Rumor that uo Did Not Retire on Account
of Illness.

of Illness.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.--The report is
persistcntIY circulated this morning
that Mr., B!ainc's sudden departure from
the Cabinet meeting yesterday and his
failure to attend the State dinner last
night is the result of a direct conflict
between the President and the Secretary
Of State growing out of the CHILEAN stu
alton.
The fact is noted that Mr. Blaine did
not send his regrets to the White House
until the hour set for the dinner had ar
rived. in face of the fact that he assured
his friends that he was not ill.
a United States Senator expresses the
opinion that from his knowledge of the
very delicate and critical situation of at
fairs and from the fact that Mr.. Blaine
has all along been in favor Of peace
policy he is inclined to believe that thrIe is
II serious misunderstanding between the
President and the Secretary Of State.

These are the words prominent merchant
used in addressing a well known underta-
ker yesterday on our public streets He
smiled confdentially on the undertaken,
as if HE had said something great.
The undertaken looked at him with as
Constituent If he had been struck by a
western cyclone he could not be more sur
prised We will not mention the mer-
chants name, as l. might injure his bust
ness; and perhaps he spoke without think
ing But the undertaken felt that he was
a cynical wretch of the finest quality. To
look into the eyes of this cynical creature
one would imagine that the unfortunate
undertaken was responsible to some ex-
tent, for the number of deaths that occur

Perhaps the public is not aware that the
undertaken is debarred from visiting SONS

ne would ike 10 SEE" on account Vi sucn

above.
Occasionally we see doctor attending a
funeral. We have heard people say more
than once that the doctor in question was
the cause of the death of the deceased,
when all sensible people will acknowl-
edge that the doctor would have saved
his patient if he could, if for no other
reason than to save his own reputation.
All! some people talk strangely in this
world

AMONGST the other propositions that
will follow fast on the heels of the presi-
Dental and county election is the dis
tinctively municipal election, known as
the city election. Many candidates have
figured amongst those suggested for
mayor, and amongst the rest gentlemen
like William Lacy, Sr., who has per-
emptorily declined. The HERALD gem
orally likes to indicate its preference
editorially in any line of such gravity.
It has never had the gall to seek it's own
favorites for mavor, or for any other
Office in the gift of the party or
OF the people. It's conductors were
somewhat surprised to see, in its local
columns, what looked like an endorse
ment of the claims vf the Hon. VIM. H.
Workman as candidate. While this
journal would in no sense seek to dis
prize any claim which that gentleman
may have upon the attention or the
claims of his fellow citizens, we most
emphatically disclaim any desire to force
him into prominence which, in our
Judgment, would be injudicious. This
leads us to note the fact that the latest
aspirant for mayoralty horors on the
Democratic eide is Capt. A. F. Mackey,
a strong man and sterling Democrat.

the meantime they are organizing ex-
tensive colony sch'emes to relieve tho

tions Of Scotland, whose people are hardy
and whose vacations are adapted to
the needs of British Columbia. A
colozy of crofters are to be established
on Vancouver island under the auspices
of great English commercial syndicate
with capital stock of s5,O00'c00. The
interest that England is now manifest
irg in establishing strong outpost on
our northern border would seem as il
the public men of Great Britain look
forward to a day when she relations
between England and the this country
shall become so strained that war will
be inevitable !; in which event the
United States will probably be prepared
to bottle up British Columbia, and
bring it's most effective efforts to bear
upon the situation in the Atlantic.

The Carnegie contingent, who are
now digging up obsolete penal laws in
order to pursue the Homestead strikers
mercilessly, are proceeding in way
that will not only bring all the labor in
tereets of the United States into active
antagonism with them, but arouse the
sympathy OF the whole country for the
men who are undergoing this extraor-
dinary legal persecution. Warrants
have been got out against some of the
men for treason. The law of state trea-
son has not been ever before invoked
against labor strikers in any state, and
that it is brought into service now would
seem to argue that the Carnegie men
have very weak case against the
Homestead strikers on ordinary legal
principles. 1t would look as if the
charge of treason ought to lie with much
more force against the Carnegies them
selves for importing armed men into the
state to provoke riot and then 70 shoot
down unarmed citizens.

