WILL THEY BE WHIPPED IN?

In all parties men OF independence in
thought and action are more or less
numerous. They are called the
better element. Republicans claim
to have larger percentage of this ele-
ment than any other party. Men OF the
class described cannot be held within
party lines, when their party enun ciates
principles not in accord with their
viaws, and more especially when their
party is guilty OF dereliction in regard
to public affairo, and still more especial.

When the Sacramento convention

tics. Republicans were generally loud in
their denunciation OF its msthods and
work. and declarations OF purpose to
punish for the ofense against political
decency were as widespread Go the de.
nuncations themselves. Dan Burns did
not mind that, for he relied on party
discipline and drill to whip in the re-.
calcitrants, and the lash has been and ia

Endorsed at the polls it will be more de-
fisnt, insolent and tyrannical in future.
The situation is & grave one for the
Republican party. 1t has claimed to be
the party of principles and high motive /;
in fact it is accustomed to faunt these
virtues before the world Such claim
will be ill supported in California If it
indo-ses Burnsism, for there is no pre-
tense anywhere that it ia consistent
with honest methods or promises to
subserve the public interests. The
Burns methods, like all other boss
methods, are backed by unprincipled
ringsters and by each donated by thoss
who demand special advantages from
government. 1t is easy to conceive that
there are in the Republican party
large number of msn who feel the irk-
someness OF their position, and that
there is a struggle between a ense OF
public duty and party fealty.
What the better element of the Re-
publicans will do in this emergency lie
matter that the ides OF November will
discover. 1t would be harsh to suppose
that the yoke OF Burns will be meekly
submitted to. The Republican is the
only parry in the state today which has
the unsnviable distinction of having a
mastor, and whose ticket is the result of
urclean methods. Can it be expected
that reform in laws and administration
will proceed from source that defea
every principle of honesty and decency
in caucus and convention methods?

ORGANIZE! ORGANIZE!

but, on the contrary, is radiant with
the promise of signal triumph. The
election Of Budd is within our reach if
we put forth proper efforts. Senator
Hill, in opening the campaign in Brook
lyn in September. 1898, in behalf Of
Cleveland and Stevenson, said: ITO
secure the victory that awaits US we
must organize - organize - organize y"
This advice he repeated at Syracuse q
few days ago. Thorough organization
is the thing needed in Los Angeles, as
elsewhere in this state, for this election.
The central committee, composed Of
some of our most active, intelligent and
able party managers, has gone to work
in earnest to make the organization
complete. The Democratic party may
feel assured that no pains will be spared
to accomplish this desirable end. But
the committee is powerless to carry on

which we are working is excellent; all
that is required to insure success is to

largely upon the intelligence, zeal and
activity OF the Democrats in each pre-.

A BEAUrIFUL BLIND WOMAN

She Left Her Husband to Consort With
Counterfeiter.
CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-The secret service

today that the prisoner was John
spayne, a notorious counterfeiter, a
fugitive ior three years. At the exam
ination today, beautiful woman, but
totally blind, announced herself as
Spayne's wife. James Morton, a we'll.
to-do merchant, called as witness, de-
clared the woman was his wife, who had
disappeared two years before. Recog-
nizing Morton's voice, the blind woman
piteously begged to be protected. She
acknowledged that she was Mrs. Nor
ton, but said her husband had treated
her cruslly. and she feared him.
Despite Morton's entreaties she refused
to go with MIN. She was allowed to
leave the court with guide, who had
accompanied her. Spayne was sent to

WAsHIEGToN, Oct. 15.-Another COM
plcstion has arisen regarding the free
alcohol section of the new tariff law :.
Secretary Carlisle, owing to the failure
of congress to make the necessary appro-
priation, is unable to put the law into
effect. Notwithstanding the secretary's
decision, it is contended that alcohol
used in the arts, etc, is free since
August 29th. Users Of alcohol in medi-
cine and in the arte want to know
whether they violate the law in remov-
ing the revenue stamps from the empty
barrels. If they do not, they will have
no evidence On which to base claims
against the government for the return
OF duty paid since the law went into ef-
feet. On the other hand, as the law
now stande, they are liable to heavy
penalties for not destroying the stamps
when the barrels are empty.
