GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.

The public will learn with sincere re-
greet of the sudden disappearance of Mr..
Charles F. Guptill, alderman from Ward
1, Mr.. Joseph A. MCGOWAN, alderman
from Ward 2, and Mr.. J. L. Bracket,
alderman from Ward 4. They were all
in the city yesterday afternoon, but in
the evening they had all disappeared
and inquiry failed to discover their
whereabouts. There were rumors that
the Falmouth Club had spirited MI.
Guptill away while upon the Young
Mems Democratic Club was charged the
heinous offence of kidnapping thei Ward
2 statesman. Mr.. Bracket, it was said.
had gone to Saccarappa, but this was
commonly regarded as blind and it was
generally thought that he had been shut
up in one of his big trunks, and that
some heavyweight Democrat was sitting
On the lid. The reason of their disap-
pearance was generally believed to be a
meeting of the Board of Aldermen and
the absence of Alderman Tolman in
Washington in search of an Office. Be-
cause of this absence of Mr.. Tolman the
Democrats were left without majority
in the Board of Aldermen, and the at
tendance of Guptill, MCGOWAN or Brack-
EFT on the meeting would have made a
quorum and enabled the Republicans to do
business. Of course Mr.. Guptill did not
absent himself voluntarily. His "self-
respect and regard for the
public welfare" would deter
him from doing that. Doubtless
he was captured by certain emissaries of
the Falmouth club and taken kicking and
screaming and protesting and placed in
some sort Eof a dungeon prepared for
Democrats with inordinate self-respect.
The virtuous and statesmanlike Meow
an, too, would never have been guilty of
sneaking from his duty, and the obvious
explanation of his disappearance is that
the Young Mems Democratic club cap
tured him and put him in the coal hole.
Who disposed of Bracket is not so GER
tain, but his ward contains a large num-
Der of able bodied Democrats who could
easily overcome any scruples he might
have against spending in trunk the
time that may elapse before Alderman
Tolman returns.
But whatever the method of this dis
appearance it is melancholy fact that

THE PROPER THING.

We fail to see any good reason WHY
Mr.. David A. Wells or Mr.. Thomas G.
Shearman, ..or Mr.. John Il. Carlisle, or Mr..
Roger @. Mills or Mr.sHenry Watterson
or any other free trader of distinction in
this country, should not be consulted in
the preparation of the tariff bill which is
to be launched upon the country when
Congress meets. The Democratic plat
form declared protection robbery and
pledged the party to sweep it away if
entrusted with power. The people fur
nished them the opportunity they asked
for, and they are now bound to redee m
their pledge. What then mo1e natural
and more proper than that they should
consult the eminent gentlemen before
mentioned as to the best way of keeping
the pledge. All these gentlemen have
for years insisted that if the tariff was
reduced to free trade basis the country
would be more prosperous and content
ed, and several of them at least have
pointed out just how this could be done.
The Democracy endorsed their views and
the people endorsed the Democracy. 1t
is fitting therefore that the work of
revising the tariff should practically be
entrusted to them. They will give us
the real genuine free trade tariff which
the Democrats promised and (which the
country said it wanted. If the commit
tee of ways and means undertake to pre-
pare bill There is danger that it will
fall short of the Democratic pledge
There will very likely be Democrats of
the Randall school upon it who will pro-
test against the genuine free trade tariff
and seek to modify it in the interest of
some industry in their district. The
Louisiana sugar growers, and the West
Virginia and Ohio iron men, and the
South Carolina rice growers and many
other selfish Democrats will appear be-
fore the committee and insist that their
particular business be protected, and
there is great danger that the committee
will yield and instead Of the genuine free
trade tariff bill which the platform prom
lsed we snail get some mongrel affair
like the Mills BILL But there is no dan
ger that theorists like Wells Or Shearman
will yield to any representations of
that sort. The objection that the
constitution requires that revenue meas
ures shall originate in til House Of Rep
resentatives is rather finical and can
he aasilv fdicnocad Of NJ, IVoll, ord
Mr.. Shearman can be considered advisory
counsel. Nothing in the constitution
prevents or is intended to prevent the
House of Representatives in the con-
struction of revenue measures from get
ting all the outside advice which it sees
fit. All the constitution means probably
is that such bills shall make their appear
ance first in the House and not in the

One would be inclined to discredit tho
alleged statement of the Kaiser that he
would enforce the army bill whether the
Reichstag passed it or not were it not for
the fact that it is quite in the line of
other statements made by him in the past
that are we'll authenticated. From the
moment he assembled the throne and
issued his famous address to the
army the young Kaiser has shown
marked iadiscretion, of speech. To
undertake to enforce bill in spite of the
fact that it had been rejected by the peo-
pie through their constitutional repre-
sentatives would be to declare an absolute
despotism, and the consequence would
probably be a revolution. Hot headed
as the Kaiser is he will stop short of the

Cleaning Blankets,

Various methods of cleaning blar"
kets appear in the newspapers with
periodical regularity; among them the
following has the merit of being proba-
bly, the least taxing to the physical
strength and the most economical of
any and at the same time equal to any
in efficacy. Pour into the tub half a
pint of common household ammonia,
laying the blanket lightly over it, and
Immediately pour in enough warm
water to entirely cover the blanket
This sends the fumes of the ammonia
through the fibers of the wool and
loosens the dirt in a way which seems
little short of marvellous. The blan-
kets should then be pressed and stirred
about with a stick till the water seems
to have acquired its darkest hue, when
second tub of clear water of about
the same temperature as the first
should be used in the same way, after
which the blanket should be run light
ly through the wringer and hung out
to dry.-Philadelphi Press.

