TO BE TRIED AT ONCE.
MURDERER JOHN CRAIG'S SECOND
EXAMINATION POSTPONED.
The Account That HE Father IL = Muir
dersr IL Incerrsct-Craig Nov
Has No Attorneys to
Defend Him.

From reliable source 1t Is learned
that the account published yesterday
that the father OF the murderer Craig
killed man in Middletown, Ohio, 2S
years ago, was incorrect.
Mr.. G. II. Long states that he knew
the parties, and that the father of John
Craig is named Daniel and is q justice
of the peace at Marc, ILL.,, where he is
highly respected. The item was clipped
from the Middletown paper.
1t was decided yesterday to postpone
the arraignment of the murderer on the
charge OF killing Mrs. Hunter, and also
to postpone his examination on the
charge of killing William Hunter. and,
consequently, the case will not be called
in Justice Seaman's court today.
As Craig is already held to answer for
shooting his wife, it is the opinion OF the
district attorney that he should be tried
as soon as possible on that count. 1t is
by far the beat case, aH there are two
eye witnesses to the tragedy.
The information will be filed immedi-
ately and the case taken up for trial.
Many people gathered at the station
yesterday to see the srrsignment OF
Craig for killing Mrs. Hunter, but were
all disappointed, 1t was agreed to con-
tinue the bearing of the other charges
until the trial in the superior court for
the killing OF Mrs. Craig.
1t will probably fall to the court to ap.
point an attorney for the murderer.
Yesterday &. A. Williams, upon whom
Craig first called to act as counsel, an
nounced that he could not represent
Craig at the trial. 1t is presumed that
B. w. Mcintosh, who, with Mr.. Will
liams, appeared as Crsig's attorneys at
the recent examination, is also in the
same position with Mr.. Williams. The
latter announced that when Craig asked
him to represent him, he consented, as
any attorney would do, having taken
oath to represent persons in such dis.
tress when called upon.

greatest Of London's financiers and one
of her greatest apostles of charity. Pea.
body never forsook his allegiance to the
Stars and Stripes, nor did that other
great fnancier, Hugh McCulloch, who
lived twelve years in London. These
worthy men never lost sight Of the old
flag under which they were born; they
"Had met with the great and the noble Of
earth.
But had never forgotten the land Of their
birth"
Nor ere these isolated examples OF
honest American pride. The cities of
Melbourne spd Sydney boast not less
than $50 prosperous merchants and busi-
ness men of American birth who are
proud of the land OF Washington and
Franklin. and who could not be induced
to forsswear their allegiance to Old
Glory for twenty times the value of
any pecuniary profit they might hope
to reap through their business ventures
in that country. They are prominent
moving figures in everything that leads
up to the development of the country
they call their home, but such thing
as a change OF citizenship they would
regard as stain on their honor that
could not be wiped out. One of these,
now millionaire, began life as a stage
driver between Sacramento and Marys-
Vile. He is proud of his honestly
fortune, his palatisl home, his be autiful
daughters and his fine, manly boys. But
his greatest pride is that, living 5000
miles away from the nearest point OF
the American continent, he remains an
American citizen.
With the example of these Americans
fresh in view. these men who have up
held the dignity and pride OF our mighty
land, far away beyond the equator, we
cannot waste any of our esteem upon
the seli-styled MIR. Waldorf-Astor. We
need it all for the Americans whose

THE EVOLUTION OF sNoBOCRACY.

Here in California we have certain
class of people whose sole desire seems
to be to get away from the place in which.
they made their money and where the
battledoor OF fortune lifted them out
of the mire Of poverty. although it could
not divest them of their innate vulgar
ity. Those who got rich at Mud Springs
or Groundhog's Glory, could not content
themselves to live in go common place,
so they shifted to San Francisco: while
thoee who got rich in San Francisco had
to 60 to New York or Washington, under
the prstense of educating their children.
The king of all the snobs. however, is
William Waldorf Astor, the grandson of
a German who made his first money by
peddling flutes and pipes through the
streets of New York. This precious
specimen of the genus 'cad." to whom
an English newspaper alludes as ''the
queens latest self-made subject" is now
engaged in London as the publisher of
newspaper in which he presumes to tell
Engliahman how to govern the United
Kingdom OF Great Britain and Irel and.
English society people, who eat his
dinners at Clievden, may accept his hos.
pitslity, but they secretly despise his
abjuration Of the land which gave him
birth.
He now calls himself not "Mr. Astor. F"
but "Mr. Waldorf-Astor." and if you
want to find his address in the Lond on
directory, you must look under the let
ter "W," and not under the "a" OF
that work. This reminds us of q story
that pioneer steam boatmen used to re-
tail at the expense of Capt David Van
Pelt, who commanded the Antelope in
early days. The old skipper was from
Staten Island, where they uee V for W
and vice versa. One day Captain Dave
went to the Sacramento postotfice and
asked the clerk: "Hev ye got any let
ters for David Wan Pelt?"
The clerk took letter package out OF
box marked W and began to shuttle
them over, when the pilot angrily ex-
claimed:
what are ye looking in the WIS for
Why don't ye look in the Wees?'
But jesting apart, the fact that this
snob Astor draws over two million dol
lars annually out Of the United States to
equsnder in social dissipation in Lon
don. and that there are scores OF others
ready to initiate his example, ia the best
and most cogent Of all reasons for the
enactment of an income tax. He evi

