The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY.....NOVEMBER 3, 1888 A MALICIOUSLY UNTRUTHFUL CIRCULAR. A maliciously untruthful circular, inspired in ignorance, and spread broadcast before the people in bad-faith and malice; unsigned, except for the specious signature "Taxpayers of Third Supervisorial District," was distributed throughout this Supervisor district on Sunday, attacking Supervisor Potter, and charging him, first, with drawing an excess of mileage in the amount of 20 cents per mile for each mile traveled in going to and returning from the meetings of the Board of Supervisors during his term of three years and nine months; and, second, with having drawn, as a result of this excessive and illegal charge, the sum of $724 20 over and above the amount allowed him by law. No newspaper in the county would dare to have published this libelous mass of falsehood, for swift and condign punishment would follow close upon the heels of its publication; and so these conspirators, who are seeking from ulterior motives to defeat a faithful public official, resort to the practices of the masked assassin, and cast their printed attack upon him in the back alleys, and throwing them over fences, afraid to come out in the open and make the charge in the manner of an honorable man, or in a way to merit the attention of the fair-minded voter. The statements contained in the circular are a tissue of transparent and atrocious falsehoods; and if H. A. McWilliams, the Fusion candidate for Supervisor, in whose interest the circular is apparently drawn, depends upon it for votes to elect him on Tuesday next, he must consider the chances of his election as forlorn and hopeless indeed. The circular reads as follows: TO THE TAXPAYERS OF ORANGE COUNTY. The question of Supervisor Potter's mileage allowance having been the subject of discussion for some time in this community, have of those figures. Thus the sum remaining undrawn in that fund amounts, as we said last week, to $922 60. The circular continues: "Under the law of 1893, as passed by the Legislature, the Supervisors of the county are allowed the sum of $500 per annum, together with mileage at the rate of thirty cents per mile at each regular meeting of the board for each mile traveled. Under the new law the Supervisors are allowed $400 per annum and mileage at the rate of ten cents per mile." Note the insincerity of the author of the circular. It is not charged in so many words that Mr. Potter drew an excess of $100 per year in his salary, and an excess of 20 cents per mile in mileage; but the charge is there by implication just the same. Let us see how few words will put this fellow down. In the first place, the law never allowed the Supervisors mileage at the rate of 30 cents per mile. The law of 1883 allowed mileage at the rate of twenty cents per mile one way, and the law of 1893 changed it to twenty cents per mile both ways, not thirty; and that is the law we are at present operating under. Furthermore, the new law reducing the mileage to ten cents per mile does not go into effect until January 1, 1899. What, then, becomes of the charge that Mr. Potter has taken an excess of mileage at the rate of 20 cents per mile during the three years and nine months of his term? Is this the way the author of the circular arrives at his conclusion that Mr. Potter has overdrawn his salary as a public official by upwards of $700? No man who would make such a statement, or seek to get into office by it (no man who, knowing that such a slanderous statement had been made of his opponent, failed to come forward and denounce it as unequivocally false), is fitted to fill the honorable office of Supervisor of Orange county! The arithmetic of the anonymous circular would lead one irresistibly to the conclusion that its author must inevitably have been suffering from an attack of alcoholic daze when engaged in the preparation of that precious document. Thus it is asserted that Mr. Potter attended 32 meetings in Clerk, will be of interest at this time Anaheim road district...$50 Buena Park district...$30 Fullerton district...$80 Olive district...$30 Yorba district...$50 Total amount received...