The HERALD q few days ago showed
that the reason the disgraceful condition
OF Alameda street was not interfered
with by the authorities was because Of
the political influence OF some of those
wretcbed creatures called ''macques''
with the authorities. The council to-
morrow could easily refute any suspicion
that this disgraceful "infuence" affects
any of its members by forcing the police
commission to defer to the wishes Of de-
cent citizens and clear the streets OF the
offensive sights which greet any traveller
by the, Southern Pacific line who enters
the city. The police commission has dis
played remarkable hesitancy in the
matter. Let the council force the issue
and then the city can see if the disgrace
full influence above spoken of exists and
who is under it's control.

THE SANTA FE's LATEST MOVE,

The Santa Fe Railroad company's adj
vent at Santa Monica was tittingly cele.
brated yesterday by the citizens OF that
charming city.
General Manager K. H. Wade by this
latest move on the railroad checker
board has demonstrated himself to be
railroad tactician of farsightedness
and exceptional executive ability. The
building of this road is the most severe
blow the business of the Southern Pa
cific in Southern California has re-
ceived. The, passenger business to and
from the delightful city by the sea has
been something enormous, plum
at which the Santa Fe will now get a
good bite.
While both of the great railroad com.
panies in Southern California avoid a
direct warfare of rates, competition be-
tween them for business is lively and
far-reaching, and in great measure ac-
counts for the prosperity of this part of
the state, for the competition has re-
bounded greatly to the benefit of all our
commercial interests.
The Santa Fe management has been q
novelty to Californians. in that it has
been sympathetic with industries. active
in advancing its own interests by modern
methods, and in an intelligent manner
has been decidedly aggressive. Wherever
its lines have been built development
has been the result, and the consequence
is that even lines which appeared to
be constructed many years in advance
Of the demand have turned out to be

PLAYS AND PLAYERS.

Man has been called the Laughing
animal" He is the only animal who
has the ability to laugh, and naturally
he likes to have the opportunity also.
Sorrow is unwelcome; tears come un-
sought for; tragedy in every form is
repellant to the human heart and mind.
The daily life of the average American is
full of trouble--small and great-for
there is no particular humor in money
getting, and that is what the average
American is engaged in. There is not
much comedy in life. anyway. 1t is an
emotional drama, when it is not ira
gedy. That is the reason why the pub
lie prefers comedy to tragedy at our
theatere, and this is the reason why the
comedian today is the most prosperous
of people. There are those of the old
school who deplere this condition of our
stage, and they mourn at the decline
of the drama," declaring that the stage
has gone to the demnition bow-wows,
and shedding copious tears over Shakes
peare's grave at Stratford. But these
persons are awfully in the minority.
There is not enough of them even in
New York city to keep one theater
devoted to the legitimate drama open.
The fact of the matter ia the preat mass
of the play-goers want to 60 to the
theater to laugh, and when there is
nothing on the boards of our theatres to
make them laugh they have Q faculty of
remaining at home.
These observations have been inspired
by the announcement OF the return at
the Los Angeles theater, on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday nights, OF that
master spirit of the modern farce, Frank
Daniels, who is such great favorite on
this coast, and who has just finished
remarkably :s--ccccessful engagement at
the new California theater, in San Fran
cisco. Mr.. Daniels has always Been as.
sociated with the best OF modern farces,
and he has always been surrounded by
clever and attractive people. He is
comedian of most droll and original
methods, and probably has no equal
as farceur on this continent.
Little Puck will be presented with a
cast almost entirely new to Los Angeles.
Miss Bessie Samson still remains as the
leading female support to the COM

Miss Hilda Thomas, the we'll known
prima donna; Miss Julie Kingeley, the
famous serpeptine dancer, and the
original Clipper quartette of vocalists

The prime Importance to Los Angeles
and Southern California of the building
of railway from this city to Salt Lake
should not be lost sight of for moment.
With that completed there is no reason
able doubt but that Los Angeles in

on this coast, putting San Francisco in
second place. Mr.. James Campbell, the
railroad builder, who has, as those we'll
know who are familiar with the inside
history of railroad development here
abouts, done great things for Los An

he can find the balance OF the capital

CLEVELAND WON'T BE THERE.
He Declines tie Invitsstion to he Present at the Worlds Fair Dedicatory
 Servlces

