Proposed Benefit

Public interest seems to be aroused on
behalf of May Nannary and the Daley
company in their present unfortunate
position, and means are being provided to
very materially assist them in their pres
ent necessity. The remaining members
are not in happy financial condition, and
Miss Nannary is confined to her home by
sickness and will be for some time. Many
parties have interested themselves on be-
half of these players, and Manager Wyatt
has been requested and will doubtless ac-
cep, the management of such an enter
tainment. A large number of volunteers
have manifested a desire to assist these
players, and it is highly probable that a
monster benefit will be arranged for an
early date at the Los Angeles theater.

TOTAL DEPRAYITY
The Brown Case at San Fernando Worse
Than at First Reported

Inc Brown Ease ~ San Fernando worse
Than at First Reported
Sheriff Burr yesterday returned from
San Fernando with the. four children of
Edwin E. and Sarah Brown. to secure the
possession of whom the father applied for
a writ of haoeas corpus. The sheriff found
the condition of affairs was even worse
than was reported. Brown is an old SOL
dier, and draws a pension of $12 per
month. There are four children, three
boys and one girl, the latter about thirteen
years of age. Some three or four years
ago Mrs. Brown left her husband and
went to live with a man named Mehan.
After some months Mehan tired of the
woman, and she then went to San Fer
nando and took up with a half-negro NAM
been living. They have been occupying
a half-ruined adobe house, almost
the sole furniture of which is two
old. rickety beds. The woman and
Dominguez occupied one. while the
girl and a Mexican named Anto-
dren sleeping on the floor. Mehan had
also followed the woman to San Fernando,
and he also cohabited with the girl. When
the sheriff got to the house the family
were almost in state of destitution, the
only provisions found being half a sack of
flour.
When the children were taken before
Judge Mckinley several witnesses were
were examined, and the fact that the little
girl had been ruined was brought out As
sistant District Attorney Williams at once
swore to complaints against Mehan and
Moreno on a charge of rape, and they
were arrested in the court room and taken
before Justice Young, where they were
held in $4,000 bail each. They will be ex-
amined this morning.
The habeas corpus proceedings were
continued until 2 o'clock this evening, in
order that place might be found for the

from humor to gravity as the character de-
manded with as much facility as it con.
versing. There are many "elocutionists.
but few artists, and Professor Cumnock
comes certainly under the latter descrip-
ton. and discriminates with nicely the diff
ference between art and artitice.
The program opened with Portraiture OF
the Miser, from Dickens. The Gowk' g
Errant was a humorous little story OF
April FOOLS day; then came scene from
Henry V, and Henry's wooing of Katherine
of Arragon; the Death of DIR. Maclure,
from Ian Maclaren; a Sketch from the
burlington Hawkeye, The Charge, Humor
and Wit, both by Lover.
Criticism of any of the readings would
be that they were fiawless in the intelligent
Interpretation which Prof. Cumnock gives
them. 1t is decidedly refreshing to find a
reader whose conception of his profession
is not measured by mounting of pieces
and one who loses sight of stacy affecta-
tiOns.

BISMARCK AND BIMETALLIsM

The Examiner tries very hard to twist
Bismarck's letter TO Governor Culberson
OF Texas into meaning far different from
what it was intended to convey. Bis
marck simply said to Governor Culberson
what he has been saying for years: that
the nations should adopt a binetallic
monetary system; but never has he nor
does he now advocate independent action
by his Government. 1t is true Bismarck
says if this country should find it compat-
ible with It's interests to take independent
action-that IS, to assume the responsible
ity and risk the danger OF such lndepend.
ent action-it might exert salutary infiu-
ence upon the consummation OF an inter-
national agreement but the meaning OF
what he says is that no good would accrue
TO a nation adopting bimeiallism unless IL
was joined by the other nations. Prince
Bismarck is in complete harmony with
the Republican party as far as that goes.
1t is true beyond the possibility of
doubt that Germany and other Euro
pean nations would like to see the

STRENGTH OF TnR CoLoRRD VOTE
San Franclsco vlndIcator.

