SPECULATIVE SENATORS.
The history of recent operations by
the sugar trust is interesting. It affords
an insight into the new methods by
which legislators are bribed and the
strictly legal manner in which crimes
are committed that would send the ordi
nary criminal to the penitentiary for
terms only limited by the penalties for
embracery, extortion or corruption of
the usual eort defined by the statutes.
Not long before the assembling of
congress a few senators met in the oity
of New York. Any one could form his
own conjecture ac to tho meaning of the
conference. Somebody did form the
conjecture that the object was to reach
an agreement as to the "pop-gun" tariff
bills, '-chiding the bills to deprive the
sugar trußt of its specidj protection of
nne-s ; .;tith of a cent per pound.
senators took no pains to say that the
conjecture was erroneous. Indeed, they
did not eoem to be unwilling to bave
people think that at last ttiey were pre
pared to withdraw thoir support from
the eugur trued.
Not long after that Mr. Havemeyer
announced that the principal truat re
niitiries would he cloaed for an indefinite
period, Tney had been operated at a
loss under the new law, he said. That
was why it waa necessary to throw 25,
--000 persona out of work. This move
looked very much like an attempt to
bear Bugar stock, or to frighten congresß
out oi passing the pending sugar hill,
or both.
Immediately up roae Senator Smith
of New Jersey, and in v burst nf right
eous indignation threatened to push
the sugar bill if tbe truat did not re
open its reiiueriea. And a lending New
York commercial newepapor innocently
assumed thut the senator meant just
what he eaid, and expressed the opinion
that tiie managers o! the trust had
"growu alarmingly reckless."
But tli3 senator's threat ao operated,
with tho rumor about the New York
senatorial conference and with Mr.
Hevemeyer's announcement that the
refiner.es would bo closed,ss to send sugar
stock away down, giving senators and
other in.iiersan excellent opportunity
to load up.
Then congress met, and tha Repub
lican senators let it be known that they
Wonld not permit any tariff legislation
whatever—no, not even anti-Bugar truat
legislation. Tbe senators who had been
threatening to punish the trust loosed
lad and dejected. But sugar alock too* !
a decided t urn for the hitter. That was ]
some consolation, ior whtio the dejected
senators couldn't puniah t*ie trust they I
could at loaot bo!i out Bt a handsome
profit, That is to cay, they could if they
bad been ebrowd enough to improve
their opportunity to buy at tho right
moment.
This sort o! mr.tiouverlng dila't fool
all the people all the time and the Chi- i
oagu Herald, which bad beon watching '
the tortuous processes by which thu
truat waa approaching venal congress
men, anuounced that in ita opinion it j
did not look as though the truit rtitn
agerß find been musing enemies of !
fheir old senatorial friends. Uii the ',
other hand, it did look c.a though they
had been workiiii; tbe market very
nicely for themselves and olhera who |
were so Cortnuata us to tie inside, and
working it with the valuable nidof men
v-io aro euDposed to nave a good deal of
ptlsVer to control legislation.
There is another etory irom New Or
leans which ie more indicative of
"alarming reckloasiio;-*" on the part of
the truat m-iuagera. It is to tho effect j
that they have been using their iniiu- I
ence to the detriment ol Louisiana sugar I
interests. Tnuy have contracted with j
the wholesale doaloia in Omaha and j
other western cities to supply iliom with I
sujjar on condition that they i-andle I
only truat sugar. The Louisiana men
fear that this will plaoe their entire
product at the mercy of the truat. The
New Orleans Sugar exchange and the
Louisiana Planters' association have
been holding meetings to protest against
the alleged action of the trust and to
bring the matter before congress.
It would be good party policy for tho
Republicans in oongress to join the
anti-trust Dsmocrats in passing the
pending bill to deprive tbe trust of its
differential of I-"., cents per 100 pounds.
But they will not do it. They gave the
trust one-hall more in 1890 than the
Democrats gave it in 1804. They are
tbe frienda of the sugar trust as they are
of every other tariff-bolstered trust, and
notwithstanding all their talk about
Democratic favoritism to trusts they
will take good care not to offend the
friends from whem they get tbeir cam
paign fat.
