The Circus and MenaSerie.

We cannot do this subject justice and
We amt going to try to. It's no use.
It's too big thing. We have been peg
ging away at it in weak, inadequate,
Intellectual way for a month or SO, by
times and turns, now tackling the
theme with our own crude materials,
and then bringing in the aid of quota
tons and extracts. There amt any
use a trying. Nothing short Of sight
OF this immense show, close to, with
the naked eye, will do any good. This
morning the band wagon and the caval-
cade, with the big and little spangles
and the animals in their yellow cages,
and the fearless lion-tamer in tine cage
with the king of beasts and all that, to
say nothing of the boys who will run of
errands for the tent-men so as to be en-
titled to dead bead ticket and get ac-
quainted vito the little circus fellers-
well, what's the sense of going on III
this way. Get ticket and 90 in and
take the old woman and the children.
THEArER.-The Mckinley troupe gave
really good entertainment last night at
the Carson Theater. Their audience
might we'll have been larger, but still the
attendance was fair. THE Loan of
Lover" and Rough Diamond were
we'll and smoothly played, and the
dancing and singing in the interlude
We're as good as anybody need ask for. In
short, this is a very good little show
ever SO much better than some shows
about which there's heap of noise and
fustian.
An EXAMINATION of the brain of Viii
liam Putnam, deceased (of paralysis),
made by Doctor Waters, yesterday, dis
covered the fact that the cause of death
was a tumor within the brain-matter as
large as pigeons egg. That part of
the brain lying contiguous to the tumor
was softened. The wonder is, not that
Putnam died SO soon of paralysis, but
that he SO long survived with that tumor
in his most vital part.
A DARK DAY was yesterday. 1t seemed
. good deal more like an old fashioned
down easter than anything we've seen.
Old Prob. Friend says that a. much as
half an inch of rain has fallen since and
during night befoye last. It was 30
twilightish at Aidday that our COM
positors had to use their lamps. This
is very weatherish.

party ranks.
A resolution to limit the Presidential
term Of Office to two terms was voted
down, Gorham opposing 1t.
A resolution was adopted that all clti-
zens, regardless Of color were eptitledt to
equal educational facilities.
Mr. Mcfarland, of Sacramento, intro
duced resolution as substitute
for the railroad plank in the plat
form, holding that while opposed to
subsidy and respass by corporations en-
the rights of the people, it is not polite
to force corporations into politics by
hostile resolutions. He supported his
resolution by a speech.
Gorham followed in a strong speech
scoring and denouncing the railway
company, and declaring that the plank
was only what was calico for, and dis
claiming any hope of further reward to
himself at the hands of the party.
Boruck spoke against the plank in the
platform. Judge Miner, of San Fran
cisco. favored McFarland's substitute.
Dorrance, of Stockton, and Coghlan, of
Vallejo, supported the platform as re-
ported.
On a vote the platform was adopted
as submitted.

resolution in favor of the Mortgage Tax
