The Salvation Armv.

EDITORS HERALD: The HERALD of the
22d instant contained letter purport-
ing to be "rejoinder" to some innocent
structures on the Salvation army which
appeared ina former issue. The writer
subscribes himself gu. S. Army, !"
which would imply that he imagines he
is host in himself, and claims to be
the special Champion OF the Saliva
tionists. He is very glib in the use of
such delicate little adjectlves as ''cur,"
coward" etc., and says "slandered"
his army" would not notice his lit
tie ebullition of bile if it did not contain
several palpable untruths; and if
the ~. S. Army" reads the Bible,
which he no doubt does, he must
know that all liars have their portion in
the lake that burneth with fire and
birthstone.
His first lie is that / spoke of the
"army" in "coarse" and .slanderous'
way, whereas the 'advance guard
which appeared here on the occasion re-
ferred to were spoken OF as being COM
posed of an elderly, matronly lady.
with her two attractive daughters"
Any one not hopelessly lost in the
mazes of religious frenzy, or sunk in the
depths of mental obtuseness, would
regard this language as rather compli-
! mentary. II it is "slanderous," the
"U. S. Army" has made it SO himself.
Lie number two is that the ''army''
for which he speaks is everywhere
treated with respect, even by tie hood
lums, while the truth is it is the butt of
ridicule wherever it appears in public,
and often the cause of disturbances, as
the daily press will attest.
This soul-saving champion also thinks
that the author OF the foregoing awfully

should be ferreted out, stripped of his
uniform, and drummed out OF camp I
suppose ~. S." would furnish

this point, but l will venture the asser-
ton that if the facts in relation to this
fellows military "record" were known,
it would appear that while others were
doing their duty at the front and bear
ing the brunt of battle, he was cooling
coffee in the rear, peddling tracts, or
hanging around the sanitary commission

Republican bocdsers. Much such work
as was accomplished in New York in
1872, in annihilating the Tweed regime,
has already been done in the Democratic
ranks, and the "elisor" grand jury in
San Francisco has begun its initial work
in the exposure OF scheme of Repub-
lican fraud which has dwarfed anything
that Tweed, Sweeney and their confreres
ever dreamed of. BY all means let us
hold the next Democratic national con-
vention in San Francisco. 1t will thus
vitalize the Pacific coast Democracy and
at the same time invigorate the
Democracy of the nation at large.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-02

The fight for the speakership has
been narrowed down by the withdrawal
of Mr.. Bynum of Indiana, a very strong
man who has thrown his vote and his
following to Mr.. Mills of Texas. This
leaves Mr.. Mills, Mr.. Crisp, Mr.. McMil-
lin, Mr.. Springer and Mr.. Hatch in the
field. These are all strong men. Mr..
Springer of Illinois would probably
make the most ornate speaker. His
district has returned him so often that
that of itself ought to make him hot
favorite. He always appears on Penn
sylvania avenue with a red, red rose in
his button hole, and he is good enough
man and Democrat to be president.
And yet the probabilities are that the
prize will be gathered in by either Mr..
Mills or Mr.. Crisp. Both of these gem
tlemen are parliamentarians of excep-
tional ability, Democrats of standard
excellence and notable politicians. The
wiser choice would be Mr.. Crisp, who
would present no angular outlines to
his party or to the people.

A very select audience watched the
Los Angeles team triumph over the
San Francisco team yesterday afternoon.
The game was fairly interesting from
start to finish. Phil Knell was on his
mettle. The visitors only found him
for six hits. and the famous blonde
twirler did not give solitary San Fran
ciscan base on balls, neither did he
have a wild pitch registered against
him.
The San Francisco team did not ex-
hibit their usual amount of ginger.
Brochers gave no less than six of the
Los Angeles team bases on balls.
"Jo-Jo" was on deck. He wore a
stovepipe into the bargain, and before
the game was over he put on more style
than John l.. Sullivan. For the first
time in the present series of games the
Los Angeles team was the first to score.
They made three big runs in their Sec
ond venture, which so surprised James
Morley that he forgot to ring the patent
bell. Hulen opened up with two bagger,
Hulen broke the ice by scoring
on the catcher's erratic throw
to second base. Later on Lavan hit
hard to third. Nick Smith lost the ball
in the shuffle, and Holiday scored and
Lavan went to second. He reached
third on KnelPs sacrifice hit, and scored
on McAleer's base hit.
The San Francisco team did not score
until the fifth, when they got in one
run. They duplicated this in the sixth.
They failed to afterwards score. The
Los Angeles team also scored in their
fifth and sixth ventures, and won by a
score Of to 2.
The game was we'll played through
out. There was nothing out OF the or
dinary co chronicle. There were several
vacancies in the Los Angeles team to
fill, and in consequence McAleer played
short, and he played the position like a
veteran. Holiday made couple OF
grand-stand catches. The score follows

THE death of Douglass Gum deserves
more than passing notice. Mr.. Gum
was not only for years conspicuous
San Diego journalist, but was at one
time quite prominent member of the
San Francisco newspaper fraternity.
His father, DR.. Gum, who still survives,
was at the head of the Daily Times. a
frst.class, fourishing newspaper pub
lished in that city in the early sixties.
Harry George was one of the editors OF
the paper, and Douglass Gum was
also on the staff. Mr.. Gum was among
the earliest settlers in the new San
Diego, and after having successfully es-
tablished the Daily Union, he drifted
away from the newspaper business. He
filled the position OF mayor with a sin
gleness of purpose to advance the
best interests of the city, and his
administration was characterized by
vigor and integrity. Mr.. Gum was
gifted with many admirable qualities,
and no one knew him intimately with
out appreciating his straightforward and
manly character.

Two Crack Youngsters to Battle Tomor-
row Night.
Tomorrow night the bantamweight
championship of the coast will be de-
ciied at the rooms of the Pastime Ath-
letic club. The contestants are Dan
Mahoney of San Francisco and Solly
Smith of Los Angeles. The records OF
both men were published in the HERALD
last Friday. Opinisn is very much
divided as to the result. There will not
be any great amount of preliminary
sparring, as Smith will doubtless force
matters from the start. He is hard
hitter, and can be relied upon to make
a hard, game fight. Mahoney is cry
clever man, and his friends expect him
to outgeneral the Los Angeles boy. The
admirers of the latter claim that the
San Franciscan will not long be able to
withstand the rushes of Smith. That
remains to be seen, however. The
fight is very open one and the 'talent"
is we'll divided. Mahoney is undoubt-
edly a much better man than evD Smith
faced before. Smith is very confident,
however.

The movement to make San Francisco
the seat of the next national Democratic
convention ought to prevail on all
grounds of party policy. The Pacific
coast is Republican by a very slender
margin. California is now in a con-
dition to respond with spontaneity to any
kindly treatment by the Democratic
party. The Democrats of this coast have
thrown off their allegiance to boss rule,
and are moving with pluck and per-
sistence in the work of exposing the

lands worst enemies to infiict. There
seems to be fixed determination
amongst the friends of home rule in
America to shut off money aid alto
gether until the chiefs of the factions
learn how to bury the hatchet. If
Charles Stewart Parnelrs eldest brother
goes to Ireland to use his influence in
favor Of reconciliation, he will doubtless
be listened to, and his advice ought to
carry great weight.

the design to bring the warning factions
