THE RATS TAXING FLIGHT.

A few days ago Senator ingalls, home
paper, the Atchison Champion, under
went a complete political change from
a y~irulent protectiOnist organ to an
ultra tariff reform advocate. II has
placed itself ~squarely Oh the democrat
ic platform in this respect and is not
content with denunciations of the Me-
Kmley bill, but loses no opportunity to
denounce the hypocrisy and demagogy
of Senator Ingalls,, and boldly opposes
his return to the senate-condnct that
only a few years ago would have been
characterized as heresy of the worst
kind.
But the Champion is not alone of in
fluential republican organs that are
turning from the political faith of the
past and falling in with the onward
step of the democratic hosts. The st.
Louis Globe Democrat is the latest
republican organ to interpret the signs
OF the times and to take shelter I'm the
democratic household. In the Issue of
last Monday ii chopped Topped radi-
cally and Enthusiastically. The Globe
Democrat, though not the first TO
abandon the robber tariff, is early
enough to arrogate something of lead
ership in what il is pleased 10 call ''the
republican revolt" against the Mckin-
Icy bill. In assuming this leadership
the Globe Democrat mnst neces sarily
renounce the fundamental doctrine of
the republican party and Its own argn-
ments launched every day since the
foundation of the paper.
However. the sudden conversion OF
the G. ID. may not be taken as a con-
viction of error and IN honest impulse
10 undo the mischief of the past, but is
rather inspired by fear of the downfall
OF the republican party. Nevertheless
its conduct demonstrates the popularity
of the democratic platform, and the
~rottenness of the chief plank in the rep
lican structure. To abandon protec-
ton is to abandon republicanism, for
the terms are convertible. The Globe
Democrat and the AtchisOn Champion
and Senator Plumb cannot denounce
the Mckinley bill without %denouncing
the republican party and, logically, in
dorsing all that the democratic party
has been %contending for since the in
ception of the protection dogma. The
Mckinley bill will probably be shorn
of some of its most obnoxious features,
but the credit will be due TO the in
domitable fight made by the democracy
and TO it's education OF the people. The
Champion, the Globe-D Democrat and
Senator Plumb are merely ahead of the
leaders OF their party In that they have
shown the sagacity of the rat, and
know when the ship is sinking.

THE BLACKMAIL CASE.
Trying to Get General Boyce Out of the
Laws Strong Arms.

Judge Shaw was occupied all day yes
terday in trying Gen. H. H. Boyce, once,
if not still, the leading spirit in the
Tribune newspaper, who is charged with
extorting money from Justice Savage to
suppress ''story."
After o. A. Stevens. ex-city editor
had told all he knew of the affair, Harry
Johnston, constable for Savage, was put
on to corroborate what Stevens had said.
Savage, the prosecuting witness, fol-
lowed with his full narration of the lit
tie deal. The testimony has all been
published so often that the public know
the story by heart.
After the prosecution had rested Gem
eral Fitzgerald, counsel for the defense,
moved that the case be dismissed on the
plea that his client had been once in
jeopardy. This phase of the case was
fully reviewed in the HERALD yesterday.
During the argument on this point, the
jury was removed from the court room.
At the end of the discussion the motion
was denied and the jury recalled. Judge
Fitzgerald then offered part of the testi-
mony taken in the previous trial to
show that General Boyce was entitled to
an acquittal at the hands of this jury,
on the once in jeopardy plea. Objection
was made to the admission of any
part of the testimony taken in
the other trial for any purpose
unless it was all let in. This objection
was sustained. Fitzgerald then offered
it all for the same purpose, but this was
objected to, and after argument the OBJ
lection was sustained. An offer was
then made to put on the twelve jurors
who tried the case before for the same
purpose, and this offer was objected to,
argued and the objection sustained.
During the discussion on this point the
court stated with some emphasis and
much directness that "as point of law
there was nothing in the plea that Gen
eral Boyce had been once in jeopardy
At another point in the discussion
Mr.. Fitzgerald said that if the
record OF the former trial were
inadmissable, and if the Jurors in
that trial could not be asked to tell
what was done in the jury-room, he did
not see how he could get any testimony
on the once in jeopardy proposition be-
fore the new jury. The court retorted,
"Nor do l see how you can"
Fitzgerald thought all the statute re-
lating to once in jeopardy, ought to be
taken out of the books.
The court seemed to think that he had
not jurisdiction reaching SO far, and SC
the order was, "On with the dance"
To this end General Boyce took the
stand and told his version of the affair
in the main as before. He said it was a
business transaction, and that Savage
was to buy stock in the Bone" So
the matter stands now.

THE UNION DEPOT.
A North End Property Owner on the
Subject-Objections to the Plans.

Subject-Objections to the Plans.
To the Property O,0ners Of North Los
Angeles.
A proposition is before you to take
stock in a union depot project, said
depot to be located at the corner Of Ala
media and Macy streets. AS property
owner in the district supposed to be
benefited, l have refused to subscribe,
for the following reasons.
First. Because passenger depots are
not of the least benefit to the business
property surrounding them. There is
a small saloon, peanut and soda water
trade, but this is offset by the MANY
Objectionable features about them.
Second. The vicinity of the Santa Fe
and Southern Pacific depots in this city
is one Of the least prosperous parts of
town. Fully one-tenth Of the stores and
houses are vacant near them,
Third. Property near the great rail
road depots in the eastern cities, is not
considered desirable either for business
or residence purposes. The depots are
mucn of the same nature as nuisance.
Fourth. A network of railroads over
our beautiful part of town will retard it's
progress for years. Travellers and teams
will be shut off from North Main street
on both sides and East Los Angeles will
be isolated unless expensive viaducts
are constructed.
Fifth. Unless double the amount
proposed is subscribed, the original
subscribers will be assessed until all but
the chosen few are frozen out.
Sixth. The present scheme appears
to be for the personal benefit of few
men, and small railroads. AS they will
be the only ones benefited, and the rest
OF us damaged, they should bear the
expense. HONESTY.

