"An Empty Absurditx."

Here is Arthur McEwen's estimate of
Colonel Markham:
The Republicans are dreadfully cha
grined, but they. stand by their candi-
date as becomes loyal party men. "No,"
they admit, 'the colonel can't make a
speech, but when he gets down among
the people shaking hands with them his
work tells. That's his strong hold, and
after after all we don't want a spread
eagle orator for governor OF the great
state OF California" This reminds one
of what Ambrose Bierce once wrote of q
politician who had purchased an inter-
est in one Of the city's newspapers:
General Blank is certain to impress
himself upon the journalism and poll
tics of the state. True, he can't write
and he can't talk, but they do say he's a
devil to Think
That Markham is much that is claimed
for him as a good husband, an exem-
plary parent, soldier bearing honor
able wounds, and in private life amiable
and agreeable, there can be no doubt; /;
but as public man he is handicapped
by being able neither to talk nor to
write, and gives not the faintest indica-
tion of being even "a devil to think"
He is an empty absurdity.

whats the use Of being a police COM

lied for two days running? The next
thing heard of will probably be that
Chief Glass will be held up and the city
Jail robbed of all its valuables, and pos
sibly that the whole police force will be
kidnapped" Such were the remarks that
Police Commissioner "Tom" Lewis
might have made yesterday. To be sure
the HERALD reporter did not hear him
talk SO, but that is by no means any evil
dence that he did not. For the two
burglaries are facts. On Monday, some
time about the dead hour of noon, when
the full, glorious glare of our semi-tropic
sunlight prevented the able police
force from seeing what was going
on, bold burglar burgled Mr..
Lewis's hAuse, and took away a
lot of valuable wearing apparel. He
forgot some things, however, for on
Tuesday at about the same weird hour
this able expert in HOUSEKEEPING en-
tered the amiable commissioners abode
again, and took a second supply of arti-
cles which suited his fastidious taste.
Mr.. Lewis is very patient man, as he
has shown since the Republican county
convention, but if his house is burglar
lied again today there is liable to be
some glass broken, and it will not be
window glass either.

MRS. HAML1N AND MRS. PARK.
A New Way to Settle an Old
Bill.

Rlus
Mrs. Mamie Hamlin, the wife of a
First-street grocer, was fined by Justice
Austin in the sum of SO yesterday for
disturbing the peace of Mrs. Agnes Park
on Monday last.
From the testimony of number of
witnesses it was learned that Mrs. Park
was until recently proprietress of a res
taurant, and obtained her groceries
from Hamlin's store, 719 East First
street, on credit. She disposed of her
restaurant, however, by private sale,
and Hamlin made several futile efforts
to collect the amount, some $50 odd.
due for groceries and provisions. His
wife, on learning of his ill success, de-
termined to take hand in the matter
herself, and ii no other way would do, to
scare Mrs. Park into paying the bill.
Accordingly she waited her oppor-
tunity, and on Monday afternoon, as
Mrs. Park walked past the store, the
irate Mrs. Hamlin rushed out, and
grabbing hold of her arms, pushed her
bodily into the store and closed the
door. She then proceeded to give the
astonished Mrs. Park a piece of her
mind, which she did in terms more
forcible than polite. Mrs. Park was
then informed that she would never
leave the store again alive until that bill
was paid. Not in the least abashed,
Mrs. Park turned on her heel ahd left,
and Mrs. Hamlin's subsequent arrest
informed that lady of where she went
when she left the store. The bill is not
yet paid, and is likely to lead TO more
trouble between the two women.

ON TO FRISCO.
THE SANTA FE'S NEW LINE LO-
GATED FOR SEVENTY MILES.
Rogers on the Atlantic and Pacific the
Starting Point-Work to Commence at
Both Ends on the First of January.

The line of the Santa Fe company's
road to San Francisco has been finally
located for seventy miles north of the
Atlantic and Pacific railway. A HERALD
reporter Yesterday met member of the
engineers corps who gave him the lat
est information.
The line has been finally located, be-
ginning at Rogers, water tank station
about twenty miles east of Mojave.
From here the final survey has just been
completed to Grains lake, seventy
miles from Rogers on the north side of
Antelope valley. f. G. Clenham, the
chief of this surveying party,
having completed his work on this
division, has joined forces with Engineer
Berman, who is now making the final
location Of the line from Owens lake to
Castac, a distance of twenty miles, so
that ninety miles of the final location
may be said to have been completed.
The company is now having survey
made of the town of Rogers, the starting
point, and are having sidetracks put in
preparatory to- handling the immense
amount of material whichwill be shipped
up the country from that place.
In the surveyors camp it was
announced some time ago that
the work of construction would
commence about January first, and
that operations would begin at both
ends simultaneously, from Rogers on the
south and from Bakersfield on the north,
with the view of joining the ends at
about Fort TETON.
On the line adopted there will be but
one tunnel, which is located near Grain g
lake; this will be 1900 feet long. The
line will cross the Southern Pacific at
Rosamond, by means of short tunnel
The grade is easy throughout and the
difficulties of construction very few.

attended the races at that place. He
had straight tips," and so very nat
