CONFESSION WHICH IOTTER
DOES NOT APPRECIATE.

The great farce is rapidly drawing to
an end. and we do not wonder that
GARRISON n. Potter has retired in dis
gust from the Committee on Revolution.
and left one Of his fellow Democrats to
preside in his place. The testimony OF
the man Anderson sent thrill Of shame
through the nation, that our boosted
Republican freedom could develop such
a m~onstrosity in human form. The
evidence OF Mrs. jerks on Saturday wa
Of such q character as to ~convulse the
nation with a fit OF uncomfortable
laughter. Here was the famous woman
upon whose testimony the Democrats
were going to impeach John Sherman.
and drag him down from the high posi-.
ton which he had gained in public es.
tesm. to infamy and the contempt Of
the world. This was the woman who
had. according to Anderson. secured the
original OF the Sherman letter. and We
confidently looked for the prelude to u
tragedy when she made her appearance
before that $40. 900 assembly Of august
Democrats in Washington.
The little woman comes, and 10! the
expected tragedy becomes a farce! She
is called on with dignihed confidence
to produce the Sherman letter. and in.
stead Of complying. she produces a
confession! Now confessions have
been q favorite stock in trade OF Mr..
Potter and his committee. for the past
few weeks. but this little woman's con-
fession seems not to have touched q
tender spot in the Democratic breast.
The fact is. she is confessing on the
wrong side. and the worst feature OF
il Is that she has never. like Anderson
and McLin, sworn to the exact contrary
OF what she now states. When. there
fore, she confesses that John Sherman
never heard OF the so-called Sherman
letter, never saw II, aud therefore could
not have written it. this model commit
tee who are so Jealous to establish
truth. cannot convict her Of perjury, as
the Republicans have done with the
noble army OF eonfossors who preceded
her. II il hard for the Committee
ON Revolution. but the situation is too
ludricrous to allow any feeling OF pity
for its dilemma to stihe the laughter
which the circumstances inspire. This
Internal woman has killed the investi-

THE MOUNT DAVIDSON FLAGSTAFF.

The failure to establish . flagstaff on
the summit Of Mount Davidson ysstsr-
day was q very annoying rs well q $ IN
propitious episode. yet from the expert
encs Of the occasion some little wisdom
should be learned and applied to the
future. 1t could not be successfully
erected yesterday by reason Of Its "
great weight causing 1t to bend out Of
shaps and almost break in hosting 1t
upright with the derrick. Even were
IL safely erected and secured by the
proper guys. /, would not be efficient.
The upper section for a distance Of
over 40 feet would have to DO kept clear
Of guys in order to givsthe dag free play.
and this section being made OF three
inch sas-pipe. as large at one end IS the
other. would OF necessity DO top-hsavy.
and would sway around too much in the
strong winds with the large glass globe
on top. even without the dag.
A wooden polo would be far superior.
Il might DO considered rather late now
to procure such q pole before the Fourth
Of July, yet it could be done. There
are plenty Of just such fiasstaffs Is is
wanted. to be found even at the old
wsyside hotels on the Sierra Nevada
stage roads, the Plaeerville route for In
stance, and NO doubt a good n could
be procured at q reasonable price which
would DO Just the thing. II would be
well seasoned. light. and easily transport.
Cd and handled. Saw 1t of close to the
ground. and by tarring or otherwise pre-
pairing the butt before planting 1t again.
Il would Last many years. Moreover.
We would suggest that the flagstaff would
be better in two pieces. A stout lower
mast could be planted with great facility
and irmness, having stays or shrouds
extending away to tho rocks on each
side Of the peak. and from the "main
top"a handsome hag.pole or topmast
could DO scnt up to any desired hight
with very little trouble, and perfect
security. There. too. in that main top.
could the halyards be securely Delayed
out Of the reach Of mischievous persons.
Whoever had charge Of raising the flag
on any required occasion could have his
" arrangements for climbing to the
top. II anything went wrong with the
halyards at any time. 1t would not be a
difficult matter to send down the top
mast and send it up again. same Al Is
done ON shipboard. We throw out
these suggestions as q good solution Of
the problem. II not the best and most
eligible.
We are informed that the reason
assigned for the bending Of the pipe ON
this occasion was that there happened
TO b . soft place in it, which defect Of
course could not well DO discovered
until the trial test Of its efficiency
was made. We also are informed
that a better. stronger and larger
section OF pipe will be substituted
which il to be filled in solid with Ore
son pine. This. 1t is thought, will 10
effective. and tho managers say they
will raise the pole successfully next
Sunday. They have our sineersst wishes
that ii may DO a perfect success in every
respect. Notwithstanding our opinion
and preference as stated above.

A gentleman well acquainted with the
culture and care of tea, and who Is well
qualified to pronounce upon the practical
bility of cultivating tea in this country,
visited Washington last week 20 inspect
the hundred thousand tea plants growing
in the propagating houses OF the agricul-
tural department. This gentleman ex-
presses the utmost confidence in the sue
cess of the plans for cultivating and cur
ing the tea plant, and is surprised that tea
culture did not long ago become a profit
able branch OF American industry. 1t is
his opinion, founded on a long experience
and study, that two-thirds of the labor
expended in China is useless; and that
with one-tenth of the ingenuity display ed
in the invention at the cotton gin, macbln-
ery can be devised here which will super
sede every hand manipulate II except that
of the picking and which will produce
results more uniform and OF Il better quail
ty than can be otherwise arrived at.

the streets, OF the stone teams and interests, fol
cutting and grinding up everything that has bee u

however, that we must accept the condition as we
accept the hard times.
We see some cheerful frees around the city who
bear the hard times with stoical fortitude, either
because their store is ample, or their hopes are
great. Either will do for the hard times but
neither helps the poor man, when he can find no
means of earning dollar, or obtain one ray OF
hope.
Perhaps. however, the happiest man in town is
cratic mayor, and some ten members of city gov

elect said officers, or the Republican whose vote
taken from his own party counted two for the dem
