THE CONVENTION ADJOURNED.
Ct. Paul After the Democratic National
Convention.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The National
Republican convention adjourned sine
die at $3.50 yesterday afternoon. The call
for the national convention next year
was sulni ted to the executive commit
tee by the sub committee In charge Of
its preparation and q proved. The COM
mittee elected Charming Meeks, of Col
orado, sergeant-at-arms of the national
convention.
AS many members of the committee
left for their home in the morning, some
difficulty was experienced in securing a
quorum for the afternoon session. The
IN 9eting was devoted to an interchange
of views on the political situations in the
various states. the report on each state
giving his ideas as to what could be
done and ha was necessary to do it.
A signii an speech was made by ex-
Governor Plnchback, of Louisiana, one
of the colored members of the commit
tee. He said that the political oppression
of the negroes in the south was largely
due to the bearing Of the white Repub-
Gcans there, who kept their party men
of the African race from taking an
active a t in politics and from assert
ing their right of suffrage. Mr.. Pinch
back advocated the fostering of a more
independent spirit on the part of the
southern negro voter.
A meeting Of the executive committee
will be called in two or three weeks by
Chairman Clarlrson to begin preliminary
work in regard TO the convention.
The sub-executive committee ap-
pointed to decide upon place and date
for the next convention of the League
held long session at the Arlington ho-
tel last night, and finally decided to re-
fer tho matter to a special committee
consisting of General Clarkson of Iowa,
Mr.. Allen of Michigan, w. w. Tracy
of Illinois, e. c. Little of Kansas, and
W. L. Riley of Kentucky. This com
mittee will meet subject to the call Of
the chairman.

The People VS. Politicians.

If the meeting of the two committees
is really and honestly In the interest of
democracy and harmony, We hope they
will not do the bidding Of interested pO-
liticians and will consult the interest of
the people In every thing they do.
By right and justice the old committee
should remain in power and the new one
dismissed, or If 1t is thought advisable to
reOrganize the committee, the manner
to do so Is to call primaries in each ward
and let those ward select and elect their
own delegates, aud according to their
population. Harmony cannot exist un-
less the committee adopts measures
which will be agreeable and acceptable
to the people. They are the power and
will resist everything which is against
their interest.
The parish committee Is organized to
take charge of the interest and to repre-
sent the people, and not to promote the
chances Of greedy politicians, and unless
the action of the committee at its meet
tomorrow, be wise. conservative and fol
the people; instead Of harmonizing mat
ters they will create dissention and ap-
position which will surely be felt in ouI
parish politics.

The Pros are trying their best to
keep the lottery amendment out of
politics and treat 1t as a secondary
matter, claiming that the interest of
the democracy should be first consi-
dered, and then the lottery; but the
Antis insist OIL making 1t the issue,
and will make it lottery against lottery.
The democracy will apparently play a
very insignificant part in the next
campaign. In this parish there exist
no republican party. the fight for the
lottery as we'll as state and local candi-
dates can as we'll be made on the lottery
issue, or run as YOU please, each man

The Monotonies Of Life.

Not long ago a prominent merchant,
who committed suicide, left a note stat
ing that his reason for the act was that
he was tired of doing the same things
over and over every day. The mOnOtO-
ny Of life had became unendurable to
him. 1t hardly seems a sufficient rea-
son for so desperate resort as suicide,
yet, il the truth was known, it is probably
one reason for many of the suicides that
occur among particular sorts Of people
in middle life, and this Is the period of
life when suicides are most frequent.
After men have passed the hOpefulness
Of youth, and before they have reached
the resignation Of age, it is then that
existence becomes very dull thing;
to dress and undress at the same hour
three hundred and sixty-five times
year. Tosit regularly, at regular hours,
at same table and consume the same
viands; to 60 to the same place of busi-
ness and handle the same books, make
the same bargains, perform the same
duties, do always the same thing with
little variation, with little prospect of
variation, till death superyenes and
brings it all to an end. offers not a
bright outlook. But it is the reality Of
life-to most lives-and the higher
the race rises in civilization, the further
the division Of labor goes. the greater
comes the mOnOtOny. Each worker
learns to do some one thing and cOnti-
nnes to do it, and does it over and over.
year after year.
Dut this sort Of feeling is experienced
only by persons who are filled with ner-
vOus energy, who are impatient Of the
restraints Of society or the exactions of
the ordinary duties Of life. Such
person would fill the role Of an ex-
plorer, wanderer, seeker Of adventures
in strange lands. caring little whittier

