PARTY PLEDGES.


two parties which divide the people OF
this county politically, will meet at this
place. It is customary at such meet
ings to adopt resolutions pledging the
support of the party represented, and Oh
the candidates nominated. to SPECIFIC
measures. This custom will doubtless
be observed by the conventions here
next week, and candidates, as usual,
will formally obligate themselves to
abide by whatever resolutions may be
adopted by their party. Candidates
are aware that their Endorsement OF the
platform on which they are nominated
is simply matter of form, and nine out
of ten of them give the matter no fur
ther thought, and in fact are wholly ig-
norant Of the principles which they
pledge themselves to carry out. As
general rule the platform is framed to
catch votes, and it is not unusual to see
two planks wholly inconsistent with each
other in one platform. A glaring incon-
gruity of this character may be observed
in the Republican State platform adopted
in Virginia City this year, one plank OF
which declares emphatically against
any change in the existing tariff laws,
while another pledges the party to
effect change in those laws. OF
course political acrobats find no diff
Guilty in straddling such planks. and as
it would be impossible to carry out the
pledges given in one without violating
the other, they pay no further atten-
tion to the matter.
1t is to be hoped that the platforms
which the conventions will adopt here
next week will not require candidates
to pledge themselves to accomplish inn
possible feats. They should state con-
cisely what the party expects its nomi-
nees to do, and hold them strictly to
their promises. Legislative candidates
should be pledged to urge and vote for
the final adjournment of the Legisla-
ture within forty days, at most. from the
time it convenes. This will save the
State several thousand dollars. They
should also be made to promise to use
their best endeavors to abolish all Off
ces not provided for by the Constitu-
tion, as well as the Deputies of Consti-
tutional offices. This is as much as the
Legislature can accomplish in the way
of reform and reducing expenses until
our State Constitution is amended.
The conventions should, also, as
the speediest and most effective
method of revising the Constitu-
ton, so as to conform that
instrument to the present requirements
of the State, declare for Constitutional
Convention, and pledge their respective
parties to vote for it at the ensuing cleo
ton. Revising the Constitution is not
party issue, though some corporation
organs in the State are endeavoring to
make it one. The cost of a Constitution
al Convention can be saved to the peo-
pie in reduced expenditures before the
Constitution can be amended by the
slow and awkward method which the
Legislature must follow, and it is to be
hoped that the people of Humboldt, ir-
respective of party, will vote for con-
vention, regardless OF the remonstrances
of the tools aud organs of the corpora
tions.

SensatiOnalism in the Pulpit.

"A strange story is being circulated
here, writes the Naples correspond
ent of 1He London Daily Ne1CS, "of an
incident that occurred in the church
of San Maggiore, where some priests
of the sO-called mission are now preach
ing. The preacher of the evening had
chosen for his theme the terrors of
hell. The church was crowded. Near
the pulpit stood figure of the Madon-
ma. All at once, in the middle of the
sermon, the lights went out, and the
figure of the Madonna disappeared.
The priest, striking the desk with an
iron chain, cried out: We are falling
into hell! Look, the Madonna has
fled! Call on her; call, or woe to us'
The panic was universal; women faint
ed, children screamed. and there was
a rush to the doors, which were found
to be carefully closed. At last the po-
lice appeared upon the scene and got
the doors opened, and the congrega-
tion escaped into the open air without
injury, beyond a few bruises and the
loss of various articles of wearing ap-
parel."

Venus at Her Greatest Brilliancy.

