Lowry matter, viz, that the indictm enl
did not charge an offense committeu
prior to the date Of filing. The courl
very sensibly held that ITO accuse one OF
the com ission of q crime is to charge
its commission prior to the accusation
| Again, las already stated, to accuse is
to state that the act charged was commit
ted prior to the accusation" The fact
that mxn indicted for a crime must
have committed it, If at all, previous to
the date of indictment is a common sense
proposition that hardly needs to be
| affirmed by supreme court.
| Surely the judge c: department. one
| has given usa specimen OF technical
reasoning gone very much to seed.
The upshot of the matter will probably
be that the Lowry embezzlement charge
will be lost in the shuttle of the future.
From the point OF view of public inter-
ests this will be reereiable indeed. not
because tne'e is any general desire to see
Mr.. Lowry guest of the state prison,
for we are satisfied that the people are
convinced that he is but scspe goat,
and protited little if at all by the misap-
preparation of public funds. But the trial
of the indicted man would beyond Ques-
ton have developed the real recipients
of the taxpayers ducats. Lowry would
eventually have told the truth to save
himself, and the real culprits, most likely
men who stand we'll up in the front ranks
of the local party of God and morality.
would have been divulged.
IL Mr.. Lowry is an innocent man, as he
insists he is, he can Eever afford to rest
his liberty on the miserable shadow of
techncality. And such technicality.
He owes it to himself his family and the
friends VINO have kept faith in his
honesty, to tell the truth now, even
though he be absolutely safe from the
ordeal OF trial, which is by no means
sure.
The whole thing leaves a bad taste in
the public mouth and reflects dscredis
in abundance on the accused. the prose-
cution and the court.

WANTON EXTRAVAGANCE CLOAkED

This reign OF economy that Los An
geles county has been enjoying in the
matter of government for some years
past, and more particularly inst at pres
ent, is perhaps exemplitied quito fully
when 1t is stated that during the past
fifty -fou- months $375, 555.S2 has been
expended and charged up to public
charity
There is no one who will for one
moment protest against the proper relief
of the poor and the unfortunate.
Charity properly bestowed is beautiful
thing. But to cloak reckless expenditure
OF the taxpayers money under the head
Public Charity" IL contemplate
piece OF trickery that even the lowest
scoundrcls would hardly DO expected to
stoop to.
1t will be noted that in the itemized
statement of the expense of RAINING the
county hospital and poor farm, that oi
salaries is the principal one. Fat salarie.
are paid and everything is run on q most
expensive plan. The average cost OF
maintaining inmates at the county hos
pital is $lG.Oo per month, which Is an
outrageously high figure. The average
at the county poor farm is $l1.50 per
head, which is also astonisbingly high.
The grand jury are convinced that the
cost OF conducting both these institutions
IS lust about twice the amount that should
be expended. The infringement is reck-
essly cytravagant and the salaries raid
superintendcntS are exorbitantlv high.
Here once more the grab all you can
GET policy IS exhibited, and as usual
tine public treasury is the spot where the
Garrotcrs hands land.

A SICkENING FIASCO

The Lowry Indictment incident is quite
the most ludicrouS and in what it sug-

happened in the court house on the hill

While the blunder OF the district attor-
ncy's office, en- bellished as 1T is with five
full.grown lawyers selected from the
upper tendon Of the political party that
long since secured letters patent to be
the wit, wisdom and eloquencs of the
whole country, including Oklahoma, is
bad enough and deserves nothing but
condemnation, the action OF Judge Smith
in quashins the indictment on the
grounds stated is simply inexplicahe.

