ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1902. Editorial Note and Comment Frank Ey will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for Supervisor from the First (Santa Ana) district. It required two ballots in the convention four years ago to name the nominee, the first having been a tie. On the second ballot, a delegate with half a vote, who had voted for Ey on the first ballot, switched to Nickey, giving him the nomination. The fight was by odds the closest in that year's gathering of delegates. Since that time Mr. Ey has been elected Mayor of Santa Ana, and is President of the Chamber of Commerce. To him is entitled the credit of the reduced railroad rates on excursions to Orange county and in other ways has he demonstrated the fact that the welfare of the county is ever uppermost with him. His friends endeavored to prevail upon him to enter the race for the Legislature, but he prefers to be Supervisor, and will doubtless receive the nomination and be triumphantly elected. The Redlands Citrograph, speaking of the Congressional situation, says: Capt. M. J. Daniels of Riverside made us a pleasant call last Monday. Captain Daniels is an old friend, one whom we honor and admire, and a visit is always agreeable. He is a candidate for congress, and, as he has had much legislative experience, he would make a good congressman. This county should have the new man, but, if we don't get it here, then Riverside ought to have the call. bailiwick. When Dodge ran for assessor he got 16,000 majority, and Lane received 11,000 majority. Former Governor Budd has been "mentioned," but as yet has refused to listen to the syren song of his friends. Mayor Snyder of Los Angeles wants the nomination, but has little strength outside his own county. Senator J.C. Sims of Napa, chairman of the Democratic State Central committee, is spoken of as a possibility. And there are others. Politicians seem to have long since lost interest in the fight against Internal Revenue Collector John C. Lynch of San Francisco, and the announcement that he will be continued in office causes little comment. A few months ago the San Francisco Chronicle and Call and Los Angeles Times were teeming with dispatches stating that Lynch would surely be removed, that it was a matter of only a few days, etc. Now they have nothing to say. State Senator Belshaw of Contra Costa county went on to Washington prepared to lift the roof off the White House unless the President removed Lynch. But after one interview with Roosevelt he relapsed into silence. As a matter of fact the President and Secretary Shaw found that Lynch had made a splendid record as a capable officer and that the only demand for his removal was to gratify certain factional animosities in the party in California. They didn't propose to mix up in any of our local rows, and so Lynch will keep his place. The great handicap of those who AMONG THE RULERS OF THE OLD From the Realm of a Free national Monarchy to One of lute Despotism. BY REV. FRANCIS E. CLARK The recent visit of Prince Prussia to America has given dredges of thousands of loyal Atheists their first glimpse of Europeans. He is doubtless a very good friend of a seion of a royal house much above the average, worthy of the honor which he Some Europeans, to be surprised to poke fun at America ing quite so much of a king's and they point triumphantly Henry's visit as a token that of pageantry is natural to heart, and that America is as fond of royalty as any other. I have seen even in a German cartoon representing Uncle literally "humping himself" some adulation of Prince Hene has bent so low that his back siderably above his head, wits itself almost from the group huge anaconda, while the stripes with which he is bedecked red with his undemocratic royalty. However, such unmannerly do not greatly trouble us, as that these international counsels meant to emphasize the illness of nations, and do not that America is any less staggering than ever. But at all times kings are personages of interest ality to the rest of the world, eager spending only a few days in any land naturally learns of the opinion of the people reigning family. This option not be an infallible judge means, but it is interesting what The Redlands Citrograph, speaking of the Congressional situation, says: Capt. M. J. Daniels of Riverside made us a pleasant call last Monday. Captain Daniels is an old friend, one whom we honor and admire, and a visit is always agreeable. He is a candidate for congress, and, as he has had much legislative experience, he