SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1896.
A LEAP TO FAME
With great presence of mind and a
cheerful perversion of facts, one Mr.
Hartman, a representative from Mon
tana, has saved himself from dense and
veil deserved obscurity. He did this
remarkable thing by abusing the presi
dent ot tbe United States for some
thing that the president has not done.
In doing so the exhumed Mr. Hartman
demonstrated that he is in full posses
sion of tbe arts of the demagogue aud
In no way inconvenienced with the at
tributes of a statesman.
A day or two since President Cleve
land addressed an immense meeting of
Presbyterians in favor of home mis
sions—and incidentally it might be
well to remark that the gathering in
behalf of home missions instead of
foreign missions tor which so much is
said and done, is encouraging—and in
the course of hiß characteristically
able address on the importance of
maintaining home missions because of
the benetloial influences they exert in
Ihe newly settled regions of this coun
try, the president said:
**No one charged with the duties and re
sponsibilities which necessarily weigh upon
the chief executive can fail to appreciate
tbe importance of religious teachings and
Christian endeavor in the newly settled
portions of our vast domain. It is there
where hot and stubborn warfare between
the forces of good and evil ia constantly in
vited. In these days the vanguard of oc
cupation in a new settlement is never with
out its vicious element. Gambling houses
and dram shops are frequently among the
first establishments in a new community.
It must also be confessed that removal
from old homes and associations to new
and more primitive homes has a tendency
among honest aud responsible settlers to
smother scruples and breed evil iiidiffer
e<ice to Christianizing and elevating agen
cies. These conditions, if unchecked and
uncorrected, fix upon the new community
by their growth and expansion a character
and disposition which, while dangerous to
peace and order in the early stages of set
tlement, develop into badly regulated mu
nicipalities, corrupt and unsafe territories
and undesirable states."
At these utterances the hitherto
fameleS3 Mr. Hartman professes to
take mortal offense. Iv them he sees
the poisoned shaft of executive malice
directed against the west in general
and his own beloved Montana with its
peaceful mines, its gameless camps and
its sinless towns in particular. It is
true that the president no where in his
speech adverted disparagingly to any
state, territory or commuuity, or de
clared that corruption or wickedness
reigns in any state, territory or com
munity. It is immaterial what the
president said. Mr. Hartman exalted
by an inexplicable Providence to a
place in congress.knows what he msant,
and in those innocent words in whioh
the president tells of what might
happen if Christianizing aud ele
vating influences are not pres
ent in "newly settled por
tions of oar vast domain," be reads
Blander and viliflcaton for the mighty
west, the glorious we3t, where the
warm and clinging sun lingers last in
Its tour of triumph around the world.
Maddened by this startling aud origi
nal discovery he, bravely, single
tongued and alone, hurls the gauntlet
of wild woolly Montana defiance at the
preu lent who has thus dared to sug
gest that a minister of Christ might be
as useful on the sunset side of the
Mississippi as on the other, aud in a
masterly outpouring of language re
plete with pertinent references to Hon
olulu, the flag, Wall street and other
data borrowed for the occasion from
Republican and Populistic oratione.the
redoubtable congressman floors with a
resounding thud the assertions Mr.
Cleveland did not make.
Noble Hartman! Vindicated west!
SEMICENTENNIAL OF TEXAS
The wide-awake citizens of that pro
gressive Texas city, Dallaß, are getting
ready to celebrate the fiftieth anniver
sary of the birth of tbe Lone S ar
state, by holding a mammoth exposi
tion, in which the wonderful resources
and advantages of the great common
wealth will be exploited as never be
fore. The project seems to have
aroused considerable enthusiasm
throughout the state. Texas has made
considerable progress since the close
of the unfortu ate civil war, but not
nearly as much as her varied and val
uable resources made possible. The
aemi-oentennial exposition, if conduct
ed along tbe lines and on tbe scale
proposed, will certainly be instrument
al in advertising widely and effectively
the state's attractions. The movement
for the exposition was initiated recent
ly at a convention attended by be
tween 500 and 600 representative citi
zens, delegates comlug from every part
of the state. The Dallas Morning
News, one of the etrougest papers of
Texas, hae the following to say of the
enterprise:
"Dallas has made a bold, brilliant effort
to iuagurate a movement which is ex
pected to culminate in a striking and far
reaching demonstration of the inherent
force and power of tne commonwealth of
Texas. A determined effort by the live,
vigorous citizenship of Pallas in any direc
tion is well worthy of public confidence, if