A YOUTHFUL OFFENDER.
George Schlagel Again Finds Himself
Jail.

George Schlagel Again Finds Himself in
Jail.
George Schlagel, youth about 1S
years of age, was taken to the county
jail yesterday by Deputy Sheriff P. H.
Minick, of Tropico. Young Schlagel
has no parents, but was adopted several
years ago by Mrs. Hillard. Last June
he stole horse and succeeded in getting
as far as San Francisco before being cap
tured. At the last named place he was
arrested on the charge of grand larceny.
and sent back to this county for trial.
He was found guilty, and on the 18th of
July sentenced by Judge Smith to three
years in the Whittier reform school.
The surroundings and life here were
not suited to Schlsgel's taste, and he
seized the first opportunity presented to
make his escape. This he succeeded in
doing in August, and had not been
heard OF since that time. A day or two
ago he reappeared near his old home in
Tropico, and was caught and brought
back to the county jail. IL is quite
likely that this youthful horse thief will
be more severely dealt with this time, and
will be fortunate if allowed to serve out
his time in Whittier rather than under
the more severe discipline of San Quen-
tin.

Our Republican friends cannot get
over the habit of claiming that their
monopoly. breeding tariff is entitled to
credit for everything in the way of ad-
vantage or benefit that has happened to
the country for the past two years. One
of the most persistent Chalmers in this
way is our evening contemporary, which
in yesterdays issue has the hardihood
to say that "the bounty paid by the
government has induced capitalists to
set up the factory at Chino" Every
man, woman and child in Los Angeles
knows that the Chino sugar factory was
commenced before the bounty attach
ment was tackled to the Mckinley bill

A FEW days ago the HERALD referred
to Rev. George f. Pentecost in terms
that were not complimentary. The ref
erence should have been to Rev. Hugh
Pentecost, whose career has been marked
by the eccentricities we attributed to

cost never ran for mayor of Newark, N.

built whether that attachment had ever
become law or not. MI. Gird and the
sugar capitalists entered into their con-
tract on the strength of the high price
paid for sugar before it was quali6edly
placed on the free list. The two cents
bounty they now receive from the gov
ernment would have come Immediately
out of consumers if the tariff bill had
passed in the shape Mckinley fret
framed it. 1t is not necessary to say
that the bounty now comes out OF the

Yesterday in st. Paul's Episcopal
church, Pomona, CAL, by the rector
Rev. f. w. Adams, assisted by Rev. j.
d. H. Brown, Mr.. Frank Hazard Block
ley, late of the civil service, British
Honduras, was married to Miss Sarah
Grosvenor Dave, late of Weybridge,
county of Surrey, England. During the
strains of a wedding march, preceded by
the officiating clergymen, the bride
groom with his best man, Mr.. Charles
Blockley, entered from the vestry room
and went directly to the chancel. AS
soon as the bride entered the church
door, leaning upon the arm of Mr..
Oliver Young, and attended by Misses
Alice and Dora Blockley and little Lii
liam Adams and Gertie Skinner, mar
riage hymn was sung by the choir, dur
ing which she proceeded to the chancel.
At the close of the wedding service
the bridal pair proceeded to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Kirkland, where a recep-
tion was rendered them, at which few
personal friends were present. The
church had been beautifully decorated
by the young ladies of st. Agnes Altar
guild, and the entire service was most
impressive. The newly married pair
will at once make their home in Pomona,
where the congratulations of their many
friends in England and in Pomona will
follow them with sincere wishes for pros
perity. The bride wore creme art
crepe, made in demi-train, with a
water pleat from the back of the neck.
The front of the skirt had Honiton lace,
looped up with spray of orange bios
SONS; small spray in hair, with plain
tulle vail. The bride carried bouquet of
orange blossoms.
