links in this system, the Atlantic and
Pacific, is taxed to it's capacity to do the
business crowded upon it and cannot
spare cars to haul our coal. It is as
much as can be done on that line to
prevent blockade. They say it is
hard work for them to haul coal for use
on the road. They cannot haul the
empty cars back to the mines.
Three years ago there was a similar
state of affairs here, and coal went up to
$25 ton in car load lots. Winter is at
hand, and such prices would be very
great hardship to poor people. 1t may
be worse this time. There has been
general lockout in the Australian col
lieries for year past. The mines in Or
egon and Washington are putting out all
they can. In British Columbia the
largest mine has been locked out all
summer by strike. Then again, there
is a shortage of tonnage on the coast,
and good many coal ships have been
diverted to the grain or lumber trade.
Three years ago the Santa Fe road
came calamity into the breach and help
ed out in fine style. Unless something
is done soon there is likely to be a coal
famine here that will be severely felt bv
the poor. 1t is estimated that Southern
California uses 300 cars of coal a month.
This is train of twenty cars every 9TH
er day in the month. Can the Santa Fe
give this section relief?

yhen the motion to adjourn was voted

when the motion to adjourn was voted
down.
The roll was then called on the second
ballot, after several vigorous kicks had
been registered against what was
termed the "Murphey system" ofballot-
ing.
At 1856 O'Clock the result of the
second ballot was announced as fol-
lows: G. M. Holton, 10S; M. T. Allen,
IA B. N. Smith, 81; w. s. Wright,
49,; w. A. Cheney, 81, Alex. Camp
bell, l.;
The total vote cast being 800, the
number of votes necessary to choice
was 155: and none of the six candi-
dates having obtained this number, the
chairman announced to the convention
that another ballot would be necessary.
An indescribable scene OF confusion
followed, as one faction was anxious to
proceed with the third ballot and
another was equally determined to adj
journ. Finally, on motion of R. H. F.
Variel, the convention adjourned at 10
O'Clock until O'Clock this morning.
Great dissatisfaction was expressed by
large number of the delegates at the
slow rate of progress made by the con-
vention in the face of the large amount
of business before it to be transacted,
and it is believed that even Murphey's
followers will be inclined to move for a
reconsideration of his ballot system to-
day.

OBSTRUCTION.
Blind Men Who Cannot See Their Own
interests,

The Rapid Transit is experiencing
great difficulty in gathering rights Of
way into Pasadena. Between the Ray
mond and the center of the city where
the line proposes to pass. is an adobe
fiat useless for residence purposes, use
less for general business, and not wo, tn
$40 an acre for farming. Most of the
people who own property in this flat see
that the only hope of giving it any
value is to get railroad through it,
which will make it a good place for
manufactures, lumber yards and such
like business. They therefore gladly
grant the right of way. But here and
there some obfusticated pated fellow
who is always on the cinch thinks he
sees an opportunity to sell a strip off
his lots for more than the whole lot is
worth, and at the same time make what
is left more valuable thanyit all was be-
fore. This sort of fellow will not let the
road 60 through without tedious con-
demnation suit. 1t would be good
thing if sensible people there would get
up an Indignation meeting and let these
obstructionists know what is thought of
them.

j. A. Muir, one of the promoters of
the Electric Belt railway, met a HERALD
reporter yesterday and showed him a let
ter from F. V. Mcdonald, OF the Pacific
bank, San Francisco, and a son of DR.. r.
II. Mcdonald, the millionaire. The let
ter expressed great qualification at the
prospect OF getting the franchise for the
road and urged Mr.. Muir to do all in his
power to get the matter finally settled.
He says material of all sorts is going up
in price and it is expedient to get the
supplies secured as soon as possible.
That looks like business.
In reference to any connection of the
proposed line with the Pico street line,
Mr.. Muir said, with the utmost empha-
sis, that there was no connection, and
that there was none intended. He said,
"As to Mcfarland, he knew absolutely
nothing about our affair until about the
moment we were about to ask for our
franchise. He has no connection with
our concern"
Captain Barrett, who was'present, said
that as to the poles the company would
put up as few as possible and these of the
least Objectionable make. He stated
that it was the intention of his company
to try and make arrangements with the
telephone, telegraph and electric light
companies to use the poles conformity if
such matter could be agreed upon.
Captain Barrett said: eff the franchise
is granted us 1 will go by next train to
San Francisco, and in thirty days we
will be at work in earnest. There are
millions of money behind our scheme.
We will spend from $1,5OO,OOO to 3d.

A TREAT IN LECTURES.
Prof. ]. c. Fletcher Will Lecture For
a Good Cause,

The ladies of DIR. Chichester's Presby-
terrain Emmanuel church have pledged
themselves to raise $4,000 toward fur
nishing the interior of their new and
beautiful church with pews. carpets,
cushions, ETC., and they are now devils
ing the ways and means to raise the
money. OF course they will have to de-
pend largely on the public to help them
out, as none of them are overburdened
with this worlds gear. For number
OF weeks they have met regularly and
worked hard on fancy and useful arti-
cles, such as table linen, embroidery,
ETC., which they propose to dispose of at
a fair to be held soon. Quite a nice
little sum was raised at the lawn festival
given at the residence of Col. Walter s.
Moore some weeks ago, and there have
been few liberal private donations!
But there is still great deal OF money
to raise in order to make up the sum
pledged. Rev. j. G. Fletcher, who has
spent twenty years in the Mediterranean
countries, has volunteered to deliver
course of two lectures in aid of the fund
on subjects relating to the scenes of his
travels, and they will be given at the
Hanna Los Angeles college, Eighth and
Hope streets, next Monday night and
the succeeding Monday evening. Mr..
Fletcher is one of the most eloquent,
instructive and interesting lecturers in
the country, and will doubtlessly draw
large audiences. The new Emmanuel
church will be beautiful architectural
.adornment to our city, and is deserving
Of all the aid which the public can give
it. The ladies have undertaken quite
big contract, but with the liberal assist
ance Of the public, which they are we'll
entitled to, they will be enabled to keep
their word.