would make a good congressman. This county should have the new man, but, if we don't get it here, then Riverside ought to have the call. So! The Citrograph was not so long ago assailing Daniels as a man who could not be elected, but now, it seems, if San Bernardino cannot have the nomination, Daniels will have its support. It is absolutely out of the question for San Bernardino to expect this Congressional nomination—indeed, it is doubtful if that county will present a candidate to the convention for that office. San Bernardino has in the person of Mr. Reeves a candidate for renomination as State Treasurer, and in Mr. Kendall a candidate for member of the State Board of Equalization. As if these two nominations were not sufficient for that county, one hears the name of Judge Oster in connection with the nomination for Supreme Justice, and the editor of the Citrograph would not, it is said, decline a nomination for State Printer. To ask the Congressional nomination in addition to these, is putting it on a little thick, I think. Yet, if San Bernardino is not to be accorded the nomination, the man whom the Citrograph assailed not so many weeks ago as a man who could not be elected, even if nominated, is, according to its political logic, to be the chosen one. That is political wisdom with a vengeance. Apart from the Congressional nomination, isn't the South asking too many nominations at this interesting stage of the campaign? We have Greeley for State Superintendent of Public Instruction; Reeves and Kendall for the offices already mentioned, several gentlemen mentioned for Supreme Justice, Blackstock of Ventura for Railroad Commissioner, a man in San Luis Obispo for State Printer, and for aught we know, there may be others. These in addition to the nomination for Governor, which the South will stand for practically as a unit. Next to the Governorship, the Orange county delegates will go to the State convention asking for the nomination of J. P. Greeley. Where all the rest of this voluminous outcropping of candidates are going to removed Lynch. But after one interview with Roosevelt, he relapsed into silence. As a matter of fact the President and Secretary Shaw found that Lynch had made a splendid record as a capable officer and that the only demand for his removal was to gratify certain factional animosities in the party in Californica. They didn't propose to mix up in any of our local rows, and so Lynch will keep his place. The great handicap of those who were fighting Lynch, was, according to the Press of Riverside, the man they wanted to put in his place. Lynch is a politician, that is true, but when Steve Kelley was put forward as less of a politician and a more competent and deserving man, it made the Republicans of this section smile. How Senator Bard ever came to tie up to Kelley is a mystery. All that can be urged against Lynch can be urged against Kelley, the only difference is that Kelley works on a lower plane of machine politics and is not so competent a man. To make Kelley the pet candidate of the reformers was certainly the biggist joke ever perpetrated in Southern California politics. Sissy Pshaw says the resolutions endorsing Gage adopted by the Republican league of clubs convention are "not so warm." The Los Angeles Rubicon Inferno says the Governor "got a frost," and a San Diego reconcentrado says the Governor was not endorsed at all! My, my! What variegated liars these reconcentrados be! Let Us Speak of a Man As We Find Him A coterie of disgruntled politicians is asking the people of Southern California to believe that since his election as Governor of California, Henry T. Gage has been guided by the needs and wishes of a corrupt element in San Francisco, which has had, and still has, complete control of the Governor and dictates his official acts. This story, which, if true, should defeat the Governor for renomination, is told whenever and wherever its telling is thought necessary in order to injure Henry T. Gage. The people of Orange county, who have known him since as a poor boy he worked manfully and honestly among them to raise himself higher in the world until he was chosen to fill the highest office within the gift of the people of California, are now asked to believe that Henry T. Gage is a corrupt politician, and is controlled by corrupt politicians. They are asked to believe that his appointments, when made, were made at the behest of "the ring," and that his appointees are men who seek only to enrich themselves, fleece the public and further the inter-removed Lynch.

