THE Prohibition party met yesterday
and selected an entire set of municipal
candidates. The ticket is headed by the
name of ]. R. Toberman for Mayor.
This is strong nomination. Mr.. Tober-
man is one of the most esteemed and
conspicuous gentlemen in our city. He
has lived here over score of years, and
has already been tried in the Mayoralty
of this city, and proven one of the very
best we ever had. The Citizens Reform
party essayed their old tactics with
the Prohibitionists yesterday, but
failed The latter yielded to the
Establishments OF the Long Haired
three months ago, and were de-
liberately handcuffed and marched into
the Republican fold. They want nc
more of that kind of sculduggery, and
have determined to stand on their own
bottom this time. II the Reformers are
sincere they will have to accept the ban
quet laid out for them by the Prohibi-
tionists. If they are not they will &c
back into the Republican ranks where
they belong.

SANTA MONICA exerts magical infu-
ence en- the minds of all beholders. Few
people of penetration and taste have ever
gazed on that charming spot and not felt
the irresistible spell of its beauty. 1t will
be remembered that when a committee
composed of very distinguished gentle
men visited this State to select site for
the Soldiers Home, and when they had
traversed almost the entire State, they
paid visit of one day to Santa Monica,
and at once pitched upon it as the most
eligible spot in all respects for their
institution. Yesterday Senator Hearst
paid brief visit to the little City by the
Sea, and returns simply loaded with en-
thusiasm over its matchless charms. He
pronounces Santa Monica the most de.
lightful spot his eye ever rested on. So
fascinated is he with the loveliness OF
this seaside resort of the sunlit semi
tropics that he has expressed himself to
the effect that he will not be content
until he is the possessor of little
farm by the sea at Santa Monica.
The Senator's ideas of farm are of
course very moderate. A thousand acres
is the little patch his mind covets. In
this emphatic prediction for Santa
Monica, as in many other bents of his
mind, our Senator proves himself man
Of exquisite taste.

The Carleton Season Drawing to Il
Close Here.
Carleton's artistic company produced
Strauss opera, The Queens Lace Hand
kerchief, for the second time this week at
the Grand last night. The light but
delicious music was charmingly rendered.
The strong choruses were particularly
effectively produced. The music binds
as with spell all who hear it, and the
Carleton Company is very Thoroughly up
up to all its requirements. Miss Lane
did not appear last night, her
place being taken by Miss Beaudet.
The three queenly and beautiful
women broke the hearts of all
the men Of taste in the audience. Miss
Wisdom, Miss Vincent and Miss Beaudet
are trio hard to parallel.
Senator Hearst and little company of
select friends occupied one of the pros
cenium boxes and enjoyed the opera to
the highest pitch. The distinguished
visitor was enthuastic in his plaudits of
the fine singing and good acting.
Tonight is devoted to Erminie with all
it's strains of sweet music, to the extrava-
CANT antics of the two mobsmen, the
heroesa of the opera. The costuming
of Erminie is even more resplendently
lovely than that of the Handkerchief
The setting, too, is charming.

BRER SAM JONES displayed the cloven
hoof yesterday by personally appearing
in the Prohibition Convention and max
ing a ood-Lord-good- Devil speech. He
advised the Prohibtionists not to make
nominations, but to wait till the Citizens
Reform party should meet and then
coalesce with them in putting up a ticket.
He styled the Reformers the God-and-
Morality party, and coolly told the Pro-
hibitionists that they could not win
alone, but that they might succeed with
the aid of the Reformers. The Prohi-
bitionists, however, have keen recollec-
ton of the way in which they were
treated at the last municipal election by
the stool-pigeon party, and told Sam
Jones to his nose that he was advising a

