been for weeks in the throes of righteous
indignation over the alleged misdoings
of Parson Brown, and the newspapers
have been burdened with the details of
the long trial; Fresno has been insulted
by the shameful and unwarranted
charges flung from the pulpit of trav-
cling evangelist against the fair name
of the young girls of that city; Los An
geles has been disturbed by her cowboy
preachers until she was compelled to
lay the strong arm of the law upon
them, and the honored office of the min
istry has been put to shame by reli-
giouS adventures whose wefKs belle

which they have undertaken.
REPREHENsI3LE.
Tulare Register: Some American
youths on a spree dowa at Honolulu
tried to make a Canadian doctor wear
an American flag on the lapel of his
coat, but he declined They then pro-
ceeded to stick him full of them and he
snatched one off and ground it beneath
his heel, and now. the incident is to be
officers of the United States navy were
present and witnessed the deed but did
not interfere and they are also in danger
of investigation. What folly and what
rot. How would citizen of the United
States relish having foreign fag
thrust upon him? If he had any man
hood he would resent such familiarity
just as the Canadian doctor did. The
were doubtless all in beer and the Incl
dent was not worthy of even a news
paper war, to say nothing of an officia
investigation.
APPROVED POSITION.
Grass Valley Tidings: Congressmar
johnson has telegra phed: Mckinley
is my first choice, but am opposed t.
instructions. The delegates should be
free to work for silver and California s
interest. Instructed delegates have ne
influence
Mr.. Johnson's position appears to be
heartily approved by the Republicans
| of Sacramento and we believe it will
be approved by majority of the Re
publicans of the State.
WILL BE A DELEGATE.
lone Echo: Beyond a doubt Grove l.
Johnson will be one of the delegates
from this Congressional District to the
Republican National Convention, and
the fight for the other vote lies between
E. G. Voorhies of Amador and J. H
Neff of Nevada.
HIGH REGARD FOR HIM.
Marysville Appeal: The Examiner
has sent it's 'Blnker" Murphy to Sac
| ramento to create a row in Republican
circles with a view to undoing Con-
greSsman Johnson. 1t will take more
| than the Examiners" mudslinging tc
change the high regard that the people
of this district hold Grove L. johnson
in.
'PURSEONAL'' GROUNDS.
Redlands Citrograph: The San Fran
cisco Examiner is laboring to ex-
plain that C. p. Huntington is nine
kinds of liar when he said that paper
was at one time subsidized to the tune
of $1,000 a month The Monarch
says that Mr.. Huntington contracted
to pay $4,000 for an advertisement in
one issue of that paper. Whatever else
he may be, Mr.. Huntington has never
been accused of being a fool That $50,
COO was paid for more thar a mere ad-
vertisement. The Monarch" has evil
IDENTIFY been bounding Mr.. Huntington
on perfectly personal-or purseonal-
grounds.
JOHNSON IS FOR M'KINLEY.
Marysville Appeal: The Examiner
and it's "Blinker" Murphy have been do
ing some tall lying about Congressman
Johnson and his choice for President.
Had he seen fit to heed such rabble the
claims of such cattle could have been
disproved several days ago. The de-
nouement did not come until yesterday,
when the Record Union" published
the following:
Washington, March q, 1896.
Hiram w. Johnson, Sacramento: Re-
ceived following telegram from Beck
man of the Mckinley League:
eff you are chosen delegate to the
National Convention will your efforts
and vote be for Mckinley for President?
Answer by wire You can say Mr.. Nc
Kinley is my choice, but am opposed to
instructions. The delegates should be
| free to work for silver and California;
| interests. Instructed delegates have
no influence GROVE L. JOHNSON"
That ought to silence the slanderers
1t won't, however, since their business
| is that OF mudslinging and political dis
turbing The Examiner" caught at q
nefarious game, is now endeavoring tC
distract attention.
