KICK THE BRIBERS OUT

The Democratic county convention
which will convene at Santa Monica to-
morrow is the same body that originally
met to select delegates to the state con-
vention at Sacramento. 1t will be re-
membered that the railroad push Sc
cured a small representation in that
body, and, through skillful manipula-
tion, got themselves included in the
Sacramento delegation. Among their
number was the notorious Ygnacio Bill
derrain, confidence operator and mem
ber Of the Poker Davis gang.
AS soon as the delegation to Sacra-
mento had been named, the railroad
push set out to capture majority Of
It by the use Of railroad passes and,
presumably, by the use Of railroad
money. They did not succeed in steal
ing majority of the delegation, but,
by adroit scheming, they did succeed
in 'hoodoing" the delegation to a GER
tain extent and depriving Los Angeles
county Of the chairman of the conven-
tion. Their scheme of bribery by the
use of railroad passes was exposed on
the floor Of the Sacramento convention
and documentary evidence was sub
mitted to substantiate the charge. 1t
brought down a storm of indignation
on the heads Of the bribers.
The men against whom these charges
stand proven are Thomas McCaffery,
M. w. Conklng, Louis Herzog and Ed
ward Morris.
We think that, when the Los Angeles
county convention reassembles tomor-
row, it should vindicate itself by sum-
marily eXpelling these men from men,
bership. AS executives Of the rail-
roads political schemes, they do not
properly belong on the floor Of a Dem
ocratic convention. They are not Dem
ocrats in any true sense if they are not
anti-monopoly Democrats. It's a safe
bet that Thomas McCaffery and the
entire railroad push element will vote
the Republican state ticket next No
vember. The Herald is informed that
McCaffery is a prominent member of
the railroad club of this city, organ
ized to oppose the Democratic ticket.
The traitors ought to be drummed out
of camp. We look for the convention
at Santa Monica to do it's duty with
out fear or favor.

thrown upon the market in brief time,
and the demand has not been strong
enough to absorb It at such prices as the
fruit should command.
The experience Of last season shows
the Importance of extending the orange
harvest as long as possible. Last year
some navels were sent to the east in
time for Thanksgiving. The fruit was
unripe and unfit for Californian to
eat, but eastern dealers wanted them
for their trade, and eagerly bought them
up at high prices. When the bulk Of
the navel crop came to be harvested
the supply soon exceeded the demand.
and prices dropped to very low figures.
There may be something practicable
in the idea, held by some intelligent
growers, that it is possible to force the
growth Of oranges by special fertiliza-
ton. If this plan could be made so far
effective as to permit the marketing of
a good share of the navel crop before
the holidays, and in prime condition,
the aggregate value would be greatly
increased. But with the possibility Of
spreading the orange crop over ten
months of the year, by growing various
kinds, it is obvious that it would be pos
sible to avoid breaking the market by
overstock in January and February.
with heavy consequent loss.

A. RECORD OF DISHONOR

President Mckinley was thoroughly
acquainted with Ayers military rec
ord when the latter was bounding him
for place in the cabinet He knew
that Generals Custer, Merritt, Torbett
and Sheridan had all certified that AL
ger deserved to be dismissed from the
army. The reports of these officers had
been published in the newspapers.
General Custer, who was the brigade
commander of Colonel Alger's regiment
attested that Alger suddenly disap-
peared, and he subsequently learned
that the colonel "was stopping at the
Eutaw House in Baltimore" General
Custer further says he left his com
mand without authority, and after be-
ing refused leave Of absence"
This statement of General Clusters
passed to General Wesley Merritt, who
is now on his way from Manila to at
tend the peace conference in Paris
General Merritt says:
The case mentioned within is the third
in which Colonel Alger has absented
hlmSeH from the command without
proper authority since the commence
mant of the present years campaign.
Severe measures should be taken TO
prevent recurrence OF the evil.
From General Merritt the case went
to GerAal Torbett, chief of cavalry.
General Torbetts Endorsement was q
recommendation that Colonel Alger "be
dismissed from the service for absence
without leave, subject to the approval
OF the PRESIDENT
AS President Mckinley is proud of
being himself a soldier and as he knew
all about Alger's record of dishonor in
the army, it is evident that Alger's
faithful service to himself and the
party must have had a most powerful
influence.

