Each of our wars has developed its own
leaders and popular heroes. The revolution
airy war made Washington the father of
his country, the war of 1872 made a popu-
lar hero of Jackson The Mexican war of
General Zachary Taylor. and the civil war
Of Grant and others. Some of the men who
were most conspicuous at the beginning of
the war dropped out of sight as time passed,
and SONS who were almost unknown at the
esginning became recognized leaders before
1t ended. OF the latter class General Grant
was the most notable instance In a private
letter dated camp before vicksburg, Feb.
Is, 1863. General Sherman said:
The soldier who, by close observation, by
experience and by real courage, has gained
a reputation among his felow-soldierS will
be called out to lead, regardless of the mere
rank conferred for political reasons or news
paper fame. The man who is to lead our
country out Of anarchy and chaos may be,
IS Napoleon, a captain still.
The coming man was then in command
before Vicksburg. but General Sherman did
net recognize him. If the present war should
last long 1t would probably develop a new
popular hero. 1t has already developed

Denmark having declined to permit us to

NEITHER DUNCAN NOR JAMES
Two of the Frazer Family Who
Deny Having Died.

1t looks as If the Frazer family are
not going to allow the newspapers to
kill them off.
Some weeks ago contemporary an
nounced that Duncan Frazer, a popu-
lar member of the Caledonian frater-
nifty, had "croaked' while on a visit to
Scotland. Duncan Frazer. who was
here in Sacramento, heard of the pub
lished announcement and vigorously de-
MED having either visited Scotland or
died.
The error was duly corrected, accom-
panied by the explanation that there
was a misjoinedr of parties. as the law
yers would say and that it was j. c.
Frazer, who went to Scotland, contract
ed lung complaint and there gave up
the ghost
The friends of j. c. Frazer here had
not yet left off their badges of mourn
ing for their light-footed brother when
along comes a letter from the land o.
cakes and other hot stuff to Dave Reid
signed by j. c. Frazer himself, in which
the latter declares that if he is dead he
hasn't Yet found it out, and he doesn't
think he belongs to that class of fossils
who are dead but don't know it.
The newspaper campaign against the
Frazer family bids fair to end in about
the same way as that which certain
yellow journals recently inaugurated
against Spain.

A DISGRACE TO HER SEX.
Ann Elliott, the Procuress, is to
Have Another Trial.

Ann Elliott. the old woman who was
convicted here a year or so ago on a
charge Of leading little girl astray, but
who was recently given a new trial by
the Supreme Court, was brought up
from San Quentin last evening by Dep
uty Sheriff Hinters and lodged in the
County Jail
AS heretofore stated in the Record
Union,' the Supreme Court reversed
the judgment and ordered a new trial.
on the ground that the Superior Court
erred in admitting testimony going to
show that Mrs Elliott had made g.
practice oe luring little girls to ruin for
the money she might make by her un-
holy traffic. The court holds that no
testimony was admissible that did not
relate to the case of the prosecuting
witness.
Such being the case, there is danger
that the old hag may escape the pun
ishment she deserves. as the only tes-
fimony that can be used against her is
that of the child herself. While, the de-
fense can produce preponderance Of
evidence on the other side.

be possible TO convict Mrs Elliott. but
