this gross violation Of the fundamental
principle of liberty and citizenship. 1t
is only six hundred and eighty-three
years ago that this vital principle was
recognized and established. and since the
signature of the Magma Charta the right
Of "habeas corpus" has been recognized
by Anglo-Saxons and the civilized world.
Nevertheless, the astounding fact re-
mains that the police department Of Los
Angeles today ignores this indispensable
crown and shield Of citizenship. The po-
lice department defends the violation OF
this essential principle by maintaining
that such arrests are made and kept
secret "to attain the ends Of justice" The
casuistry that pretends that Justice may
be reached by violation Of law Is inde-
fensible and futile. Such a defense can
only be accepted as the poorest apology
for the inadequacy or inefficiency Of the
department.
Before more serious results accrue,
the police commission will be prudent in
taking immediate steps to instruct the
department that such abuses must stop
at once and for all.

THE OCTOPUS IN POLITICS

The San Francisco Post, the official
has announced that 1t will be necessary
for that company to enter politics. The
strangeness Of this announcement is the
assumption that the railroad was ever
out Of politics. We know now, however,
what we have mistrusted for long time,
that the octopus is in politics, and may
we not honestly inquire of that COM
pany or of that organ, Where is 1t at?
1t cannot be doing politics in either
the Democratic, Peoples or Silver Re-
publican party, for it is not many days
since the Southern Pacific cohorts were
bodily thrown out of those parties to
waste their influences, no matter where.
It cannot be doing politics with Mr..
Mcguire, because he is the worst hated
Of all public men by this political railroad
corporation. Further, 1t is Mr.. Maguire's
nomination and his anti-railroad record
that has brought Mr.. Herrin and his COM
pany openly into the field.
There is only one party in this state
with which the railroad can and does
DO politics, and that is the party of Mr..
Burns in state matters and of Mr..
Hanna in national affairs. Our towns
nan, Mr.. Gage, unfortunately for his per-
ional reputation, stands at the head of
Mr.. Burns ticket. He is worthier of
aobler cause. His subsection to Mr..
Burns and to railroad influences stands

CHICKAMAUGA PARK

A gentleman of this city is in receipt
of letter from Mr.. j. P. Pemberton
formerly of the Associated Press, now
deputy register of Hamilton county
Tennessee, from which The Herald is per
mitted to make the following excerpt
laid before the public, and shows that oul
own Camp Merritt has its counterpart
elsewhere, and that the cause is the
same in both instances-viZ., Genera
war department. MI. Pemberton write:
as follows:
Today, counting from May 1st, there
have been more than 10000 soldiers at
Chickamauga Park every day. Out of
this number so far there have been 3201
deaths. The park is rotten and the gov
ernment or some one in authority should
be held accountable for criminality in
this connection. Men die and lie on the
ground and rot, eaten by maggots and
vermin. No attention is paid TO the
sick-no good water, no medicines, no
nouris hing foods. 1t Is charged that GER
tain officers instead of distributing the
luxur.es-jellies, whisky, etc.--to the
sick, use 1t themselves, getting hope
lessly full. and allowing their men to
suffer The hospitals are the gateway
to the national cemetery. If Jesus
Christ were on earth today and saw the
condition of affairs at this park, he
would drop running the money changers
out of the temple and get to work on our
much-vaunted civilized administrator
Alger is partly to blame. but it is more
in the fact of incompetent officers than
anything else.
No arrangements were originally
made for the distribution or disposition
of garbage from 10000 or 10000 horses
and $4,000 to 10000 men. All this offal
was piled on the ground or sunk in shall
low pits subject to the rainy season
and the hot sun. Result, typhoid fever
is an epidemic, and it is on the increase.
Oh, it's rotten to the core, and no one
seems responsible for 1t all. Each
places the blame on the other, and the
result is the poor devils die, rot. and
are scraped up and hauled away to
be buried. The park in itself. as you
know is healthy, the water is pure, but
when this enormous number of men and
stock are huddlad together without any
sanitary arrangements, we'll there are
not enough words in the English lam
guage to express it-just simple hell on
earth. J. p. PEMBERTON.

