SANTA MONICA.

The Weather Continues Delightful-Lo-
cal Incidents.
SANTA MONICA, Sept. 1.-THE delight
full September weather is having good
effect in keeping many of our summer
guests with us, and it is to be hoped
that many will remain the whole year,
for after all, the finest months of the
year here, are from October to May.
The local sports are preparing for
duck and other shooting, getting every
thing in readiness for October 1st, when
the game season commences.
The Mexicans and their friends duly
celebrated the anniversary of Mexican
independence, at the cafIon, in becom-
ing manner, by a barbecue, games and
dancing. W. o. Baxter was the lead
ing spirit in getting up the celebration.
Speaking about politics, puts your
correspondent in mind of pretty good
story which is going the rounds on
Brother r. R. Tanner, who was an ar
dent supporter of T.. A. Lewis, at the
late Republican convention, and So
journed during the long-winded
affair at the Hollenbeck hotel.
1t seems one of the supporters of
Lewis was 30 anxious to see what the
papers had to say on the Gay the audi
torship vote took place that be left a
notice at the Office to be called at a.
m. so as to 60 over to the Offices and get
the morning papers. The boy got the
wrong room number and belabored
Brother Tanners door most persistently,
finally awakening the seaside statesman,
who was dreaming about the glorious
results of Republican rule. After gath
ering together his faculties, falling over
several chairs, upsetting the water
pitcher and awakening the house gener-
ally, he demanded of the boy what he
wanted. The boy answered, "there's
call at the Office for you." There was
then heard echoing throughout the
morning air the deep voice Of the city
attorney, as he yelled: "You id fool,
don't read the CallI'
The wharf building is progressing
finely, over 1000 feet being now built.
Every body is making preparations for
the grand day we all expect to have on
the 25th.
The Republicans all talk harmony,
but their voices have q husky tone, and
their eyes a sad far-away look in them.

Clifton Forge.

The occasional visitor to Clifton Forge
is apt to be more deeply impressed with
the exhibit of the improvements which
have taken place there in the past two
yearssthan would be the case with those
who have resided there continuously or
visited the town at frequent intervals
during that time. The latter class,
seeing the daily growth, are not apt to
fully realize the Importance of the chang
es which have taken place, but to one OF
the former class, who sees today massive
brick business blocks, Industrial plants,
the mammoth railroad shops, elegant
and commodious hotels, churches,
schools, graded streets, water works,
electric lights and all the accessories OF
the most progressive civilization, where
but two or three years ago there was
only small village, surrounded by
forests and an occasional clearing ut
ilized for farming purposes, the change
is truly startling, and would he a credit !.
able ten-years growth in an ordinary
town, but then Clifton Forge can in no
sense be classed as an ordinary town.
What has already been accomplished
is but slight indication of what is in
store for this thriving community
Situated in the centre of rich mineral
district and with railroad facilities fully
equal to the growing trade of its bus
mess and manufacturing establishments,
Clifton Forge is lacking in none OF the
essentials for the upbuilding of a popu-
lous and prosperous town, and to that
point she is rapidly approaching
Yost's Weekly
The above is from the pen of one of
the best informed writer's in Virginia, if
not in the entire country. Major Yost
has always urged the claims of Clifton
Forge as manufacturing center, show
ing beyond question that it was in pos
session of unequaled natural advantages.
His able presentation of these advan-
tages has already bourne fruit, and if
! current rumors are to be credited, great
err things are ir store for us in the near
future

WHAT THE VERDICT MEANS.

WHAT THE VERDICT MEANS.
From the Washington Post.
We do not think that Dad weather or
the operation of the secret ballot or cor
ruption or intimidation at the polls can
be considered as the cause of Mr.. Harri-
sons defeat. Highly as we regard the
President, profoundly as we are convin-
ced of his purity and patriotism, sure as
we are that the honor and dignity of the
country wonld have been safe in his
hands, we still realize that he was de-
feated by the deliberate and intelligent
action of the people. The principles and
policies he advocated did not commend
themselves to the judgment of the coun-
try. His party's theories of government
did not successfully endure the test OF
practical experience. The projected OBJ
jectionable Force Bill was repudiated by
public opinion. The Mckinley tariff,
enacted into law and tried by the stand
ard of actual operation, has produced
harvest of unmixed alarm and discon-
tent Right or wrong, misgui ded or en-
lightened, the country has declared itself
as opposed to the two characteristic
propositions of the Republican regime,
and Mr. Harrison has been rejected, not
because any honest man doubted his in
tegrity, his devotion, or his courage. but
because popular sentiment antagonizes
the schemes to which he and his party
have committed themselves
Men need not delude themselves as to
this. The result of the elections sur
prised Democrats and Republicans alike.
The leaders in each instance were conf>
dent, but, as a matter of fact, both were
COMPOUNDED. The day was carried by
an element which mere politicians cam
not influence and do not understand.
The result was not due to the cupidity
of Mr.. Carriers committee, or the supe>
rior finesse of the Democratic managers.
1t proceeded from a profound popular
conviction far beyond the ken and COM
prehension of campaign managers, and
infinitely outside of their philosophy.
The great, thoughtful, and independent
masses have declared themselves. The
people, more intelligent and more patri-
otto than the machine, have dismissed
the organization that had forfeited their
confidence and respect.
There is nothing else in it. The coun-
try has not definitely retired or perma-
nently installed either party. Republi-
canism has been rebuked, to be sure, but
Democracy is only on probation.

Friends Of The OoIored Race.


The ferocity with which the colored
laborers were treated Sunday at Home>
stead, Pa, must fill with dislnay those
of our colored people who are accustom-
ed to look for their true friends beyond
the limits of their own States. It has
been the delusion of years that republi-
cans are better friends to the colored
race that the democrats. Not that in
dividual republicans were more sym
pathetic or easier bosses. Not that the
trades unions of the Republican States
opened their arms to the colored brother.
But it has been, nevertheless, till recent
ly the belief of the average Southern
colored person that there were better
friends afar than at home. The general
rush at Homestead to kill the colored
workers, merely because they were try
ing to earn living in Republican
State by their labor, will open many
eyes, 1t was sought to kill them in the
streets, and the house in which they
took refuge was wrecked. The Bishop
of New York who proposed prayer in
reference to the lynching of colored per-
sons in the South for crime may well
take note of this Homestead incident
It deserves his attention.
