A Campaign Trick.

The voter who bets on the result OF
an election cannot vote at such cleo

vote, of course, on one side, but he

he bets to win, if possible, to lose, il
necessary. AS it is a sman bet, it is
virtually buying votes at SO much
apiece. Look out!

DEsERTIONs FROM THE ARMY

1t is said the number of deserters from
the Regular Army during the past year
was only 1900 This, of course is a
very good proportion in a service aggre.
eating 25, 200 enlisted men; but when it
is noted that the previous year there had
been about 3, 100 assertions, and that the
average Of the half a dozen years before
had been still higher. one year reaching
3,57S and another year 3,74l, it will be
seen how great and almost incredible the
sudden gain of the past year has been.
The reason ascribed for the growing de-
crease is that the last Congress gave in
creased extra duty pay to men working
as mechanics and in other than in mil
itary capacities. This has tended to
reduce the dissatisfaction caused by see.
ing men around them, with the freedom
of civil life, making higher wages at
about the same class OF work. No doubt
also the establishment of a retired list
for enlisted men by the last Congress
has had something to do with the good
results now recorded, while the recruit
ing officers Of late years have been more
strict in their choice of men.

Bulgaria, it is reported, desires to send
a deputation to st. Petersburg to re.
quest the Gar to nominate a King for
that country. As the Car already in.
tends to nominate a King for that coun-
try and put him on the throne also, and
keep him there, assassination aside. His
Imperial Majesty evidently believes that
a deputation is ~superhuous, and therefore
will not receive it. Bulgaria must take
her medicine, and take it from the hands
of the man the Car sends.

CALIFORNIA; FIRST NEWS


The first newspaper published IN the
Golden State made it's appearance at
Monterey on August Is, 1916. n pro-
duced quite a little sensation. A crowd
was waiting when the first sheet was
thrown from the press. Never was a
bank run upon harder; not, however, by
people to get specie, but exactly the re.
verse. Mr.. Bancroft, in his fifth volume
of the History of California, gives an
interesting account of this important
event. He says: "It was probably
Robert Ssmple who conceived the idea Of
a California newspaper in 1916, as Fig
ueroa had done without any practical
results in earlier times" Cotton, a man
of some editorial experience in Phila.
delphia on the North American, favored
the scheme. The two agreed to edit
and publish a paper in partnership.
Cotton describes his partner as san emf
grant from Kentucky, in buckskin dress,
a fox.skin cap; true with the rife, ready
with his pen, and quick at the type.case."
At the old Government house were found
the press and type. "The press was old
enough to be preserved as alcuriosity;
the mice had burrowed in the balls; there
were no rules, no leads, and the types
were rusty, and all in pi. 1t was only
by securing that the letters could be
made to show their faces. A sheet or
two of tin were procured, and these
with q Jack. knife were cut into rules
and leads. Luckily there was found
with the press the greater part OF a keg
Of ink; and now came the main scratch
for paper. None could be found, ex.
cept what is used to envelop the tobacco
of the cigar smoked by the natives. A
coaster had a small quantity on board,
which was procured" The paper ap-
peared every Saturday during the rest OF
the year, and until May, lS47, when it
was transferred to San Francisco. 1t
contained the official orders, current
news-chiefy local, editorial and cor.
r~espondence on the condition and pros.
poets of the country, contributions from
native Californians who favored the new
order of things, and several historical
articles on the Bear Flag revolt and other
past events. By the aid of Hartwell, a
portion of the contents was printed in
Spanish. The management of the paper
reflected much credit on the publishers.
Semple. though he had obtained his dis
charge from the company of volunteers
in order that he might devote his whole
attention to the new enterprise, was alb
sent much of his time in the region OF
San Francisco Bay, engaged-according
to the statement of his partner, who
with a type.setting sailor had most of the
work to do-in speculations, and in a
vain search for a wife.

Successful swindIIng.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 23.-The Rec
ord tells of a well laid plan of Cuban sharp
ers to swindle Philadelphians. 1t is sup
posed they have reaped rich harvest al
though the victims will not allow their names
to be used. The plot is disclosed by two
well known business men, who kept up
corresdondence with the rascals, hoping to
entrap them. The plan of procedure adopted
by the swindler was to write to his intended
victim, representing himself as a prisoner in
the royal prison, Havana, and offering to
reveal to him the spot where some $4,000
was buried in glass jar on the outskirts
of New Orleans. He obtained this
money, he said. upon drafts OF a
New Orleans bank, and learning that he
would be arrested he buried the money.
He offered to disclose the place of burial,
and allowed the person addressed 0ne-quar-
of the amount. $103,000, il he would en-
deavor to obtain the writer's liberty from
prison. After receiving a reply from his
victim, he would again write, enclosing what
the order Of court refusing him permission
to have his baggage unless he.dep0sited with
the court $500 as security for the safe
return of the same. AS the baggage con-
tanned plan of the location of the hiding
place and as he had not $500 to deposit,
as security, he thus gave an opportunity for
his victim to volunteer to send that amount
of money to Havana. The Record asserts
that number of persons have been vic
timized. Ii Is uncertain whether or not any
thing can be done towards securing the
arrest of the swindlerS. The Spanish au-
thorties have been notified, and an investi-
CATION into the management of the loyal
prison at Havana will be made.

as In 1886. He said he had replied that the
Chicago Club was willing to make that con-

to the Detroit club, and no similar guaranty
had been made by Chicago with any other