lization Of change. the finding Of some

the mOnotOny Of prospe-
rity would be az unbearable as the mo-
nOtOny of a narrow fortune and exact
ing daily labor. There are places for
such restless spirits if only they could
always secure them. For such there
mihgt be in store something brilliant
and distinguished. although they would
be most likely to realize the meaning of
the proverb about the rolling stone.
True, life is prOsy and mOnOtOnOus
enough, but not too much so for most
people. The urgent demands Of practi-
cal existence do not leave much time
FOR romance, but nevertheless there are
still hooks. and corners into which the
light Of fairy land shines. while few
hearts are denied the delights of love,
the consultations Of friendship and the
influences of duty and devO-
ton to principle. But all can neither
be heroes nor saviOrs any more than
that all can be monsters of depravity.
Most Of us have to be commonplace
persons. Let us be thankful rather
than dissatisfied Picayune.

Mr.. Marsh desired to inquire of the
teachers committee relative to the state
ment published in the Times that ten
more teachers had been elected than
were required. Mr.. Wilmer said that he
had several times explained the matter.
He then explained that the extra teach

always occurred during the long vaca-
ton, and that they were only paid for
actual service, taking their place as sub
stitute teachers if there were not places
for them at the beginning of the school

THE COLVIN SHOOTING.
The Wounded Man and Maxwell
Formerly Lived Here.

The sensational attempted murder of
R. S. Colvin, in Oakland, by.J. G.
Howell, is occupying considerable space
in the Oakland and San Francisco papers
just at present. Colvin is still alive and
Perrie Maxwell, the 60 between, is in
Jail. Colvin and Perrie Maxwell both
resided in Los Angeles for some time.
Maxwell formed partnership here soon
after his arrival. The firm was Maxwell
q Gates, stenographers. Maxwell also
has brother living in this county.
Colvin also did stenographic work in
this city and is well known in court
circles. The young men were here
when the Wyatt opera company held
the boards at the Los Angeles theater.
Ethel Avery Maxwell, the wife of Per-
re Maxwell was a member of the com
pany. In fact, Colvin first became ac-
qualnted with Maxwell in this city.
The two became friends and Maxwell
learned of Colvin's mad infatuation for
Miss Howell. The friends of the
wounded man claim that Maxwell
played Colvin double. by attempting to
undermine him and also to compromise
him with Miss Howell. so that he could
secure Colvins position after Howell
shot him. lt

Mr.. G. F, SMURR, during his recent
visit to Los Angeles, made the state
ment that the Southern Pacific railway
had shipped twenty-nine hundred car
loads of potatoes to the east thus far
this year, and that of this grand total
fifteen hundred carloads were from
Southern California-nearly all from
Los Angeles. Yet, two years ago Los
Angeles was importing potatoes from
the counties to the north of us and from
Kansas and Missouri. All kinds of gar
den truck are now sent to the east, in
cluding early green peas, string beans,
early potatoes and tomatoes. This trade
is growing at wonderful rate. Much
of our early vegetable product is shipped
to Montana, Idaho, Utah, Washington
and many other western states and ter
ritories. This is field OF fairly illimit-
able possibilities. An effort is about to
be made, which will doubtless be sue
cessful, for obtaining the privilege of
shipping assorted carloads, which of
itself will have tendency to greatly
expand the business.

