THE STATES CHAMPION.
Why Grove L. Johnson Deserves to
be REFLECTED.
(S,an Francisco Call.l

Hon. Grove l.. Johnson, who is now
the chief victims of the ISLANDERS of the
Democratic press and orators, is one of
those men whom all Californians de-
light to honor The attacks made upon
him are but additional proofs that SIAN
der loves a shining mark. In a certain
sense it is a compliment to him that he
has been chosen as the chief target of
the abuse of California Bryanites, since
it attests that he is champion of pro-
ism whom they fear.
1t is fortunate for Mr.. Johnson in the
midst of this incessant abuse that he is
not unknown to the people of California.
His character and we'll established rep
utation afford him ample security
against the ISLANDERS of his foes. He is
known to be one of the foremost lawyers
of the State, an eloquent orator and an
earnest advocate of the welfare of our
industries. He has lived long at the
State Capital has served his district in
the Legislature with distinguished abil-
ity, and by his services there won the
well deserved honor of an election to
Congress.
In the great council of the Nation he
has shown zeal, fidelity and integrity.
He has been an able champion of the in
dustries of the State and of the people of
his Congressional district. Stockton is
indebted to him for the procurement of
an appropriation for a public building,
and the people of the mountain counties
know how much he has done to promote
the industry of the miner. In fact.
every interest of California that has
been at stake in Congress has found in
him most earnest advocate and cham
pion.
Mr.. Johnson we'll merited a renomina-
ton from the Republicans in his district,
and equally merits the reelection which
he is sure to receive from the people
His constituents know him too we'll to
be affected by the ISLANDERS of his oppo-
nentS. One of the ablest orators in
Congress. he gives dignity and force to
the California delegation in that body
and all Calfornians are gratified to
know that he will be returned this year
by a majority which will refute the cal
umnies of his assailants and demon
strate the popular confidence in his abil-
tiles and in his character.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-The in
vestigation to-day of the charges
against julius Haste, Superintendent OF
State Dredgers, under the Harbor Com
mission, resulted in interesting develop
ments. AT it's conclusion Haste was
dismissed from his position.
Haste was charged by a number Of
foundrymen with having used his po
sition to obtain commissions on con-
tracts which he was empowered to
make for repairs on State boats and
dredgers.
When the Commissioners called him
| to account this morning he made no de-
nial of the truth of the charges against
him, but endeavored to vindicate him
self by saying that it was the custom of
State officers to seek a percentage on
all contracts made with local people.
He openly charged the Superintendent
of Stores with having engaged in this
practice.
His charges, however, were not heed
| ed by the Commissioners, as he had no
proof to offer, and his position was de-
clared vacant. Philip Brown, Superin-
tendent of Dredger No. 1, was appointed
at once to fill the vacancy caused by
Haste's removal.
Mr.. Cantrell of the National Iron
| Works was summoned by the board and
in the interest of the State offered his
testimony. Among other statements
made, he said he did not secure
much work, but that he had paid Haste
! S44 90. Other foundries had secured
the work, and although he was a good
Democrat, he had not been very fortu-
nate with the board
Have you always paid commission to
secure work?" asked Colonel Chad
bourne.
In recent years we have. There used
to be a time when such a thing was un-
known. Now it is a regular practice.
Every machine shop and every iron
works has been paying commission to
middlemen to secure contracts"
! I'VE do not do business on that line, .
suggested Mr.. Cole.
| Well, answered Mr.. Cantrell, "Mr.
Haste was your middleman; he de-
manded a commission and received it,
1--WE do not need middlemen in our
business" continued Mr. Cole, point
edly. The State pays its men salaries
to perform their duty"
haste mere offered to prove that the
whole purchasing system of the State is
corrupt. He persisted that it is only a
gentleman's due, when he is in politics,
to get all he can out of it. Scores of
people, State employees and others, he
declared had done just as he had done,
and nothing had been said of it, Why
should he suffer for the extortion ?
Why should a 5000 per month official
suppose for an instant that the harbor
front is anything more than Jackpot
that is ready to be raked in by any
bluffer who holds a pair of deuces.
