The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY...SEPTEMBER 29, 1898. In the history of the old Mother Colony, from its settlement to the present moment, no such onslaught upon its respectable citizens has ever been made as was done by the Plain Dealer in its issue of Saturday, denouncing in the most scurrilous and vindictive language some of the township officers and other citizens, who are so far superior to their traducer in point of moral worth and respectability that he is unworthy to unlace the latches of their shoes. How does it come that for more than 40 years our town has been slowly but gradually, growing upon a solid basis, increasing in wealth and resources year by year; recognized and cited to by our sister towns surrounding as something to take pattern from and emulate; yet a new importation from Portsmouth, O., comes here and in less than six months from the date of his arrival, he makes the wonderful discovery that everything appertaining to the town in municipal, judicial and school affairs is rotten to the core, and publishes in his vile sheet the statement that the reputation of Anaheim is the worst of any town in Southern California? This assertion of the Plain Dealer as to our status in the category of towns in Southern California emanates from the brain of one who from the date of his arrival here some six months ago to this moment has never been outside a radius of only a few miles from the center of Anaheim, and yet he considers himself competent to pass a verdict upon our fair town’s worth, and unhesitatingly and unblushingly proclaims it as the worst in all Southern California! N. F. Steadman, the City Marshal, the Board of School Trustees, W. M. McFadden, H. A. McWilliams, Richard Melrose, W. J. Fay, Joseph Helmsen, William Schwenckert and last but not least, Senator Jones, are all accused of skullduggery, lying and other crimes too numerous to mention. A short screed with reference to Mr. McWilliams borders on well, excepting those who in their insanity and spleen seek through personal spite to cast discredit upon him. He has retained from arresting these youngsters for their first offense, and has thereby relinquished his fees in many a case simply to save bringing disgrace upon their parents. The Plain Dealer must have the good of the city very much at heart when it prints the statement and sends it out broadcast that five brothels are countenanced in this city. That statement is absolutely and unqualifiedly untrue. Let the Plain Dealer point them out, and the Marshal will deal with them as the law and the ordinances of the city provide. But the Plain Dealer cannot point them out. The statement is altogether and inexcessibly untrue. The fact is that no city in Southern California is more peaceful or lawabiding than Anaheim. The vicious are restrained, in fact, much more energetically than in many another town in Southern California, and so peaceably disposed are the citizens of the community that not a single arrest for infraction of the city ordinances or any law upon the statute book has been made in some nine or ten months. The jail has not had an inmate in that time. The social evil is severely dealt with and restrained within proper bounds to the extent and limit of the law. There are no disorderly houses here; none will be countenanced. The representatives of the undesirable class are few, and they are under the constant surveillance of the officials. To say that the reputation of this city is "the worst of any town in Southern California," as the Plain Dealer untruthfully declares, is to print a calumny upon the people of the city which we think will cause them to rise as one man and resent. JUDGE MAGUIRE in his speech at Santa Ana on Saturday attempted to score a point against Henry T. Gage which was based upon bald misrepresentation. He charged Gage said in his Los Angeles speech that he (Maguire) had been derelict in his duty in falling to rise in his place in the House of Representatives at Washington, during the consideration of the Funding bill in the last session of Congress, and object to the consideration of that bill (which came up as a rider to the General Deficiency bill). Now why does Maguiire sing such eloquent song about voting for war or propriations, when the record shows he voted against the only War Revenge bill passed by the Congress? Judg Maguiere is a very able man, a very pleasant gentleman, and a foreign campaign orator, but he cannot make votes for himself by misrepresent facts. We have referred to two points in his speech, and at other time will refer to other matters contained therein in which he essay to place the Republican party bad light, stating that they were dominated by the Southern Pacific Railway company and that sort of nonsense. We shall refer to these matters further along the campaign, but for the present far as Henry Gage’s relations to Southern Pacific are concerned, refer our readers to his letter on this subject printed on the fourth page. "It is not likely to improve the stand of the city abroad, which is the worst of town in Southern California," etc. How do the citizens of Anaheim wish that kind of talk from the important editor who was to "build up the city a town of 20,000 inhabitants"? Not so vile and indecently untrue as have been written. But it is unnecessary for us to deny this silly claim. It is on a par with the Plain Dealer recent utterances about the "scarcity water," the necessity for the divide of the water district, letting the northern end of the district set itself up itself, the "loss of the walnut crop" and other ideas calculated to bring favorable comment to this section. Our people this is perfectly well understood. The two guiding spirits of paper are men who have been discussed here, and who never have had not now, and probably never have a good word for the community. And yet they have the nerve to so subscriptions