Special Correspondence to the HERALD.
SANTA MONICA, March IL.
The opposition forces have placed
their ticket in the field for the position
OF members of the board of trustees; it
comprises the names of Messrs. Edwin
Potter, retired lawyer who resides
here on Fifth street; j. S. Wilson, a
hardware merchant on Third street, and
Judge James Whitworth, a retired cap
italist. The ticket is strong one, and
from now on the political pot will be
kept at boiling point until the ides of
April.
| There is no change in the situation on
the rest Of the ticket, all the candidates
keeping the citizens of the seaside burgh
well informed on the issues of the town.
There is an amusing side to the contro.
versy caused by the Australian ballot
law, under which the election will take
place, for each candidate has his little
petition which he politely shows to the
dear voter, after they have chatted
pleasantly for a few. moments on the
weather. Southern Pacific work and the
coming of the Santa Fe. Those who
are non.committal will ofttimes walk
around the block to get away from an
aspirant when he is spied coming down
the street like ship under full sail.
| One thing is certain now, and that is
that the voter can take his pick, and
cast his little ballot unmolested when
the election day arrives.
Speaking about politics, made a
quiet canvass of the Democrats in town
lately, and found the great preponder-
ance of sentiment in favor of New
York's great leader, Senator D. B. Hill.
There is considerable talk of organizing
a Hill club as soon as the town political
atmosphere clears off. But there is one
thing we would all like to know before
we pledge ourselves, and that is how
does he stand on the harbor appropria-
tions? For those who think Santa Mon
ca is not in the fight still will get left.

NO CHURCH SCHOOLS AT PUBLIC
EXPENSE,

The great mass of Americans are I'M
alterably opposed to all attempts, direct
or indirect, to divert public school funds
to the support of sectarian schools.
The state. the church and the schools
also would be greatly injured if not de-
stroyed by such diversion. General
Grant, when president of the United
States, saw the danger of an attempt
like this, and proposed an amendment
that should forever prevent it. Mr..
Blaine, then member of the house of
representatives, introduced the bill into
that body and it was passed almost
unanimously. By some strange influ-
ence the bill was killed in the senate. A
measure has recently been presented to
congress providing for a sixteenth
amendment to the constitution, as fol
lows:
NO state shall pass any law respecting
an establishment of religion or prohibit
ing the free exercise thereof, or use its
property or credit. or any money raised 10y
taxation, or authorize either TO be used
for the purpose of founding, maintaining
or aiding by appropriation. payment for
services, expenses or otherwise, any
church, religious denomination or relig
ious society, or any institution, society OF
undertaking which is wholly or in part
under secEarian or ecclesiastical control -
About the only point or department OF
the country or government that really
needs such protection is the United
States goyernment-instance the con.
tracts made by the Indian bureau fol
the conduct and maintenance of certain
territorial schools. There is little danger
that any such departure will ever be
made or tolerated by any state. The
absence Of any apparent necessity foI
such a constitutional inhibition may
serve to defeat the proposed amendment
but no good argument can be advanced
against it.

BLAINE NOT A CANDIDATE.

The announcement contained IN Hon.
James G. Blaine's letter to Hon. John S.
Clarkson, given in this mornings dis
patches, that ne is not candidate for
president and that his name will not go
before the national Republican conven-
ton, will be a source of regret if not sur
prise to many thousands of the great
stateman's friends and admirers. There
are thousands of citizens of this country
who will never become recOnciled to Mr..
Blaine's failing to succeed to the presl-
dency. Mr. BIaine's declination is made
in all sincerity, and it will no doubt be
so accepted Notwithstanding the disap-
pointment it will occasion. And it
would seem that this act should practi-
caliy settle the question of the candi-
dacv and succession in favor Of Presl-
dent Harrison; still, this is free coun-
try and there are no bars to political
preferment against any eligible citizen
of the republic and it is not improbable
that there will be other aspirants for the
distinguished honor.

WEBSTER AND SUMNER.

Senator o. H. Bentley of this city de-
livered recently a speech on ELECTION
Methods" at the Young Mems Christian
Association hall in Wichita. In this
speech is found the following eloquent
passage, which we reproduce:
Charles Sumner, of ever fragrant
memory. succeeded Webster in the
United States senate. He entered the
senate in 1851. Henry Clay left the SEN
ate on the day that Sumner was sworn
in, 1t is related of Sumner that when
he made his first great plea for human
freedom and justice under the constitu-
ton. the God-like Daniel was present
upon the floor of the senate. Worn,
wasted. sad, with powers so great and
public service so owned. the olympian
man. the world-renowned orator, the
Demosthenes of the new world, who had
sought 50 long, so strenuouslv, so ar
IDENTIFY. so ABLY, and 50 vainiy To placate
the implacabie. His seventy years had
ended in bitter baffled hopes and an al
most broken heart. Webster gaZed with
eyes of depthless melancholy. I'M
utterable sorrow, but with
glow of pride upon Charles
Sumner, his successor. And there stood
Charles Sumner. that successor. the
glow of youth upon his cheek. and the
fire Of freedom in his eve. The indomi-
table puritan. dauutiess. towering, radi-
ent, intrepid, Sumner spoke as one hav-
ing authority. as a lawyer, as a states
man. as a patriot and as prophet Of
the olden time. Not for his own bay
state alone. not for New England. bu.
for his countrv. for liberty. for equality.
for Justice, for human rights, and for
universal freedom. As the great Web
ster looked and listened, his mind went
back to the words OF the younger man,
uttered seven wears before IN tanuel hall

