TOLAND AND BLACKSTOCK
A Comparison of Ventura's Two Can.
didates for the State Ticket

| VENTURA, Sept. 16.-Politics at present
IN Ventura is not causing much excitement,
as everything seems to be. settled In the
minds of the voters as II the results had
already been declared. It IS conceded the t
the Hon. Thomas o. Toland's victory over
| Arnold and the Southern Pacific, will be
great. Mr.. Toland is a lifelong Democrat
and one of the most highly esteemed attor-
neys in the country. He has been district
attorney of this county and served one
term in the legislature with much credit
to himself and party. He will receive an
overwhelming majority in Ventura county.
| N. Blackstock. in turn Prohibi;ionist, Pop
| ulst, Democrat and Republican, is now the
candidate for railroad commissioner on the
Republican Southern Pacific ticket, and.
according to his own statement, a very
| satisfactory one to Uncle Coils. Mr.. Black
stock has been able to secure a nomination
for a county office but once, and then was
beaten by Judge Hamer fortjustice of the
peace. In conversation with a prominent
Republican, In answer to a query If he
thought Mr.. Blacktock deserved the Re-
publican vote Of this county, he said, mo.
positively no. Although Mr.. Blackstock is
a member of my party, do not consider
him Republican in any respect; he has
only been a member of the party about
four years, and then only with the expec-
tation of securing a plum. 1t is needlessto
state he did not get 1t, nor would he ever
receive a nomination at the hands of the
Republican party in this county, as his
defeat would be certain"
Mr.. Blackstock's attitude to the working
classes, especially his views in regard to
them during the railroad strike a few years
ago, and also side remarks made by him
during an indignation meeting held here to
discuss plans to alleviate the sufferings of
Company H and for the mastering out of
the Seventh regiment have not been for

feat at Manila.

MADRID, May 3.-Senor Aguilera, the
civil governor of Madrid, has just
posted on the walls of the home office
the customary proclamation intimating
that the civil authorities consider the
circumstances justify their handing
over to the military authorities the mis-
sion of keeping order.
But General Daban, captain general
of Madrid, has assumed charge, and
the first military patrols have just ap-
peared in the Puerto del Sol. The
measure has been taken in consequence
of the attitude of certain political par
ties since yesterday.
The measure has been taken in conse-
quence of the attitude of certain politi-
cal parties since yesterday. The whole
garrison is ready in barracks.
The Madrid newspapers censure the
street demonstration made against the
cabinet in favor of General Weyler A
crowd of people gathered before Gen
eral Weyler's residence cheering for the
ex-captain general of Cuba, and an
other crowd went in front of the resi-
dence Of Minister Sagasta and hooted

The DOWNFALL OF THE CARR
The writ of ejectmcnt which is to be
served upon the German carp in jack
son Park marks the end of foreign
occupation which in the beginning
was hailed as an auspiciUus event.
The German carp came to this coun-
try twenty-five or thirty years ago
heralded as a piscatOrial wonder. lie
was hardy, he was an omnirorous
feeder, he grew rapidly, he was good
to eat. lie turned out to be nuis-
ance and humbug. He was hardy
enough, goodness knows, and hc ate
like The aquatic hog that he is. But
he proved to be a cannibal, dcvouring
his fellow fishes, he stirred up mud
and wallowed in it, and his value as n
food fish was about equal to that OF
an alligator gar. He has gradually
been put out of ponds and lakes and
now exists only in semistagnant wa
tiers where he can work no harm to
respectable fishes. His election from
the waters of Jackson Park is COM
mendable, il bclated He is as unde-
sirable immigrant and ought to have
been stopped at Castle Gardcn.-Chi-
