approval. and it is well.ni certain that If
the Democracy of Southern California will
keep their eyes open and move in the mat

the place selected for nominating the
Democratic state ticket in 1898.
The sitting of the committee developed
anew the fact that people are prone to vio-
late the law of the eternal fitness of things
and to discuss matters out of time and
place. The committee assembled for the
purpose of fixing the date and location of
the Democratic convention whose business
it will be to select delegates to the national
convention, presidential electors at large
and state central committee to succeed
the present one, and to transact such other
business az strictly pertains to the call,
election and gathering of such a con-
vention. 1t did not assemble for the
purpose of announcing or establishing the
position of the party on any public issue or
to determine the merits of local factional
controversies. Therefore, the introduc-
ton of resolutions relative to the funding
bill, government ownership of railroads
and of the Buckley and anti-Buckley con-
test in San Francisco were all az appro-
pirate as resolutions declaring in favor of
the dsmembering of Turkey or the inde-
pendence of Cuba would have been.
No matter what the merits of these
propositions may be, it is not the business
of a state central committee to consider
them. The difference between a COM
mittee and convention meeting should
be kept clearly in mind, and each kind be
left to perform the functions belonging to
it unembarrassed by the consideration of
subjects that belong to the other.

Should Be Investigated

]. A. Golfer, recently discharged pa

makes some rather serious charges against
the management of the asylum, also of the
Los Angeles county jail. Golfer may be a
kicker and crank. and these charges may
be totally unwarranted, and yet if he is
telling the truth these institutions ought to
be investigated, and the public that pays

The Great denny Lind Concert.
Only a few remain who can
recall the marvellous enthusiasm
which attended Jenny L'nd's
fist appearance in America, in
the old Castle Garden, in 1850.
When she arrived from England
10000 people were at the dock
to greet her. That night $4,000
people serenaded her in front of
her hotel. Seats for her con =
cert sold at fabulous prices. On
the night of her first American
concert over 5000 people had
gathered in the Battery before
Castle Garden by six o'clock,
although the concert did not
begin until eight. When the
doors were opened the crush
was terrible. and within fifteen
minutes every ava'lahle inch of
room, other than the reserved
seats, was occupied, and 10000
people were outside unable to
get in. Then every rowboat,
railboat and steamer which
could be pressed into service
was engaged to lay in the watel
by the old Garden Hall crowded
with people who could only hear
the strains of Jenny's voice as
it fioated through the opened
windows. The whole scene has
now been repictured by Hon. A.
GakeY Hall, ex-Mayor of New
York City, and he gives a
wonderfully graphic recital f
the event in the November
