Details of the train wreck near Bar
berton, Transvaal, in which 80 British
soldiers We're killed and 43 injured,
show that after leaving Barberton the
engineer lost control of the train on the
down grade and for three miles it went
at the rate of so miles an hour. The
engine jumped the rails at a sharp
curve with five trucks filled with SOL
diers. A terrific smashup followed and
the boiler of the engine exploded. The
engineer and fireman were killed. Six
of the injured soldiers have since died.

c. K. McClatchy, editor of the
Bee. a a column of personal com
ment covering the recent democratic
state convention, speaks thus of the
platform. But the platform-oh,
that platform! 1t is longer than the
moral law. 1t puts the thirty-niue
articles of faith far in the back
ground. 1t denounces and con-
demns or approves forty-two dis
tinct and separate propositions, and
deplores the death of Mckinley. 1t
would appear that every one who
had a plank that might catch a vote
was given free permission to chuck
it in and make it part of the plat
form. 1t takes view at almost
every politico-economic question of
state, national or international
character, and in so doing it some
times runs foul of itself
Amador ledger., 1902-09-12

Fred B. LeMoin, present super
visor in township five, and candidate
for reelection, has made a faithful
officer 1t is conceded that he has
done excellent work on the roads in
his district, considering the amount
of money he has commanded. He
has devoted his entire time to the
duties of his Office, and has striven
in every way to promote the inter
eSts of his constituents. No man in
public life can please everybody;
but Fred LeMoin has served his peo-
pie honestly, and to the best of his
ability. 1t is only natural, that at
the expiration of his first term he
should seek endorsement from the
voters. The citizens of township
five cannot afford to do otherwise
than to affix their seal of approval
to the official career of their super
visor by re-electing him to the posi-
tion which he has so faithfully filled.

GET REGISTERED.

An examination of the great reg
ister shows that large number of
voters are still unregistered. Reg
istration closes on the 24th of Sept.
All who fail to register on or before
that date will lose their votes. The
registration is still hundreds of
names short of the full voting
strength of the county The falling
off is particularly noticeable in SUIT
ter Creek; not more than two thirds
of the vote polled there two years
ago is registered today. Other pre-
cincts are also short in proportion.
Now this question is vitally important t
to republicans. A list of names of
those unregistered will be forwarded
to persons in each precinct, and it
is earnestly hoped that those re-
ceiving the same will exert them
selves to get every citizen enrolled
The republican candidates will ad-
vance their own interests by direct
ing their special efforts to this end
during the few days remaining for
registration.

One of the items of expense in
connection with our local govern
ment that was unknown a few years
back is the telephone service, How
this innocent little item of 81. so per
month for each phone installed piles
up against the treasury, may be
understood when we state that for
the month of July the sum of $40
was piled up against Amador county
on. this account alone. This would
be at the rate of about $500 per year.
Perhaps July was an exceptionally
heavy month in this respect. Ger
tainly, the wires must have been
kept going at pretty lively rate to
incur such a bill. Let it be remem-
bered that the $3.50 for each phone
covers the cost of all service with
in Jackson and neighborhood, such
as Kennedy and Oneida mines, and
Jackson Gate. The extras mean
switches for points, outside of town
ship one, at 10 cents each within the
county, and higher fees for places
beyond the county limits. At 10
cents each, the telephone bill for
July represents between 300 and 400
calls, in addition to town calls. This
means an average of over 80 per
day or something like four per hour.
The expense of this service has been
a matter of discussion before the
board of supervisors. AS it is now,
we believe there are three phones in
the county buildings. 1t has been
that phone be placed in
each Office, so that the responsibility
for this growing charge may be
distributed.

Our cotemporary, the AmadOr
Record, comes out in favor of the
election of R. C. Rust for superior
judge, and c. p. Vicini for district
attorney. Its Endorsement of the
latter may perhaps be explained by
the fact that the candidate was, up
to the time of his election, a resident
of that town. If this be the reason
and we fail to see any other-we
can let it go for what it is worth.
But with the iudgeship, the situation
is different. Support in this case is
claimed to be based on efficiency and
superior fitness. Therefore, under
these circum stances, we ask our CO.
temporary to point out wherein the
present incumbent has any advan-
tage over his republican competitor.
Has not F. L. Stewart, as a public
official, met every requirement that
the most exacting could demand,
and faced every issue courageously.
We have before shown from the
records that Judge Rust, during the
pestilence of smallpox two years ago,
was absent from the county for
nearly two months; that one alb
Sence cost the taXDavers over $500
and several lost their votes in a
presidential year through failure to
get naturalized because of the alb
sence of the judge. We have asked
for an explanation of this neglect of
official duty, and none has been
forthcoming. Does this absence at
such critical and important period,
show proper appreciation of Of
fetal responsibility?

Fishing Through Street Gratine..

tishfnS ThrOuSh street Gratfngg.
In Winchester, England, it is quite
common thing to see men fishing
through the street gratings. Under the
High street there flow several streams
which ultimately discharge into the
river Itchen. noted trout stream.
These streams receive the storm and
surface water from the street by means
of the ordinary street grating. The line
is dropped through and fastened to the
end of stick small enough to go
through the crate. When the fish is
hooked. the liue and stick are dropped
through the grating. and the fisherman
rushes to the point where the stream
energies from under the street and is
there able to recover his line and land
his fish

George C. Pardee is said to be
the first native born Californian to
be honored with the nomination for
governor. His nomination satisfies
all elements of the republican party.
The labor unions have decided that
the time is inopportune to nominate
a state ticket, and have refused to
indorse either the republican or
democratic ticket, leaving their
members free to follow their own
individual preferences. Pardee,
with the heavy republican majority
in the state, will be elected beyond
a doubt.
