REPUBLICANS ON A DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM,

The anti Chinese plank in the Cal
ifornia Radical platform is not re-
ceived with much favor by the out
spoken organs of that party. The
Oakland News declares that sensible
people will view the Chinese and
anti-subsidy section of the plat
form with contempt. The Sacra-
mento Record is ''sorry to e the
anti Chinese sections in the plat
form" 1t expresses the opinion
that sit might have been safely left
to the Democracy, and we do not be-
lieve that any good end al ever be
attained by trucking to an I'M
reasoning antipathy."
Nor is this doctrine received with
any greater favor by the leading or
gans at the East, which reject it as a
palpable violation of the spirit and
past Legislation of the Radical party.
The New York Tribune says the
platform adopted "unwisely de
further Chinese immigra-
ton, and calls on the Government to
abrogate the United States treaty
with China. If there is one thing
more than another which promises
great things for the trade and COM
merce of California, it is the con-
tinuance of an amicable and close
connection with China. But, for
the poor purpose OF currying favor
with the baser sort (who never vote
the Republican ticket the Califor-
MIA Republicans have taken a new
departure which will grieve Judi
cious friends in and out of the
State"
The Tribune need not suffer long.
The Radical leaders and manufactur-
ers of party sentiment on the Pacific
Coast entertain no such ideas as
those promulgated by the California
politicians. Many honest but fool
ish Republicans entertain ideas an
tagonistic to the Chinese and to rail-
road subsidies, but they are only
clay in the hands of the skillful man
ipulators who know how to blind
fold the weak-minded when necessary
or to play upon a hundred other
partisan strings, which bring them
to the polls at the proper time to the
step of party music, just as we now
see papers like the Sacramento Rec
ord and Oakland News splitting upon
the platform but urging the election
of the candidates.
This process of attempting to run
the Republican locomotive with Dem
ocratic fuel is not new on this coast.
1t was tried in the State of Nevada
last Fall, and the Republican train
went over the embankment in con-
sequence. It can't be done any
where.

Those who weary of what they term
the humdrum life of the country and
long for the city, may become more

only five out of a hundred succeed in
avoiding an entire collapse of their

Narrowing Corn.

Noticing an inquiry of R. j. NJ. Martin

will give my method of raising corn in
Iowa. pillow deep, roll my ground be-
fore marking, use an improved planter
with man to drop instead of boy, and
drive straight both in marking and
planting.
As soon Is the corn is up big enough to
follow the row, take an "A" harrow
knock out the forward tooth, put bow in
the rear end of the harrow to manage il
with, put on two horses, and straddle
every row with the harrow, which will
pulverize the ground, loosen it up, kill all
the surface weeds, and leave the ground in
good shape for the cultivator. I then fol.
low up with the two-horse cultivator, and
60 over with this three or four times, or
as long as corn needs working. Be verv
careful to pull all the weeds out of the
hills.
One good man, with a good team, will
tend fifty acres, in this way, in an ordinary
season, and keep the ground clean Of
weeds, and have good corn and plenty Of
it. If you have any doubts of this method.
let any farmer try strip OF, say, twenty
rows, leave twenty without the harrow
and roller, and then roll and harrow twen-
ty more, and give the result next fall

Summer Drinks.

The first, the best, because the safest for
laborers, invalids, the sedentary, for all
classes, at all times of the day and night, is
half glass at time, repeated in ten min
utes, if desired, of common cold water, at
the temperature of the spring, or well, or
reservoir, or cistern. Ice water is more
palatable, but often kills.
Any drink which contains alcohol, even
cider root beer, or domestic cordials, all
are not only not harmless, but are posi-
lively injurious, because the atom of ALEC.
hol, by using the strength of the next
minute for the present, leaves the system
that next minute just that much weaker
than it would have been hao not that atom
of alcohol been taken; this is the case,
because that atom of alcohol has not one
particle of nutriment, hence connot SUD-
ply the system with one atom of strength.
If anything is added to the summer
drink, it should contain some nutriment,
so as to strengthen the body as well as to
dilute the blood for purposes of more
easy flow through the system, as any one
knows that the thinner fluid is the more
easily does it flow. Some of the more nu.
tritious and safe drinks are given below,
especially for those who drink in the sun
of summer, all to be taken at the natural
temperature of the shadiest spot in the
locality. To any Of them ice may be
added, but it is luxurious, not a benfcial
ingredient, nor safe one.

O. A pint of molasses to gallon Of

3. A lemon to half gallon of water

4. Vinegar, sugar, and water are substi.

5. A thin Cruel made of corn or oats,
drank warm, is strengthening.

berries to half gallon of water is agree

Cold water applied to the head is very

On Time.

If tailors, boot-makers and tradesmen
generally did but know it, the public hold
punctuality in as high estimation as per-
feet fits. AS there is nothing more annoy
ing than repeated delays after thing has
been promised, so there is nothing more
satisfactory to the customer than TO DC
served according TO agreement. Those
tradesmen make mistake who habitually
promise what they know themselves they
cannot perform. A purchaser, after being
disappointed two or three times, seeks
some other establishment. 1t has been
truly observed that men "who are habit
ually behind time are habitually behind
success" They are always losing custom.
