Army Officer Returns From Alaska and
Meets With Great News.
Washington, October 26.-Maior
General Miles has received tele-
gram from Lieutenant T.. S Kelly
at Vancouver barracks, Washington,
saying that he had just returned
from trip through the unexplored
region Of Alaska, as far as Tanana
river, and Is now ready for other
service.
This officer is noted scout, hav-
ing served CALAMITY with General
Miles IN most Of his Indian cam
paigns- He entered the wiIds Of
Alaska early in the spring, and knew
nothing Of the war with Spain until
his return to civilization. During
his absence he was commissioned a
captain in one of the immune reoi
ments, but owing to the fact that he
was beyond the reach OF communi
action the commission was not
issued. Now that he has returned
to the United States, however, the
original plan will be put into effect
and he will be appointed a captain
of one of the immune regiments de,
tined for service in Cuba

A Cnarnlracy Fooled .

In his address to the People
party OF Missouri, sx-Chairmar
Rozelle makes plain some Of TIT
trickery OF the republicans. Mucf
OF what ne says has already becom,
part of current history, but em
bodies truths that will bear repeti
ten.
He calls the attention OF his fellow
populists to the evident plot between
the managers of the republican ms
chine and the leaders of the faction
known as middle of the readers. The
plain intention of both sets of con
spirators was 10 invoke the legal
machinery of the courts in the
middle of the-road ticket. Their ex
pectation was that the petition for
writ of mandamus compelling
the Secretary of State to file their
ticket would be refused by the
Supreme Court This would CIV.
them al excuse for raising the hui
and cry that the democrats had uss d
their official power to deprive the
populist party of an opportunity to
vote for their candidates
The decision of the Supreme
Court ordering the middle of the
readers ticket on the official ballot
came like a bolt from the blue sky,
dumfounding the conspirators and
spelling their craftily laid plans.
Mr. Rozele declares that the
republicans had prepared a manifesto
which was to be signed and issued
by the middle-of the road leaders,
denOuncing the autocratic methods
of the democrats in attempting to
throttle their right to representation
on the official ballot, and urging
them and all memb bars of the popu-
list party to rebuke the outrage by
voting for the republican candidates.
Mr.. Rozslle urges all patriotic
in view of this exposure
Of the attempted trickery of these
political bunko- steerers, to vote for
the dem ocratic ticket in all counties
where ne fusion srrangem snts have
been agreed upop,and for the fusion
ticket in those where fusion candi-
iates have been put in nomination.
This advice, if followed, will make
assurance of the perpetuity of honest
government 10 Missouri doubly sure. |

A Daily Paper in Palestine

A daily paper in Palestine! The suges-
ton comes with something like shock,
but has been made in all seriousness by Mr..
Yehouda, q Russian gentleman, though q
Turkish subject, who lives in Jerusalem
and owns paper published twice week
in the holy city. He is now in London for
a short time, and met him few days ago.
He told me there was quite demand for
journals in his part of the world, and he
had a complete belief that the times were
ripe for daily paper. The subject most
eagerly discussed in Palestine is agricul-
ture, and the interest arises from the
growth and development of the agricul-
tural colonies. Mr.. Yehouda told me that
at some of the agricultural schools and
particularly at a large one between Jaffa
and Ramleh, agricultural matters form
the subject of weekly debates of high in
terest, in which methods ancient and mod
ern come under review-London Sketch.

STILL IN THE BALANCE

The members of the Seventh California
very prudently refrain from excessive
enthusiasm over the prospect Of going to
Manila, since so many contingencies yet
interpose between the contamination of
their patriotic desire. No order has yet
been issued for their embarkation, and
even had there been, it could be revoked
by a wink from the secretary of war,
and the boys have so often had the word
of promise broken to the hope that they
will scarcely feel safe in rejoicing until
out of sight of land.
The development of peace negotiations,
on the other hand, renders debatable the
question as to whether another expedi-
ton will be dispatched to Manila. Rapid
progress, along the lines indicated by
our Washington advices this morning
can scarcely fail to work change in
the entire program marked out for the
far east. 1t will certainly result in a
suspension Of the plans heretofore an
nounoed. The Seventh is playing in very
hard luck.

Algerian Retaliation

The noble Seventh regiment, so prompt to
respond to the call of the government, has
been so unkindly treated by being kept
from going to the front, that no sensible
person can fail to see a cowardly and con-
temptible design in the whole matter.
There is no need of detective to give the
people a cew to the authorship. We COM
mend the frankness of the Los Angeles
Herald in laying the trouble at the door Of
the secretary of war. We do not believe that
any other power would have been exer-
cised to keep them back 1t is time the
other Los Angeles papers should speak out.

