How the Germans Will Vote.

The Illinois Staots Zeitung. probably
the most influential German paper pub
lished west Of New York, refuses to sup
port the Republican National ticket. The
editor, speaking of the temperance
clause in the platform, says: cit will, l
think, cause them to lose the election.
The Tribune apologies for the free
whisky plank, and at the same time says
that Boutelle's addendum to the plat
form is meaningless. The effort to make
straddle is amusing. 1t makes no
difference, however, as the Germans will
put their own Interpretation upon the
words and act accordingly. We will not
advocate free whisky; we will not advo-
cate prohibition. The platform practic-
ally advocates both, 80 you can see how
much favor it meets with from us.
Every effort was made to avoid placing
the party on record on the issue. Mr..
Boutelle's resolution was the same that
the anti-saloon Republicans advocated
before the Committee on Platform. 1t
could gain no foothold there, and Sena-
tor Farwell and others tried to keep it
out of the Convention by all means in
their power. When it was sprung, how
ever, the delegates were afraid to vote
against it,"

North Chino Water works.

Among the notable enterprises of this
section of the country is the artesian
water works we'll advanced by Richard
Gird to supply the orange land along the
northern line of the vast Chino ranch,
and also for this town. The general plan
embraces the boring Of artesian wells
northeast OF Pomona on land of sufficient
elevation for pipe line to carry the
water on the highest land, the laying of
a 16-inch cement pipe, the building of a
receiving reservoir with distributing iron
pipes. The distance from the wells to
the land is little over three and one-half
miles. Of the work required this much
has been done: Eleven flowing wells
secured; 5000 feet of trenches dug; 5000
feet of pipe laid, and three miles more of
cement pipe now in the yard ready for
laying. Fully forty men are engaged in
this work. The project is an expensive
one and Of great value to this section Of
country. Men who develop water and
put it upon land are pioneers in settling
the country and public benefactors.
They make it possible for the energetic
laborer of small means to make de-
lightful and valuable home in a most
agreeable country.-[Chino Champion.

A MEDICAL MULE.
The Wonderful Healing Properties
of a Brass Kicker.

The Wonderful Healing Properties
of a Brass Kicker.
A friend, recently returned from Pek-
ing, tells us that he saw a method of cure
which may be new to some of our read.
ers. In temple outside one of the city
gates is to be found brass mule of life
size, supposed to have wonderful healing
properties. Patients suffering from every
imaginable disease seek this temple to
obtain cure. The method pursued is
as follows: Supposing you suffer from
sciatica you 60 with all speed to this
famous temple, and having discovered
the particular part of the brass mule
corresponding to the painful region of
your own body, you first rub the animal
a certain number of times, and then
with the same hand shampoo your
own disabled member, and then-well,
then the pain goes. The special feature
of this method of cure is it's delightful
simplicity. Is your tooth aching ?-just
scrub the mules teeth and afterwards
your own, and yiola! the cure is COM
plete. Have you an ulcer of the cornea ?
pass the tips of your fingers to and fro
over the particular eyeball of the mule,
and then with we'll regulated pressure
rub repeatedly the afflicted eye. But we
are forgetting; the mule has unhappily
lost his sight during the many years he
has been engaged in his benevolent work
the eyeballs, we are told, having been
gradually worn away as the result of
constant friction until now you have
only the empty orbits to operate
upon. Yet don't be distressed dear
reader, the success is guaranteed to be
as real as IL was formally Ia the cure
always certain? some would-be appli-
cant may inquire. Well, the temple is
covered with laudatory tablets in honor
of the mule. Isn't this testimony enough
And if you want more, the animal is
patched in all directions with fresh pieces
of brass, put on to cover holes produced
by the constant friction of eager patients; !;
and a new perfectly whole mule stands
ready at hand, awaiting the day when
his old colleague, having fallen to pieces,
shall give him an opportunity of likewise
benefiting posterity. -[China Medical

A santa montca Dis spute.

