Comment Upon Democratic Methods.

San Francisco Alta, August I'd
The infirmity of committee management,
to which we have already called attention
in the case of Ell Dorado county, has been
hagrantly duplicated in Sacramento by the
Democratic committee. We say fiagranty,
because in addition to being violation of
the rule required by the State Convention,
it is a direct violation of the order of the
last Sacramento County Convention which
appointed this committee. That Conven-
ton, by large majority, passed a resolu-
ton instructing the committee to call
a County Convention for the election Of
delegates to the State Convention. This
instruction by the creator OF the committee
has been deliberately violated and dis
obeyed the creature. The acts falls below
the level of mere political chicane to that
of actual baseness, when we consider that
it is done by some of the very men who
were active in procuring the Convention
instruction which they spit upon now. A
minority of the committee has protested
and has issued q call for a County Conven-
ton. 1t is said that to counter this the dis
obedient majority has actually proposed to
have a County Convention, but intends
to appoint the delegates to said Con-
vention itself! These occurrences prove
the existence of a programme that Is 10 be
put through the State Convention by vio-
lence, by depriving the people of chance
to work their will through representatives
chosen by themselves. The promoters of
this programme by their actions confess
their distrust of the people. But after the
programme is put through the State Con-
vention the cry of regular ticket will be
raised by the conspirators to drive the party
into its support. We wish to assure theru
that the party will not be driven. If few
defiant and disobedient County Committees
club the people away from the primary
processes which lead up to the State Con-
vention, and get for their members NOM
nations or perpetustion in power by such
conspiracies they will find themselves in
vited to elect themselves, for if the people
are not good enough to nominate candi-
dates they are not good enough to elect q
self-nominated ticket.
To bolt ticket chosen by such means is
virtue in the individual citizen and a
privilege of which thousands of citizens
will avail themselves. We haYe had
enough of such work in California. 1t lost
us the State two years ago and the con-
spirators of that calamity will not be per-
mitted to perpetuate by violence the sway
they secured at the cost of the party's de-
feat.
The action of a convention, constituted
as they propose, binds nobody and this
they might as well understand now as
later on. If they continue such efforts to
choke the party, it will result in the calling
of a Democratic Convention to organize a
Democratic County Committee which shall
respect the right of the people to voice in
conventions and primaries.

A BICYCLE FOR THE RIVERS SURFACE
Lying Just above the East Hartford bridge,
the otEer day, was new craft tina; attract
ed the attention of all who passed. Its
base is very light catamaran with side
boats about six inches broad. Near
the center is a frame, and in the
center of the frame are two seats. The
rear seat is like that of bicycle, and has
at proper distance regular bicycle cranks.
Between the cranks are two beveled gears,
and to the second is attached long shaft,
terminating in a bright brass propeller
wheel about twenty inches in diameter.
This wheel can be raised or lowered to suit
the depth of water. In front of the bicycle
seat is an iron standard with a handle bar
like that of bicycle, and attached to the
rudder. The front seat is not attached to
the machinery, and is simply for passen-
ger The little craft runs very easily, and
with no great exertion can be made to 60
fully twice as fast as an ordinary light
rowboat-HartfOrd C0lDdIa.

LIFE OF CANARY BIRD.-There is no
definite age to which canaries live. | have
one over 20 years old. 1t is exceptional for
them 10 live so long. They usually die
under five years, and the majority are
killed by carelessness. Dyspepsia from
improper food is the main cause. The
natural food is the seed that comes from
the Canary Islands, mixed with rape or
hemp seed at times. The birds relish a
piece of lettuce, and it seems to agree with
them. All other green stuff AMI every
other kind of food should be prohibited.
My bird hospital is kept filled with birds
sent to me to be cured of indigestion in
duced by cake and other unnatural bird
food. They are so delicate that it is hard
to cure them when sick, but careful use
of homeopathic remedies gives good re-
suits Birds do not take cold as easily as
is thought. but after their digestion is
ruined they become weak and prey to
every malady.-N. Y. Tribune.

Sacramento Swimmers.

some Of the Sacramentans who annually
visit Santa Cruz-ladies as well as gentle
men-have gained considerable celebrity as
swimmers. Each season brings several
new aspiranis for natatorial honors to the

swimmers is given in the Santa Cruz Surf,
of the 18th, which says:
"A swimming feat worthy of special
note was accomplished yesterday by party
of two ladies and five gentlemen-Nrs. E.
c. Jobson and Miss Jennie Gallatin, of Sac

bert Galiatin and VIM. Cothrin, of Sacra-

Diving from the railroad wharf, they ac-
complished the distance between that and
the raft at the Dolphin bath-house-be-
tween $50 and 800 yards-in the excellent
time of 16l minutes, being guided to the
raft by the expert and graceful swimmer,
Henry Frank. This noteworthy feat was
accomplished easily and without exhaus-
ton or fatigue on the part of any of the
swimmers. Mrs. Jobson and Miss Gallatin
are considered the best long-distance lady
