THE Marysville Standard openly opposes the
nomination of Haight because he has not been
Democrat long enough. We think he has been
a member of that party about as long as the edi-

SNOW FLAKES.
BY LoNGFELLOw.

Out Of the bosom of the air,
Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaker
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
over the harvest fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.
Even as our cloudy fances take
Suddenly shape in some divine expression,
Even as the troubled heart doth make
In the white countenance confession,
The troubled sky reveals
The grief it feels.

REMEMBER, BOYS MAKE MEN.

When you see a ragged urchin
Standing wistful in the street,
With torn hat and kneeless trowsers,
Dirty face aud bare red feet,
Pass not by the child unheeding;
Smile upon him. Mark me, when
He's grown he'll not forget it,
For, remember, boys make men.
When the buoyant, youthful spirits
Overflow in boyish freak,
Chide your child in gentle accents;
Do not in your enger speak.
You must SOW in youthful bosoms
Seeds OF tender mercy; then
Plants will grow and bear good fruitage
When the erring boys are men.
Have you never seen grandsire,
With his eyes aglow with joy,
Bring to mind some act of Kindness
Something said to him, boyi
Or relate some slight or coldness,
With brow all clouded, when
He said they were too thoughtless
To remember boys made men.
Let us try to add some pleasure
To the life of every boy;
For each child needs tender interest
In its sorrow and its Joy
Call your boys home by its Brightness
They avoid a gloomy den,
And seek for comfort elsewhere.
And remember, boys make men.

A DEMOCRATIC OPINIoE.-The Democrats have
given up all hope of wheedling the German pop
ulation of this country into a support of their
party, and now turn to and abuse them upon the
slightest pretense. AS a specimen of the Demo-
cratic style of denunciation, we extract the fol-
lowing from the San Francisco Examiner, of Jan
uary 3Oth:
1t is a passing strange sight to witness that of
a tOrchlight procession in free country, in
glorfcation of the triumphs of imperial despot-
ism over republicanism. Prussia, next to Rus
sia, is the most despotic nation in Europe. The
will of the Emperor is omnipotent He has just
succeeded in crushing republic, which con
tributed most materially, in men and money, to
build up upon these shores political institutions
founded upon the grand idea of the right and
pacity of the people to govern themselves. We
have Just passed through bloody civil war
with the avowed purpose of re-asserting that
great idea, and preserving the institutions thus
established in all their integrity. And yet, in
the face of these things, gunpowder is to be
burned in our streets, and fires kinded, and
pyrotechnics set off, and the atmosphere TO be
made resonant with jubilant shouts of triumph
over the fall of a sister republic. What is the
meaning of this2 Are these men sick of free
Government Do they wish to see these States
absorbed in one great military despotism, with
an imperial Kaiser at lt5 heau. leutonlc
speaker the other night in his enthusiasm
claimed that Germany is the mistress of the
world" Is the torch-light tonight over the
fall of republican France movement for imperi-
alism here2 Is this insult to free institutions
designed to place the United States in political
accord with the German Empire?
We did not, therefore, expect to see the time
come quite so soon when an open demonstration
would be made in our streets in favor of impe-
ria mant in lori If a do cd
den, murdered republic. But these are fast
times, and we must make up our mind not to be
surprised at anything. Let people who believe
in Democratic institutions keep dark tonight for
imperialism will be abroad.

| THE SUFFRAGE CoNvENTIoN.-In the San Fran
cisco Pioneer, of February I'd, we find the fol-
lowing regarding the Women Suffrage Conven-
| ton lately holden in that city. 1t is addressed
g to the Press outside of San Francisco" and
we copy the article in full
We furnish in this number of the Pioneer a
truthful and somewhat extended report of the
First Annual Meeting of the California Woman
Suffrage Society, holden in this city on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday of last week 1t was
not mass meeting for an array of numbers or
| the display of eloqueuce. 1t was meeting of
delegates for consultation, for deiberation, and
for business. AS such, it was well attended.
1t was one of the most earnest, orderly, united
and harmonious convocations we ever attended.
The reporters so ridiculed, falsihed and belitted
| its numbers character and proceedings, that it
was deemed but an act of justice to the Conven-
ton, by some OF the more sensitive of the coun-
| try delegates, TO notice the same by resolution.
This action was considered unwomanly by these
city Press falsiders of womans cause. They
want the privilege of deftming, and then to
blackball those who have the boldness and cour-
age to expose and denounce the falsehood. The
only profane, rude and indecent action in the
Convention came from the city reporters of the
Press
Having said this much, we now call upon the
members of the Press, outside of San Francisco,
to contradict through their columns, the false
and defamatory statements of the city Press,
which circulates all over the Pacific Coast.
This may seem trlfing matter to some, but we
beg to assure such, that to the women engaged
in the ballot enterprise, the reputation of their
cause is as sacred as their own. We ask it
therefore not only as an act of justice to the
public, which has a right to be correctly in
formed as to the character and status of great
| political movement, but also to those who are
earnestly labOring to secure to women emanci-
patton and political enranchsement.