party which Webster led, 10 declare for
the emancipation Of the slave. Tie re-

HILLS TWELVE THOUSAND TICKETS

The "tough" element of Chicago Is for
David Bennett Hill. The Chicago con-
vention is regarded as a Hill scheme.
One of Hills Chicago friends says that
after they hustled for the convention for
Chicago five years ago they only re-
ceived $50 tickets to the convention
hall, but this year they are assured OF
1900. This is terrible. Twelve thou
sand tickets! G.. Cleveland should seek
out dark closet and find repose and
ease to an overburdened spirit IN the
luxury of bitter tears. Twelve thou
sand Threats to remain ominously silent
when the nominating orator yells, 1.-The
tariff is a tax" and to burst out into
wild, ELUSIVE, unnamed, unreined, de-
moniacal thunder at 81 am Democrat. }"
A convention of S0per cent audience
and 20 per cent delegates might be term
ed deliberative, and Grover might be In
it.
A convention of 81 per cent audience
and per cent delegates is no longer de-
Lucrative, but a bowling, shrieking
mob, which will listen to only what it
wants. 1t is just David Bennett Hills
complexion.

Senator Teller's bill to admit Utah as
a state is treated by a majority of those
familiar with the situation in that terri
tory, as a blind to conceal his real pur-
pose, which, it is said, is to gain for the
cause of silver, in case the bill should
carry, new aid through the senators
from that state. 1t would certainly be
purchasing such support dearly if bought
with such a price. Polygamy is not
dead in the Norman church, only dor
mant through fear of certain punish
ment from the Federal authorities, and
not until the knife has been put deep and
the cancerous growth utterly extripated
will Utah be fit for the great sisterhood.

RUSSIAN DISTRESS.

The report of Minister Charles Emory
Smith to the state department as to the
extent and severity of the famine that
afflicts the Russian empire fully con-
firms the worst that has been told of the
most terrible visitation of the kind in
modern times. Throughout a vast
region of European Russian the peas
antry are starving, and the utmost
efforts of state and local authorities
have failed to supply adequate sus-
tenance.
Meantime nearly three millions of
pounds of flour, contributed by charit-
able people in the United States, is
awaiting transportation to the famine
stricken Russians. The government was
asked a short time ago to transport this
contribution to that country, but it de-
clined. About this time the Russian
government announced that it was able
to take care of its suffering subjects, and
this announcement no doubt had the
effect largely to cause the public III this
country to lose much of the interest that
had been worked up in that behalf.
But it does seem that there ought to be
some means devised to get the supplies
already collected and in waiting to the
benefciaries, either by supplementing
the subscriptions in hand with sufficient
cash to carry the supplies forward, or by
selling enough of the stock on hand to
transport the balance to its destination
1t is doing no good where it is and never
will, as long as it remains there.

shape of a recommendation TO congress

and enacted into law. The committee
after careful examination unanimously
endorsed and recommended the TORY
bill-that was before the last congress
hut which failed of enactment-as en-
bodying the ideas and views of the

Mr.. {. Wood Davis the report of the
committee was received by the board
and its recommendation concurred in
unanimously and amid applause. The
TORY bill will be pressed for passage by
the present congress.

Chilian Judge Foster is reported as
saying that his one regret is that he did
not fix the responsibility for Higgins
death in the Valparaiso riot. If the
Judge had had the Balitimores men who
witnessed the assassination before him to
testify he would have had no difficulty
in fixing the responsibility. In the alb
sence of any such direct proof it is next
TO wonderful that enough was proven to
call for any penalty to be imposed upon
any of the Gillian assailants.

For some reason, when we are at our
gayest and happiest, we think OF death
less and fear it little. Still if we think
gavety or Joy exempts us, we are indeed
foolish, But when death does intrude
in places of mirth, it makes terrible i'm
preston. The death of Kittie Shaw, the
beautiful and popular belle of Pittsburg,
who fell dead on the ball room floor at a
reception, Friday night, is, by its very
contrast more terrible than the most re-
voting murder.

Honest, Intelligent, Fearless.

From the Valley Center Journal.
A great deal is being said pro and con about
the candidacy of VI. NJ. Murdoch for governor.
The Journals youth makes it timid about
speaking out in the presence of its elders, but
we believe the Republican party could not find
a better standard bearer in 1892, nor one more
acceptable to the majority OF the Republican
voters. We believe him TO be honest inteiI-
gent, fearless and loyal Kansan in whose
patriotism there is no guile, and moreover he
represents the great Arkansas valley that
hitherto has been ignored in the choice of men
for gubernatorial honors. If he should be
nominated and elected we believe he viii do
honor to himself Sedgwick county and
Kansas.
From the johnson City Journal.
Marsh Murdoch Of the Wichita EAGLE is a
candidate for gubernatorial honors. The EAGLE
is one of the leading dailies of the west and It's
editor will have a large following among the
