One of the business men of Gardiner
whose stand is not more than 1909 miles
from the Evans house corner. had some
of the best exercise the last of the
week in getting himself a horse to
bring him home. He drove to his camp
on Pleasant pond, and after taking
care of his horse turned him loose in
the pasture, not thinking that the bars
might be down. This the horse dis
covered and soon took French leave.
When it came time to come home, no
horse could be found, but the tracks of
one going towards Richmond Corner
We're followed right into mans barn,
and the horse proved to be the farmers
Returning to camp again, another
search was made, this time through
the woods, and long into the night
could be heard the coaxing words of
''Bess, BesS, come. Bess." Long to-
wards morning the horse was found
near the bars. and the owner returned
home. The friend, also a business man
in the city, who accompanied him out,
returned in team. hired near the
camp. leaving the owner of the lost
horse to get back, the best he could.
He arrived in the city at late hour, a
weary and extremely mad man.

thus illegally obtained from the people.
the law requires the government to
make demand on the railroad COM
pany holding it. That company has
ninety days in which to comply or re-
fuse, and as the five years within which
the government enjoys the right to sne
in cases of refusal to make restoration
expires March 3, 1896 the time for an
swering any demands of the govern
msnt would not elapse until some time
after the right of the government to
sue had expired.
1t is bad enough to contemplate the
legal cession of millions of acres of the
earth, very properly termed "the herit-
age of the people," to railroad corpora
tions, and most assuredly no effort
public that which has been obtained
without warrant of law. Under both
of Mr.. Cleveland's administrations i'm
mense quantities of the public domain
have been recovered from railroad COM
panies that failed to comply with the
conditions Of the act granting the land,
and from companies that claimed land
to which they held no color of title. In
fact, the services rendered the people
of the United States by Mr.. Cleveland
in saving, in whatever way the law rem
dered possible. the lands of the public,
although performed unostentatiously
the work being done through judicial
and departmental channels and conse-
quently not conspicuously in the pop
ular view-are among the greatest of
the many valuable services the present
chief magistrate has performed for his
country.
The herald., 1896-01-19
A Deserved Rehuke

The letter written by President Clevo-
land to Senator Catfery was a deserved re-
buke to the public men who form their
opinions from hearsay. 1t has been the
custom of the president to pay no atten-
ton to the outrageous lies told about him
by the press, but when senators utter the
most malicious falsehoods from their
places in the senate chamber. impugning
the motives of the chief executive. it is
proper for Mr.. Cleveland TO state all the
facts so that the people may have an OPP
portuuity to pass an intelligent judgment
upon his actions.
In his letter to Senator Caffery the presi-
dent said he was "amazed at the intoler-
auce that leads even an excited partizan-
ship to adopt as basis of attack the un-
founded accusations and assertions of a
malicious and mendacious sensational
newspaper. After giving a denial to all
charges made by Senators Stewart and
Teller and explaining all that had been
done relative to the issue of bonds. he says:
This is the entire matter, and all these
particulars could have been easily obtained
by any member of the senate by simple
inquiry"
But such an honorable course would not
do for the men whose sole claim to distinc-
ton is the ability with which they misrep-
resent everything done by the president
The principal characteristics of a dema-
gogue are to assume sanity look, talk
like converted gambler and accept any
statement without inquiry, no matter by
whom made, provided it comedies with the
distorted views he may entertain. They
profess honesty, yet practice rascality and
chicanery. knowing their only hope TO at
tam even temporary success is to do so
through the ignorance. Intolerance or care
lessness of the people among whom they live
The past two years have been prolific of
demagogues, but we are much mistaken
if the signs of the times do not point to
the retirement of such people from the
public gaze. WI an that time comes. such
men as Senator Stewart will not dare to
charge the president of the United States
with high crimes without some proof to SUBJ
stantiate his charges, and the local dem
agogue. with nothing but loud voice and
an elastic conscience, will again take his
rightful place as common disturber of
the political peace.-Nisalia Times.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION LAW

The primary election law of 1895 will
soon be the subject of judicial scru-
tiny. A citizen of Sacramento has
brought proceeding for the purpose
of determining whether Sacramento
county is subject to its application,
and citizen of Los Angeles has gone
into court to enjoin the supervisors of
this county from carrying out the law,
on the ground that it is unconstitu-
tional, being special legislation.
Of course, the interest of tho public
will center in the Los Angeles action,
for upon the outcome Of that case will
depend the life of the law. In view of
the fact that the law is made applica-
BILE only to counties of the first and
second class, it would seem to be most
decidedly special legislation and the
case of the complainant strong one.
1t is we'll for the public interests that
the validity of the law is to be tested,
and when the brief time that remains
for its trial in court is considered,
it is to be regretted that the
test was no. made earlier. But
by all means the constitutionality
, of the enactment should be settled
with the least possible delay. If the
supervisors proceed to carry out the
law, as of course they will be bound
to unless legally restrained, it will en-
tail an expense to this county alone of
over $4,000, and to the other counties
to which the law is applicable pro-
portionate amount. If subsequent to
its execution it is found to be uncon-
stitutional, the amount thus expended
will be simply wasted. But of far
greater importance for consideration
are the complications which would
arise if the law should be decided IN
constitutional after officers nominated
by conventions created in accordance
with its provisions had taken office
and exercised official powers.
Independently of any question of
constitutionality, the law is of very
doubtful expediency. 1t illustrates
the proneness of legislators to "slop
over" and indulge in too much legisla-
ton. Ths ways and means by which
unincorporated and unofficial aggrega-
tions of individuals called political
parties select the people who are to
represent them in a contest for public
office are certainly beyond the prov
ince of government to establish. The
state has no more right to prescribe
the methods by which delegates to rep
resent a political party in convention
shall be selected than it has to deter
mine the basis of representation in the
convention, the size of the latters
committees, or the order in which its
business is to be transacted.
A political party is not the creature
of the state, and therefore the state
cannot properly control it in the cleo
tion of its officers or representative
or dictate the character Of its organi-
zation, and the attempt to do 50 can
hardly be considered, correctly, as any
thing other than an unUarranted
assumption of power.
Although the law is adopted for the
purpose of promoting purity in the
selection of delegates to conventions
and facilitating an expression of party
will, it is not entirely probable that it
will attain its avowed purpose. There
are numerous reasons for doubling its
success in the particulars intended
The HERALD will take occasion to treat
of them later.
