Capt. Emil Harris Names Time and Place
for zone Who Knows"
1t is really time for "One Who knows
to put up or shut up. and cease beating
about the bush with reference to Capt,
Emil Harris connection with the cap.
ture of the bandit Vasquez. After sew
eral artful propositions designed to draw
attention from the main issue in the
matter, which is, Did Captain Harris
wound the bandit? he has offered to
meet the captain at any time and place
this week, in Los Angeles, to arrange
the bet.
The offer is accepted by Captain Har-
ris, and he will meet Zone Who Knows"
at O'Clock this afternoon at the office
OF Thos. E. Rowan, on North Spring
street, where the 'shifty individual
can have the chance of putting up on
any fair proposition.
The whole thing in nutshell is
whether zone Who Knows" will back
up his proposition that II desire to wa
ger that Vasquez was not wounded by a
bullet fred from rife in the hands of
Emil Harris" On the wager Captain
Harris will bet 500 or upwards. He
will also bet another 500 or upwards
that Vasquez surrendered to him, and
another 500 that he was the only one
who entered the house OF the bandit.
As to the judges who will decide the
bets he cannot see what objection "One
Who Knows" can have to DR.. Busch,
who examined the wounds, or DR.. X. D.
Wise who was the attending physician,
or with VIM. R. Rowland, and he is
perfectly willing to leave the decision
with them. 1t cannot be said that these
three gentlemen would constitute "all
the experts in the city,"
While, Capt. Harris knows that the
''shifty individual" has been in town
during this controversy, he has re-
trained from naming him, but the time
has arrived for him to fulfill his alleged
willingness to draw things to head.

MATTERS CONGRESSIONAL.

The Democratic convention OF the
Seventh congressional district yesterday
nominated the Hon. Olin Welborn tor
congress. This is another way of say
ing that noble and electrical struggle
is ahead in that district. Mr.. Welborn
is, in truth, statesman. He is thor
oughly equipped for the hard, prosaic
and exacting duties of campaigner.
He is eloquent almost to the point of
being able to talk the birds from the
bushes. In personal appearance, in the
classic precision and grace of his die
tion, in his grasp of the oratorical open
ings presented to an alert, intelligent
and highly magnetic speaker, Mr.. Well
born recalls to our mind Henry Edger-
ton, of the Republican party. As the
district is closely balanced, we conf
IDENTIFY expect to see Mr.. Welborn win.
AS between him and the now nationally
celebrated "Bow Wow" it is case of
Hyperion to Satyr. At the same time
Bowers is a fighter from base, and we
caution Mr.. Welborn to remember the
fact that noble eagle in his fight
has sometimes been laid low by a
mousing owl. We are inclined to think
that no such disaster impends over the
knightly and eloquent representative of
the Democracy in the Seventh Congress-
ional district this year. There is a great
positive advantage in sending Mr.. We'll
born to congress. He is one of the ma
tional leaders of the Democracy. He
was first elected to congress from the
Dallas district, in Texas, by a majority
of 81 ,O00, in 1873. For four years he
was chairman OF the committee OF In
dian affairs. No man in either house of
congress surpasses this inimitable gen
tleman in all the attributes Of legis-
lator.
Why should not this able and elo-
quent nominee beat Bowers? That he
will do so may be assumed as certainly
as that the night will succeed the day.
When you can get Statesman, an ora
tor, and gentleman at the same price
which will command the services of a
"cheap John" charlatan, it goes without
saying that the Hon. Olin Welborn will
beat the mex xpressible Bowers in dis
trict which the Republican legislature,
in moment of folly, left insuficiently
guarded in its greed to encompass the
Sixth district.
Now let Los Angeles initiate the ex-
ample of the Seventh district by nomi-
mating the Hon. Stephen M. White,
and compelling him to make the fight.
His senatorial aspirations will be ad-
vanced, and not set back, by canvass
which could easily be made memorable,
if he settles himself down to work.

AS AN EDUCATIONAL MEASURE.

