Joe Fratelo is O colored barber at 245
East street. He resides in Boyle Heights,
and occasionally misses the last car and
has to walk home.
Joe missed the last car Sunday night
by just a minute. He was in whistling
wouldn't stop, and now Joe is thinking
of asking the railway company to pay
him SO. which he Lost by the failure of
the conductor to stop the car and by the
conspicuous presence OF two bold foot
pads who met him on his way home.
The lonely wayfarer had just reached
Rio street, crossing First just east of the
bridge, when he was suddenly pouncsd
upon from behind by two men who de-
manded money. The barber was hardly
in position to refuse the demand of
the unwecome fellows, for with two
ugly looking revolvers at his head and
the arm of one OF the robbers drawn
tightly around his neck. he was well
nigh helpless.
The larger OF the footpads quickly
emptied the barber's pockets OF all his
days proceeds, amounting to 49, They
overlooked gold watch and revolver,
and, giving the victim shove, made
away in the dark. The fog was so
thick that no accurate description of the
robbers could be had.
Fratello. seeing the highwaymen pass
under an electric light, fired five shots
at them, without effect. The police are
looking for the footpads.

SENATOR WHITE 1ND THE EX.
PRESS.

The editor OF the Elk press has G per-
feet right to recent his removal from
public Office, but he should remember
that it is private matter affecting only
himeeli, and that while IN one sense he
may be an object OF sympathy, at least
to those who know how arGently and
even clamorously he sought seat at
the public crib, and how dearly he was
attached to the one he had obtained,
still he should also rememb ber that the
public at large have no interest in the
matter, and have grown thoroughly tired
OF his indecent Lamentations.
And when day alter day he flls his
columns with villainous personal abuse
and wilful misrepresentation of Senator
White, whom he evidently considers the
author OF his misfortune, he causes q
feeling OF uneasiness not unmixed with
disgust in the public mind. For one
one long year after the last presidential
election. while the editor OF the Express
wss holding Office under q Democratic
administration. the editorial columns Of
the Express breathed nothing but the
mildest spirit OF non -partisanship.
Mr.. Cleveland was always referred to

LIKE FATHER. LIKE SON.

Tue father OF the Democratic candi-
Stockton from Janesville, Wis. in 1856
and has been prominent man in the
Democracy OF that county ever since.
He Is man whose mind Is OF q judicial
and magsterial turn rather than thai
of an advocate; and go it ia that, while
he achieved no great fame at the bar,
his decisions on the bench have always
been upheld by the court OF last resort.
As an attorney in practice he might
have made good deal more money bad
scientious scruples. His name has
never appeared as an attorney for plain
tiff in any blsckmail suit, for breach of
promise nor in any suit to take away
any mans money without givinga JUS.
and fair equivalent.
He brought his son up the same way,
telling him it was better to keep out of
court altogether than 10 appear as attor-
ney for clients whose causes were dis
reputable. He told him that money
there was no dirt sticking to it. and the
son has faithfully obeyed the father's
injunctions. He is we'll of already,
though not rich in the ordinary accepta-
tion of the term. His refusal to be
mixed mp in any dirty suits has caused
James IL. Bndd to rank, as his clients,
all the woalthier and more influential
citizens OF San Joaquin county and those
adjacent thereto. He 10 man OF good
habits and clean methods, whose daily
hfe, like that of hia honored father, will
stand the crucial search OF being Judged
by the test Of good citizenship. He
could have surrendered to the railroad
lords o. dozen times while he was in
congress, ,sand put money in HE pocket,
,ut he prefsrged to keep hia name pure
and his manhood undefled.
The Democracy OF California have no
fear that such a.. man will lsad them to
defeat. He will poll euch vote in San
Joaquin that Mr.. Eatee will hardly
know that he was a candidate, and will
get about enough vo.esto be call "sca,-
sering." His nomination has not been
forced upon the party with which he
has ever been proud to affiliate. The
state stood in peril, It's security menaced
by one Of the most INSCRIPTIONS men
chat ever filled public station-Col
Daniel NJ. Burns, whose plant tool is
the Republican nominee. The hour
called for the man and that man was
James II. Budd. He comes into the
fight tramneled with no scandals of
purchased votes, nor violated pledges on
the part OF the delegates who nominated
him at San Francisco. AS the honest
and straightforward son OF an honest
father, ''plain Jim Budd" commends
himself to the votes Of the psople. No
man who votes to make him governor
will ever have cause 10 regret it. He is
o man whose record is too plainly writ
ten to be effaced. even il he go desired !;
and it is by that record that he is at all
times willing to be judged.

WHO IS DANIEL NJ. BURNS ?