Firmness and obstinacy.

There is a wide difference, remarked
judicious writer, between firmness
and obstinacy, though they are con-
stantly COMPOUNDED. Firmness is a
conscientious adherence to what is
held to be right after careful exami-
nation of the reasons that may be
given for the opposite course. OBJ
stinacy is the tenacious maintenance
of position simply because it has
been taken. Il have said 1 will, and
will" such is its utterance, Or this:
'It'sof no use to argue; Pm determined
not to be moved"
This is a position common to stub
born people-and to mulesi Obstina-
cy, instead of being sign of mental or
moral strength, is the infallible proof
of a weak character. In moral and
mental philosophy obstinacy and weak
ness are synonyms.

WERE NEARLY FORGOTTEN.
The Members of the County Board o
Education

The Members of the County Board of
Education.
The county board of education must
be most modest body, for nobody
yesterday seemed to know who the
members are.
A HERALD reporter tried to find out
and after nearly wearing out the tele-
phone got the information.
The county superintendent of schools
Office was first called up, but he was not
in; and it was ascertained that that able
official is in his Office only two days 9
week.
The county auditors Office was next
rung up and no one there knew, but an
attempt to find out was promised, and
in the course OF 10 minutes the names OF
three men were given. The reporter
felt sure there were more than three
members, so he called up the county
clerk'e Office. No one there knew who
compoued the board, and after few
minutes spent in trying to find q record
of the names, the deputy replied that
the reporter had better call up the
board OF supervisors.
This was done and the clerk, who re-
piled, answered that he did not know,
but would find out. In short time he
succeeded in getting the liet, and as there
is such widespread ignorance about the
matter, the names are herewith given.

THEY TOOK ONE BALLOT.
GEORGE III. MILES ACQUITTED oE
THE MILLER MURDER.
The Defendant Receives the Verdict
With Rare Belf-P ossession--Clos-
ing Scenes of a Fa-
NOUS Trial.

The trial Of George III. Miles, indicted
by the grand jury for the murder Of
George W. Miller, May Is, 1891, was
finally concluded in department No.
Of the superior court yesterday, before
Judge Smith.
The result of the trial shrouds the
murder of George Miller in deeper mys-
terry than ever.
The jury, after an elaborate and stub
bornly contested trial of nine days, was
out only long enough to take ballot
and acquit the defendant Of the charge.
This leaves the question still unan-
swered as to who went into the little
/. back room Of the Carlton saloon on the
night OF May Is, 1891, and pounded out
the brains Of the old man who was lying
on lounge in a drunken stupor, the
saloon being full of people at the time,
the billiard tables running, and parties
occasionally in the adjoining wine
rooms.
The last day Of the trial was charac.
teristic for the great interest taken in
the closing arguments of the case. The
court room WAS packed at all hours oil
the day, and the spectators hung upon
the eloquent pleas made by w. II.
Shinn for the defense, and Assistant
District Attorney Dupuy for the prose-
eution.
Mr.. Shinn occupied the entire morn.
ing session and reviewed the testimony
in an elaborate manner. In the after.
noon Mr.. Dupuy spoke until after 4
O'Clock, and the case finally reached the
jury about o'clock.
After they had retired, go universal
was the belief that it would not take
them long to reach a conclusion, that
very few OF the spectators left the court
room. This belief was not without
foundation, for, while Judge Smith was
in his own court room sentencing man
to the penitentiary, word was brought
to him that the jury had agreed.
During the time they were ont the de-
fendant bore himself quietly, bat cheer.
fully, and did not seem to doubt the re.
suit. When the jurors filed into Their
seats, he took seat at the table where
he had sat so quietly during the Ions
trial, and while slightly paler than
usual, showed no other sign of excite
ment.
The foreman announcedIthe verdict tt
be "not guilty" A loud cheer and
clapping of hands broke out in the court
room, which was sternly checked by the
court.
The defendant did not change color
and remained seated for a moment
Some enthusiastic friends who shool
his hands displayed their feelings more
than he did.
Then the court room gradually cleared
and George Miles, and his little family
walked out of the room free man, whc
can never again be put in jeopardy of hi
life for the terrible crime which some
body has committed.

AN ASSESSMENT LEVIED

For the Worlds Fair PamphIet-Twe1ve
Applications from San Pedro.
The Southern California Worlds Fair
association met at the chamber OF COM
MERGE yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock,
there being present W. @. Kimball OF
San Diego, M. j. Dundy of Orange, Phil
Stein of Pomona, T. P. Lukens OF Pasa-
dena, L. E. Mosher, Chas. Forester and
@. d. Willard OF Los Angeles.
Mr.. Kimball presided and. in the alb
sence of Mr.. Virgins, Mr.. Willard
acted as secretary.
1t was reported that an assessment OF
$4,000 was necessary to bear the expenses
for the publication of the worlds fair
pamphlet. There will be $4,000 copies
Issued and the publication will cost
$4,000, $4,000 Of this ia in hand. 1t was
for the deficiency that the assessment
was asked. 1t was decided to levy on
the six southern counties for the
amount.
After discussing some minor matters,
the committee adjourned.
Twelve applications for membership to
the chamber of commerce were received
from San Pedro. These are the first OF
the kind received. San Pedro has made