A POLITICAL CASSIUS.
j The supreme court bas decided the
( petition of P. B. Cornwall, chairman of
j the Republican state central committee
; and all-round exemplar of holiness and
| purity in politics, for the issuance of an
i alternative writ of mandate directed to
j tbe board of election commissioners, to
I show cause why they should not be
; restrained from certifying to the c-jrrect- ■
! ness of certain contested election re*
turns from various precincts in San
| Francisco. In rendering the decision of
! the court the chief justice laid down
| the rule that if they had power to
issue a writ of mandate to accept or re
ject returns, all they could do would bo
to direct the board of election commis
sioners to do that thing at a certain
date, until which time they cjuld not |
i ssue the writ. A writ of mandate is
issued to compel any party to do a cor«
tain thing. The court conld not put
any party under a restraining order,
telling him what to do or what not to
do, pending a hearing, That does away,
therefore, with the order to the election
commissioners pending a hearing.
It will probably be contended that
these are mere technical objections to
the issuance of the writ, but what
would Mr. Cornwall have? Ha has em
barked upon an enterprise involving
nothing but technicalities, carelully
avoiding, by advice of his friend and
counselor Pan (turns, that political
philosopher who would not hesitate to
steal an office, or any other article of
similar proportions, any contingency
tbat might lead to a recount of the
votes. Mr. Cornwall is not an idiot,
whatever else he may be, and Dan
Burns has never been accused of not
knowing what be wao about when en
gaged in crooked work of this character.
It is therefore plainly apparent to these
conspirators tbat a recount would only
confirm Mr. Bndd in his position by a
largely increased majority. Tbey are
also aware that the tools of Dan Burns'
brother-in-law knew their busi
ness and did not neglect an op«
Dortunity to tally voteß for Mr.
Estee tbat rightfully belonged to
h<s opponent. It is tbeir scheme to
sacrifice these tools, if need he, by ex
posing tbeir surface frauds, d ependiDg
npon the "clemency" of Mr. Estee in
case any of tbem should land in the
atate prison through tbeir efforts to laud
Mr. Estee in the gubernatorial chair.
But tbe plans of the conspirators will
not won. ihey will not have even the
"moral support" of a partisan press.
Mr. Budd has besn honestly elected to
the office theße people are now coutest-
I ing and hs will be seated. Moreover,
Mr. Katee ought to be satiated with tbis
result. He is old enough to know a
whole lot of things. Tho sunset of life
ought to give bim a certain amount of
mystical lore, if it contribnteß nothing
more eolid in an intellectual aenße. Mr.
Eatee ought to cut loose from hia evil
associates. He ahould take time to
meditate on the fate of poor dog Tray.
Let him retire to the pgßtoral seclusion
of fledgeside and there, in the holy calm
of a Sabbath day, commune with him
self upon the causoa of his misfortunes.
It ia posßibie that when ho gets down to
business with his inner coneciouoneßs he
will be compelled to admit tbat Dan
Burnß and his partner, P. B. Cornwall,
are not the eort of company that an
honeet man should choose if he desires
to stand well in the estimation of his
fellow men.
Borne inkling oi on intent of this sort
is apparent in Mr. Eatee'e latest utter
ance. He says that be would not accept
the office of governor if the title reated
on mera technical grounds. All he asks
iB a recount in the precincta where the
brother-in-law of Dan Burnß ie accused
ot conniving at fraud. Nobody will ob
ject to thie, but Mr. Estee ought to have
political sense enough to know that even
thie concession does not entirely divest
him of the stigma attaching by reason
of hie associating with political crookß
and buuco operators.

Los Angeles people are notorionely
patient and good-humored, but things
are approaching a stage in tbe street
railway business of this city where for
bearance nut only ceases to be a
virtue, but is, as a matter of fact, rather
an encouragement to further imposi
tions. One of the companiss is now
before the city council negotiating for
an extension of some part of its fran
chise. Now would be an excellent time
to ask the management of tbe road
some questions; as, for instance, about
its pneumonia cars, ita collar-bone
breaking curves, its -Jo minute service,
its abandoned, unsightly poles, its pay
your-uiokel-and-stand-up for-a-rest di«
vision, its violation of franobise provis
sions in various directions, and other
little points in which the publio is in
terested.
THERE IS NO HURRY.
