The San Francisco Examiner has
no doubt of the democrats carrying
California, and gives this view of the
canvass in thai state.
At no time fog years has the success
of the democratic party been so as
sured We are receiving from all
parts Of the state the most encouraging
reports. Immense crowds attend
every democratic meeting. Demo
cratic clubs are being formed in almost
every precinct, and for no campai n
since the days of Broderick has the
party been so thoroughly organized
A number of earnest men have
heretofore abstained from any active
participation in politics have come "a
the front. Men who have never been
seen at a political meeting or ward
club, are now regular attendants, The
workingmen, understanding the Chi.
nese question more intelligently and
appreciating more keenly than any
other class, are almost to a man fol
Hancock and English. No working
man, honestly opposed to Chinese i'm
migration, could do otherwise The
greatest harmony, confidence and
enthusiasm prevail in the demo
cratic ranks. The belief that thif
state was carried for Hayes in 1915
by the most outrageous frauds is az
universal az the determination to pun
ish that outrage by an overwhelming
democratic minority. Almost every
democrat we meet can name one OF
more in his circle Of acquaintance:
who, heretofore affiliating with tn,
republican party, will vote for Han
cock. Upon the other hand, there arr
no desertions from our ranks. Th'
republicans are quarreling amonl
| themselves, divided into cliquas anC
rings, each hungrily desirous Of finger
| ing the coin which the republican
managers are exactiBg from Fedora
office holders, and in mutual charges
and eountercharges as TO the honest!
and fealty Of the other.

camp stools, part Of the forward deck

graining and evidently belonging to a
passenger steamer, were washed ashore

small portion of the promenade deck

changed its form from that Of qusrto

columns to the page. This will
doubtless suit most Of its readers
better. Besides, the paper is en-

greatly improved in appearance. The

THE STORE LOAFER.

The glorious sun setteth in the west
he hldeth his face behind the hills; he
goeth down amid bright-hued colors he
cometh not up again until the morning
he leaveth all things in darkness, yea,
darkness and gloom covereth the earth.
About this time cometh together the
tribe of loafers at a place where mer-
chandise is wont to be sold their souls
yearn within them for companionsh1p
one with another; even as the carrion
crows cometh together at a carcass, so
gathereth these sons of Esau; verify
they selleth their birthrights for small
messes of sinful pottage; they COM
menteth upon the characters of godly
men and calleth them Damned Head
Lights" and such like; they profane
the name of the Most High and re-
gardeth Him not with reverence or res
pect. They looketh upon woman as she
cometh in to trade and gazeth rudely
and exceedingly long at her, and think
eth in their hearts of the comely pro-
portions of her body, yea, their hearts
burn with lustful desires toward her,
and after she goeth out they giveth ex-
preston to their evil thoughts; they
delighteth in every filthy thing, even as
the hog walloweth in the mire, and feel
eth exceedingly satisfied with self.
And | looked and saw that all this
worked i'll for the business of the mer-
chant, for many good women burst not
go in any more to trade because of the
rudeness of these creatures. And | saw
that the merchant had not courage sufi-
cient to drive out these sons of Belial
And | looked again to see after what
manner of posture in which they dis
posed of their bodies about the place !;

Neu,aIeia-A Re,narlkabIc Cure.

on Compound Oxygen. After reading

such men as Judge Kelley, L. S. Arthur,
and others, felt that if these were genu-
inc, there must be real merit in the RENE
dy. / then ordered the remedy
sent to my daughter in Kansas. That was
about one year ago, and since using the
supply then ordered, my daughter has not
only not had neuralgia, but considers her
self in perfect health. Regard
ing my daugher as having, through the
blessing of God, been permanently cured
of as stubborn case of neuralgia as it is
possible for auy person to be afflicted
with and live, by the use of your Com

THE ABUSE OF PAIN.

The little nerves of feeling which run
through all parts of the human body
carry to the brain intelligence of disaster
and pleasure. The evil messages they
bring are called pains.
A pain admonishes us that some in
jury is done to some part of the body.
a finger cut, an arm burned or some
part is overworked or wearied, and
must have rest. The nerves but do
their duty, when they report faithfully
these things, our duty is to repair the
mischief which caused the nerves to re-
port in the way of pain. But many
persons are annoyed by these evil mes
sages, and only seek to silence the mes
senger. The Immediate call is for
something to ''still PAIN Fortunately.
the means employed are such as to cor
rect the evil at once, and SO put an end
to the trouble reported by the nerves.
Especially is this the case when cold
water is applied to cuts and burns-the
relief and the cure begin and 60 on sim
ultaneously. The same result is usually
attained when hot water applications
(or fomentations) are made to bruises
or sharp pains of any kind. Pain, which
results from overriding of any kind, is
most reasonably "stilled" by rest
generally rest of the whole body, and
especially rest of the overworked part.
Anything that tends to equalizing the
circulation of the blood, or to make all
parts of the body comfortably warm and
no warmer, helps to set the nerves at
rest, or to stop pain and disease.

One evening-oh, that evening! A

cooed in the distant wood and the robin
twlttered to her young brood amid the
milky bloom of the orchard. Gods love

about her rosy face. "How-de do, pap

reached the mans feet.
He stopped and raised her in his
arms and then glanced on me. And
such glance-such face Pale, hag-