TROUBLES OF COAL BARoNs

A movement that may prove to be Of
far-reaching consequence is said to have
been started by the coal corporations of
Pennsylvania. The object is to get rid
Of troublesome class Of miners, notably
Hungarians, Poles, Slavs and Italians
These foreigners. It Is asserted, have
latterly become so disorderly and defiant
that the mine owners are determined
to weed them out.
This dilemma Of the coal corpora
tions Is an interesting example Of
righteous retribution. They are reap
ing just the harvest they deserve as a
result Of their own cupidity. 1t is not
many years since the influx Of these
undesirable foreigners began, and they
would not be worrying the coal barons
now II they had not been enticed to
America by the men who are so anxious
for them to leave.
Several years ago, when the Pennsyl-
vania mine owners found 1t impossible
to further reduce the wages of their
opera tives, the thought occurred Of i'm
porting cheap labor from Italy and
Austro- Hungary. They found that they
could get labor. such as it was, at rates
far below what they were paying their
old miners-Americans, Welsh, Irish.
Germans, Swedes, etc. The reduced
wages offered to the new stock of for
eigners seemed very tempting to them.
They were far above prices obtainable
In their own countries.
W The consequence was that a little rivu-
let of this foreign labor first found its
way to the coal mines. Then 1t broad
ened and deepened until a whole flood Of
the very worst elements Of Europe's pop
ulation poured into the country and en-
quilted the labor market. The class of
men who had long worked the coal mines
was forced out'by the competition ofthis
horde of cheap labor, and 1t quickly in
vaded other industries.
Having warmed serpent the Pennsyl-
vania coal barons are anxious to be rid
Of its presence. 1t is intimated that they
will pursue their purpose gradually, but
they are determined to accomplish it. In
other states coal corporations make the
same complaint, and the movement may
become general throughout the whole
coal industry. The Pennsylvania mine
'owners say that while they may have
to pay slightly higher wages they will
in the end save by It,"
So the essence Of the dilemma of the
coal companies Is simply whether it is
cheaper, In the long run, to hire European
riff raft labor, with its disagreeable con-
decent wages.

THE, JUNTA ALARMED

A few men who have had the Repub-
lican party in their keeping have be.
come alarmed at the political effect upon
the country Of the appalling mismanage.
ment Of the war department, and 1t Is re-
ported that they are taking the matter
into their own hands for the purpose
of relieving the administration from
odium.
We have supposed that the indignation
Of the country so generally and en-
phatically expressed would have beer
sufficient to induce the president to dis
miss the secretary Of war months ago
without the interposition Of the junta
1t seems, however, to be necessary tc
the taking of that step to have public
sentiment reinforced by the demand ol
party managers.
So far as we have light, the junta
seems not to be moved to action on ac-
count of the enormous mismanagement
of the war department, but from feai
that Alger's conduct will imperil party
success. The question now is, Can the
president be screwed up to the sticking
point? 1t appears that Alger has some
mysterious hold on him, and it cannot
be personal attraction, political wisdom
or meritorious public service.
The people have been disposed to be
generous toward the president, notwith-
standing he has delayed indefensibly tc
retire Alger to the shades of his Michi-
gan and California forests, but patience
will at some time cease to be virtue
We are generous enough to concede that
all which has been said in regard to the
incompetency and negligence of the sec
retary of war Is probably not true. II
there has been no exaggeration no pun
ishment is adequate to his offenses. Nc
one can doubt that quite enough has
been done or omitted to justify all the
punishment in the power of the president
to administer.
A brave and patriotic army has been
exposed to suffering and death in un-
healthy camps, and so numerous have
been such camps as to almost justify a
suspicion that there has been something
worse than negligence in their selection
Failure to supply the troops with food
clothing. medicine and other things es-
sental to health and efficiency, Is in
dubitable proof of gross incompetency
at least. The movements of the army
have not been intelligently directed, and
there is evidence showing that personal
prejudice and political contributions
have influenced the action of the de-
partment.
1t is to be hoped that frauds and cor
ruption in contracts and otherwise have
not been superadded to incompetency
and negligence. We almost fear that
something of that kind will be discovered
to further tarnish the good name Of the
republic

BLOODY WORK IN COLORADO

The report from Colorado Springs of
a bloody affray which took place there
early yesterday morning must awaken
regret and apprehension throughout the
country. When partisan bitterness be-
comes so intense that it leads to the
rading and capture Of hall in which
citizens are assembled for the purpose
of holding a political convention, and
lives are sacrificed thereby, there is a
strong suggestion that we are drifting
away from American fair play and into
the revolutionary ways of South America
AS the story is told by the dispatches,
the lawless gang known as the Wolcott
faction, which represents the admins
tration Republicans, is entirely at fault.
And, by a strange faulty, this lawless
gang was largely made up of officers of
the law, a sheriff and chief of police
being among the leaders.
The object of the raid seems to have
been to prevent a fusion of the Silver
Republican, Democratic and Populist
parties. We mistake the spirit Of Colo
rado voters if this high-handed act does
not make the proposed coalition a fore
gone conclusion. 1t will also react power
fully against the Hanna-Wolcott influ-
ence, which has already been exercised
to coerce the Republicans Of Colorado
into dropping the free-silver plank from
their platform. A few such exhibitions
of Hannaism gone mad will swing the
entire country into line in support
of anti-administration tickets. There
is one thing the American people will not
tolerate, and that is bulldozing in poll
tics.
