THE CASE OF THE APoTHECARIEs

A San Francisco druggist or one assum-
ing 10 be an apothecary, has made terri
bic mistake in filling prescription, and
possibly death related to the error was
due directly to it in fact 1t is admitted
that the young man was not trained
apothecary, such as in Europe and in many
States of this Government alone can as
sumo to fill prescriptions. There is con-
siderable public agitation about the matter,
and this brings to the surface once more
the whole question of regulating the bust
ness of apothecaries so far as to prescribe
who alone may dispense drugs. There
would appear to be no sufficient reason for
Directing to the requirement fknowledgeof
his business in dispensing druggist. If the
man claiming to be an apothecary should
know how to compound medicines, and to
fill prescriptions with reasonable certainty
that the directions of the physician are
being followed, what objection can
be raised to the public having
knowledge of who is thus qualified
We can see none. If engineers must be
licensed, and pilots certified in order to
insure the safety of the public in sailing
between shoals and rocks, or with just
the right pressure Of steam on the boilers,
why should not the men be stamped with
the seal of competent approval who are to
steer us between the poisons and the Latin
Of the doctors recipes? Of course we can
see that there would be danger, and abso-
lutte injustice, in placing the power to
license or to refuse license in hands that
would use it to make monopoly of the
business for the few But this can be easily
guarded against. As it is now, any one
can hang out his single as an apothecary,
and, inviting public confidence thereby,
may yet be unable to distinguish between
arsenic and powdered chalk, or to tell the
difference between an ounce and drachm.

while the foot of the figure 90" was
crossed to make it appear a" More
than this, it was proven that hired ruffians
carried off ballot-boxes and returned them
to the election officers only after sufficient
time to have doctored the contents to suit
had elapsed. 1t was shown that the police
was openly in the pay of the Democrats,
and intimidated Republicans and kept
them from the polls. Corrupt bargains
were established and positive evidence of
conspiracies given to falsify returns, etc.
The Supreme Court of Ohio has now de-
cided that the body the Democratic men,

trying to seat lot of men elected by the
grossest fraud.

DAVID DAVIS.

The death of Judge David Davis takes
from the stage OF action one of the strong
noted men of the country. He will never
be remembered as Il brilliant man, or as
one of lofty intellectual achievement; but
he was sound lawyer, conscientious
man, a profound Judge, and patriot of
unquestioned integrity He was strong,
because he represented conservatism that
is Of the Judicial order, and that con-
serves the interest of the people irrespec-
tive of classes or conditions He did not
lack in shrewdness, nor yet in ambition for
political preferment, and this latter becom-
ing weakness, led him into complications
that drew upon him the bitter enmity
of the Democracy, that had claimed
him as its own. He, however, walked
where he pleased, and changed his paths
as often as he pleased, and in this respect
he had that rugged independence that dis
tinguishes only the few. He really be-
longed to neither of the great political
parties, and thus won the reputation Of
being bidder for the favor Of either, but
in fact there was not good foundation fol-
such charge, though it attached to him
to the day of his death. He did the coun-
try good service as Justice of the highest
tribunal of the land; he was faithful
sagacious and able as Senator; he was
judicial, impartial and dignifed as acting
Vice President of the United States.

ON THE DIAMOND.
The Pioneers Beat the Atlas AGAIN

The Pioneers iseat the Atlas An ain
Other Matters.
There was good attendance at the Park
yesterday to witness the game between the
Pioneers and Atlas. The strong southerly
breeze made the air cool, and at the same
time assisted the players in their fielding
by preventing the ball from being knocked
very far in center field. The foul flags
were in position for the first time this
season, and the crowd was kept back by
means of long ropes, extending far beyond
the ends of the seats. The game was
good one, prolific of brilliant playing, and
during the first six innings was very close.
Mclaughlin scored run for the Atlas in
the first inning, and after that neither side
tailed until the. sixth inning, when
Meagher and Hayes ran in for the Atlas,
and Carroll for the Pioneers. The Atlas
failed to improve their score after that and
in fact let down badly" going out in one,
two, three order in the last three innings,
in the ninth, Hayes, Mclaughlin and
Flint all tanning" In the seventh in
ming, Taylor, who had famed" sue
ceeded in reaching first in consequence of
an overthrow of McIlaughlin's to that base,
and afterwards tailed, as did also Finn,
and in the eighth inning Caveny, Gagus
and Taylor tailed, the Pioneers winning
by score of six to three and an inning to
spare. Gagus, the new man of the Pho
neers, maintained his reputation as a fine
ball-player by the mastery manner in
which he played short-stop, and his good
batting, including three Dagger to left
field, which brought in Caveny The bat
teries Of the two mines did very well, but
there was plenty left for the fielders to do,
and much of it was very prettily done
Barry's pitching was most effective in the
earlier portion of the game, and Firms at
the close. Carroll and Mclaughlin were
both active and reliable behind the bat
The Pioneers made two interesting double
plays. Barry got much applause for catch
ing red-hot liner from the bat and Rob-
ertson was always the right man when
anything came his way. Flint made a
very fine running catch. Clay Chapman,
being tired of the abuse SO freely bestowed
upon him by visiting clubs, has refused to
act longer as umpire, and j. ]. Crone filled
the position yesterday, doing fairly well.
From the scorers stand it seemed strange
that Carroll, in the sixth inning, should
have been allowed to take first base on his
hit which looked like foul, and Barry
was certainly outside the line when he put
up his hands to catch it, and failed. Hav-
ing got on the base Carroll succeeded in
making his way home. The crowd in at
tendance gave the visiting nine courteous
treatment

California Wines.

by telegraph.
New York, June 27th.-The Tribune
prints long interview with Californian,
described as capitalist much interested
in wines, in which the wines of the coast
are enthusiastically defended. He gives
Haraszthy credit for introducing the best
wines of Europe, and says the greatest sue
cess has been had with the Zinfandel wine.
We know this wine," he says, will give
us wine equal TO any Bordeaux vintage in
existence After describing the qualities
Of other California wines, the grower says
tits to me very doubtful if the best wines
can mature in your Eastern States. The
severity of the winters must prove fatal. Ii
is therefore absolutely necessary that the
/ East should only buy finished California
wines. Hitherto there has hardly been
enough for home consumption, and fancy
the time is somewhat distant when you
may hope to get from US our best Rieslings
and Zinfandels. The man who wants tc
know what the best California wine is like
must go to California to drink it."

commencing December 4, 1871 to Deem
Der s. 1875-SIR: Having ascertained that
during your term of Office, and while you
were acting as Secretary of State of the
State of California, there was collected by
YOU for and on account of the State Library
fund, the sum of $11, 107 so, for which you
have rendered no account, as required by
law, and all of which sum you have failed
to pay into the State Treasury of the State
of California, as prescribed by law, to the
credit of the State Library fund, or at all.
1t becomes my duty and / do hereby re-
quire that, within twenty days after you
shall have received this requisition, you
shall pay said sum of money into the State
Treasury of the State of California to the
credit of the State Library fund.
This requisition is made upon you by
authority of and in obedience of Section
437 of the Political Code of the State of
California, and your failure to comply here
with will subject you to the penalties
therein provided.
You will further take notice that this

the sum of $685. 40, for which demand
was heretofore made upon you by me, uD-
der date of April 4, 1884, and that proceed
ings have not been heretofore instituted on
said prior demand for the reason that this
office subsequently discovered and has
been engaged in an examination of further
evidence disclosing such increase in the
amount first demanded. Respectfully,
JOHN p. DUNN, State Controller.

THE OHIO Fight

The country will be glad to learn of the
close of the pitiful and disgraceful fight
maintained by the Democrats in the Ohio
Legislature, against a pure ballot and an
honest election. The State Senate seated
four Republican members who had clearly
been elected and ousted four Democrats
as clearly not elected, and this, despite the
flight of the Democratic Senators from the
State, with the hope of breaking up a
quorum. On the investigation of the
Hamilton county frauds, series of out
RACES Oh the ballot-box was established
that has not been paralleled in the politi-
cal history of the country. Men were sent
no to the Legislature on returns made to
show Democratic maiorities, by changing
the arm of "7' into the loop Of 49,"

THE NURsERYMEs.
Permanent Organization Finally Gfiectt d

Officers Elected.
The. Nurserymen's Convention resumed
its session Saturday morning in Irving Hail.
San Francisco, w. NJ. Williams, of Fresno,
in the chair.
The Committee on Constitution and BY
laws gave in their report. The drafted con-
stitution provided the Association should
be known as the Pacific Coast Nurserymen' 5
Association, and thar only nurserymen,
florists and seedsmen engaged in active
business should be eligible for membership.
The objects Of the Association are stated to
be TO promote the general interests of the
members, 10 protect their patrons from
fraudulent dealers, and for the exchange
and sale of stock. The bylaws require that
the annual meeting shall be held on the
last Friday in May, and they require that
each member of the Association at such
annual meeting shall furnish 10 the society
an approximate estimate of all the market
able stock for sale'by him for the ensuing
year, in order that the members may know
what kind of a market they may expect.
The nurserymen whose business was not
very extensive rather objected to the latter
clause, as in sense disclosing their bust
ness to the larger dealers, but the latter
prevailed, and the constitution and bylaws
were adopted as submitted by the COM
mittee.
The Association then organized with the
election of the following officers: Presi-
dent, James Shinn; Vice-President, w. w.
Williams; Secretary, R. d. Fox; Treas
urer, John Rock Executive Committee
R. Williamson, G.. Essen and President
Shinn.
The following prominent nurserymen
and firms of the State were represented at
the Convention James Shinn. Niles; w.
r. Strong Il Co., Sacramento; w. NJ. Will
Jams, Fresno; Vim. Coghlan, Marysville /;
w. III. Pepper, Petaluma G. Tosetti. San
Leandro e. Gill, Oakland; Coates & Tool,

