q Difficulty

Some rowdies VINO had attended the
coursing match at Agricultural park

in Main street car on the way home
The trouble was caused by a mans try
ing to silence drunken fellow who per-
sisted in loudly using indecent language
in the car, on which there were some
women. Several blows were exchanged
and the fight threatened to become gen.
eral, when the conductor stopped the
car and elected the belligerents. Later

Candidates appear to be a little shy
In announcing themselves to an anxious
public. The Republicans are all at sea
over the recent school board perform
ances and the part which the League
for Better City Government has played
in that scandal. They say that the
league has jeopardized the chances Of
the Republican party in the county and
defeated 1t In the city. No one will dis
pute that the league has done good work
In the school board investigation and but
for Its active part in the investigation
little would have been accomplished.
The solid six had already programmed to
cover up the tracks of its culpable men,
bers and shut off all investigation. The
solid six will be a thorn in the side OF
their party and the league may prove to
be its headsman. 1t ought to be a great
source of satisfaction to the Democrats
and to the public who are clamoring
for good men and better methods in
politics to hear the universal words of
praise Of the Democratic members Of
the board The Democratic party and
the people of this city and county need
more men like Conrey and Davis in office.

The chairman Of the executive COM
mittee of the Democratic party proposes

The presence Of Ex-Governor Altgeld
in the city has started up considerable

Altgeld is a man Of keen foresight in

visited Los Angeles with a view of inn

Whittier Reorganization-Politi-
cal Gossip

The merry contest that Is on for the
Republican gubernatorial nomination
has so confused the Los Angeles county
contingent Of Republican politicians
that they are left completely in the dusk
with no well defined idea of what the
outcome will be. 1t is known fact
that Los Angeles county has within its
borders some of the men who are largely
instrumental in making the Republican
politics Of this state. The Los Angeles
county delegation in Republican state
convention is always naughty, and is
ever looked upon by candidates for po-
sitions on the ticket, as well as their
friends, with both fear and respect. Here
is the way one of these leaders sizes up
the gubernatorial situation as it stands
today:
"You see 1t is this way. BY all the
rules of politics and political fairness
our party should this year give the nom
nation for governor to Alameda county.
In the first place 1t IL the banner Repub-
lican county Of the state. Then four
years ago we sent the nomination north.
Eight years ago 1t came south. Now,
this time. by rights. it should go to the
region around the bay.
but, you see, Alameda county IL cut
out for the reason that she has two
Mayor George c. Pardee
of Oakland and Hon. William r. Davis.
They are both fighting for the Alameda
county delegation, and no matter which
one gets it, the friends of the defeated
candidate will carry the fight into the
state convention. So this suicidal war
fare will kill Off both Davis and Pardee.
"In the north the claim is made that
Attorney General w. #. Fitzgerald is
resident of Los Angeles county. Judge
Fitzgerald's friends, on the other hand,
claim that he is not. and wish him cred
tied to San Francisco. This being the
case, the friends of other candidates say:
"'Well, II Fitzgerald is from San
Francisco, let him bring In his home
delegation, and then we will consider his
case
but this thing of bringing in the
Frisco delegation Is not going to be an
easy task, and for various reasons. One
of them Is that w. S. Barnes, the son
of General w. H. L. Barnes, and the
present district attorney of San Fran
cisco. Is candidate for the nomination.
He is young and successful man. and
has all of the prestige his father and the
old gentleman's influential associations
can give to him. Barnes. In my judy
ment, will have the major half of the
San Francisco delegation.
"The fractional fight in the Republican
party in the city makes 1t dangerous for
any aspiring politician to be with either
faction, and until you know which fac
ton is going to win 1t Is hard to say
what candidate Is going to have sup
port from San Francisco.
For these reasons do not think that
Judge Fitzgeralds prospects are over
promising. The most positive strength
he has is among personal friends in
Southern California.

1t is the intention of the American
Board to contine its labors for the

FRUITFUL FIELD IN HAWAII.
The Episcopal church has another
fruitful missionary field opening up
before it in Hawaii where a diocese
was formed by the English church as
early as 1861. This was at one time
offered to an American bishop, by the
Archbishop Of Canterbury, but was
refused, and the present incumbent,
Rt. Rev. Alfred Willis, d. D., was con-
secrated in 1872. Now that the isl
ands become American territory the
Episcopal church will push the work
there with vigor.
The American Board did not ac-
cept the invitations of the Presbyte-
rians to the conference because they

islands. which include the Carolines,
the Ladrones, the Marshall and the
Gilbert Islands.

Rabbit Luck for Fishing.

S. p. Lazarus tells of an odd expert
ence which fell to his lot some time ago
while fishing for bass in one Of the
northern lakes. while rowing the
boat across the lake." he says, 81 saw
something swimming in the water
some 200 feet away. overlook it, and
discovered a rather tired rabbit swim
ming for dear life. l reached out and
gathered 1t in out of the wet, and with
a piece of Irvine tied the rabbit % the
seat, where it sat in the sun perfectly
quiet. 1t shivered for a time, but soon
became warm and animated. I kept
it in the boat the remainder of the
afternoon while fishing. Talk about
the hind foot of a churchyard rabbit!
It isn't in it with a live, foul footed
rabbit. Bass began to bite, and in
short order l took in sixteen. When l
reached the shore the rabbit was re-
leased, when, with a wink of thanks,
he made a leap, and in an instant was
out of sight in the brush. | have told
this to quite a number Of my friends,
and it has never been doubted."-St,
