McDcrmott was willfully murdered by
some person or persons unknown"
From that time Bernard Lynch lived
IN constant dread Of discovery and an
ignominious death. Not the least part
OF his worry came from the fact that up

he had always been noted as q devont
Catholic. Now. no avoided his duties.
for he did not dare TO 60 TO Gods altar
with such a stain on his conscience.
After desperate battle with himself
he decided that his best course was To
make his confession to Father McDcr-
mott. his victims brother. and SO seal
his lips forever, no matter. what he
might some day suspect. Accordingly
as Easter drew near. he prepared him.
self. went TO his duties and after a full
and unreserved confession. received
dissolution for his sins.
What the feelings OF Father McDer-
mott were on learning the awful truth
about Mauricc's death must be left TO
the readers imagination. Maurice was
his only brother and he had loved him.
None had been more active than him
self In trying TO bring the murder 10
justice. and now his lips were sealedl
This secret belonged to the church.
Ten years passed away and the muir
der OF Maurice McDermott was almost
forgotten. Beautiful Kathleen Lynch
had devoted her life 10 the service OF
the poor. and as Sister Of Mercy had
brought relief and ease TO many a
suffering man and woman.
RQrpart lynch uac now t,ora lfla m
man OF 20 than OF 60. One day he was
walking slowly and painfully. with the
aid of a stick. when the priest. also on
foot. overlook him. Strangely enough.
II was the anniversary of Maurice's
death. Both men remembered IL. and
the priest with some return Of the old
feeling wished to pass on after SIM
pie salutation.

Lynch stood dazed for moment.
Then he reeled and fell with groan OF

Mr.. BLAINE, since the late election, is
certainly much more important factor
in the Republican party than he was
six months ago. He was taken into the
cabinet on sufferance, and be has been
little more than cipher in it until the
past few days. He has been out of
sympathy with the party on
nearly every great issue, and
has openly fought with his people,
on some of the most pronounced fea-
lures of their policy. His ideas were
sneered at and their author was snub-
bed for propounding them. He is now
master of the situation, and will rise in
influence in the party again until he be-
comes its most commanding figure once
more. Will he be the party's leader
and standard bearer in 1892? Hardly,
but possible.

most rosily for propositions that in
volved dead horse" and who never had
a word to say in favor of propositions in
which the British investor could have
made, in two or three years, from two to
twenty-five thousand per cent. During
the past week Mr.. Elliott sold on ac-
count of the Lawson estate-both the
proprietor of the London Evening Tele-
graph and Col. Gay are dead-seven
thousand acres of the original purchase
in Antelope valley to the Rock Creek
Irrigation company for $25 an acre, the
original purchase price being 81 an acre.
Probably few English investors would
look for larger return for capital in
vested for very short time than is in
volved in these figures. They mean
that on the surface of the globe there is
no such opportunity for the profitable
investment of money as exists to-
day in Los Angeles county.

AS IT LOOKS TO US.

There are few people who have lived
in Southern California for long time
who are not aware of the fact that rob-
berry and perjury are incidents of daily
life here in as full measure as led the
trainers of the Mosaic law to say to the
Israelites struggling toward Mt. Pisgah
and the Promised Land, ''Thou shalt
not steal" and, "Thou shalt not bear
false witness against thy neighbor." In
our local columns we give resume of
the Edelman warrant robberies. There
is no man in Los Angeles county,
who is cubit high in stature,
and who knows enough to 60 in out
of the rain, who does not know that the
county has been robbed, and robbed
shamelessly, in every detail Of these mat
ters which are now on trial. There has
been something indescribably infamous
in every detail of these swindling opera
tions against the county. Our accom-
plished fellow-citizen, the Hon. stephen
M. White, if he were district attorney,
would send every one of the forgers to
the penitentiary. Yet he will get up as
the attorney of these people and strain
every nerve to have them acquit-
ted, and judging by the past, he
will succeed. Why should these Edel-
mans be allowed to rob the community
Why should the Republican party be
permitted to escape the consequences OF
its great outrages on common honesty
and partisan responsibility And echo
will answer, "Why?" There is too
much of this disgusting travesty OF law,
and too much successful boodling, to
please the people OF Los Angeles county.
The results which follow upon such
scheme are not unexpected. An ar
raigned forger gets up in his place in a
felon's dock and, instead of hiding his
guilty head, and asking the mercy OF
his wronged fellow citizens, he turns
his tainted tongue against press which
has been all too merciful towards him ;
and is permitted, after arraigning his
betters, with no forgery uncanceled-a
forgery which must have been COM
mitted by somebody, and which was
probably committed by the fellow that
got the money-to walk into the light OF
heaven free man. Very likely
there was no forgery in the
Damron case. Very likely the
$4,000, which was drawn from the county
treasury by the Edelman forgeries,
ought to have been lost to the taxpayers
of Los Angeles county in any event.
But there are great many people who
will not think so; and who will think,
in addition, that with six superior courts
in full play in Los Angeles county there
ought to be little law, to say nothing
of justice.

THERE is no reason in the world why
square Democratic ticket should not
sweep the city of Los Angeles. Demo
Gratis always give that degree of reform

has boodler enemy. With either Hon.

MosT Angelefios will remember the
great energy used by Mr.. G. White
Mortimer, the British vice consul in Los
Angeles, in denouncing the investments
of EDglishmen in Antelope valley. Col.
j. Drew Gay and Mr.. Elliott had pur-
chased some $4,000 acres in that section
at 81 an acre, which was subsequently
reinforced by the purchase of $4,000
acres additional at the same price,
Some OF this land, subdivided, and un-
der plans of colonization when C.White
Mortimer raised his assinine bray in the
English press, was resold to English
colonists for 81 or SO an acre. pending
the London Telegraph's experiment of
making paper out of the yucca palm,
species of cactus that grows out on the
Mojave plains. While Mr.. Mortimer, for
a consideration, had much to say in
commentator of the Rose place, which
was then loaded down with the red
and white scale, he had nothing but
senseless vituperation to extend to the
intelligent plans OF the Messrs. Gay and
Elliott, who figured asa the representa-