Next to the Governorship, the Orange county delegates will go to the State convention asking for the nomination of J. P. Greeley. Where all the rest of this voluminous outcropping of candidates are going to get off, is a problem too hard at the present moment to figure out. The campaign of Hon. E. B. Edson of Gazelle (Siskiyou county) for the nomination for Governor, has been launched and he may be considered a factor of some little weight in the race. Mr. Edson depends somewhat upon the fact that he is a member of the G. A.R. to help his candidacy, as witness the following resolution which was recently adopted by his home post: Resolved, That we heartily endorse the work of Comrade Edson in the conduct of the responsible position which he now holds, as Railroad Commissioner. We commend his patriotic devotion to the principles of the Republican party, and believing that he is eminently qualified to fill the highest station within the gift of the people of the State, we therefore confidently commend him to all our comrades. There is no dearth of candidates for the Democratic nomination for Governor, though the contest in this case has not yet taken on the spiritedness of the Republican battle. Two men are considered seriously at present by prominent San Francisco politicians. They are City and County Assessor Washington Dodge, and Franklin K. Lane, city and county attorney. Both are popular in their necessary in order to injure Henry T. Gage. The people of Orange county, who have known him since as a poor boy he worked manfully and honestly among them to raise himself higher in the world until he was chosen to fill the highest office within the gift of the people of California, are now asked to believe that Henry T. Gage is a corrupt politician, and is controlled by corrupt politicians. They are asked to believe that his appointments, when made, were made at the behest of "the ring," and that his appointees are men who seek only to enrich themselves, fleece the public and further the interests of "the machine." Do the people of Orange county believe these charges to be true? We doubt it. And the old saying, "Speak of a man as you find him," applies with peculiar aptness and force to the matter under discussion. When the Agnews insane asylum, that great institution, was in very bad shape because of machine methods and mismanagement, Governor Gage undertook the task of righting the wrong. Did he give the work in charge of a professional politician, a follower of the machine or even a friend of the so-called political bosses? Nothing of the kind. He looked about for a man to undertake the work of cleaning the Augean stables of the State insane asylum by turning into and through them the river of clean business-like and honest methods. He found that man in the person of Dr. J. A. Crane of Orange county, a man who was without a political pull—was not a politician but was simply honest, straightforward and competent. Dr. Crane was appointed, and his splendid work for the betterment of affairs at the Agnews insane asylum was upheld by the Governor. The result is that the institution is now a credit to California, instead of a disgrace as it was when Henry T. Gage took his oath of office. Let us speak of a man as we find him—Santa Ana Blade.

The recent visit of Prince Henry of Prussia to America has given to hundreds of thousands of loyal Americans their first glimpse of European royalty. He is doubtless a very good specimen of a scion of a royal house, probably much above the average, and was worthy of the honor which he received. Some Europeans, to be sure, are inclined to poke fun at America for making quite so much of a king's brother, and they point triumphantly to Prince Henry's visit as a token that the love of pageantry is natural to the human heart, and that America is at bottom as fond of royalty as any other land. I have seen even in a German paper a cartoon representing Uncle Sam as literally "humping himself" in his fulsome adulation of Prince Henry. He has bent so low that his back rises considerably above his head, which rears itself almost from the ground, like a huge anaconda, while the stars and stripes with which he is bedecked blush red with his undemocratic praise of royalty. However, such unmannerly cartoons do not greatly trouble us, as we realize that these international courtesies are simply meant to emphasize the friendliness of nations, and do not indicate that America is any less sturdy republican than ever. But at all times kings and princes are personages of interest and curiosity to the rest of the world, and a traveler spending only a few days or weeks in any land naturally learns something of the opinion of the people about the reigning family. This opinion may not be an infallible judgment, by any means, but it is interesting as showing how much people know about the world’s surface, rules way, over and over again, to the verge of separation. It takes a skilled and practiced driver on the box to manage these fiery steeds and keep them from overturning the chariot; but King Oscar has wisely, patiently and with a rare self-devotion and patriotism accomplished this difficult task, as few men could have done it. He is universally beloved by the highest and lowest in his kingdom, and the fact that he has been called upon by the United States more often than any other European monarch to arbitrate her disputes with foreign powers shows that he is quite as much honored and respected beyond the seas as at home. I also had the pleasure of more than one interview with the second son of King Oscar, Prince Bernadotte, who is a most kindly, democratic and agreeable gentleman, who has commended himself, not only to all true lovers, but to all true democrats, by being willing to give up the succession to the throne for the sake of the young lady whom he loved, who was not of royal family. As I saw them in their pleasant home, surrounded by their charming children, I did not wonder that in Prince Bernadotte's mind love outweighs rank and station. CZAR NICHOLAS OF RUSSIA. Another strip of water, about twenty hours wide by steamer, separates the kingdom of Sweden from the empire of Russia. If we should go far enough north we should find that the two kingdoms join in Lapland. Here, though these nations lie side by side, we find a difference in the character of the two governments wider than unbridged oceans. For from a free constitutional monarchy, where quite as much liberty is enjoyed as in any republic, we step over into an absolute despotism. where the throne is surrounded by no constitutional restraints, and where there are no elected houses to represent the will of the people. Over this vast empire, comprising one-sixth of the world's surface, rules way, over and over again, to the verge of separation. It takes a skilled and practiced driver on the box to manage these fiery steeds and keep them from overturning the chariot; but King Oscar has wisely, patiently and with a rare self-devotion and patriotism accomplished this difficult task, as few men could have done it. He is universally beloved by the highest and lowest in his kingdom, and the fact that he has been called upon by the United States more often than any other European monarch to arbitrate her disputes with foreign powers shows that he is quite as much honored and respected beyond the seas as at home.