CHIcAGo, Oct. EEK President Cleveland has sent to Secretary Culp a letter m which he declines to be pres ent at the Worlds Fair dedicatory ex- ercises.
 The text of Mir. Cleveland's letter is as follows:
 c. Culp, Esq, Secretary: MY DEAR SIR-My response to your courteous invitation to attend the dedication cer- emonies of the Worlds Columbian ex- position has long been delayed should be very glad to be present OH this interesting occasion and thus show my appreciation of its importance, if l could do so solely as an eX-president of the United States. 1 am sure how ever, that this is impossible. and l am unwilling to undertake the trip, which from beginning to end, despite all efforts on my part, would be regarded as a political tour. made by a candidate for the presidency. My general aver sion to such trip is overwhelmingly increased in this particular instance, when 1 recall the effective dispensation which detains at the bedside of his sick wife another candidate for the presidency. l have thus frankly stated the reasons which constrain me to forego the satisfaction which the ac- ceptance of your invitation would other wise afford me. hope in the light of a considerate and sympathetic seDti. ment. which ought to be felt by all eul people, that these consideTat will be deemed abundant justification oi my action.
 Yours very truly,

Federal Inspsction- A Trap Set for
 Our Election Officers.
 Littlc Rock Gazette.
 Judge Mcclure. as chief of fe leral supervisors Of elections, lias issued his instructions Co inspectors.
 Some time ago we exposed the Obiect of the Peoples party leaders, who have been foremost in the demand for fed. rral supervisors. hoping to in some way punish the voters of Arkansas for defeating their ticket in Septenl- Der. This object is to enable the fed eral supervisors to virtually slpersede the judges of election appointed and acting under our new election law, The ciirf supervisor makes this quota tiOn from the law:
 If the voter shall not have c0fB- pIeted the preparation of the ballot within the time allowed live mlnutesl he may call upon the judges tn assist in it's preparation. or he can withdraw after having returned to the judges the ballot delivered tO llbn."
 This is followed by his construction or interpretation of that provision, to- wit:
 If under this provision of the law the judges are called upon Co prepare the ballot of the elector, you will take such position as will enable you to Ste whether the ballot is prepared as the voter requests. lt 1t IS not so pre- pared you will report the name of such elector to tlIe chief supervisor, together with the name of the judge or judges who may have marked the ballot con- trary to the request of the voter. If you are in any manner interfered with hn thus discharging your duty, report that fact ard the names of the persons so interfering"
 The federal supervisor who thus takes such a position as will enable him to see how a ballot is prepared by judge in private booth will violate the state election law. He has q right 60 remain at the ballet box, and per form all the duties prescribed by the federal statutes. Bat the box and the private booths are remote from each other, and the federal supervisor who sumes that it Ms business to practl- cally act as a judge of election in ad- dition to performing his legitimate Gu- ties will not fail to get into trouble.
 The election officers know the law, and will not be frightened by any in disidtial constructions or high-sound- ing threats about violating the federal statutes. It is the duty of tue judges and other officers of election under our state law to obey and enforce that law, and they will certainly keep the fact in mind that the chief supervisor IS not d court of justice empowered to pass on it's consttutionality.
 The trap the Gazette exposed. and which has been set in the body of the federal instructions, will not catch any nels sons but its inventors.

UNDER the terms of the deal close

UNDER the terms of the deal closed Wednesday between the republicans and populites, the republicans will vote for the Peoples party candidates in the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth districts for presidential electors, and in the First and Second districts the populites will vote for the republican candidates. The Peoples party state convention nominated eight electoral candidates and certified their nomina- sions to the secretary of state. On Wednesday Secretary Sutler of the Peoples party had four names stricken from the list. This leaves them free to vote for the republican candidates at-large and in the two districts sng- gested. Thus the populites, who claim to be democrats, will have to vote for Powell Clayton's tools or get out of the alleged party. It seems Brer Feath- erston will deliver the goods, after all

IN his pronunciamento to his 2000 deputy federal supervisors Poker Jack Mcclure declares the Arkansas cleo ton law unconstitutional, and instructs his henchmen, to ignore it. Who or what constituted Mcclure the supreme court of the state or the United States, that he thus passes upon the laws of Arkansasy Such high-handed pre- cpeding is intolerable and the people will not submit to it. McClure's ap- pointment as chief federal supervisor does not carry with it the functions of aceurt of final appeal. The constitu- tionality of the law has never been passed upon by court of competent jurisdiction, and the deputy who fol- lows McClure's instructions will prove himself fool and be made to suffer for it.