and advertising and the citizens of the town which are insidiously attempting in their pusillanimous way to discredit destroy. Good and clean city government general rounding up and official cleaning in the city, being agile. There is a strong sentiment behind movement, and it has taken defiance. The city has suffered for N. F. Steadman, the City Marshal, the Board of School Trustees, W. M. McFadden, H. A. McWilliams, Richard Melrose, W. J. Fay, Joseph Helmsen, William Schwenckert and last but not least, Senator Jones, are all accused of skulldugery, lying and other crimes too numerous to mention. A short screed with reference to Mr. McWilliams borders on indecency, and if the attention of the Postoffice Inspector was called to it the publication of the vile sheet would be stopped at once, as it violates the laws and regulations of the Postoffice Department. More might be said concerning the vile and indecent publication, but the more it is read the more nauseous it becomes until the stench arising therefrom compels a cessation of its further consideration. Whom the Gods wish to destroy they first make mad. The self-evident animus in the attack in the Plain Dealer upon Marshal Steadman in its issue of Saturday, deprives the same of much of its claims to consideration, even if the facts in the case show that there is no excuse for its going out of its way to needlessly slander a faithful public official. The facts of the case are these: On Saturday, the 17th, Marshal Steadman arresting; they were under the influence of liquor, and had set upon and struck two lads much their inferior in size and age. As soon as the arrest became known, two gentlemen from Santa Ana volunteered to go upon their bail, promising to have them here for appearance before the Recorder on Monday morning. This offer of bail the Marshal accepted. He looked with disfavor upon the prospect of placing the young men in jail, there to remain during Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday night and until court opened on Monday morning. There were no blankets in the jail to provide the prisoners with, and the other accommodations were not such as to impress one with incarcerating respectable people therein, even though they might be guilty of an infraction of a city ordinance. Meals would moreover have had to be provided for them by the city, and a bill of expense would have been entailed that the wise discretion of the Marshal obviated. The men failed to appear on Monday morning, and on the Saturday following, Marshal Steadman, while at Santa Ana, set out in search of them. They were soon found, and promised to come over immediately, and on Saturday, the 24th, came to this city and appeared before Recorder Shanley and were fined $10, which they paid. The reason why they failed to appear on the Monday following their arrest, was, as stated by them, that E. P. Fowler, the principal stockholder in the Plain Dealer, had advised them not to appear at their trial—that the Marshal's judgment in his speech at Santa Ana on Saturday attempted to score a point against Henry T. Gage which was based upon bald misrepresentation. He charged that Gage had said in his Los Angeles speech that he (Maguire) had been derelict in his duty in failing to rise in his place in the House of Representatives at Washington, during the consideration of the Funding bill in the last session of Congress, and object to the consideration of that bill (which came up as a rider to the General Deficiency bill), and which was finally passed as a part of that measure. Maguire charged Gage with knowing little about Congressional procedure, and added that if he (Maguire) had risen in his seat and objected to the consideration of the bill he would have been laughed at for his pains; that 100 men rising in their seats could not stay the consideration of the General Deficiency bill. The Funding bill, Maguire continued, was a part of the General Deficiency bill, and to have objected to the consideration of any part of the bill was tantamount to objecting to the whole, carrying as it did the war appropriations, and other expenditures. "Imagine one man," he exclaimed, "standing up in his seat in Congress and by his mere objection essaying to stop the appropriations for the war and stopping the very wheels of Government!" Of course that would have been ridiculous, and the hundreds of Democrats present of Gage, must have considered latter a very foolish fellow to have made such a very stupid mistake. But we undertake to say that Judge Maguire deliberately misquoted Gage. The latter did not use the words attributed to him by Maguire, but he did say that if Maguire had risen in his seat in Congress and objected to the Funding bill being made a rider to the General Deficiency bill, then and in that case consideration of the Funding bill would have ceased; but of course consideration of the General Deficiency bill would have gone on uninterrupted; and the war appropriations and other government expenditures would have been passed and the Funding bill rider would have been defeated. That is what Gage said. Judge Maguire charged Gage with having little respect for the intelligence of his audience when he (Gage) made that statement to them; but it appears that the Judge had less respect for the intelligence of his Santa Ana audience when he attempted thus to befuddle it. Judge Maguire stated further along in his speech that he supported the war-revenue bill, and he drew an eloquent picture of how the country had been brought together by the war; how sectional lines had been obliterated by the contest, and how the war had been fought, not by Republicans, but by Democrats as well, and all that sort of thing. Maguire's picture was one of great beauty, and when he said that he had voted for the Revenue bill, seeking thereby to uphold the hands of the Republican President, he was very loudly applauded.

