The railroad bridge across the

States Army Engineer. The
steamboat Mohave was hltched up,
aud took him down the river
through the draw and back, to
show him that the bridge presents
no obstruction to navigation of the
river. Col. Stewart expressed no
opinion, but of course he must
have been satisfied on this point,
and will undoubtedly report to that
effect. He has been stationed in
San Francisco for the past light
years, in charge of United States
improvements, Notifications, etc.
1t was he who let the contract to
Johnson and Schuyler for turning

A Badly Scared Editor.

Cincinnati Break fast Tablet
An editor was sitting in his easy
chair, buoyant in mind and heart,
with the calm serenity and blissful
tranquility that none but editors
know. A shutting sound at the
door brought him back to earth,
and facing nervously about, he be-
held a man of deep, determined
look, closing the door behind him.
With sickly feeling of foreboding,
the editor motioned toward q chair,
and gazed upon the intruder help.

meet the worst.
The hand of the man wandered
toward his breast pocket. The edl-
itor's cheek blanched and his lips
turned blue. Alas! alas! he has
guessed Alright the mission of the
stranger.
The old man pulled out a bundle
Of letters and papers. The head of
the editor fell forward upon his
breast and his hands dropped list
less from the arms of his chair.
"My errand is not a pleasant
one" said the visitor speaking
slowly.
"Thank HeavenW exclaimed the
editor, plucking up courage.
"Out with it-suspense is worse
than fate.n
II have an execution on your
home" continued the man, with
professional sadness. "That mort
gage has been foreclosed."
"Hoora! ha! ha! hap roared the
editor. springing up and nearly
shaking the mans arm off.
Heaven be praised! but, Lord,
what a scarce you gave me! Blister

The San Francisco Call occa-
sionally utters sentiment notable
for its masculine energy. The
other day it acquitted itself of the
hazardous utterance that the DEM
ocratic party, except for the Potter
Investigation, had a chance of elect.
ing the next President of the Uni
ted States. "a chance" is an in
definite phrase. 1t is one thing in
ten thousand or in one hundred
thousand. 1t may represent a per-
cenlage SO small as to necessitate
the use of whole rows of decimals.
The Call has not charged Its read
ers anything for the expression Of
this bold and luminous sentiment,
and it is not probable that they
would have paid much for it il it
had. Whatever success the DEM
ocratic party may achieve in the
future will be perfectly independ-
ent of the Call, and in spite of it.
The republican party, in the next
Presidential campaign, will raise
by far the largest campaign fund of
any of the contestiDg organiZa-
tions. That fact will at once de-
termine where the Call will be
found. We think the Democratic
party has not only chance but
decided chances for success in the
next Presidential election, the Call
and other parasitic journals to the
contrary notwithstanding. If q
fearless ius estigation into the most
notable and anti-republican frauds
Oh record will xii! the Democratic
party we desire to see 1t die in the
last ditch, and hope the distance it
Is from that last ditch may be
measured by an ell. When the
Democratic House of Representa-
tives hears the screams and curses
OF its opponents ring out most
loudly 1t may be sure that 1t is

No party ever made more of

can in its opposition to the Potter

Glow down." and every move in
the House of Representatives from
the Republican side was that of
political shysters. 1t is pleasant
to know that our opponents were
met with an unrivaled skill and
determination by the Democratic
leaders, and were beaten at every
point. The Democratic party is
giving every indication of having
recovered its old-time vigor and

of its approaching undisputed gu

A Manifest Absurdity.

is manlfestly absurd TO claim for a
mere stimulant tonic and Alternative
properties. Yet this is what is daily
done by the vendors of cheap local Bit
ters, colorsd to make them look attrac.
tive. and agreeably favored, but the al
coholic basis of which Is OF the yllest and
most hurtful description. The tran
scendant success of Hestetter's Stomach
Bitters, the leading Alternative tonic of
the United States, has induced many of
these compounders OF drains in disguise
to attempt the counterfelting of this
standard medicine, but their efforts have
never proved successful on q large scale,
and they have themselves in many in
stances VIGOROUSLY "come to grief"
through the instrumentality of the law.
The genuine Bitters have, indeed, a
spirituols basis, but they are emphatical-
ly a medicine, since their botanic ingredi-
ents are signally efficacious in overcom-
ing and preventing chills and fever dys-
pepsia, liver complaint, constipation,
and many other disorders.

THE suggestion of the name OF
the editor of the Express for dele
gate to the Constitutional Conven-
ton from this district seems to
evoke an unanimity of sentiment
from the press OF this section
which the San Jose Convention
will doubtless heed. The last nu N .
Der of the Ventura Signal says:
Mr.. J. J. Ayers, of the Los An.
geles Express, is prominently
spoken of as a candidate for dele
gate to the Constitutional Conven-
ton. No man stands higher
among his fellow journalists than
Mr.. Ayers. He is true man and
we hope he may be chosen as del
egate. He is honest and hates
fraud and corruption and if sent
will do good service for the State
of which he has so long been val
liable and honored citizen.
The last number Of the Cotton
Semi. 7ropic adds:
Col. James j. Ayers, of the Los
Angeles Express, is talked OF as
candidate for the Constitutional
Convention. While the Colonel is
not thoroughly liberal in all his
views, We believe he would make a
good man for that place, and Los
Angeles will do herself honor if
she is represented by so worthy
man.

FROM Judge Venable, who has
capital opportunities for form
ing correct judgment, we learn
that the crops in the Los Nletos
and Compton districts never looked
better than now. Especially is
this true of the wheat, which is in
an absolutely perfect state of for
wardness. In these two districts
there are about thirty-five hundred
acres of wheat. 1t includes the
section tributary to Les Nietos
and extending from Compton TO
Wilmington. The wheat crop of
the San Fernando valley also never
looked better. From no section OF
the county have We heard a word
that speaks Of danger to the wheat
crop. AS there are from twenty.
three to twenty-five thousand acres
planted in this cereal, this fact
speaks we'll for The balance of trade
in this section this fall. From
seven hundred thousand to a mil
lion bushels OF wheat may be
looked for. Judge Venable also
assures us that the barley is in
capital order. Take it for all in
all, We are justified in expecting q
speedy return to prosperity In Los
Angeles county, although the abb
sorption of the farmer in the labors
of harvesting may for the moment
make matters seem q little dull In
the city.

Sound Democratic Ac,Ion-The Adj
lOurnment.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The vote
by which the House To-Day mega
lived the action of the Committee
of the Whole and restored to the
Army Appropriation bill the clause
reducing the army to 10000 men
was surprise to both parties. 1t
resulted from the temporary alb
sence of four or five Republicans
who had left the capitol without
pairing, not anticipating that the
bill would be so soon reported to
the House for final action. An
amendment providing for the trans
fer of the Indian management to
the War Department., which was
adopted after a remarkably short
discussion, received the votes of
nearly all the Democrats, including
Wigginton, and was opposed by all
but a half dozen Republicans, Page
being one Of the exceptions.
The Senate concurrent resolution
proposing an Adjournment on June
10th, will come up for action by the
House next Wednesday, and the
Democrats intend to caucus on the
subject tomorrow evening. A de-
termination will probably be
reached to again postpone action
on the resolution.
