So the stranger, a gaunt, sallow, melan-

no doubt had good sleep. After breakfast
the next morning, Mr.. Belper took occasion
in very gentle manner to remind his guest
of the contract made the previous night.

The FOLLY OF ATTEMPTING TO CONTINUE
YouNe.--Once for all, there is no misery 80
distressful as the desperate agony Of trying to
keep young when you can't. know an old
bachelor who has attempted it. His aifec-
.ation Of youth, like all sffectations, is mel
ancholy failure. He is vapid young man
of fifty. He plies innocent young ladies
with the pretty compliments and soft nothings
iu vogue when he was a youth Of twenty.
The fashion Of talking to young ladies has
changed in the last thirty years, you know.
and this aged boys soft nothing seems more
out of date than two-year-old bonnet.
They make you think, somehow Of that time
honored frog story wherein is set forth the
discovery of galvanic electricity. When yoa
see his old fashion young antics-his gal
vanic gallantry, so to speak, and hear the
speeches he makes to girls in their teens,
when he ought to he talking to them like
father, you involuniarily call him an old
idiot, and long to remind him of that quaint
rebuke of grand old john "rhou talkest
like one upon whose head the shell is to this
very day" That is how he seems. He ia
old enough to have been almost full-Aedged
before you were born, and here he is trying
to make believe that he is still in the days Of
his gosling green, with the shell sticking on
his head to this day! 1t is melancholy
absurdity. One can't be young unless one
is young. Only once is it given to US to be
unried and soft, and gushing and superlative
and when the time comes for it all to go, no
sort Of effort can hold back the heeting days.

BOOTHS PLATFORM.

In 1867, Geo. G. Gorham, says the Er-
aminer, who was then candidate for the
Gubernatorial nominal ON at the hands Of
the Republican Convention, which be subse-
quently received, wrote letter to Thomas
Gray, President Of the Anti-coolie organza-
ton, in which he said:
As question then Of right and wrong, ]
am as emphatically opposed to all attempts
to deny the Chinese the right to labor for
pay, as am to the restoration Of African
slavery, whereby black men were compelled
to labor without pay. This is with me an
earnest conviction, the expression of which ]
have no desire to avoid. As question OF
policy am equally opposed to your move
| Now that we have succeeded in breaking
down the China wall let us not hasten 10

question of cheap labor will not here dis
cuss, but ii seems certain to nae that IF ICE
could hare it in abundance, the State would
20 forward at such strides as would make
prosperity general among all deserving
classes. Principle and policy, then, both
forbid the attempt to make acar upon our
Asiatic bretheren.
Two weeks after this letter was wri' ten,
Booth was nominated fos the Senate by the
Republicans Of Sacramento, and thus defined
his position:

The ErFEcsT OF DEMOCRATIC RULR.-The
Radical administration of the State Govern
ment left the people legacy Of State debt
amounting to, IS ,224 1872. Under Governor
Haights administration the debt has been
reduced to So, ,429,O27, which includes a
floating debt of SLIT 1927, which has been
provided for and the money already raised
TO liquidate i. The debt is therefore, in
reality, So ,31l 500, or in other words, since
Governor Haisht came into power, the State
debt has been reduced $1,9l2,792, Bu'
his is not all The rate Of taxation in 1867,
when the Republicans went out of power was
1t the rate Of Lib on each 500 Of taxable
property. The rate of 1870 and 1871 is
Sc! ceirs, Or a reduction Of 26a cents
,bout 25 per cent To fully appreciate the
difference between Democratic and Republi-
can rule Let us stats the matter in another
way: During the six years from 1861 to
1867, when the Republicans had control OF
the State Government, the State debt was
increased from 80 ,025 900 to IS, ,2N 292.
md the rate of taxation was raised from 90
cents to 1.l3 on each $10O. During four
years of Democratic rule the debt has been
diminished from S., ,224 292 to $3,311 500
md while making this great reduction, the
rate of taxation has been reduced from 81 13
TO S8a cents on each $780, This is mag
niiicent showing for the Democracy and
completely vindicates the party from the
charge of extravaganza so hippantly made
by their political opponents, The people
have reason to congratulate themselves upoi
The wisdom and economy which has charac
terized Governor Haght's administration
Should he be reelected as he unquestiona-
oily will be, the entire State debt will liqui-
lated during the next four years, and the
rate of taxation reduced still further. Dem
ocrats should treasure up these facts and
confound their political opponents with them
whenever they make charges of extravaganza
md faithlessness to the public trusts which
has been confded to their care for the past
toul years. They constitute a complete an
swer to such charges. es.-Sola;o Democrat.