one is to judge by past achievements; but
in the proposed semi-centennial exposition,
which was the subject of deliberation by
yesterday's convention, it is apparent that
all Texas is ready and anxious to co-oper
ate. Ami Dallas, sus'ained by the power
and wealth ami Intelligence of the »' ate,
can not fail. The interest and patriotism
which predominated in yesterday's proceed
ings are not to be under-rated or misunder
stood. For a long time it has been appar
ent to the wideawake citizenship of the
commonwealth that a forward movement
is necessary to place Texas upon the high
way to general and substantial prosperity;
it has b**en felt by many that development
in agriculture, commerce and industry bai
been hindered ami tampered by a profit
less and stupefying dabbling in worn out or
preposterous schemes of political adven
ture. Th© public mind has been drawn
away from matters of practical Importance
to the immature and ill-shapen theories
and vagaries of fierigling politicians and
irresponsible demagogues. This condition
of affairs could not last.'if Texas is to keep
abreast with the civilization of later years.
Men of brain and patriotism saw the situa
tion and resolved to deal with it according
to the necessities of the times. Hence yes-
convention. The clear-cut. intel
ligent action of tbe delegates shows that the
movement is an earnest one."
THE TIMES' FLUNK
The Los Angeles Times has with
drawn the $1000 deposited by it in
bank in pretended acceptance of Tub
Herald's challenge of certain state
ments made by it. These statements
were false and malicious, and imputed
bad faith to The Herald in the matter
of the Women's Thanksgiving edition.
Th<3 Times has taken down its money
rather than hare tbe issue between it
self and The Herald fairly tried. The
"method of procedure" rejected by the
Times is embraced in the following
excerpt from the stipulations tendered
that paper:
"In this controversy it is under
stood and agreed that the burden of
the proof rests with the Times,
that is, the Times is bound to pro
duce sufficient and competent evi
dence to sustain and substantiate
the allegations made by it in the
publications quoted.
"It is further agreed that the mat
ter in controversy shall be submitted
to a committee, to be selected as
stipulated in The Herald of Decem
ber Bth last, without other condi
tions than those herein specified;
and the committee shall be em
powered to dispose of the subject
finally according to its own judg
ment; and after the rendering and
publication of its decision the con
troversy shall be wholly closed and
shall not be reopened by either
party thereto.
"That the committee shall have
power to award the forfeit money to
either the Free Kindergarten asso
ciation of Los Angeles or tne News
boys' Home of the same place, or to
both charities in equal proportions.
'•That the committee shall con
sider no evidence except such as
shall be submitted on affidavit ; that
hearsay testimony shall not be ac
cepted as competent by the commit
tee ; that technical construction of
the matter in controversy shall not
be indulged in by the committee, but
that the latter shall determine ths
dispute according to t'.ie facts devel
oped by the testimony."
There is every probability that the
remnants of the fine Italian army that
entered Abyssinia with conquering in
tentions will be withdrawn and tbe
foolish attempt to subdue a tierce and
warlike people in a strange country bs
given up. The people of It;dy have,
if the scenes being enacted throughout
the kingdom mean anything, made up
their minds not to waste further blood
and treasure in the scheme of Abyssin
ian conquest. To call a halt now may
be humiliating, but it is better than
continuing an impossible task.
On the Italian people in general very
little sympathy can be spent. The
campaign against Abyssinia was one of
invasion pure and simple, just a plain
attempt at the theft of a country. The
Abyssinians are just as devoted to their
country as the Italians are to Italy, and
it is apparent that they are ready and
able to vigorously resist any attempt at
subjugation. For the thousands of
i poor devils who in tlie mistaken name
lof patriotism have been shot, speared
and crushed to death the world may
! rightly feel sorry. They were the vic
tims of the greed of princes and the
ambition of politicians.
Tub United Confederate Veterans'
executive committee did well to refuse
to denounce Commander-in-Chief
Walker for his opposition to the pro
posed reuuiou at New York of tha blu9
and the gray. A denunciation of
Walker at this time would be entirely
superfluous. He is already denounced
in the hearts of tbe truly patriotic,
broad-minded and progressive people
of the north and the south. Walker is
the slave of unreasoning bigotry and
despicable intolerance. While his
comrades of the north and bis former
adversaries of the south are healing up
the scars of conflict and fraternizing
uuder one flag as the citizens of a com
mon country, Walker fans fruitlessly
the fires of passion and tights over and
j over again the battles of sectional hate.

