to meet is Monday, March %, but it
seems likely that Judge Mayhem will
not be able to get here until few
dars later, on account Of the Jones
murder trial now in progress at Muir

ing jury, aud later through the i'll

case the sheriff and clerk would be
required to adjonrn court from day to

number of cases on the docket for this
term will nearly equal that OF the
last term OF court, and the session
will last about as long.

Los Angeles. During the last seven
years of Mr.. Prices residence in San

himself prominent in Democratic poll
tics and established reputation of be-
ing an excellent club organizer and a
hard worker. He organized, named and
was president and captain Of the famous
Reliance Uniform club of the memorable
presidential campaign of 1888. He was
the chief promoter of the Pond club in
the state campaign of $780, and was in

the slightest chance of being nominated
for the second term. Mr.. Price has al
ways been an ardent and able worker in
the ranks of his party; his time and mon
ey have been devoted to the cause he so
enthusiastically advocates. Mr. Price
has held several political positions Of
trust, which he has filed with much
credit and ability. In 1889 he was the
chief deputy city clerk and auditor, a
position which gave him an opportunity
to display his fitness for most difficult
place, and his courtesy and promptness
won for him the admiration of all politi-
cal parties during his term in this office
During the latter part of Tax Collector
Hewitt's term Mr.. Price was appointed
to the responsible and trustworthy posi-
ton of county license inspector, which
he most satisfactorily filled up to the
end of Col. Hewitt's term of office. Mr.
Price is personally very popular among
all who know him. and his acquaintance
is extensive
He was indorsed by the Silver Re-
publicans last Tuesday evening. which
fact makes his election a certainty. AS
a member of the legislature, he will re-
fleet credit upon his constituency, and
in him Los Angeles will have en- able
energetic and honest assemblyman, and
the voters of his district will have no
reason to regret having cast their ballots
for him. Mr.. Price will vote for United
States senator who is in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16, to 1. BY voting for Mr..
Price it Is a ballot cast for silver Unit
ed States senator, and as the silver vot-
ers hereabouts are largely in the major
ity, 1t means that Mr.. Price is now vir-
tually elected, as he should be. His dis
trict comprises all of the Fourth, Fifth
and Sixth wards and all Of the Seventh

TEST OF FREE TRADE IN AUS
TRALIA.

The results Of the six months applf-
cation Of the free trade law which went
into operation in New South Wales for
the first time last fall have proved the
utter fallacy of. protection in countries
old and new. During the discussion of
the measure predictions as to the evils
which it would infiict on the colony
were made from day to day. These pre-
dictions were based on arguments SIM
liar to those which are heard from Nc
Kinley whenever he addresses a dele
cation at Canton. 1t was declared that
wheat growing would be abandoned.
The present condition Of the colony
shows the value Of the predictions. The
area of wheat planting has been much
larger this year than ever before. Farm
ers are leaving the protectionist colony
Of Victoria for the free trade colony OF
New South Wales because Of the great
