LET IT BE GENERAL.

If the Legislature is going to investi-
gate the San Francisco Police Depart
ment and the San Francisco election
frauds at State expense, as it seems dis
posed to do, 1t should make the investi-
cation general, and no half way and par
tial matter.
If it will investigate locally with the
general purse, let it set aside fund of
100000, and provide an agency for max
ing the investigation broad and general;
one that will stir the smaller bowels of
fraud, corruption and political chicane in
California.
If there is TO be investigation at all, let
the inquisition be stretched to cover the
whole political life of the State, even if it
takes the whole of the next two years to
let the sunlight of publicity in upon po-
litical canker, moth and rust.
If investigation is to follow charges that
constitute grave accusation, then the en-
ergies of the supreme representative
body Of the commonwealth should be di-
rected to inquiry into political methods
by which conventions are made to accom-
plish the ends of vulgar ambition and to
throttle the commendable aspirations of
honest pride. Let it be uncovered how
nominations are secured as well as how
ballot boxes are wreck ed.
The inquiry into election frauds and
their motive forces naturally must relate
to the methods in earlier political activity
that give birth to frauds upon the elective
franchise. If there is to be investigation
of a police department in one city, and
the State is to foot the bill, take in all
others touched by charge, and let inquiry

and they might have arranged to have
filed their bellies by relays. But, then,
the ways Of ball managers, like the
will of God, are past finding out.
1t caused CRIME smile OF inquiry, also,
that the small army of committeeman
managed, with rare exceptions, to be in
at the first table. 1t has been generally
supposed that the host is never seated so
long as single guest stands. But then the
laws and hoSpitalitieS OF civilized life are
often suspended at State balls. But be it
remarked in common justice, that at the
inaugural OF Governor Markham there
was no wait. At the stroke of the supper
hour those not able to obtain table seats
tripped to merry music above, while their
friends sampled ices and enjoyed the
athletic exercises of the walters below.
And then, too, there were committeeman
enough left in the upper rooms to be
counted.
But while there was so much of so
short-sighted management in the matter
of going to supper, and waiting, there was
good management on the floors while the
dancing went on, and the music was
good, and the servants attentive, and the
committeeman solicitous for their guests
and their own regulations as managers,
for all OF which let full credit be given.
And let 1t be forgotten that the private
door TO the banquet-hall, properly pro-
AS~
and a managerial escort, was an open
sesame to something like fifty or sixty
other couples, including committeeman,
who ought to have shared in the charge
at the main entrance and have proved
their mettle, as did the Bucktail Rifles at
Gettysburg.
1t is pleasure and justice, too, to COM
mend the splendid, perfect and un-
equaled management of the Carriage
Committee. That system OF numbers,
and that grouping of hacks and carriages,
and rapid disposition of applicants for
their coaches worked like a charm, and
to whoever originated and carried out the
scheme be all honor and praise.
Likewise, let The Foresters' Band, in
the rotunda, come IN for its need OF com
mendation. 1t not only had the fine taste
to omit dead marches, but to treat the
people to beautiful arrangements of ma
tional airs. They did not rush to supper,
and Director Costello not only kept the
music going reasonably, but he gave
some artistic cornet solos and introduced
Mrs. Merry, who played with fine effect
solo from the composition of the great
est of cornetists, Levy. So, too, Mr..
Morelli gave clarionet solo from Brep-
SAINT that won deserved applause for a
skilled artist

A PROPOSED VISITATION.

1t is learned that Congressman-e n-elect
johnson from this district, who is now
IN Washington, is making an effort to
secure visit of inspection early in the
spring to the navigable rivers of Califor-
mia by the Committee on Rivers and Har-
bors.
1t is sincerely hoped that he will sue
eeed in this endeavor. There is nothing
like the object lesson in this matter of
labor to secure for California's navigable
streams that attention by the Federal
Government that is the due of this people
A visit by the committee to California,
and an inspection of the Sacramento,
Feather and San Joaquin Rivers, from
the head of navigation on each to the
mouth, will do more to impress Congress
with our need and its duty than an army
of citizen committees and miles of memo
rials and petitions.
AS an experienced observer has well
said, "the Eastern Congressman does not
understand California;; they do not re-
gard our appeals as of great moment, and
are not easily convinced of the import
ance of the internal commerce of the
State, and its possibilities under proper
treatment OF our streams by the Federal
Government.
If the Congressional Committee will
! come here, see the physical conditions of
the rivers and the country affected, and
examine the statistics on the ground, we
| are confident that our battle will have
been more than half Won.

