HAICHT FROM DEMOCRATIC
STANDPOINT.

The following sweet morsel is from the
San Joaquin Valley Argus, Of June 10th;
Rebt j. Steele editor, giving some reasons
from the Democratic standpoint why
Haight should not be Governor:
A professed opponent to railroad subsid-
les, our statute books are burdened with
some twenty laws authorizing the taxing
OF the property OF people OF cities and
counties in aid Of railroad enterprises bear
ing his approval Though professional
opponent Of monopolies, he [Haight1 has
pursued course during his entire poIiti-
cal career that has aided the Central Paci-
ic abroad Company to acquire rights,
franchises and privileges that are denied
all competing companies whereby the
people are deprived of the benefits of COM

professed Christian he sanctioned the
repeal OF the Sunday Law" Subscribing
to au oath by which ne was bound to sup
port. obey end carry out the provisions and
requirement or the Constitution and laws
ot the United States, he, in his official
capacity as Governor, writes and causes to
be delivered to the Senate and Assembly
of California Message which causes the
State to nulify those laws and the Consti-
tuition. A professed Democrat he has
placed Radicals in high and lucrative posi-
tions which faithful workers in the Demo-
cratic ranks sought to obtain. Known
andacknowledgedto be a heavy stakeholder
III newspaper in Sacramento city, he
sanctioned a law which exacted forced
contributions to it from all the counties in
10 the State. and so enhanced the value Of
his stock that he made good speculation
upon his investment by selling out to I.e-
land Stanford, of the Central Pacific R.
r. Co.
The Mendicino Democrat, of the 10th
inst, pays its respects to our little Govern.
or in the following style.
We cannot believe a Democratic Con-
ventiun will be so blind as to renominats
Haighs for Governor, butwe are not so blind
as to tail to see that one of the most un
scrupulous ana meanest efforts ever made
by candidate and his peculiar" friends
for success, is now in full tide of expert.

WHERE THE : UN DOES NOT SET.-The
following graphic passage is from the des-
cription Of scene witnessed by Mr..
Campbell and his party. in the north of
Norway, from a cliff one thousand feet
above the sea: "The ocean stretches
away in silent vastness at our feet; the
sound of the waves scarcely reached orr
lookout; away in the north the huge old
sun swung low in the horizon, like the
slow beat of the pendulum in the tall
clock of our grandfather's parlor corner
Then we stood looking at our watches.
When both hands came together at twelve
midnight. the full, round orb hung trum-
phantly above the waves, a bridge of gold,
running due north, spanned the water be-
tween us and him. There he shone in
silent majesty. which knew no sitting

GERMAN POLITICS.

The German citizens of San francisco
have met in convention and placed their
platform of political procedure befo e the
people of the State. We admire the in
dependence of this portion of our adopted
citizens, and hope they may use their
power to correct the many evils which
have crept into the body of polite. We
give below their admirable resolves, and
commend them to consideration of the
democracy who have made theie test 30
opposition to the radical measures of Con-
gress' The "new departure" however,
knock this opposition "out oftime." Here
I-ale the rssolutions,:-
| Section l.. Sanctiouing and indorsing
all reconstruction laws passed by Congress.
Sec. 2. Giving the franchise to all per-
sons who forfeited the same by being en-
gagged in the late rebellion.
sec. 8. Unqualified preservation of
religious liberty.
Sec. f. Payment of the National debt
as per contract, so that the burden be divid-
ed between this and future generation.
Sec. 5. That it is the duty OF the State
to give ample education, and, if necessary,
to enforce the same, all children, exclud-
ing all religious teachings. To encourage
cosmopolitan schools, and not to disburss
any money of the School Fund for religi.
Gus purposes.
Sec. 6. Adequate laws prohibiting the
importation ofcoolies.
Sec. Z. Strict economy in the division Of
public lands, so that only real settlers
shall enjoy the benefits thereof ard not
railroad companies and other spectators.
Sec. 8. A reasonable and proportionate
tariff
Sec. 9. Abolishing all unnecessary.and
expensive commissions.
Sec. 10. That the public morals are
not elevated or dignifed by temperance or
Sunday laws, but by the proper education
of our thildren.
The report of the Committee after con-
siderable debate was unanimously adopted.

