SOME REPUBLICAN HISTORY.


Said q republican politician this
week: Speaking Of tribute to Bryan. I
want to say that Mr.. Bryan has been
made what he Is by republican tribute.
His boom. in the beginning. was pushed
along by republican newspapers. right
here in this city. too. Once in awhile
some republican says republicans
ought to turn in and assist In the Bry-
an demonstration Friday night. That
reminds me OF a little history. Not
many years ago A. w. Field. of this
city. was running for congress. He
was opposed by w. J. Bryan. There
were some republicans who thought
then that II would be a good plan to
give Mr.. Bryan some republican trib-
ute One newspaper In this city, the
Evening Call. under its former manage
nent. supported every one Of Mr.. Bry-
ans theories. Then Mr.. Bryan was
running his boom largely on free trade.
The paper was for free trade. Field
was defeated and Mr.. Bryan was
elected by the assistance Of that news
paper and alleged republicans who
thought 1t a good plan to give Mr..
Bryan a little tribute. Had the con-
gresham been defeated then he would
not have been nominated for president
In Chicago. last week. / notice that
some of the republicans who paid this
tribute four years ago are now a good
deal troubled over what they fear may
be the outcome OF Mr.. Bryan's success
in which they assisted. There Is a
political lesson in this that should be
needed"

.BRYAN IN 1860.

With the usual facility for imagina-
tive literature which possesses the boy
orator of the Platte, Mr. Bryan tells
the populists who cheered him at
Mattoon: This is a campaign in
which there will be much Of feeling
more feeling than there has been in
any campaign in which you or have
been engaged since the war"
OF course Boy Orator Bryan's ora-:
tory has got into habit Of tangiin1
up the facts. Bryan was born Il
1860 The feelin ) which he must have
had in the campaign to which he re-
fers as the one of the war time must
be simply such as might be alleviated
by Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup or q
little Jamaica ginger. Mr.. Bryan
whooped it up during the war only as
a squalling baby, while that mature
and sagacious statesman, william Nc
Kinley, was laying the foundation Of
m gF~at career by actually fighting
II 6ottles Of his country.

Oratd( Bryan cried aloud In 1850 was

account Of which William Mckinley
fought was national honor.-Chicago

BRYAN AND TAUBENECK.

''Taubeneck has an immense amount
OF impudence, a very small amount of
ability. and so long as he is at the
head of the populist party that party's
progress will be retarded.
Taubeneck has a habit of embark
ing in novel missions. He has made
more noise in favor of reform and has
injured reform more than any other
man in recent political history. He has
an impudent way of thrusting himself
upon gatherings where he Is not
wanted.
'.Taubeneck belongs to that class of
populists who have greater interest in
supplying themselves with places than
they have in the principles expounded
by their party
These are extracts from of Mr.. Bry-
ans editorial in the World-Herald
June is. 1895. on the chairman Of the
populist national committee. the man
who will have a good deal to say as to
whether Mr.. Bryan shall be Endorsed
by the populists at st. Louis.

COUNTY POLITICS.

w. J. Crandall. of Firth, is member
Of the republican state central COM
mittee. He was in the city this week
several days on business connected
with the committee. and he took occa-
sion to look after his candidacy for
county treasurer on the side. Mr.. Gran
dali Is greatly pleased at the outlook.
There Is no noticeable change in the
situation. 1t is reported every few
days that some new candidates are to
enter the field, but thus far they have
not made their appearance.

WHAT HE THINKS OF BRYAN.

