The value Of q newspaper is not in its size or

COncigenrzs and freshness with which IL il
edited. TIE TINES spends layishly for news
from ri parts Of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed in
order to give the complete news Of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
II a large variety Of entertaining and instruC-

abroad are employed to enrich its columns
and to make IL Il journal adapted both 20 the

TIRE WEEKLY TINES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago Inc day OF those papers have gone by.

PUCK FOR CHILDREN.


Once upon time, man whose
trade had always forced him to deal
in political dye of the blacklist char
acter thought fit to train as a racer.
So he began to prepare himself, and
put himself in the hands of two
friends who were called Phelps and
Reid. Now these two had known
him as an excellent manufacturer Of
political dye, and had long recon-
mended his house to their friends.
But after he had put himself at the
head of his profession so that his
stock was quoted as A No. !, he had
ambition to appear in other colors
before the public, so he determined
TO win fresh laurels on the race
course that people might forget the
trade in which he first gained dis
tinction. So he called on the friends
aforesaid, and they stripped him for
the contest. But alas. his whole
body was dyed and discolored by
the vile fluid in which he had work
ed all his life! Then these friends
set to work with sand-paper and
scrubbing brush to erase these re-
cords. But their efforts were vain,
and he entered on the course discol-
ored by the trade he worked in like
the potter's hand.
Once again upon time there was
a town in Germany called Hamelin
wherein the children cut the Sunday
school and thought themselves wiser
than their elders. They formed an
association among themselves, and
bought over the police by presents
of apples which they took from the
gardens of the citizens, and when
brought before the mayor they were
always declared guiltless because
they kept the good things of the
town in their own hands and were
lavish with the apples which belong
ed to their fathers. For their duty
was to guard the orchards while
their parents were at work, and they
stored the fruit in a place called the
treasury to which the real owners
had no key. And when their wick
edness was ripe and the fulness Of
time had come, pied piper passed
through the town who played so
sweetly that they all followed him
to the river and were drowned.
Verify, says Puck, Blaine is the
pied piper of politics and his follow
ers are many. Once again for the

OUR PRIMARIES.

In the light of recent develop
ments the proceedings at Francis on
yesterday involve questions which
can only be determined by the com
mittee of credentials to be appoint
ed by our county convention. How
ever this may be, as good democrats
we are bound to abide by the deciS-
ion when obtained. The contesting
delegation will present their claims,
and if a full hearing is accorded
them they will make no protest
against the judgmentwhe rendered.
The issues involved in the present
campaign are too important to admit
of family jars, and when the con-
vention sits and decides, we are con-
WINGED no embers of strife will
shoulder to light the fires of party
discord at q future day. Both are
democrats tried and true, and when
the nomination is made at Pensaco-
la the fiat of the party will bind
again the ties which a difference of
opinion has burst. Where all is
good, the only question is, which is
best The platform and the nomi-
nees when once made will command
the allegiance due from us all.

last time there lived woman nam
ed Phryne, and her wickedness was
proved before the court but the king
was not just, and he refused to pun
ish her. But the people knew her,
and they despised her although she
was very beautiful and dressed in
fine clothes. And the time came
when she wished to do something
good before she died, and she offer
ed to rebuild a ruined city if the
inhabitants would place tablet in
the walls reciting the fact that
Thebes was rebuilt by Phryne. Bat
the Inhabitants refused to allow
such a thing. And Blaine makes
promises Of good deeds as Phryne
did; but says Puck: Though you
spoke with the tongues of men and
of angels, you could not convince
us that this stained and spotted and
sin-branded figure is pure. Pure!
Why, this is the very wanton of
politics; the very hireling of the
lobby. And the offer Of your Phyrne
to rebuild the Republican party will
be rejected too, if on the reconstruct
ed walls is to be blazoned:

THE COMING CONVENTION

It is now conceded that in this county
there will be held Republican prima-
ries, and convention convened prepara-
tory to the State Convention. Central
Committee men admit that they are con
WINGED it is the wish Of the majority of the
party that this should be done With every
act done by a party committee that
trenches upon the duty of convention,
precedents are made that grow with party
law. On several occasions usurpations have
been submitted to, and when recently the
demand was made for County Conyen.
,iou, it was replied that there were prece-
dents enough to warrant the Central Com
rit,ee in acting independently Of a con
yention. Thus these acts had already come
to be regarded rs in causonance with party

SOME NEEDED HOME WORK.

