A LEvEL-HRADED soUrHERNER.

Senator Pugh, of Alabama, has long
head. He belongs to the class OF people
who are described in Matthew, and who
are as wise as serpents and as innocent
as doves. In the language of the poet
as to Abou Ben Adhem, may his tribe
increase. In a communication to the
Age Herald, of Birmingham, Alabama,
Senator Pugh gives his views of the po-
litical situation, as disclosed by the re-
cent elections. He says that he heartily
deprecates confning the Issues to the
single topic of the tariff. He points out
the fact that Mckinley, on the tariff
issue, carried Ohio-that it was set
battle, with the best generals OF both
parties in the lead, and with no quarter.
He deprecates the TACT that Governor
Campbell went back on the silver ques-
ton. He thinks that the party needs
all its issues to insure victory, and that
we ought to attack the enemy in front,
flank and rear. Here is statesman for
youl He not only thinks that
we ought not to be confined
to single issue, but that 1t
is perfectly ridiculous to tie the fortunes
of the Democratic party to single man.
This observation has an oblique refer
ence to the Hon. Grover Cleveland, OF
happy memory, who had an idea in
1887 that the fortunes of the Demo-
cratic party would be improved by four
wears of Harrison administration. In
fact, Senator Pugh does not mince his
words. He says bluntly that Governor
David Bennett Hill is thirty thousand
votes stronger in New York than Cleve-
land. He thinks that Hill can carry
both New York and Indiana, and
he points to the fact that Cleve-
land lost them both in 1855, and
would meet similar fate in 1892. We
hope that this intrepid southerner will
keep on talking. The HERALD would a
good deal rather see the destinies of the
United States in the hands of Demo-
Gratis than in those OF Republicans. 1t
would make Democrats feel better, and
give ambitious young Democrats bet
ter show. As to carrying Iowa and
other rock-ribbed Republican states in
a presidential year, this sturdy south
erner has nothing but amused contempt
for the proposition. Right thou art, 0
Pugh! Yeall Verily!!! Thy head is
even on the level of the datum political
plane.

able. logical conclusion. 1t would sim
ply accentuate it. In spite of the re-
monstrance of our contemporary, we
must insist that the success of John
Sherman, past, present and prospective,
simply illustrates the aphorism of Gold
smith of the wretched state of commu-
nifty, ''to Fastening ills prey, in which
wealth accumulates and men decay"
The success of the boodler and in
triguer, however clever be may be,is not
an inspiriting sign in any nation, and
cannot change the intelligent popular
verdict as to the Ohio refrigerator.

The Merced Cattle Thief.

MERGED, CAL, Dec. 2.-The prelimi-
charged with attlestealing, took place
before Justice Hicks today. The testi-
mony of two of Lawson's agents as to
Lamarie corralling and making away
with a young beef which had been pur-
posely branded on the belly by the
owner, was strongly corroborated by
circumstantial evidence and the positive
evidence OF other witnesses. The de-
fendant was held in the sum Of $25o0 to
appear before the superior court. Dur
ing the past fifteen years Lamarie has
been arrested number of times for cat
tie and hog stealing, but he has always
escaped conviction.

Tnn international League Of Press

THE International League of Press
clubs have been induced to extend their
California visit, which was originally
mapped out to include only San Fran
cisco, to Southern California. They will
be here about the middle OF next month.
The National Editorial association will
also be importnned to hold their next
convention, which meets in May, at
some point in this state. If they do not
meet in Los Angeles, they will pay our
city visit of several days. 1t will be
OF great benefit to California to have
these representatives of leading news
papers all over the union visit this state.
They will diffuse valuable information
about this coast amongst their millions
of readers, correct the false ideas some
people have about our state, and give
great impulse to the desire of many
fasteners to seek permanent homes
here. We shall give these important
bodies hearty welcomes when they come.

THE armed cruiser New York, that
was successfully launched at the yards
OF the Cramps yesterday, is the largest
war vessel ever yet put afloat by the
United States. Her displacement is
$3.50 tons, and her armament will be one
of the most powerful and effective
carried by any vessel of her class in the
world. With few more such formid-
able cruisers, the flag will not be at the
mercy of every petty power that sees
fit to fiout it. The British admiralty
has realized that the monster chips
carrying 100-toa guns are not so
effective for attack as somewhat
lighter craft armed with batteries OF
eight-inch breech- loading rifles, supple
mented by rapid-firing smaller pieces.
The 1O0-ton guns have turned out on
trial to be more dangerous to the ships
carrying them than to the enemy. The
execution of these large engines at
Alexandria gave them temporary pres
tige; but there are more important OBJ
jects for navy than battering down
old fortresses. The combat at sea
with ships nearly matched is where
effective execution will tell in future
naval conflicts, and the vessels that can
do the most rapid firing and show the
greatest speed in making evoiutions in
battle are the ones that will win the
day in the conflicts OF the future. The
United States cannot afford to be
snubbed by any power, large orsmall, and
the way to put an end to insult is to be
able and ready to resent it at once when
offered, no matter by whom. AS we
have said before, there is no politics
in the question of building up formid-
able and serviceable navy. All parties
are agreed upon the necessity of making
ourselves strong on the ocean. When
we are prepared to enforce our views on
international questions, our views will
be readily concurred in without enforce
ment. We ought to be the most power
full of all nations on the ocean. And it
is the temper and determination of our
people to become such. There will be
no grumbling from any quarter at the
most liberal appropriations that con-
gress deems 1t proper to make to in
crease our navy.

And his heart grew wild with joy,
AS she family blushed and hung low her head,
In her maidenly manner coy.
II want you to teach me" her eyes looked up.
To his in q trustful way,
And his soul grew faint at the perfect bliss
That might be his some day.
All, yes, he would teach her, he thought, and. oh.
How sweet would the lesson be,
With her as the queen of his passionate heart
Held captive, and yet so free.

up to my son and pretended
to know him, at the same time slipping
the prisoner small file. l ordered the
men to step back, as it was plain that
they were getting ready for rescue,

Reffell had nearly severed his handcuff

GERMAN SOCIALISM.

The recent congress of socialists at
Erfurt afforded an eYemplificatiOu of the
general fact that radicals and eXtrem-
lists become cautious and conservative
as they begin to share the responsible
ties of government. Their delibera-
tons have the form and color of strong
and hopeful political party, working for
the welfare of the people through con-
stitutiOaal and legitimate means. There
was little that savOred of anarchy, an d
no suspicion of dynamite and devasta-
ton of social order. Whether on ac-
count of their moderation and allie
glance to law and peaceful meth
DDS or their remarkable develop
mept of strength as a party, they
were accorded Official respect and
no interference had with their
deliberations. Originally the socialists
were few in numbers, but much of the
Iihilstic spirit. The overthrow of ex-
listing things was sought, with little con-
sideration of what might follow. The
growth of socialism as political force
has been almost phenomenal in Ger
many. In 1871 it polled but 10l, 927
votes. This increased to 493. AT in 1873,
when there was falling away to 81, 96l
i'll 1881. The hostility of BISMARCK
then eliminated in the anti-sOcialist
laws. This persecution gave new
vigOr to the movement, and the
numbers have multiplied beyond all
precedent. Last year the vote had
grown to 1,34l,597. This is consider
able per cent of the entire vote, and gives
success IN several of the prominent
cities. The one deputy in 1871 had
grown TO thirty-six last year. The party
has. an able and spirited press, and
seems destined TO become powerful
factor in German politics. The govern
ment has adopted measures designed to
cOnciliate rather than to suppress it by
force. 1t is too strong to be driven to
the death by arbitrary power.
