Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1895-01-04

President Cleveland is the only
man who has the authority to call
an extra session of Congress, but
that little fact, important as it hap
pens to BE-, is being entirely over
looked by those who have relieved
the President of all trouble in the
matter and assumed his authority
without even saying, by your leave
sir. and who are now busy arrang-
ing all the details of the extra SEES
sion. President Cleveland has not
said that he would call an extra
session, but both he and Secretary
Carlisle sometime ago pointed out
to leading Democrats that some
sort of relief must soon be had FOL
the Treasury, and that if this Con
gress failed to provide it necesslt.
might compel the calling OF al
extra session. The situation ha
not changed. The calling Of a.
extra session depends largely on tn
action or non-action of the Demo
: Gratis in the present Congress.

ing the public officials who have been
guilty of the basest treachery and do
nothing that would interfere with
them not going to San Quentin. The
way how not to o it is the exhibition
the district attorneys Office is afford
ing the taxpayers of Los Angeles
county, who are utterly helpless and
without present recourse. The county
has been literally robbed blind on every
side, in every way and by everybody
who could get to the public trough
and lay dishonest hands on
the peoples money. The Off
Gals who should stand as an
insurmountable barrier against the
knaves and thieves are, to judge from
the record they have thus far made,
either supinely Indifferent, grossly in
competent or basely corrupt.
But there will come day of reckon
ing for all of this. 1t may be distant
sometime, but the people will ultimately
have an opportunity to put the stamp
of their disapproval upon the men who
have betrayed them.

HE WILL MAKE CHANGES
County Clerk Newlin Will Reorganize
His Office Force
Announces That He VIII Not Retain Any
Deputy Who Has Sought to Cover
Up Crookedness

County Clerk T. E. Newlin makes the
bold announcement that he is independent
of any gang or combination or ring and
that he proposes to run his Office with a
force of deputies who are not connected in
any way. either directly or, indirectly with
the past thievery that has characterized
the management and conduct of the county
clerks office.
Furthermore, Mr.. Newlin states that he
has not nor will he endeavor or attempt to
in any way checkmate the efforts that are
being made to get at the facts of the rot
tenness that has in the past existed in the
important office he holds.
Mr.. Newlin says that any deputy of his
who was in office under Mr.. Wards admin
istration who knows anything abo ut the
public money that was stolen then, who
stole 1t or how it was stolen, and who re-
fuses to disclose to the grand jury that in
formati on in detail, cannot labor in the
coun ty clerks office after January l, 1896.
This being the case, Mr.. Newlin has given
it out officially that on the first of the
month he will reorganize the force of dep
uties in the county clerks office. Among
those who will go is A. w. Seaver. And
there are others. Mr.. Seaver will not be
alone when it comes to making up the list
of those who will depart from the walks OF
official life with the incoming of the new
year. As yet Mr.. Newlin is not prepared
to make public the changes he has decided

"Let tho Assassins Bevln. u


The advocates of independent free sill
yer coinage in this country want to be
taken seriously. Therefore they cry,
drop calling names. and, come, let us
reason together" IT'S we'll. But if this
is to be the rule of conduct in the debate
on this question what is to become of the
one great radical proposition of the free
silver advocates, namely, that the gold
standard is the result of a conspi racy, is
maintained by a conspiracy and justified
by the basest of motives? Let those whose
fundamental point assassinates charac-
ter begin the new life of reason, and the
rest of the world will gladly follow. But if
they give up their abuse of the rich and
put into the oven their scarecrow "money
power" and stop calling thief and liar,
their hold on a large portion of the popu-
lace is lost forever. What, is there then
no foul conspiracy forcing the business of
the world upon n narrow money basis in
order that the rich might become richer
and the poor be deprived even of the little
which they still possess? What, ia there no
"money power" robbing the people
clandestinely or openly, under form
of law. with intent to wreck civiliza-
ton and degrade it's toiling dupes into
hopeless slavery? We fear if the eloquent
silverite, becoming a creature of reason,
his little day of popular support must
move to a speedy close. When it was pro-
posed to abolish capital punishment, .
bright wit was heard to remark: "Let the
assassins begin" We commend this cpl
gram to those who are now pleading scien-
tific ratiocination on the silver question:

He Hit Her Ear

Officer Davis arrested C. F. Epeneter
yesterday on Broadway for battery. Epen-
eter and his wife do not get along we'll to-
gether and yesterday the woman went to
Mr.. Davis and asked him to take her hus-
band as he was in room with another
female. She was told that an arrest could
only be made in such case when she
swore to complaint charging adultery.
Some time after she, in company with a
woman friend, visited the room in which
was her husband and the woman, and hus-
band and wife got into fight over the pos
session of gold chain. They fought out
into the hallway and then into the street
where Officer Davis saw them. Epeneter
had struck the woman on the ear, so he
was taken in charge. He was released on
depositing $40 bail.

