TIVE effort by the New Era association,
the members Of which have been drawn
from the ranks OF the unemploy ed,
should receive the hearty encourage
ment of every citizen Of Los Angeles.
These people are making an HONEST en-.
deavor to help themselves. They have
adopted the cooperative plan, and they
ask the people to give them al oppor-
tunity to better their condition, offering
to perform any duty of which thoy
are capable for q reasonable compenss-
ton. The members of tho association
have, in measure, been compelled to
organize ON this basis, and it is unkind
to accuse them OF interfering with the
opportunities of others equally deserv.
ing. These people are trying to accom-
plish in unison something which they
found virtually impossible sevsrally.
and they srs willing to welcome
to thsir ranks az co.workers
al who arc equally willing to perform
an honest day's work. 1t is this effort
ON the part of the laboring masses that
distinguishes tho honest workingman
from the lazy, dissolute and criminal
tramp. II the workingmsn OF this city
will all stand for the principles praoticed
by tho New Era organization the
tramp problsEa oan be easily settled. for
there will Nc longer be difficulty in dis
eliminating between the deserving and
the vicious. The former will
find encouragement for honsst labor and
the latter can be made to serve the com.
munity involuntarily in the chain gang.
The tramp who will not work when il is
offered Ia undeserving of sympathy or
assistance, but on the othsr hand. the
man who tries to perform hia duty to
himself and his fellow man 10 worthy of
the most cordial announcement.

THE TROLLEY TIE-UP.
Men and Companies Both Standing
Pat.

BROOKLYN, Jan. 15.-Both sides in the cleo
trio street railway strike show determined
front today. -0n t,ie- C0uTtstrec. line 20 cars
are being run at irregular intervals, each
guarded by two to eight policemen. The
trikers or friends obstructed the tracks by up
setting barrels of ashes. The rubbish wa
cleared away by laboreis, and a mail car was
sent out at 7;i2 o'clock, preceded by six
mounted policemen, whilo eight uumounted
policemen rode in the car. 1t passed though
the district where the strikers are reported
more reckless than elsewhere, but the manner
IN which it was guarded overawed any
who might have been inclined to
lawlessnes'. The United States mail car on
the Flatbush avenue line was started out at
1913 O'Clock and the company announced it
was determined to run mail cars all day The
strikers contemplate presenting petition to
Mayor Shieren today asking him to end the
tie-up by virtue of his official Iower and will
cite the action taken by Mayor Pingree of De-
troit in 1891, when he said the railroad COM
panies had violated the ten-hour law, and
warned them that If the strike then in progress
was not over in twenty-four hours he would
declare their charters forfeited. A meeting of
the strike committee of the surface lines was
held early TO-DAY. The members refused to tell
what action had been taken.

IT.
The Express did not support Mr.. Budd for
governor, but as q newspaper devoted to the
interests of California first, desiring the well
fare of the state above everything, it trusts he
will make good chief executive and d charge
the duties of the office with credit to himself
and the state.
From our esteemed Angeleno contemporary
come the foregoing conciliatory words, and it is
indeed refreshing to know that the dear public
will have a rest from the onslaught which that
cratic journal has been making on Mr.. Budd
because some lop-eared ward politician of
San Francisco said he was not honestly elected.
ii the Express will go on simply trusting

II. Budd will make q good chief executive if he

BOODLEISM.

The people generally may not be aware
how extensively boodleism prevails. 1t
includes more than the payment of each
down for official favors. Boodlesm ia
the life and soul of bossism aud machine
politics, for it includes parceling out
nominations and appointments in CON-
psnsation for political work. The bcss
says to Tom: You do this and you shall
have such an Office, or bs nominated for
it; to Dick. if you will bring up q
delegation that will support Tom. you
shall be his ohisf deputy and to Harry,
If you will give va the delegates from
your ward and Tom is nominated and
elected, we will get enough money out o
him to pay you for your work, or you
shall be employed in such position, or
have fat contract.
Machine politics is for no purpose but
to have in Office men who can be used to
advantage in places where there ia
patronage or money to be expended for
the benefit of those who are cogs in the
machine. II is all for the purpose of
controlling party nominations and plum.
dering the people.
Boodlssm goes farther. The machine
men are supposed to have influence with
those whom they have caused to be
nominated, and the unwary people have
elected, and can dictate the dispenHation
of patronage. Those who are not sup.
posed to have earned places by work
for the machine are expected to put ur
cash for appointments, and the ward
bosses demand it as coolly as if it were
thu price on horse or COW, and the
seekers for places to an extent that
would be astonishing to tho unsophisti-
Gated, do from time to time pay per-
csntage from their salaries. No wonder
there is not more economy and rigid
honesty in the discharge OF public duties.
The boss could not run his machine
without patronage Doodle or cash Doodle.
Dan Burns wanted to have Nose Gunst
appointed police com missioner that his
police force could be relied ON to help
his machine.
The machine makes nominations for
Office and dictates how official duties
shall be performed and what police
sh&ll be pursued, and not the people,
who have to foot the bills. And this
system will prevail just as long as tho
people will not interfere. When the
people shall cast about for candidates of
their choice and take care that they are
nominated, machine politics, bossism
and boodleism will disappear. Then the
people will have some voice in the ap-
pointmens of deputies and assistants.
and doing dirty work or putting up cash
for influence will disappear. Then
aspirants for popular favor will not first
seek the boss and his strikers for sup.
port. 1t is for those who hold good gov
eminent in highest confederation to say
whether boodleism shall pass. into
ignominous oblivion.

WASHINGTON, JAN 14.-Franklin W. Joplin
was appointed postmaster today at Elizabeth
town, KY, vice Mrs. Benz Helm.
The circumstances surrounding the case
make it one of unusual interest, General Ben
Hardin Helm, the husband of Mrs. Helm, was
one of the most gallant soldiers in the confed-
crate army. He was the commander OF the
famous Orphans brigade and was killed at the
battle of Cbickamauga.
Mrs. Helm, the postmstress who wag re-
moved today, was a younger sister OF Mrs.
Abraham Lincoln, who was Todd. Colonel
Robert Lincoln was her nephew. and when he
was appointed secretary OF war by President
Garfield he secured his aunts appointment as
postmistress of EliZabethtown. That position
she has held through three administration