INDIANAPOLIS, February 7.-Amone
the politicians who are making up the
Cabinet slate, the name of Wanamaker
is now to be seen in the background
among the "might-have-beens." The
cause for this change is the utter inabil.
ity OF any one here to give anything like
a semi-authentic assurance that his
name was ever actually put forward for a
Cabinet place. OF the new names being
canvassed to-day, those Of Judge William
A. Wood, of Indiana, General James II
Wilson, Of Delaware, and John M.
Thurston, of Nebraska, are the most
prominent. Perhaps no name, however
unless it be Windom's, is growing in
public favor with greater rapidity than
that of Ex-Governor Foster, of Ohio.
Alabama had another delegation here
to-day in the persons of Colonel James
Jackson and Judge John A. Stevens, ol
Tuscumbia. They claimed that the
visit was of social nature, but it leaked
out that they were opposing Malone and
brought with them some testimonials
and petitions in favor Of Ex-Governor
William H. Smith, of Alabama, for
Attorney General. Chairman Houston.

we may be sure that his able ad-

urging liberal appropriations for SO neces-

metropolis of the Southwest may come
up in the Senate, and for these also

to the effect that California is not to

Death of Andrew JOuRhin Yes
terday.


The announcement of the death oi
Andrew Joughin, ST., will be
heard with deep grief in this COM
munity. Mr.. Joughin has been a resi-
dent OF this county for nearly thirty years
His career here has been marked with
strict integrity, truthfulness, and all
manly qualities. He was fast friend to
all who had claim on him, and he
probably made as few enemies as any
man in the community. Industrious and
sagacious in business, Mr.. Joughin
amassed large fortune during his sojourn
here. A year or so ago he had the
satisfaction of visiting the land of his
birth and his family and early friends.
He leaves a large family to mourn his
loss, and their grief will be shared by
many thousands of friends, who had
learned highly to esteem man of ster.

EDMUNDS ON PANAMA.
A Vigorous Opposition to His Res0.
luton ON the subject.


WASHINGTON, February 7.--Fdmunds'
Panama resolution, which was RECON-
mitted to the House Committee on For
eign Affairs, was taken up on a request
made by q mem Der that he be allowed to
present a minority resolution. 1t ap.
pears that the outspoken opposition to
the resolution. which was confined to
Russell, of Massachusetts, when the
resolution was first ordered favorably
reported, is growing more pronounced.
Norwood, of Georgia, prepared the mi
nority report above referred to, and
other members of the committee ...are
showing signs of chsnge. The committee
was obliged to adjourn this morning
without allowing an expression of opin-
ion therefore, it was not decided
whether the minority will be permitted
to file report.
A member of the committee said the
opposition to the resolution would be
quite vigorous. 1t would be based, in
his opinion, upon a wrong view of the
matter. The opponents of the resolu-
ton, as they had expressed themselves,
based their opposition upon two things
| First, that the Monroe doctrine was not
intended to apply to such enterprises as
the canal, and could not be fairly so con-
strued; second, that the resolution. in
effect. denounced an enterprise that
was already failing, and that such
an expression of sentiment would
tend to deter the investment Of
capital on the American continent Some
years ago the Government officers asked
France what she intended to do in regard
to the canal, and the French Minister to
the United States, under instructions.
gave the strongest possible assurances,
both oral and written, that the French
Government would never take an interest
in it, that it should always remain q
private enterprise. Now, however, with
! party in the French Chamber of Depu-
| ties openly declaring in favor OF the Gov
eminent assuming control of the canal,
this country ought to express itself. A
majority of the committee will still rec
ommend the passage OF the resolution.

One hundred and twenty-five teams
have been constantly busy within the
excavation, while laSge number have
been engaged in hadling material.
More than likely the men who have
Sauntered in, to stand on corner of the
foundation and observe how the work
is progressing. have sat and grumbled
at the slowness with which ''Our new
court house" is being built. However,
on seeing the immense proportions of
the undertaking they are quite ready to
assent with the commission; "If it's
done in FIVE years it's done quickly"
As far as planned the contracts have
been carried out, and more. These con-
tracts say that the sub-basement, or the
foundation, shall be completed by next
June. and that the working season fol-
lowing shall see the basement proper
completed. This will make one story
above the street level by a year from
now. The foundation was to be half
done by the time cold weather set in
this fall. 1t is now much more than
half done. and material is on hand for
its completion.

ways TO reach it. The four main piers