AN EDIFYING SPECTACLE

It has been again demonstrated that
thieves in and out of public Office can
rob the treasury of Los Angeles county
with impunity. If by chance they are
discovered, as long as conditions re-
main as they exist today, the thieves
can rest assured that they will escape
the punishment that the law demands
should be melted out to them for their
criminal acts. If they are not discov-
cred they continue to maintain their
position in the community and to as
sist in placing in Office to succeed
them their willing tools who will help
In the work of covering up the dishon-
esty and the fraud of their pred eces-
sors.
Just as The HERALD predicted, Frank
Cherry has escaped the penitentiary.
He has drawn out Of the public treas
ury $2571.70 in nine months. How
much of that was stolen no one save
the grand jury is aware of just at pres
ent. Everybody knows that Cherry
stole just as much as he possibly could
and as his opportunity to steal was
great goodly proportion of the
$257110 that he drew from the county
treasury in the first nine months of
this year was stolen.
But he is safe. He will not be pun
ished, but he has been exposed and he
stands before the community branded
as thief, although, on techpicality,
he is beyond the jurisdiction of
the courts and will not be placed where
he belongs, behind the bars Of the pen
itentiary.
The HERALD has also prophesied
that the prosecution of DR.. George w.
Campbell, the present coroner, On in
dictments for perjury would fall to the
ground. That prophesy has not yet
been verified fully, but it undoubtedly
will be. The consensus of legal opin-
Ion is that the Indictment against
Campbell is defective. 1t is asserted
that it has been drawn Improperly and
that a demurrer to it will be sus-
tanned
This opinion goes to prove the
rumors and reports that have been
current that the district attorney is
doing the best he can to discredit the
grand jury and to render the efforts of
that body to bring official derelicts to
time for their misconduct in office
abortive in the eyes of the people.
The work of this grand jury that has
thus far been performed in the district
attorneys office has demonstrated
clearly that whoever performed it was
either grossly incompetent or inten-
tionally derelict in the performance of
duty.
Apologies for the thieves whose steal
ing was uncovered by grand jury ex-
perts have come direct from the dis
triot attorneys office. The prosecution
of the thieves themselves has thus far
been characterized by the most mas
terly asininity. Defective in
dictments have been drawn, the
prosecutions hampered and delayed
and the record complicated. In
fact to an unprejucided observer it
would seem that the intention was to
go through the semblance of prosecut-
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1895-12-23

upon. He has considered the matter fully,
however, and has already notified
the gentlemen whose services he will dis
pense with that in so far as he is concerned
their names will not appear on the jan
uary pay roll of the county. These gentle
men have kept the little announcement to
themselves.
Mr.. Newlin has very wisely arrived at
the conclusion that he can conduct his
office without the assistance of men whom
it is limited are in possession of knowledge
that would bring violators of public trust
close the information and in that far rem
der themselves particeps criminis. MIR.
Newlin says that when he is convinced that
he cannot run his office without the aid OF
these men he will resign.
The upheaval in the clerks office is
awaited with considerable interest at the
courthouse, for there is no telling but what
breaking out of this character may ex-
tend to other offices. If it should there
would howl go up that could be heard
from Siskiyou to San Diego and from the
Sierras to the sea.