also develop why the ballot is defeated,
and the manner in which it is done, and
what is the genesis of such corruption
and crime.
1t is alleged that the A. P. A. in its
political secrecy-all secret political
organizations being dangerous to repub-
lican institutions-is a menace and that
its methods will not bear scrutiny. 1t is
asserted that the Roman Catholic Church
is a secret political organization, and
Intermediates with affairs of State and the
freedom of the voter, which, if true, is
a danger to republican institutions
that cannot be too early and efectually
throttled.
1t IS alleged that there is misfeasance in
Office, corruption on the bench and mall
administration in State institutions; Jury
brokerage has not been abandoned, and
registry stuffing has developed as an in
dustry.
If there is to be State Investigation. let
ali these, being charged, be taken in also.
Let the inquisition be sweeping and the
probing deep, that the best of all reme-
dies for political rottenness and the rob-
blng of birthrights, publicity, may be
applied. The truth fears nothing: hon
esty invites inquiry-only the unclean
political agency shrinks from investiga-
ton of its methods, and thereby testifies
to the need for inquisitorial cathartics.
If there is to be any washing of San
Francisco linen by the State let the order
be for a complete commonwealth cleans
ing job.

Poor, Indeed !

The prospect Of relief from drastic
cathartics for persons troubled with con-
stipation is poor, indeed. True, they act
upon the bowels, but this they do with
violence, and their operation tends to
weaken the lntestines, and is prejudicial
to the stomach. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters IS an etfectual laxative, but it neither
gripes nor enfeebles. Furthermore, it

Painful Accident to Miss Lucy Routier
on Monday.
The many friends of Miss Lucy Rou-
tier will regret to learn that she met with
a painful accident on Monday at the
home of her grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Routier, at Routier Station.
The young lady was removing pistol
from between the mattresses of Mr..
Routier's bed when in some way it was
discharged. The bullet entered her left
arm at the elbow, striking the bone and
splintering it. The surgeon who at
tended her found that while the bullet
had lodged in the arm ii had forced q
piece of the splintered bone through the
flesh.
The bullet was extracted, the wound
dressed, and yesterday the patient was
reported as doing nicely. The worst re-
suit feared is possible stiffening OF the
elbow joint, but even this may not hap
pen.

IN his encyclical to the Bishops the

AN EMBEZZLER'S SUICIDE
Kent Books for a W0rkhOuse and Died

Women Caused His Downfall, and as Soon
as He Was Arrested He Took
His Life

CLEVELAND, Aug. 11.-George Lob
mer, for several years bookkeeper at the
city workhouse, was arrested this morn
ing on the charge of EN- bezzlement of
city money. AT o'clock this eveninghe
was found dead in cell at the central
police station under circumstances which
indicate suicide.
On June ist 1t was discovered that Lob
mer had been embezzling funds entrusted
to him. The shortage amounted to about
$50 600. He was permitted to retain his
position until his friends made good his
shortage and then he was dismissed.
Since then an expert investigation OF the
books showed further shortage of about
$4,000. He was arrested at 4 O'Clock this
morning. This afternoon he made con-
fession in which he admitted the theft
He was apparently in good health. An
hour later he was found lying on the floor
of his cell, bleeding at the mouth. He
was put TO hed and physicians sum-
moned. The doctors advised that the
man be sent TO the hospital. When the
ambulance arrived to remove him he was
dead. The coroner is investigating the
case.
He was 80 years OF age. He had a wife
and TWO children but he abandoned them
soon after his crime was discovered and
they are now in Detroit. For some time
he has been living tere with a woman
who is believed to be an actress and he
was with her at the hour of his arrest at
a house near Diamond park.
