 Campaign Committee.

The Phelan Committee of One Hun dred Job Chasers, who have taken upon themselves the management of the local Democracy, met last night in Native Sons building, but owing to the neglect of the boss to arrange a programme no business could be transacted. Chairman Mcdonald was absent, and Secretary Walsh called the few members present to order. He announced that it would be first in order to elect a temporary chairman.
 Max Pepper nominated F H. McCarthy and he was elected. 1naSmuch as there was not a quorum present the secretary did not call the roll.

 Resolved, That we are in favor of mu- nicipal ownership of a complete domeS- tic water system which will supply. to every inhabitant and every interest with and cheap supply of pure water without the annoyance of petty regulations and exactions prescribed by the existing com panieS.
 And we further declare that we are un- alterably opposed to renewal of the lease of the Los Angeles Water Company other corporation, firm or person whatso- ever, any privilege of franchise for the sale or distribution of water in and for said city of Los Angeles.

 The Republican party Is now Tn better condition than it has been in many years The party is not alone united, but IL IS thoroughly organized in every district The district clubs organized few weeks ago have large membership rolls and the campaign work is steadily going on.
 The candidates will not confine their et- forts to these meetings alone. They nave been for the past week canVaSSlng the city from one end to another and much good work has been accomplshed. The district meetings held by Henry T: Gage, the gubernatorial candidate, and Charles l.. Patton the leader of the local ur'ret, resulted in arousing the interest of all Republicans.

The Naval Court of Inquiry
Report.

Tho2e of us who refused to take
the leap to the conclusion that the ex
plosion that destroyed the Maine was
external in its source; who could not
believe that Spanish officials would be
so reckless as to locate the Maine over
mine with intent to destroy her, must
revise our judgments. The report of
the court leaves no room for a shadow
Of question. The evidence as to the
condition of the plates of the hull
shows conclusively that an external
force wrecked the vessel
The court avoids fixing responsibility.
That. after finding the primal fact Of
source, was beyond its Jurisdiction.
But the conclusion as to where respon-
sibility lies is irresistible. The Maine
was directed to her anchorage by a
Spanish official. He anchored her over
a mime. 1t was exploded and the ship
wrecked and two hundred and sixty
two lives hurled into eternity. No
mine Of such tremendous force could
have been placed there without the
knowledge and consent Of the respon-
sible representatives of Spain. It Is
absurd to claim that it was the act Of
a private person. The mere prepara-
ton Of the mine, the placing Of 1t in
position, the arrangement Of the wires
for it's explosion. called for actions that
could not be secretly performed
The act was one Of war, with the
added odium Of treachery The con-
firmation of the act by the report
brings the country and the president
to that crisis. foreshadowed by Presi-
dent Cleveland. when Intervention to
stop hostilities would become impera-
tive. 1t brought to a quick culmina-
ton the long gathering causes for In
PREVENTION. And the president shrinks
from the duty laid upon him. The
country does not; congress may not.

The Presidents Message.

There will be a distinct sense Of dis
appointment follow the reading of
the conclusion of the message with
which the president accompanies the
report of the naval court Of inquiry of
its investigation into the explosion that
destroyed the Maine. 1t is absolutely
colorless. FROM it no one can gather
what impression the report made on
the president, or what line Of policy 1t
opened. Had it transmitted the report
of the Nicaragua canal commission or
one from the Dawes Indian commission,
1t could not have been more perfume
tory. The president plainly casts upon
congress the burden of initiation He
cannot bring himself to the point of
decision. He thus reveals, at a crucial
moment, that weakness. that indie
cisiveness OF character. known to those
who know him best
The intimation that another message
Is to follow asking congress to appro-
pirate half a million dollars to be eS-
pended in providing relief stores for
destitute Cubans. with the further in
timation that it is a move to adroitly
force from Spain either a refusal, OF,
by an acceptance of the aid, an admis-
sion of her own incapacity to care for
her people, foreshadows a shallow play
of petty politics. unworthy of the pres
idency. and better adapted to the little
politics Of a state or congressional
campaign. The president fails to rise
to the greatness of the situation. This
will be the judgment of his fellow pal
tisans. as well as Of those who oppose
his party's policies.
The court Of inquiry kept strictly
within it's Jurisdiction. That was to
ascertain and report the facts 1t was
the presidential function to draw the
conclusions of law. to point where the
responsibility fell. and to submit to
congress his recommendations based
upon his conclusions. This was the
general expectation, and it was a rea-
sonable one. The only possible conclu-
sion to be drawn brought the president
face to face with a momentous duty.
He shrank from it and turned away
his face. The American people will
feel that he is not equal to the occa-
sion that confronts him.