FLORIDA PEOPLE LOOK GOOD TO KOSTER On His Arrival There He Thought They were of the Manana Set, but Finds They Have Considerable Spunk and Get-up. BARTOW, Fla., April 12, 1902. EDITOR GAZETTE—Dear Sir: Since writing my last letter spring has come again, birds are singing and once more the country looks lovely. My fears that we might be visited by a heavy freeze in February were fortunately not realized. The temperature during the whole month never dropped below 31 degrees, and there was no element of danger whatever. But ever since that memorable morning in February, 1895, when the orange growers awoke to find themselves beggared, these people have become very nervous and suspicious. They slept with one eye open and fired their groves several times when there was absolutely no necessity for it. We noticed that the year before thousands of cords of wood were burned uselessly and to no purpose. Of course not all the orange growers in Florida are the firing kind; some consult their thermometers and use judgment before committing any rash acts. It seems that in the lake regions and south of us old trees were not hurt the least, and have blossomed freely according to the papers. Young trees, however, were nipped everywhere, and it is a problem at present to start a young grove successfully. Banking them up—that is, piling dirt around them as high as possible—seems to be the most efficacious method of protection. Most accounts given out by Florida papers are misleading and have to be taken with a grain of allowance. The conditions are not flattering, as they would make us believe, but on the whole the State is prosperous and forging ahead. On our arrival here Florida seemed to us a regular manana country, and we are surprised and rejoiced at the However, such unmaintained carcasses do not greatly trouble us, as we realize that these international courtesies are simply meant to emphasize the friendliness of nations, and do not indicate that America is any less sturdily republican than ever. But at all times kings and princes are personages of interest and curiosity to the rest of the world, and a traveler spending only a few days or weeks in any land naturally learns something of the opinion of the people about the reigning family. This opinion may not be an infallible judgment, by any means, but it is interesting as showing what the people of today think of their rulers. These opinions one pleks up in odd and unlikely corners, in chance conversations, and not in the newspapers, which often would not dare to publish anything uncomplimentary, so I have included these in this series of articles. EMPEROR WILLIAM OF GERMANY. Undoubtedly the vigorous and somewhat eccentric emperor of Germany is growing from year to year in the estimation of his own people, as well as in that of the rest of the world. Few such universal geniuses have ever sat upon the throne. It is not every king who can preach a fair sermon, write a fair poem, paint a fair picture and at the same time keep the reins of government in his strong right hand, to speak literally, for the other is half-paralyzed, and often hangs apparently limp and lifeless by his side. Europe does not laugh at Emperor "William the Sudden" as much as she did. The tone of comment concerning him has changed decidedly, as I can testify, within the last ten years. It is recognized that he is a strong, resourceful, and, for the most part, wise ruler; that his intentions are right; and that he places duty before his own comfort and ease. I have frequently heard President Roosevelt compared to Emperor William, and indeed they have many points in common. They are both "strenuous" spirits. They both have the martial instinct. They both scorn effeminate ease and pleasure and seek their joys on the hunting-field, and both would make gallant figures on the field of battle, a place where I, for one, hope they will have little opportunity to display their prowess in the future. Still, it seems to me that our president has more of the saving salt of common sense, and I should choose to live under the rule of President Theodore rather than under the mailed hand and sceptre of Emperor William. KING CHRISTIAN OF DENMARK. As we go north from Germany, we find ourselves in the little kingdom of Denmark, which her great neighbor, a few years ago, sheared of her fairest provinces. Still, Denmark though little, is an important factor among the Protestant nations of Europe, and her royal family is connected with