La carta que nos dedica en- LA Co.
respondencia ell culto escrltor senior
Llorens Torres, es sin duda una contesta-
ci6n Al articulo del BOLETIN que ana
!izando la situacion polltica actual, CO.
nentaba La carta de los seilores Llorens
Torres y Matienzo Cintron.
En- tai sentido podrlamos exclulrnos
de contestarla, puesto que el senior lo-
rens Torres ejercita un perfectisimo de-
recho all exteriorizar sus opinlones, y
como Sc We en- esta nueva eplstola suya,
trata de justifcar su actitud en- las pre-
sentes y diflciles circunstanclas.
Pero en- nuestro concepto e senor Llo-
rens, Sc ha olvidado de un dato lmportan-
tisimo, al exponer su teoria sobre la ma
nera de haccr fracasar el regimen, obll-
eando al gobierno naciOnal d tomar me-
didas extremas; mejor dicho, d lmplan-
far reformas extremas, un regimen de-
mocratico que dejara satisfechas las as
piracones del pals o un regimen Gle re-
preston que no encajase en- los metodos
cooniales modernos.
En- este dilema, planteado muy a la
icera. funda ell distinguido escritor pom
cefo la solucion de su poitica.
ST las cosas estuvieran como al senior
Llorens Sc lie antojan, tai vez seria el
procedimiento indicado por el, el mas
recomendable para lograr un rapldo
cambio de regimen.
Y es que en- medic de su aparente pc
,imismo el senor Llorens es TN gran op-
timlsta
Porque Sc ha olvdado, (y en- estas cir
clmstancias no hay que olvidarse de ma
9la) de que somos al decir de nuestros
tutores, I'm pueblo impreparado para en-
trar de leno y, de pronto en- ell ampllo
eiercicio de la administration publica y
de la sobcrania absolute.
Lone res,lelye pues, el pals negando-
sc abstinadamente, tOmar la pequena,

en- su optimismo ell seilor Llorens-y, o

Y por que? No estamos va, sino con-

The Norfolk and Western
trains were annulled Sunday and
yesterday they ran by way of
Danville, coming from there on
the Southern track, owing to the
burning of a trestle over Staun-
ton river.
The fire is supposed to have
come from the engine of the last
passenger train as there were no
freights run that day. Five
spans of the bridge were burned
before the fire was stopped and
the damage required two days of
work to repair it. The railroad
people hoped to have everything
clear by the middle Of yesterday
afternoon but all trains came
over the Southern yesterday as
they had been ordered.
A train made up here and sent
out Sunday to transfer the pas
sengers who were coming south.
The loss was considerable in time
and damages.

installed. by two hours heroic
effort extinguished the flames
and saved the walls and rooms

result of the fire and water to-
gether the remains are almost
worthless. The building was
originally constructed for a sani-
tarium at q cost Of $40, 900.

woods procurable. The loss can
not be estimated, insurance s10,-

the real death blow TO graft in San

practically ineffective in that the su-
preme court has decided that 1t is IL
legal for two or more parties to nomi-
nate the same candidates at pri-
mary election. But even so, with
party lines well nigh obllterated in
California, good citizenship will vote
for the men of the people, no matter
what party nominates them.
Nor does 1t matter much who is
nominated. The abuses OF the pres
ent system do not lie so much with

but for their masters. The men who
dominate the convention and elect
their creatures to office have the lev
erage to exact heavy toll from them
and they never fail to do so. Hence
the ease with which such officers
are made to do the bidding OF the
bosses and hence the difficulty of
convicting them with powerful inter-
ests back Of them. Elect men by di-
rect vote of the people and having the
people to answer to, they'll discharge
their duties honestly in a majority
of cases."