THE COMING LACROSSE MATCH.
The Riverside and Los Angeles Clubs
Ready for the Fray.

Ready for the Fray.
R. F. Strange, the secretary of the
Riverside lacrosse team, writes that the
team selected to uphold the prestige of
the champions will leave Riverside at
8 O'Clock Thursday morning. The game
will be called at 2 80 o'clock in order to
give the Riversiders chance to return
home the same day. =, A writer who
hides his identity under Outing sends
the HERALD the following comparison of
the games OF lacrosse and football:
There is some slight resemblance be-
tween lacrosse and football, lnasmuch
as both games are played on about the
same size field, and about the same
number of players are engaged on each
side, but one thing in favor of the
former game is, there are not the same
tedious waits as in football, while the
players are Ginning up" And instead
of the excitement going by fits and
starts, it is continuous. Besides this,
the ball is in plain view while
facing, there not being the crowd
of players around as in starting
the ball in football game.
There is the same exciting dash of the
crowd to one side or the other, but the
intense interest is not broken b. the
cry of "Down," which is the signal for a
delay of several minutes. Everything
is in excitement on the field; the cries
OF the captain, the shifting positions of
the men in obedience, the quick move
ments and graceful throws, the swift
running and well-judged lodgings as the
player makes his way toward the COW

A STANDING TEMPTATION.

Mr.. Charles Seyler, the agent of the
Southern Pacific railway in Los Angeles,
very frequently has an opportunity OF
gauging in very practical manner the
opinion entertained by strangers of the
climate and general characteristics OF
Los Angeles. The other day an educated
Cuban gentleman stepped into his Office
to ask him what it would cost to send
his houshold furniture to the Queen of
the Antilles. In the course of the con-
yersation the Cuban said that the health
of his wife was so bad that, to preserve
her life, his physician told him she must
leave the island and reside in the United
States. He at once shipped his
household goods to Philadelphia !;
and, after brief residence there,
the Philadelphia physicians told
him he must take her to California; He
at once packed his household goods and
started for this state. After short
residence in San Jose, he was informed
that he must take his wife further south.
In February OF this year he arrived in
4JO5 hDSClCS. oihCO bnCl LIS WIG has
gained forty pounds and her health has
been so perfectly re-established that
family, self and household goods go back
to the old home. Such occurrences are
quite frequent in the City of the
Angels, and they are centered i'll
the Offices of the several railways.
We have still another instance of the
last three or four days, also derived from
Mr.. Seyler. When that gentleman gave
the writer these notes he had no idea
that he was being interviewed for publi-
cation, nor had the writer, but we
looked upon them as so Pc
culiariy illustrative of what will
play great part in the future
of Southern California that we could
not forbear making note of them. 1t,
too, had relation to the shipping Of
household goods, but this time it was
from Jacksonville, Florida, to this city.
A gentleman interviewed Mr.. Seyler,
who had spent twelve days in
Los Angeles, after having lived
twelve years in Jacksonville. His
inquiry related to the cost of getting
his Lares and Penates and all his be-
from his late Florida home to
this city. He sought Florida originally
in order to benefit the health of his
family, and he is satisfied that he
wasted just twelve years. Here they
propose to remain.

favored regions should never blind the

We TODAY transfer to our columns,
from the San Francisco Examiner,
statistics which show that the Southern
Pacific railway has done an unprece-
dented business during the past six
months. 1t has paid all accrued obliga-
tions, dividends and charges of all
kinds, and has passed to the good sur
plus of $lS5,000 during the past six
months. This is a remarkably fine
showing. The interview with Colonel
Crocker in which these gratifying facts
of development-for the prosperity of
her railways means also that of the
people of California-also contained the
first official admission of the purchase
of the San Bernardino motor railway by
the Southern Pacific company. The an
nouncement of that purchase was one OF
the many scoops with which the