$27 "State of California, County of Orange I. D. T. Brock, County Clerk and ex-officio Clerk of the Superior Court, do hereby notify the foregoing to be a full, true and direct account of all money drawn by W. Potter for road mileage in superintendent roads in the Third Supervisorial district from Jan. 1st, 1886, to Oct. 4th, 1898, as same appears upon the allowance book my office. In witness whereof, I have hereunto my hand and affixed the seal of the Superior Court, this 1st day of November, 1888. D. T. BROCK, County Clerk It will be seen that the total mileage drawn by Supervisor Potter aggregates $272 20—$2 20 less than figures first given; the clerical extent thus charging Mr. Potter with $ more than the record shows. Mr. Potter has in his possession detailed report from County Auditor Hall, attesting the correctness of above. Mr. Potter has attended the following meetings of the Board of Supervisors since his induction into office: During 1896...41 Mee During 1896...41 Mee During 1897...43 Mee During 1895...31 Mee Total...156 Mee At a mileage of $5,20 for each these meetings entitle him to $81 This amount County Auditor Hall certifies to being correct. The great question of Mr. Potter mileage, then, stands as follows: For attending meetings of the board... For superintending the county roads... Total mileage received...$1 The following sworn statement of Abstract and Title Guaranty Co., Santa Ana sheds further light upon circular: "Abstract and Title Guaranty Co., Santa Ana. State of California, County of Orange D. W. Lewis, being daily sworn de, and says: That he has held Secretary o Abstract and Title Guaranty Co. corporation that he has read a dodge dressed 'to the Taxpayers of Orange co.' and signed Taxpayers of 3rd Superior District; that he has carefully committed the statements therein contained wiformation furnished by said Abstract Title Guaranty Company, and that he the first four items aggregating $1088 be as found and furnished by said componies being the entire milledrawn by said Supervisor Potter, boroad work mileage and mileage for a ance upon the sessions of the Board pervisors during the periods therein." As to the other matters contained in dodger the said company has made The statements contained in the circular are a tissue of transparent and atrocious falsehoods; and if H. A. McWilliams, the Fusion candidate for Supervisor, in whose interest the circular is apparently drawn, depends upon it for votes to elect him on Tuesday next, he must consider the chances of his election as forlorn and hopeless indeed. The circular reads as follows: TO THE TAXPAYERS OF ORANGE COUNTY. The question of Supervisor Potter's mileage allowance having been the subject of discussion for some time in this community, a few of the tax-payers interested have caused an abstract to be prepared showing the actual amount of money drawn by Mr. Potter for mileage since January 1st, 1895, which is as follows: For the year 1895, $233.60; 1896, $283.00; 1897, $287.80; 1898, $264.40; Total $1,088.80. At variance with the above, and guided by an evil spirit, the GAZETTE in its last issue makes the statement that Mr. Potter has only drawn $777.90, and that he is entitled by law to $200 per annum, or $1,200 for the four years of his term of office. The GAZETTE in its effort to mislead the public and for the purpose of controlling public opinion, has asserted in its columns that Mr. Potter has actually drawn $1088.90 in addition to the sum of $277.40 which he admits as having been drawn; however, the taxpayers are not so easily hoodwinked; as the figures taken from the abstract show that Mr. Potter has actually drawn $1088.90 in January 1896 to October 21, 1898 inclusive. The figures showing the amount of money already drawn by Supervisor Potter, during the three years and nine months preceding the report of the Abstract and Title Company above referred to, dated Oct. 21st, and certified by the man of that company as being absolutely correct, were taken from the Allowance Book of the Board of Supervisors and from the Auditor's Warrant Book and are a complete refutation of the figures stated by the GAZETTE above referred to. The misrepresentations of the GAZETTE were evidently made were paid for) for the purpose of enclosing Mr. Potter's claims for re-election. They were primarily made to deceive the public and notwithstanding Mr. Potter's reputation for truth and veracity, his prospects for re-election have been materially injured by the deliberate falsehoods published by our County Supervisors in the administration of the county affairs demands a thorough investigation by the Grand Jury. In furtherance of the mileage question and more particularly to explain the matter, Mr. Potter would be entitled to draw in the year 1895, $85.60; in 1896, $117.60; in 1897, $88.90; in 1898, $85.60; in 1899, $117.60; in 1897, $88.90; in 1898, $85.60; in 1899, $117.60; in 1897, $88.90; in 1898, $85.60; in 1899, $117.60; in 1897, $88.90; in 1898, $85.60; in 1899, $117.60; in 1897, $88.90; in 1898, $85.60; in 1899, $117.60; in 1897, $88.90; in 1898, $85.60; in 1899, $117.60; in 1897, $88.90; in 1898, $85.60; in 1 If the befuddled author of the circular, or the candidate in whose interest it is apparently drawn, will