The Echo, a London newspaper,
in calling attention to how we'll a
Republican form of Government
works in America, and how easily
a change Of regime is effected, says.
cleveland is a strong and
straight man, and politically as
pure as Lincoln. Is it not ,nagnif-
icent how the Democratic prlncl-
pie works to its new conditions!
One warrior has not succeeded an
ether by force Of arms. The chief
of the party has become the chief
Of State, but the State is still his
G hief. Arthur ceases to be the
ruler Of fifty millions Of men and
goes back to his own town to work
as a lawyer for his living. When
Napoleon "the little" had to vanish
from France, he had three-quarters
of a million carefully purloined and
invested. Arthur carries nothing
with him into retirement but the
respect of the people, and by and
by Cleveland will do the same. In
Democracy, individual ambitions
die and despots and truculent war
riors have no place. The only am
bition for man is to serve the
State well, and having done that to
become : private citizen again
Hear this, ye Kings, with your
tawdy crowns; ye Dukes and Earls,
with your tinsel coronets; ye Lords
Of the bed-chamber and gold sticks
in waiting, with your salaries
drawn from the hard-earned wages
Of the thrifty poor-salaries PAID
to you for no service productive Of
good to the public but only fo1
D laying aunky and fool. Is it ao'
time. oh, patient English Denoc
racy, for US to open our eyes ant
take counsel from our wise child
rem? Money wasted over the POM
and pageantry Of courts is spent II
bolstering up the pretentions 0
rank and birth. Would it not b
better spent in feeding the poo

The Walker Lake Bullitin says:
Had it not been for our Mason
Valley Senator, the Fish Memorial
would probably have passed - or
iginally introduced, and the Walk
er Lake Reservation would have
boon included in the petition for
abandonment. Senator Gallagher,
although busy with his bill to
create fund for coyote trappers,
took time to oppose the memorial,
because it might take some In
dams away from Mason Valley
where they were usefal to the
ranchers and also because (probab-
" not stated however) the north
ern end Of the tract is . very con-
yenieut free cattle range. The
line could have been drawn at the
mouth of the river and everybody
auited. but It would seem that our
Senator has no more use for the

troduced another memorial which

not get to the Senate in time Tor

been opposed by Mr.. Gallagher, as
his whole ambition seemed to cen

and protection of Indian haymak-
ers. to the entire neglect Of the in
terests of the people of the county
which he represented.
Gallagher spent his entire time
in the Legislature opposing bill:
