$500 and the terms Of the others were to
be arranged afterwards, but $40O was
demanded to bind the bargain. When
told by Mr.. Gaffey that White was not
buying votes, this patriotic Populist re-
tired from Gaffey's room somewhat
crestfallen. l knew this scandalous
conduct for ten days, and kept it se-
cret to shield the good name OF our
party, and if this attempt to assasslnates
my good name had not been made, and
this man Chamberlain had not come
before the committee of the Peoples
party to assist Gator to blacken my
name, we would have been spared the
disgrace heaped upon us. Chamber
lain was sworn and put upon the
stand, and under oath made clean
breast of it, but he said he was not au-
thorized TO sell the four votes, but the
general impression ia that he would
have delivered at least two OF them. lie
said it was job put up on "old Can
non." Well, it was about as success
fub as many other jobs that shysters
have attempted to put up on "old Gan
non." | have met this class OF cattle
for over two years, and have stood
them off single handed, and stood TINS
scoundrel off when he was locked up by
the whole gang that signed the resolG'
tions calling me traitor. In the as
sembly next morning, after he had tes-
titled, Dodge, Republican, offered
resolution expelling him from the cham
ber, and asking that he be prosecuted,
and it passed unanimously. and he
skipped for parts unknown to save a
term in the states prison. This is the
character of men who were running the
Peoples party in Sacramento, putting
up jobs on old Cannon" and trying to
aseassinate his good name.
In conclusion will say that l have
labored necessarily for over two years at
my own expense to build up this move
ment in California upon an honorable
foundation. 1t is well known that for
two and half years have largely con-
trolled it, and given it national reputa-
ton of which it had no cause to be
ashamed. The gang seized it on the
18th of December. They have had con-
troll about five weeks and have proved
themselves the greatest architects of
ruin in the history of politics. My
nomination for congressman was thrust
upon me. I accepted it simply from
sense of duty, and will, If my life is
spared, faithfully serve out my term,
laboring for the cause for which I have
already made no inconsiderable sac
rifce, and then gladly retire to my
peaceful home. MARION CANNON.

THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
An Outline of the Excellent Work II
Has Undertaken.

An Outline of the Excellent Work 1t
Has Undertaken.
The historical society of Southern
California will hold its regular monthly
meeting this evening at 7:3O p. M, in
Judge Austin's court room, old city
hall, West Second street. The presi-
dent, Major E. W. Jones, will deliver
an address on the object and aims of
the society. and will outline the work
for the ensuing year.
The curator, J. M. Quinn, will report
on the library and collections of the
society and the W ork done last year.
O.. P. Dorland, Esq, will read paper
on the origin and history of the primi-
tive races of California.
The society aims to make all it's
literary exercises short, pointed and
entertaining. The meetings are all
open to the public and visitors are
cordially invited. The society is doing
valuable work for Southern Cali
fornia in collecting and preserving
historical material. 1t receives
regularly AZ weekly and eight daily
newspapers. These are carefully filed
and preserved for binding. These,
when bound in volumes, will form
library in themselves, and will be in
valuable for historical reference in the
future. In addition TO this the society
has accumulated library of nearly
1900 volumes. 1t has also q large
collection of maps, some of them old
and very rare. 1t has collection of
curios, pictures and photographs. The
society issues an annual publication con-
tanning historical and scientific papers
on Southern California. The demand
for these books from eastern libraries
and historical societies has exhausted
all the earlier issue.
The publication of last year was o
volume OF over 200 pages-a transla-
tion OF old Spanish documents from the
Sutro collection. The translation was
made by the late George Butler Griffin.
1t is original historical matter, and
pertains to the history of the Pacific
coast 300 years ago. The book has re-
ceived high commentator from eastern
literary men and historical societies.
Copies of it can be obtained from the
librarian OF the society, j. NJ. Quinn, or
Stoll & Ihayer.

The Hon. Marion Cannon has gentle
gift of speech that shows that he can be
.appreciative of his enemies. We else
where publish his pretty decisive on
elaught on the ''iackleg" lawyers and
others who fried to read him out of the
Populist party. As he is the Democratic
congressman from this district our Ven
tura county friend had better let it go
at that. Worse things have happened
to a man than being Democratic con-
gressman under Democratic adminis-
tration. Meanwhile, more power to his
elbow. The crowd that has attempted
to besmirch his good name is very
sscaly one at best.

