This was the very reverse of what
Gen. Grant, after four years experience
in Washington as Generxl-ln- Chief,

not mine, and that he had no doubt that

Gen. Rawlins was very conscientious,
but a very sick man when appointed
Secretary of War. Several times he

and repeatedly said to me that he un-

THE DEMOCRATS
LOOKING AHEAD
Many of Their Number
Have a Choice for
Governor.
Budd, Mcguire and Phelan All
Have Their Eyes Cast
Heavenward.
Senator Whites Desire to Succeed
Himself Causes Lots of Trouble
and Worry.

Gubernatorial tim Der in the Democratic
ranks is growing. The crop promises to
be as large as ever. The Office is a good
one, and Democrats are just as hungry for
office as they have been.
Sieve White has Just decided he would
like TO be United States Senator again,
and that alters the political situation
somewhat. There were rumors that White
was about 10 quit drawing a Senator'S
salary for the reason that be believed he
could make more money practicing law
in New York. II report be true he has
changed his mind, and will enter the field
again for toga honors.
1t is said Budd wanted the job and
hoped that Rainey would help him to get
it, but the Governor, on second reflection,
is perfectly willing now to DO a second
term. Therefore there is Joy among the
reformers, headed by the lroquois Club.
and many others, including the single
takers, who see in this an opportunity to
boom Congressman Mcguire for the office.
still, there is no sorrow in Rainey for this
state of affairs. He has hopes oil beating
the reformers again. And thus the ball
rolls on.
Then James D. Phelan has political as
pirations and host of friends. A Mayor
OF San Francisco is a pretty big man in
California, and Mayors have been known
before 10 reach out for the governors hip
Therefore. Mayor Phelan is saving wood
and saying aothing, but he is none the
less formidable for that.
Mayor Phelan is rich and popular.
Governor Budd is not rich, but he, too, is
popular with his party followers; and
Congressman Mcguire is also Gin it." as
the saying goes, and the Democrats have
trouble ahead.

hind him. Budd has the Rainey push,
Phelan has great and growing following

Maguire's friends place their reliance in
the Stratton primary law, passed at the
last Legislature. with the hope of securing

m ust be the candidate, because he is the
favorite in the country districts. Still
Rainey is az good as a primary law every
time in City elections and has been known
to thwart its object before, and Rainey is
friend of Budd.
And Mayor Phelan has his popularity
and host OF friends, and the talent may
take its choice. The race is always to the
man who gets most votes. The only
difficulty in the way of this programme is
that the next Governor will be q Re-

THEY ARE NOT GAMBLERS.
Hundreds of Chinese Allowed to Go
Free on a Legal Tech
uaIjtV

Sixty Chinese arrested in a gam bling
house, and who were charged with vio-
iating the ordinance against the playing
of fan-tan, were set free Wednesday morn
ing by Police Judge Campbell. There
were $50 more cases before the same court
yesterday morning, and similar decision
was given.
The same cases had been pending for
months before Judge Joachimsen, who re-
Gently went away on his vacation after
having transferred them to Judge Camp
belP court.
At one time Attorneys James F. Smith
and Joseph Coffey for the defense hit
upon plan by which their clients would
clog up the court for years if acquittals
were not granted. They refused TO pick
them at the bar upon their cases being
called. They claimed that the arresting
officers must perform their duty in that
respect. As Chinese look very much
alike to the Caucasian eye, and the several
hundre that had been arrested were out
on bail, the prosecution could not select
single one to stand as a test case.
Judge Joachimsen considered that At
torney Smith was trifing with justice and
adjudged him guilty of contempt of court.
The appeal to the Superior Court went
against Attorney Smith, who had 10 pay
his fine and suffer imprisonment for few
days.
Subsequently Attorney John E. Rich
ards entered into the cases ana argued
that the prosecution must prove that the
defendants were app ehended in gam
bling houses, and Superior Judge Carroll
Cook decided case on appeal in favor of
the defense.
On the strength of this decision Judge
Campbell Wednesday and yesterday dis
missed the cases before him, saying the
dimes and nickeis found on the premises
when the arrests were made, the rulers,
mating and sundry other articles scat
tered about the places, were not sufficient
to indicate that the occupants of the room
found lounglng about had been gam Dling
or that the houses were used for gambling
purposes.

The round trip from Ogden to Salt Lake

Mabel Duff. Beautiful but Wan

to Self-ReSpeot,
Judge Allen 0heerfully Orders That
Her Sentence Be Finally
Suspended.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL
COS Broad wav lima %

9O8 Broadway. June "a.
The final suspension OF a judgment in
the Police Court this morning n the case
OF Mabel Duff shows how much better it
IS sometimes to be merciful than to be
harsh and incidentally throws a strong
sideiight on the grand work being accom-
pllshed by the Salvation Army Rescue
Home at Beulah.
Some months ago Mabel Duff, II years
old, was arrested for vagrancy. She was
q most interesting prisoner. While in the
dock she showed that she had not a par
ticle of self-respect left Yet she was one
OF the most beautiful young girls that
could be found anywhere. 1t was evident
that she had received a good education,
and Judge Allen was very loath to send
her to the cells with depraved and drunken
women of older years.
When the Judge spoke to her and was
giving her some good advice, Mabel
leered at him and indicated plainly that
she thought he was just wasting his time.
Sill he did not think it was so much de-
pravity as ''cussedness" that actuated Ia e
girl, and after a consultation with Chief
Lloyd 1t was decided to try 10 induce
the girl to go TO the Beulah Home
1t took many talks to persuade the girl
10 60 TO the home, but finally the plead
Beulah. The SslvItion Army Iassies soon
convinced her that there was a better lie
Than that OF vagrant for a young girl,
and little by little the re beIlious Mabel
was transformed, and il was found that
she bad tractab BILE disposition when
rightly handled. Ensign HeffeIman has
worked faithfully with his charge and
now she Is able 10 report that Mabel is a
good girl and anxious 10 do what is right.
It would be difficult to recognize in the
sweet-faced Firl at Beulah the worldly
woman of the Police Court dock and
when the report was made TO the court
Judge Allen expressed great commenda-
tion for the methods that could transform
such a girl.
This morning the case was called, as
sentence had been temporarily suspended
TO This date. The officer of the Salvation
Army Home was on hand and informed
the court that Mabel is now as gentle, low
ing and obedient as she could have been
when she played the organ in the little
church in Southern California before her
mothers death. On this showing judg-
ment was finally suspended and Mabel is
now free from the law.
