CALIFORNIA LETTER.
Politics in the Golden State—A Fish Story
—"“Chubby’s” Expensive Trout—Un
fortunate Dunkard Historian—Cli-
mate Cures Hay Fever.
Los ANGELES, CAL, June 24, 1802.
To the Editor of The Star.
Bear Bro.:—I congratulate you on
the result of the late Republican pri-
mary election in Somerset county. I
am convinced that the splendid fight
put up by THE Star for the winning
ticket had a great deal to do with the
bringing about of the victory. Our
primaries will be held in August, but
we do things quite differently here.
We vote only for delegates to the
county convention. The county con-
vention nominates candidates forcoun-
ty offices and delegates to the state
and congressional conventions which
make nominations for stave offices and
congress. I like the Pennsylvania sys-
tem better, as it gives the voters a di-
rect choice in the nomination of candi-
dates for county ofiices. I would like
to see nominations for staie and other
offices made in the same manner, as
nominating conventions usually are
manipulated by professional politicians.
CALIFORIA POLITICS.
A hot fight is on in California over
the governorship. Governor Gage, the
Republican incumbent, wants to suc-
ceed bimself, but he has during his
present term played so completely into
the hands of corrupt and venal bosses,
that the better element of the party
has been completely estranged from
him. The three leading Republican
newspapers of the state—the Chronicle
and the Call of San Francisco and the
Times of Los Angeles—as well as many
of the lesser Republican journals are
opposing him bitterly for re-nomina-
tion, while all the party bosses, ward-
heelers and political pariahs, generally,
are working for him. Out of the bit-
terness of the campaign, a crop of libel
suits is springing up. The governor
has caused the arrest and prosecution
of the proprietor and the editor of the
San Francisco Call dn a charge of
criminal libel, and has sued the Los
Angeles times for $100,000 damages on
the charge of civil libel. So far as the
latter suit is concerned it is regarded
as a mere political bluff and The Times
people are not losing any sleep over it.
Gage has control of the party machin-
ery and may force his nomination for a
second term, but as sure as he does the
magnificent Republican majority of
40,000 rolled up by California in 1900
will almost certainly be wiped out, and
the Democrats, if they put up a good
man, will elect the next governor. The
conditions in California this year are
very much as they were in Pennsyl-
vania in 1882 and 1890 when the Repub-
licans revolted against boss rule and
twice elected a Democrat (Pattison)
governor in the strongest Republican
state in the Union.
California at the present time has a
solid Republican delegation in con-
i | gress
s, but if the Republicans put up a
weak state ticket this fall, several of
{ the congress districts may go Demo-
| cratic.
By the new apportionment,
Los Angeles county is made a congress
| district by itself, and our present con-
gressman, James McLachlan, will un-
| doubtedly be re-nominated and re-
elected, as there is no organized oppo-
sition to him within his own party.
United States Senator Perkins’ term
expires with the present congress, and
he expects to succeed himself, bat
there are half a dozen other Republi-
can aspirants who will give him a hard
run for his money.
A FISH STORY.
A California fish story may interest
your readers more than California
polities, so I will tell one. For the first
time since coming to the Golden State
in 1887, I have satisfied my longing to
go trout fishing. The mountain streams
of California abound with several va-
rieties of trout, mostly with what are
called rainbow trout. These have a
rainbow-tinted stripe running length-
wise of each side of the body, and they
have black instead of crimson spots
like the eastern brook trout. The
California trout as a rule get larger
than their eastern cousins, but I do
not consider them quite sg pretty or as
gamey as the Allegheny mountain fish.
However, one can have good sport
catching them and they are also fine
eating, beating any fish that is caught
in the sea, of which we have such a
variety and abundance.
All the water is taken out of the
southern California streams for power
and irrigation at or above the point
where they debouch from the moun-
tains, therefore one has to go up a con-
siderable distance to find enough water
for fishing. It was on account of the
inconvenience that I never went trout-
fishing here, before this summer. Broth-
er J. B. Livengood has made it a point
to go trout-fishing at least once a year
ever since he joined me in California.
In the early part of May of this year
he invited me to go with him and a
friend up San Antonio creek for a try
at the speckled beauties. I agreed to
go along, but when the time came, I
was forced to forego the pleasure for
business reasons.
ONE ON CHUBBY.”