The carth's twin sister, Venus, is
now superb object in the heavens,
shining with surprising brilliancy in
the west us soon as the sun disappears
below the horizon. The moon, APP
preaching the full, scarcely dims the
lustre of the fairest of the stars, and
the giant Jupiter, beaming family
above her, is of no account in compar-
ison with his fair rival. Our nearest
celestial neighbor is in her best estate,
taking on the brightest aspect she
ever assumes for terrestrial eyes. II

that surrounds her. and behold the
starlit sky that arches above her, a
star of surprising beauty would at
tract our attention This would be
our own earth, approaching opposition,
and appearing under more favorable
conditions from this standpoint than
Venus is ever seen in our sky. For
the earth is an outer planet as observ-
ed from Venus, and, like Mars, Jupi-
ter, and Saturn in our sky, is visible
when in opposition throughout the
night Observers on the earth never
see Venus much more than three hours
after sunset, or three hours before
sunrise. Observers on Venus can at
times behold the earth, during the en-
tire night shining, as she looks down
from the zenith, with peerless beauty
on the midnight sky, her lustre un-
dimmed by the twilight glow, and her
round, full face turned toward her
neighbor planet, whose place is nearer
the sun than her own.-PrOUidcuce

Triumphs of Surgery.

The CLEAN of light which has shed
some radiancy over the gloomness of
cancer comes from surgery. 1t may
be said of the surgery of the present
day that better results are obtained
from the surgical treatment of cancer
than was probably the case in any
former age. Some operations are now
being practiced which hitherto were
not considered justifiable, owing to
the want of success which followed
their performance. Others have lately
been introduced the practicability of
which has proved the wisdom of their
conception. Sufferers from cancer,
who formerly would not have been re-
lieved, are in the present day benefit
inc from the application of the princi-
pies OF scientific surgery. Years of
life-sOme years at least-and the nit
igatiOn of much physical and mental
suffering fall to the lot of surgeons to
confer. Even the stomach. which in
the male after a certain age common
~ becomes the seat of cancer, has
been dealt with, and portion OF it re-
moved which was diseased, the result
being favorable in so far as suffering
was relieved and life prolonged. 1t
must be, however, remembered that
the successful treatment of cancer de-
pends much upon its early recognition
as upon the means adopted for its re-
lief. There should be no hesitation in
asceItaining the nature of Il tumor or
swelling which is suspicious or uncer-
tain. The improvements in the meth
DDS of diagnosis enable surgeons to
recognize cancer in its earliest stages
and as soon as the presence of the dis
ease becomes unequivocally demon
strated the probability of a successful
result is largely enhanced by its early
removal. The reason of this is obvious.
Cancer commences in each person
presumably.as local disease. But ii
spreads and infects by means of the
blood vessels and lymphatics, first the
nearest Emphatic glands and then the
more distant organs of the body.
When this has occurred the disease is
no longer local one; it has become
what is called constitutional. 1t is
therefore manifest that the most favor
able time at which to obtain the best
results from surgical interference is
when the disease persists simply as 6
local growth and when the blood and
! tissues of the body have not received
! the impress of Il cancerOus taint. -PUi

Electric Light Power from Niagara Falls

ELAfIRA, March 4.-Leonard Henkle, inventor
and electrician, of Rochester, has written let
ter, saying that although the action of the New
York Legislature in favor of the National Park
compels him to abandon Prospect Park and the
American side of Niagara for electric lighting
purposes, he has nevertheless negotiated for the
purchase Of land on the Canada side of the river,
and for power from the great Horseshoe Fall for
carrying out his original plan. That plan con
templated the lighting of sixty-fve American
and Canadian cities, connected by means of un-
foreground cables, with electric lights generated
at Niagara. The plans are all drawn for ten
hydraulic engines of 200, 600 horse power EACH
and gigantic machinery. That Henkle himself
means business is attested by the fact that he
will soon open an Office on the Canada side of
The river, and endeavor to complete arrange
ments with capitalists. whom he expects to fur
nish $50, 600 900 for the undertaking.

AN OPERA COMPANY ON ITS TRAVELS.
How They Put in the Time When Crossing

nearly 100 miles from Denver, and was given a

of seeing how grand opera company travels.
It required but a short time to convince him that
the chief advertisements consisted of eating,
drinking, sleeping and playing the distinctively
American game of draw poker. Men and wo-
men alike joined in all of these pleasures, and
if any Of the party cared to ''see the country

The reporter subsequently learned that the
game was conducted upon the basis ''ten-cent

of lack pots'-whatever those terms meant
Mile. Dotti, being an American, is, of course,
the best player, while Count Zacharoff, being n
