vas present and eager to listen to an ad-
dress by the distinguished author who, 1t
is but truth to say. will bs remembered
through his books long after every In
dinnian of the nineteenth century has
been forgotten.
His leaving the stand in "huffy' con-
dition and refusing to speak is another
example, the third of C. series. the others
being his eulogy of the unspeakable
Turks and his proposed demolition of the
soldiers monument IN order tnat 1t
might be rebuilt in accordance with his
notions of art-this last is another ex-
ample OF how supremely foolish great
genius can be on occasion.
1t was said OF Oliver Goldsmith that he
wrote like an angel and talked like poor
poll.
Certainly Gen. Lewis Wallace does not
talk nor act up to the level of his writ
ings. For his own good and his Ieputa-
tons sake this gifted man ought TO be
kept in his study among his books. With
them he is a master, away from them
nuisance. He and 1gnatius Donnelly, who
is easily Minnesota's greatest man, there
being no second or third, are very much
alike in this. Both should keep out of
politics and out of business, and if they
appear in public it should be on the lee
TUE platform with their specialties for
subjects. --Terre Haute Gazette.

THE SANTA MONICA TRACK
The Southern Pacific Will Open II
October 10Th
the crackerjacks viii Compete.
Many Valuable Prizes

The opening of the new Southern Pa
cific bicycle track has been set for Satur-
day, October 18Th. There is no question
that the track will prove to be one of the
fastest in the country, and has already
cost the railroad company very close to
$40, 900. Nothing has been spared to
make of the track a model affair, and as
will be seen by the plans given later. the
company has succeeded we'll.
An excellent programme has been pre-
pared for the opening, and the time will
undoubtedly be beyond rsproach. All of
the best riders in Southern California
have signifed their intention of taking
part, and several of the northern cracks
are expected down. An innovation will
be the tandem races, something that has
not been see n here yet.
The various events are as follows:
Glass A, third OF m lie, first prize, scarf
pin; second prize, diamond links; third,
bicycle watch anu attachment.
One mile-First. scarf pin; second,
diamond locket; third. rupy and dia-
mond scarf pin.
lap-First lap, emerald and diamond
scarf pin; second lap. diamond locket /;
tn rd lap ruby and diamond links.
Five mile handicap-First, diamond
scarf pin; second. emerald and diamond
pin; third, diamond clover leaf pin.
Glass B, third of mile-First, dia-
mond ring: second, diamond links.
Two-mle lap race-First, diamond
locket; second. 800 mile book; third,
gold POCKET knife.
Five mile handicap-First. silver split
second stop watch; second. l0OO-mile
book; third. ruby and diamond locket.
One mlle-First. diamond scalf pin;
second, diamond snake ring, third, dia-
mond scarf pin.
Tandem mile-First, emerald and dia-
mond pin; second, diamond locket; third,
silver shaving mug and brush; fourth,
leather travelling bag.
1t is the intention of the company to
run big ex ,ursion down there on that
day, with special trains.
The regular excursion rate of so cents
for the round trip will prevail and tick
cts are good for admission to the track. A
special rate of $1.5O will be made to all
interior towns. where the price of tickets
exceeds that figure. and will prevail asf ar
as Banning. There is but little dou BIT
of the success of the new track. and
should it prove record breaker the east
ern cracks have signifed their intention of
wintering here and going for all records.

