This unanimous Endorsement OF democratic
candidates IS probably due 90 the recent action
Of tho Lutheran leaders in recommending that
the German Lurhcruns support the entire dem
ocratic ticket To the end that democratic con.
troll Of the legislature might be secured and the
repeal o. the compulsory school law thereby
assured Tnc county returns show that the
tarin question is still live issue with the farm
crs. and that tho democrats have gained about
the same advantage in the agricultural districts
over the agitation % this issue that they real
lied two years ago. 10 Is probable therefore
that the democrats will retain their majority in
the congressional delegation.

Los Angeles herald., 1892-10-03
THAT SALT LAKE ROAD.

james Campbell Telegraphs That His
Enterprise Is All Right.
The HERALD announced some days ago
that Mr.. James Campbell had gone to
San Francisco on business connected
with his long-cherished project of build
ing railroad from Los Angeles to Salt
Lake City, which would develop the vast
coal and iron deposits to be found in Me-
vada and Utah, and which, it is con-
ceded, would do more to advance Los
Angeles than any other project.
The HERALD received telegram from
Mr.. Campbell last night, in which he
stated that he would prolong his stay in
San Francisco for week, owing to the
complete success of his plans, and that
there was every reason for asserting that
the enterprise was now on such foot
ing that there could be no reasonable
doubt as to its early contamination.
The HERALD will in few days be
able to give further details of the mat
ter, which is of the first importance to
Southern California. Observers of the
economic conditions which prevail on
this coast, see that the building Of this
line will be sure to make Los Angeles
the metropolis of California. 1t will
bring together cheap iron ore and cheap
fuel in inexhaustible amounts, and will
enable this city, as a manufacturing
center, to successfully compete with any
place. More than this, it will form the
shortest and most pleasant overland
route to the esst, and will bestir busi-
ness as nothing else could. Mr.. Camp
bell has, with characteristic pertinacity,
staid with this proposition. refusing to
allow any obstacle or difficulty to make
him waver. He has had full confidence
all along that he could succeed, and il
now is to everyone's interest to hope
that he has brought matters to the
point.

HE SHOULD BE. JAILED.
A Low WRETCH WHO MAKES LIT
TIE GIRLS HIS VICTIMS.
The Disclosure Made in Letter to the
Chief Of Police-Any Person Know
ing Anything About the Of
fender Should Tell.

Every once in a while an instance
comes to the surface of the totally de-
praved natures of some men. The class
which has for it's peculiar idiosy
the debauching of little girls, has had
some illustrations in Los Angeles. and
Chief Glass has received letter which
shows that there is one man now in the
city who is liable to get himself into
very serious trouble by allowing his
vicious tendencies free sway.
The letter, which was addressed to the
chief, states that it is from the mother
Of two little girls 9 and 10 years old re-
epectively. They are innocent girls, the
mother says, and told her one day about
fellow who keeps small shop on
Broadway who gave them presents.
Something they let drop caused the
mother to question the little ones, and
she learned to her astonishment and
alarm that the shop keeper had been
acting in manner which would Justify
a coat of tar and feathers.
The girls stated that the man asked
them if they did not like fruit, and gave
them some. He finally coaxed them
into his back room, where he kissed
them and acted towards them in very
familiar manner, hugging and fondling
them. The girls said they liked the
man, but not the way he kissed them
and caressed them.
In her letter the mother says she is
convinced that the fellow had not
harmed her children, and they had
promised her never to 60 there again,
but she felt that it was her duty to
notify the police, because she had no
ticed several young girls around his
shop, and had no doubt he was enticing
them into his back room Just as he had
done her daughters.
There have been complaints before,
the chief stated, about this fellow, but
he conducts his questionable practices
so slyly that it has been almost impos-
sible for the police to catch him in q
manner that would make good case
against him. He is very sharp, and,
knowing what short Bhrift he would
have at the hands of outraged parents or
citizens If he is caught in the act of
attempting to debauch little children,
he times his invitations to his little vic
tins when there is no one around.
