A HIGHLY GIFTED LIAR.

The highly absurd statement OF Marion
Cannon that he was elected on the issue
of obtaining an appropriation for San
Pedro harbor is going the rounds of the
press, and it is being accepted as a state
ment of fact by those who have no
means Of knowing the truth. This an
tiquated hayseed was elected ID be-
cause he was nominated by the Popu-
lists. He received the nomination be-
cause he was always inveighing against
the railroads-'them railroads'
announcing with asinine reverberation
that they ought to carry people across
the continent for $3.50 a head, and be-
cause he held bimself forth as par er.
cellence the champion of silver and the
free coinage Of the white metal. Those
were the issues upon which Cannon se-
cured the Populist support. 1t is need
less to add that he betrayed his mis-
guided folio Hers, aud that today he
could not get Populist vote in his dis
trict for poundmaster. ca But the NOM
ination OF the Populists would have left
Cannon leagues away from an election.
In a moment OF besotment similar to
that which led the national Democracy
to nominate Greeley for president in
1872, the Democrats Of the Sixth dis
trict endorsed Cannon, thereby making
his election possible. Since then his
treason to his pledges has been only
equaled by his insidious assaults on the
English grammar. We always knew
that Cannon was good single handed
liar, but we never dreamed that in his
liveliest imaginative flights he could
invent such roorback as that he was
elected on the issue of San Pedro as a
deep ses harbor. He might just as we'll
claim that he was elected on the issue
OF restoring Jerusalem to the Jews, or
the restoration OF AIeace-Lorraine to
France, or the rehabilitation of the
kingdom Of Poland, or what not that is
fantastic and ridiculous. Marry come
up, Cannonl OF all the liars thoa art
assuredly the most villainous and far

The controversy between Robert Full
ford, the husband of Annie Pixley, and
the mother of the actress, waxes more
bitter day by day. The allegation that
Fulford hastened his wife's death, by
poison or otherwise, does not seem to
have leg to stand upon. But if the
sctress, as is alleged, left nearly four
hundred Thousand dollars, it is certainly
somewhat strange that she failed to pro-
vide for her mother and other members
of her family. Fulford talks as if he
had earned all the money himself,
which is certainly very queer way OF
putting the matter. He also dwells
upon the fact that he has always pro-
vided handsomely for his wife's mother,
and to prove it says he allowed her SIS
q month. Fulford's ideas OF mum i'll
cence are certainly not up to the stand
ard in vogue with oriental princes or
Russian boyars.

rant in front OF great railway station,
and throws his internal machine into
the midst of promiscUous crowd OF
people sitting at their meal. None Of
these people were known to him; per-
hsps not one OF them held any position
under the government the anarchists
want to annihilate, and they in nowise
were responsible for or could change or
amend the laws which the destruction
lists desire to wipe out. They were peo-
pie innocent of blame for any public
evils that may exist. The nearest ap-
proach to a srational connection with
the object of anarchist aversion they
could possibly have had was in the fact
that they were a portion of the society
against which the dynamiters are
wsging war.
We are therefore reduced to the con-
clusion that Bretone, who is not luna
tic, lie one of the monstrosities which
the doctrines of anarchism breed that
the rationale of his motive lie based upon
the teaching that for every Wholesale
assassination committed the anarchist
cause is advanced; that society will at
last become go saturated with terror by
the atrocious murders committed that
it will yield to its fears. One can I'M
derstand that in an ignorant age
vehmgerecht conspiracy could check the
despotism of petty tyrants; but no one
can trace out on reasonable principles
how the anarchists are going to remodel
society and better the condition of any
class by destroying society and produc-
ing universal anarchy. Society will
protect itself from these diabolical as
ssssins. 1t will execute all who are
guilty OF carrying out their principles;
and then, when that proves Intellectual,
it will extirpate all who profess or en-
terrain such murderous principles.

THE CRIME OF BREToNB.

The crimes of the Parsian anarchists,
Bretone and Ravachol, develop a new
and alarming phase in the diabolical
doctrines of their sect. In Bretone' S
case his strocious act appears without
motive, at least if it have one, it ia go
remote from practical result and so dis
tant from any actual bearing on the is
sue which the anarchists pretend to be
DESTROYS to bring about by their afro
cious practices, that it gives rise to the
gravest reflections.
The nihiliEts, in seeking the life of
the car, have motive which is per-
fectly understandable. The car is the
representative and embodiment of the
system against which they are waging
the war OF assassination. Valiant, in
hurting his bomb into the legislative
assembly of the nation, also proceeded
on an idea carrying with it traces of
logic. A mind not altogether unbal-
anced might make itself believe that the
body that has the power Of making laws
might be terrorized by dynamite into
curing the ills OF which the anarchists
complain. The Haymsrket massacre.
in Chicago, may be classed with the
crimes OF revenge. for in that instance
the anarchists had come to look upon
the police as the inveterate enemies of
themselves and their cause.
The crimes OF Bretone and Ravachol.
however, cannot be classed with these.
yet they show that the teachings of the
anarchists lead to extremes which can
not be reconciled to eny principle that
governs the action OF reasoning human
beings. Whilst they partake of the
character OF that Of the MsylayaD who
runs a-muck, yet they differ from it the
same as the indiscriminate stampede of
mad dog differs from the action of a
vicious canine that bites the strangers
who come within his reach.

