the Democratic party and of the mag

the Democratic party and of the mag
nanimity of the Republic.
The Herald says, editorially: Scarce
a day has passed in these times of in
vestigation but some reputation hon.
ored in the sight of the nation has fall
len down In loathsome ashes at the
merest touch. Since Belknap's infa-
my burst upon the country, and in
deed, long before, the vultures of COR
ruption have been seen lowering and
circling close about the President, yet
large majority have charitably
hoped and believed that, near as the
taint of evil came to him, he at least
might come out unsmirched. 1t is to
be feared this hope will prove falla-
cious.
THE REVELATIONS MADE
before the Committee of the House,
investigating the expenditures in the
Department of Justice, show the Pres
ident to have been the author of raid
upon the Treasury whose unwarranta-
BILE shamelessness even the witness
has not the cnurage to defend. This
is great blow to the President. AS
to Williams and Davenport, they have
no characters to lose that they would
be likely to grieve over, or any one
else for them; but to the President,
who surely counts on a respected
memory, this discovery must prove as
great shock as it will prove to the
country at large.
The 7ribune's Washington cores
pondent confirms the story briefly, but
it was evidently too late for editorial
comments.
The Sun has the story in full with,
out comment.
The Times says, editorially, that
Bristow is evidently coming to the
front rank as Observation-Disclosures.
According to our Washington cores
pom dent,
PAID DETECTIVES
are on mis- track, watching his COM
ings and goings, and persons who
have gained undesirable prominence
in connection with whisky trials and
the safe burglary business are indus
triously spying into obscure corners
of his history with the benevolent in
tention of proving him to have some
affinity with themselves. Bristow
has so far been fortunate enough not
only to afford prompt and conclusive
disproof of the charges against him,
but he has also been able to confute
the slanderous imputations before the
Democrats, who were carefully nurs-
ing them, had time to give them to
the world. The industrious accusors
of the Secretary of the Treasury are
doing substantial service to the Re-
publican party. We wish that Blaine
would initiate Bristow's promptitude
and frankness in disposing of the
charges which are so industriously cir
culated in regard to him. One of
these charges has been but half eX
cused and shows a tendency to stick.
1t is that for which Harrison, Gov
ernment Director of the Union Pacific
railroad is responsible, and about
which, it is alleged, the whole story
has not been told Harrison is ready
to 60 before the Congressional Com
mittee with his statement, and it is to
be hoped that, some way or other, his
accusation will be got out and fairly
met by Blaine.

OF those who have read the Act cre-

OF those who have read the Act cre-
ating Board of Public Works in this
city we have not heard of single tax
payer that objects to the law. The OBJ
lection, so far as we can learn, comes
from those whose names do not ap-
pear on the tax roll and who never OF
their own free will and accord con tri-
buted a single dollar to the funds of
the city. The universal verdict is
that however defective the law may be
and however imperfectly it may be ad-
ministered it cannot but be an i'm
provement on the old system of red
tape circumlocution and great deal of
money for very little service. But
the law is not defective and there is
no danger of it being carelessly ad-
ministered. 1t will not be long be-
fore the few opponents it now has will
be numbered among its warmest sup
portels.

rheumatism & Liver Complaint,

May hail with joy the advent in their midst
of these wonderful medicines, which the Doc
tor has labored for years to perfect, as a spe-
cific for the above diseases.
You that are suffering at once cast aside
your prejudice, derived, and justly, from re-
peated failures. We ask that your hopes may
revive, at least sufficiently to give this medi-
cine one fair trial. We feel bound 10 do our
duty, and in justice to DR.. Clark and the suf-

the undersigned residents of this county and

perience, and we assert most emphatic ally
the efficacy of the above medicines Is irrefu-

ponder ever these remarks, but II the candid
truth from our lips robs them of their incre-
dullty sufficiently to place themselves, with
kindling hope, under the treatment of DIR.

San Francisco News.


SAN FRANCISCO, 2Oth.-A meeting
of the Stockholders of the Changers
Business Association, was held yes
terday for the election of directors for
the ensuing year, and to receive the
report of the old Board. After very
satisfactory report from the old Board
they held an election for the directors
which resulted as follows: d Inman,

Pursuant to notice that there was a
meeting of boot and shoemakers at
Irish American Hall, last evening
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose ofexposing those firms who have
heretofore advertised the discharge of
Cinnamon and substitution of white
men. The President then called Mr..
Einstein of the firm of Einstein Bros.
who it very soon transpired had man
aged to pack the me ting and adver-
tise the great Chinese employment
house to which he belongs. The house
he said had been employing $50 Chi
namen and they had discharged so of
them and put white men in their pla-
ces. In two or three weeks they
would not have Chinaman in the
shop. Gallatin, shoemaker who
had applied for work pursuant to this
advertisement and was promptly
refused attempted to contradict
this statement, but as soon as his OBJ
ject was made known he was prompt
ly ordered to sit down, by the chair
man, who evidently was an Einstein
man. After some desultory talk, in
which the Eirsteiners had it all their
own way, the meeting dwindled to
nothing, pegging out without the
ceremony of adjourning. .
At second meeting of the dissatis-
| fled stockholders of the Leopard Min.
ing Company, held last night, the
committee reported they had exam
ined the books but found no crooked
ness, and the report implied that the
officers of the company were all right,
and had done their duty. However,
| some dissatisfaction was manifested
with the management, and a COM
mittee was appointed to get stock