Let our young friend read againreferencetothemeetinginqueandlethim telluswhetherornot The men failed to appear on Monday morning, and on the Saturday following, Marshal Steadman, while at Santa Ana, set out in search of them. They were soon found, and promised to come over immediately, and on Saturday, the 24th, came to this city and appeared before Recorder Shanley and were fined $10, which they paid. The reason why they failed to appear on the Monday following their arrest, was, as stated by them, that E. P. Fowler, the principal stockholder in the Plain Dealer, had advised them not to appear at their trial—that the Marshal's procedure was without warrant of law; and that if any trouble or expense resulted from their non-appearance he would stand good for it. So anxious was this person to secure a point against the Marshal that he went out of his way to aid and abet the prisoners in their infraction of the law. As to the cause of his preposterous action, the people are left to draw their own conclusions. Perhaps, as we have said before, the charitable view to take of his case is that he is mentally incompetent and irresponsible. Marshal Steadman has never placed any one under arrest without due warrant of law, and without bringing the accused before the Justice of the Peace or Recorder. He has placed in jail young men who have come to Anaheim, and being away from the restraining influences of their parents, have become tipsy and noisy, to their reproach be it said. When these young springs have essayed to act cruelly to their horses, by whipping them and otherwise maltreating them, he has taken their animals away from them, and placed them in the stable, and placed the youngsters temporarily in jail, to sober up. After being incarcerated in the cooler for a few hours, they have been released, made to pay for the feeding of their horses, and sent home with a good fatherly lecture, being warned that on a repetition of the offense they would be severely dealt with. One such treatment is sufficient, and the jail has not had an occupant in nearly a year. That is the kind of officer our Marshal is, and in that course of procedure he has the support not only of one City Trustee or the whole Board of City Trustees but the entire population of the city as Judge Maguire stated further along in his speech that he supported the war-revenue bill, and he drew an eloquent picture of how the country had been brought together by the war; how sectional lines had been obliterated by the contest, and how the war had been fought, not by Republicans, but by Democrats as well, and all that sort of thing. Maguire’s picture was one of great beauty, and when he said that he had voted for the Revenue bill, seeking thereby to uphold the hands of the Republican President, he was very loudly applauded. We charge Judge Maguire with having voted against the War Revenue Bill of 1898. The Congressional Record shows how the gentleman voted, and he voted against the bill, instead of for it, as he eloquently claimed at Santa Ana. Many Democrats voted for the bill, but Maguire’s name is not among their number. The bill, “An act to provide ways and means to meet war expenditures, and for other purposes,” better known as the War Revenue Act of 1898, was reported to the House of Representatives from the Ways and Means Committee by Chairman Dingley on April 25th. It was taken up for consideration the next day, and discussed during Tuesday and Wednesday, April 26th and 27th, and passed. It was reported to the Senate and referred to the Committee on Finance. Senator Allison reported it back to the Senate on May 12th, with amendments. He stated that a minority of the committee dissented from the amendments inserted by a combination of Democrats and Silver Republicans, known as excise taxes upon business firms and corporations, and others relating to the bond section. The Senate adjourned until the following Monday to afford time for the printing of the bill as amended, and it was taken up for discussion on May 16th. It was debated twenty days, passed the Senate June 4th, and was reported back to the House, with a request for a conference on the various amendments. Both houses appointed conferees. The conference report passed the House on June 9th. On the first passage of the bill through the House Maguire voted against it, and the Republican camp meeting here last week. Especially “drove spirits” seems to gall the Gads which asks if a larger crowd had assembled in Orange county to try a political speech. The aggriege of people who were out to list Stephen M. White two years ago far greater, and moreover, they remained until the speaking was over. The same paper also says that prophet or son of a prophet can what camp defeat will lie—and it be in the Republican camp, either Now, is the Gazette man a propheteron of a prophet? Let our young friend read again reference to the meeting in question and let him tell us whether or not has correctly quoted us. TIM GOES TO CHINO. From the Champion.

