4 rommuniStic person iden fled with
the dangerous classes of the ComstOck
and notorious for his disregard of truth
and contempt for vested rights, has just
returned from 4 visit to san Francisco
This morning he endangered the good
name Of the Chronicle by entering its
editorial room. tn. nihiIist declared
that he had "a good thing on Stanford
and steve Gage" but he supposed the
Chronicle, like the rest of the corrupt
and time serving press, would &c afraid
to publish it.
Tell your story" said the editor with
dignity, gazing inquiringly at the boot
of the socialist which was resting upon
the editorial table. The boot remained
there, however, while the following
ridiculous narrative was delivered:
It's fine weather at the bay ami every
body who can afford it takes a spin oc-
casionally out Of the dust and heat.
Last Satu day Stamford and Gage were
walking along kearny Street, and when
they got 70 the corner of Bush the
Governor took off his hat, wiped his
brow and remarked:
steve, it's too hot for anything, what
do you say to Il breath of fresh air ?"
Have we time ?" inquired Mr.. Gage
pulling ont his watch. So did the
Governor, who replied:
"vhere isn't anything very pressing
for couple Of hours, | guess, and we
may as well take a spin out TO the park
1t isn't worth while to have ont my
horses. Let's take hack, and then We
can enjoy walk when we get there
tn be better than riding around tn,
drives"
SO they got into coupe and were
driven out to Golden Gate Park. A
the entrance the governor and Gage
aIighted.
"Nhar The ARE" asks she govern
or.
"On'y Sl5, guv'nur."
What" yelled Stanford and Gage il
the same breath.
Fifteen dollars" repeated cabby, un
buttoning his coat and splitting on hi
hands.
But my good man." protested tn
governor, ''such charge is exorbitant
The law confines you to reasonabl
price for your services, and you can b
arrested and punished for such viola
ton of the ordinance"
"Hang the law |" growled cabby. IN