TOM HOOPER.
He Never Had Any Hand in Killing
Clayton.

The sensational story that traced the
killing of John M. Clayton, of Arkansas,
to Los Angeles graveyard must follow
the lead of it's intended victim and go
off and be buried. The story was that
Tom Hooper, rancher at Ranchito,
killed Clayton in revenge for the lynch
ing of Hooper's father, a generation ago,
by another Clayton than the one killed
in January, 1889.
Tom Hooper came to Los Angeles
county in 1870 and purchased
forty acres of land at Ranchito.
He was never out of the
county in his life after that. He lived
there with his wife and family all the
time, excepting short period when he
was in Los Angeles for medical treat
ment. 1t would be the simplest thing
in the world to establish these facts be-
yond controversy, were it desirable. All
that need be done is to show that he was
here in January, 1889, to prove that he
did not kill Clayton. Here are the proofs
that he was here all of the month in
question. When he came to Los An
geles for medical treatment he leased
his ranch to Ramon Angelo. In the
early part of December, 1888, he went
back to take up his abode at the ranch.
Angelo was not ready to move off until
the end of his term, the last day Of the
year. Hooper went up to Santa Fe
Springs and stayed there with his friends
until New Years day, 1889. On that
day he moved back into his own house,
and stayed there almost all the time
until he died. He was sick nearly all
the time up to his death, in December,
1889. He was seen there by dozens of
people. All the people about
the Ranchito and Los Nietos
laugh at the story of his being away
from there, and say that Lewis, the per
ipatetic book agent who started the
story, is bigger liar than Belial, Ana
Mas, Sapphira and Tom Ochiltree all
rolled into one, with the Cardiff giant
fellow thrown in. +. H. Boyd, Angelo
and his wife vouch for the fact in person,
and dozen people, who saw Hooper
from week to week during the entire
year prior to his death, will make affida-
Wit that he never left the county from
December, 1888, to December, 1889,
when he died.

Increasing Demand.

A month or so ago new enterprise
was started at Buena Park named the

ready been created for the home

health, reports that he has examined

ASTHMA

1t is common error to suppose every dis
ease which is attended by. oppressed breath
ing to be Asthma or Phthisic. We have short
ness OF breath in Consumption and Pneumonia
just as we do in Asthma, only that in these
diseases IT is always present, whereas in Asthma
Asthma is a spasmodic disease of the lungs,
which manifests itself in periodic attacks,or
with great difficulty Of breathing while it lasts;
but when the attack is over the patient breathes
almost as well as in health.
Nervous, Humid and Dry Asthma are names
given to different forms of this disease. EN-
physema is another and more inveterate kind
of Asthma While Hay Fever or Rose Cold is
certain season OF the year. Each of these
forms OF disease differs somewhat from the
tinctions are of very little value 1t does not
matter to the patient which form of Asthma
he has, since his sutferings are the same in
yellow, and we call it bronchial. In another
it is light, and we call it dry When he coughs
up clear water, with white froth on the sur
face, we say he has Humoral Asthma In
Nervous Asthma there is very little expector-
alton of any kind. Hay Fever always begins
as crying cold in the head or influenza, and
clear water runs from the nose and the eyes
before the Asthma fit comes on. In Emphysema
the expectoration is generally thick and con-
tinues so in the interval between the fits,
while the shortness of breath is increased on
the slightest exertion.
Without courage and perseverance nothing
is durable. But with these, aided by proper
and sl1illful treatment Asthma can be cured
even after the lungs are extensively diseased.
Persons desiring treatment by this system of
practice can use the remedies at home as well
as at our office, and which will cause no incon-
venience or hindrance from business whatever.
Every case of Asthma is curable Eastern
visitors and invalids will be wise in being
cured before they return home.
Those who desire to consult with me in regard
to their cases had better call at the office for an
examination but if impossible to visit the office
personally can write for list of questions and
circular, both of which will be sent free of
charge. Address

A Wonderful Baboon

Jack the Baboon, SO well known to
all who have ever had occasion to
pass through the Uitenhage (Cape
Colony Railway station, has, says
a writer in the Colonies and India.
gone to that bourne from which no
balloon ever returns, much to the
regret of the country side. Jack was
one of the most intelligent specimens
OF the ape tribe ever captured, and
he was regarded as quite a regular
railway employe at Uitenhage He
took his turn at working the signals
and showing trolleys about.
when required to do 50, he would go
to his masters cottage, hunt for and
find any article required, and then,
after carefully locking the door, he
would remove the key, and bring
both it and the article he was sent
to fetch to his master. The latter
had lost both his legs, and conse-
quently found Jack available help
mate.
The balloon was also noted
through the district as a fair light
weight boxer, and he had also been
trained to use the singlestick with
singular adroitness. Heneyer drank
anything stronger than water, and
was unmarried.

and after viewing the situation asked:
"Well, what are you going to do?'
