the richest ever discovered

That is what the Caucus Developed
Last Night.
The new members of the Council, all
Republicans, with Mayor-elect Hazard,
met in the office of tho last name d
gentleman last night. The confah began
at 7 80 o'clock, and remained in session
until 10 80. The result of three long
hours OF labor was the election Of Cap
tain Frankenfeld to be President Of the
Council.
The matter of Chief of Police came up,
and the names of host of aspirants for
Police Commissioners were discussed.
Hon. J. G. Estudillo, Charles Prayer,
Captain George G. Knox, exMayor
Workman, DR.. Sinsabaugh, Major Fur
rey, r. J. Northam and others passed in
review, but no action was taken. J. F.
Burns, who was supposed to have the
inside track for Chief of Police, has
struck snag. He is clever worker
and has host of friends, but the oppo-
sition developed will be hard to over
come. The one weak point on the side
of the opposition is that it has no equally
good name to propose. 1t is fighting for
a negation.
L. N. Breed, Hervey Lindley and
Eugene Germain are also on the list.

The Heating of Cars.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The first SUBJ

State Railroad Commissioners confer

At the conclusion OF the debate a resolu-
ton was adopted declaring that still
further advance toward uniform CLASH
fication Of freight would promote the
welfare and convenience of shippers and
of railroad companies, and commencing
conservative, but persistent, effort to
that end. The whole subject of uni
fomity in railway legislation was referred
to committee with instructions to re-
port at a later session. On motion of
Crocker, resolution was adopted urging
the Interstate Commerce Commission
earnestly to consider what can be done
to prevent the present great loss of life
and limb in coupling and uncoupling
freight cars, and further, in what way
the growth of the system of heating pas
senger cars from the locomotive or other
similar source can be promoted, to the

All the Congressman from California, as
we'll as our two Senators, promised in
letters to give their party cooperation in
this and any other measure tor the BEN

assistance was desired by General Van

THE Hon. William Windom's appoint
ment as Secretary of the Treasury shows
the overshadowing influence of Mr..
Blaine with President Harrison. The
ex-Minnesotan was lugged into Gar
fields Cabinet by the Plumed Knight.
The pleasing fiction that Window is a
Western man will scarcely do to tell to
others than marines. The same papers
which credit him to Minnesota state that
for two years past he has been resi-
dent of New York, figuring as lawyer
and business man. He was, at least un-
til recently, largely interested in the
affairs of the Delaware and Lackawanna
Railway Company and, just before his
appointment to President Harrison's
Cabinet, he resigned the Presidency of q
corporation whose headquarters are in
Wall street. He had deck room with
the Cysicle Railway Company, and is
said to have been connected with the
celebrated Topolobampo scheme which
ended 30 disastrously in Sonora some
years ago. If Mr.. Window shall prove
to have Western ideas On silver and
other leading financial topics we shall
rejoice, but we confess we doubt.

The REGISTER heartily agrees with
the Ft. Scott Monitor that all this va.
porizing about corruption and rebel
lion, without Q single specific charge
to sustain the one or justify the other,
is becoming exceedingly wearisome.
If men in high places are betraying
their trusts or If they are by their
personal conduct disgracing their par.
ty, the people want to know It and are
ready to listen to proof of it. But
If these charges cannot be specif-
ically made or the proof presented,
then keep still. The people do not
care to hear befouling insinuations un.
supported by any evidence of wrong
doing, against men whom they have
honored because they believed them
worthy of honor. They do not rejoice
to see the reputation of their public
servants besmirched by irresponsible
inuuendo. And furthermore they
will not be deceived by such cackling
for they will recognize it for what it is
Ian effort on the part Of . few small
souls to achieve by vile assault upon
men Of prominence, a notoriety which
no worth or talent of their own would
ever bring them.
