their dislike for a stringent enforcement
of the prohibitory law is also obvious
enough we think.
The result can be interpreted in no
other way than that the majority of the
people who voted yesterday are opposed
to vigorous enforcement of the liquor
law. 1t is no use to attempt to disguise
this fact. It does not necessarily follow
of course that majority of the voters of
this city are of that mind, for there
were good many voters unregistered
and considerable number of those who
were registered did not vote. The fact
stands out, however, that a majority of
the voters who took part in the very spir
tied contest of yesterday voted against a
faithful enforcement of the liquor law
and voted in condemnation of an official
who has done only what his oath OF office
obliged him to do, and who richly
deserved from every right minded person,
irrespective of his views of the wisdom OF
the prohibitory law, the highest COM
mendation for his fidelity and courage.
Believers in the prohibitory law and it's
vigorous enforcement might as well look
these facts in the face and heed the les
sons which they teach, namely, that there
is a very large body of people in this town
who are determined to prevent a stringent
enforcement of the prohibitory law, that
they are ready to work vigorously and
persistently to that end, and that they
can be defeated, if defeated at all, only by
work as vigorous and persistent. Ser
mons and addresses and essays on prohi-
bition are all well enough in their way,
but to be effective they must be supple
mented by vigorous work among the

THE CITY ELECTION.

The contest in this city yesterday
which resulted in the election of Mr..
Darius III. Ingraham was not decided
upon any issue properly belonging to a
municipal campaign. Mr.. Ingraham was
elected Mayor not because he was deemed
the superior, or even the equal, IN
character OF ability to manage the city's
affairs, of Mr.. George w. True. Neither
was he elected Mayor because the ma
iority of the people of this town think
the political party to which he belongs
more competent, or as competent, to
conduct the city affairs as the Republi-
cans. The fact is the Democratic cam
paign was made on an issue which really
had no place in municipal election and
which cannot be affected directly by the
result. There was kept up to be sure in
the Democratic organ show of discuss
ing municipal issues, but it was mere
pretence. The real groundwork of the
campaign on which the Democrats relied
and on which they have won their victory
was the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory liquor law. 1t cropped out
in MI. Ingraham's speech of accept
ance, and it cropped out more unmis-
takably in Mr.. E. c. Swetts speech at
the banquet of the Young Mems Demos
cratic Club. 1t was circulated from
mouth to mouth that Ingraham's election
would promote the defeat of Sheriff
Cram in the fall, and in case the latter
was defeated and a Democratic sheriff
elected would put the prohibitory law
entirely in Democratic hands. Every
man who is now engaged in selling rum
and every man who wants to sell rum
seized upon this issue with great enthu-
siasm and worked like beaver to get
every man whom he could influence to
the polls to vote for Ingraham. Along
with these voted the so called liberal
element which believes in what it calls
a "iudicious" enforcement of the law
but is always ready to kick when the
law is vigorously enforced as it has been
the past year. OF course there were a
considerable number of people who
voted for Ingraham simply because he
was the regular Democratic candidate,
without thinking much or caring
much about him, but the real force
which carried him into the Mayors chair
was opposition to the vigorous enforce
ment of the prohibitory law. That
some Republicans assisted in lngra-
hams election is obvious. The
Democratic vote is not big enoughin this
town to elect Mayor without help
That these Republicans, or many OF them
were influenced to do as they did by

TUESDAY, MARCH 8.

1t seems about as certain as anything
in the future can be that the Gladstonians
will sweep Great Britaian at the next
General election, and control Parliament
by a much bigger majority than any
party has had for many years. Even in
London which is almost always conser-
vative the tide is strongly setting toward
the Gladstonians.

The Republicans lost the Board of
Aldermen yesterday largely through
factional fights in their own ranks. -Four
of the wards which they lost
are strongly Republican and had the
Republicans voted for their candidates
there would have been no trouble. But
for various reasons, none of them good
ones, they saw fit to slaughter their own
candidates. The result is that every de-
partment of the government is turned
over to the Democrats to be filled with
inexperienced and very likely incom-
petent men. Before the year is through
these Republican kickers will probably
feel like kicking themselves.

