AN IDEAL CANDIDATE

In the course Of a sprightly editorial
on the candidacy Of Secretary Carlisle,
and the captious and inane criticisms
evoked by his recent letter to the
chairman Of the Democratic state CEN
trail committee of Kentucky from the
Republican press, the San Francisco
Town Talk, which, by the way, IL one
of the handsomest and best edited
weeklies on the Pacific coast, has the
following to say of the secretary as a
presidential candidates:
1T may be said that Mr.. Carlisle
would make an ideal Democratic candi-
date if it were not for the fact that the
nomination of a southern man would
probably be seized upon as sufficient
excuse for making an attempt to revive
sectional ill-feeling and jealousy. This
attempt would probably fall of its pur-
pose, If. indeed, it did not in the reac-
ton injure those who made it. Never
theless, the propriety of encountering a
possibility of this issue being raised is
a debatable question that must be con-
sidered in connection with Mr.. Carlisle's
candidacy. Apart from that, he would
make just such a candidate as real
Democrats could rally round with en-
thusiasm. He is strong, clear-headed
and self-reliant man, who, while loyalty
yielding obediance to the Democratic
idea of popular sovereignty. has never
prejudiced the public interests of his
country by catering to demagogy. His
ability Is admitted, and his personal
honor has never been even questioned
outside Of the columns Of newspapers
that are for sale to every public prosti-
tute corporation, abortionist or other
rascal to be found in the country"

THE FIEsrA's LINE OF MARCH

pect that the product of their labor will

efforts of the kind; but being human.
they are liable to err, and The Herald
Is convinced that they have erred in
omitting from the line of march Sc
lected for the Fiesta professions the
block on Spring street between First
and Temple streets. This block em-
braces majority of the leading dry
goods stores of the city, several banks
and q number of other strictly represen-
tative business establishments. AL
though the retail business of the city
has shown a marked tendency to drift
south of First street, it is safe to say
that at least as much business is at
present transacted on the block left out
by the Fiesta committee as on any other
IN the city. 1t is in every sense one OF
the most important blocks, and de-
serves equal consideration by the FL
esta managers with any. Its occupants
have liberally subscribed to the funds

Until within the last year or two it
has been the custom to have process

change-one that is certainly not war
ranted yet by the shifting Of the retail
business of the city. if it ever will be.
The Herald hopes that the Fiesta COM
mittee will see fit to revise their plans
to the extent Of including Spring street
between First and Temple, in the route
that is to be made gay with the Fiesta

ly implication of a charge the man did
not dare to make explicitly. 1t was that
Election Clerk Hargrove had alb
stracted some certificates Of registra-
ton. The lost certificates had been in
the hands of c. E. Slosson and w. H.
Evans only, and as the voters to whom
they belonged were believed to be op-
posed to Evans, boss candidate for the
office of city clerk, and Slosson a ring
factotum, the electors naturally sus-
pected them to be the cause of their
disappearance. Mr.. Harerove was in
terested In their production at the polls,
and not in their suppression, as he was
an ardent and efficient antagonist of the
ring. The attempt to throw suspicion
upon him is very ridiculous to the peo-
pie of Monrovia, but is calculated and
intended to be injurious to him where
the facts are not known. Hence. it was
trick low and mean enough to be
played by the bosses themselves.
Maulsby denounces all the challenges
and seems to think an election is q sort
of free-for-all sport instead of the grav-
est and most important performance Of
duty incident to citizenship. His gypsy
ing habits have produced great mental
and moral distortion which prevent his
getting a correct view of anything.
The challenge of w. N. Monroe's vote
on the ground that he was a citizen of
Chile was a plain duty on the part of
those who had reason to believe that
he had abjured his allegiance to the
United States and sworn fealty to the
little South American republic, and
those referred to as the "Hargrove-
Ingersoll combination"-that is, two
anti-ring citizens whose oaths as cleo
ton officers compelled them to defend
the ballot box against proclamation by
illegal votes, had good reason to believe,
and did believe, and still believe, that he
had no right to vote. That Monroe, IN
the confusion that followed the chal-
lenge, was allowed to vote without be-
ing sworn and examined touching his
qualifications, is to be regretted. But
the matter will be investigated fully be-
fore the November election. In 1889 that
gentleman, under sensational circum-
stances not mentionable at present, le-
wanted from his native land to Chile.
he had been naturalized there. Their
report was generally credited, and 1t
was no answer to the challenge for Mr..
Monroe to take off his hat, exhibit his
red hair, demand whether or not he
looked like citiZei. of Chile, display a
badge of some sort of society and abuse
the challenger, although the astute cor
respondent of the Times thinks such
antics conclusive proof of his right to
vote. There is no law in Chile prohibit
ing the naturalization of red-headed
foreigner. nor is there any statute Of the
United States or of the state of Cali
fornia that makes the possession Of
society badge an excuse for frauds up
on the ballot box.

