METHODS OF A MORAL PARTY

A delegation pledged to the support
of Henry T. Gage for governor will be
sent from Los Angeles county to the
Republican state convention. There will
be no division in it. It has been al
ready practically chosen. There may be
a sprinkling of delegates whose sympa-
thies are not with the movement-lest
it's success may menace the chances of
Southern California for the senatorial
succession-but this limited influence
will be negatived by the adoption of
the unit rule.
1t is true that the primaries have not
yet been held, but that fact is more ap-
parent than real. The time -honored Gus
tom of holding primaries will be OBJ
served-only, for greater convenience of
manipulation, the precinct plan will be
substituted for the assembly district
plan, so long adhered to and so uni
versally satisfactory. But it matters
little to the Republican voters which
form is used upon this occasion, since
the outcome has been shrewdly calcu-
lated by the push within the party, and
all possibilities of a miscarriage dis
counted The assembly districts have
been so divided by the central commit
tee as to leave the result at all doubt
full in but a few, and in these such
conditions have been raised up as to
insure light, as we'll as a one-sided,
vote. The established precinct lines
have in many cases been dissipated.
and the new precincts so gerrymandered
that electors will in some instances have
to travel fifteen miles, and in others
thirty miles, to cast their votes Noun
tain ranges split some of the precincts
In twain. and it will be a physical I'M
possibility for some of the delegates to
reach the polling places and return home
the same day. They will be put to the
expense, not only of railroad fares. but
of hotel accommodations as well, and
must give up two days for the discharge
of a duty that should not consume more
than a. few hours at most.
Under such circumstances, it need not
> be said, the unbought and uninfiuenced
veter will be discouraged from exercis-

Worlds Oldest Newspaper

The Oldest newspaper in the world is the
TsingPao, or Picking News, founded In the
year 10 A. d. Until quite recently it was
supposed that the Kin-Pan. a Chinese jour-
nal published in Picking for the last 1000
years, was the oldest newspaper in the
world In a very able work recently pub
lished, however, Imbault Huart the French
consul at Canton, shows that this high
honor belongs to the Tsing-Pao which has
been published continuously since the year
10, and is even said to have been founded
some 200 years before that date, or early
in the sixth century, 800 years before a
newspaper was known in Europe-The En-

There were forty four more boys than
girls born in Los Angeles last month
Clerk Reed attributes it to the approach
ing election, but we are rather inclined
to regard it as in the nature of a mill
tary necessity. Rev. Myron Reed of
Denver holds to the theory that boys
born during a war period are influenced
by the fact, and are more ready to en-
gage in warfare when matured than are
boys born during an era of peace.

The emergency order for the removal
of General Skaters army to the United
States seems to have been fully war
ranted by the conditions existing at San
tiago. 1t does not seem as II any rea-
son exists for longer keeping the men
on the island. Peace Is almost assured.
But, should negotiations fail, an advance
on Havana before fall is not scheduled.
General Miles doubtless has all the men
he needs for the conquest of Porto Rico.
The withdrawal Of the army cannot pos
sibly revive the hopes at Spain. She
couldn't make successful resistance to
corps of invalids. Humanitarian con-
siderations alone would warrant the step
that has been decided upon.

Boston ship wrecked.

BOSTON, Mass, May 3l.-The Boston
Fruit Company received a cablegram
today announcing that their large
steamer B.lvidere, which left Jamaica
Wednesday for Boston, is ashore on
Cape Maysi, at the eastern end of Cuba,
and is probably total wreck. The
fate Of the passengers and crew is un-
known, although it is thought they
were possibly rescued. The company
states that among the passengers was
Senior Capotc, vice president of the
Cuban republic.
BosToN, Mass, May 31.-It is
thought the Belvidere was wrecked
late Wednesday night. The captain of
the Fruit Company's steamer, Ethelred,
who sighted the Belyldere when pass
ing the cape, says the latter craft had
been abandoned and her hull was badly
damaged. The after part of the
steamer was full of water.
