OUR Table.

Last week when we bad the returns from
% precnts, we predicted the total vote of
the county at the Judicial election would be
between 1900 and 1900, and ont of that
we felt safe in asserting that Mckinstly
would get at least 1000 votes. 1t will now
be seen from our table which is compiled
from the official returns, that the total voie
Of the county is 1886, and out ef that vote
Mex Kimslrv received l052-lIurrah for
Mckiusiry! This vote shows filling OF
since The September election OF nearly two
thirds, and nearly all those who stayed
away from the polls are Republicans-says
the Argus. 1t matters but little TO US at
present what they are, so long as we have
the proud satisfaction of knowing that our
most worthy candidate, L. w. McKnstry,
beat the railroad ring candidate, Dwinelc
i'll this county, where rings and railroads 50
recently ruled, G6G votes, and got a majority
over both the other candidates of $50
There is no Disgusting the fact, howeverloth
some may be TO acknowledge it, that a
complete revolution in politics has taken
place in Placer county, and the State; and
that this change will be the means of bring
ing about good results, We do not in the
least doubt. There is but one material
danger. The overwhelming victory which
has just crowned the efforts of the hide
pendents, may cause the leaders TO relax
their energies, and its members to become
suddenly Indifferent, and relying too mucl
on the proud victory of the past, may allow
their laurels TO be snatched from their brows
before they are aware of it. But the same
degree of energy and precaulion that es-
tablished the party, will perfeIuate it for
years as an instrument Of good and a source
of freedom and good government for the
people.

THANKSGIVING.

President Grant has issued his annual
Thanksgiving Proclamation, which reads as
follows:
The approaching close of another year
brings with it the occasion for renewed
thanksgiving and acknowledge to tie
Almighty Ruler of the universe for the un-
numbered mercies which He has bestowed
upon us. Abundant harvests have been
among the rewards of industry. With To-
cal exceptions, health has been among the
blessings enjoyed. Tranquility at home
and peace with other nations, have prevail
ed. Frugal industry is regaining its merit
ed recognition and its meried rewards.
Gradually, but under the Providence of
God surely, as we trust, the Nation is re-
covering from the lingering results Of a
dreadful civil strife. For these and all 9th
er merces vouclsafed, it becomes us as a
people to return heartfelt and grateful ac-
acknowledgements; and with our thanksgiv-
ing, we may unite prayers for the cessation
of local and temporary suffering. |, there
fore, recommend that on Thursday, the 9th
day of November next, the people meet in
their respective places of worship, to make
their acknowledgements to Almighty God
for His bounties and His protection, and to
offer to Him prayers for their continuance.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused The seal of the United
States to he affixed.
Done at The City Of Washington, this 18th
day of October, in the year of Our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and seventy
three, and of The Independence Of the
United States the ninety seventh.

Then, is there any wonder the people are
aroused Is it astonishing that they should
burst he bonds which moneyed gods and
naughty tyrants have endeavored to fasten
upon them, and in the name of Independent
People assume the rights which, thank God ,
are yet their own? TO remedy these bur
densome and growing evils in this Sta'e,
the Peopla's Independent party of Califor-
ria stands pledged. But the few individ-
uals elected to Office can not accomplish the
task, which has become herculean, alone.
They must, to te successful, have the aid,
the advice AMI the sympathy of every good
man, and by the aid of God and the
CONSCIOUSNESS of right, we may hope, from
their efforts, soon to see, as said a patriot of
the past, "order springing out Of confusion,
harmony evoked from discord, and peace,
union and liberty once more restored to our
land "

such a concatenation of lies, ard boast of

impulses as the brute, and leads us almost
TO believe that lie is a connecting link, and
that there is something in Darwinism after

LEAKAGE.

The cause of the great increase in the
cost of our State Government in the last
few years can we'll be understood by the
people from the following single instance of
Estate Prson management, taken from the
Examiner: The salary of the Gatekeeper
has recently been increased from $50 to S125
month; that of the Captain of the Guard
from $75 to $3.50; that of the Turnkey
from S125 to $50, and that of the Captain
of the Yard from S125 to $150-a total in
crease in the salaries of the four men of
5000 month, 50 400 a year; residence
constructed for the Warden of the Prison,
at an expense to the State of 81 600, and
one each for the Captain of the Yard and
the Captain of the Guard; employed an
architect at salary of $500 month, and
his son at S. a day with board for both at
the expense of the Stato) for nearly a year,
under pretense of experimenting the fore
mentioned cficial residence, and granted a
sbsidy of 81 GOO for ten years to the Sau
Rafael Water Co.. beng an increase over

Three little words within my brain
Beat back ana forth their one refrain,
Three little words, whose dull distress
Means everything and nothingncss.
Unbidden move my lips instead
OF other uttorsnce: She Is dead.
Here, lingering, we talked Of late
Beside the hodge-grown garden gate;
Till, smiling, ere the twilight fell
She bade me take a last farewell,
Those were the Gnal words she said
But yesterday and she is dead!
I.see the very gown She wore,
The color had praised before;
The swaying length; where she would pass
Made a light rustic ON the grass
There In the porch she turned her head
For one last smile-and she Is deaf
Could have known what was 10 come,
Those hours had not been blind and dumb
/ would have followed close with Death,
Have striven for every glance and breath
But nOw-the final word IL said.
The last look taken she is dead.
We were not loyers-Sueh as they
Who pledge faith TO last for aye.
Yet seems the Universe TO me
A riddle now without key
What means the sunshine overhead.
The bloom below now she l. dead
So new my grief, its sudden hszc
Bewildsrs my accustomed ways;
And yet so old, It secms my heart
Was nevsr from its pain apart
What was and Is and shall be, wed
With that one sentenco-She II dead.

Tho Autumn OF Life.


1t IL the solemn thought connect
ed with middle life, that life's last
business is begun in earnest; and IL
is then, midway between the cradle
and the grave, that a man begins to
marvel that he let the DAYS Of youth
20 by so half enjoyed. II is the
pensive autumn feeling, IL Is the SEN
sation OF half sadness that we ex-
perience when the longest day of
tho year is passed and every day
that follows is shorter, and tho light
fainter, and the feebler shadows,
tell that Nature is fastening with
gigantic footsteps to her winter
grave. So does man look back upon
his youth. When the first gray hairs
become visible, when the unwel-
come truth fastens itself upon the
mind that n man is no longer going
up hill, but down, and that the sun
is always westering, he looks back
on things behind. When we were
children we thought as children,
But now there lies before us man
hood, with its earnest work, and
then old age, and then the grave,
and then home. There is second
youth for man, better and holier
than the first, If he win look on, and
not look back.

Flowers are full of language, as
they are sometimes full of dew
drops and honey. Souls go flutter-
ing to them as the bees; and they
express the care and love OF God for
us. Leave all the rest and take
these, and / think we should know
do. They constitute one Of the fea-
lures of God. We see a man in the
flesh, that he uses for a body; in the
books he roads, in the trees he
plants, we read him in his features.
SO wo find in flowers an expression
OF the nature Of God, the delicate
flush of his love; the tenderest fra
