The Natter Was The Talk Of The
Town. Yesterday.
CITIZENS GENERALLY DO NOT APP
PROVE OF THE SUITS BROUGHT
AND EXPRESSIONS OF OPINIONS
WE'RE GENERAL AND CAUSTIC-
NEW CASES FILED YESTERDAY.


The publication in the morning pa
pers of yesterday Of the suits brought
and to be brought against citizens who
appear to have loaned money without
going through the Formally of appris-
ing the county assessors Of the fact,
created quite stir about town, and
during the day good many caustic
and red hot comments were made of
and concerning the gentlemen bring
ing the suits, and who were pleased
to take this particular method of
acquiring wealth. Several gentle
r'en whose names have been as
ISOLATED with the prosecutions took
occasion to square themselves" on
the matter, while the Justices wished
1t understood they knew nothing as
yet OF the merits Of the cases, but held
it to be their duty to take cognizance
of suits regularly brought, and would
decide upon the merits Of the eontro-
very after evidence had been submit
ted. Mr.. Justice Dunning, for in
stance, did not think any share of
stigma should attach to him as AN Of
ficer of the law. AS far as is known,
however, no one has blamed the JUS
tees particularly, except as to the diff
ficulty of finding cut what public Off
Gals are doing AS long as Justices
distinctly refuse to allow their dock
cts to be seen, and tell newspaper rep
resentatives just as much as suits
them, the public will be handicapped
in knowing just what it's servants in
public places are doing.
1t was understood in a general way,
yesterday, tat ten additional suits
had been brought, taken from the lists
published yesterday morning, and it
is likely that patches of a dozen or SO
will be brought every day, or as fast
as the papers can be made out and
served. Next Monday the first cases
will be heard, and they may be ex-
pected to come up daily thereafter.
1t will be seen that in something
like four or five hundred cases thus
brought, the matter of costs is going
to be a very considerable item for
the Justices and Constabies, and yome-
body will have to pay them, no matter
which way the cases go. Defendants,
as matter Of course, have the right
to demand security on the part of
plaintiff, Mr.. Bird, and it is under
stood that arrangements have been
made whereby one well-known citizen
has agreed to become Mr. Birds sure
ty in all cases where his services may
be demanded. This gentleman is not
unknown to local fame as a litigant,
and the initials of his name are per-
fectly well known.
One citizen in discussing the mat
ter yesterday, said: IF the actions,
in any form, had been brought
by the county assessors, as such, acting
within the lines Of their official du-
ties, there would have been no objec-
ton; but for private citizens to bring
the actions, apparently solely for the
purposes of personal gain, makes the
dose rather unpalatable to the parties
involved, and has provoked general
criticism among all classes Of citizens"
The matter will probably grow in
interest as it progresses.

CATHEDRAL PARISH PICNIC


The attendance at the picnic of the
Cathedral parish, at the State Fair
Grounds yesterday afternoon and last
evening. was not as large as at the
outing two years ago, but the affair
was nevertheless a complete financial
success. The different committees of
ladies and gentlemen worked energeti-
caly toward that end The crowd was
good-natured and everything passed off
pleasantly. There was no special
amusement programme, but there were
the usual side-show features, which
were literally patronized. The dane
ing platform was particularly well pat
ronized last evening. A committee of
ladies served a splendid supper in ma
chinery hall, and when the appetites of
all the patrons were satisfied, the
stock of elibles was about exhausted.

Returned Yesterday Morning His Condi-
tion is Some " hat improved

Dwight H. Wagner, son of John
Wagner, cashier of the First National
Bank, returned home yesterday at
1880 o'clock, accompanied by his
brother, Guy Wagner, who went to
New York for the purpose of securing
information concerning Dwight, and
bringing him home. Dwight Wagner
fought before Santiago with the
American army under Shafter, and es-
capped without a scratch, only to sub
s-Quently fall victim 10 the dread
malarial fever.
He suffered very much en- account
CT lack of food, and inadequate facili-
ties for caring for the sick When he
stepped from the train at the depot he
was emaciated in appearance and very
feeble. Although on the road to recov-
cry, 1t will be many days before ne
regains his strength. Very few visi-
tors were permitted to see him at his
home Oh Twelfth street.

