THE sacreligious scoundrels who blew
open the altar safe of the Catholic ca
thedral and stole the communion SER
vice Of silver, will be apprehended, if
there is the right kind OF detective saga
city in our police department. The
men who would perpetrate so heinous
crime must belong to the most hardened
class of criminals. They are doubtless
ex-convicts, and their pictures perhaps
grace the rogue's gallery OF every city
on the coast. Surely men of this stamp
cannot have been in the city for even
short time without having been recog-
nized by the detectives. 1t is also evil
dent that they must have carefully re-.
connoitered the scene of the burglary,
and this would seem to indicate that
they are not strangers to Los Angeles.
To run down such fellows would seem
to be feasible detective task. If the
impious wretches are caught, it wiil
fare hard with them. Such fellows
ought to be sent to their account with
out the benefit of bell, book or candle.

One of the peculiar developments OF
the shortage" of crops in Russia is
seen in the fact that from August Sth to
October oath, there were $685. ,976 quar-
ters of wheat shipped from Russian
ports, an excess of l66,410 quarters
shipped for the same period last year.
1t was calculated by Beerbohm that 49,
1000 bushels would be the probable
quantity that country could spare this
year. The ukase forbidding the expor-
tation of wheat went into effect a few
days ago, and it is estimated that from
the oath of October up to that time
something over SO, 100000 bushels in all
would have been exported from Russia.
1t is inconceivable that country whose
peasantry are in state of starvation
should send abroad nearly as much
wheat as in year when the crops have
yielded up to the average. There is
something radically wrong in the inter
nal administration of government that
can export breadstuffs in large quanti-
ties whilst its farmers are wrestling with
starvation.

Our evening contemporary some
times strikes funny vein. In try ing
to break the force Of the HERALD's
declaration, that New York can be safely
counted on for Democratic majority at
the next election, it says; "Seeing that
Cleveland failed to carry that state three
years ago, it is not clear on what the
HERALD bases its excessive confidence
at this time" Why, dearie, it's as clear
as flash OF lightning, or as the sun on
a cloudless MONDAY, or the pellucid
water that trickles over the pebbles in
mountain brook. We base our declara-
tion on the $4,000 majority just given
by that state for Flower, at the end of
one of the most energetic contests ever
waged between the two parties in that
state. That beats your three-years-
citation all hollow. Now as you admit
that if the Republican party cannot win
without New York, and we show you
that New York cannot be taken from
the Democracy, we agree with you per-
fectly that it is not worth while for the
Republican party to nominate ticket.

news, literature, correspondence, etc.,
and in its dramatic, musical and art
criticisms it surpasses its contempora-
ries. Its dramatic critic, George Edward
Barnes, has national reputation for
fairness, ability and clear-cut, analyti-
cal style. If the Call occupied position
of real independence between the two
parties, it could exercise a most benef-
cent influence upon public affairs. 1t
could strike at wrong and corruption
wherever it found them, and its work
would be effective for the reason that
the people would know that there was
no motive OF partisanship in it.

ITHAs been discovered that in some
of the cheap Chicago restaurants horse
felh is served up to the customers in
stead of beef. This is not another am
bilious fad of Chicago to initiate Paris,
but the result of fraud on the part of the
restauranteurs, who pay less for horse
steaks than for beef-steaks. By the
time the Columbia fair is on, the horse
flesh caterers will have reached such
perfection in serving up horse-fesh
dishes that the ordinary tenderfoot
from the Pacific coast and the Atlantic
seaboard will be unable to tell the diff
ference between it and the meat OF broad
horned Texas steers.

Unt Dau TdnClbCO Odll
should be rankly partisan Republican
organ has been puzzling question for,
10, these many years. Its main sup
port has always come from that class Of
the community that form the bone and
sinew of the Democratic party, and the
tenacious way in which they cling to it
is really fine illustration OF the fact
that a newspaper that has acquired a
fixed place in household can tax the
patience of its readers by all sorts of
vagaries and inconsistencies and still
continue to be taken by them. A large
proportion Of the population OF San Fran
cisco have seen the Call come to their
homes regularly since they were chill
dren, and it has become sort of house
hold fixture, which they would as soon
part with as the old family clock, which
also goes wrong and yet is tolerated in
its errors. But what excuse can paper
offer for presuming upon this sentiment
among it's subscribers to constantly out
rage their political feelings by the
rankest kind of partisanship? We can
understand why the Chronicle is mean
and reckless in its partisanship; but
why the Call should be equally rabid,
although less given to mendacity, we
cannot account for. There is this to say
for the Call, however: Outside of pol
itics, it is a good newspaper. Where
there is no partisanship to influence it,
v discusses men and events in an intel
Iipent and instructive and sometimes
luminous way. 1T is an excel
ent newspaper in all it's departments OF

One OF the most instructive as we'll as
interesting lectures delivered in this
CITY for long time was that by DIR.
Mckenzie at the First Presbyterian
church last night. Camping in Cannan
was the subject of the talk. The doctor
said the next best thing in travelling in
that country, was to converse with those
who had been there. From the opening
to the close of the lecture, he metaphor
ically took his audience to the Land of
Cannan, pointing out to them the
familiar biblical spots and describing
the origin and other unfamiliar traits
of the dwellers in the valley and plains
of Sharon.
After introducing the subject he de-
scribed the voyage to Jaffa. From
there he proceeded, by the only road in
Palestine, across the plain. The road
has been the track of all invasions, and
was remodeled by the Romans and re-
paired by the Turks a few years ago.
The plains of Sharon stretch forty
miles from Jaffa, to range of bills, and
over the hills is Jerusalem. The doctor
dwellt at length upon the beauty of
the plains, their fertility, their inhab-
itants and characteristics.
The same kind of pillow used by
Abraham was used now. Though many
husbandmen were seen, not single
farm house was encountered, as the peo-
ple dwell together in towns for mutual
protection.
In this plain were acres upon acres OF
poppies, red. then yellow, then pink.
After crossing the plain they camped in
the hills near the town, where, as tradi-
tion has it, the penitent thief came
from. After visiting the tomb OF Rachel
and seeing where Ruth and Naomi lived,
they proceeded by easy stages to Jerusa-
lem.
The doctor, quoting Dean Stanley, said
that in Palestine were found huddled to-
gether the characteristics OF all other
countries, and certainly all the charac-
teristics of California were there.
The lecture was given for the benefit
of the East Side Presbyterian church,
and quite handsome sum was realized.

sented herewith, be placed on its pass

late Italian consul at New Orleans,
in his report on the lynchiHg there,
say the victims belonged to 10

ell simply because they were Italians

furthermore, that after the lynching
he aud his secretary barricaded

kaiser, but, Notwithstanding the
the sentries and their instructions,