 OBITUARY,
 Died Friday, October If. at , o'clock D. m., A. G. Swinea in the 49Ih year of his age. Esquire Swinea was born Novenl- Der l5, lS43. In early life he united with the Methodist church, of which he remained a member until 1888, when he united with the Church of Christ, of which he was a consistent member until his death. He leaves wife and four clil- dren to mourn his loss, and in their great aiilietion they have the sympathy of the entire community. His mortal body was tenderly laid to rest On Saturday after noon at s o'clock. A large concourse of sorrowiug friends, neighborS and rcla- tives had assembled to pay their last trib- ute of respect to his remains. His death was not unexpected, for he had suffered with serious illness for several weeks yet it was shock to the entire commun- ty. In his death the wife and children lost kind and loving husband and father. the community one of its best citizens and the church loved and respected elder. The congregation of Disciples at this place feel this loss is irreparable: yet, as God chasteneth whom he loveth," they trust that in sustaining so great loss their hearts may be sanctiftd anew to the Father who giyeth and who taketh away. The mortal body was tenderly borne to the graveyard by loving and sorrowing friends on Saturday afternoon. Here was gathered large coneourse of people, as senlbled to pay their last tribute of re- spect 10 his remains. The funeral ser vices were conducted by Elder $. II. Brown of Little Rock. who preached an impressive and eloquent sermon of com fort and consolation to the bereaved and of admonition to those who live without hope of a resurrection.

MI0uIGAN's electoral law has been declared constitutional by the supreme court of the United States, and is probably one of the most important and far-reaching decisions ever handed down from that tribunal. The Miehi- gan law provides for the selection of members of the electoral college by congressional districts instead of the state-at-large, as is the case with all the other states.

RECONSTRUCTION REVIVED,
Poker Jacks Pronuncinmentc to Ills Dep
 uty Supervisors

tp HIS
 uty Supervisors.
 LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. lo.-The prospects for turmoil and bloodShed in every precinct in this state mn election day are of the most ruenacing char acter, because of the pronunciamento just set forth by Chief Federal Super visor of Elections John Mcclure. known since the days of reconstruction as Poker Jack Mcclure, who, assisted by two clerks. is btsily engaged in ap- pointing supervisors of election and forwarding them instructions.
 Fifty-oDe of the seventy-fiye counties in the state have petitioned for tue ap- pointment of these officials. He expects to appoint about 2000 supervisors. The instructions be is sending 10 his ap- pointees are different from thuse of any chief supervisor in any other state ia the union.
 Mcclure contends that the Arkansas election law iii some of its prov isions is unconstitutional and tue instructions he is sending to the supervisors. If obeyed, are certain Co result in a seri- ous clash. The following are the in- structions upon tle point in which the state election law is ignored:
 The aet of 1891 declares: Any eiec- tor who shall tell the judges that he cannot read or write. or by reason of physical disability he is unable to mark his ballot, may have the assistance of two ot the judges in the preparation of his ballot, who, in the presence of bhe elector and in the presence of each other, shall prepare, his ballot for him as he wishes to vote it. But before any such elector shall bc required or permitted to tell how he wishes his ballot to be made up, or for whom he wishes to vote, all electors, including those in the booths, shall be reqnired to withdraw from the polling-room.
 If such person as is described in the section last quoted should apply to the judges of election to have his bal lot prepared, you will not leave the room. Ton have right to see all that the judges and clerks of election do ill the discharge of ay duty imposed on them by law. The marking of bal lot for Il voter who. cannot read or write is q duty enjoinets on the judges by the act of 1891. It may, and, no doubt, will be urged that, to allow yon to witness whether the ballot is marked in accordance with the wish or desire of the voter would destroy it's secrecy. The law itself destroys it's secrecy when it requires an elector, before de- posting his ballot in the box. to state in the presence of two of the judges for whom he desires to vote. If tho judges of the election are called upon to prepare ballot for an elector you have the right to remain in snch po- sition as will enable you to see whether the ballot is prepared in accordance with the direction of She elector."
