President Picking.

New York. 9.-The Times belistles
Sherman's presidential candidacy and
shows how he captured North Cardinals
republican committee by falsehood. The
Times declares that in Ohio his strength
is moderated, aud that "boom" is to
be started room artifcially.
The Tribune has q dispatch from It's
resident Washington correspondent, who
has letters and kilograms from all over
the state showing that Blaine is the first
choice of New York republican,.
The democrats at Washington, accord
ing to the Tribune correspondent, care
only for two things, first, TO elect some
body, and, second, to take care, if pos
sible, that that somebody shall not be
Tilden. As for questions of govern
ment policy, they care nothing for them.
One -spoils-perfectly defines all
the policy they care much about
The Suns Washington says: Field de-
clines to be the democratic candidate for
President and that the people of his
section, the Pacific Coast, are for Tilden,
and in the same paper Tilden man says
Tilden is cut Of the race for physical
reasons, bat fails to say what his physical
incspacities are.
The Times Washington correspondent
states that Judge Lochrane, who is the
great counsel for southern states OF
the Pullman Palace Car Company,
now in Washington, say the sup
porters of Grant through the south are
among the business men and far
more numerous than is supposed
There is a solid conviction among thi:
class, he said, that Grant will beat any
candidate the democrats may nominate,
The next census will increase the western
representation largely, and the south will
fail back into hopeless minority and
sectionslism will then virtually destroy
the south. The prejudice sgainst the
south is not only political, it is general.
Immigrants travel through Wisconsin to
go to Kansas. We must by statesman
chip change these results, or we must
recede.

Fine CalIfornIa ColIeetOrship.

Washington, S.-Since Mr.. Morton s
nomination as collector Of internal rev.
enue for the First California District was
rejected it has been ascertained that the
President, in making this nomination,
not only disregarded the protest of the
California delegation, but also overruled
the written accommodation of the COM
missioner of internal revenue, who Off
c;ally advised him to appoint as Higby's
successor, congressman Charles Clay
ton. The department still favors Clay
toms appointment. Commissioner Rsum
is firmly of the opinion that Collector
Highly should be replaced with some
more competent man, for without in the
least impugning Higby's integrity or his
former capacity, the department believes
that his faculties land especially his mem
ory) have been so seriously impaired by
paralysis and other bodily affections as to
render him no longer competent to dis
charge the important duties Of his Office
properly. It may be considered abso-
iutely certain that the President will
shortly send new name to the Senate
for this position, but aside from the pro-
liability, under ordinary circumstances,
that the department recommendation
would have controlling weight, there IS
no authoritative basis at present for q
prediction as to whom the President Will
nominate. There Is good reason TO be
lieye, however, that Mr.. Clayton's noni-
na ion would be acceptable to majority
of the California delegation, and If made,
it would unquestionably be promptly
confirmed.

california not Happy.

New York, 9.-The Tribune prints q
letter from an occasional correspondent
in San Francisco, sharply reviewing the
course of the Bonanza man gers, stock
spectators and spurious workingmen
reformers, which he alleges have brought
the serious evils in society, business and
politics thsre. Chinese emigration has
contributed immensely to these evils.
He presents lively picture of the city
officers, and says: "The diamond now
blazes upon the ample front Of the rep
resentatives of law and reform. The
thirty supervisors make up singular
collection of curiosities. The majority
seem to possess the mental stature and
moral leanness of the New York alder
men He concludes: Whatever may
be the results of the Interpretation Of the
! new constitution upon the property OF
/ the state, the days of the working
mems rule are numbered. The strong
element of small househol ders and rea
workingmen, which gave them the vic
tory in the la;e struggle will never join
hands with them again. The new party
has exhibited all the vices of the older or

EMI-WEEKLY HERALD

This valuable and popular edition
of the HERALD will continue 10 make
its appearance twice week during
the year, and the same degree of
progress and improvement that marks
the Daily will be seen in its columns.
No better newspaper can be found in
the west for those people who are not
blessed with daily mail facilities, than
the SEMI WEEKLY HERALD. It oon-
tains all the news, domestic and for
eign, in a condensed and readable
form. The design has been TO
make it combine the distinguish
ing characteristics of a CONNER
cial and home journal, and we
believe that tots has been success
fully carried out. The SEn-WEEKLY
has certainly met with unexpectedly
high favor at the hands of the people.
It is proposed to make it even more
popular than in the past by reducing
the price to $3.50 per annum. max
ing it the cheapest semi. weekly paper
in the west. The reduction in price
does not imply a lessening of the
quantity of matter published. Its
columns will continue full Of news
and choice literature.