AT THE THEATERS

BURBANK-Youth, the Great Military
Spectacle, was produced before a we'll filled
house last night. While the performance
did not close until late hour it went very
smoothly considering the character of the
play, the number of acts, the large num-
Der of people to handle, the variety and
quantity of scenery required and that 1t
was the first night. If the seven acts of
Youth could be condensed to five it would
add to the strength of the play. AS it now
stands quality is sacrificed to quantity.
However, Youth is full of thrilling
situations and ample opportunity is given
several members of the company to do their
best work and demonstrate what sort of
talent they possess. The scenic effects are
worthy of special mention. The first act
requires a church scene, the second a boat
ing scene on the Thames, the third is at
Mrs. Walshingham's house, the fourth the
setting for a convict prison yard. the fifth
the embarking of troops and the sailing of
the ship with the men ON board, the sixth
the troops in camp, the seventh Beechly
by night. Enough of the realistic
has been introduced to satisfy the most
exacting gallery god. In the second act a
big tally-ho loaded with pretty girls drives
onto the stage and makes a clever turn.
Later the boating scene gives an opportun-
ity for some pretty effects. The departure
of the ship is realistic, but the climax is
reached in the camp sc enc of the sixth act,
and later the battle with the Zulus and the
rescuing of the flag by Frank Darlington.
All these scenes are carried out with all
the realistic effects to be expected in the
largest theaters of the country.
Of the lines of the play considerable
dramatic action is called for and some
very clever situations lead up to. but with
out Miss Ray Lewis Bronson and e. j.
Holden and possibly George Omni,
Michael Hardey and Miss Grace Pierce,

JUMPED FROM A BUILDING


p. S. Dayton Falls Distance of Two Stories

T. 5. Dayton is said to have got drunk on
Saturday night and he now lies at the
county hospital badly hurt. His injuries
were received by jumping off of the roof of
a two-story building while in an inebriated
condition.
Shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday MORN

floor OF the house at 742% South Spring
street. In a little while young Swede oc-

crying, "Oh, my God, save me; they are
after me-" On being asked what was the
trouble, Dayton replied that "they' were
in his room and would not allow him to
get his clothes. Judging that the man was
suffering from an attack of delirium
tremens, The Swede tried to pacify him
and induced him to re-enter the room.

ing, ran out again, and going to the rear

BAYARD'S TRUTHS STILL HURT

No better evidences of the absolute in
ability of the average Republican
editor to distinguish between black
and blue, when moved by political con-
siderstions, is needed than that afford
ed by the treatment these purveyors to
thoughtlessness bestow on Ambassa-
dor Bayard's Edinburgh speech.
Mr.. Bsyard in his address, which we
are happy to observe, has struck the
Republican party in q multitude Of
sore places, did not directly or in
ferentislly reflect on his own country
men, he did not "exhibit them as being
morally and politically depraved" or
as being in any way inferior to the
rest of the earth. The subject Of his
address was "lndividualism," not the
American People," and like a man
capable of logical, consistent and con-
centrated thinking-which the edi-
tors and orators of the Republican party
are apparently incapable of-he ad-
hered to his subject. If in hewing
to the line of truth few of the
chips he made fell on some indi-
viduals who because of ignorance or
self-interest are enlisted in the sup
port Of protection, it implies nothing
derogatory to the character of the
American people as body. Mr..
Bayard's remarks we're not delivered in
an official capacity and were addressed
to a non-political gathering. He as
sailed no country nor the formally
adopted policy of any country, much
less that of his own. His assault on
protection was incident to his discus
sion of socialism; he adverted to the
prominence of the sentiment favorable
to protection in his own country as
being indicative of the growth of So
cislistic theories, for he classed protec-
tionism with socialism.
His denunciation Of protection as
calculated to "breed corruption" and
"to divorce ethics from politics" was
the condemnation of an economic
theory, and not of people, and
no one but wooden-headed partisan
would contend to the contrary.
Protective tariffs have not been Pc
culiar to the United States. They have
been and are now utilized by several
countries of the old world to obstruct
the freedom of trade and embarrass
the progress of the humsn race. It
would be just as sensible to say that
Ambassador Bayard, when he de-
nounced protective tariffs for the evil
they are responsible for, not only
heaped insult on his own people but
also on the Germans and the French.
The English might also consider their
ancestry vilely slandered and shame
fully villified, for they adhered to the
theory of protection for nearly five
hundred years, and many Engllshmen
are now insisting that it is the panacea
for industrial ills that at present af-
fiict England.
Protection, as we have before said, is
simply an economic theory and is no
more the property of any country than
any one of the numerous religious or
scientific theories. The proposition of
the Republican party to vest it with
the dignity of national policy, an i'm
parchment of which would amount to
treason or even disloyalty, is too ab-
surd to deserve respectful considera-
ton. It only shows the littleness of
the Republican intellect and the intol-
erance of the Republican spirit.