A Bad Amendment Voters throughout the State wished much hesitation in acceptance statement that Constitutional Amendment No. 1 is thoroughly bad. Nothing more nor less than a raid the San Francisco treasury comprising in an omnibus amnesty an attempt to legalize a lot of claims. A few of these bills are est., but in proportion to them which are proposed to be leagely they are insignificant. If the persons of the amendment had been suffered to pass without notice, but the jobbers got in at theft and tacked on a proviso, legally against the city claims for stress-tracting work long ago assessed by individual property owners, and quently declared illegal by them. There is no merit nor honesty these claims, so far as the city is concerned, and they amount to some like $6,000,000. The honest claim merchandise covered by the amendment are less than $300,000. No does the proviso saddle on San cisco a tremendous body of debt; but it likewise throws down bars in the most reckless way leaves the city to become an easy for future jobbers.

EDITOR GAZETTE: The Board of Trustees of Anaheim School District have had their attention called to a most infamous attack upon them in the Plain Dealer's last issue. The article states specifically that a meeting of the Board was called for on Saturday night, the 17th inst., but that it failed to materialize, or if it did, it was held in darkness, for the Plain Dealer hunted for them high and low, but failed to find the august body mentioned by it. Why such an assertion should have been made is above average comprehension, or why a lie deliberately uttered and published can accomplish any good is wrapped in mystery. The Board of Trustees did meet on Saturday, the 17th inst., at their regular place of business, the City Hall, at the appointed hour transacted the business then attended strictly to all matters appertaining to the welfare of the district, and adjourned. If the Plain Dealer will look in the right place, he will find the School Board at the City Hall, ready to extend a cordial greeting to him at any and all of their meetings, where, instead of being in darkness, he will find enough business transactions in the full glare of the electric light to fill a column of his paper, to the edification of the people of the district. J. S. GARDINER, Trustee. Anaheim, Sept. 27, 1898. Card from Mr. Darling. EDITOR GAZETTE: The editorial columns of the Anaheim Plain Dealer have recently been composed of various accusations and insinuations in regard to some of our citizens and public officials, sandwiched, as it were, among other locals, to give a sensational flavor. To a resident of Anaheim it cuts very little ice, but an outsider might, without investigation, be led to believe that our citizens were not standard grade, and that we were harboring a lot of pirates and prostitutes for mercenary motives; that our public officials are morally and legally unsound, etc. Such expressions are misleading and not sustained by facts. It does not avail anything to cry "Fraud! Fraud!" when there is no fraud. All public records are open to the taxpayers, and the officials cannot object to investigation. I have resided in Anaheim for more than twenty years, and my business has brought me very close to the people, and I have to say that in accordance with our population and comparison with neighboring towns we have been and are today as orderly as the average, the Plain Dealer to the contrary notwithstanding.

I have resided in Anaheim for more than twenty years, and my business has brought me very close to the people, and I have to say that in accordance with our population and comparison with neighboring towns we have been and are today as orderly as the average, the Plain Dealer to the contrary notwithstanding.

Potatoes throughout the State will not be much hesitation in accepting the amendment that Constitutional Amendment No. 1 is thoroughly bad. It is gaining more nor less than a job to fill the San Francisco treasury by reprising in an omnibus amendment attempt to legalize a lot of stale items. A few of these bills are honourable but in proportion to the steals such are proposed to be legalized they are insignificant. If the promotion of the amendment had been conducted to confine it to the claims honestly for supplies received by San Francisco, the amendment would have been suffered to pass without opposition, but the jobbers got in at this stage tacked on a proviso, legalizing as against the city claims for street construction work long ago assessed against individual property owners, and subsequently declared illegal by the courts. There is no merit nor honesty about these claims, so far as the city is concerned, and they amount to something less than $6,000,000. The honest claims for orchestrate covered by the amendment are less than $300,000. Not only is the proviso saddle on San Francisco a tremendous body of illegal work, but it likewise throws down the laws in the most reckless way, and was the city to become an easy prey future jobbers. FROM Mr. Schwenckert. EDITOR GAZETTE:—If you will permit, I will make use of a little space in your good Anaheim paper to defend my city and myself from false attacks. A paper published here (I think the name is Plain Dealer) in its last issue takes occasion to abuse everybody and everything in Anaheim, even the city itself. This sheet, which wants Anaheim to convey to the minds of the public that I had neglected to buy and use water when I should have done so. He said in April I bought 50 cents' worth. I did not buy a cent's worth in April, as I had enough to my credit without doing so. I have twenty acres of land and twenty shares of water stock. I have bought since the 9th of February sixty-three ($63) dollars' worth of water. The most of water was used before the summer months, for by the arbitrary rulings of the gentleman we missed one run that we should have had, and by the loss of that run this section of country will suffer a loss of thousands of dollars, and is it astonishing, under those circumstances, that "that man Pendleton" should kick? Respectfully, A. T. PENDLETON. Placentia, Sept. 27, 1898. —The weekly crop bulletin for Southern California counties, issued from the weather bureau at San Francisco, under date of Sept. 26, is as follows: San Luis Obispo Co.—Bean harvest has commenced.

