Wiser than the Leaders.

san Francisco Call, April 18th.
The programme the Hearst faction forced
upon the Governor has failed. The extra
session may not be entirely without re-
suits, but the results now possible were not
such as were intended. The defeated fac
ton is talking about the will of the people
being defeated. This talk is weak and
silly. The will of the people has worked
the change recorded. When the Legisla-
ture met, the only question was if the
Hearst-Stoneman faction could command a
two-thirds majority in the Senate The
House was theirs beyond question. 1t
soon became apparent that the two-thirdS
majority in the Senate could not be OBJ
tanned on any proposition not acceptable to
the minority. From two-thirds the eX-
tremists came down to a bare majority.
That they now seem to have lost They
have also lost the two-thirds in the House.
and are now concerned about their ma
iority in that body These changes have
not been brought about by the action of the
railroad company They have resulted
from an investigation Of the questions the
Legislature was invited to legislate upon.
Members of the Legislature who were re-
lied upon to vote blindly as the Hearst
clique dictated have examined matters for
themselves. They have had the courage to

They discovered that the popular feeling 50
much harped upon existed only in the i'm
aginations of persons having private axes
to grind A few schemers thought to ride
into office on an anti-railroad fulrore. But
whenever the people have been called upon
to assemble in mass meetings and give their
Self-appointed leaders little strength, they
have declined. There was no popular feel
ing behind the call for the extra session of
the Legislature. That there may have been
private citizens in favor of that call will be
admitted, but such constitute a small mi
nority. The Legislature, broken as it is, is
without doubt stronger in its antirailroad
sentiment than the people The half-score
of self-appointed leaders have received a
rebuke that will doubtless serve as a les
son. Leaders cannot appoint themselves.
Leadership results from intelligent service.
A man incapable of such service cannot
place himself at the head of a great party
and direct its forces. The party, wiser than
its would-be leaders, repudiates their action
and marks out new grounds for itself.

pardon was granted on condition that Mercer

IL PLAcERvILLR, FL Dorado county, the anti
railroad maniacs of the Democratic party have
received a setback. They made vigorous
effort to carry the primaries Saturday as a re-
buke TO AsSemblyman Irwin for his defense of
Railroad Commissioner Carpenter. Our dis
patches show that precisely contrary result
was worked Judge Irwin was elected dele
gate TO the County Conventions most en-
phatic indorsement-and his eighteen colleagues
are pronounced in his support, and that of Com
missioner Carpenter. II was known that the
issue would be squarely made. and, now that
the fight is over, it looks as though a cyclone
had struck the great house of Uncle Hearst's
Democratic settlement.

THE Oakland YTdete thus vigorously calls
things by their right names: 1.-The extra session
appears TO be rapidly approaching miserable
and ignominous end, and if the Democratic
party would not be utterly destroyed, it will be
compelled to procure an carly adjournment. All
this disSraceful trouble has proceeded from the
simple fact that George Hearst, the land-grab-
Der, was not nominated for Governor instead OF
General Stoneman, and whatever disaster shall
befall the Democratic party in consequence will
be directly chargeable to the selfish and vindic-
tive folly of his paper. the Erominer, which a
great many intelligent Democrats have begun to
view as a morally dead duck"

ANOTHER REMARKAB LECURE.-Testi-
moniaI of VIM. 5. Doan, the Noted In
ventor of the Steam Wagon, who had
been afflicted with Fever Sores for Thir-
ty-three Years. Permanent Cure Eff
fected in Forty Days.
SACRAMENTO June H. 1888.
J. p. SARSFIELD-DEAR SIR: Having been
afflicted thirty-three years with fever sores, and
having tried many kinds of remedies and treat
ment without avail, my attention was called to
the many known cures produced by your
Chronic Ulcer Salve and Blood Remedy. The
physicians of this city would not undertake my
cure unless | would submit to a surgical opera
ton on my shin bone, which was considerably
diseased. l objected to this kind of treatment,
and commenced using your Chronic Ulcer Salve
and Blood Remedy which effected a permanent
cure in forty days At the commencement of
treatment with your remedies was unable to
perform more than two days work in each week,
and it was with great difficulty that l could
get up and down stairs After four weeks of
treatment | was able to work all the time.
| am now entirely cured OF my fever sores
and regainng my health and strength daily.
The lower part of my leg, between the knee and
foot, was completely honeycOmbed by these
sores. 1t is but a faint expression of gratitude
that herewith bear testimony to the efficiency
of your most invaluable Chronic Ulcer Salve
and Blood Remedy. Your remedies are an in
estimable gift to the human race, and stamp
you at once as the Good Samaritan of the pres
ent age. Gratefully yours, WM. S. DOAN.

Austin. While there one of the party, named
Richard Husband, aged T. started, as he sup
posed, for home but installing his way, went
directly away from Austin. He was missed q
couple of hours later and search instituted. He
was tracked ten miles, when heavy snow
storm came up and night put an end to search.
On Sunday at daylight the search was renewed
and at II A. NJ. the boy was found near Big
creek, fourteen miles from Austin. The little
fellow was under a large sage brush, and when
asked what he was doing there said, Chewing
gum" He was but little injured by the storm
though badly frightened at the dark, and
hungry.
A heavy snow-storm started Saturday night
and continued all day yesterday with promise
of more to-day. Nothing like it was ever known
