otherwise we should have the anomaly of a
provision of an act going into effect before
the act became an operative law. Undoubt-
court the opinion would be that the intention
of the legislature clearly was that the city
committee should select member of the
board within seven days after the law went
into effect. Any other construction would
lead to the absurdity of creating an officer
before the office was in being.

The registration act passed by the
last legislature provides that each
oil the two members of the board
not appointed by the governor 'shall he
nominated by the city committee of his own
political party, and upon due notice thereof
in writing the several mayors of said cities
shall forthwith appoint such persons so NOM
mated Imembers of said board" On the
ninth Of May the Republican city committee
of Bangor notified the mayor of that CITY
that they had selected Charles L. Marston
for the Republican member of the board
The mayor, however, has ignored this nom
ination and appointed William II. Harlow.
Probably his defence, if he sees fit to make
one, will be that the law requires the city
committee TO nominate within seven days
from the date of the approval of the act, and
as the act was approved February 25th, and
the city committee did not-ncminate until
May 9th, he was absolved from appointing
their nominee. This defence NAV be tech.
nicalll good, but on the merit, of the matter
IL is very pad. The act In one of its early
sections does provide that the city committee
shall nominate within seven days after the
approval of the act, the intention when this
provision was drawn being undoubtedly to
to provide that the act should take eject
when approved. Subsequently this inten-
tion was changed and the act was left to 90
into effect at the statute period, that is,
thirty days after the adjournment of the
legislature The legislature adjourned April
third, and thirty days after that would be
May third. so the act became an operative
law on the third of May. Within seven days
of that time the Republican committee nom
mated member of the registration board.
Now it is very evident that the provision OF
the law that required the city committee to
nominatea candidate within seven days after
the approval of the act became imperative
when the act neglected to provide that IL
should take effect when approved, because

F.The credit OF our government never, under any

No private individual has any such power to fill
his empty pocketbook. When, from any cause

The 5lst Congress legislated the high tariff
bill. But on the silver question, which, according
TO Major Mckinley. is lesser issue than the
tariff question, the PRESS wants Joint action on
the part OF the countries of Europe. Here is a
decided misf.. Evidently the PRESS and Major
Mckinley must ''get together" and talk this mat
ter oyer.-Eastern Argus.
The Argus advances the novel proposition
that this country ought to undertake alone
to remonetize silver because it undertakes
alone to levy protective tariff on foreign
goods. 1t would be just as sensible to argue
that, because man wants the help of hi.
neighbors to raise his barn, he also wants
their assistance lin preserving discipline IL
his family. Because both men and nations
like to have their standards of value the
same as those used by their Ineighbors is no
sign that man also wants his neighbors to
cooperate in determining what kinds .of
food or clothing shall be brought into his
house, or that nation wants its neighbors
to assist it in making its tariff laws. 1t is a
fact that none of the nations of Europe dare
attempt alone to restore the free coinage of
silver. The associated nations of the Latin
union do not dare to try it together. Is the
Argus in favor of having the United States
venture alone into the perilous path that is
Stunned by the other great nations?

Interest in the lynching at New d, leans

Interest in the lynching at New o. leans is
again revived by the report of Signor Corte,
the Italian consul, which contains the state
ment that the Italians who were killed were
killed because they were Italians and be-
cause they were competing with native la
borers. 1t is scarcely possible that this
statement expresses the honest convictions
of Signor Corte, but if it does he is a gentle
man of altogether too duh perceptions 10
make him competent representative of a
great nation like Italy. Nothing could be
clearer than that the New Orleans outbreaks
was rising, not against the people of any
nationality, but against band of despera
does who had been concerned in an atrociou:
crime. We do not propose to defend that
uprising 1t was bad way to rid commu
nifty of men as desperate and dangerous even
as the men who murdered Chief of Police
Hennessey, but the New Orleans lyncher:
were not guilty of the far worse offence OF
hanging men because they were of differ
ent race or sold their labor cheaper in the
market.

=. Our Republican contemporaries who would
Ike to see the South subject to negro rule, be-
can party, should be reminded of the latest news
from Hayti, where the black man manages things
as ne chooses, and there are no Rebel Briga-
dierS" and white desperadoes' to hold him in
check. Their whole attentioc being devoted to
the eudeayor to prove that the black man can full
fill the needs of civilization as well or better than
his white brother, it is to be feared that in their
absorption they may overlook this peculiarly
striking example to the contrary, though it may
lie at our very doors.-Augusta New Age.
If the New Age will cast its eyes little
farther south upon the Republic of Chill it
can find strife going on there which has,
If the telegraph reports are true. been car
ried on with quite as much brutality as that
in Hayti, and the participators In which are
mostly of the Caucasian race. III the New
Age will then cast its .eyes over the sea to
the empire of Russia it will behold the ex-
pulsion OF whole race simply on account of
their race; and this expulsion, accom-
panied with sufferings far exceeding those
experienced by the Haytien insurgents. The
government which does this is white mans
government. If the New Age will cast its
eyes into Asia it will there find hundreds OF
men enduring the most fearful tortures
simply because they have dared to proclaim
love for liberty or have practiced free
speech. And the government responsible
for their tortures is white mans govern
ment. Or if the New Age will glance back
over the pages of history it will find many
horrible tales Of massacre of men, women
and children merely for holding some reli.
gious opinion. and all by men Of the Cauca.
sian race. But the New Age need not turn
to other countries to find atrocities quite as
bad as those committed in Hayti perpetrated
by white men. Let it consult the report OF
the Congressional committee which in.
vestigated the operations of the Ku Klux
Kan not many years ago. Let it there read
the stories of midnight arsons and assassin.
ations practieed upon defenceless black
men of the South by the white raiders, and
contrast them with the atrocities of the
Haytien troops, and then tell us II the latter
prove that the negro ought not to have any
voice in the government of the southern
states, why the former do not prove that the
white man should also be debarred.

REDONDO.

The steamer Pomona arrived here from
San Francisco yesterday morning with a
larger number of passengers than usual
for this place and Los Angeles.
Visitors to the conservatory and gar
dens of the Redondo company now enjoy
a rare treat, as there are acres OF many
colored blossoms OF all descriptions.
Notable among the great variety of
plants is the huge plot of chrysanthe-
NUNS, embracing every kind and color,
mammoth in size, exquisite in forma-
ton. Indeed it seems there is no plant
or flower that will not attain
the highest perfection in these gardens.
Perhaps nowhere does the much-sought
carnation thrive SO well, but Redondo's
carnation fields have already become
famous, not only in this state, but many
others.

Raising sugar beets for the Chino
factory was decidedly unsatisfactory for
the growers in this locality. Ontarions
will not repeat the experiment next
year. Considering that this has been
an experimental year with all interested
in the Chino enterprise, our people are
not disposed to kick at some things
which appear dubious in the actions OF
the managers OF the sugar factory; but,
just the same, critical eye will be upon
them to note the outcome OF next sea-
sons run.
William Friend has been elected Sec
retary of our board of trade. He has
always been jealous worker for the
town, and is a thoroughly competent
man for the position.
The Monte Vista tract, lying between
Ontario and Pomona, is being supplied
with water, and force OF men is at