School District Representation.

Synopsis Report Of an IntervieW Nth
the Committee on Elections of the
House Of Representatives.. respecting
an improvement IN til: Machinery Of
(. Elections and Nominations.
Names of said commiltee-Messrs.
Murdoch, VIM, Smith and McKin-
ron.
The object Of the interview was to
explain the nature and importance OF
system OF elections by which the
nomiI alive franchise can be equitably
participated in by all citizens at
primary meetings.
Mr.. Ward explained the fact that
there was no law provided By which
the machinery of elections could be
legally opelat-d, which neglect lett the
interests of the people to the caprice
of party politicians, so that if (uD-
authorized) party leaders did not call
conventions there could be no cleo
tions. The result being, that candidates
utterly regardless oil the public
veal were nominated. The rule Of
party was observed, viz: Vote for the
ID if he is on your ticket. He also
called attention to the fact that there
we're no resident delegates from the
Eighteenth, Twentieth and Twenty
first Wards of this city to represent
said wards in the nominating conyen-
tion recently held ID select city Off
GERS, which this vote would furnish.
Also the Importance of electing rep.
resentatiVe men, not always OF the
dominant party, as members Of the
City Council and Legislature, to pre-
tsct the interests OF the minority. He
thought it deserved consideration.
Mr.. Murdoch, in reply, said con-
servative influence was growing, and
that parties in some districts OF the
territory were so evenly balanced that
both sides were shy OF each other;
that ne believed there were conserya-
tive men, not of the dominant party,
who, if elected to Office, would study
the interests of all, irrespective OF
creed or sect.
Mr.. S. Hudson argued that as the
Constitution OF the United States
requires Congress to guarantee unto
the states a republican form OF
govern ment, so by q parity OF
reasoning state and territorial legisla-
lures should furnish the people, in
their school districts, system
of representation, by legal Enactment,
as true basis of democratic nomins-
tons, which safeguard had never been
enjoyed by the voters of any section
of our country, So unresisted party
spirit has forced the people into
extreme belligerent representation,
which ruinous practise needs i'm
mediate correction, all citizens being
directed by law for seli-protection, to
meet as legislative bodies in school
district conventions, there 20 mature
well approved nominations.
The committee joined in the dis
oussion with apparent interest, and
promised an impartial consideration
of the arguments advanced, with 8
view to improvements in the direc-
ton sought.
| The committee on the part o.
petitioners numbered four persons
Messrs. Salisbury aud Carlson took
part in the conversation.

I've hoOred him completely, and that is
well known.
I've foored him and killed him as dead
as 8 stone,
And Vidi and Nevis, although three to
one;
I've killed them, so far as their argu-
ments led;
When people are killed once, they ought
to be dead.
A man ought TO know when his death
blow Is struck,
And not want his victor 10 kill dead
duck.
Yet some men went giee up the ghost
when they're slain,
But ask you perversely to slay them again.
Such men as Ben Tasker, so worthless
sre they,
To take them and kill them too often
wont pay.
He's hardly worth killing ouce-living
or dead,
His carcass wont pay for the powder and
lead.
On this woman question, he may think
it rough,
I'll kill him 10 more, hs is killed dead
enough.
His talk of apology's merely whim::
l offer him none, 1 sc ept none from him.
The womsn's rights question, at present,
l note,
Staads-pros have the argument, cons
have the vote.
That women have far the best cause,
have shown.
Their Bill is not dead, that 1t s!eepeth
own
To those who can see aught this thing is
quite plain
Those two Bens' and Vidi's rejoicing Is
vain,
The women will up and will at it again,
And never will rest till they victory gain.
They are great many, while Tasker is
one;
Their cause, it will flourish when he's
dead ana gone.
Twill flourish when B. T. is dead and is
rotten,
When he and his name and his deeds are
forgotten.
Dead not in a moral, but physical sense;
He morally never lived, but IN pretence.
The women deserve their full rights to
obtain.
Denied, they will claim them sgain and
again.
