hang for nine hours day and for many
days at time. One case of which he in
formed them was that of johnson. who had
been triced up in this position nine hours a
day for 18 days.
Mr.. Osbourn also said that in investiga-
tions of this nature the investigators gener-
ally went into the matter with the idea that
the victims were either not telling the truth
stories. He asked the board not to start out
with this idea, but to begin with the thought
that the boys were worthy of belief until
they were proved otherwise. The Senator
then spoke of the probable difficult
ties that confronted the board
in the investigation. 1t would
be hard, he said, to obtain information from
the present prisoners at the reformatory,
on account Of their fear that if they testified
against the keepers or other persons they
would be under the ban and their life made
miserable BY those against whom they had
given evidence. Both Mr.. Biddle and Mr..
Dickinson agreed with the Senator that this
difficulty would arise, but they saw no way
to prevent it.
Legal Dinaculties to Be Overcome.
The ac. OF Assembly in regard to the mat
ter does not clothe the Board of Charities
with power 10 compel the attendance OF
witnesses or of protecting those who attend
voluntarily. This, Mr.. Osbourn said. he
feared would be stumbling block in the
way of the board, but he was assured by
President Dickinson and Secretary Biddle
that everything would be done to overcome
this obstacle and obtain the fullest informa-
tion possible.
The interview was closed with an invita-
tion to the Senator to be present at Hunt
ingdon next Tuesday and conduct the inves-
tigation himself This he will do, if posi-
BILE, as it is his earnest desire to be on hand
and probe to the bottom himself If he is un-
able to do this he will, however, be on hand
Wednesday, March 30. when an adjourned
meeting OF the board will be held. At this
time the boys who have been released from
the retormatory, including Conlan, johnson
and Woods, will be brought before the
board and examined thoroughly.
Secretary Biddle said to-day that the
whole board had been invited to be present
at the investigation. He could not say,
however, if all would be there, but Messrs.
Ryan, of Shamokin, Starr, of Erie, and
Scott, Of Pittsburg, together with himself,
would certainly be on hand.

Ex-SHERIFF WILLIAM r. Rowland
took the train yesterday for Santa Fe.
His trip is partly for business and to
incidentally visit number OF relatives
he has in that ancient city. Mr.. Row.
lands father, when he was trapper in
the '30s, made Santa Fe his head
quarters. In 1841 he organized q party,
consisting Of William Workman, Don
Benito Wilson, and number of other
pioneers who figured in the early his
tory of Los Angeles, and came to this
valley. The elder Rowland had, in =
trapping expedition, visited Los An
geles in 1889. and was so agreeably inn
pressed with it that he induced his
friends in Santa Fe to start with him
for California. Don Benito Wilson at
first took up ranch in San Bernardino,
but afterwards settled upon lands in
San Gabriel valley, where he remained
the rest OF his life. Rowland and
Workman took up lands in San Jope
valley, at the Puente, where they both
lived till they died, and the former is
now succeeded in the ownership of his
part Of the Puente by his son, Mr..
William r. Rowland.

why NOT GET roGKrHER IN COUNCIL ?

No etep has yet been taken by any
representative body OF our citizens to
seriously consider what we ought to do
in the matter of securing the trade of
Nevada and Utah when that region is
traversed by railroad. We may hear
at any time that the Union Pacific has
determined to resume work upon the
extension of the Utah Central to Phoebe
and on to a connection with the Santa
Fe or the Southern Pacific. General
Clarke, who is now again at the head OF
the Union Pacific, is strong be-
hever in the policy of building
this extension. Had he not been prog
trated by illness at the time when
Charles Francis Adams ordered opera
tions to be suspended on that extension,
he would have exerted his great inf1u-
ence in favor of carrying out the work.
But even should General Clarke'e policy
prevail, unless the Union Pacific is de-
termined to carry its road to tidewater
on the Pacific at Los Angeles, the prob.
abilities would point to close connec-
tion with the Southern Pacific at Mo-
jave, and that would mean the diversion
of the great trade of our interior to San
francisco on the long haul principle.
We are satisfied that ii our people
would take the matter in hand they
could come to an understanding with
the Terminal company which would
enable us to defeat the contamination OF
adeal we SO justly dread. The gentlemen
who have built the Terminal road have
certainly something greater in view
than the mere exploitation of our local
traffic. They have constructed their
road 60 far, with all the expensive and
substantial material and adjuncts that
60 to make up railway Of the very
largest pretentions. As a mere local
road it could have been built far
more economically than it has, and we
have no doubt that its projectors have
the ambitious idea of making it the ter
minal section of transcontinental road.
They have all along had the Nevada
and Utah route in view, not only from
the fact that it is the shortest to trans
continental connections, but because
they knew it would pass through a
region that would give them profitable
traffic clear to Utah.
Ii we are right in our surmise, then
the interests of the Terminal company
and those Of our own people are identi-
cal. Here is basis for negotiation
which might be acted upon, carrying
with it the elements OF successful out
come from the start. The Terminal
people want both our friendly assist
ance and substantial help. We ought
to be able to furnish both. At all
events, we ought to place ourselves at
once in position to be able to do what
will be deemed best in the premises. If
we do nothing and neglect our opportu-
mites, we shall regret our supineness
when it is too late.