PLAYED ON JUDGE MKINLRY

A Hollander Gains His Citizen ship by
Sharp Practice.
A piece OF sharp practice was played
on Judge Mckinley yesterday afternoon
which showed that while some appli-
cants for citizenship may not know much
about the principles of our government,
they are cunning enough to take ad-
vantage OF our good natured judges.
A big fellow giving his name as Mic
Evert, and his nativity as Holland, ap-
piled to Judge York about O'Clock to
States. He was accompanied by Frank
hs good moral character in eulo-
gistic language. Judge York ia averse
to admitting persons to citizenship
unlees they show some knowledge ct
least OF our form of government. His
questioning of Evert revealed the fact
tina he was awfully ignorant of the sim
country, and Judge York pleasantly but
firmly refused to admit him at this
time, telling him to 20 away and study
up on the institutions of the country.
Evert and his sponsor Bussing left the
court room and went straighLwsy down
stairs to Judge McKinley's court room.
Here, without saying anything about the
action OF Judge York, they made appli-
cation. and after a short examination,
Judge Mckinley granted the appica-
ton. Evert and Busting than, with
smiles on their faces and chuckling over
the slick way in which they had taken

BURGLAR CAUGHT.

A Hasty Capture by Detective Good
man.
The HERALD published yesterday an
account OF the residence at 12l East Pico
street being entered ON Wednesday
morning by an alleged peddler. 1t was
sscertsined yesterday that the culprit
got away with $500 in cash from bureau
drawer, but thus far nothing more is
missing. due no doubt to the fact that
the thief was interrupted by Mr.. Hick-
cox, the owner of the building, who
came upon the scene while the burglar
was at work, but who managed to escape
at the time. and a description OF the
fellow was given to the police, and yes
terday Detective Goodwin cleverly
caught the supposed light-fingered fel-
low and locked him up on a charge Of
burglary in the second degree. The ac-
cused is young man about 81 years of
age, and would not be taken for a GRIM
inal. He gave the name Of Harry L..
Thompson, and claims he came from
San Francisco about a month ago, where
his family, it is alleged, are people OF
note.

ADvIcEs from Alaska would indicate
that the seal fisheries will not be worked
to any great extent this season because
prices are very low in London, which is
the chief market. The only advance
the London furriers will make is $5 per
skin. and that does not pay. Alaska
will be better off when she is thrown
open to general settlement and the seal
fisheries abolished altogether. Southern
California is in need of cheaper lumber,
and 30 long as the San Francisco lumb
ring can control legislation in its own
behalf, the magnificent forests of that
newly purchased territory will be closed
against the logger's ak and the settler
plow. Throw Alaska open to general
settlement and the lumber trade will
grow to suoh an extent that the ring
cannot control it, and that will make
lumber cheaper.

REFORM is WHAT VIZ WAN.

Samuel j. Tilden was always load in
proclaiming the necessity for govern
ment reform, but he was not always
careful to state in what particular the
reform was degirsble.
Had Mr.. Tilden lived in Los Angeles
in these times he would not have been
at loss to point out wherein the reform
should be effected. There Is not de-
partment oil onr local government.
whether city or county. in which there
might not be change for the better.
Our offices are all organized in refer
ence to benefit to thu occupants thereof
instead of. as they should be, for the
benefit of the people. The taxpayers,
who are made to contribute so bounti.
fully to the support of the offices, are
seldom thought of. and their welfare, as
opposed to that of the tax consumer. is
never considered. Politicians are al
ways looking out for themselves, and
they favor each other when there is ad-
vantage in 80 doing. They gem
orally manage to have law on
their side, and to that end
great care is observed in the matter Of
selecting lawmakers. The game of
you-tick kle-me- and ll-tiokle-you is emil
nently one Of politics.
The relation between the local poll
t;cisn and the legislator is usually OF the
most cordial nature. They understand
each other perfectly, as a general rule.
and serve each other faithfully. To
effect reform by law 10 most difficult
task, and its performance rarely ex-
pected.
The cost OF each department Of our
local government is very much above
what it ought to be, and fully double
what it would be in well-regulated
community. The employees are quite
too numerous and thsir compensation
altogether too large. If the employees
in the Offices were paid less there would
be fewer Of them to compensate. Places
arc sought solely for the emolument
they afford, and other places are created
for that end alone. Hard work or dill

one in public employment. II not abso-
lutte sinecures, many well-paid places in
this state are almost without care or
labor.
But the strangest part Of this thing is
that the taxpayers, who are compelled
to strain every nerve to meet the de-
mands OF the tax gstherer, submit tame
Ply to these impositions and make no
protest. The practice OF extravaganza
in the use of public money mas become
80 common that people hardly notice it.
II We show that the expenses OF Los An
geles county are greater than that OF
whole states a short time ago it creates
but little impression on the public
mind.
There would seem to be no alternative
but to persist in our efforts to effect a
reformation. Every candidate for tn e
legislature should be pledged to reform,
and be held to strict accountability for
his conduct afterwards. The last legis-
lsture accomplished little good, but it
could have done much more for the
people had it been 80 inclined.