The election by which the issuance
of sewer bonds for Los Angeles is to be
decided, one way or the other, takes
place today and while the HERALD has
never condemned the proposition edi-
torially, nor stopped over" in its advo-
cacy, it takes this occasion of urging a
general turnout of the voters of this
city. There should be a decided ex-
preston of public opinion upon SO i'm
portant proposition as the voting away
Of large sums of the peoples money for
sewers, or anything else; and that is
why we ask business men to leave their
shopss and countingrooms for half an
hour or SO, and to drop ballot either
for or against this important measure.
Again, there is a presidential election
to take place in November, to which the
election of today bears the same rela-
ton that grammar school does to a
college. The election OF today will be
sort of instruction to voters which
they will not forget, and in that partic-
ular lies its use. Our own laws were
good enough until 1876, when Mr. 'Sit-
ting BulP' Morton came to San Fran
cisco and voted about 750 citizens OF
that place for the husband of Mrs.
Hayes, before they were out of
bed in the morning. Since then,

STOPPED BY THE COURTS.
A Baking Powder Company EDjoinet
From slanaering Its Competitors.
San Franciscn Chrnnicla


From slanaering Its Competitors.
San Francisco Chronicle.
In recent news article exposing the
fraudulent tricks which baking powder
concern comparatively new to the Pa
cific coast was making through it's visit
ing agents in the kitchens of San Fran
cisco, it was stated that the parties per-
forming these tricks had elsewhere got
ten themselves into trouble with the
courts.
1t will be remembered that the tricks
were performed by means of false and
doctored samples of powder, and that
the agents at the same time distributed
defamatory advertisements or made false
verbal statements in the effort to show
something wrong in the baking powder
found in the house visited.
The baking powder company respon-
sible for these practices having disputed
the statement that they had been
stopped elsewhere by the courts, the
following report of the case will be of
interest:
Complaint was made before Judge
Rose, in the high court of Justice, of
Canada, against both the baking pow
der company and an agent, who was
aiding in the circulation of the defam-
atory matter, and an injunction asked.
After hearing, the court granted a per-
petual injunction against the company
and all its employees, as follows:
This court doth order and adiudge
that the defendants, and each OF them.
their aud each of their respective work
men, servants and agents, be, and they
are, hereby perpetually restrained from
publishing, circulating or distributing
in any way whatever, books, pamphlets
and circulars, containing any statement
or allegation that the plaintiffs baking
powder contains alum or ammonia, and
that said baking powder is unwhole-
some, unfit for consumption, and an in
jury to the public health. with costs to
be taxed, including the costs of and in
cidental to this application, etc."
The company enjoined was the same
that has recently been working the bak
ing powder tests in this city by the aid
OF innocent women. 1t will be noticed
that the order includes all "workmen.
servants and agents." Housekeepers
will be very grateful if the courts of
this state will relieve them from the
nuisance of the kitchen baking powder
testers, "lady analysts and all, by a
similar injunction against their scandal
GUS and illigitimate methods.

people have been looking all over
the world for an improvement on our
laws, and, as natural consequence, the
kangaroo ballot" has become fixture
of American politics.
Objections to this law are to be heard
on many sides, emanating quite as often
from Republicans as Democrats, and
that its machinery is cumbrous beyond
all comparison, is a complaint that is
well founded. At the same time. it is
the law of the state, and we might as
we'll obey it first as last. The Democracy
will stand up and take their medicine
like little men.

THAT ILLEGAL GRAND JURY,
Judge Smith Decides to Obey
the Statute Provided.
He Will Vacate His Order of
Saturday Today.
The Judge Calls His Failure to Obey
the Statute can Inadvertence" On
His Part--Only Thirty Names
to BE Drawn.

A HERALD reporter yesterday after
noon called upon Judge Smith, who pre-.
sides over the destinies Of department
one of the superior court, and asked
him what decision he had come to rela-
tive to the irregularity in the drawing
of the grand jury, which was pointed out
in yesterdays issue.
The Judge replied that he would today
vacate the order which he made last
Saturday, directing thlrty-fve names to
be drawn from the grand jury box, and
order new drawing of thirty names, to
conform to the section of the political
code which regulates the impaneling OF
grand juries.
The names already drawn were placed
in the hands of Sheriff Gibson to be
summoned, and several of the gentlemen
have been served.
Yesterday, however, upon verbal di-
rection by Judge Smith, the work of
serving the remainder was stopped.
Judge Smith said that the failure to
follow the section with reference to the
number to be drawn was an inadyert-
ance on his part, but that, rather than
have any question about the matter. he
would call a new jury.
In case the full quota of nineteen is
not secured out of the thirty names to
be drawn today, it will become necessa-
ry to order special venire out of which
to fill up the number required. The
special venire is not drawn like the orig
inal venire. The names are not drawn
from the grand jury box, but the order
ie placed in the hands of Sheriff Gibson,
who will pick out the number from the
body of the county.
In regard to the two grand juries in a
year, Judge Smith said that he did not
consider it necessary to have two grand
juries in one year, and if any one thinks
the statute is mandatory let him apply
for writ of mandate to enforce the
provision.
The judge smiled polite smile as he
referred to the efforts of the HERALD in
drawing attention to the calling of a
grand jury, and said that he really had
not known that it had been alluded to
until his attention was called to it by
some one, which is very kind of 'some
one"
3 The judge ought really to read the
HERALD more. He would learn some
important law points occasionally, and
would not make so many errors. See
ing that the HERALD has told him what
to do, and he has done it as soon as
judicial dignity would permit, it is fair
to presume that some little bird whis-
pers unto the judges what the HERALD
prints. Be that as it may, the order
heretofore made by him will be vacated
today and a new jury will be ordered.