Fresno; Gustav Essen, Fresno; c. w.
Reed & Co., Sacramento; Isaac Collins,
Haywards; John Rock, San Jose; r. D.
Fox, San Jose; California Nursery Com
pany, Niles.
1t was suggested by P Williamson that
each member furnish the Secretary, at the
next meeting, with . blacklist" OF those
who are inclined to cheat the nurserymen,
and especially the names of customers who
were not good pay. From these statements
a tabulated list will be compiled and pub
lished for the benefit and protection of the
Society. The Convention then adjourned
TO meet again on the last Friday in August,
Immediately after the adjournment of the
Horticultural Society.

THE pEMoeRAcY TO BLAEIE.

The understanding is that the Senate
Chinese restriction measure has no hope Of
life in the House. So, then, the Demo-
cratic party must go before the voters OF
California next fall and explain how it is
that Republican Senate passes a vigor-
Gus Restriction Act and a Democratic
House fails to follow suit. 1t will be said
that in this State all parties are anti
Chinese, and that no political issue can be
made here on that account But this is
not true. We have facts before the pee
pie the least of them are capable of com
pretending, and about which they viii
make no mistake. They see party
asking for political favor that went into
the National seat on the positive promise
and platform pledge to remedy the Chi
nese evil. They see that party dominant
in the representative branch of the Ma
tional Legislature, and with sufficient
strength to pass any measure it chooses.
They see that Senate, Republican in
character, passes a strong restrictive bill,
after the House has practically refused to
do so, its committee having reported ad-
versely to all the material matters en-
bodied in the bill passed by the Senate.
They realize that bill bearing the
broad Endorsement of the upper house is
refused passage in the lower, and that the
people of California are turned back for
consolation to the inefficient old measures,
through the technical chinks and judicial
cracks of which the coolies have been
pouring. 1t is not possible that the peo-
pie will make any mistake in fixing re-
sponsibility where it belongs in this mat
ter There are few days more in which
it is possible for the Democracy to escape
the wrath of the coming fall elections

OFFICE OF THE STATE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION, SACRAMENTO,
June 25 ISS6

explanatory
OFFICE OF THE STATE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION, SACRAMENTO,
June 20, 1886.
EDS RECORD UNION: 1t is known that
the Supreme Court of the United States
decided that the assessments of the Cen
trail and Southern Pacific Railroads by the
State Board of Equalization in 1880, 1881
and 1882 were void, because the Board in
estimating the value of the roadway in
cluded therein the value of the fences built
by the companies along their respective
roadways.
There seems to be an impression that the
same vice attaches to the assessments of
1888, 1884 and 1885. Such is not the case.
The present Board was elected in. 1882.
The members heard the argument in re-
spect to the fences in the United States Cir
cult Court, and when the Board met in
August, 1855, it definitely determined not
to include the value of fences i'll the assess
meats of the roads, and such value was not
included either in 1888, 1884 or 1885, and
will not be in 1856.
1t has been suggested that this Board
assessed a right of way to the Central Pa
cifc Company across the bay of San Fran
CISCO To understand this question it must
be known that the Central Pacific operates
its road across the bay by means of the
steamers Transit and Thoroughfare. In
describing the right of way or roadway
the Central Pacific in its statements for
1880, 1881 and 1882, described the track as
crossing the bay, operated by the steam
ers Transit and Thoroughfare." 1t is to be
presumed that the former Board did assess
| those steamers. In the June term of 1888
! the Supreme Court of this State decided
that the Board had no power to assess the
steamers, as they formed no part of the
| roadway. On account of this decision,
believe that the company contends that
! the whole assessment made by the former
| Board is void
| As the Board does not assess railroads
/ until August, it therefore had notice of the
| decision last named, and of course did moi
assess the steamers, being careful that the
description of the road, for San Francisco
should end at the ferry slip, and for Ala
media, should begin at the:.mole, so called
where the actual rails begin.
/ Any stipulation or finding made, or per.
mitted to be made, by the Attorney-G Cen
eral on the records of the United States
Circuit Court showing that the present
State Board of Equalization. for and in the
assessments of 1885, 1884 and 1885, assessed
| the fences or the steamers or the distance
across the San Francisco Bay, is unwar-
ranted, and not sustained by the records OF
the Board by any fact or inference what
ever On the contrary, the record is plainly
| Otherwise fact that the members of the
| Board will substantiate under oath il
necessary. Respectfully yours,

Chairman State Board of Equalization.
