THE SUPREME COURT TICKET.

n BITTERLY abusive and thoroughly vicious \ fight has been made by the tusionists ever since the opening of the campaign against the Re- publican nominees for the Supreme Court. The at tack led by the Examiner and followed in the degree of their depravty by other spokesmen of the factions of discontent has carried bitterness to the verge of malignancy, and abuse to the extent ot downright lying persisted in after repeated exposures and retu ations and after the openly expressed scorn ot the better class of Democrats themselves.
 Nothing more clearly evnces the anarchistic ten dencie of the Mcguire factions than this attack upon two Justices of the Supreme Court and indirectly upon the court itself It the courts that law IS most visibly embodied under form of govern ment, and accordingly 1t IS against courts that the growing awlessness of the demagogues most torc1by shows itself Every nascent anarchist sees in these tribunals the symbol of constituted authority, the in- violate temple where justice protects life and prop erty therefore he hates the court and IS never so vicious as when assailing and sandering the Judges who preside there.
 The Supreme Court of California holds high and honored place among the great tribunals established by the American people. Its dignity was never higher than at present its decisions were never more noted for justice, learning and equity. Among the ursts who have thus ably upheld the best traditions of the court are Justices Van Fleet and Mcfarland, who are now candidates for reelection. No man ot repute or moral responsibility speaks ot them Ill other words than those of praise and commendaton let it is against these men the Examiner has concocted its worst islanders and repeated its attacks with the most vicious iteration.
 It counts for nothing to man of anarchlstic ten dences that his islanders lies and that the people know them to be such. It does not affect him i'll any way to reute his alsehoods and to expose his mag- nancy. Anarchy is species of monomania. It IS as careless of human opinion of human life. It ap- proves of lie 1t approves of murder. 1t IS as reckless of popular 1t is of the truth itself When it has once invented lie the votaries o anarchy will go babbling 1t long liberty al- lows them to live with unwhpped backs and unsit tongues.
 Fortunately the common sense of the American people can be relied upon to the courts from any danger that may be threatened by such sanderers these Justices Van Fleet and Mcfarland will not suffer on election day from the attacks made upon them. They have shown themselves to be just and upright in maintaining law and doing equity upon the Supreme bench, and with honor the people will elect them.

 CARRYING A PARLOR RIFLES Me- C., City. It is to be presumed by the question asked In relation to the right to carry small parlor rifle farther than the Cliff House that you have reference to being on the great highway. That thor oughfare is under the Jurisdiction of the Board of Park Commissioners, and an or; dinance of that board says that 1t is un- lawful to carry a firearm or discharge the same on any street, highway or avenue under the control of the Commissioners. If YOU mean on the hills east of the Cliff House or north thereof, you will come in conflict with the city ordinance that pro- hibits the discharge of firearms within 300 wards of any street or dwelling: If you are very anxious ito practice with & small narlor rifle at seagulls," ride as far as ocean View take the road to the ocean beach. and you will find yourself outside of the limits of the city and county, and there you may practice to your hearts content. providing that you are careful not 10 interfere with the rights of others who may be on the beach.

LET THE. FLAG FLY..-

n CORRESPONDENT writes to ask fit is GUS / ! tomary to fly the flag on Thanksgiving day, and to suggest that if it is not now is a good time to begin He adds that there never has been time when so many people had flags, so that display of them would be simple matter.
 It seems to Us the idea is an excellent one. There cannot be too free showing of the national colors That they should be view Thanksgiving is appro- priate always and this year there is reason than ever for it. The nation has. reason.to be grateful The flag has been borne to victory wherever 1t has met foe. The flag is the visible sign of our unity It carries with it the thought of loyalty When it waves patriots are under its shadow. A sight of it strs the emotions. It means more to the younger generation than it meant before they had seen brave boys go forth to fight for it and had heard of the vaor with which these boys faced deadly fire.
 Every year there IS national Thanksgiving proc lamation. Sometimes 1t is perfunctory This year it has in 1t the ring of sincerity. There things for which this great people may ftngly offer words of gratitude. Armed for the of humanity the re- public went to war which victory and honor have crowned. When our troops rushed up the hills of San Juan, when before Manila they braved storm of lead, there the flag to lead them Every heart felt thrill at the presence of the stars and stripes As the colors planted above territory wrested from the enemy thrill of pride and satisfaction was felt throughout the land So in recent history, as in le gend, the flag is associated with triumph with honor achievements and love of country
 Let it wave on the day of thanksgiving We will offer up praise for the valor of our arms and the flag stands for that patriotism which Is ready to yield life and fortune when the country calls. Fling the flag to the breeze and then offer pean that it may be per Initted to wave with spot nor blemsh upon 1t the token of perfect brotherhood, the emblem for whose unsullied honor millions are ready to die

THE GOULDS MAY GET ALTON.
LIKELY TO BECOME PART OF THE MIS-
SOURI, PACIFIC SYSTEM.