from that pair, SO rapidly have they
multiplied. AS his stock increased he
leased adjoining lands on which to grow
the alfalfa, barley and corn with which
to feed his hogs. He gave them the best
the land could afford. Asa consequence
his porkers always commanded half O
cent a pound more than the market
price and this year he will sell quite
$4,000 worth of hogs.
While on this matter of hogs it is well
to bear in mind the fact that Los Ange-
les is soon to have splendid pork pack
ing establishment. Mr.. Oudahy, who is
erecting it, says that Los Angeles is one
of the best places in the world for the
raising and curing of the hog in all his
various forms. He shows that he has
entire faith in what he says by embark
ing his own capital and that of his
friends in the Cudahy packing establish
ment.
This is indeed to be golden year, and
for none more so than the farmer. Let
him apply himself to improving the
thousand openings for making money
that lie around him on every side. He
cannot make mistake, no matter what
he may engage in, If he will only use a
little judgment. What he needs does
not take long to tell: Industry, intelli-
gence and very little capital will coon
make him independent of the world. If
raising pork aud poultry are too prosaic
occupations for him, let him apply him
self to horticulture. If he will diligently
attend to twenty-acre farm of either
the citrus or the deciduous fruits he will
have competency in ten years, and he
will have been engaged in one Of the
most pleasing avocations of life.
The industrious man with modest
capital is sure to get rich in Los
Angeles county. There are many who
are now well to do who began on moth
ing but elbow grease and dauntless reso-
luton. There is room here for tens OF
thousands of such people in Los Angeles
and adjoining counties. Ventura and
San Bernardino counties are full Of sue
cessful horticulturists that began on
next to nothing-many of them on
nothing but nerve. This is the most
acceptable OF all times to do 1t. See
that you do not neglect the opportu.
mites Of a golden year.

GHOST SEEKERS.
Come Features of Spiritualistic Meet
ing Last Night.


ing Last Night.
The mediumistic reporter of the
HERALD attended meeting of spiritual
lists last evening at Opera House hall.
There were about 200 people present,
and perhaps larger number of spirits.
After a very lengthy address by a
gentleman who proved, to his own satis,
faction, at least. that spirits do exist, q
young lady sang Sweet Spirit, Hear My
Prayer. And no doubt they did.
An old gentleman of great medium.
istic powers sat in the audience, and un'
der this musical spell, at once came un'
der the influence of several astral bodies,
which almost threw him into convul-
sions.
A woman medium was called upon to
give few tests. She readily came for
ward and requested the lights to be
turned down. The woman soon had the
hall full of spirits; many were called
and all came, according to her version
At the conclusion of the tests, a "reci
tation by request" was announced.

We understand that the celebrated
"Jayhawker," whose maiden name is
Woodland, is engaged just now in In
dianapolis in promoting" q scheme to
colonize the Farallone islands. His
plan is to control the egg trade OF the
world through the prolific deposit of
that fruit left there by the sea-gulls.
The only thing in which the colonel ever
encountered downright failure was in
his attempt to make Mahstma out of
the genial senior editor Of the Los An
geles Times. That gentleman was too
unslterably attached to the dogmas of
the Rev. B. Fay Mills to allow OF any
hope of success.

ELsEwHERE this morning we print
some interviews with real estate men
which show the trend OF matters in that
line. There can be no doubt whatever
that marked real estate revival has set
in, and we may add that it extends to
every other line Of business. For quite
9 while all commercial travellers and OBJ
servant people have been agreed upon
the fact that Los Angeles is without
question the livsliest city on the Pacific
coast; or, as they put it, west Of Den

settling down values, and we are now on

THE OPPORTUNITIES OF A GOLDEN
YEAR.

A trip through the country IN any d.
rection from Los Angeles exposes one OF
the most charming panoramss in the
world. The rains, coming exactly in the
right time, have done their perfect
work. On every hand we are surrounded
with vernal vistas of incompatible
beauty, and the crops will be phenom-
email in quantity and quality. The
HERALD early assured it's readers that
the present would be golden year. The
only thing to regret is that we have not
more truck gardeners of Caucasian in
dustry and intelligence. As it is, John
Chinaman is pulling in the sweepstakes.
Cabbsges are selling today at rate
that will insure the grower 5000 an acre,
or more. So are potatoes. Where
there are facilities for irrigation the
gardener can raise from two TO three
crops OF each a year, and our 5000
figure is based on only one crop. A sin-
gle Chinaman, who is working a ranch
in the neighborhood of Downey City,
shipped seventy carloads of cabbages
last year to the east, for which he re-
ceived most remunerative prices. Pota-
toes will be specially profitable this
year for the reason that the whole Sac
ramento valley is overhowed. Why not
take hint, oh ye farmers of somnolent
mood, and get yourselves rich by planting
potatoes? Instead, the granger here
prefers to stand off and curse the coun-
try. Or, if he be of more phlegmatic
disposition, he will calmly take out his
pencil and figure off loss on anything
that can be put in the ground. Col. r.
S. Baker finds himself busy leasing
lands on the Laguna ranch to Cinnamon
at three times the figures that any Cau-
casian will pay him, and yet one would
think that the Caucasian would take
more chances in a speculative way than
the Mongolian.
Los Angeles needs farmers, and far
mer here who really attends to his bust
ness is sure to quickly acquire COM
potency. We occasionally hear the OBJ
lection raised that lands are too high.
That there is nothing in this is shown
by one of many instances we might re-
late. For years Mr.. E. +. Baldwin
stood ready to lease lands on his San
Francisquito ranch, and on his other
ranches, for one-third OF the crop, he
furnishing the seed and feed, and the
farmer supplying the labor and the
teams. The yield per acre of these rich
lands ran from one hundred to one hun
dred and fifty bushels OF corn. Under
such circumstances one would think
that such an offer would be quickly &C.
cepted. On the contrary, thousands OF
acres OF the richest lands under the sun
were allowed to lie fallow. The tenants
were not forthcoming.
To show the rich returns which await
the energetic farmer in Los Angeles
county we will give single instance.
Five years ago gentleman who had
been engaged in business in Los Angeles
bought small farm near Long Beach.
His wife suggested that in order to con-
sume the waste of the household they
ought to keep couple of hogs. The
suggestion WAS acted on. His original
holding was 55 acres. The porkers began
to increase, and in the last five years he
has sold $1,000 or $4,000 worth Of pork

