MILES REMAINS FOR HAVANA


NEW YORK, July LA special to the
Times from Washington says: The
Puerto Rican expedition is the next
number ON the war program, after the

twenty-seven regiments Of volunteers,
ready to move to Tampa within a
week or ten days. From there they
will bs sent to Santiago, preparatory to
. movement on San Juan, which will
be made from southeastern Cuba as tho
base. fs.
If by the time General Brooke's force
arrives at Santiago, General Shafter
has not succeeded in taking that town,
as many men as may be needed will
bs landed to reinforce him. Ii, how
ever, as is more likely, Shafter shall
have practically IL not actually CONS

the plan is to land portion only of the
volunteers to help form an army of
occupation for the province of San
tiago, take on board the bulk of the

mand, and proceed to Puerto Rico.
With General Merritt in the Philip

pedition against Havana, when. the
time comes for final movement to

RECOMMENDED FOR QUARTER.
MASTER

Mr.. John c. Maccabe of this city has
leading business and professional men of
Los Angeles, for appointment as regi-
mental quartermaster, California volun-
teers.
Mr.. Maccabe is a veteran of the civil
war, and has had large experience of the
equipment and requirements of soldiers
in camp and in the field. In letter to
Governor Budd, Judge J. A. Anderson
speaks in high terms of the capacity of
Mr.. Maccabe for the position he seeks.
Referring to the yellow fever epidemics
in Memphis, Tenn, in 1873 and 1879, dur
ing which Mr.. Maccabe acted as quarter
master of the Citizens relief commit
tee," Judge Anderson says
l was citizen of Memphis during those
trying times and had personal knowledge
of the efficient and able manner in which
Captain Maccabe discharged the arduous
duty of his office as quartermaster. The
position, particularly during the terrible
year of 1878, was one much more arduous
and difficult to fill than that of any resi
>.
handling and distribution of vast supplies
of money and material contributed by a
sympathizing world to the sufferers in
Memphis. So thoroughly did the citizens
of Memphis appreciate Captain Maccabes
noble, efficient and disinterested work that
they elected him to the state legislature
without his seeking the office.
| Judge Anderson concludes by saying
that should Governor Budd give Captain
Maccabe the position sought, he would
thereby do our country a good service.
Mr. Maccabe has been citizen of Los
Angeles for many years. He was, during
Judge Dupuy's administration of the Of
flee, deputy district attorney, and during
the eighties was nominated by the Democ-
racy of Los Angeles for city Judge.

SPECULAToRs TURNED DOWN

The conference report on the Indian
appropriation bill has been rejected by
the senate, mainly for the reason that
it gives to Indians the privilege of leas-
ing mineral lands within reservations.
This clause has been vigorously antagon-
lied, since it was known to have been
inserted, in, the, interest Of SPECTATORS
whose design is to swindle the Indians
in the one instance and evade the federal
mining laws on the other. Post traders
agents and contractors-about the only
class of people coming in direct contact
with the Indians upon their reservations
and enjoying privileges and opportuni-
ties denied to others-would by this clause
be given peculiar advantages in swap
ping guns, ammunition, whisky and to-
bacco for valuable privileges, under such
restrictions only as the limited intelli-
gence of the Indians might suggest. The
particular prize just now sought, how
ever, is the gisonite beds of Utah, the
wealth of which the spectators have ex-
pected to secure from the Uncompahgre
Utes for a song.

A COSTLY LUXURY

At the beginning of the calendar year
upon the application of the Santa Fe and
other transcontinental lines competing
with the Canadian Pacific railway, sus-
pended the long and short haul for six
months. 1t has now extended the time
to December 81. The suspension of this
clause is tantamount to the suspension of
the whole act, since it compartments about
the only protection which individuals and
communities have against discrimination
in rates.
The power to suspend it, vested in the
commission, has been frequently eXer-
cised, the periods gradually lengthening,
until now we have practical notification
Of the law for an entire year. There will
be nothing in the way of still further
extension for another year, or a dozen
years for that matter, at the will. of the
commissioners. Its enforcement is APP
parently wholly contingent upon the
attitude and policy of a foreign transpor-
tation line, which is, of course, not amena-
BILE to the laws of this country.
In the meantime the people are taxed
for the support of a commission of emf
nent and high priced gentlemen, the chief
benefits from whose services are enjoyed
quite exclusively by the railroads.
| Much was expected of this law, for
which the people contended dozen years
1t has utterly failed in its mission, and
should be repealed-unless, perchance,
the transportation companies are willing
| to assume the burden of maintaining it.

THE RATIONALE OF FUSION

The most casual glance at the history
of political campaigns in this country will
show that, however comprehensive the
platforms of the parties engaging in them,
the result has almost invariably turned
upon one or two of the commanding issues
upon which the people have divided. His
tory teaches US that, neither in state nor
nation, can we hope to accomplish null
tiplicity of reforms at once, and as the
outcome of a single struggle. No harm
can come from the periodical reaffirma-
ton of cardinal principles and tenets of
faith by political parties, but only the
most optimistic and impractical expect
to completely revolutionize public senti-
ment in single campaign. We ourselves
| feel that Democracy stands for about
everything that is wise and just and
desirable in this world, and we often lay
| the flattering JUNCTION to our souls that
the great principles underlying it are dis
| tinctively recognized in the government
of that world we next expect to invade
But we have ceased to look for the mil
lennium here, and have become content
to see Democratic doctrines triumph by
degrees. The party is co-existent with
the government, and it will survive the
shock of a foreign war as it did that
of civil war. and rise triumphant
from every defeat, for the principles it
represents are undying. But at this
juncture the party should be and doubt
less is disposed to subordinate it's less

public attention upon them and winning

! trenched enemy. the complete overthrow