A GRAND RATIFICATION.

The demonstration last night was the
crandest affair of the kind ever seen In
this city. The procession was not only
remarkable for its numbers, but for the
enthusiasm which was manifested all
along the line, both in its ranks
and among the immense crowds
that greeted it from the side
walks. No stranger unacquainted with
our local history would have imag-
ined for moment that Los Angeles
was not Democratic city. If indica-
tions 90 for anything the political COM
plexion of this county is undergoing a
change. The four years. campaign OF
education and experience is rapidly
bringing the thinking men. of the oppo-
sition to realization Of the dangers of
the policy of the Republican party.
They see that war taxes in time of peace
are beneficial only to the small class
who are enabled to profit by discrimi-
mating tariff legislation, and that whilst
it is concentrating the wealth of the
country in the hands of the favored few,
it ia impoverishing the masses and op-
pressing labor with a mailed hand.
The spontaneous acclaim with which
the name of Cleveland is received by all
classes shows that the great principle
he represents has taken root in the
hearts of the, people, and augurs the
success OF the ticket which he heads.
Those Republicans who scout at the
idea that the Democracy will carry Cali
fornia this time, have failed to note the
sign of the times. The most conspicuous
examples of detection are to be seen in
all parts of the state. Their iceberg
candidate has chilled the ardor Of thou
sands OF his partisans and sent them
over in battalions to the sup
port of the man whose infexible
firmness, breadth of statesmanship and
purity of conduct have fixed him in the
hearts of his countrymen. Californians
are proverbially VAIN hearted and SYM
pathetic. and the Republicans having
been cheated out of the man of their
choice by the serried columns of the
federal brigade, their disgust is rapidly
leading them over into the support of q
candidate vino was nominated in epite
of the politicians and of organized fac
tion. We are encouraged by last nights
grand demonstration, and from the visi-
BILE signs in the political armament of
the whole state. to predict that Cleve-
land and Stevenson will get the electoral
vote OF California when the ides of No
vember roll round.

In the morning it was astir early. The

Cleveland's picture hung up instead,
and over the badge of Tammany large
portrait of Cleveland was pinned. By

York's headquarters that such a man as
David B. Hill ever existed. They were

OUR WORLDS COLUMBIAN FAIR ILLUS
TRATRD EDITION.

The HERALD will issue worlds Co
lumbian fair edition of the ILLUSTRATED
HERALD. Arrangements have been
made with the most finished artists in
America to insure the greatest perfection
of detail to the illustrations. A quarter
of million copies of this matchless
publication will be issued. 1t will be
printed on heavy book paper, and will
be distributed by uniformed boys during
the progress of the exposition, and the
distribution will be under the direction
OF an intelligent superintendent, who
will see that each copy shall 60 where it
will do the most good. 1t will be de-
voted to Southern California, every por-
ton of which will be treated impair
TALLY. In few days accredited agents
of the HERALD will start out on the
work of canvassing the people in the
interest of this mammoth enterprise.
Those who can contribute advertising
patronage are expected to do so, while
almost anybody can subscribe for copies
to be either mailed east by themselves, or
distributed at the worlds fair through
the HERAID's agency. There is no rea-
son why the greatest boom ever known in
the history of Southern California should
not follow in the wake Of the, Columbian
worlds fair. 1t is the mission of the
HERALD to see that this shall be the
case. The high standard OF previous
editions of the HERALD is a guarantee
that this supreme effort will be of excep-
tional merit. The aim will be to make
it nonpareil. 1t will be noted that in
this ambitious edition all the counties
of Southern California are to be in
cluded. We bespeak for this enterprise
the generous patronage which will un-
doubtedly be accorded to it, and which
in reality will only be bread cast upon
the waters, which will return before the
lapse of many days. This 10 the mis-
sionary era in Southern California. We
need people, and the HERALD proposes
to see that they shall get here, in great
numbers and OF the right kind.