attend for a moment, we shall try to make our statement of last week, upon which much of the vituperation of the circular seems to be predicated, as clear as possible. We did not say that Mr. Potter had drawn only $277 40 in mileage during his term of three years and nine months. If these two honorable men had read our editorial aright, before rushing into a printed circular attacking us as a paid misinformer, it might speak better for their fairness of purpose, if not for their political sagacity. We said, and say again, and Mr. Potter admits, that he has drawn his salary of $500 per year in attending the meetings of the Board of Supervisors, and mileage allowed by law (20 cents per mile) in going to and returning from the meetings of the board. This Supervisor Schorn (Mr. Potter's predecessor in office, and a Democrat) drew; this Mr. Hawkins, the Democratic member from Garden Grove, and Mr. McCampbell, the Populist member from Tustin, also draw. This Mr. McWilliams or Mr. Jennings, the Fusion and the Independent candidates for the office, would also undoubtedly draw, in the improbable event of the election of either—Mr. Jennings himself, speaking for himself, has said it. Mr. Potter does not deny drawing this mileage. That attaches to the salary of the office as fixed by law; and because he has not forfeited any part of it, or covered any portion of it back into the county treasury, is not sufficient cause wherein to base a charge against him of dishonesty. His liberality in leaving undrawn, in the amount appropriated by law to cover his mileage as Superintendent of the county roads, the sum of $922 60, is sufficient disproof of the statement that he seeks the office for the gain that is in it. Each Supervisor is allowed by law the sum of $300 per year for his services as Superintendent of County Roads. This compensation Supervisor Schorn received during his term of office, and this the other members of the present board also receive. Of this amount, aggregating $1200 in four years, Mr. Potter has in the three years and nine months of his term drawn $277 40. We challenge the author of the circular or Mr. McWilliams to point out a dollar or a cent or any other amount in excess In 1898 he attended 26 meetings and drew $264 40 in mileage, according to the circular; or at the rate of $10 16 per trip—$4 96 per trip more than the record shows he drew. But if he drew $264 40, $135 20 being for attending the meetings of the board, the balance ($129 20) was for superintending the construction of the county roads—$170 80 less than the law allows him as such officer. Here we have the four amounts of $212 80 in 1895, $235 40 in 1896, $178 60 in 1897, and $170 80 in 1898 (a total of $797.60) less than the law allowed him for superintending the county roads; even admitting all the figures furnished by the abstract company to be true. But the record shows Mr. Potter has only drawn $277 40 of the $1200 appropriated for Superintending the county roads, leaving a balance of $922 60 yet in the treasury in that fund uncollected by him—$114 80 more to his credit than would appear from the above figures from the abstract company. One more comparison of the figures in this absurd circular, and we shall let them pass into oblivion. The circular says Mr. Potter was entitled to draw as mileage during 1895 the sum of $85 60. Inasmuch as the circular admits he attended 32 meetings of the board his amount of mileage, as we have shown, would come to $166 40. How then, does this precious arithmetic arrive at his figures, that Mr. Potter is entitled to receive only $85? The figures are, not only untrue, but are ridiculous. The trouble with the genius who prepared the circular is that he figures all the mileage drawn by Mr. Potter (in attending the meetings of the board and while acting as Superintendent of the county roads) in a jump sum; giving him no credit for such portions of the $300 yearly appropriated to him by law for acting as Superintendent of the county roads. To account for this apparent overcharge, the author of the circular arrives at the conclusion that Mr. Potter has been charging an excess of mileage at the rate of 20 cents per mile during the three years and nine months of his term. Will men of sense and reason permit themselves to be cajoled and hoodwinked by such arrant and nonsensical trash? The following statement by County Clerk Brock, showing the road mileage drawn by Supervisor Potter in the three years and nine months of his term, and sworn to by the County Hoarseness in a child that is to croup is a sure indication of proach of the disease. If Chambre Cough Remedy is given as soon child becomes hoarse, or even a croupy cough has appeared, it vent the attack.