The Sacramento Board of Trade has
voted to pay over to the State immigration
Society the funds remaining for plating
lands for sale in the central counties. The
effort should now be made, and at once, to
raise the funds necessary to publish abroad
the advantages of these central counties.
Other sections have been, and still are,
doing this kind of home missionary work.
1t is Of interest to every resident, and
especially to the business men of Yolo,
Solano, Sacramento, Placer, FL Dorado
Suffer, Nuba, Amador, and other central
counties, to have those regions thickly
settled 1t will be in time, Of course, best,
and can be soon if We make proper exer-
ton. Immediate steps should be taken to
raise the funds necessary to have the
statistics of facts compiled and printed.
This work should be done by those familiar
with the region and residing in it. No
agent from elsewhere can 50 intelli-
gently and well prepare the neces-
sary documents as can be done by resident
talent Of each of the counties. Besides this
home talent can do the work At much less
cost, for obvious reasons. The Central Pacific
Railroad Immigration Commissioner has
rendered to the interior section all the broad
facilities of the Eastern and European
agencies of that company for the distribu-
ton of the matter we viii prepare, and
will also make the Eastern and European
agency Offices of advice for this section,
where intending immigrants can apply and
receive information and verify the state
mcnts we may put forth This is an adj
vantage of the most important
character. At these agencies also, we
can place on exhibition samples Of the pro
ducts of interior California The matter to
be sent abroad viii 60 with greater force if
coming direct from county representatives.
The immigration we wish TO invite to Cen
trail California We desire to report direct to
and in the countie, extending the invita-
lion. 1t is not at all desirable that this
specially invited immigration should report
at San Francisco or come by way of the
southern counties. This is special local eff
fort and should he kept distinct from all
Others. We wish the State settled up,
and We have an nQuc,tioned right to spc-
ciaIly present the claim, of this local section
distinct from all other invitations. These
and other reasons all advise that in this
effort to settle up the vicinity of Sacra-
mento, Marysvilie, Woodland, the ANA
dor, Placer and FL Dorado towns, we
should work and act independently, and
should not delay another week in entering

THE RAILROAD HOSPITAL.

The San Francisco Chronicle recently
permitted its columns to be used for yiru-
lent assault upon the management of the
Central Pacific Railroad Hospital in this
city, in which it was held up as 4 money
making institution, and means of extort-
ing monthly dues from poorly-paid en-
ployeS To all this General Manager
Towne has made reply in such emphatic
terms as to drive even the Chronicle to edi-
torial admission of the libel, the response
| bility for which it charges upon railroad
employee. Mr.. Towne's letter is given in
another column, and inasmuch as it con-
veys information relative to the hospital
that efectually throttles all the ignorant
chatter about the institution it will be
found to be of interest. 1t has come to
pass in these days, apparently, that any
thing in the world that may be charged
against railway management will he seized
upon by the anti-railroad maniacs as food
for their schemes, regardless of truth or
probability. 1t would have been very easy,
indeed, for the Chronicle to have ascer-
tanned the actual facts in the first instance.
Common journalistic honesty would have
dictated that course rather than the accept
ance of the first story that came TO hand as
verify. The Railroad Hospital system,
supported by railroad employees, has met
the approval, and had the commentator
of all who have examined into it. 1t en-
ables the railroad employee to secure care
in case of illness or accident by an inslm-
ance premium of an exceedingly low rate,
which is certainly preferable to being
turned adrift in distant places, or given
over to the public charity of county hos
pitfalls. 4 railroad company is, obviously,
under no obligation to establish such a
system, and for many years the Central
Pacific Company was the only one that did
maintain it, it having originated with that
organization.

CALIFORNIA SHOULD BUY 1T.

President Reid, of the State University,
in a letter elsewhere appearing, suggests
that steps be taken to purchase for Califor-
MIA the chronological library and collec-
ton of the late Dr.. J. /. lie Conte, of Phila-
delphia. 1t is the completest collection,
probably, in this country, and certainly
cannot he duplicated for anything like
what it may now be expected to sell for.
There Is no State in the Union where a
knowledge of entomology is Of profoundcr
interest to the people, since so much of our
prosperity depends upon our ability to pro-
tect our orchards and vineyards from in
sect pests. Such Il collection as that of DIR.
lie Conte's would be of great value to the
State, and to the agricultural students at
the University it would possess an interest
hardly measurable in its breadth. There
are wealthy men enough in this State to
secure this splendid collection for Calitor-
MIA by a comparatively very small con-
tribution from 4 few.

WHAT THEN ?

Referring to the Roosevelt law for New
York, the San Francisco Bulletin in the
course of extended remarks says: The
city of New York has started out for rad
ical reforms on the one-man-power prin-
ciple. OF course, the character Of munich
pal officers subject to the appointment OF
the Mayor would depend upon the eharac-
ter Of the latter. In great city it is
never quite certain that the best man can
be elected to that office. How would it be
if bad man were elected? He would
have the appointment of q long list of mu-
nicipal officers. If they were no better
than the Mayor, what then" What
them Why, endurance until change
could be effected. But suppose the worst
happens, how can the appointees Of one
bad man he more damaging to city than
those Of whole gang of bad men, who are
not responsible to the whole number ot
voters, but come up from forty or fifty
small precincts. 4 venal Mayor can dc
no worse than a boat load of venal Alder
men.