LITTLE BARE FEET,

Dear little feet, all white and bare,
Al eventide they seek my chair
Ard tired head is laid to rest,
And the blue eyes close upon my breest.
Little bare feet. how weary you grow
In chasing the birds the whole day through,
Resting not ill the day is done,
And silence comes with the setting suu,
There never was music half so sweet
As the tiny patter Of infant feet
Nothing 40 sweet to mt ther's ear,
Nothing b listens much TO Lear.
There's many a cradle put away
In which golden bead once lay,
With sleeping eyes meath the lashes hid
Atop of the snowy coverlid.
Many home hath an empty chair,
And many curl of silken hair
Is laid away with the garments worn,
And the little shoes all sadly torn.
0. little bare feet. the way is long,
But a Fathers love shall bear you on
1t shall guide you safely through the storms,
And flowers shall spring amid the thorns.
Little bare feet, may you never stray
Into the darkness, out of the day,
Out Of the sunshine. out of the bloom,
Into the shadows, into the gloom.
Little bare feet, where the az gels dwell,
Where slvery voices rise and swell
In songs Of praise, in the saints blest home
May YOU stand anear the great white throne

WEIssBIER IN PARIS. There is one
tradition in the German army which has
doubtless surv we'd to this day, and has
been often gayly repeated around the
camp fires before Paris. 1t was told to DR.
Lieber by General Pfuhl, of the allied
army of occupation in 1915. After enter
ing Paris General Pfuhl was mil tary Gov
ernor of one the divisions of the city, and
Prussian soldier, native of Pomerania,
was one day brought before him for having
beaten his host. French citizen, because
he did not instantly produce the white
beer-weissbier of Berlin-when the SOL
dier demanded it. The demand was SC
extraordinary that the curious General seut
for the offending soldier, aud investigated
the case The soldier confessed every
thing. He had asked for weissbier in Paris,
and ainst the most positive orders, had
beaten his French host who did not pro-
duceit.
"But, my boy" said the General, al can
not understand YOU What do you mean
by asking for weissbier in Paris :"
Il will tell you, General, what / mean.
When the Freach were in Pomerania, in
1906, | returned one day from school and
found that the French soldiers were saw
agely heating my old father because they
insisted upon having claret wine, and there
was none, perhaps, in all Pomerania. II
was terrible sight and | took solemn
oath, General, boy as | was, that should
ever get TO Paris as soldier / would de
mand wessbier, and if the Frenchman did
not Instantly bring it I'd fog him we'll
I'm only keeping my oath, G neral"
General Publ said to him, "You will
have your punishment, of course; but my
boy" he added, kindly, "when you come
out | want to see you"
These old feelings have doubtless played
terrible part in the late war; nor can the
French plead that they did not openly ap-
peal to the ancient cnmity. The French
declaration of war of the 18th of July,
1870, ends with these words: THE extra
ordinary constitutional changes in Prussia
ava en- the slumbering recollections Of
lel :. Let US cross the Rhine. and avenge
ths insults Of Prussia. The victors of

France to demand claret in Berlin. But

Fat Men.
From the Trade Journi

From the Trade Journal
1t is striking fact that most people
want to weigh more than they do, and
measure their health by their wei ht, as if
a man were \ pig, valuable in proportion
to his heaviness. The racer is not fat and
good pow horse has but moderate
amount OF flesh. Heavy men are not those
which experienced contractors employ to
build railroads and dig bitches. Thin men.
the world over, are the men for endurance
and are the wiry and hardy. Thin people
live the longest The truth is, fat is
disease, and as proof, fat people are never
well day at time and are not suited for
hard work. Still, there is medium be-
tween as fat as butter ball and as thin
ami juiceless as a fence rail For mere
looks, moderate rotundity is mole desira-
bic, to have enough flesh to cover all an-
gularities To accomplish this in the
shortest time, a man should work but little,
sleep great part Of the time, allow moth
ing to worry hin, keep always in joyous,
laughing mood, and live chiefly on al
buminates, such as boiled cracked wheat,
and rye, and oats, and corn, ard barley,
with sweet milk, and buttermilk, aud fat
meats. Sugar is the best fattener known.