The Democratic platform expressly declares: "We favor a constitutional amendment abolishing the state poll tax." The Populist convention declares: "We favor the repeal of all poll taxes." The Republican party stands for the maintenance of the state poll tax. The issue is squarely before the people. The state poll tax is a tax of $2, imposed by the constitution upon every male person in the state 21 years of age and upward for the benefit of the public school system. Every dollar of it goes into the state treasury and is there distributed to each of the counties in the state in proportion to the number of school census children in such county. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898, there were collected in California poll taxes to the amount of $364,-291.62, paid into the state treasury and distributed to the counties and school districts of the state. There are in California 340,952 school census children, toward the education of each of whom the state contributes $9.11 out of its various funds. If the state poll tax is abolished as prayed for by the confusion combination party, and the school tax is not increased to make up the deficiency, it will mean that 39,988 children of school age will receive no aid from the state in their education, or the educational advantages of all the children will be curtailed, so far as state aid is concerned, almost ten per cent. Mr. Maguire denies that his party intends to thus curtail the state school fund, and proposes to make up for the loss of the poll tax by a further tax on land, but the various counties of the state contribute to the cause of education locally, and aside from what goes into the state fund, a per capita of $8.94, and yet the demands for additional funds for educational purposes are unremitting.

If the people of California wish to show their appreciation of a faithful public officer, they cannot find a more worthy man upon whom to bestow such approval than Hon. A. J. Johnston, who is a candidate for re-election to the office of superintendent of state printing, for it has been due to his unwerving loyalty to the interests of the people that the obnoxious eastern school-book monopoly has been thus far repulsed in its attempts to destroy the state school-book system, and again fasten upon the parents and taxpayers of California the outrageous extortions and exactions to which they used to have to submit when the book trust had control. Under the system by which the state publishes her own school books, and furnishes them to the people at cost of manufacture, there have been saved to parents, in the difference of the cost of books, during the incumbency of A. J. Johnston alone, the immense sum of nearly $800,000, or an average saving of about $4.50 for every child attending the public schools of California; and in the manufacture of the books he has used nothing but well paid union labor. It is the destruction of the state printing office that the private school-book trust has been trying to accomplish ever since it was established, and it has been in defense of this institution that State Printer Johnston has unflinchingly met the assaults of the trust, has thus far succeeded in thwarting its schemes. Thanks to the vigilance of State Printer A. J. Johnston, these efforts, which bobbed up every session of the legislature, were successively defeated; until at the legislative session of 1897, Governor Budd, with a single stroke of his pen, did that thing which the book trust had for years failed to accomplish—he vetoed the appropriation, thereby causing a suspension of all state printing, and throwing the entire expense of publication, maintenance, power, administration, insurance, etc., upon the school-book fund. If the trust can now rid the printing department of the principal obstacle to the success of its designs—State Printer A. J. Johnston—its efforts to break down the state school-book system would be under way to accomplish. To effectually thwart these efforts, and to rescue the system from the hands of its enemies, the people should see to it that its friend and defender, A. J. Johnston, is re-elected to the important office of superintendent of state printing, an office the incumbent of which exercises such decisive influence for the weal or woe of Call on us, we will show you will please you.

The Sunset line is especially adapted to winter travel, and the limited trains are during the season crowded to their full capacity with an exclusively first-class patronage. This is the most magnificent train fa America, vestibulated throughout, illuminated with Prints gas and heated by steam. Every train is made up as follows: One composite car, containing bath-room, barber-shop, cafe, library and smoker; one compartment car with lavatory in each compartment, and parlor for the special use of ladies, and a ladies maid in attendance; as many double drawing room, teu-section sleepers as may be necessary, with toilet annexes; one dining-car, meals served a la carte. Season from November until April. In addition to the above first-class service the Southern Pacific tourist system is positively unequalled by any competitive schedule. Note carefully their various excursion routes, and take your choice. Tourist sleepers leave Los Angeles as follows, viz: Sunset route, via New Orleans, to Chicago—8:15 a.m., Tuesday; Sunset route, via El Paso, to Chicago—8:15 a.m., Tuesday; Sunset route, via El Paso to Chicago—8:15 a.m., Wednesday; Sunset route, via El Paso to St. Paul—8:15 a.m., Wednesday; Sunset route, via New Orleans to Washington—8:15 a.m., Thursday and Sunday; Sunset route, via New Orleans to Pittsburg—8:15 a.m., Friday; Sunset route, via New Orleans to Cincinnati—8:15 a.m., Saturday.