AN EASY VICTORY
FOR REPUBLICANS
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE
State election to-day resulted In the
success of the full Republican ticket, as
follows:
Governor-Lewellyn Powers Of Houl-
ton.
ngressmen-First District, Thomas
B. Reed of Portland; Second District,
Nelson Dingley of lewiston; Third
District, Edwin c. Burleigh of Au-
gusta; Fourth District, Charles A
Boutelle of Bangor
The election was marked by compar-
alive apathy on the part of the Repub-
licans, who felt sure, while the Demo-
Gratis took more interest with a desire
to make better showing than in 1894
or 1896. and put some vim in the cam
paign, the result of which was seen in
nearly every town.
Returns from $50 cities and towns
give Powers (R) 22,613; Lord CD H.
$685. The same towns in 1894 gave
Cleveland (R.) 27,72S; Johnson Cd 49,
046.
This shows net Republican loss of
II per cent and a Democratic loss Of IL
per cent On this basis Powers will
have about 27,100 plurality.
Speaker Reeds vote shows a falling
off of nearly 1000.

vices rendered to few Of the natives,
Charley among the number. But to
offset their generosity the Government
herd at Port Clarence was moved down
to Unalaklik, where the Swedish Mis-
sion is located. This removed them
farther than ever from the native in
habitants, for whose benefit they were
supposed to have been introduced
Since Colonel (now GeneraD Ran
dolph at st. Michael had no use for
the deer last winter, it would seem that
they might just as we'll have been
turned over to the overland relief ex-
petition instead of leaving Jarvis to
depend on the generosity of natives.
The fact that the Eskimo citizens Of
the United States responded so uobly
TO the appeal of Lieutenant Jarvis, in
the cause of humanity, recommends
them strongly to the gratitude of the
rest of the country. They should be
repaid with the best reindeer that can
be obtained and in settling with them
their bravery, devotion and the priva-
tions that they and their families in
their absence suffered should weigh
heavily in the scales.

ENTERTAINED BY
COLUMBIA CLUB

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1.-THE CO.
lumbia Club entertained over 700 dele
gates of the Republican convention at
their elegant rooms tonight. Refresh
ments were served to all, and a general
good time marked the occasion. The
club is composed Of active workers in
the party, and numbers among it's
members nearly all of the prominent
Republicans of Los Angeles County.
The officers of the club are young men
of standing in the business community
who never overlook an opportunity to
further the interest Of Republicanism
The organization is a permanent one,
and has already done much to attract
to the party the young voters Of the
county. John B. Bushnell, the presi-
dent of the club, is not only an active
Republican, but ranks high in the bust
ness circles of the city. He is untiring
in his efforts for party success, and his
ability as leader is unquestioned.

So Republican Party
Is Safe.
OTIS COURSE DENOUNCED
CANDID OPINION AS TO THE
STAND OF HIS TIMES.
Republicans of Southern California
in General Condemn the
Policy of Sundays
Editorial

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1.-THE Re-
publican party is bigger than any
newspaper or corporation" said a
prominent Republican to-day when
questioned regarding the detection of
the Los Angeles Times in it's attack
upon the personnel of the Republicans
of the State Executive Campaign Com
mittee. and this is the sentiment voiced
by every Republican interviewed by
the correspondent of The Call here to-
day.
Many Of the men seen expressed
themselves against the position of the
Times In the most emphatic language,
and it is the consensus of opinion that
in so far as the local situation is con-
cerned the stand taken by the Times
will not in any way affect the result of
the election. 1t is we'll known here that
the fight against certain members of
the executive committee is purely per-
sonal and not a single person will adj
nit that the Times is making the fight
in the interest Of pure politics at this
time.
Some go so far as to denounce its
action and say that the time has come
when the people Of Los Angeles must
take firm stand and fight out the
issue to the bitter end and once and
for all time settle the question whether
the Times is or is not greater than the
Republican party.
Republicans generally complain bit
terly of the action of the paper in the
past as well as in the present cam
paign, and they are tired of the dicta-
torial tactics pursued by 1t. Even those
who have a kindly feeling for the pa
per condemn the publication of the
editorial in last Sundays issue as be-
ing injudicious and untimely and detri-
mental to the interest of the Repub-
lican ~arty throughout the State.
1t is expected that some action will
be taken by the Republican county con-
vention now in session here, although
a strong effort is being made to head
off any such public condemnation Of
the course pursued by the Times. Many
of the persons interviewed signified
their willingness to be quoted later on
as they fear that to do so at this time
might jeopardize the interest Of some
Of their friends who are candidates for
local offices, and Republicans generally
express the --ope that The Call will
take up the fight in behalf Of the party.
which they say has no local paper to
represent it's interest in the present
campaign.