Senator Chandler is not lost. Tha
i quiet which hascouapiouously haunted
| his bearded lips for the last few days is
broken and his voics ushers forth loud
'iv its acclaim for war. Having tired in
I his attempts to iucile ;he tame aud
j pusillanimous British race to battle, he
has trained the guns of his wratL on
the people of Spain. He has arisen in
his sear, and proclaimed that it is tbe
duty of this government to declare

to fight to maintain that independence.

stitution the power his beeu delegate!

The enterprising aud forehanded
management of the Highlaud Insane
asylum appears to have held an inves
tigation of itself regarding ths Colter
charges, and as a result to have bad
ready a nice, ueat lot of exonerating
alii lavits to present to Governor Budd
wheu he visited the institution. This
sort of defendant, judge and jury com
bination is altogether too original to
pass. Ttie governor of California is
too good a lawyer and too shrewd a
man to lend much consideration to
suoh a raw piece of work.
It is understood that the Hoodoo ed
itor's man Friday is preparing to again

the next attempt will be accompanied
by & diagram aud explanatory notes,
so that the public can hope to disen
tangle the puzzles. Advance copies of
the forthcoming etfnrt may be had at
the Hoodoo's jtitemational scrap coun
ter.
The preaeat predicament of the
Italian government should afford an
object lesson to those American poli
ticians that are everlastingly clamor
ing for an extension of the jurisdic
tion the United States government.
Ha warden Csstle
A discussion having recently arisen with
regard lo the proprietorship of Hawarden
castle, the residence of tha "grand old
man," it may be as well to poiut out that
die estate does not belong th*" greatest of
Kuelibh statesmen, but to his grandson,
it original'y belonged to Sir Stephen
lilynne*. the elder brother of old
Mrs, Gladstone, and when he died, a
bachelor, he willed the place, not to his
sister nor to her husband, but to the
tatter's eldest son, now dead, and
through whom it has passed to his eld
est boy, a lad of 14, now at Eton*
Sir Stephen, however* stipulated that his
sister and brother-in-law should have the
occupancy of the castle and estates during
their lives. That this disposition of the
place was in nowise disagreeable to the
"Viand old man" is apparent from the
fact that he has devoted the $1,000.000
which he received in the shape of a bequest
from his parents and other relatives in
great part to the purchase of land destined
to increase the estate* which, with its
valuable collieries, clay pits, etc., now
yields an income of $80*000 a year. Not
that Mr. Gladstone has by any means
this sum at his disposal to spend. On
the contrary, during the course of his ,
public lite, he has often been in pecuniary
straiis, this. too. in spite of his fame as tlie
foremost financier of the Victoria era. In
deed, he was compelled on one occasion to
sell his library, constituting the collection
of a lifetime* on another occasion to put
Up at auction his cherished ami valuable
collection of china, while yet on a third oc
casion he had to sell his town house in

Mr. As'or's Revenge
The editorial revolution at The Fall Mall

Waldorf Astor and the editor of ths now
defunct Pall Mall Budget* Mr. Astoronoe
sent a manuscript to the editor of the Bud

in large typ , if not red ink, in the next
number of the paper. Imagine his pleas*

manuscript canto back with the curt iui
' mation that it was "returned with thanks.*'

Only One Explanation Possible
The McKinley editors open their cam
paign with the astonishing claim that wo-ti
on mills in this country are closing because
the wic ed Democrats untaxed their raw
material* The editors insist that woolen
manufactures cannot thrive unless the cost
ot wool is enhanced by a tax. They fail to
explain how it is that the woolen nulls of
every country in the world, even those hav
ing protective tariffs, manage to thrive
with free wool. Nor do they tell why our
cotton, silk, leather and hoot and shoe
manufacturers yet on so well with untaxed
raw materials. The real explanation of
the alleged phenomenon is tlie old one:

not conceal his hostility to McKinley. This
is unnatural. They should have a kind

The Valley Road
It seems as though the managers of the
I Valley railroad would make time by rut