Their Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammunition and Rations to the Front Saved the Day. P. E. BUTLER, of pack-train No. 3, writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23, says: "We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor; for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and raions, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health; in fact, I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect savior of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of this medicine for our pack-train before we left Tampa, and I know in four cares it absolutely saved life."

Trotting, pacing and running horses from all over the coast are now assembled at Agricultural Park, and many memorable equine struggles can confidently be expected. An unusually strong card has been arranged for the opening day. In addition to the Los Angeles Derby, at one and three-quarter miles there are to be three other running races, with big fields. A 2:16 pace is also down for decision, with the following field of starters: Betatress, Bettie Gentry, You Bet, Bernard, Bernardo Bosler, Billy Bakley, Don and Nutway. No one interested in sharp and exciting speed contests should miss the opening day on Wednesday, and it is one of the best days of what promises to be a sensational meeting. How General Joe Wheeler Was Captured. General Wheeler had a most exciting service throughout the war. He has told how his horses were shot under him again and again and how he escaped without injury, although he always made at the head of his troops. Of all the commanders under Jefferson Davis he stuck closest to him. He was with Davis when the cabinet moved from Richmond to Cokeborough, N. O., and then had eight brigades of cavalry. He told Davis that the soldiers considered the war was over and that he had double in holding his troops together. Davis did not agree with him, and he ordered 16,000 horsehoes sent there to equip his troops for flight through the south. A short time later, however, when he got ready to fly, Wheeler was about the only commander who could get soldiers to go with him, and it was little General Joe who followed the Confederate president with a troop of 500 men. Davis and his cabinet soon saw, however, that their hope was a forlorn one, and they sent orders to Wheeler to disband his troops and take care of himself. This Wheeler did and a short time later was captured by the Union troops and was sent with Jefferson Davis north to prison. Alexander Stephens and Postmaster General Reagan were taken with him, and on the way north General Wheeler says that Stephens thought he was going to sure death. He said as much to General Wheeler, and the general replied, "Well, Mr. Stephens, if this is to be your fate, what must be that of President Davis?" Alexander Stephens raised his hands and replied: "Oh, don't speak of that! His fate is too horrible to consider." General Wheeler said he had no idea he would be killed, and the way he joked about the matter of their joint imprisonment horrified Alexander Stephens. — St. Louis Republic God on Ash Wednesday.

Once a year, on Ash Wednesday, the Anglicans of all the middle class eat salt fish, and this salt fish is always cod. Shrove Tuesday is a kind of London fish shop festival, in which the whole of the "decoration" is salt cod and half lemons. The cod are salted in the shops, being split and very lightly but sufficiently salted, with a view to imparting flavor rather than to preserving the fish. They are then rolled loosely and elegantly and a lemon laid upon each. The origin of the lemon is difficult to trace. Egg sauce, and not lemons, is the traditional "relish" with salt cod, the eggs being also a survival of the old Lenten list of fare. Possibly the lemons were originally part of the surplus stock laid in for the previous feast of pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, Cornhill Magazine. The Early Piano.

Suffering humanity should be supplied with every means possible for its relief. It is with pleasure we publish the following: "This is to certify that I was a terrible sufferer from Yellow Jaundice for over six months, and was treated by some of the best physicians in our city and all to no avail.
