The news from Fall River and New
Bedford is certainly distressing. Actual
suffering exists and the want of food Is
felt in many households. There is no
doubt that the majority of the help are
willing to return to work on almost any
terms, and the pressure for compromise
or surrender Is becoming irresistible. The
strike is simply ono incident in the pro-
cess of rcadjusting American industries to
meet tho conditions consequent upon the
Democratic tariff. While 1t is going on
the laborcrs get no wages and the mill
owners no profits. In the end both will
be obliged to fnce the inevitable, and work
and do business for less money Lowell

PoPPRR. BUCKLEY AND KELLY.

That was novel and refreshing read
ing which we gave yesterday consisting
OF an interview with Max Pepper about
the charges brought against him by
Andy Clunie, brother of Thomas j.,
ex-member of congress. We say novel
and refreshing, because as a general
thing the secrets Of boodling by political
tricksters rarely come to the public in
the shape of free and off-hand confess
ion of the per6dy by the party in inter
est. Yet here we have the open admis
sion of Pepper that he and Buckley and
Kelly were partners in public cor tracts,
and that they paid, through their Kelly,
$3.50 a month to another sweet cembina-
tion-Crimmins & Kelly-to fix the
boa I'd OF supervisors go that their con-
tract for sweeping the streets should not
be interfered with.
Il will be remarked that Pepper, the
chairman OF the Democratic state CEN
tral mmittee, who has poeed before
the people as a reformer and retrencher
OF public expenditures, gives this infor-
nation to the reporter as If it were
merely the recital of an ordinary buoi-
nsss transaction and not OF an act sat
urated with the worst elements of fel-
ony. We ere not much concerned
whether the Democratic state central
committee kick Pepper out OF their cir
Gle or not; but we are concerned in the
public prosecution OF Pepper and all the
parties IMPLICATED. and the landing OF
them in San Quentin, where they prop
erly belong.
Joseph p. Kelly, one OF the delectable
partnership trio, is the Democratic nom
inee for congress from the Fifth district.
Whether his connection with this nefa-
rious transaction dimiuishes his chances
for election or not is question in these
days OF political pollution. But il the
party in that district is not as lost to the
moral instinct as Pepper, it will hasten
to take his name off the ticket, and do

the pachydermatous cutiole of the ma
tional perversity. But as nobody has
ever seen the president in q condition

only be regarded as being offensive, to

A SAILORS TERRIBLE FALL.
Using His Sea Legs on Land
May Result Fatally.
How N. ROkka Walked Off q Santa
Monica Bluff.
He Was Found Upon the Rookie,
Crushed and BiesdiaE, After
Having Fallen Seventy
three Feet.

A Russian named NJ. Rokka is lying
at deaths door at the receiving hospi.
tai. His skull is crushed. his arm
broken and his body horribly mutilated.
He has been wholly unconscious since
early yesterday morning, when he fell
from the top OF bank at Santa Monica,
near the big wharf. He fell distance
OF 73 feet by exact measurement. and it
is wonder that every bone in his body
was not broken.
Rokka was sailor on the Southern
Pacific steam collier San Msteo, Cap
tain Fletcher, plying between Victoria
and Port Los Angeles. He shipped from
the latter port on the vessel two weeks
ago, and made the return trip just the
other day.
Sunday afternoon Rokka left the ves-
sci without permission OF the officers.
about s O'Clock yesterday morning he
was found unconscious, crushed and
bleeding upon the rocks at the foot of
perpendicular bank. 1t is supposed
that he had been drinking, and in at
tempting to find his vay aboard the San
Mateo at night met with the terrible
accident. The bluff all along the vicinity
of the wari is unusually high and danger
GUS, and it was at the highest point
whore the poor sailor met his fate. His
hat was found some distance back upon
the bluff, indicating that a struggle
might have ensued before he fell below.
but there was no further signs of foul
play.
The sailor was picked up for dead. and
Captain Fletcher notified. He was later
placed on the Southern Pacific train
and brought to this city at IL O'Clock.
and the railway ambulance conveyed
him to the receiving hospital.
DR.. F. X. Ainsworth and Police Sur
geon Bryant did all they could to relieve
the unfortunate man, but they soon
gave up hopes of ever saving his life.
The frontal bone was found to have been
fractured very badly, enough in itself to
cause death.
Little is known of Rokka. except that
he was an old sailor and had resided at
Santa Monica for some time.
At late hour last night he was etill
alive, though he had not regained con-
sciousness.

what it can to have him rsilrosdsd to
the penitentiary.
Then again Crimmins and the other
Kelly should be looked after, and if they
cannot show that the blackmsil money
was not paid over to them. they should
also be placed on the road to wear striped
garments. And if, on the other hand,
they received the bribe money and used
it as Pepper. Buckley and Kelly intend
ed 1t should be used, the guilty super
vsors should be smoked out and made
to take their place with the rest in the
locked-step march.
No wonder that these political bosses
get rich. Chris Buckley, from bar
keeper, has become g man OF wealth
so, too, we believe, are Crimmins and
Kelly, who have bossed Republican
politics in San Francisco ever since the
death of Bill Higgins. Pepper, it is
also said, has piled up a comfortable
sum. Bill Higgins, we believe, is the
only boss who failed to amass fortune.
He was an exception to the ruls. He
loved power better than money, and
although engaged in an unprincipled
vocation, he was not without sturdy
principles Of good faith with those that
served him and those whom he elevated
to position.
San Francisco has now q chance to
throw bombshell into the ranks of the
political manipulstors who have for
years fattened themselves upon her SUBJ
stance, and to bring them to grief. She
has the opportunity of teaching the
whole putrid gang a lesson that may
help to purify politics not only in the
metropolis but in other suffering COM
munities.

TIE irrigation convention which met,
