A WASHINGTON dispatch says that
Mckinley is likely to take care of his
friends in the matter of appoint
ments, and that none but original
Mckinley men need apply. If this is
so, the Reynolds faction of Forsyth

at the National pie counter. The

1T is argued that the lease of the

because a railroad company has no

WE are grieved to learn of the
death of Mr.. W. W. McDiarmid, edi

which occurred at his home yester
day morning, after short illness of
pneumonia. His geniality was a
source of life and pleasure at the

missed by the Press Association, of
which he was a frequent attendant
and in whose proceedings ne mani
tested much interest. The News and
Observer pays this tribute to our
lamented friend: "He was a jovial,
warm-hearted, true man; an enter
prising and successful editor; a cor
rect and popular official, having
been treasurer of his county; wise
and active Democrat; and a sincere
Christian"

AT the time the lease of the North
Carolina railroad was made, The
SENTINEL, in common with nearly all
the newspapers of the State, ex-
pressed opposition to a lease to run
for SO long a period us ninety-nine
years. We also opposed lease for
any period so far in advance of the
expiration of the present lease. We
also thought it unbusiness like to
close contract without ascertaining
whether or not a better trade could
be made. Now we are strengthened
in these opinions by bid of $780,
900 more per year than will be re-
ceived if the ninety-nine year lease
should stand.

OUR NEW YEARS EDITION

There is doubtless more inquiry about
Southern California at present than at
any previous time in its history. People
seem to be actually hungry for informa
ton, and it seems almost impossible to
fully supply the demand.
Some people want to know about olive
growing; others about oranges and lemons;
still others desire information regarding
the mines, or about the various cities. The
climate, the soil and the people Of South
ern California and all that concerns them
are alike of interest all over the union
and facts and figures, presented In con-
else and Ineligible form, are wanted.
1t is seldom that diversified information
of this character is obtainable in one publ
cation. 1t is proper. therefore, to call at
tention to the forthcoming New Years
edition of The Herald, which will appear
next Sunday. A partial table of contents
of this edition appears elsewhere in this
issue. An admirable feature of the publi-
cation is that it will be wrapped ready for
mailing. so that it may be dispatched with
the least possible trouble and loss of time
Those who have friends in the east desir-
GUS of learning the facts about Southern
California can do no better than to send
them a copy of the New Year Herald. 1t
will fill the bill exactly.

Of a Judicial of5icer. II has been = lono
time in the making, but It was bound
to come at last. Judge Beatty. In pre-
senting concurring opinion said:
The report OF the newspaper was not
an attack upon the court. or an inter-
ference with the proceedings Of the
court. but was an attack upon the man.
for which. IL 1t was malicious and un-
founded, he had the same. and no other,
means of redress that the law gives
to every citizen who Is the victim Of
libel.
That is the proper distinction to be
made. The mere fact that man is a
Judge does not make him infallible. nor
does 1t make his fallible statements and
acts exempt from criticism. We heard
more or less of that nonsense during the
last campaign, when the Democratic
party was condemned on account Of its
criticism of the federal supreme court.
That controversy had good effect, for
it caused people to study the history Of
their country and learn the facts.
A responsible newspaper is responsible
for it's utterances, whether they relate to
a judge or to anyone else. The law pro-
vides protection and reparation where
injustice is done.

A FRIEND IN DAVIS

An interesting special dispatch from
Washington seems to assure us that
Southern California, after all, has a
good friend at the war department. as
Major Davis, the engineer who prepared
the specifications for the construction
of the breakwater at San Pedro, is TAX
ing precautions against any more OBJ
structive strategies on the part of Coils
p. Huntington. To avoid excessive and
prohibitive freight charges which might
be imposed by our shrewd Uncle Col
lis" bidders are to be given an option to
quarry stone on the government reser-
vation at San Clemente. 1t is certainly
prudent and source for qualification
that the arch-enemy of San Pedro harbor
should be thus forestalled. Another rea-
son for qualification is the probability of
there being more than the usual num-
ber of bids to consider" and the evident
interest of contractors. Our Washington
thinks there is little
chance of the awards being made before
the middle of March.

