Bribery and Corruption ~ the "Rlns"
Ranks Of MOngrelism In flacer County.

Aye, it must be so, 70, the Stripes charg-
es it on the other Republican ring, and points
out very plainly who the men are that are
corruptly trying to defeat its men, and
strangely charges us with. or, thanks us for
having written something that compels it to
blow on the corruptions in its own party.
The article is too long for our columns or We
would give it in full But to the g'st Of this
Republican corruption as charged by the
Stripes, and the knowledge Of which had
been hanging heavily on our neighbor's con.
science for months. Some months ago a
, rich man in San Francisco offered leading
Republican Of this county s. 900 to spend
in beating Sargent in Placer, and this latter
revealed the rrupt monstrous plot to the
Stripes editor. Soon after, a prominent pol
I itician from ncighboring county look out
Capl visited Auburn, 1--WE saw him. and
notified the Stripes editor Of formidable
combination of men and corruption money to
beat Sargent, and as good as told Mr.. Sell
kirk that if be would join the cerruptionists
til ut lie should have handsome Office or
big pile Of money. A little later, Tuttle
was announced for Congress, and the Stripes
editor was credibly informed that the rich
San Franciscan was at work for Tuttle.
These are serious, very serious charges, and
point SO plainly to individual Republicans
that they cannot pass them uncontradicted,
without acknowledging their own guilt. But
the STR pes revelations do not stop here, for
the article proceeds:
"IVe knom, assert and can prore that a
county candidate who is avowedly for Tuttle
has attempted to prejudice voter against
one of his competitors, on the ground that
said competitor was for Sargent. We also
know that at least one other prominent coun
ty candidate has been sought to be prejudic-
ed against Sargent, on the ground that the
latter and bis friends were in combination in
favor of a competing candidate"
The italics are ours.
The Stripes editor, little further down in
the article, broadly asserts that he has been
offered remuneration to oppose SARGENT
a direct offer of bribe. Treating the allie
cations Of the Stripes as true, we do give the
editor credit for making them public, and
yet we cannot devest our mind of the fact
that the exposure is to rebound to the bcne
fit of the editor friends in the same proper
lion it Injuries the other wing Of the party,
and in that sense, is not entirely free from
'eishness. Reader, You must remember
hat this is but one side Of the case and that
he other side must be heard before judg-
nent is pronounced

BURsrEp Hornets NEST. We had a
little thirty-fve line article under side-head, ,
giving in the fewest possible words what was
public talk on the streets of the doings ard
designs of one of the Republican "rings" in
this county, in onr paper last week, which,
it seems, bursted hornets nest in the center
Of th,t little ring This little item made
stars shoot from our neighbor's eyes, and in
his blind rage he imagined it a leader Of i'm
mense proportions, though there was long
er article in the paper and under a proper
leader heading, That we should shake the
meal off the cat was our terrible offense and
for this the the wcak-minded crazy-brained
litor Of the Stripes gets down, bellows and
throws dirt like young Bovine, and howls
out that We have neither sense, education,
or breeding. Our poor ncighbor, who il
walled in with lifctimes dirt ought not
tempt lis TO kick it over on him. We never
questioned the right Of Sargent, Dodd, Yule
and Selkirk doing what ever they pleased
and said. in our previous item that "all goe
men should pray for their success in Coz.
ton" that the public might, if possible, be-
come more disgusted with tn. ring spoils
party. That terrible friendship between oul
neighbor and Mr.. iule, strengthened by
agonizins ordeals may, they not being rela
tions Of ours, culninatc in downright free.
lovesm, for all we care; this, however, woult
leave Dodd and Sargent out in the cold, and
might lead to double crime. Seriously
if our neighbor don't feel ashamed Of his ar
ticle every time he thinks Of it or refers t,
it, we must conclude there rs more hope 70
fool than him.

This beautiful and popular song or ballad il
said to have had its origin under the following
circumstances, which give il additional interest
'SOme years ago, when Woodwork, the prin-
ter, and several other "Old New Workers, were
brother typos in a printing Office, which was
situated at the corner of Chestnut street and
Chambers, there were very few places in the city
of New York where one could enjoy the luxury Of
a really 'good drink" Among the the few pla-
most worthy of patronage, was an establish
ment kept by Mallory, Oh Franklin street, on OF
about the same spot where st. Johns Hall recent
ly stood. Woodwork, in company with several
particular friends, had ''droppd in" at this place
one afternoon, for the purpose of taking some
"brandy and water, which Mallory was famous
for keeping.
"The liquor was super-excellent, and Wood
worth seemed inspired by it; for, after taking a
draught, he laid his glass upon the table (remem-
Der, reader, if You please that in those "rare old
times, . man rarely met friend without invi-
ting him to imbibe), and smacking his lips declar-
ed that MallOry's de rie was superior to any
thinghe ever tasted "No, said NJ, !'you are quite
mistaken; there was one thing which, in both of
our destinations, far surpassed this, in the way Of
obviously. "The draught of pure, fresh spring
bucket that hung in the well, after our return from
the labors of the field on sultry day in summer. {"
"The tear-drOp glistened for a moment in Wood
worth's eye. "True! true" he replied, and soon
after quilted the place. He returned to the Of
flee, grasped the pen, and in half an hour "The
Old Oaken Bucket" one of the most delightful
compositions in our language, was ready, in man
uscript, to he embalmed in the memories of sue
ceeding generations.

Even.ful history Of a Co1orca Man.

Henry Van Meter, whose death at Bangor
Maine, at the advanced age of 40 years, is re-
ported, was one of the most interesting colOre,l
men in the country. During the Revolutionary
War he was a slave of Governor Nelson, of Vir-
ginia. After the close of the war he was sold and
taken west of the Blue Ridge, to the extreme
frontier, whence he made his escape to Cincin-
natl, then mere hamlet. He became the ser
want of an officer in st. Clairs army, and saw
much dangerous service in the Northwest. After
the peace of 1875, he lived for time in Chilli
cOthe, Ohio, and then removed to Philadelphia,
where he was sent to school for the first time by
some members of the Society of Friends, and lear
ned tOrea and write at the age of forty. He subse-
quently made several voyages to Europe as a
common sailor, and on the outbreak of the war of
1912 shipped as such in the privateer Lawrence.
He was captured, sent to Plymouth, England and
confined for some time in DartmOor, where he
witnessed the massacre of 1915. Many years ago
he took up his residence in Bangor, where he lived
an industrious and respected life, in the almost
unimpaired enjoyment Of his faculties of mind and
body to the time of his death.

atsfful aud Curious.
New u Can GRAPES.

1t may not be generally known to our readers
that grapes can be kept just rs easily rs tomatoes
peaches or anything else. Such however is the
fact. We have put them up in our family fol-
years, and regard them among the most val
liable Of all our canned fruits. Tie following Is
our plan, which, with us, has always been sue.
cessful: Take fully ripe grapes. wash them and
pick them from the stems, and pack them into
glass jars. Set the jars about half or ourths
their length, into vessel Of water on the fire,
and Let them remain till the steam issues freely
from the jars, then seal in canning other fruits
The jars will need to be frequently replenished,
as during the heating process the grapes will draw
juice and settle. This may be assisted by gently
pressing the grapes with spoon, and it will be
unnecessary to add any water. They do not need
any sugar in canning, and q mere sprinkling Of
powdered sugar when dished for the table, is all
that is necessary. 1t takes good while for them
to heat thoroughly, but they need no watching,
and are therefore prepared with less trouble than
most fruit.-LArrepce Journal
