GET THE FACTS FIRST.

David Crockett. of pioneer memory, was
man with the courage Of his own con-
victions. His rule of action was. BE sure
you're right, then go ahead" That is al
ways good advice, and never better than
now, in regard to the Maine disaster
A large proportion Of the people Of the
United States apparently believe that the
battleship Maine was destroyed by a
Spanish mine or torpedo, and are anxious
to cry havoc. and let loose the dogs of
war. This assumption of Spanish guilt is
fostered by two yellow journals in New
York city. and few reckless newspapers
in other parts of the country
The simple, absolute fact is. that no one
knows what caused the explosion No one
knows whether it was one Of the several
magazines OF the vessel or her boilers, or
whether It was torpedo or mine. No
one has any knowledge which would serve
as basis Of an intelligent opinion.
The government is absolutely right in
refusing to take any action until It has
the facts for its guidance. No time is
being lost. The divers are at work on the
hull Of the Maine. The record Of her
torn hull will keep. The investigation
will be both prompt and thorough. Spain
Is giving us every opportunity in her
power, for to interfere with the work
would bring upon her the suspicion Of
every nation. The circumstances Of the
disaster demand that it's causes shall be
fully ascertained; and every civilized ma
tion is anxious to learn the truth.
The only wise course for every truly
patriotic American is to reserve judgment
---sa
until facts are known on which to base IT.
1t is the fool. not the intelligent man, who
decides without evidence and paws the
air in an effort to bring war because OF
his opinion, based only upon prejudice.
Hold hard. and support the dignity and
honor of the United States government.
1t is facing a grave crisis, and is entitled |

careful attention before fixing upon some specific plan. The pulse Of the community would, of course, indicate whether or not the support of the bus mess interest of San Francisco could be relief upon not only to assist in promoting the exposition, but to see that it is made a success.
 From my experience with the Mid winter Fair I know that great amount of real, hard work will be ne cessary. It will require a great deal of time on the part of men of ability and persistence to secure the money with which to open the exposition.
 The head of the exposition must be a man of pronounced firmness and great executive ability. In such a position 1t requires both brains and stamina. Such man must be found.
 Personally I would be more than pleased to see these proposed plans car ried out, and I will not be backward in assisting to the best of my ability, but not as a member of the committee having the affair in charge. I believe that 1t would be we'll to have a new element represented in the manage ment.
 I hope the holding of an exposition will be the means of uniting all inter- ests, those of the newspapers as well as of business men. If this can be accomplished we can have a celebra- tion worthy of the occasion. It would indeed be the dawning of an era of prosperity.

Question Carried From Tulare County to the
 Supreme Court.
T. V. Gator Attacks It's COnSti- tutionality, but Is
 Defeated.
F. s. Stratton, Who Framed the Law, Appears in It's Defense and
 Argues Forcibly.

The case of Charles A. Spier vs. Rob- ert Baker ct al. was submitted in the Supreme Court yesterday, and its de- cisicn will settle the fate of the new primary law passed in the Legislature last year.
 T. V. Gator appeared for the appel lant and F. S. Stratton, father of the law. appeared as amicus curiae.
 The act, Mr. Gator said aside from being in conflict with several provi- sions of the constitution, was an ex- tensive burden upon the people, and was also a law we'll devised to assist political trickery to disfranchise vot- CTS and promote political despotism:
 The provision that in 1898 and every four years thereafter there shall be a general primary election for the selec- tion of delegates to the State and dis trict conventions to nominate candi- dates to be voted for at the next gen. eral election was taken up, and MT. Gator said that as such a convention could only be held once in four years, and in the intermediate Presidential years, the State conventions could only nominate Congressmen and district nominees. There was no method of nominating a Justice of the Supreme Court or any State officer in Presiden- tial years.
 The question of compelling election officers to serve without remuneration, he claimed. was depriving a man of his property without due process of law, as a mans time was equal to his prop erty This error he dwelt on at con- siderable length. He wound up by de- claring that it was not in the power of the State to donate public moneys to provide ways to help persons to nomi- nation to office.
 Attorney Stratton, for the constitu- tionality of the act. met every argu- ment advanced by MT. Gator, and after dealing with the general scope of the law as provided in the act, he took up MT. Gators constitutional points seri- atim and argued them at length. As to the point which has caused more public criticism than any other, perhaps, namely, that the labelling of the boxes destroys the secrecy of the ballot, Mr. Stratton declares that the act of vot- ing at a Republican or Democratic box no more stamps man as a Republican or Democrat than the act of voting at a Republican or Democratic primary on separate days. In either case the voter indicates his politics. and the new law no more violates the secrecy of the ball. lot than the old.

Is four acts too many for me. Of all the pleas that dramatists have made for the lady with the stained past, Shall We Forgive Herr" is the worst that I can put on record. It has not even the merit of unconscious humor It is an endless orgie of tears ana moanss aggravated by spasns ol funereal comic relief"

But the villain still pursues her, exacts hush money, and the transaction Is over heard by hubby's housekeeper, who gives the whole thing away. AS a climax the husband goes indignantly blind. And this results in another act in which the fearful heroine resorts to literature as a means of secretly sus- taining blind pepper and their child. And then-forgiveness and melancholy felicity.
 The acting calls for no comment. With the exception of Henry Napier, who contrives to secure several mo- ments of numanness in the part of the young engineer, the company deserves the piece Miss Wainwright has seen better days, but there was nothing to suggest the fact in her monotonous work of last night.

 Upon the conclusion of the celebra- tion I would suggest that a book be compiled giving a history of the prog ress of California. It would be a good idea to have each county compile such matter about it's county as will be specially applicable to the interests represented therein, the book to con- tain no individual or corporate adver- Using.
 The idea of the book Is to furnish reliable data regarding the resources and industries of the State and to put the same in such form that the attrac- tions of each county could easily be referred to- It should be a we'll bound volume which would be preserved for years to come and be placed in every public library in the world.

WILL RECEIVE
 AMPLE SUPPORT
A Large Exposition Would Draw Visitors From All Parts of
 the World.
AN EXPOSITION FOR 1900.
Merced Evening Sun.


 The San Francisco Call has taken up the matter of holding a semi nial exposition in San Francisco in 1900, to commemorate the admission of California into the Union. It is to be on the style of the Midwinter Fair, but more extensive. This proposition should and no doubt will receive sup port from every section of the State. Several little one-horse celebrations have been held in San Francisco during the past few years, all designed to draw suckers in from the country to boom business in the city for a few days.
 But the proposition of holding a fair or exposition in 1900 on such a large scale as would attract people from all over the United States will be looked upon with favor by the country people of California. While the Mid winter Fair was a great thing for San Francisco, it was also a great thing for the whole State, and brought many thousands of Fasteners to the Pacific Coast. Something of the same sort in 1900 would be the means of brining many people and much capital to the State permanently and every section of the State would be benefited.
