ANOTHER ARGUMENT.

More unity, system and deliber-
alton in political action would pro-
badly have good results upon the
work of legislation. 1t is impossi-
BILE that the people can be iitly re-
presented by politicians who carry
constituencies, as it were, by storm.
Dashing incursions into the country,
fusillados of impassioned and acidu-
lated rhetoric from the hustings,
and sundry pcrsuasives of 4 less
constitutional sort bestowed upon
the electorate in domestic retirement,
may constitute u standard method
of obtaining sthe suffrages of the
people. They are not the means,
however, calculated to concentrate
the best wisdom of nation in its
legislative halls. The party least
equipped for such tactics will pro-
badly be left behind in the contest.
But the electorate simple enough to
allow itself to be made the base of
operations will come out last of all
in the issue. 1t is not from the
smoke and din, and froth and wind
of such political warfare that are
likely to emerge representatives
faithful to the interests they are
supposed to personify. The sue
cessful contestants simply represent
their own ambitions AS for the
people, they are the tools by which
the politicians carve out honors and
emoluments for themselves. Dc
not results prove that by the agen-
cies described many Of the seats in

Superior Court, Judge Tooby's, was
crowded with spectators anxious to
watch the proceedings in the case of
Adolph B. Spreckels, on trial for

special venire of 'thirtysscitizens had
been drawn on the 18th, and now
appeared to be examined as to their
qualifications to serve as jurors in
the case. Twelve men we're first
called upon, and after sworn
examination as to their impartiality,
seven jurors were accepted out of
the number. The special yenire
