1t Is a matter of importance that this section

Yentl0n to be held at Sacramento next FIR day.
we 30 not think those 10 attendance need par

representative men should be selected who
should attend and participate in the discussions
Inere Is no going behind the fact that some

what that something is remains to be discov-
cred tangible plan has been proposed which
might be modified into just what is required. A
drainage canal hundred and fifty miles in
| length inclosed by levees two thousand feet
apart, following the natural course of the rivers
| would entail an enormous expense, and doubt
| is frequently expressed as to the statement
made by Mr.. Boschke that the swamp and over

ing could afford to pay for the entire work. AS
the meeting promises to be largely attended.

Canitol Avenue.

The residents of Capitol Avenue are
making move to get rid of the name of
NJ street, by which that avenue has been
commonly called. Capitol Avenue is the
correct name of the street and there is no
reason why it should not be adopted en-
tirely. At present great confusion arises in
the delivery of packages and mail on &C.
count OF the similarity in the names of N
and n streets. This will soon be corrected
if all the residents of the street will have
their mail and all packages sent to their
number on Capitol Avenue instead of N

Metropolitan Theater.

To a splendid audience Emma Abbott
and her support sang Verdi's La Traviata."
1t was unquestionably the finest operate
performance Miss Abbott has given here it
was musical banquet spread with bounte-
business and exquisite taste. The true value
of Miss Abbott's voice and the charm of her
finished style have not before been made so
manifest here. Her Violetta of last night
puts her far above former consideration in
the judgment of music-lovers in Sacra-
mento. She was intensely dramatic; her
voice was full of emotion, even to overflow
ing; her singing was brilliant TO a degree
that surprised even her most ardent adj
mirers. Between acts she sang with charm
ing effect The Last Rose of Summer"
Pruette, the baritone, and Michelena, the
tenor, were excellent, and the former won
recall. Tonight, Gilbert & Sullivan's
latest production, The Yeomen of the
Guard" 1t is TO be regretted that the
crowded condition of our columns prevents
some explanation of the scheme of the
opera. 1t is claimed for it that it is music
ally superior to any of Sulliyan's operas,
and dramatically more sensible and con-
nected than any OF Gilbert's previous work.
Miss Abbott has the exclusive right to pro-
duce the opera on this coast. and she is to
give it with faithful adherence to original
costumery and effects. 1t calls for the ap-
pearance of the entire company. Between
acts Miss Abbott will sing Home,
Sweet Home as farewell to her Sacra-
mento friends.

Nothing can be more appropriate as wed
ding or holiday present than the Chamber
Toilet Sets being shown, made of silk
muflers, bordered with lace or fringe They are
shown in very elaborate designs, with every
possible variation OF color, and the rich effect of
the silk and bright coors is much more pleasing
than the conventional lace spreads so long in
use. This use for mufflers seems to be the latest
craze, and it admits of so many variations with
such pleasing effects, that it is certain to become
very popular with the ladies. II is but another
Illustration OF the ability of ladies to utilize the
beautiful in the decoration of their homes"

1t Leads All Others,

1t can not truthfully be denied that the
Burlington Route, C., b. 4 =. K. r, is do
ing an extensive business, both passenger
and freight. OF the first named branch of
its service the Chicago Herald recently said,
in speaking of the occasion of the Nation al
Republican Convention: 1.-THE Burlington
Road probably brought in more people than
any other. Altogether it is estimated that
from June IL to 70, the period of the excur-
sion rates, over 1900 strangers came to
Chicago over the Burlington" This was
exclusive of suburban passengers and
mostly in addition to its heavy regular pass
enger traffic. In receipts of live stock, the
Union Stock Yards Reports show the Bur
lington to be far i'll the lead. The average
number of cars brought in by it during the
first six months Of the years 1886, 1887 and
1883 is 26 40; and the number for the first
half of the year ISIS, notwithstanding the
temporary depression caused by the recent
great strike ON its lines, WAS "a, 425, or but
little below the average. The latter figure
also represents about "a per cent. of tho
total number of cars, lG!, 4l3 brought to the
Yards for the last half year, being more
than six per cent in excess of the receipts
by any other road.

A Holiday for the wife.

Give your wife vacation. She needs
one. Little cares are harder 10 bear than
greater responsibilities, and she has many
more cares than her husband, aid some4
times as great responsibilities. A wom
ans work is never done; and modern life
has increased and intensified it Cares
have multiplied faster than conveniences.
Life Is moro complex, its demands are
greater and more numerous, society more
exacting. Who needs vacation N she
does noti And she can not get it at home.
The more quiet and rcstfSl the home is to
you, the more evidence that it Is care, II
not a burden, to her. a housekeeper can
no more take a vacation in her home than
a merchant in his counting room. Even
though her absence occasions inconveni-
encc, give an occasional vacation.-Unftcd

THE COMING CAMPAIGN.


II Will BE Battle Upon n Higher Than
Personal Plane.
THE sober second thought" to use
tritc saying, of the Republican party
of the country evidently does not bring
with it a feeling of citation over the
nomination of General Harrison to the
Presidency. That he is a weak candi-
date in great party crisis is patent to
the ObScrvant among those on whom he
must rely for support.
During his political career he has
never demonstrated his ability to carry
Indiana against a united Democracy.
He was elected to a State Office in 1860,
when the Republican party was united
on one candidate for the Presidency,
while the Democracy were divided be-
tween two, with Bell and Everett, a
fourth combination, draining the
divided party of conservatives who
were not wholly satisfied with either
Douglass or Breckenridge. In 1864 no
was elected Reporter of the Supreme
Court in the midst of the excitement Of
the war.
In 1876 he was overwhelmingly de-
feated by Blue-Jeans" Williams for
Governor. Four years later Demo-
cratic dissension permitted the election
of Republican Legislature. General
Harrison, who had not been mentioned
as Il candidate, was fortunate enough
to capture the caucus nomination for
Senator.
In 1886, when he was a pronounced
candidate to succeed himself in the
Senate, and when local feuds among
the Democrats were at a high pitch,
he was defeated, and Judge Turpie, a
Democrat, succeeded him.
His vote against the Chinese Restric-
ton bill invited the implacable hostili-
ty of California and the Pacific slope.
His attitude on the bill legalizing the
importation of pauper labor from
Europe under contract will weaken
him everywhere that American labor
has been subjected to this unnatural
and un-American competition.
The labor organizations in his own
State and throughout the country rec
ognize in him the persistent and I'M
compromising opponent of such organ
izations.
But this is not to be campaign of
personalities. The battle will be upon
a higher plane, and the overshadOwing
issue will be that of the tariff. = Cincin-
natl Enquirer.