almost every throne in northern Europe. She has given a queen to England, and the royal family of Russia has frequently found a happy holiday from dynamite plots in beautiful Copenhagen. The old king, Christian, is apparently a Russian. If we should go far enough north we should find that the two kings join in Lapland. Here, though these nations lie side by side, we find a difference in the character of the two governments wider than unbridged oceans. For from a free constitutional monarchy, where quite as much liberty is enjoyed as in any republic, we step over into an absolute despotism. where the throne is surrounded by no constitutional restraints, and where there are no elected houses to represent the will of the people. Over this vast empire, comprising one-sixth of the world's surface, rules a weak young man, who himself is ruled by the mightier will of his ministers. Unfortunately the reaction party is now in power in Russia—the party that would carry Russia back, if possible, to its middle ages of serfdom; the party that is intensely abhorred by the Tolstoi and men of spiritual insight, and is opposed very largely by the educated Russians of every social grade. I found that the opinion everywhere in Russia and Finland was that the Emperor Nicholas was a well-meaning young man, who felt his inability to cope with the tremendous problems of Russian state, and had resigned himself into the hands of his stronger and more unscrupulous advisers. On this account his name is coming to be executed in Finland, whose liberties are being crushed out while his grandfather, Alexander II, who guaranteed these liberties with all sacred sanctions, is today idolized in the popular heart. It must be said, however, that Nicholas is personally no coward. While his father was always afraid for his life, shut himself up in a great palace in the middle of St. Peterburg, and never ventured upon the street, Nicholas drives almost unattended through the streets day after day, seeming to throw himself upon the mercy of his subjects and to appeal to their generosity, since he thus puts his life daily in their hands. This is by far the most sensible as well as the most kingly course to pursue; I believe; for the dynamiter will find some way to kill his victim if he makes up his mind to do it, and bolts and bars and castle walls will prove but slight hindrance. EMPEROR FRANZ JOSEF OF AUSTRIA As we come from Russia, we soon enter the domain of the beloved Franz Josef of Austria-Hungary, an old man who is now nearing the end of a very long and eventful reign. If Sweden and Norway may be compared to two spirited horses pulling in opposite directions, Austria and Hungary may be likened to two wild bulls, each trying to gore and rend the other. The emperor alone is honored and beloved in both countries. The many sorrows which have darkened his life have doubled made him dear to his subjects, but what will happen when his strong hand lays down the sceptre, as it inevitably must before many years, no prophet is wise enough to foretell. KING VICTOR EMMANUEL OF ITALY. Coming south still further, we find ourselves in sunny Italy, and here too, is a young king, elevated to his royal tops. Young trees, however were nipped everywhere, and it is a problem at present to start a young grove successfully. Banking them up—that is, piling dirt around them as high as possible—seems to be the most efficacious method of protection. Most accounts given out by Florida papers are misleading and have to be taken with a grain of allowance. The conditions are not flattering, as they would make us believe, but on the whole the State is prosperous and forging ahead. On our arrival here Florida seemed to us a regular manana country, and we are surprised and rejoiced at the spunk and energy being displayed everywhere, and particularly in our immediate neighborhood. Bartow has now a long distance telephone, there is railroad talk going on, and they are trying to build a $50,000 tourist hotel. We had a fair share of tourists last winter. A great deal of real estate changed hands lately, and it would seem easy enough for any croaker to sell out at a reasonable price and get out of the country. Although the last winter has been a rather rough one for Florida, the climate here is so immeasurably superior to most parts of the United States or the world that it must certainly attract crowds from other parts. With best wishes, yours very truly, HERMAN KOSTER. Strange Case. Four years