WILL THRY BEAT BENNY

Mr.. Harrison is not to have things all
his own way at the Minneapolis conven-
tion. There is very decided ground
swell of disapprobation to the little
man from Indiana, and the opposition
comes from quarters of great influence.
Will the convention disregard these oh
jections to Harrison and try to run the
party politics with the politicians left
out? Hardly. I'VE view with ALARM"
with positive alarm, this growing move.
ment to displace His Grandfather's Hat
from the head of the Republican ticket.
In spite of all the ''resolutionss about
Benny he is not a popular man. Indeed
we do not recall leading man in that
party from whom we would expect to
draw more votes to our ticket than from
Mr.. Harrison. The conventions may
bloviate about his administration and
proclaim its undying devotion to the
power that is, but in secret the amount
of downright contempt that ls poured
out from the walls of Republican wrath
on the occupant Of the White House is
really refreshing to an unsophisticated
mind not conversant with the
dark and devious ways of politics.
Republicans are men of like passions
with ourselves, and they feel as deeply
as we do the stings of disappointed
hopes and the disgust that comes over
US when we find our idols are but COM
mon clay. But Republicans have not
that honest way of expressing their feel
ings that We indulge in. 1t is not
good sign for the party, nor is it for the
best interests of the country that men
should so disguise their real sentiments.
Hypocrisy is not good for the individual,
nor for the body polite. And there is
80 much sham sentiment bottled up in
the Republican breast about this little
Hoosier that if ever the opportunity
comes to break away safely from him
what stampede there will be-! We
say this is not pleasant to our eyes. We
should much prefer such ticket as
Harrison and some nobody in the Sec
ond place, than to be obliged to face
such an issue as Blaine, with Alger's
millions to do the heavy charging in the
battle at the final push. The ''Blocks
Of Five" down among the Indiana pa
triots would fight more gallantly than
the colored troops. Whatever the plat
form may say, the real campaigning on
the Republican side is always ques-
tion of the sinews of war. Algsr has
these, and Blaine and Elkins would de-
ploy these battalions in q mastery man

CALIFORNIA Legislatures have been cor
rupt and may be so again--will be so if
the late session OF the legislature of a
thousand scandals is any index Of what
future ones may be. But all the same
it was more difficult for the railroads to
control legislature than it has been to
control the railroad commissions the
past twelve years. The legislatures
were corrupt, but the commissions
have been almost without exception
corruption itself. We believe the COM
missions ought to be abolished, and we
are of the opinion that the principle is
not inconsistent with the true spirit OF
our system of government. Commis-
sions are the source of more corruption
than perhaps any other part of our
methods of government.

TIE news from the east appears to
foreshadow plan OF the Santa Fe going
into San Francisco at day not far dis
tant. As matters stand now Southern
California has an advantage over the
Bay city in the way of railroad competi-
tion. A superficial view might lead one
. to think this advantage is as real as it is
apparent. But is it SO? If that road
had connection with the largest COM
mercial city of the coast and could &C.
cure share of the large business orig
mating there directly or by importation
from Asia its earnings would be proper
tionately increased, and it could we'll
afford todo business on more favorable
basis to all parts of the state. Whether
tie road would prove disposed to grant
the shippers any substantial measure of
relief under such circumstances ia not,
of course, assured. But the spirit of the
road has been decidedly fair one in
most cases, and one would appear to be
justified in indulging the hope that
still more liberal policy would prevail
as circumstances might permit.

THERE is nothing like making your
wants known. Los Angeles has always
been in particularly unfortunate posi-
tion so far as representation at Wash
ington has gone. This city never had a
representative in congress. Other places
could always 60 to some congressman OF
senator, or both, and make their wants
known to the federal government. We
have never had that advantage. Under
these circumstances it was just the
proper thing to do for our people to get
together and make direct outcry in
their own behalf. Representatives are
nothing excepting as they stand for the
people whose they are. Why, the
war of the Revolution was fought on
the issue of no taxes where there Is no
representation, and on that principle
revolution would have been justified on

FRIDAY MAY go, 1899.

THE continual floods in the lower
Mississippi valley will do great deal of
damage to all sorts OF crops in that
region. The early vegetable crops will
be mostly destroyed. Such a calamity
is thing to deplore on all accounts.
But none the less is it in point to sug-
gest to our people here that it will cre-
ate large demand for our green stuff,
for our surplus potato crop and our fruit,
too. The potato crop here this year will
not be large, and prices are likely to rule
pretty high.

ADJUSTMENTS.

