Economical reasons are most power

In view of all this. the principal

HE HAS NOT DONE BUOE

All the Aldermen at San Francisco who have been accused Of grating resigned yesterday and were guaran- teed by Assistant District Attorney Hensy that they would not be prose eutld. Abe Ruei, who according to a)l reports, Accumulated no less than seven hundred and disy thousand dollars iu
 illegal exsctions has been convicted, but au agreement was made with him, SO the story runs. that be would not get more than a three years sentence; the Iury in the Glass street car bribery case could not agree and they were dismissed on Mondly. Looking at everything that has so far been done by AIr. Heney. 1t certainly appears that he has nos accomplished much. Mayor Schmitz, of course, has been sentenced to i've years, but good lawyers declare that he vii never serve time under the present conviction, as the record Of the case is full of errors. Mr. Heney came to California full of glory from pOrasnl, where he had convicted the aged United States Oregon Senator, Mitchell, who died 8 few weeks later. Before that Heney killed Doctor Met son in a very questionable manner on the streets of Tucson. He has been iD California more than 8 year now and up to the present time there Is nothing visible to show that he has accomplished much. Heney loves to be in the lime light and when Attorney Delmas re gently described him as "a human bloodhound filled with the lust Of pros scu,i0n, possessed with a desire to inaic. pain, '' he came very near hitting the nail on the head.
 Mir. Heney nas been industrjously drawing 8 large 0slsry from t.e SpreckIes combination for his San Francisco prosecutions many months but whole tot Of people who lauded him st the start are afraid now that he Is now going JO make good.

 OutdeIder Otis Clymer of the Pitts burg National league team has had a short professional career as he first attracted attention with the Williams port PaD independent club In 1902.
 h 1905 Buffalo carried him as a sub sdtute aud farmed him out part of the season. His rapid development made him regular member ot the Buffalo team for 1904, from which club he was purchased by the Pittsburg club in the fall of 1904

Ball Managers Should Have Their
 Own Way,
 A baseball manager cannot hope to accomplish any results unless he is given carte blanche and is entirely freed from interference of the officials of the club. In Boston NIr. Dovey of the Nationals holds himself completely aloof from Manager Penney on all that concerns the players. IL is up to Penney, he says. The responsibility Is wholly hls. There Is no putting in there. Penney feels the responsibility and works all the harder for 1t. He has more responsibility than he had last season, for he has the say about getting players, and price Is not allow ed to stand In the way. If a player is procurable. every effort is made to land him. It must be admitted that Ten has been instrumental in making some deals that have helped the club Inn mensely.
 The only way to get a winner is to keep hustling. The most consistent winner in major league ball Is Connie Mack. He always has a troublesome club and at a cost that makes other clubs look ridiculous. If Garry Herr. mann of Cincinnati had a manager Of Nacks ability, he could easily afford to pay him $25,OOO per annum, ana Mack would earn 1t.

 msls and the chase proved au exciting one. The goats made such good time that one of them got away, however the other was overCsken and after much dangerous struggling in the water was gotten ashore. The animal put up
 great fight for it's liberty and st times it's struggles came near uPseJting the

year terms and took to themselves
only two year terms.
In view of the fact that the strong
desire among good citizens generally
is to rid the city of the "Ameri-
can" incubus, the conduct of the de-
mocrats in trying to substitute the
private petty interests of individual
office seekers for the welfare of the
people and the interests of the city
as a whole will not meet with public
favor. The republicans have sacri-
feed themselves, as republicans, have
taken the best men they could find
and made their ticket in effect a citi-
zens' ticket, good, honest, capable
government is what they want to
bring about. On the contrary the
democratic managers have shown
their smallness and pc mess, their
duplicity and thickness. For the sake
of small, very small chance of
their electing their little tin god, Dick
Morris, they are willing to give the
Americans" a splendid chance to
plumber the city for two years more.
The rank and file of the democratic
party don't approve of the action of
the campaign managers and we be-
lieve will set their seal of disappro-
val on the conduct of those managers.
