Some Political Axioms.

\ Protectionist is u revenue reformer
who proposes first to take off the inter-
nal revenue taxes and to bring the Gov
ernment back to the sources OF revenue
which we're relied on previous to the
civil war; and after that he would revise
the tariff, always with the principle Of
protection uppermost.
4 Free-trader is a revenue reformer
who proposes first Of all 70 reduce the
tariff duties on foreign goods and to main
tain the internal revenue taxes untouch-
ed. The revision of the tariff he would
put through with the principle of Free
Trade with foreign nations uppermost.
By steadily pursuing this policy, all strict
ly protective duties would be swept away
in the course of about twenty years, and
the country brought substantially to in
ternal taxation and its permanent mode
of revenue. This void be equivalent 10
Free-Trade.
The men who claims 10 be Protection
ist and vet proposes to maintain the in
ternal revenue taxes unchanged, and to
begin revenue reform by smashing the
tariff, is either under delusion himself re-
garding his own opinions. or Is seeking 70
delude Others.
The man who claims to be free-trad-
er, yet proposes before making any
change in the tariff to first reduce the in
ternai revenue taxes, is a sort Of man we
have never seen and Of his existence
there is at vet no evidence.
1t Is just as well that these distinctions
should be understood exactly as they are.
There is no use in any false pretence or
misleading representation about the sub
iect.-.N. L. S,u, Dem

Mental Effect of Hot Weather.

One of the most interesting studies

Of mind to matter IS found in observing

telling every body how hot it is, with ges-
tures and ejaculations to match. He il a
mental radiator. bent upon transmitting
his own conditions 10 other minds, and,
without intending it. is generating his
own discomfort within others
On the other hand, the man Of even
temperament, Of rool mind, avoids all
mention Of physical and thermal condi-
ton on a hot day. His purpose Is TO get
his mind as far away from them as posi-
bic. He hears his nervous friend fling
down his pen or spade and declare it is
too hot for work To him congenial work
is the very best means of keeping his at
tention away from physical discomfort.
One feels comparatively cool in this
mans presence. He Is partial refriger-
ator and transmits his own conditions.
The mere physical temperature Of a
man on a hot day is not the measure Of
discomfort In this busy season hun

if one is accosted on the roadside and re-
minded that it is terribly hot day, he
will generally reply with true Yankee

mind is kept cool by congenial labor and

A Midnlght Fire.

At midnight a fire broke out at Mr..
Henry Welstead's residence, No. 219
West First street. The fire depart
ment was quickly on the scene, but
owing to the steep grade of the hill it
was little time before the water be-
gan to play on the burning building.
Several citizens, foremost amongst
whom were Mr.. Harry w. Patton and
E. G. Burlingame, had clambered into
the house, and after dragging
out the inmates succeeded in
getting out a few of the
trunks and the bedclothing at great
personal risk, as the house was en-
tirely of wood and enveloped in
flames. The fire had originated in
the kitchen, which was in the rear of
the building, from a defective stove
fue. The house is owned by Mrs.
Burns, who had it insured for $3.50 in
the Southern California Insurance
Company. Mr.. Welstead, who rents
the house, had his furniture insured
for $500, and estimates his loss at
about $500. Total loss about $1,000.