no means excusable in the light OF the
supreme courts decision in the case OF

TO THE EDITOR
Tho Correct Estimate Of Carlisle

Editor Herald Your editorial of this
date is eminentlyj just, especially this
portion:
Among the preposterous vaporings OF
our Literally misinformed con TEN porary
is the statement that MIR. Carlisle lis as
great an adept at packing conventions as
any Tammany leader Anyone who has
the slightest acquaintance, personal or by
repute with the secretary of the treasury
will laugh at this imputatiun against Mr1
Carlisle of all men.
No man in public life has attained po,
litical advancement with SO little person
al eyertion for invitation. Kentucky de-
lighted to honor him in every way posi-.
BILE, and he owes nothing to, and is the de-
spair Of the practical politicians, He has
ever been man engfossed il the study
of legal and state questions and, but for
the insistence of friends, who took the
matter in their own hands, would have
preferred to rise in the legal profession
TO the chair of chief justice of the United
States, to which post President Cleve-
land would have nominated hin and
which he would have gracsd with digni-
ty and judicial eninence equal to the
great John Marshall.
Mr.. Carlisle is AS utterly unaoquainted
with the practical methods of securing
majorities in . convention as q 3-year old
child. His success in political advance
ment has been entirely due to the &C.
knowlsdgcd transcsndent ability whi,h
has characterized his career. As for cor
ruption either in Tammany methods or
otherwise, no man who knows him thor
oughly could dare, with truth, 10 assert
it about ihm.
| disagree in toto with the views and
acts of Mr.. Carlisle for the past thirty
months. You have set forth thu actual
status with fidelity and justice. Mr..
Carlisle diu not wish to go into tho cab
met. He desired to enter into the prac-
tice of law in New York and to make
something for the future support of his
family. The political lie has impovsr-
IsIed MIN and he owns today only his
residence In Washington. which was un-
der mortgage two years ago for nearly
its value, and he has besides residence
in Covington. Ky.
1t is the custom of the libcous press
and bitter politicians to accuse their m ost
brilliant and powerful advsrsaries of ali
kinds of bsseness and venality. In the
case Of Mr.. Carlisle the most gross per-
version of fact has been employed.

A Policeman Named Blackburn Who Got

A Policeman Named Blackburn Who Got
Very Gay
a policeman named Blackburn has
charged T. J. Cuddy with disturbing the
peace.
Mr.. Cuddy was standing on First street,
near Main, concersing with Hugh Nc
Gee, who has for forty years been a resi-
dent OF Los Angeles and Blackburn came
along and ordered MCGEE 10 move on.
Before he had an opportunity t, do So
the policeman pushed him into the street.
Mr.. Cuddy protested against this rough
handling of his elderly friend. Blackburn
began boisteious display of authority
and placed Mr.. Cuddy under arrest. He
offered to g. TO the station, two blocks
away, with blackburn, but the latter re.
fused. lie called up the patrol wagon
and forced Mr.. Cuddy to submit TO the
indlgnity OF riding through the crowded
streets in the wagon. Tbs original charge
preferred by the policeman was resisting
an officer. Ascertaining that there was
absolutely 10 foundation upon which to
base that charge the policeman changed
II to disturbing the peace. Now he has
until Monday to prove that charge.
blackburn asserts tlet Mr.. McGeo was
drunk. lnasmucb as he has not touched
a drop for thirty years the trut hfulncss Of
the charge become, apparent. The truth
OF the matter Is, the policeman, Black

eaton, for the position lie holds.

THE POLITE WORLD

Mrs. Freeman G. Teed gave q charming
book party yesterday afternoon at her
home on Scarf street. Daylight was ex-
cluded and profusion of flowers con-
verted the rooms into soft banks and clus-
tiers of varied coIored blossoms. The
scores were kept on dainty little books
OF blue-tinted paper, held together with
narrow yellow ribbon. The decorations
OF the different books were original and
unique, and merry contest ensded in
guessing the titles. There were three
prizes. all OF which were extremely pretty.
The first, a sterling silver mounted brush
was won by Mrs. Richard Mercer. Mrs.
Orr Haralson WAS The winner of the Sec
ond, II case of dozen sterling silver

pink were masses OF white crysanthe-
NUNS in the back drawing room. They
were massed on the mantle and finish
OF delicate green accsntuated the pure
white. 10 the hall Miss Howes presided
over the punch bowl, amidst flowers and
vines, the dark red tnts giving warmth
and pleasing glow. Gala lilies and smi-
lax concealed the balustrade OF the stair
way. The dining room was brilliant with
yellow chrysanthemums, a lam brequin
OF these fell over the doorway and about
the room were artistic arrangements of
these same flowers. In all the rooms

soft and effective finish to tho whole.