McKinley, the admiration of the world, will be indorsed. Honest money and financial integrity. Equality in taxation, something from all. Will save a fair name for California. A Shallow Pretense. Of all the shallow pretenses of the very shallow gentleman who is running for governor of California on the fusion ticket there is none no so shallow as the pretense that he will, if elected, bring the Southern Pacific Railroad to judgment for its oft repeated wrongs to the people. Mr. Budd went into office by telling the people what great things he would do "when I am governor," but he has not done any of them. He could not if he tried, for the reason that the position of governor gives him no jurisdiction over railroads. Mr. Maguire knows this perfectly well, but being a pretender he uses the pretense for what it is worth to him as a vote getter. The railroad question rests in congress, the commission, and the courts, and fine progress is making in the solution of the problem. The United States Supreme Court has recently decided that the Sherman anti-trust law, a Republican measure, prohibits the existence of a trans-continental freight and passenger association among railroads, and insures competition in carrying all California products to eastern markets. Mr. Maguire as governor could, if he were so minded, Pacific Coast Steamship Co.

City Marshal and Ex-officio Tax Collector. The Virginia Dale Mining District in San Bernardino county is evidently an extensive and profitable field for investment of capital. The recent strike of the Reed Bros. is most wonderful. They have been prospecting in the district for a long time and are rewarded by discovering a good-sized vein of one that carries from $200 to $30,000 per ton in gold. The Eagle mountains and the country north of Salton is also attracting considerable attention. There is a stage connection at Palm Springs via the Lost Horse, and Desert Queen mines to Virginia Dale, and via Walters for Eagle mountains. Take the Southern Pacific route in either case, for close connection and low rates of fare. F. SHANLEY Of Anaheim regular Republican nominee for JUSTICE OF THE PEACE. Anaheim Township.

THEO.LACY, Regular Democratic nominee for SHERIFF. HORACE C HEAD FOR District Attorney The Congressional Ticket. California could do nothing more foolish and more unpatriotic than to send a Popocratic delegation to Congress this year. With the nation on the eve of a new and expansive foreign policy that will open the markets of all Asia to California products, what folly would it be to elect to congress men opposed to such policy and tie the hands of the administration. The Republican party is a responsible political organization. It will not shirk responsibility however great, and it will hold itself at all times answerable for its conduct of affairs. Divide that responsibility by making one of the houses Popocratic and responsibility is at an end, and a progressive policy impossible. What folly to thus fetter the feet of progress on the very threshold of a great era of commercial expansion that in the fulness of its development will make the Pacific Coast the commercial and financial counterpart of the Atlantic seaboard! No matter what party one may belong to his interests are at this juncture with the Republican party. Henry T. Gage, in more than twenty years' practice of his profession, never took a case against a friend or foreclosed a mortgage that cost any one his home. Does that look as though he would if elected Governor, be the subservient tool of a soulless corporation? Only a man of sympathhetic nature and sound principles without abundant resolution to adhere to principles could have made such a record. The recent strike of the Reed Bros. is most wonderful. They have been prospecting in the district for a long time and are rewarded by discovering a good-sized vein of one, that carries from $200 to $30,000 per ton in gold. The Eagle mountains and the country north of Salton is also attracting considerable attention. There is a stage connection at Palm Springs via the Lost Horse, and Desert Queen mines to Virginia Dale, and via Walters for Eagle mountains. Take the Southern Pacific route in either case, for close connection and low rates of fare. The Best Plaster. A piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound on to the affected part is superior to any plaster. When troubled with a pain in the chest or side, or a lame back, give it a trial. You are certain to be more than pleased with the prompt relief which it affords. Pain Balm is also a certain cure for rheumatism. For sale by P. A. Derge. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D.: "Was taken with a cold which settled on my lungs; cough set in and finally terminated in Consumption. Four doctors gave me up, saying I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my Savior, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight bottles. It has cured me, and thank God I am saved and now a well and healthy woman." Trial bottles free at P. A. Derge's drug store. Regular size 50c and $1. Guaranteed or price refunded. Be Careful About Voting. The Republican State Central Committee wishes especially to impress upon the minds of voters the necessity of voting the whole ticket. Many voters are careless. They stamp the head of the ticket and one or two, or half a dozen others, and go to the county ticket before finishing all the names on the Republican State and district ticket. Especially has this been unfortunate for candidates for congress and other district nominations. By taking thought the voter will do justice to the whole ticket. If the reader will be careful about this himself, and caution others to be careful, a full vote will be brought out all down the line and the Republicans will make a clean sweep.