Misfortune continues to pile thick
and fast on the heads of the luckless
Spaniards in Cuba. The Cuban insur-
gents have adopted a "Marseillaise." :"
They call it 1.-THE Bayames Hymn" If
they cannot drive the Spanish out of
their beloved isle with arms they may
with song. The origin of the song is
given as follows:
In the last war-the ten years war
the city of Bayamo was to have been
occupied by Spanish army. The peo-
pie were aware of the approach of the
enemy. and, as the Russians did at
Moscow. they burned their city, leav-
ing nothing but smoldering ruins to
exhibit their hatred and horror of the
invaders. To this day Bayamo of the
'70s is simply a monument of crumbling
walls to the patriotism of people who
had even before that inspired the Bay
Ames Hymn" by their deeds. 1t is a
spirited air, fully equal to most national
anthems.

Cruelty to Animals

Humane Officer Clark yesterday
morning arrested a Chinese vegetable
peddler named Lou Yen on San Pedro
street, between Fifth and Sixth. for
cruelty to animals. Yen was driving
an attenuated specimen of the equine
species, thin as a skeleton and so badly
diseased that its hind quarters were par
alyzed and the animal was barely able
to drag itself along. The horse was con-
denlned and shot, while Yen appeared
before Justice Owens to answer. His
case was set for today and the Celestial
released on 500 bonds.

Gertie Carlisle will render in her OWN
inimitable way a selection of new songs
Miss Carlisle has made a great hit, and
is Duite as much favorite here as in
San Francisco. The Vertillis are new
people, and they will give very inter-
esting and instructive turn in their
Wonderland Views of the World. The
Orpheus quartet will appear in ballads
and sentimental and comic songs. The
northern press speaks of them in the
most hattering terms. They are known
as the California singers. and compare
favorably with the Gotham City quar-
tet, whose work attracted so much at
tention when here.
The Kins- Ners will appear in their
wonderful feats of strength and bal
ancing Mr.. Kins-N Ners has quite recov
cred from the effects OF a dislocated
shoulder, and will be prepared to do his
best work. He is truly a wonder and
after seeing him one can only term him
the Little Sandow. His feats of strength
and balancing are quite beyond belief
in one of such slight build. He weighs
hut 120 pounds.
The bill will comprise eight acts, with
a specially prepared musical program
by Dion Romandy 1t will be one of
the best shows of the season, and is re-
rlete with songs. music, acrobatic feats,
balancing, comedy and wit. There will
be a matinee this afternoon. at which

upon nature apart from her art. She
is a very pretty woman, with correct
idea of dressing herself, which adds
much to her other attractions.

woman. She has the temerity to dress
herself in accordance with the character
of her part, whether her costumes are
becoming or not The fair sex will
agree in saying that this requires no
mean amount of courage. Perhaps
however. she is aware that her acting

says: Il can only class the Andersons
as among the whitest teams that ever

The Corty Brothers will appear this

They perform some of the most laugh

as that by Caron and Herbert, who

wears of age he drifted to Kansas city
and. as he SAYS went into business
blacking shoes. When business was
dull he could always earn little money
by dancing on the street and passing the
hat. His first appearance on the stage
was at a Kansas City variety house.
That was sixteen years ago. He got oo
cents a week and. as he says. when he
got the first weeks pay he felt that he
was a -tiedged actor. The part he
took was to walk across the stage as
soubrette sang the chorus to There's a
New Coon in Town. which was at that
time a new popular song. He says:
