dividuals to aid private enterprises and
build fortunes, is none the less robbery
because done under the forms OF law and
is called taxstion"P
With or without blush, the Record
Union must acknowledge that when the
state board OF equalization shifted
81, 500, 900 of tax burden from the South
ern Pacific railroad onto the shoulders
OF the unoraanized taxpayers of Califor-
MIA, it was imposing public taxation for
a private corporations benefit. Fur
thermore, should that powerful corpora
tion, which stands behind the ticket
nominated at Sacramento, eIcceed in
becoming the beneficiary of moneys
from the United States treasury to con-
atruct deep sea harbor at Santa Mon
lea, where it has q monopoly of the
water front. another illustration will be
afforded of public taxation for private
enrichment.

MIR ESTEE AND THE COLORED
TOTERS.

It is to be sincerely hopsd that we are
not to have another 'old pard" episode
in this campaign. In that case Governor
Markham denied that he wrote a certain
letter which the supreme court of the
state Of California decided he did write
At the time Governor Markham made
that denial Dan Burns was managing
his campaign, and the governors friends
have always claimed that it was at
Burns instigation he denied it.
At the present time Mr.. NJ. M. Estes
is the Republican candidate, and by a
strange coincidence. he was nominated
by Dan Burns, whose attorney he is, and
Burns is also managing Mr.. Estee's
campaign, indeed Mr.. Burns is manag-
ing the whole Republican campaign. as
he is secretary Of the Republican state
central committee.
Mr. Estee has been accused Of having
in the assembly of 1868 introduced
certain amendment to bill which pro-
vided for the admission OF negro testi.
mony in courts OF justice. Mr. Estee's
amendment provided that the testimony
of negroes should only be received when
corroborated by the testimony OF whits
men. In support of his amendment he
made bitter speech rejecting in severe
terms on the whole colored race. Act
ing probably under the evil counsel of
Dan Burns, Mr.. Estee denies the au-
thenticity of the speech; he is client
about the amendment. but as Republi.
can organs throughout the state deny
that also we print the record, which will
be found in the Journal OF the California
| Assembly for the fourteenth session on
pages 307, 3l2and 3l3.

PRESIDENT E. N. CONDIT
INSTALLED AS PRESIDENT OF
OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE.
A Brilliant Rscsption to the New Head
of That Tnstitution-Fsature
of the Ocoa-
sion.

The students of Occidental college last
Thursday evening gave brilliant recep-
tion to the new president of that institu-
ton, Rev. Elbert N. Condit, who ar
rived a short time ago from the north.
Not only nearly all the students but
quite number oil invited guests were
present to do him honor. The decora-
tions on the walls. mingled with chry-
santhemums of every description and
many other kinds OF flowers, lent an in
describable beauty and freshness to the
halls and parlors.
The president and faculty, composed
OF Rev. Elbert N. Condit, president; Rev.
James II. Parkhill. vice. president; Prof.
Sydney Tangier Smith and Mrs. Juliet

rated parlor, near center table covered
with chrysanthemums OF every descrp-
ton, resem bling q miniature mountain

handshake with all present Prof. j. w.
Parkhill, acting as master of cere-
monies, announced that the audience
would now listen to a violin solo by A.
E. Bell, '95. Following WAS we'll rem
dered vocal solo by Mise Maud Bell.
Prof. Parkhill, in behalf of the Stu
dente, gave an address of welcome to
the president, in which he said that
the students extended to him the hand
OF welcome and good-lello lowehip as was
evidenced by the decorations and the
expressions Of their countensnces that
it was their earnest desire to promote
the best interests of the institution with
willing hearts and hands.
Miss Bartlettson, Miss Ervie Raer and
Mr.. Ransaur gave a guitar trio, all OF
which wac rouEdly applanded.
Suddenly from every nook and corner,
it seemed, there came the shout well
known among all students OF Speech,
Prof. Condit, epeech. speech!" After
listening to the students almost crack
ing their throats the president arose and
said that he rejoiced to see the lively
and independent spirit manifested by
them; that they had the faculty "in
line" and intended to keep them there
that the faculty were glad to yield to
their management; that the students
should be interested in the welfare OF
tween the faculty and students should
not only be cooperative, but reciprocal
Mics Brown rendered a melodious

Ragged-edged cards, upon which were
written topics OF conversation, were now
given to all the gentlemen present, and
at the tap OF the bell they would move
in rotation to each lady present and
commence some specified topic of con-
versation. 1t was but a short time when
there appeared before the audience come
of the students carrying immense trays
OF ice-cream and cake. of which all par
took. Before leaving for home they in-
vited the visitors to join in singing the
familiar college songs, Mush Mueh !

THE EVENING EMPRESS AND
GEORGE S. PATTON.

The Evening Express is suffering
with Patton on the brain. Every even
ing it seems to have a protrscted fit
frothing at the mouth and mutterinc
silly lies. such as that Patton is de-
| nouncing Colonel Meesmore and his
friends as hirelings of the Southern
Pacific railroad; that Patton is himself
telegraphing to the HERALD the glow
ing reports Of his own speeches; that
Patton having been once the attorney
for the Southern Pacific railroad is now
working in the interest of that corpora
tion; that Patton is the owner of i'm
mense real estate at San Pedro and
would become a millionaire if the deep
sea harbor were located there-and
many other weak and baseless utter
ings too numerous to mention. The
question is sometimes asked by the un-
initiated, Why is that paper so crazy
about Patton? Why is it that in oil OF
its denuncistions OF other Democrats it
always eliminates in the heinous
charge that they are friends of
George s. Patton and trying to
elect him TO congress? The answer is
plain to thoee who can peep littls be.
hind the scenes. The Express is un-
doubtedly the hired advocate OF the
Southern Pacific Railroad company,
and especially of it's president, @. p.
Huntington. Huntington looks on
Geo. S. Patton as the arch enemy of his
pct scheme-to monopolize the deep sea
harbor of Los Angeles and Southern
California. He has reason to go regard
him. Geo. S. Patton as the chosen rep
resentative of the chamber OF commerce
of Los Angeles city, had the boldness to
beard him in his den-at Washington
City-and before the committee OF COM
merce OF the United States senate to ex-
pose his selfish schemes in regard to that
harbor. 1t is said that on that occasion
aud since, Huntington has declared that
by all means, and above ell other things
that young man Patton must not be al
lowed to 60 to congress. Thus his hire
ling paper doubtless has positive orders
to concentrate all of its efforts on
Patton.
Its efforts, the only kind it knows
how to use, are the daily issues OF long
strings of such weak and mendacious
statemen as those above referred to.
Huntington should require the paper to
do something better or discharge it
from his pay roll.

tween II and O'Clock this morning.
Frank Kehoe was cut twice, the most
serious wound being deep stab in the

them with request for dime. Being
refused one of the trio suddenly pulled
out q pocket knife and began cutting.
Kehoe walked to the police station,
where his wounds were dressed, and
within half an hour Officer Bates had
arrested Charles Stewart as the man
who did the deed. Kehoe positively
and emphatically identified Stewart.
and he was locked up. The whole crowd
are of the ultra tough order.
Later Officer Bates made another
haul and landed Theo. Campbell, who
was found in the Russ houee. He is q
partner of the man who did the cutting,

The formal recognition by Queen Victoria Of