LAND OWNERS PAY THEM.
The County Saves Money By the
Transaction Referred to.

EDITORS HERALD-The board Of super
visors saved the county money in ac-
cepting the offer of the landowners in
the Azusa and Duarte districts to fur
nish attorneys and pay all costs in the
litigation growing out of the Wright
act question. Messrs. Silent, Houghton
& Campbell are employed by private
individuals. This is the fourth attempt
to force the Wright Irrigation bill on a
section where there are now irrigating
systems, and where the owners of four
fifths of the land are opposed to it. 1t
has twice been submitted to general
elections and twice been defeated. You
will do but justice to the board of super
visors to give this place in your col
umns. Yours truly,

THE Governors Organ attempted to
construe our remarks against John A.
Riner. the paid railroad attorney, as be-
ing directed against the railroad company
itself and thereupon proceeds to read us
a lecture. Respecting the Just rights OF
the railroad company and asking the peo-
pie to send a paii attorney of the same
corporation to the legislature are two en-
tirely different propositions. When
Riner was in the council in 1888, and
president Of that body, he never for one
moment considered that the people had
auy rights whatever, where the railroad
company was concerned 1t is this fact
that is remembered against Rincr and we
do not wonder that the Sun feels it me-
cessary to bolster up that gentleman'a
candidacy with frequent and copious
doses of editorial taffy. Two years ago
he ran for a collection to the council. His
reelection would have meant a vindica.

people in the past, but is TO be measured
by his present desire for place, coupled
with his promises for the future. Past
faithfulness to the public trust, it seems
to us, is the gauge by which a candidate
for office is to be measured. If he has
been fsithless to the people in the past,
if he has been rue only to his own in
terests, if he has subordinated private
greed to the public good, if he has 4.
variably taken the kernel and in
variably given the people the shell,
II he has disguised his greed, his selfish
ness, his disregard of all the exterior
proprieties OF public life, and puts for
ward to the world his Sleeps clothing
which conceals the wolf inside of it-then
it is not only a right but a duty or Ievery
honest man and every honest newspaper
to give vent to the facts and proclaim
these traitors to the people from the
house tops.
This is genuine journalism as distinct
from Republican journalism of 4 certain
sort which iourishes with glee the pro-
ducts of the cess pool into which it has
delyed.

TIE Rock Springs Independent, a Re-
publican newspaper, in closing its account
of the Baxter Carey joint debate, says:
There was no indulging in personal
abuse or md singing on either side, and
Mr.. Baxter held his own much better
than people were led to expect. Though
not as efficient a speaker as Judge Carey
MIR. Baxter was able to present his side of
the case in a very creditable way, and we
don't think the Democrats have any rea-
son to be ashamed of his effort here. As
to which got the best of the argument
ones previous political predictions will
color ones judgment. Most of the Demo
Gratis will believe Baxter got away with
his adversary. while the Republicans will
be equally convinced that victory perched
on Judge Carey's banner"
Coming from a Republican source this
is a high compliment to the ability with
which Mr.. Baxter met his opponent.

HON A. n REEL

The Suns information regarding the
withdrawal of A. II. Reel from the Dem

SU. .
We can't imagine. why. II the Sun
will cast its eagle eye through the Demo
cratic ticket published in this paper it
will see there the name of Alexander Fl.
Reel, one Of the Democrats nominees for
the legislature. 1t is true that Mr.. Reel
was not a candidate for any Office; 1t is
true he vas nominated in his absence
from the city and it is also true that he
was unable TO communicate with his
friends or the central committed before
his arrival In this city from his ranch on
last Saturday. Nj. Reel has been a stall
wart representative Of his party in this
city and territory for the past quarter Of
a century. He goes into this campaign
with his coat off and no legitimate effort
will be wanting on his part to elect the en-
tire Democratic ticket, state, Legislative
and county.
His great legislative experience in the
past qualities him now for the onerous
duties of the first state legislature. Like
all large taxpayers he is interested in the
present o~vershadowing question of econ
omy. 1t is unnecessary to say that Mr..
Reel will make an able legislator, and we
believe the people of Laramie county will
see to it that he is elected.
During the campaign Mr.. Reel will be
found where the battle is the thickest,
fighting for his lifelong principles Of
Democracy.

Der of the Colorado Legislature, and worst
of all of that Legislature which wound up
its career of extravaganza and population
by the members carrying off tie desks in
the legislative halls belonging to the state.
Gen. Thomson called on Mr.. Davidson
Yesterday and said he did not desire to
do him any injustice and wished to
know if he had resigned his seat in the

No, ! have not. My time by law will
expire in December, but having left the
state l am construed no longer to be a
member" This rule was not observed in
the case of Morrison.