TAKETH UNTO HIMSELF TUMBLE.

1t would now seem as if the judicial
wearinees who is the incumbent of the
primary department of the superior
court has begun to realize what every
body else but himself has already known
that bill of indictment found by a
grand jury composed of five members
more than the law allows is virtually no
indictment at all. This awakening sense
Of a brick house falling upon the court
can only result favorably to the county !;
and, on the old principle of "better late
than never" the HERALD sends its con-
gratulations to the bench.
it is to be hoped that a proper scru-
tiny of proceedings hereafter to be con-
Quoted, will be had by the court on this
second occasion, in order that no indict-
ment may be quashed through irregu-
larity of any sort. Cases are liable to
come up in which conviction is not
only desirable, but an absolute neces-
sity; and it would be the occasion for
deserved regret if conviction should
fail by reason of preliminary irregu-
larity. Smarting under the severe COM
ments which the failure of the former
venire has occasioned, it is not likely
that Judge Smith will let the present
occasion fail of it's errand through any
negligence of his own.
As there are but two grand juries to
be held annually in each year, there
would seem to be no necessity for any
euch blunder as that which has just oc-
CURED. 1t only needs little care be-
forehand and there will be no difficulty
to obstruct the pathway of justice.
There can be no doubt of one thing
that grand jury convened in proper
form, will have plenty to do whenever
they meet. Scores of local evils now
demand a remedy which will doubtless
be forthcoming when proper cognizance
of them is taken.

Nothing New About the Matter-Proba-
et BILE Candidates.
The resignation of @. L. Batcheller as
United States master in chancery and
examiner was the subject of very general
discussion in legal circles yesterday, and
much speculation was INDUCED in rela-
tive to the person who will drop into
this important and lucrative office. The
details of the matters which led to Mr..
Batcheller's resignation have been SO
carefully guarded that they will proba-
bly, never be fully known. His resigna-
tion being accepted without the formu-
latlon OF any charges, criminal or other
wise, there are no means OF securing
the information, and the late incumbent
retires to private life with the mystery
OF bis resignation of life Office still
buried in his own inner consciousness.
The position is one which would be
eagerly accepted by almost any lawyer
in the city. Some persons, who claim
to be we'll informed, assert that the
emoluments of the master in chancery
exceed those of the district Judge, and
one gentleman yesterday informed
HERALD reporter that the Office was
worth some years as much as SIS 900.
While, of course, it is not political
Office, still, as Judge McKenna is q
Republican, it is probable that the at
torney selected to fill the place will be
Republican. @
1t was learned on good authority yes
terday that the appointment will most
likely fall to either I. X. Wilson or E.
II. Lamme. of the law firm of Messrs.
Wilson & Lamme, of this city. 1t was
rumored that the choice has been al
ready made by Judge McKenna,
but inquiries at the federal building
failed to show that any public announce
ment of the fact has been made as yet.

THERE is no real virtue in a naterna,

THERE is no real virtue in paternal
form of government. 1t is repugnant to
the progress of events and at variance
with plain common sense. The Ger
man empire is government of this
sort, and the government owns the rail-
roads. Recently, when the kaiser
passed through the town of Halle, the
friends of Prince Bismarck were ex-
cluded from the railway station at that
place, by the imperial order. Come to
look it over, we reckon we do not want
any government ownership of railroads
here. Things are bad enough as they
are.

judicial iconoclast knocked down to