THERE is one feature OF the orgsniza-

more than passing mention. One of the
members of this body is Mr.. F. W.
Stein, who is also member of the

likely that the Board itself may be the
subject of an investigation, it is on all
accounts desirable that it should be an
impartial one. The most ordinary sense

The San Francisco Bulletin, which is
to that city what the Evening Post is to
New York, says that California has the
most extravagant state government in
the union. and adds that "its exactions
are beginning to tell heavily on local
INDUSTRIES" 1t is not wholly untrue,
but why did it take the conservative old
Bulletin so long to find it out? Max
Pepper, chairman OF the Democratic
state central committee, some time ago
called attention to the cumbersome con-
dition of our state government and the
enormous expenses that grow out of the
same. As coon az the Democracy's
mouthpiece had sounded the keynote,
then the staid old Bulletin started in to
appropriate Democratic thunder. Econ
omy and reform in the state government
of California "has got to come" and
the Democratic party will get the credit
of it. Mr.. Fitch's organ has begun to
play just trifle too late.

A MODERN POOH-BAH.
SCHOOL DIRECTOR STEIN TO
SERVE AS A GRAND JUROR.
Attorneys SOY He Can Do So Legally
and That His Serving Is Only
Question of Pro-
prIety.

A great amount OF talk has been cre-
ated by Frederick W. Stein, member
OF the city board of education and one
OF the celebrated ''solid six" of that
body.
1t was not generally realized until
yesterday that the f. w. Stein OF 1890
Newton street, member of the board OF
education from the Sixth ward, and +.
w. Stein of 1890 Newton street, member
oil the new grand jury, are one and the
same person. but such is the fact.
1t was known that he had been drawn
in the original drawing of the grand
Jury. but there were very few people
who were spoken to about it who could
believe that he would have the indelics-
cy to serve on the grand jury while re-
naming at the same time member OF
the board OF education, whose acts are
very sure to be the subject OF investiga-
ton by the body, after the work done
IN that direction by the last grand jury.
The first expression dropped by any
who heard about the latest exhibition
by the board was that it must necessa-
rlly diequalify Mr.. Stein from serving on
DhO N anu Jury w U0 y InoLuUOI Vi viz
board, but the opinions of attorneys
who were consulted were to the con-
trary.
1t was stated by them that there was
nothing in his being on the board OF
education that legally disqualified him
from acting as grand Juror. He could
avail himself OF il as an excuse from
serving, but if he waived that right he
could be sworn in.
The attorneys stated that 1t resolved
Itself down to mere question OF pro-
priety and delicacy. II man was thick
skinned and did not have any Of the
finer feelings of gentleman there was
nothing to prevent him in legal way
from serving as grand juror in such a
cage.
Ii the acts of the members OF the
board OF education were made the sub
jsct of investigation by the grand jury
MIR. Stein could not sit during those aes-
sions of the body.
There WAS only one way that any one
expressed himself about the matter upon
the question OF propristy and taste.
That any one belonging to q board OF
education should accept place on
body that would in all probability be
obliged to pass upon its acts, was re-
garded as removing the man from the
plane of ordinary people and keeping
him elevated upon the pedestal of no
toriety which has been built by the
"solid six"
A CONTRAST.
Yesterday afternoon DR.. Geo. r.
Weeke, member OF the citizens labor
committee, filed in the city clerks Office
his resignation from the committee, for
the reason that he had been drawn as a
member of the new grand jury.
This committee is only temporary
creature of the city council, but DR..
Weeks considered that it wac his duty
to sever his connection with it when

Los ANGELES THEATER.-The Player
on Tuesday evening next. will be wit
messed by most distinguished gather
ing to SEQ Miss Edith Lemmert and her
talented husband, Lawrence Hanley.
The Columbus State Journal says of
the performance
The appearance of Mr.. Lawrence
Hanley and his superb company, at the
opera house last night, was perhaps one
of the most notable attractions that has
appeared here for years. Though Mr..
Han'ey is yet young man, he has
already proven himsef to be an actor of
no mean ability. The play is perhaps
one of the most novel productions ever
seen here. 1t Is full OF every kind of
dramatic teeling-from the sublime to
the ridiculous, and admirably suited to
the versatile genius of the rising young
tragedian.
The play opens with a scene from
Hamlet where Mr.. Hanley assumes the
role Of that melancholy hero.
But it is in the play which follows
that Mr.. Hanley shows his wonderful
versatility. He scars to the sublime,
carrying the feelings OF his audience
with him; then, in an instant, he ex-
hibits pathoa which is made more
powerful by his great tenderness and
then, like fash, he is reveling in the
jolly good humor of his joyous comedy.
On the whole, the engagement was a
great success. Mr.. Hanley captivated
his audience from the beginning, and
held it to the close.