ago James A. Evelyth of Sioux City, Iowa, owner of a thousand acres farm worth $75,000 father of seven sons, drew $13,000 from a bank and disappeared. For four years his wife searched the country for him. Police throughout the United States had his picture. At last she gave up the search and asked the district court to set aside her share in the estate. Last week a letter came that told her her husband was living near Redondo California, in a rude but. His own son found him, his clothing in rags, his hair long and tangled. Miserery and squall marked the habitation of this man whose mansion in Sioux City is the princeliest in all the county. He resisted all efforts to take him away from his shanty. In his dementia he did not recognize his son. Mrs. Evelyth was appointed her husband's guardian, and will leave for California and bring back home the husband who has endured four years of needless poverty. "A neighbor ran in with a bottle of Chamberlain's Colle, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy when my son was suffering with severe cramps and was given up as beyond hope by my regular physician, who stands high in his profession. After administering three doses of it, my son regained consciousness and recovered entirely within twenty-four hours," says Mrs. Mary Haller of Mt. Crawford,Va.

KING OSCAR OF SWEDEN AND NORWAY When we cross the narrow strip of blue water that separates Denmark from the peninsula of Scandinavia, we find ourselves in the domain of one of the most enlightened, progressive and best-loved monarchs in Europe. King Oscar II has reigned over the united fortunes of Sweden and Norway for thirty years. He is a scholar and a poet, as well as a king, and he realizes better, perhaps, than any reigning monarch one's traditional idea of what a king ought to be. It was my good fortune to have a personal audience with him not many weeks ago, and I can assure my readers that he is not one of those personages who grow smaller and smaller the nearer you come to them. I think he is fully six feet six inches tall, well proportioned and vigorous in his physical development, while his face is modestly and pleasing, and he is noted throughout all the courts of Europe for his winning smile and personal magnetism. Most kindly, too, has he ruled his people for nearly a full generation. It has not been an easy task, for Norway and Sweden have been like two strong horses hitched to the chariot of state and pulling in opposite directions. A large party among the Norwegians have long been clamoring for absolute independence. All sorts of grievances, real or imaginary, have brought Nor- spirited horses pulling in opposite directions, Austria and Hungary may be likened to two wild bulls, each trying to gore and rend the other.

KING VICTOR EMMANUEL OF ITALY. Coming south still further, we find ourselves in sunny Italy, and here, too, is a young king, elevated to his royal post by the assassin's hand. I hear only good things spoken of Victor Emmanuel, evidently a stronger man than his father. So far he has given evidence of wisdom and moderation as well as strength, and shows no signs of surrendering to the Pope. He will, I believe, make united Italy a far stronger power than she has ever been among the nations of the world. I will not speak of other sovereigns of Europe, because I have not yet been within their domains or spoken with their subjects concerning them. If comparison is made with past generations, I think it may be said that Europe never had upon her thrones so many rulers of genuine worth, high character and true patriotism; never so few weak puppets or selfish roues. The rise of the common people has evidently lifted their monarchs as well, and the increasing power of the democracy has had its beneficial effect upon the rulers, as well as upon their humblest subjects. All this augurs well for the twentieth century and beyond. Walks Without Crutches I was much afflicted with sciatica, writes Ed C. Nud, Iowaville, Sedgwick Co., Kan., "going about on crutches and suffering a deal of pain. I was induced to try Ballard's Snow Liniment, which relieved me. I used three 50c bottles. It is the greatest liniment I ever used; have recommended it to a number of persons, all express themselves as being benefited by it. I now walk without crutches, able to perform a great deal of light labor on the farm." 25c, 50c and $1.00 at Watson & Lounsberry. Let It Alone. Scott's Emulsion is not a good medicine for fat folks.