The convention of supervisors has
definitely decided not to press tbe ques
tion of state division at tbis session of
the legislature, Thie is a wise conclu
sion, and one that will commend itself
to every sensible citizen of Southern
California, To raise this issue at the
present time would only complicate
mattters that are of more immediate im
ort ance, rouse antagonisms and ani
mosities that wonld oporate to our det
riment, nud accomplish nothing of
material benefit to this section.
There is a far reaching future in
which ti discuss and perfect the propo
sition, and ample time for the building
np nf a community in this part of the
state that can demand, instead of plead
ing.
Asa matter of fact the state of Cali
fornia is alrcodv divided. In 1857 the
! line of division wne fixed, tho legislature
■ and the people voted to reoognize two
states, the boundary of which was north
of tho Tehachepi ranee including wb at
was then Unown as Buenavista county.
This action, in dne legal form, was for
warded to congress as provided by lnw
and would bave been acted npon if it
had not been for thi fear that South
California, then populated by citizsns
largely from tha southern n'atee, would
secede and become an additional menace
to the integrity of ttie union. Tbis is
tbe conditicn at the present time and if
any action wero advisable looking to a
division of tbe state, congress is
tbe arena in which thia contest
should be waged. It is more than likely
that if ttie southern part of the state
had been peopled by citizens favorable
to the preservation of the union con
gress would have taken favorable action
at the time the matter was presented,
tor by ao doing the union majority wonld
have been strengthened by two addi
tional senators.
Conservative opinion on this question
admits that bowevsr necessary for pres
ent needs a division of tbe state may be,
we are not strong enough to accomplish
that purpose, and it is argued tbat when
we are in condition tn enforce a demand
tothieend we won't want it,having power
to dictate, if necessary, to the common
wealth, l'erhaps this is the moat sen
sible,aa it is the most philosophical view
of the proposition,
WOMAN AS A POLITICAL FACTOR.
The political woman ie awaking to the
fact that ehe is not quite large enough
to fill her "new sphere." She finds by
experimenting that there are many
thing; in politics that she didn't know
when Due resilved to "emancipate her
self Irom tbe thraldom oi her environ
ment." Those of the sex who intend to
continue tbo systematic agitation for
the right to vote and talk in conven
. lions and "work at the polls" and assist
lin tbe conduct of campaigns, bave as
' cartoined that a certain amount of edu
i cation is necessary properly to maintain
the dignity of their proposed "advance
ment."
Speaking of the efforts of the women
of New York, who are striving to make
i their voices hoard "in the councils of
! the nation," Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi
announces ac one having authority to
I speak for the BitlTragiats, that the agita
tion henceforward will he mainly direct
ed to effortß for the systematic political
; education of women.
i Suffrage leagnoa, she says, as hitherto
organized, have been apt to addresß
i themselves too little to education, too
much to "campaign speeches." It is
indeed difficult to persuade average
citizens, either male or female, to study
anything for which they have no imme
diate use. When the utility becomes
; obvious, the energy and intereat are
| promptly forthcoming.
The women of Colorado organized
• over the state, clubs for the etudy both
iof politiei and of political science. The
effective assistance, which, at the last
election, the women of Colorado lent to
the work of defeating the blatherskite
candidate for governor, shows an excel
lent practical result cf ench studies.
In New York city curiocs object les
sons upon "women in politics" havo
been offered by the organization of
groups of wotnoii —many of whom had
pronounced themselves "anti - suffro-j
gists"—to aid in the work of a reform i
election, under tho leadership of men who
hud previously opposed, with consider
able emphasis, the mixture oi women in
politics. Women who had beeu told
tbat they should not vote were now !
urged to instruct men how to vote, or, |
at ail events, to stand hy them and see !
tiiat they did their duty in voting. No I
more theoretically incongruous, but prp.c- |
tically admirable situation could havo 1
been devised than this, which followed
so promptly upon the defeat of the
claim by women to be allowed to exer
cise the rights uf citizenehip. It was a
complete give away-—aud tho moat elab
orate explanations can make nothing {
else out of it.