A BAD APPOINTMENT

1t is asserted positively that the pres
ident will appoint ex-Judge Paxson, re-
ceiver of the Reading railroad, to be
interstate commerce commissioner, de-
spite the protests of representatives of
labor and Senator Cullom, and notwith-
standing the fact that grave doubt ex-
lists as to whether the gentlemen is ELI
gible.
1t is openly charged that the Pennsyl-
vania Railway company demands the
appointment of Judge PaXson in return
for the heavy contribution that the COM
pany made to the Republican campaign
sight draft has been made upon the ad-
ministration to pay the Republican
party's political debts. With this ex-
PLANTATION, it is not hard to see what is
the source and foundation of the presi-
dents "firmness."
The law forbids persons holding rela-
tions with any common carrier subject
to the provisions of the interstate COM
illelCe dtl, IIOili d seat on the
commission. Paxson is receiver of the
Reading railroad.
While he was receiver, Paxson joined
the Trunk line pool, combination which
the commission declared to be illegal.
The case is pending in the federal su-
preme court, and Paxson, as receiver, is
one OF the defendants. If he is appointed
to the commission he will become his
own prosecutor.
Furthermore, should Paxson be ap-
pointed, all the members of the commits
sion would come from east of the Allie
gheny mountains. Weak and helpless as
the interstate commerce commission has
for years proved to be, it would at
least be equitable and fair to have the
west represented.
The appointment Of Judge Paxson ap-
pears to be Objectionable from every
point of view except that of the cam
paign fund creditors of the Republican
party. 1t seems to be choice between
paying a political debt and securing the
interests of the people. Which will win ?
The herald., 1897-12-30
THAT RESOLUTION

At a recent meeting the executive
committee of the Democratic party of
this county unanimously adopted reso-
luton condemning bad men and bad
methods in politics. That resolution, at
the request of the committee was pub
lished in The Herald on the 18th inst.
Since that time certain individuals, upon
various grounds and for divers reasons
have criticised the committee for adopt-
ing it.
That resolution was directed against
ward strikers and criminals-the men
who, by their manipulations, have hith-
erto controlled primaries and conven-
tions, not for the purpose of nominating
upright and honest men for office, but for
the sole purpose OF placing their tools
and puppets in nomination in the interest
OF some opposing nominee, or for the pur-
pose of selling out to the highest. or any
bidder. If proof of these assertions is
asked for the primaries, conventions and
elections of the last six years will be
put in evidence.
Every movement to strike q blow at
the men who are in politics for revenue
ana who have no hesitancy in sacrifice
ing party and principle for their selfish
and unscrupulous ends, is always met
by the same cry of surprise and profess
sion of innocence.
Inc policy man comes around, whis-
pers in the ear and advises for the best
interests of the party to let the matter
drop. But the ward politicians never lei
matters drop. AS soon as they have nro-
fessed repentance and promised reform
and thereby secured respite, they talk
about harmony, the weather shake the
hand and depart to their haunts. The
best element of the party, lulled into
hope for better methods and better mon
throws up its hands and surrenders The
result has always been the same. The
boys get control of the primaries and
of the conventions, nominate the candi-
dates and succeed in defeating them.
Occasionally a good man is elected. but
accidents happen in spite of Well-laid
plans.
The resolution affords an ant illustra-
tloh ana proof of all that has been said