Mayor-elect Ingraham has now chance
to redeem the profuse promises he has

friends have been making for him.
These promises, made directly or indi-
rectly. are: To reduce taxation; to
abolish the liquor agency; to promote
trade and commerce; to establish maui
featuring industries; to give Sunday
band concerts; and to repeal the law
relating to peddlers. From time to time
we shall inform the public in regard to
the progress which MI. Ingraham is
making.

Judge }. O. BrCadhead. of St. Louis;
j. K. Hickey, OF Washington, and P. B.
Thompson, of New York, are in the CITY
for the purpose Of preparing the papers
in most important land case that is to
be tried before the United States land
court, whose session will begin in Dem
yer Oct. Is.
The case involves tract of land 150
miles long and fifty miles wide in the
Salt River valley, Arizona. There are
4,750,O00 acres in the claim, large part
of which is capable of irrigation. By
the expenditure of $5,0OO,OOO it is esti-
mated by engineers that the land will
be worth $50,000,000. The city of Phn-
nix is located on the grant, and the cell
ebrated ruins of the Casa Grande are
also in its boundaries. Remains of pre-
historic irrigation bitches show that the
land was once under high cultivation.
The case promises to attract general
attention on account of the amount in
volved and the romance of it's history.
From the records which are found in
the City of Guadalajara, Mexico, it is
shown that the land was granted in 1742
by Emperor Ferdinand of Spain to Don
Miguel Peralta, Spanish Knight of the
Golden Fleece and baron of Colorado
The knight was highly esteemed at
court for his bravery and his distin-
guished services in protecting Spanish
settlements from attacks of Indians and
native tribes of Mexico. His sole de-
scendant is the wife of j. A. Peralta
Reavis, resident of Missouri, in whose
name the contest is to be made.
By the terms of the treaty of Guada-
lupe Hindalgo and the terms of the
Gadsden purchase all the old Mexican
titles are guaranteed by the United
States government, and if the contestee
is successful she will be paid 81. .25 per
acre for all the land occupied by settlers
The land includes the Pima Indian
reservation, part of the White noun
tain Indian reservation, and many valu-
able mining districts.-Denver Cor. st.

SANTA ANA, Oct. 25.-The morning ses-
sion of the superior court was devoted to
hearing argument in the Wells assault
case and the judges charge to the jury.
The jury retired at II 8. M, and at 2 p.
m. returned verdict OF guilty as
charged. This case has been occupying
| the attention of the superior court for
the past week, and was bitterly contest
| ed throughout. The charge of assault
was OF the most aggravated character,
having been committed on Bradley
Sparks, Wells stepson. The accused hit
the lad on the shoulder with stone, bad
ly injuring him. Sentence will be pro-
nounced Friday morning, and in the
mean time Wells is within the classic
walls of the city prison. The verdict of
the jury meets with the highest ap-

He showed clearly who it was that paid

Charles e. Wolfe Not Believed to Be
the Man.
A POM 9na paper contains the follow
ing about Mr.. Wolfe, formerly of this
city:
Charles E. Wolfe, quiet, industrious
man, who has been in Pomona for year
and has been employed by the fruit pack
ing firm of Loud & Gerling, WAS arrested
and tried last week on the charge that,
one night last week, he rushed from a
dark spot upon Miss Maggie Bowers and
squeezed her while she was walking on
the street with her mother. The sus-
picion was that he might be the Jack, the
Squeezer, for whom our police and 9TH
ers have been looking for over a year.
Mr.. Wolfe proved such good record by
his employers and landlord and set up
such an alibi by companion, that the
jury stood nine for acquittal and three
for conviction, Notwithstanding the
Identification and charges of Mrs. Bow
ers and her daughter. Nine out of ten
of the people who heard the trial are
sure that Mr.. Wolfe has been wrongfully
accused.
