Men OF National Character Have q
Good Word for Arkansas.

Col. DeMahler, Atlanta staff
correspondent Of the Little Rock
Gazette, in his letter Of the 9Th says
To the list Of many new friends gained
for Arkansas since the celebration of
October 30th it is plain that there has
been added the following named persons
and papers Of National character: Ex-
Senator Walsh. of Georgia; Senator
Morgan, Of Alabama Speaker C-iSp, of
Georgia DR.. Boggs, Chancellor Of the
University Of Georgia; Times Herald,
of Chicago; Times Democrat, of New
O-leans Globe, of ST. Paul, MINI. g.
and the Young Men Business League,
of Charleston, 5. c.
Senator Morgan for his part takes
occasion to say at all times and before
all people who speak of Arkansas that il
must be a good country and a good
people, having always sent men to
Congress Of whom he can personally
testify that. they are without any shadow
0t turning and without twist OF any
kind 20 their character. Speaker Crisp
/ No less sincere in his friendship. but

is absurd TO mention Carlisle. Black
burn. the currency. or any other feature
as a cause for Republican success. The
truth of the matter is the Democratic
platform denounced the A. P. A. and
they placed some Roman Catholics on
the ticket. Any man may become a
member of the association providing he
pledges himself never to vote for a
Catholic. The Republican platform in
Kentucky did not attack us. although
they did not indorse our principles, and
the result was that our association voted
the Republican ticket solidly. That is
the secret of the whole matter. In
Maryland there was no real American

any victory was scored there for the
reason that there was no fight of

LESSONS OF THE LATE ELECTIONS.

From the L. r. Sunday Tribune.
They show that the average gold bug
Democrat in Kentucky and Illinois will
turn traitor to his party when a free
silver man is its nominee He will
confederate with negroes and Repuhli
cans, to defeat a Democrat and then rush
around declaring the Democrat was tc
blame for his own defeat.
They say that Hardin S silver views
beat him in Kentucky, but how about
the gold bug candidates on the Demo
cratic ticket in Maryland, New Jersey
and New York;
Wat Hardin was defeated in Ken
tucky, but so was every gold bug Demo
crat that dared to show his head as a
candidate in any state, and vet every
little cuckoo editor is repeating the poll
parrot little speech that free silver got
black eyel' The simple is truth that
Clevelandism received stunning re-
buke wherever an election was held.
His persistent attempt TO force Repub
lican principles upon Democracy has
weakened the party in every state of the
Union.
People who become convinced in
favor of Republican principles do not
care TO take them second hand. If the
single gold standard is blessing, Re-
publicans are entitled TO the credit of it
and the American people will see to il
that John Shermans patent right is not
successfully infringed upon by Cleve
land, Carlisle Il Co.
Democrats must be Democrats, il
they expect to win. MaSquerading in
the old clothes and stolen livery of Re.
publicanism is no way TO win victories
for Democracy.
Democracy is either the party of the
people or it is nothing. Whenever it
turns its back upon the people they will
turn their backs ON it. With New York
and New Jersey hopelessly Republican.
Democracy must make its final appeal
to unite in a common cause the man
hood of the South and West. If il can
not win that way it cannot win at all.
If Democracy must go down, let it go
down flying its own flag. and not. like
pirate craft. flying the ensign of its
adversary

MESMER SAYS EXT0RI|ON
Telephone Charges Receive a
Public Airing
MR.. GEORGE PESSELL'S IDEA
Some Time Ago lie Wanted Telephone
Ordinance
His Resolution Was Referred to Committee
to S.eep, But May Never Be Rsss
urrected for Service

Some time ago Councilman George Pes
sell introduced a resolution aimed at reg
ulating telephone charges throughout the
city by ordinance. The matter was refer
red to the finance committee of the coun-
Gil. where it was put to sleep. Joseph
Mes,ner is the instrument which will
ressurrect the matter, he having yester-
day filed the following comm unication.
which will be acted upon by the board Of
public works on Friday:
Being q representative of one OF the
largest tax payers in this city, deem it
my duty to call attention to the discrim-
mate and gross injustice demanded from
residents in my neigh borbood by the
Sunset Telephone Co. Living in East Los
Angeles and within three blocks distance
from the nearest telephone. | was inform
ed by the division superintendent that it
would lost me sixty dollars ($60) per
year for mileage in addition to their reg
ular monthly charge, making in all about
ninety dollars $500 per annum. 1 then
asked the superintendent as to their
method of arriving at this charge OF sixty
dollars $500 per annum. He said our
regular charge to every one is $3.50 for
each circle after the first circle from GEN.
tral station, and there being eight quarter
circles, would cost me eight times 81 so.
or $780, But l said l can build a connect
ing line from your nearest teller hone tor
about $40, which would last for years;
then why charge me $50 year? Well.
these ar, our terms and I cannot better
them. I says. how is it that parties liv
ing from one-half to mile farther from
your central station than l do receive this
use of the telephone service at regular
monthly rates without this extra charge
of mileage? Oh. for these we have another
station from which We figure our mileage.
l replied that this was but a subtsrfuge
and base discrimination against other
portions of the city not equally favored:
1t seems to me, in the light of these
facts. it is high time to know whether
sxtortiuns of this kind are permitted
without restraint or correction.
l, therefore, respectfully request your
honorable body to refer this communics-
tion to its proper committee for investi-
cation, and oblige.

THROWN FROM A HORSE

Every Han to His Own Trade Is the
Fired Jenny is a tonsorIal artist who
clips whiskers and shaves faces at 1277%
West First street. Today he is wiser,
but sadder man. Sunday afternoon he
hired spirited horse for horseback
ride. He stated he wanted a fractions
animal, and he got it-and m ore than he
bargained for. Fred is an experien ced
rider. but nevertheless attempted to prove
to some frienus on Boyd street that he
could surpass Professor Gleason as q
horse trainer. Jenny's intentions were
good, but the animal wouldn't have it
that way. The spectators who had assem-
bled to see the barber perform some feats,
had their wishes con piled with. but not
in q manner that suited the venturesome
horseman. The horse did not like Jenny's
style apparently. and with couple of
jumps in the air, he started on a circuit
to suit himself. Fred held on as long as
possible to the saddle, but in this posi-
ticn he did not last for any length of
time. At the corner of Third and Los
Angeles streets the festive razor manipu.
lator was thrown violently to the ground.
and when picked up serious results were
feared. 1t was ascertained that the in
jured man had received decorations and
bruises on his head and left arm. as we'll
as on a portion of his body, which are
quite painful. He also had his Sunday
suit almost torn from his person. The
animal continued his flight and at the
corner of Main and Third streets ran into
an obstruction and was knocked down,
but escaped injury. Jenny has no furth or
desire to show his friends how ne can
break a bronco a la Gleason. He has had
enough and will retire from the arena.
