King Menelik Of Abyssinia is proving
the truth Of the old saying that Moth
ing succeeds like success" He has
sprouted like a mushroom in the last few
months. Less than a year since he was
looked on by the world as usual sort
Of African monarch, endowed with all
the attributes of cruelty that go to make
up an ideal savage, a fit subject for con-
quest, or at least a "protectorate." But
now a change has come, and he occupies
a place at the royal table Of the old
world that has been unattainable thus
far to rulers presumably farther ad-
vanced in the scale of civilization, such
as the sultan of Turkey, the khedive of
Egypt, the shah of Persia and even the
king of Servia. He has received the
decoration Of the grand cross Of the
Russian order of st. George, an honor
which is only conferred on military COM
ruanders who have demonstrated, by
winning brilliant victories over great
odds, the possession of military genius
He has secured the admission of his gov
ernment to the postal union OF the ma
tions and has taken the steps necessary
to become a member of the interna-
tional society and union Of civilized pow
ers which found it's origin in the noted
Geneva conference. A lot Of geographic
societies in Europe, especially in France
and Switzerland, have elected him to
honorary membership, and in Russia
the Pan-slavist and kindred organiza-
tions threaten to smother him with evil
dences Of good will and respect. In fact,
he is climbing the ladder Of fame in a way
that might make a more worldly mon
arch dizzy, and he may be very glad in a
little while that the meddlesome and
land-hungry Italian government gave
him such an excellent chance of getting
his light out from under a bushel

Business Polite; Wanted

This year should settle the question
whether compromising politicians have
precedence in this country or whether
honesty and true business politics shall
prevail. Political parties are too prone
to foggy utterances and glittering gen.
eralities on the eve of a presidential
campaign. This year demands a diff
ferent treatment of serious questions.---

Huntington's Harbor

Huntington's influence carried the day
for Santa Monica in the house and sena te
committees, but the fight is not lost to
San Pedro yet by any means. The re-
port has still to come before each house
of congress, and, unless the Southern Pa
cific magnate controls majority of rep
resentatives and senators in the same
manner he apparently controls a ma
jority in the house and senate commit :
tees, the will of our people may yet re-
ceive recognition and San Pedro get
its just due, to the exclusion of Hunting
toms private harbor.-Pasadena Cur

Southern Pacific Influence

The influence of the Southern Pacific
railroad is being used to influence poll
tics throughout the state. The Santa
Monica Outlook, the organ of the rail-
road at Port Los Angeles is being quoted
by every railroad organ in this district
on the question of who shall be the next
congressman from the sixth. 1t is safe
proposition to defeat every measure or
man which the Outlook attempts to
boom, as the policy of the paper is Hunt
ingtOn.-Ventura independent.
The herald., 1896-04-29

paper obviously truckles and trims 1t
lacks character, its readers soon discover
the deficiency and the consequence is
that 1t soon ceases to WELD influence.
The world will never see the paper that
will please everybody for even a short
time, or anybody all the time. But a
newspaper will win the greatest amount
Of public confidence and respect when
it is bold and frank in its treatment of
public questions, considerate of the hon
estly held opinions Of those differing
from it and cheerfully accords to all
tion in its columns.
The same Independent and liberal
principles that should govern the con-
duct of a newspaper should pervade the
management Of an institution Of higher
education. A secular university cannot
afford to ally itself with any class and
1t will certainly fail to be liberal edu-
Gator and potent force for social regen-
Grafton If it undertakes to taboo the con-
sderation of every view Of social and eco
nomic questions which does not tickle
the fancy Of its faculty or to refuse q
hearing to every leader who Is not in
their "set."
Outside Of his circle Of admirers Eu-
geneV. .Debs Is not considered very pro-
found political philosopher. He is given
to the advocacy of some economic here
sizes and political makeshifts. and he
the ordinary we'll educated agitator. He
has demonstrated that he is an unsafe
leader for those he leads. But be he
what he may. he represents considera-
BILE number Of people whose views are
as sacred to them as those Of other peO-
pie, and whose votes weigh just as much
in the ballot box as the votes of any
similar number Of individuals who
think differently. He and his following
have at least the merit Of striving for
the goal of social salvation, and If they
have taken the wrong route 1t is the
business Of the people who think so to
guide them to the right one, not to ig-
more them. If Mr.. Debs is dangerous
man it is because he is in error. Error
unassailed Is always dangerous when
nursed by a strong. forceful man
reused to action by what he
conceives to be the wrong that
others are suffering. But as Tho
mas Jefferson said, error is harmless
so long as reason is left free to COM
bat it." Surely reason is left free to COM
bat it in the Chicago university; If not
the institution had better shut up shop.
The best way to make Mr.. Debs less dan
eerous is to meet and defeat him in dis
cussion. Let him spread his oratorical
wings before the university and let the
orthodox faculty clip them with the
keen edged shears of sound political
economy. They can do it with the lat
ter, but not with the Rockefeller brand
of political economy. Mr.. Debs is not
more powerful than the truth; the hon
est, simple truth will vanquish him as
easily as 1t has others.