There was very large audience at
the performance of DR.. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde by Mr.. Richard Mansfield and his
company last night. 1t is dramatiza-
ton of Stevenson's morbidly curious
and fantastic story, and the difficulties
in the way OF impersonating the leading
roles lay mostly in the interpretive
nature of the work. Mr.. Mansfield
maintained the characteristics of du-
ality with the finished perfection of the
true actors art. The individuality OF
the two distinct identities was marvel
ously we'll maintained. In fact, Mr..
Mansfield really possesses histrionic
genius, and he has exemplified the fact
ably limned during the week. The
other players in this somber drama.
especially Mr.. Hankins as DR.. Lanyon.
and Miss Hudspeth as Agnes were thor.
oughly in keeping with the high standard
of excellence required.
1t was worthy of especial note that
the same artistic appreciation of the
niceties of detail in accessories, in the
power of light and shade properly bal
anced, were noticeable again last even
ing.
Mr.. Mansfield will be seen tonight in

scene takes place. On Saturday matt

Fluff the Crawfsher.

The case of Huff VS. Donley was de-
cided in Justice Lewis court last week
in favor of plaintiff. This is the case
in which II. V. Huff, who is a night
man at the Mo. P. depot in this city.
sued J. M. Donley Of the Farmers s.
Merchants Bank for $50 stake money
which Huff put up in Mr.. Donley's
hands against $50 put up by G. F. Diff
fenbacher, Huff betting that Long
would be elected and Mr.. Diffenbacher
betting that Simpson would be elected.
For many weeks before the election
Huff was one of the loudest mouthed
and most obtrusive and offensive par
tizans; boring men with his offers to
bet; telling them they had no sand,
calling all men who opposed the repub-
lican party calami'vites, etc, and car
ried an advertisement in an evening
paper Offering to bet tia, Long would
beat the ''sockless IDIOT" He found
men to cover all the money he would
put up. After the election, when every
body conceded that Simpson was cleo.
ted and Long defeated, he, Huff, de-
manded the money he put up from the
shareholders. Some of it was returned
to him by gentlemen who did not de-
sire to be mixed up in legal contro-
versy; but Mr.. Donley declined to let
him draw his stakes unless Mr.. Diffen-
bacher consented, which he would not
do, knowing he had honestly won the
bet and that had the election goue the
other way Huff would have claimed
the bet. Outside of one or two men,
there is no one in the city. regardless
of politics, who does not condemn the
action of the fellow in thus crawfishing
after all the bluff and blow he made
about wanting to stake his money; and
for the reason that his act is so univer-
sally condemned, and to show how lit
tie some men can be, we have written
thus at length concerning the unsavory
affair.

DEMOCRATIC PAPERS IN KANSAS.

The result of the election has made
democratic newspapers in Kansas more
property then they were a
year ago. A popular majority of the
votes of the United States of over a
half a million, and a majority of the
states, together with nearly 800 of the
444 of the electoral college have joined
in the election of Grover Cleveland,
the friend of the democratic press in
every state.
The verdict of the people has been
declared in favor of the democratic
party and therefore the assurance is
plain that democratic editors are en-
titled to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness in Kansas as well as else
where in this LAND of the free and
home of the brave.'
A few misguided leaders OF the peo-
pies party in this state had for two
years past adopted and adhered to a
policy to control, weaken or destroy
the democratic press. This was not
done because the democratic editors of
Kansas had been untrue to the people
but was determined upon and followed
as political expedient for party sue
cess. They really were more in SYM
patty with the democratic newspapers
than with the republican newspapers
but they thought they saw in the demo-
cratic press barrier in the path to
their success. So the order went forth
as "a war measure" to capture the
democratic newspapers and through
assemblies and lodges the command
was acted upon. Many a democratic
paper in Kansas became political
prisoner. Not few changed their
politics and some changed their name
while others were wiped off the face of
the political map. Capital invested,
the honorable ambitions of editors and
their legitimate means of making a
living had to take the uneven chances
of contest with secret lodges that
their profession, if not their DISPOSE
ton. barred them from entering. But
that common sense that never deserts
1.-THE masses of the common people of all
parties gradually detected the folly OF
such course and the result of the
election buries it with similar issues
raised against the democratic press in
the days of knownothingism.
| A boycott of democratic newspaper
in an alliance lodge or convention to-
day would be an impossibility that the
rankest socialist would not attempt in
Kansas. The nerve and fairness of the
Kansas democratic editors, displayed in
the last campaign, coupled with the
wholesome lesson of the unprecedented
democratic victory in the nation, have
won the respect of the masses of the
peoples party and seasoned and
strengthened the loyalty of democrats
everywhere. Democratic papers in
this bailiwick are worth today every
dollar that has been invested in them
and honestly and fairly conducted in
the interest of the whole people they
will appreciate in value and influence
from year to year.-Paola Western