A MOTHER WANTS HER CHILD
Papers in an Unusual Habeas Corpus
Case Filed
.Ira. Eltudlllo Trying to Coin Possession ol
Mar Pour-Year-Old Daughter-Trie
Alleged Pacts Set Forth
Attorney Moye Q. Norton filed the napers
in a rather unusual habeas corpus case yes-
J terday. The application was presented in
! department one before Judge Smith, who
issued a writ returnable this afternoon at 2
ocloek.
The writ is to gain possession of tho 4
year-old child of Mrs. Hattle Estudillo by
her former husband, the name of the in
fant being Etta Hornaday. When Mrs.
Esludillo was divorced from hor husband
a c placed her child with Mr and Mrs.
Wm. F. Watteraon, a wealthy English
couple, for safe keeping. Mr. and Mra.
Watt< rson became very much attached to
the child, and when tho mother, after a
year or more, took her back and went to
live with her mother, Mrs. Sheets,
at Vernon, Mr. Watteraon ami his j
wife frequently visited the house to
see her. With the mother's consent, they
frequently took the child home with them,
keeping her with them for a day or two at
a lime. Finally in April last, it is alleged
that Mr. and Mrs. Watterson took the
child, as the mother supposed for a short
visit, but in place of returning it, went
east, carrying her with them. A Bhort
time ago it is alleged that Mr. Watteraon
returned to the ci.y.and went to the child's
mother to see about her, saying that he anil
his wife were very much attached to the
ehilil, and offered the mother a monetary
consiueration to relinquish all claims to
her, and offered to adopt the child if this
was done.
Mra. Bstudillo did not wish to give up her
j child, and employed Mr. Norton to take
such steps as were necessary to regain pos-
I session of her. Application was accord
ingly mad 3 for a writ of hahc.is corpus, it
being set forth on Information ami belief
that the child was iv the city. Yes erday
afternoon Mr. Norton met Air. Watterson
at the office of .1. V. Uannon, his attorney,
where he served the papers upon him, and
I tho case will be tried today.
It was stated last evening that Mr. Wat
terson hail said that the child was with his
wife in Boston, and if this is the case it will
come out in the proceedings today,

WAS ASPHYXIATED BY GAS
Isaac B. Ferguson Found Unconscious
Last Night in Bed
Taken from the Somerset House to the
County Hospital—He Is Now on the
Road to Recovery
About 5:30 yesterday morning Isaac B.
Ferguson, an old pioneer, was found as
phyxiated by gas in his room at the Somer
set house on Fifth street, between Los
Angeles and Wall streets. At the hour
stated a lodger named Logan, whose room
adjoins that of Ferguson, detected the
cdor of gas, which became so strong as to
sicken him. He notilled the proprietor
and it was found that the odor emanated
from the old man's room. Ihe door was
locked, and no answer returned to
repeated knocks a window which opens
onto the inner hallway was forced.
Tlie outward rush of gas almost over
powered the rescuers, but when the air
had been a little purified ihey entered.
L>inn in bed in his night clothes was the
unconscious form of Ferguson, while from
an open gas jet poured tiie stream whicli
had so nearly suffocated him. Doors and
windows were opened an I the pure air
flowed freely in, and messengers were at
once dispatched to notify his relatives and
to secure medical attendance.
Tlie son-in-law of the old man is Charles
Eaton, who is furnishing a saloon at Fifth
and Spring streets. Mr. Etton at once
diapaiohed Or. Khurts to the scene, and
every tiling possible was dona to resuscitate
the sufferer.
After relieving the immediate exigencies
of the case, Vei'itiison was removed to the
county hospital, where he at present is.
OwitiK to his advanced age, 74 years, a
fatal result was at first feared, but his
strong constitution will pull him through,
and he was last night pronounced out of
danger. Ferguson is a well-known char
acter, having been engaged in the mer
chandising and freighting business years
ago, before railroads were known in the
state. He came to this city some thr c
montlia ago from San Francisco, win re 1 c
Lai been visiting his son-in-law.
During the time he has been at the Som
erset lie has seemed to ho cheerful and '
happy, and the idea of suicide is scouted
as improbable by his acquaintances. He
was not overburdened with cash and has
been looking for work, but up to date had
not been able to secure it. Ferguson is an
abstemious man, uses neither tobacco nor
liquor, and tho only explanation for ttie
affair is ttiat, on retiring, he neglected to
close the stop-cock perfectly, and thus was
unconsciously brought to the verge of
death.
A Drunken Exoressman
Lying dead drunk in the bottom of Ida

night.