HOME INTERESTS FIRST

In the biennial election system of
tional importance with those that are
mainly local. Two years ago the eyes
of the nation were turned upon Cali
fornia. The electoral vote of our state
might have determined the question of
the presidency of the United States.
Two years hence California will again
be a focus Of national interest, when a
similar situation will be presented.
Our mid-presidentia elections are
nationally important only so far as rep
resentation in congress is concerned. In
the coming election the state will change
its delegation in the lower branch of
that body and will make one change in
Its representation in the senate. Home
interests will therefore predominate in
the minds of intelligent voters. While
national affairs will not be lost sight of,
the fact will impress itself deeply that
the country is safe, and that Califor-
mans should give thought and action
primarily to their interests at home.
So far as the southern end Of the state
Is concerned, there is practically no diff
ference of opinion, even among strong
partisans, as to essential elements of our
prosperity. Unfortunately We are pecu-
liarly circumstance. Heretofore we
have had to fight for every point Of
vantage in the progress Of our section,
and the indications are unmistakable
that we shall have to continue the fight
Indefinitely if we wish to push to our
deserved place at the front.
There is nothing in the present align
ment of political parties to prevent
voters from casting their ballots with
special reference to their home inter-
ests. 1t is needless to tell dwellers in
Southern California what these inter-
ests are. They are absolutely non
political, and they are purely local. This
section of the state demands its right
hl share in the distribution of attain

able aids to its prosperity, and 1t should
fight for that share with closed ranks.
unmindful of all other considerations.
When Southern Californians look back
upon the splendid service rendered by
Senator White, in checking, and even
foiling, the common enemy Of the peo-
pie, they must necessarily be impressed
by the danger that now confronts them
without a champion to speak for them
in the United States senate they would
be at the mercy Of a mighty corpora
tion that Senator White has fought SO
faithfully and so we'll. Recognizing this
danger, as all Intelligent voters do, the
necessity for independent action be-
comes obvious.
Southern California was by common
consent, at the outset of the political
contest, conceded the right to the choice
of governor or United States senator.
Taking population into account solely,
we might call ourselves fortunate In
getting so much. From the very be-
ginning of discussion on the subject
down to the sudden announcement of
Mr.. Cages candidacy, it was understood
by everybody, as a matter of course,
that our choice was the senatorship.
The Republican press of the whole sec
ton was unanimous on this point. In
dividual Republicans, other than those
who wear the brand of the Southern
Pacific monopoly. thus freely expressed
themselves. There was, in fact, prac-
tical unit of sentiment, to the effect
that Southern California cared nothing
for the governorship, because of its COM
parative unimportance to our material
interests.
No person with a modicum Of judg-
ment or discernment believes it posi-
BILE for Southern California to capture
both the governor and the senator. If
Mr. Gage should be elected governor,
and with him Republican legislature,
it is just as certain as tomorrow's sun
rise that Senator Whites successor will
be no friend of this section, and it is
more than probable that he will be
creature of the very influence from
which the senator has so effectively
guarded and defended us.

THAT DEAD ISSUE"

All the Democratic state conventions
thus far held have responded en-
phatically to Mr.. Cages averment that
the silver question is "a dead issue"
In no instance has there been a fall
ure to heartily indorse the Chicago
platform. Every state platform yet re-
ported makes explicit demand for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
in the ratio of 16 to l." There is but
little probability that any Democratic
convention yet to be held will omit to
put the silver plank in its platform
In New York as might be expected,
there will be a warm contest on this
point. The vast army of Democrats
who were led from their political allie
glance two years ago are believed to
be largely inclined to return to the fold
The stanch supporters Of free silver are
determined to force the issue on the
convention, which will be held next
week, and they boldly declare that
they will bolt the ticket unless free
silver is incorporated in the platform.
In fact, the popularity of the silver
Issue is growing and expanding every
where. 1t is better understood now,
by the mass of the people, than it was
at the time of the last presidential
election. There are thousands Of Dem
ocrats, all over the country, who were
misled before, but cannot be misled now.
The county conventions that as
semble at Santa Monica tomorrow will
speak for the people on the subject of
Mr.. Cages dead issue" If all indica-
tions are not very deceptive, the Re
publican candidate for governor will
learn, early in November, that in mis-
taking free silver for dead issue he
stepped on live wire.