Santa Monica was visited yesterday by
one Of the largest crowds that ever as
sembled together at that place. A
fracas occurred in the bar room Of the
Arcadia. the dispute arising upon some
trivial pretext, but it ended rather
seriously, as one of the wranglers broke
seltzer bottle over the head Of the
other. The smitten man fell heavily to
the floor, and it was some minutes ere he
regained consciousness. He will carry
the marks of the fray about with him for
some time to come, as his forehead was
badly lacerated.

A word to Dyspeptics.

warn the reader against the abuse of
aperients, tonics and vinous stimulants
as cures. Plain diet must be taken, and
not too much of that, and anything that
is known to disagree must be carefully
avoided. 1t may be well to give up even
tea and coffee for time, using cocatina
instead. improvement is sure to follow,
but, mark me, do not be mislead by this
improvement and jump to the conclusion
that you are we'll and that it was the tea
or the coffee that was to blame for your
trouble. The giving up.of any stimulant
-of course tea and coffee are stimulants
nearly always results in temporary i'm
provement, and this latter may be made
permanent by careful regulation in diet.
Above all, do not take much fluid of any
kind, either with meals or at any other
time., A cupful of hot water, with a
squeeze of lemon and small teaspoonful
of glycerine, drank about ten minutes be-
fore breakfast, may do much good, and,
at all events, it is harmless. II [Cassell's

The Everhardy Garden Party.

In the social annals Of Anaheim there
has never been more enjoyable gather
ing than that which assembled at the
elegant residence of Mr.. Everhardy on
Thursday evening last. Numberless
Japanese lanterns had been hung through
the spacious grounds and upon the piazzas
of the house. Their softly colored tints,
blended with the clear full moonlight,
presented the appearance to one approach
ing as of a brilliantly lit stage set
ting. The evening was as perfect as
only a California evening can be, pleas
anter out Of doors than within, and the
guests, after q warm welcome by the
host and hostess and the fair daughter,
Miss Ida, proceeded to enjoy themselves
with all heartiness. Beneath the trees,
whose branches glittered with radiating
lines Of lanterns, stood long table. It
was crowded to overflowing with various
comestibles, flowers in beautiful bou-
quets and, well everything down
to pickles and olives. At the
proper time everyone sat down
to the bountiful collation. and
with appetites sharpened by the
unusual scene and by the soft evening
air did full justice to the work before
them. Impromptu toasts were offered
and responded to and considerable time
was spent in this happy fashion. After
wards with music and games the evening
sped only too quickly, and "time to go

completely settled. He wished he could
say the same for France. In France,

Railways and Civilization.

Railways have so cheapened the cost
of transportation that, while load of
wheat loses all of its value by being
hauled 100 miles on a common road,
meat and flour enough to supply
one man year can, according to
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, be hauled 1900
miles from the West to the East for one
days wages of that man, if he be a
skilled mechanic. If freight charges are
diminished in the future as in the past,
this can soon be done for one days
wages of comman laborer.
The number of persons employed in
constructing, equipping and operating
our railways is about 100000.

A burlesque feature in the Convention
has been the exhibition of Foraker OBJ
jecting to President Cleveland that he is
not gentleman. Foraker's idea Of a
gentleman, as illustrated in his own case,
is cross between Mark NEEDLE and
Uriah Heep. Foraker appears to have
instinct for attacking ladies, however,
that is ali his own, and for which it
would be unfair to hold his prototypes
responsible. It would be difficult to say
against whom his chivalrous lance is
more vindictively set in rest, the lovely
Mrs. Cleveland or the venerable Mrs.
Thurman. The effort is equally congen-
ial to Foraker in either case. Boston

Mr.. Fuller is right in declining to take
notice of anonymous charges re1ecting
upon him personally. Senator Edmunds
was wrong in transmitting any such COM

and covert attacks upon a Presidential
nomination are beneath the notice of the
Senate Judiciary Committee. Much less
should they ever be permitted to get out
of the committee-room or be faunted in
the face of the candidate. 1t has flavor

will be swift to condemn.-[W Washington
