A Tired vice-fresident.

Apparently weary of welding the Vice
Presidents sceptre, Schuyler ColIax has slip
ped out of the honored chair to lower seat,
and Senator occupies his place. If public
man wants to be buried alive he can accom-
plish it by getting himself elected heir-appar-
ent to the Executive. The Vice-Presideht of
the United States never has chance to read
his name in the newspapers, and by the time
his tour years are up the dear public have tor
gotten HIM. Oh, the horror OF riding the
topmost wave Of popularity, and then fit ding
oneself pumped out OF sight, actually buried
under mountain of greatness. If the presi-
dent would only die. But who ever knew a
President to commit suicide, though he is
perfectly aware that another man has been
actually prepared to take his place, and that
the people OF this country will not suffer Tor
the want of President? The actual reason
why the great booy of American women are
ugainst woman suffrage is because they fear
that some tine in the course OF their natural
lives they will be called on to act as Vice
President. Schuyler Coltax was seen reading
a newspaper at the loot OF bis throne, aid il
he gets any comfort out of his position IL must
consist IN holding the gavel suspended over
the heads of the shining lights OF the country.
And yet there is no chance of bringing these
Senators to order, as in the case OF the unru-
ly members of the House. The Senators are
always in order; there is no chance for EN-
ployment for Schuyler Coliax. except to crawl
out of his seat and read a newspaper. And
what does he find in that newspaper? Oh,
sorrow and CONSERVATION! Dawes is ravish-
iny the East with economical delights, and
Logan is cleaning tue Augean stables Of
the House in which iniquily has herded ever
since the Republic began. There are two
positions which ale alike, so Tar as the coun-
try is concerned, the Vice-PIesidency of the
United States and that of couu ry school

THE DAYS OF FoRTY-NINE REVIVED
The flush times Of California seem to be re-
vived for season here. As in days OF yore
men sleep upon the ground and eat around
their camp fires. But few teots, comparative
ly speaking. have yet been put up. AT "Ju-
Iian City" there are two log cabins and some
twenty odd tents, and at Coleman City,"
three miles west, there are a dozen tets.
P,obably 500 people are eE.camped in the Ju-
Iian district, and about $50 at Coleman City.
rowu site has been laid of on a fiat near
the Washington" mine, and the locators
have gone to your city to sell lots. But In
spite of the lack of inhabitants, men cungre-
gate in lots and talk excltedly over the ''pros-
pects." We have two "rum mills" in full
blast, which are well patropized; and gro
cery store is likewise doing thriving busi-
ness. People are fockin, in daily from Los
Angeles and San Bernardino counties, besides
the throngs from San Diego, and we have
now at the mines an aggregate population Of
not far from 1000.
There has been considerable suffering from
the recent cold weather.-San Diego Letter