The present autocras Of the Repub'
lican party of California, the man vino
selected Morris NJ. Estee as the standard
bearer of the Republican party in this
campaign. and who named nine-tenthf
.. the Republican state ticket, was
elected secretary OF state in 1873 and
went out Of Office on the 1st day Of jan
uary, 1888.
The result OF Mr.. Burns administra-
ton OF his Office is very ably summed up
in the following pithy paragraph from
the state controllers report for 1884.
The controller. referring to Mr.. Burns,
says:
In the preliminary examination oi
Mr.. Melone's books Melone was also a
defaulting secretary OF stste.-Ed.l. a
comparison wac made of the books OF
the last three secretaries of state, which
resulted in the immediate discovery of
the fact that d. NJ. Burns. late secretary
OF state, was also a defsulter.
"The stealings perpetrated during his
administration amounted to $3l, 1880.
They began almost at the hour he took
office, and ended only when he left it. ="
In the controllers report for 1887.
page 81. the following reference ia made
to the same matter:
'After this comes the case OF D. NJ.
Burns, late secretary of state, and his
deputy. Thomas II. Reynolds. The
amount of these defalcations. so far as
could be discovered, was $3l, 739. so. These
parties, on trial for their crimes. were
acquitted, notwithstanding the fact that
on the trial OF Burns. Burns charged
Reynolds with the crime, and on the
trial of Reynolds he charged it upon
Burns. And the jury in each case
seemed to believe the defendant by ac-
quitting both, although Burns admitted
that be embezzled the money, to shield
the deputy, and Reynolds admitted that
he falsi6ed the records for the purpo Sc
of shielding Burns in his embezzlements.
Civil actions are pending against Burns
and his bondsmen for the recovery ofthe
money stolen"
dents in the official career of the secre-
tary of the Republican state central
committee. After his escape from the
hands of justice, Mr.. Burns went to
Mexico. where he was srresred for steal
ing a mine.
Burns got away with the mine in the
end and returned to San Francisco, re-
putedly rich man. in time to assist in
the nomination of Governor MarBh
His subsequent history it is unnecessary
to dwell on. lie has, for the past four
years. been practically governor Of Cali

Estee is elected, Burns will govern US
for four years more, and, as he eeems
to enjoy the confidence of his party, he
may yet realize his ambition Of being

SWINDLER OSMOND DAY AT LAST
IN THE TOLLS.
Tbs Big Englishman Arrested by Do
tective Goodman on q Charge of
Vagrancy His Swind-
ling Scheme.

Osmond Dsy is at last in trouble. and
what's more, he is in jail. Detective
Goodman arrested Aim yesterday after
noon and booked him at the central
station on charge of vsgrsncy.
Day is the big Englishmsn who came
ago and talted in to fleece the unsus-
pecting who happened to fall in his
pathway. Women were his especial
delight, and when he could not make
their acquaintance with view to
swindling them he insulted them.
The scoundrel used to stay in q house
on Main street, opposite the postoffice.
Here he would stand upon the sidewalk
and ineult ladies who CHANGED along, al
ways trying to force himself upon their
attention. Many ugly stories have origi-
mated from his dirty actions toward Ia
dies.
Day was run ont of San Francisco by
the police. and Detective Anthony and
Sergeant Helms of that city, who are at
present visiting here, know him well.
He had much trouble in the metropolis
and wac soon classed as q swindler and
fraud.
Since coming to this city he has done
nothing in the way of legitimate busi-
ness but followed many schemes to VIC
timize people. His latest flake" wss

near the city. He had printed large
poster and handbills upon which were
the names of prominent Los Angeles

not appear at the performance and who
do not know of Days acts in using their
names for his personal benefits.

guilty of various indiscretions. Day

SIL YER AND TIE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.

The Republican platform of California
is unique, in that it declares in favor OF
silver at ratio of 16 to l. That party,
as represented in congress-, ia absolutely
opposed to silver. Not only did the Re-
publican congressional membership with
practical unsnimity oppose free coinage,
but the same individuals certified to the
faith that WAS in them by voting almost
to man against Mr.. Bland's bill for the
coinage OF the segniorage. There was
not single Republican eenator east of
the Mississippi river who voted in favor
of free coinage except Senator Cameron.
Mckinley and Reed, the two prominent
Republican candidates for the presi-
dency, have always been gold mono
metallists. There is not one OF the Re.
publican members OF the finance COM
mittee of the senate in favor of free coin
age, and, with the exec ption OF Senator
Cameron aud q sprinkling of western
Republican senators, there is no one in
that body outside of the Democratic
party and three Populists who favor sill.
YER. Our Republican contemporaries,
who declare otherwise. should study the
roll calls OF the last session. They dare
not detail the vote.