WASHINGTON is already swarming
with office-seekers, in view of the
change in administration next month.
These gentry will, however, find that
the extension of the classified list OF
the civil-service in the past four years
has deprived the president of much
official patronage that he erstwhile dis
pensed; hence few will be chosen and
many will get left.

TIE American naval authorities can
always be relied upon to do, as General
Grant was wont to put it, "the wrong
thing at the right time." The new
armored coast defense steamer Monterey,
built at the Union Iron works, gets
$50, 900 knocked off her cost price be-
cause she lacks 300 of developing the
xequired horsepower, although she has
made half mile more per hour than
the contract demands. Cabinet princes
don't know the new style of boilers.

has always proclaimed, real estate
values are destined to attain very high
figures in Los Angeles county, and
happy is the man who gets hold of some
OF it as it rises from the bedrock-an
operation that is now under way. The
great hegira from Chicago after the
Columbian worlds fair will pour right
into the Los Angeles valley.

a New Female Star Attracts a Large

The Chinese theatef drew an appre-
ciative, if not very large Caucasian
audience last evening. The Caucasian
element seemed much interested in the
beautiful and elaborate costumes worn
by the Celestial stars, while the large
Chinese audience was especially inter-
ested in the numerous wars that were
fought upon the stage. The female star,
departure in Chinese theatricals, is
the center of attraction, and her cos
tunes are magnificent-more gorgeous
than many of the alleged Parisian gowns
worn by some actresses.

Robbers Hold up a Tram.
By Southern Associated Press.

By Southern Associated Press.
COLUMBIA, Ills, June Six
masked men held up the New Or
leans express on the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad at Forest Lawn, north
of here at 9 o'clock last night, and
robbed the express car of $4,000
in cash, and valuables worth large
amount. The robbers did not oc-
cupy over twenty minutes time. A
large posse is now in pursuit of the
bandits. The express makes short
stop at Forest Lawn, and when it
came to standstill Last night two
men jumped upon the engine, point
ing revolvers at the heads of the |
engineer and fremer, and told them
not to attempt to start the train.
While this was taking place four
! men appeared at the side of the ex-
press csr. One placed short lad
der against the car, and then chop-
| ped hole in the door. It took but
q moment to do this, and before the
astonished express messenger real
lied what was happening, the door
burst open and four men were in
the car. Messenger Branford at
tempted resistance, but was silenced
by a blow from hatchet, in the
hands of the robber who had chop
ped the hole in the door. The ban
dts lost no time in ransacking the
car. Branford was only partially
stunned by the blow he received.
and his assailsnt revived him and
forced him to open the safe. Its
contents they placed in a sack, to-
| gether with what other valuables
they secured. Brsnford was then
bound, gagged and cast into cor
ner of the car. When the bandits
had completed their task in the ex-
press car, they jumped to the
4 ground. The conductor and several
of the trainmen opened fire or
them. They returned it with IN
terest, though none of the bullets
80 far as known, took effect.
The bandits armed with Win
|. chesters and revolvers drove thel
assailants into the cars and among
Il the passengers who were rendered
4 panic stricken by the fusllade volle
y of shots heard, apparently fired TO
| the purpose of intimidation, an
v then the robbers took to their heel
There was every chance for them
escape as the place is lonely on
81 with swamp and underbrush o
81 each side of the track for distane
Y of two or three miles. There is
, telegraph station at Forest Law
rendering the summoning OF aid
that way an impossibility. Mer