TO THE EDITOR

munlcations. but does not assume response
bility for the sentiments expressed.
diocese of Los Angeles"

OtOCeSe OF Los Angeles
Editor Herald Your Associated Press
notice from San Francisco in regard to
the new Episcopal diocese about to be
created is not a little amusing, but it con
tans few errors which ought to be cor
rected and which, with your permission,
l will take the liberty of doing.
No doubt the Rev. Mr.. Church is right
in supposng that Bishop Nichols will
not choose the southern portion of the
state as his diocese, but in regard to the
likely nominees, some names have not
only been whispered OF men outside the
new district. but have already been used
IN way better fitted for political pri.
mary than for church convention. But
the most amusing part is in regard to
the five names mentioned as likely candi-
dates for the mitre. Mr.. Restarick is
SAID to be the Oldest divine in the juris-
diction, which is mistake, as at least
two others, and perhaps more, have been
III Southern California longer than he.
The Rev. John Gray is perhaps the lat.
est conner into the jurisdiction to par
lsh OF any Importance. The Rev. Mr.
Tayler, whom you characterize as "a
very active old man With a large parish,
is too well known in Los Angeles as rec
marked by some that his head 'as itch.
ing together with the heads of others
that are named. for the bishops hat.
1t is very difficult to form any opinion
as to the probable issue OF the election.
Wire pulling, of course, there will be, no
doubt, for 1t must needs be that such
offsnses come. and the iaymer VINO care
for their church must arouse them selves
and not be led by tbs nose by the clergy,
nor be held pack by indifference. We
did have laymen, years ago in the mother
church of our city, and in some others,
who were staunch old-fashioned church
men; but where they are now nobody
seems to know. They have all gone into
the millinery business and will soon be
higher than can be well seen. We are ad-
vancing backward pretty fast. and the
coming election will show whether
ritualism or high churchism is the de-
sire of the laymen of Southern California,
for they have left the church of thsir
fathers and are amusing themselves with
what an English bishop calls the "trinkets
of Rome" The Evangelical or Gospel
church is hard to finu these days.
But | am anxious to call the attention
of my brethren of the laity to the fact
that they have as much right to nomi-
nate candidate for the bshoprio as the
clergy have. They are the men who will
have to support him and be helped or
hinderd IN their church work by him.
1t is therefore more important for the
Iaity to select their boshop than for the
clergy. K K x

"Why, why" roar the free silver
freaks, ''why did you strike down the
silver dollar in 1873 when it was worth a
premium of three cents over gold?"
Why? Aye vi. why?
Well, in the first place, the silver dollar
was not struck down in 1873. There was
no silver dollar in 1878. There never will
be silver dollar in circulation when it
is worth three cents more than a gold
dollar. No people would be such fools as
to use as money dollar which is worth
three cents more as bullion.
In the second place, if there had been a
silver dollar In 1873 which was worth
thee cents more than gold, it would have
been, according to the logic of the latter
day silverites, good thing to strike it
down: for if there had been any creditors
shrewd enough to stipulate in their con-
tracts that their debts should be paid in
silver dollars, the debtors would have had
to pay IN dollars worth l03 cents instead
of in dollars worth only 100 cents.
The people of this country do not want
a dollar that Is worth one thing today
and another thing tomorrow; they do not
want dollar worth 103 cents any more
than they want one worth 81 cents. The
l00-cents dollar is the only honest dollar,
and that creditors are going to be allow
ed to demand or that debtors are going
to be allowed to pay.-Louisville Courier

NV grandslre. years and years ago.
In round old English used TO praise
Sweet Maggie Mitchells pretty ways
And her fair face that charmed MIN so.
Her tuneful voice and curly hair,
Her coquetry and subtle art
Ensnared my grandsires' willing heart,
And ever reigned supremely there.

OF cunning Maggie Mitchell's smiles,
And. dazzled by her thousand wiles,
He sung her glories. too. of course.
Quite naural, then, it was that l.

Should learn to rhapsodize and sigh.

That ever romped the mimic stage!

Miss Hannah Posenthal, it was
proved at the trial that virtuous
"peeler" named Gill smiled at the
fair Hannah, who, not wanting
to be outdone in the smiling art,
returned the smile, whereupon
Gill arrested her and made q case
against her for illicit smiling.
Now, all fair minded people will
admit that this is an outrage per-
petrated against the weaker sex.
It's a right they have to smile and
no one should be permitted to in