A business man In this city received
a letter from a democratic correspond
ent in another state which closed with
this inquiry: What Is there Of Bryan
I think he IL brilliant, but not deep,
and pop In politics; how ID he?" ~
The business man made the following
repiy: a.
You ask what there Is Of Bryan.
He Is successful politician. an elo-
Quent speaker. an incisive debater. a
master OF the art Of presenting reasons
sound in appearance only. He pos
sesses and emits a vast amount Of
vocal patriotism. He breaches the
gospel of discomfort and denominates
a new crusade. Quick tn see an op-
pcrtunity. ne is equally quick to take
advantage thereof. He Is a most
pleasant man to meet. and Of excellent
reputation. He will receive the support
of that class which a few years since
supported Dennis Kearney, and will
also have the Endorsement of q larger
and better class Of citizens; but those
who believe in a stable government. in
the enforcement Of law, the protection
Of property and society. in the per-
Torrance Of obligations. who believe
that reputation Is dishonest. will not
find their ideal in Mr.. Bryan. He elec-
trihed an audience in Chicago by q
declamatory protest against cruelty
ing a man on a golden cross. Neither
the character Of the cross nor the man.
ner Of crucifixion would call from him
a protest provided such crucifixion
tended in the least degree to his per-
sonal aggrandizement. He il not a DEM
ocrat; he was not nominated by demo-
cratic votes. Two years ago In Chi
cago a lawless mob undertook to pre-
vent commerce between the states.
The president. acting under his oath.
called into action the forces Of the
government to enforce the law. For
this action he Is condemned by the
party which nominated Bryan. In view
of what was said by Senator Gordon
OF Georgia on the floor Of the senate
at the time Of the riot and what was
said by Senator PETER Of Kansas, at
the same time. 1t may be safely as
seraed that 1t was the party Of PETER
instead Of the party Of Gordon that
made Bryan a presidential nominee.
He will receive the votes of Most,
Spies. Altgeld and their followers. or
leaders. as you may zee fit to put 1t,
who, when permitted by the authori-
ties, march beneath the red nag Of
anarchy. He will also receive the sup
port of those who look to legislation
rather than to industry for prosperity;
who make contracts and incur debts
with the hope that a turn Of the politi-
cal wheel may enable them to avoid
their obligations. The man who be-
lieves that the government should
enact class legislation which will give
a fictitious value to one metal but not
to another; who, IL he borrows $1,000,
believes the government should enact
a law which will enable him to pay
the debt with $500. will support Bryan.
In my opinion. Mr.. Bryan will not
carry his own ward. his own city. his
own county. or his own state"

time ago caught large hammerhead
shark off Redondo beach. The big
creature towed the boat about for
nearly an hour, and when brought in
sight of the boat 1t was seen to have
several riders-fsh. almost pure black

tached to the shark.
They were clinging to the shark by
a curious sucker on the back of the

was attached it was extremely diff

How He Made Bell, Ring.

Recently, at one of our large hotels,
while party were holding an argu-
ment on the subject of spiritualism,
one young fellow expressed his belief
that there was something in it, as he
himself was a sort of medium"
''How a medium?' inquired one of
the speakers
why" replied the wag, 81 can do a
good many mysterious things; for in
stance, can make bell ring without
touching it"
The other offered to wager that he
couldn't. The wag persisted, and said
that he would lay him five pounds he
could make at least dozen of the bells
in the passage ring within two min
utes, without leaving his seat
"Doner' exclaimed the sceptic, and
the money was staked.
The young fellow turned round on
his seat. opened a closet door, and
turned off the gas from the upper part
Of the building In less than one min
ute half the bells IN the passage began
to ring violently, the persons above
having suddenly lost their lights.
And so, of course, the money was
fairly won.-Tit-Bits.

into another room, provided with the
same atmosphere, and is kept thor
oughly dry. Where there are clean
napkins every day, frequent changes

lost their former beauty, but are fast

Fishes
"Yes, we see curious things once in
awhile" said San Pedro fisherman
"A few days ago / made trip over the
Santa Satalina channel for d load of
abalcnes that they pile up at the 18TH
mus for me every few months, and when
j got off there about ten miles / saw a
big loon sitting on what seemed like a
spar.
But while / watched it seemed to
fall off, then circled around several
times and alighted again. retaining its
position with much difficulty.
I'VE slowly drifted up until we were
within fifty feet of it, when saw what
the roost was-not a spar at all, but q
big fish-one of these fellows the Ital-
ians call the luna, because il was like
the moon.
sThe fish lay almost fat on the
water, with one big fin sticking out,
the other being under water. and the
weight of the bird made it lie over to
one side. As we neared it the bird
rose and few away, and the fish
Strengthened up
az saw something about as curious
last year." continued the fisherman.
'sIn August the waters of the islands
off here from San Clemente up are
filed with fish that are spawning.
The water will then be covered in
places with small birds that look like
snipe.
''On this trip ] kept my eve out for
whales. When about halfway over,
right in midchannel. / saw the spout
of big gray whale. and the next min
ute saw the back of the whale, about
twenty feet of it, black as ink, on the
blue water. To my surprise il did not
disappear, and i soon concluded that
the big creature was either asleep or
lying on the surface summing itself
"As we came nearer ! saw at least
fifty little birds running about on its
back, feeding, evidently having feast
upon the various parasites on the
whales back.
They ran up ano down just as they
would on a beach, and it occurred to
me that it was not an accident, but
that there was some understanding be-
tween the whale and the birds; in
other wards, the whale knew that the
birds were relieving it of many para
sites that it could not get rid of in any
other way, and consequently submit
ted to their running over il.

ing dowE by Ensenada, ! ran into a
little bay one day. and saw what ] sup

face On IL were umerous birds walk