CONFERENCE HERE BETWEEN GEORGE J. GOULD
AND j. j. MITCHELL OF CHICAGO. WHICH
WILL BE CONTINUED TO-DAY.
There seems to be strong probability that
the Chicago and Alton road will soon be in
corporated In the Missouri Pacific system 1t
has been common report for weeks that the
Alton was In the market, but at no time was
much weight attached TO the rumors that the
Kansas City. Pttsburg and Gulf road. which
was at first mentioned the prospective pur-
chaser would secure control OF it. subsequently
the Vanderbilts said to be negotiating for
the Alton. which would afford an extension TO
Kansas City for their Eastern lines with present
terminus in Chicago. and at Kansas City would
give connection with the Union Pacif1c's Kansas
City branch. A little later there was rather
indefinite rumor that the Atchison road was
making overtures for the Alton But none OF
the reports has had as many believers
much apparent foundation the latest one,
that the Gouds would buy the Alton. It Is
known that J. J. Mitchell, president Of the 1lli-
nos Trust and Savings Bank, OF Chicago, had
a conference yesterday in this city with George
j. Gould in regard to the Alton. and that this
conference will be resumed to-day. 1t has fire.
quently been said that the Illinois Trust and
Savings Bank held an important block Of Alton
stock on which il had offered an option: and. at
any rate, It Is known that President Mitchell
and one or two Of his relatives are large holders
OF the stock II is understood also that Presi-
dent Blackstone of the Chicago and Alton who
controls a large part of the stock or the road
has authorized Mr. Mitchell to act for the
minority stockholders in the pending negoti-
ations with Mr. Gould. The Missouri Paclnc
system comprising the Missouri Pacific. the
Texas and Pacific the ST. Louis southwestern
and the International and Great Northern roads
practically dominates the railway situation IN
the Southwest The acquisition OF the Alton
would give ii the important advantage or a dl-
rect route between St Louis, its present East
ern terminus and Chicago. 1t has been SAID
recently that the Goulds were planning TO bring
all their lines in the Missouri Pacific system
under a single management, and also tnat
George j. Gould while on his recent tour or IN
spection of his roads In the Southwest looked
into the question Of adding the Alton to that
system: and It Is not improbable that MT
Mitchels present visit to New-fork signifies
continuation Of negotia tons for the transfer or
the Alton which were begun by Mr.. Gould While
he was in the West
Officials Of the Vanderbilt lines said yesterday
that they were approached recently by persons
who wanted to ascertain what terms could be
obtained in a sale Of the Chicago and Alton
road but no actual negotiations were entered
into. because it was not believed that the per
sons who made the inquiries were authorized to
sell the road Some of the officials at the Grand
Central Station expressed doubt that there
would be any sale.

wise TO make a demonstration, owng-.to the
number Of natives who have congregated at
Aulinu so as to show that the Powers are de-
termined TO protect the white residents. The
party landed at Amtauta, and marched through
the town. headed by the German band from the
Buzzard, with the drum and fife corps from
Her Majesty's ship Porpoise. After making
display TO the natives both parties returned
TO their respective ships.
The chiefs supporting Mataafa have Informed
the Chief Justice that they have elected Mataafa
King Of Samoa. and that protest has been
lodged by certain other chiefs. who dispute
his election High Chief 'Tamasase has been
nominated for the vacant throne by the oppos-
ing forces and the matter has been referred 10
the Chief Justice for decision. Upon that de-
cison will depend the selection Of the new
King of Samoa.

IN the West Twenteth-st. police station and
asked that Fischer be taken TO a hospital and

tion.
At the hospital Mrs. Fischer was found to be
suffering from alcoholism. and she was sent 10
the alcoholic ward From the story told by her
father James Curran. contractor OF No BOB
West Fifty-frst-st., 1t appeared that Fischers
trouble was the alcoholic habit, too. His wife
had been pleading with her father 10 bring her
husband home for several weeks. When he re-
turned, about two weeks ago. the two cele-
brated their reunion with copfous libations.