Mr.. Mckinley was chairman of the
committee on resolutions in the Re-

and reported a platform which de-
clared that "the Republican party is
in favor of the use of both gold and
silver as money, and condemns the pol
icy of the Democratic administration in
its efforts to demonetize silver"-these
efforts consisted of recommendations by
President Cleveland that congress
should repeal the Bland-Allison act

This fact was formally announced to-
night by Mr.. Whitneys private Sec
retary, T. ]. Reagan, who received a
communication during the day from
Mr.. Whitney advising him of the pros
pective wedding.
Society has been speculating on the
event for some time, but not even the
closest friends of Mr.. Whitney had an
ticipated that the wedding would be
so soon. Mr.. Whitney, himself, when
he left the city two weeks ago to re-
cuperate did not expect to be married
so soon. He accidentally met Mrs.
Randolph at Bar Harbor and decided
only last Thursday that the wedding
should take place tomorrow. Mr.. Whit
ney was i'll from a severe attack of
rheumatism, and about ten days ago
he telegraphed from Newport for
special car and massage attendant,
and proceeded at once to Bar Harbor
He rapidly regained his nealth, and
after meeting Mrs. Randolph they de-
cided upon the date of the wedding
There are several features which
tend to cast a halo Of romance over
the marriage-the courtship, the sud-
den engagement and hasty consumma-
ton of the event. Mrs. Randolph Is
an old friend or the Whitney family
and has been intimately associated
with them for the past ten years. In
the letter to his secretary, Mr.. Whit
ney did not make any of the details
Of the wedding known. He simply
stated that 1t would be strictly pri-
vate, not more than half dozen Of
his most intimate friends being pres
ent. None of the relatives of the con-
tracing parties will be at Bar Harbor
to witness the ceremony.
Mr.. Whitneys son, Harry, with his
bride, is now on his honeymoon. The
couple will start soon for Vancouver,
where they will take the steamship
Empress Of India for Japan. His
daughter. Mrs. A. H. Paget, is with
her husband, spending the summer In
the Adirondacks. A suggestion that
there was any estrangement in the
family on account of the wedding was
denied positively, as all the members
of the family have been on the best
Of terms with the prospective bride
Mrs. Randolph'S late husband was
q captain in the Fifteenth Hussars,
commonly called "The Queens Own"
She was originally Miss Edith s. May,
and is a first cousin of Herman Oel-.
richs, also to Mrs. Col. VIM Jay, of
this city. She is the mother Of two
children. the eldest thirteen years
old. Mr.. Whitney's first wife was Miss
Flora Payne, daughter of the late
United States Senator Henry 3.

WINNIPEG, Man. Sept. 2S.-Before
the end of this week railroad circles in
Canada may witness some sensational
happenings of serious and widespread
scope extending from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. For some time past
silent movement has been on foot
among station agents land operators
along the line of the Canadian Pacific
railway from the far east extending
over the Rockies. Details of the move
ment are almost impossible to be
learned for the authorities naturally
are inclined to cloak the matter while
the men themselves do not consider it
to their interest to give publicity to
the scheme. but the G O b correspon-
dent has received sufficient information
to warrant it's saying that strike on
the transcontinental line of the Cana
dian Pacific railway is imminent. in
fact, that unless the demand of the
station agents and operators are COM
piled with there will be an upheavel
Of train service inside of few days.
From all that can be CLEANED it would
seem that the company has threatened
a reduction in wages Of station agents
and operators along it's main line and
that the reduction will not be accepted
by the men. The matter Is now nearing
the stage Of a crisis.

GLENCOE, Mimi, Sept, 2S-A des-
tructive fire visited the little village of
Plato, six miles east of this place, on
the Chicago and Milwaukee road this
evening. The fire was first noticed in
the shingles Of an elevator standing
near the railroad track at about 5
o'clock p. M. and is supposed to have
originated from the sparks of a passing
engine. The fire soon spread to an
adjoining elevator and burning shingles
from the tall structures began to light
on all quarters of the block just north,
the direction in which the wind was
blowing. The local fire department
was unable to hold the flames at bay
and Glencoe and Norwood were called
on for help, but before the latter com
pa MES arrived the block was doomed
and it took the united efforts Of all to
protect adjoining property. BY the
most strenuous efforts the Bergman
mercantile establishment, in which is
located the postoffice, was saved. This
was largely due to the fire-proof
boot and shoe establishment of J.
Minea, which held back the flames
wonderfully. though the building itself
was badly wrecked. The property des-
trOyed is as follows: Empire elevator
Miller Brothers elevator. NJ A. Min
der's store and residence, d. Bergman's
residence, Horrey's harness shop, Litz-
meat market, the Bitters millinery
store and number Of barns in the
rear Of the above buildings. A cor
rect estimate of the loss is hard to OBJ
tain, but it will probably reach $75, ,0Oo
while the insurance Is very light.
