lawyer, made some uncomplimentary re-
marks, which We're overheard by Mr..

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 30.-The
preliminary examination of Alva John

few days ago on the charge Of hav-
ing robbed the Southern Pacific train
at Rosario on Feb. 10, took place this
morning. Johnson is a prominent ciu-
zen owning a large ranch near here and
great interest was manifested in the

was that the description of the wagon

Of the robbery occurred tailed exactly
with the description OF the wagon used

a Bit Of History for mr. Kolb

The New York Evening Post, in com
menting upon the address issued by the
Kolb leaders in Alabama. in which an in
timation is thrown out that Mr.. Kolb in
tends TO have himself sworn in as gov
ernor and TO set up a government Of his
own in that state. calls attention to the
I Dorr rebellion in Rhode Island which oc-
CURED half century ago. Mr.. Dorr did
what it is inferred Mr.. Kolb thinks of
doing. He set up a government in oppo-
sition TO the one regularly chosen, and at
/ tempted to get President Tyler 70 recog-
nize him. President Tyler, however.
was altogether too clear-headed a man
/ to do anything so foolish. He
/ recognized the regularly elected COVER
nor. The result was that the Dorr crowd
was dispersed by the Rhode Island mill
tia, and Dorr himself was arrested, tried
for treason, convicted and sentenced to
Imprisonment for life He was subse-
quently pardoned, but his experience was
such that he was not disposed to make
any further effort TO be governor of
Rhode Island.
There was considerable litigation grow
ing out of the Dorr rebellion, and one of
the cases reached the supreme court
That tribunal decided that the decision of
the President Of the United States, as TO
which of the claimants of the Office of
governor of a state is the governor, is
final
Suppose that Mr.. Kolb should claim to be
the legally elected governor of Alabama,
and should insist upon discharging the
duties Of the governor Office, would not
the President have to decide whether he
or Col Oates was the governor2 Accord
ing to the decision of the supreme
court in the Rhode Island case he would.
There is no doubt he would decide in
favor of Col Oates. He could hardly do
otherwise. Col. Oates has clear major
ity Of about $4,000 votes. Mr.. Kolb has
nothing upon which to base his claim.
He simply asserts that he was elected
and charges that there were frauds COM
mitted. But what does the asser-
ton amount to- 1t would be Just as
easy for Mr.. Kolb to charge fraud if the
majority against him had been twice as
large
1t is hardly probable that Mr. Kolb
will appear as claimant for the COVER
norship. He knows that Col. Oates is
not the sort of a man that can be trifed
with, and that it would be exceedingly
dangerous for him to attempt to seize the
governorship. Col. Oates would not hes
itate to enforce the law against him. In
that event Mr. Kolb's chance for success
would be so small that it would be hardly
worth taking into consideration. 1t is
pretty safe to say. that beyond brag and
buster but little more will be heard of

Some People Are Exaotinr.

drug Store in he-centraL part Of the city last
evening and asked the clerk if they kept pos

she pulled a small pocketbook from her
pocket, and after looking through it, she said
she wanted cents worth. The clerk smiled
and said that he could not give her cents
worth. as they only kept cent stamps. She
picked up the nickel which she had laid on
the counter, and started toward the door.
She stopped before she had reached it and
looked around at the clerk and said:
We'll, you people in this store are the most

The Tariff Bill.

The Senate yesterday won the contest
in which il has been engaged with the
| House for more than a month. The
House rescinded it's action by which il
appointed conferees, and concurred in all
the amendments which the Senate made
to the Wilson bill
The democratic leaders became con
WINGED that it was the purpose of a few
| democratic senators to defeat all tariff
/ legislation rather than permit the bill,
as passed by the Senate to be changed IN
any important particular. A caucus of
the democratic members Of the House
was at once called and plan agreed upon
by which it could be clearly shown who
of the democratic senators are response
bic for the defeat of such a tariff law as
the people want It was decided to aC-
cept the Senate amendments to the Will
son bill, and thus save the bill, and then
to pass at once separate bills putting
sugar, iron ore, coal and barbed wire on
the free list. This programme the House
proceeded to carry out, and when these
bills reach the Senate it will be dis
covered who the Senators are who object
to free coal and free iron ore. and who
of them are the allies of the sugar trust.
No doubt an effort will be made in the
Senate TO take up these separate bills at
once, and the senators who object will go
on record as opposing them.
If Senators German, Brice and Smith
are not the secret friends of the sugar
trust who have been working TO give that
concern a chance to tax the people to the
extent of many millions of dollars an
nually beyond a legitimate profit, they
will have a chance to show they are
not. Those who are its allies,
and who are responsible for
the outrageous concessions to it will be
smoked OUT" as it were. The people
will learn who the senators are who have
given the sugar trustthe power to put I'M
1ustifiable burdens upon them, and they
will see to it that these senators are
made to feel the full weight of public con-
domination.
There is no doubt that the president
will sign the bill. Although it is not
such a bill as the people expected, and as
they wanted, it is a great improvement
upon the Mckinley tariff. Under its infu-
ence it may be reasonably expected that
the country will enter upon a period of
great prosperity.