This proved greatly to my advantage,
as the bovs were fishing in Los Angeles
instead of San Bernardino county,
when a game warden swooped down
upon them and arrested them for
catching trout out of season. The sea-
son opened in San Bernardino county
on May 1, but in Los Angeles county
not before June 1. San Antonio creek
where “Chubby” and his pal were fish-
ing, flows through both counties. The
boys started up the creek on the right
side of the line, but they went too far
up and it cost them $20 to settle with
the game warden of Los Angeles coun-
ty. However, they had splendid sport
and caught several hundred fine trout.
I saved $20 by waiting till June 1, be-
fore I went on my fishing trip. On
that date a party of seven of us went
up the San Gabriel river, the principal
stream of this county. A good stage
road goes up the canon from the town
of Azusa, on the Santa Fe railroad, 28
miles east of Los Angeles. We went
13 miles by stage, then hired mules
and burros to take us about ten miles
farther up Bear Creek canon, through
which a very wild and almost inaccessi-
ble stream comes tumbling into the
San Gabriel. We found it very difficult
traveling to get to the headwaters of
Bear creek, but felt repaid for the
trouble after we once :got there. Ar-
riving on the fishing grounds late on
the afternoon of May 31, we went into
camp for the night and at daybreak
next morning began to wade the icy
waters in quest of the lusty salmo fon-
tinalis, vulgo brook trout. The water
was fairly alive with them, but the
large fish were still most down stream.
We had gone too high up and most of
our catch were below the ayerage size.
We did not get any 6ver ten inches.
Although I had not fished for trout in
seventeen years, I distinguished my-
self by making the largest catch of the
morning, 118. The rest of the party
were not far behind me, so we had
trout a-plenty for dinner. In the af-
ternoon the other fellows went out
again and came back with big strings,
but I was content to rest on my honors
and staid in camp cleaning fish for
supper and to take home with me. On
the following morning we were up
again bright and early and fished a few
hours, adding 40 or 50 each to our
catch; then we packed up, mounted
our mules and returned to civilization.
It was one of the most enjoyable out-
ings I have had since coming to Cali-
fornia.
HELP HOLSINGER.
Before closing I want to say a few
words in behalf of an old friend who
has been visiting my family for several
weeks and who is known to many read-
ers of Tne Star. I refer to Henry R.
Holsinger, a once able preacher and
the pioneer editor and publisher of the
German Baptist Brethren, or Dunkard
chureh, and the father of what is des-
ignated the Brethren, or Progressive
Dunkard church. I regret to say that
Bro. Holsinger is very unfortunate in
his old age. He has ..en an invalid
for some years. Having lost the power
of speech by an affection of the throat,
he is at a great disadvantage in con-
versing with his friends. Bodily weak-
ness also makes it difficult for him to
write, although he does manage to do
some work on the typewriter. Bro.
Holsinger’s home for some years has
been at Lathrop, Cal. His last work in
behalf of the church which he served
so long and faithfully, was the ‘writing
and publication of a “History of the
Tunkers and the Brethren church.”
This is really a work of much historical
merit. Although gotten out under
great difliculties, it is well written and
profusely illustrated with the promi-
nent men of the Dunkard denomina-
tion from its foundation down to the
present time. Unfortunately the sales
have not been sufiicient to defray the
cost of publication and the production
of the book has not only left the author
depleted in purse but a physical wreck.
His mental powers, I am happy to say,
are unimpaired. It would be a gracious
act for all Bro. Holsinger’s old friends.
who have noc yet done so, to order a
copy of his book, a great many of
which remain on his hands unsold. He
has urgent need of the money invest-
ed in them. The volume is well #4
the price—$3, bound in cloth, and $3.5
bound in sheep.
Fifteen years ago, last Sunday, (June
22,) Elder Holsinger tied the knot that
made me a married man. It was a
great pleasure to Mrs. Livengood and
myself to have him with us on our
crystal wedding anniversary.
NO HAY FEVER HERE.
Judge Wm. H. Livengood, of Read-
ing. Pa., is spending the summer here
and has called on us several times, re-
cently. For thirty years he has been
a chronic sufferer from hay fever dur-
ing the early summer. The doctors
told him to try California climate as a
remedy and this is the first summer in
three decades that he has escaped the
disease. Needless to say he is charm-
ed with Los Angeles. The judge is a
distant kinsman of the eiitor of Tue
STAR anu Yours truly,
W. S. LivexGoob.
Very Remarkable Cure of Diar-
rhoea.
“About six years ago for the first
time in my life I had a sudden and
severe attack of Diarrhoea,” says Mrs.
Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. “I got
temporary relief, but it came back
again and again, and for six long years
I have suffered more misery and agony
than I can tell. It was worse than
death. My husband spent hundreds of
dollars for physicians’ prescriptions
and treatment without avail. Finally
we moved to Bosque county, our pres-
ent home, and one day I happened to
see an advertisement of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
with a testimonial of a man who had
been cured by it. The case was so
similar to my own that I concluded to
try the remedy. The result was won-
derful. TI could hardly reali¥e that T
was well again, or believe it could be
so after having suffered so long, but
that one bottle of medicine, costing but
a few cents, cured me.” Tor sale by E.
H. Miller.
Delightful Excursion to Niagara

Wants to See Our Court Sten-
ographer Elected to the
Assembly.
June 30, 1902.
Eprror Srar:—There is no other
newspaper in Somerset county that I
admire so much as I do Tue Star.
While you are at times quite radical
and even go for the “Prohibs” pretty
rough once in a while, yet I admire you
as a man who holds honest opinions
and not afraid to express them. I al-
ways admire a man who boldly advo-
cates what he believes in, and I notice
that you are not in the least afraid of
big game when you go gunning with
your pen. Lou Smith may call you
“Blatherskite Pete” or whatever he
pleases; but the fact remains,neverthe-
less, that you are far the superior of
any other newspaper man in Somerset
county when you get down to writing
an editorial. While I cannot always
quite agree with you, yet I must admit
that what you say on any topic is well
worth reading, and I certainly admire
you for your fearlessness and your
originality.
Brriix, Pa.
Your paper has a sort of magnetism
about it that makes strong friends for
it, and I notice that you are very fair
to others, always tendering them the
use of your columns to express their
opinions, no matter how much they
may be at variance with your own.
I have no ax to grind. but kindly
permit me to say a few words in behalf
of our able and popular court sten-
ographer, Rev. Peter Vogel, who is a
candidate on the Prohibition ticket for
Assembly. Mr. Vogel should be elect-
ed, for he is a most just and able man.
He would do our county honor in the
Legislative halls at Harrisburg, and he
can be elected, if my suggestions are
carried out. Here is my plan: Let
Mr. Haselbarth, of your town with-
draw. He is a good man, but nat so
well known as Mr. Vogel, and under
no circumstances can both of them be
elected. But if Mr. Haselbarth gives
the field to his running mate, Mr.Vogel
will defeat the weaker of the two Re-
publican candidates without a doubt.
It is not for me to say who the weaker
candidate is on the Republican ticket,
but Mr. Vogel will draw enough votes
from both factions of the Republican
party, if Mr. Haselbarth withdraws, to
defeat one of the Republicans and both
of the Democratic candidates.
This, of course, is only my opinion,
but if you will kindly give it space, you
will greatly oblige a considerable num-
ber of good citizens,
Yours Truly,
NoN PARTISAN.

ary to THE Star, but we think our ad-
miring friend has spread it on rather

Tue poor old Somerset “Herald this
week shows signs of recovering {rom
the political bellyache. The old faded
fairy is to be congratulated. It is do-
ing real well, considering that “Bark-
er’s Liniment” is no longer accessable
as a household remeby in the Scull
family.
Ir has not yet occurred to Lou Smith
and a few other benighted sapheads
that the Baker ballot law has nothing
whatever to do with the Republicam
primary rules in Somerset county.
Talk about what the Dauphin county
court will do to favor the Scull bolters
is all very cheap and from an unreliable
source. Pooh! Bah! Lucifer, go 'way
back and treat yourself to a seat.
Tor Fayette Republican says it is
rumored that Jacob S. Koontz, who was
defeated for the nomination for the of-
fice of County Commission at our late
primary, will file nomination papers
and present himself as an Independent
candidate for that office. Well, just
let *‘Jakey” try it on. The people of
Somerset county want no more of him
or his stripe, and if he is not yet satis-
fied, just let the old Scullwart bolter
come out on nomination papers. Then,
he will get his bumps worse than ever.
No False Claims,
The proprietors of Foley’s Honey and
Tar do not advertise this as a “sure
cure for consumption.” They do not
claim it will cure this dread complaint
in advanced cases, but do positively as-
sert that it will cure in the earlier
stages and never fails to give ‘comfort
and relief in the worst cases. Foley’s
Honey and Tar is without doubt the
greatest throat and lung remedy. Re-
fuse substitutes. E. H. Miller,
