There is nothing so cheap as advice, TO
the giver, but the receiver often finds it
very expensive to act upon. That is the
kind of advice Democrats are giving Re-
| publicans just now, and the reason they
| give it is because they hope it will be ac-
| cepted, for the Standardization LadepeRd-

| McGlynn and George have dissolved
partnership, and the latter has concen-
trated all the affections of his weeping
| heart upon Grover Cleveland. Grover is
welcome to it, and from present appear
ances affection is all he can expect, for
| Georges party is dwindling like the last
| run of shad.-CleUeldnd Leader
The plumbers, the union plumbers of
course, who were working upon the Hotel
Del Coronado have announced their inten-
| ton to cease soldering tin except they are
| permitted to adiudge the value of =" the
| tinker" In fine, they have gone upon a
strike. Undoubtedly, they will continue
| to uphold the rights of the poor workin
| mon until they have melted all their sill
yer in the pot, and wake up some morning
in close proximity to the liquor den from
which they have been kicked out penniless

| Mr.. Stanford seems to have an apprehen-
| sion that an out-and-out exclusion Chinese
| bill will encounter a Presidential veto. He
| did not express this fear in so many words,
but admitted that the question was how to
| get rid of treaty obligations by legislation
| that would meet the approval of the Ex-
ecutive. A measure which would help the
| Pacific coast would be by placing reason
able limit upon the time within which the
| prior residence plea shall be valid. The
| Federal Judges Tor this State, who Ger
| tainly cannot be regarded as indifferent to
| treaty obligations, agree that the go-and-
come clause in the treaty may De subjected
| to reasonable limits +. Gail.
A good farmer will take care of his prop
erty. His buildings are kept in good re-
pair There are no barn doors off the
| hinges, no shingles off the roof. His gates
are in good condition. with proper fasten-
ings. He does not climb over the fence
| because it is easier than to open gate.

rows are put under a shelter when he is
| through with them. His wagons are under
cover. His buggy, if he has ore, is in a
carriage-house clean aud ready for a trip.
| The harness is hung upon a peg. also
| brushed clean. The carriage robe is put
away from the dust.-Sd1 Jose Mercury.
The method pursued by Judge Cheney in
determining the question of Anschlags
sanity is one in accord with the dictates of
common sense The man was examined
BIZ a number of reputable physicians and
! they gave their testimony before a jury
called simply to decide whether or not he
was insane. This is the method pursued
| by the Courts to determine if man whose
sanity IS questioned shall De sent TO the
asylum or permitted 20 retain his freedom.
The decisions of such juries are entirely
satisfactory in such cases, and they should
! be in cases where insanity is set up in q
| trial for murder. The ordinary method in
such trials is to review the entire family
! history. though the accused was never sus-
pected of insanity.-Los angeles Express.
The remarks of Senator Stanford on the
! declination of Mr.. Blaine are about the
most pertinent of any that we have seen.
i We are not certain that his forecast, that it
/ Is liable to cause the Democrats TO nomin-
ate someone besides Mr.. Cleveland, is not
shrewd one. Against a man like Senator
Callom 1t will be pretty tough undertake
