NEWLANDS' AMBITION

Fol weeks past the columns OF the
leading San Francisco papers have
been teeming with so called reports
81 the Senatorial situation in this
state. These correspondents all took
the ground that Stewart was a de-
Gated man and would hardly be heard
of on the first ballot.
For weeks the papers OF San Fran
cisco who got their news from these
callow recorders of events political
were swindling their readers by fur
nlshlng them with columns of trash
written by men who know no more
OF the situation here than people liv-
ing IN the PHILIPPINE islands.
Some Of the predictions made by
these writer's can now be placed
alongside the events which actually
t~ranspi1ed during the last few DAYS
and the absurdity Of the situation be-
comes apparrant.
There Carson Geographic column
has been a o unintellegable tumble
OF sensless rumor, asinlne prophecy,
and miscellaneous misinfornatiors
which was a fraud and swindle upon
every reader of those sheets who are
suppose to take daily papers to get
the Jews as it is.
These correspondents were not only
never Tor a moment on the inside of
the hight but as a rule they were men
who if they were told all about it by
some n thoroughly posted, wouldn't
have the sense to keep it in their
head until they reached the telegraph
Office.
We would suggest to the San Fran
cisco dailies in future to send their
correspondents institutions to cut out
the Appeal reports and send them over
the wire. They may get the news a
day late bnt they will at least have
the satisfaction of getting it correct
and their readers will not reach the
conclusion after the official result has
been given to the world that they
have been played for suckers from
start to finish.

MILES AND Mckinley

Ii is quite possible, as many think
IN Washington, that the war inves-
tig ton committee will demand the
resignation or recommend the removal
of General Miles. It is said the com
mit.ee will do SO on the ground that
when General Miles found the beef
bad he did not SO report to the gov
eminent. and that he does not work
tremendously with the administration
Tie beef incident would be a small
mater on which to disgrace the Cen
eral of the army and close a career
like that of General Miles. AS to
the fact that General Miles is not in
harmony with the administration, if
that is to be cause for removal, any
General might be removed because
he Ould not consent to be the tool of
a coterie Of politicians. Since til e
wal began the purpose of the admin
istration to Snub, humiliate, belittle
and ruin Miles has been quite evident,
and # such is to be the controlling
spirit under which the American
army must work, disaster will char