In a due consideration of the status of the
colored vote OF California at the approaching
election the only way 10 approach truth is to
consult reliable statistics in order to arrive at
an accurate conclusion. According to the
census of the United States in 1890, as pub
1896, the colored vote OF California was at
that time 72,O6l; that is to say California
stood tenth among all the States of the Union
In the numerical value of its colored vote.
Thus Georgia heads the list with I79, ,O2S;
next comes Mississippi, with 15O,469; third,
Alabama, with 140,763; fourth, South Caro-
lima, with 1872 949; fifth, Virginia with l30,-
TAI; sixth, Louisiana, with lie, ,Si5; seventh,
North Carolina, with 100, ,346; eighth, Texas,
with 101, ,932; ninth, Tennessee, with 90, ,462;
tenth, California, with II 06l
The next largest vote belongs TO Arkansas,
Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and Florida, in
their order, the votes of the two latter States
being nearly tie, at a trifle over 3S 800, or
only little more than hall of the colored vote
OF California. Looking al the matter from an
other point of view the same authority, COM
piled from the Reports OF the Census OF 1890,
give the total voting population of California
as 49,, 2S9, of which 390,22S were whites and
T2,06l colored. In other words, the ratio of
the colored TO the white vote stood cousdera-
bly, above 10 and very nearly to Ii at that
time. Doubtless the admission OF native sons
to the ballot during the past six years, to-
gether with immigration, has still further
widened the ratio between the white and col
ored vote; still the ratio must yet be in the
near neighborhood OF to 1.
Our object in producing these statistics at
the present juncture is TO let our colored
brethren understand that they far outclass in
the matter OF votes either the German or the
Irish, or, for that matter, both of the national
tiles combined. IL they make up their minds
to stand together at the coming election they
can not only dictate terms but get an honor
able share of the loaves and fishes, which
they have never yet done, for want of unity
OF action.
1t will certainly be surprise, and very
great one, too to The bulk of the people OF
this State that the colored vote of California
should reach the abnormal figure of 1900
when the entire colored population is rated at
q little over $4,000.
Why is it that the normal to 1 ratio of
population to voters does not hold good with
the colored race as with others? The explain
alton is 10 be found in the fact that OF recent
years there has been an immense influx, run
ming up into the thousands, OF young unmar-
ried eolored men in Central and Southern
California, so that the ratio of colored males
to colored females is out of all proportion,
while the absence of children further tends to
lessen the ratio of population as compared
with vote Without this explanation the
figures would seem apocryphal and unwor thy
of credence. They have, however, the au-
thority of the census records of 1890 as re-
produced in the World Almanac, and cannot
be gainsaid.

United States take independent action,
or rather try the experiment of such
action, so tnat if it failed Europe
would be very much less disturbed
than if its own nations should undertake
IL and fail. Bismarck knows as does every
other economist, that independent action
on the part of this country would place
the United States in the position OF leader
without any positive assurance OF fol-
lowing, which would iniure our commerce
very materially while the question of an
international conference was pending; be-
SIDES, 1t would put other nations in posi-
ton to demand much Of us and make &C.
quiescence contingent upon granting US
commercial advantages. Bismarck is q
professional diplomat and it is Germany's
interests that he wants to promote first,
last and all the time.
These things the leaders of the r Republi-
can party understand quite as well as Bis
marck does, and therefore they propose to
have the nations move in concert in the
matter OF establishing a bimetallic none
tary system, so that the United States
would not be left to "hold the Bag" so to
speak. If the purpose failed. Bismarck
knows very we'll that while we were taking
Independent action our gold would leave
us and that Germany would get Its full
share OF 1t, but he is so guarded in ex-
pressing his opinion. or rather in giving
advice, that he uses the diplomatic loop
hole compatible with the United States
interests" Bismarck is, as we have said,
bimetallist. and he is on record in many
places as expressing the belief that no ma
ton could afford to undertake it alone,
but be is perfectly willing that the United
States should make the experiment, for
whether we failed or not Germany would
be the gamer. This country wants b;met-
allism, and so do the countries of Europe,
but if there are any chestnuts in this BIZ
metallic fire the United States will not be
the nation to pull them out to save Eu-
ropes fingers.
