A WESTERN HUGHES.

WESTERN HUGHES,
 Important as San Francisco m douhtedly Is In the industrial makeup of our great and broad land, 1t is nat ural, perhaps, that San Francisco and San Franciscans should but seldom become of vital concern with us of the east because of the distance from us But, while we have our worthy men enrolled here in the glorious fight for better citizenship, we must Pacific coast has its like heroes and hero- worship. too. Governor Hughes and many others whom we could mention without a moments hosita- ton, have done valiant work in the cause Of good civlcs, but the far west has its men like Hughes, it's citizens of inestmable worth, who are striv- ing not less nightly and steadfastly for better and more wholesome things Among them is Francis ]. Honey.
 It has been one of those curious turns of fate. which so aften occur. that has brought Mir IIeney and his work in San Francisco into the llme- light nationally--a pistol shot the work of cowardly man, with whose interests this courageous reformer had interfered. Strange as 1t may seem, MT. Heney will now probably be able to accomplish better and greater results as the result of his being shot, because of the countrywide sympathy which he has won to himself.
 Mr. Heney Is fighter Americans love such men. In the prosecution of the "grafters, in which he has been a prime mover both in San Francisco and Portland, Mir. Heney has never flinched even when brought face to face with powerful but evil moneyed interests As result of his deter mined efforts in connection with the land fraud prosecutions he broke up ring of rich criminals which had for years been operating in oregon and Washington. AS result no less than eighteen men were lodged in prison, among them one United States sena- tor, two congressman, the president and two members of the Oregon sen ate, a receiver of the government land office, a mayor a surveyor general, and one forestry superintendent. Tho
 list shows against what odds he had to fight.
 In San Francisco his efforts have been aimed against an opposition | equally well enttenched. Not the least part of this radiated from the "ycl- low" press of the city, William Ran dolph Hearsts paper, The Examiner, has printed daily cartoons ridiculng Mr. Heney as "Beany," Threats have been freely made against his life, but still he has worked on successful ly, fearlessly. When he went to San Francisco, the city boss, Abraham Ruef, called him murderer. In the end, MT. Heney made the latter con- | fess to many crimes in which he was | implicated along with Mayor Schmitz and sixteen supervisors and other officers of public utilities corporations.
 Mr, Hency is, indeed man to be admired. We need more men like him. our contemporary. the Phila- delphia Record, has put the case well. and we heartily agree with 1t when 1t says: eve need Iieneys who win un- dertake to discourage political graft by putting the grafters in the peniten- tiary, and who will stick to the work of hunting the rascals down, in sprte of corrupted juries and hair-spltting appellate tribunals and even of assas- sins

THE STAR THEATRE.

The second week OF the engagement
of the Donald Bell Co. opened with
the comedy drama "Frenzied FL
nance" which was greeted by full
house. The play is pretty one in
which pathos and comedy are neatly
blendid. Ethel Tucker, as Mary Law
ton. sustained the character in her
usual admirable manner, while Ann
Phillips and Pearl Lee Mcdowell
were very acceptable. Victor Donald,
as James Errol, and Raymond Bell as
Andrew Burke, we're fine, and the bal
ance OF the characters throughout
were ably handled. The secosa act
showing the attic bedroom OF the
chums, in New York, and their poor
surroundings, won the audience, the
act was loudly applauded at its close.
Taken as a whole the play was a
success and will tend to increase the