TiiK Southern Pm-ilic "Rave itself
avrtT in gruat shape," when it offered
the "privileges" of its railroad to the
visiting supervisors for a trip to Santa
Moßica and "other ooints." If, instead
oi "other points." the agents of the
company bad motioned San Pedro it
wonld not have been ao palpably an
effort to lure tba supervisors into
plsasant contemplation of an open road
stead that the corporation hopes to in
duce the government to convert into a
harbor for tbe benefit and emolument
of tbe Southern Paoific oompany.
The course of ttie Spilman Suburban
Water company, wbich filed its articles
lof incorporation yesterday, will be
watched with intereat. Mr. Spilman,
as far as known, bas no water supply on
bia land, although it ie possible that
water may be developed tbere by boring;
in that event the city ahould at once as
certain if bs is tapping the underground
now of the Loa Angelea river, and
neither time nor expense abould be
spared to ascertain tbat fact, and
prompt and vigorous measures should
immediately follow if even tbe smallest
amount of water belonging to the city is
being diverted. "The Suburban Water
company" may be another Crystal
Springs company, and both are popu
larly supposed to be very near relatives
of the Los Angeles Water company.
Division Siterintendknr Mfia and
Passenger Agent Crawley of the South
ern Pacifio offered "tbe usual courtesies"
to the convention of supervisors, who
"declined with thanks." If they had
accepted, the corporation would imme
diately have filed a chattel mortgage on
the entire outfit. The acceptance of a
railroad pass from the Southern Pacific
is regarded at Fourth nnd Townsend
streets as an acknowledgment by the
recipient that he is a vassal to the "as
sociated villainies" and thrall to C. P.
Huntington.

which is a most fascinating place, its
wn!,a hung witb pictures, sketches, and
various curios from all countries; its
ceiiing artistically draped with fish nets
and seinea, and it was tilled witb culti
vated musical people. Profusions of ex
quisite roses were on piano and stands,
and the programme of seven violin num
bers was rendered by Mr. Francieco in
bis usual musiciauly and artistic man
ner, hia sieter accompanying him. A
dreamy reverie by Vieuxtemps was the
opening number, followed by a brilliant I
concerto by De Berist. Thia, in turn,
wbb followed by two movements of a
daiuty suite by Hies, which led on to a
quiet little legende by Wieniawski. 1
Zarzijcki'a difficult concerto, tbat is full
of tecunical intricacieß, waa played in a
masterly way, and a delicioua little
berceuse and captivating waltz, both
by Muein, closed a programme
that was a liberal education in its va
riety of composition and versatile exe
cution, [n the quieter numbers Mr.
franciaco had opportunities ior showing
tiie tine tone of ins German violin and
his power of exquisite modulation, whicli j
he made the most of. In the more in
tricate numbers his execution, bowing,
tone, color and technique were those of
a very superior musician.
Among tiie guests were Mesdames J.
S. Slauson, J. A. Vosburg, Hugh Mac
neil, E K. Foster. Karl U. Miller, rCdi
win T. Karl, K. F.C. Klokke, H. T. Kee,

ART KXIIinmON AND ham:.
The collection of pictures in oil and
water colore, by Mr. Ktmer Wacbtel,
that in on exhibition in the court of the
Bryson block, has attracted a large
number of visitors thia week, it being a
moat excellent one and contains a num
ber ot Inter work. Some oils that were
painted while Mr. Wachtel was in and
about San Francisco last spring, show
the direct inllueuce of William Keith,
and urn done much in the manner of
that master of bia art. A vista up Mill
valley, witti the mountains in the dis
tance, low brush in the foreground and
a bright gloam of well-handled light in
the middle distance, make a delightful
composition that is full of atmoßphere.
Another tine canvas is called Mount
Tamalpais, and shows one Bide of tbat
noble peak bathed in sunset light, with
trees in ihe foreground and the rest ot
the picture iv dark shadow. Several
other caanvases, handled in Mr.
Wcchtel'a beet style, are there
displayed on easels, together with
v large number of hie water colors that
are freely done and yet carefully and
lovingly treated. The auction sale of
thie collection begina at 1 o'clock today,
with Mr. Uharles S. Walton wielding the
hummer.

Another good-sized audience assem

ing to listen to Chevalier de Kontßki,
assisted by Miss Jennie Ksmpton, so
prano, and Miss Marguerits Berth,

good form and played with great bril
liancy and delicacy of touch. Tne gem
of tbe evening was Miss Berth's bolo for
tbe violin, accompanied by tbe chevalier
himself. They were obliged to respond
to two encores. Miss Kempton's bril
liant voice was heard to good advantage
in two numbers. Following is the pro

MIIS. BKKBY'k CONCERT.