THE USUAL RESULT

Poker" Davis and his gang have once
Some three weeks ago one James c.
johnson, hailing from Arizona, was bun
coed out of S145. John Howard and
William Dale were to have been tried for
the offense last Tuesday. The defend
ants were promptly on hand, but the
prosecuting witness was not. He had
disappeared less than ten hours before,
although he had declared that he would
be on hand to prosecute the case. The
presumption is that the bunco men
bought him off, as they have done with
their victims in many previous instances.
Johnson should be brought to book if it
takes all summer, and an example should
be made of him that will deter others
from following his corrupt course. The
trick has been played too often and has
given the confidence men an Indifference
toward the law that amounts to sheer
contempt.
1t is fair to assume that the laws
ing outcome of the case against the
members of the Davis gang. The Of
Tense charged was committed some
three weeks ago; the alleged guilty men
were promptly arrested, and there seems
to have been no good reason why the
trial should not have been promptly pro-
ceeded with. AS it was, the bunco men
had plenty of time to procure a mis-
carriage of justice.
The case is but another practical il
lustration of the fact that the machinery
of the law is being used to a lamentable
and alarming extent for the protection
of the criminal, rather than for the
achievement of the ends of justice. There
ought to be a radical change in either the
theory or the practice of criminal law
as it is being laid down in our courts.

Special Editions

There will be many special editions to

to illustrated Redlands." the incorpora-
ton edition of the Redlands Daily Facts.
There have been special numbers that
equal 1t as to the text and the variety and
scope of subjects treated. but 1t Is In the
matter of illustrations that illustrated

posed of 100 large pages, printed on heavy

lands will appreciate its value.

Reflections of a Bachelor

In place of a mans mind woman has a
thing that she guesses with.
A man can be led. but not driven; a
woman can be driven. but not led.
Take motherhood away from feminin-
ity and you have a fancy petticoat.
The average man would rather see girl
have the nosebled than to see her cry.
A girl is capable of a great deal as long
as she isn't sure that she is capable of
getting a certain man.
A girl generally thinks she Is old enough
to wear a iow-necked dress about two
years before her mother let's her; and a
mother generally thinks she is young
enough to about four years after her
daughter wants her to.-New York Press.

THE RIGHT OF CRITICISM

McClatchy was not allowed to put in

Mr.. La Rue for oovernor

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Heralds
note that a large number of the more in-
fiuential Democratic papers Of Northern
California are earnestly discussing Rail.
available man to nominate for governor.
His friends urge lin his behalf that he
would be satisfactory. both to the farming
and commercial interests Of the state. It
Is urged that he Is a successful farmer and
business man, with no new experimental
methods of government In his head to
promote. and hence all Industrial interests
will not be frightened at the announces
ment of his candidacy. There Is Significance
In the fact that Mr.. LaRue Is primarily q
farmer candidate. Although California
is the greatest agricultural and horticul.
tural state in the union. she Is perhaps the
only one that has never elected farmer
governor, lieutenant governor or, United
States senator. and only three or -FOUR
farmers out of about sixty congressman.
1t is urged by his friends that Mr.. LaRue
is a typical successful farmer, he having
harvested over forty crops in the state.
and for twenty odd years having been .
prominent director Of the state 'agricul-
tural society.
His friends also insist that he Is not an
old fogy farmer. and point to the several
addresses he has delivered as president OF
the State Agricultural society. and insist
that they are models Of diction, and show
of the topics of the day.
Moreover, his friends claim that he has
been just as successful In the field Of poll
tics. He was one of the substantial mem-
bers of the constitutional convention. He
was elected member of the legislature
In 1884. from hts home In Sacramento,
when the railraod question was the DOM
inant II not the sole. ISSUE That was the
legislature that was forced to hold an
extra session to settle the railroad Quee-
tion and to legislate the new constitution,
into force and effect.
Because Mr. LaRue fully represented the
anti-railroad element. he was chosen
speaker of the house. a position which he
filled with honor and ability. His friends
insist that he Is a man of iron-gray in
tegrity and square-toed determination. and
that his contest against corporate greed
has been effective, because there Is no
element of the demagogue In his compo-
sition.
\ At the last general election he was elect-
ed railroad commissioner over Beckman,
the incumbent and railroad candidate. In
a strong Republican district Indeed. his
friends urge that his strength of character
and availability as candidate has been
determined by the fact that he has always
been politically successful in a district
where his party was In almost hopeless
minority-where 1t took character and not
political backing to win.
As railroad commissioner he has pushed
the fight for equity and Justice. In and ont
of the courts. to the very last ditch. In
fact. Mr. LaRues friends enthusiastically
claim that his career Is part Of the In

California. and II all is true that =