The Rain Falls in Sheets in Cuba

Congressman Wadsworth of New York
who came up from Santiago with Lieu
tenant Hobson, says that no one can have
an idea of the rainfall there until he has
seen it. '"The water comes down. he said,
"as If it were being poured from buckets;
and when 1t rains the roads are mere mud
gulleys. The clay roads of Virginia we had
to contend with during the civil war were
nothing to these Cuban lines of commune
cation, and the underground is frequently
so thick one cannot see for twenty feet on
either side. Military operations under such
circumstances are naturally difficult, as
the growth is so impenetrable as to pre-
vent the formation of ordinary skirmish
lines, and the troops are forced to advance
through narrow lanes in the thickets, where
they can be easily attacked by sharp
shooters in ambush. Most of the fever
among the troops is merely malarial, and
yellow jack has not yet attacked the army
to any extent" -Washingtonl letter.

PATHS OF PEACE

A few things are certain. Spain has
asked upon what terms peace can be
obtained. The question is propounded
as directly as the circumstances will al
low. The president has had the matter
under consideration since Tuesday. He
has consulted with the members Of his
cabinet, as we'll, doubtless, as with others
and his reply will be equally direct.
If Spain shall assent to the funda-
mental exactions, commission will be
appointed to arrange the details and
draft treaty, hostilities ceasing in the
meantime.
The treaty signed by both parties, the
American senate and the Spanish cortes
will be called together to ratify or re-
ject the instrument agreed upon.
It is probable that the terms which
the president is to propose will not differ
materially from the semi-official fore
cast given in our dispatches this morn
ing, to-wit: Independence for Cuba,
cession of Porto Rico. coaling stations
in the Ladrones and Philippines.
But we shall not be kept in suspense
very long as to the details. The fact that
not a single member Of the cabinet IA
vors retaining the far eastern archi-
pelago makes 1t certain that it will not
be included in the demand upon Spain,
though it is possible that absolute ces-
sion Of the islands to the United States
would not be more humiliating than the
conditions that may be insisted upon.
But Spain will have no choice. She
must yield to our contention, whatever
she can command. And may the Lord
be merciful to her.

THE PRIMARIES

1t is none too early to warn Democrats
throughout the county that if the pri-
maries are neglected there is little hope
Of good results from the county or state
conventions. 1t should be remembered
that the delegates elected at primaries
ultimately decide upon party platforms
and policies, as we'll as determine the
character of all nominees upon the
county and state tickets. If the dele
gates are selected at primaries with care,
and by the representative members of
the party, the convention must necessa-
rily be composed Of conservative and
representative men. If the delegates, on
the other hand, are permitted to be Sc
electing delegates is to make them their
tools, then the moral character of the
convention must fall to the level of these
men. Water cannot rise higher than it's
a convention Of delegates will be better
than the men who select them.
The duty of every Democrat in this
county in this regard is so plain that
attention to it, but the fact remains that,
while this duty is plain and we'll known,
1T has been neglected by the very men
of the party to whom, and to whom
of the abuses of the primaries and the
prevention of the undesirable conse-
quences to which they lead.
The duty of these Democrats, there
the party nominated for office, and to
place the party machinery of this county
and state in thu hands of men who will
conduct the campaign in the interest OF
the party, rather than in the interest OF
men who traffic with their positions of
trust, is to begin the primary campaign
for delegates at once, and continue it
until the close of the primary polls.
This duty is not onerous; it requires
but little time; it consists first of Sc
lecting the best men in the several pre-
cints for delegates; secondly, of attend
ing, and getting neighbors to attend, the
primaries and voting, and securing theii
votes, for these men; thirdly, of being
present at the primaries during the
whole time Of voting, and, lastly, OF
thwarting the plans and defeating the
schemes of the ring delegates.
Let the Democrats of this county take
this warning: Attend the primaries, and
the rest will take care of itself.

THE WARNING FACTIONS

The Express, professed Republican
journal. says we have a good friend in
Senator Perkins, but that 1--WE need an
other in the person of a senator from
Southern California to succeed Senator
White" and it adds that 1.-The people of
Southern California, and especially the
Republicans of this section, if they have
any regard or concern for their own in
terests, will stick pin right here"
The Times, a professed Republican
journal, declares that I'VE want man
to go to Washington as the representa-
tive of this peerless state-not the rep
resentative of section, but of Califor-
nia in all it's majesty, magnitude and
glory
Such public evidence Of harmony in
Republican councils is truly inspiring,
particularly at this juncture, when the
people are casting about for Legislative
candidates who are to select a successor
to Senator White. 1t will tend to greatly
simplify the problem. The successful
men, who will, of course, be adaptable,
may bolt the caucus nominee, if he be
from the north, on the ground that the
harbor question rises above all party
Notwithstanding to the Express
or they may decline to vote for the
southern man because forsooth, he is
"a man of small talents" the represent
alive of a section, and not of California,
in all its majesty, magnitude and glory
according to the Times-in either con-
tingency sustained by the incontroverti-
BILE logic of loyal Republican journal
But it is quite within the power and
purpose of the people of this state to
select a successor to Senator White who
will guard the interests of this section,
as that faithful representative has done,
without necessarily losing sight of the
majesty, magnitude and glory" of Cali
fornia for minute. Senator White will
be succeeded by Democrat of no small
talents" and entirely competent to cope
with the elements in a Republican ad-
ministration antagonistic to the mate
rial prosperity and development of
Southern California.