Rarely has Los Angeles had such a
finely selected aud well rendered pro
gramme as at Mrs. Berry's concert last
night. Tbe Appaasionata, as rendered
by Mr. Arnold Krauss, proved beyond
all question bis right to be classed as au
artiet ol the first rank. The variations
and gradationß uf toue coloring as well
as technical opportunities yielded by
the piece, has made it a favorite with
Joachim, Sarasate und other great viol*
mists. Mr. Krauss's rendition was in
execution, expression and hnisli, a de
cided noi it of art. Ho gave us un encore
Wieniuweki'a second mazourka.
Miss Merger's selections were, lias ail
her work, exquisitely and carefully ren- j
dered, especially ttie Kliucella. Sbe was
persistently encored, aud played a j
romance from Rubinstein.
Mrs. Berry's work is so well known
that any criticism would be superfluous.
Her encore, tbe Fiower Song, from
Faust, augmented delightfully the reg
ular programme. Mr. Werner's best
work was inn encore of When Through
the Meadows, from liads's Brl King.
The change from Meudelaoohu'a Song
of Autumn to Greeting was an admira
able ending to a programme of unusual
merit.
The following is the programme:
Appassionatta, Vieuxteinps — Herr Arnold
Krauss.
En Chem'.n, Augusta Holme —Mrs. Washing
ton ileiry.
Graud Aria. L'Africa.n •, Meyerbaar — Mr.
Aioya Werner.
(a) Murmuring Zephyrs, Jenscn-Nicmann; (b)
Euuccilea, MOSIOKSKI—Miss Augustine ver
ger.
Monuet. Saint-Snons—Mrs. Washington 8.-erv.
Adelaide, Beethoven—Mr. Aloys in diner,
iliuss, Meudelssoiiu — Mrs. Berry ami Mr.

AMUSEMENTS.
Los Anqki.bs Tiikatur.—The success
f Aladdin, jr., at the new Lor Angeles
theaier is emphatio and comolete.
' Tbere is iv Aladdin, jr., as there wits in
all tbe pieces given by the American
Extravaganza company, a simple desire
to recall a familiar fairy story by plac
ing it in a most pleasing setting.
A spectacle like Aladdin, jr., with its
free and easy air, is tbe perfection of
system. Such a production is a success
just in so far as its combinations are
uleasing, its pictures artistic, its sceuic
features handsome, and its action lively.
! Considered from any one. or from all of
these points of view, Aladdiu, jr., is the
best production that bas ever been eeen
in this city.
On Saturday afternoon the only mati
nee will be given. The Tale of a Won
derful Lamp, even in its original form,
ie full of interest for the younger uener
atiou as well as for the older, but in Da
vid Henderson's production it is even
more replete with incidents and fea
tures that attract the children. Kvery
where throughout the country, bo tbe
rcportß say, the matineea of the Ameri
can Kxtravairnnza company have been
crowded to the doors, and when one re
members the comical cat, the antic? of
Crambo, the Golden Ulan, or ttie resort
of the silver storks, the flying pilace
scene and the visions of fuiryland, one
cannot help feelinsr that the Saturday
matinee at the Los Angelea theater will
pee the greatest audience of children
that any theater in this town has ever
held. Already blockß of tickets are be
ing bonght and children's parties are
being formed to see the wonders of
Aladdin, jr.
Unity Church.—The sale of seats for
Blind l om, the greatest musical prodigy
of the age, commenced yesterday at the
A. W. Uerry stationery company, 12t)
South Spring Btreet. Good bonaes will
certainly greet the musical phenome
non and maeter of the piauo.
iMPEitiAC —With the strong features
given at this house thia week good busi
ness baa been the rule. The Sanaoni
displaying their feats of strength, which
are in many respecta on a par with that
of Eugene Sanaow. The many other
noveltiee are a host of vaudeville stars.
Ndxt Kunday oveniug will be brought
out for the tirst time an entire new com
pany of uaatern artiets, all of whom are
engaged for one week only.
