Mr.. Bassonett pledged himself to, sum-
port the ticket and platform.
Mr.. E. German moved that the ticket
as nominated from top to bottom be rati.
fed unanimously. Carried.
Mr.. j. Marion Brooks offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which he read:
Resolred, That this Convention con.
demns the course of VIM. H. Vandever
in Congress in violating his pledge to the
people by voting against tariff reform
and by his inactivity in pressing meas
ures before Congress for the benefit of
this coast, and especially of Southern
California;
Resolued, further, By this Convention,
that in view of the notorious fact that
the Democrats of this district are entitled
to seat in the Congress of The United
States which should be occupied by Hon.
j. d. Lynch, that it endorses the Demo
cratic candidate for Congress, Reel B.
Terry, and therefore urges the people to
use their best efforts to have him elected
and thereby repudiate the fraud by
which the said Vandever now holds his
seat in Congress.
These resolutions were handed to the
Secretary of the Convention, and Mr.. J i.
Marion Brooks moved that the resolu-
tions be adopted by standing vote.
When General Mathews put the mo-
ton the delegates rose to their feet and
endorsed the resolution by giving three
cheers and waving their hats.
Hon. w. S. Herndon, of Texas, who
had been observed in the hall, YVES
called upon for q speech, and coming
| forward said that he had been watching
the methods of conducting political
affairs in the interest of the Democratic
party and was much pleased to find that
whatever dissensions there were, they
were not brought before the public but
were settled quietly. He was certain
that Democratic victory was to come in
November. Only few moments before
he had talked to Republican who had
said: "The Democrats are putting up a
very good ticket, and their candidate for
Sheriff will win by 500 votes. If Re-
publican would say this what should a
Democrat say? He was convinced upon
looking over the field thai the county
ticket would be victorious if the Dem O.
Gratis stood together, and not only the
county ticket would be crried but the
State ticket and the National ticket. He
discussed the tariff reform in an eloquent
manner and concluded b. promising to
do all he could for the Dem locratic nomi-
nees in the county.
The Convention then adjourned sine
die.

A Burglary Case Ends Abruptly I'm
Court.

Court.
The case of A. G. Painter and five
others, who were charged with having
committed a burglary in Pomona six
weeks ago, came up in Justice Kings
Court yesterday, and terminated in
queer manner. The complaining wit
nesses were all Cinnamon, as it was the
house of Wah Yo which was said to
have been entered by painter and his
companions. Wah Yo swore he saw
each one of the defendants enter the
room, and that he could identity them
singly. All Now unhesitatingly identi-
fed two of the number. All Ching was
then brought in from the hall where he
had been waiting and asked what he knew
about the case. He declared that he saw
two of the men who broke into the house
and could identify them.
"Pick them out" said the Court.
"These um," said Ching, indicating
two strangers who had strolled into the
room to see the case, and who had moth
ing whatever to do with it.
care you sure these are the men ?" de-
manded Justice King.
"Sure," said Ching.
''We can prove an alibi, your Honor"
said the strangers.
; There was roar OF laughter, and when
it subsided the District Attorney moved
to dismiss the case. In his haste to
identify somebody Ching had picked out
the wrong men and had spoiled Wah
Yo's scheme to get the men convicted.

A DEGRADING VICE.
The Greed for Wealth and It's Territ
Effects on It's Victims.

The Greed for Wealth and It's Terrible
Effects on It's Victims.
1t is one of the marked characteristics
of greed, that there is no satisfying it
or allaying it's cravings. You may
gorge greedy man until he is ready
to burst, until mot another morsel of
food can be forced into his craw, and
he will still be in distress because he
can hold no more. And so of the man
whose only thought is to increase his
wealth; the more he gets the more he
wants, and the less serupulous he be-
comes as to the means by which his
ends are to be accomplished. At the
outset a man who is eager to get rich
will have some respect for the rights of
others, and will hesitate about grind
ing money out of his fellow men in dis
honest ways, but with increase Of
wealth he grows less and less scrupu-
lous as to how his gains are to be
secured, until at last he will allow no
mans rights to stand in his way, and
will unhesitatingly compromise honor,
decency, and every principle of justice
than be checked in his ambition to be-
come more and more wealthy. When
greed is allowed it's own way it will
continue to gain a frmer and firmer
hold upon man until it drives from
his breast every feeling of sympathy,
love and compassion for his brother
man; it will sap him of his strength to
resist the assaults of avarice, and will
shrivel up his soul until none of those
manly virtues which raise man above
the brute can find lodgment in his
hNart.-Rev. II. r. Donehoo.

Little Kingdom.
ROumanian oratory finds it's natural
and public forum in the lower house of
the Legislature, and the style of the
deliberations of this body shows that
the people aspire after something to
which they have not attained Both the
Senate and the House are elective

CATER the manner of the British Houses
of Lords and Commons) and crowded
and corn-hurting condition of things is
the result, with pushing for seats and
a perching of some members upon the
friendly knees of their fellows, and the
lodging around of some of the many
pillars of the building when one of them
desires to address the president, and
the furious ringing of his bell almost
continuously during the session, call

of several secretaries going on while
members multaneously demand hear

and lather themselves in. their frantic
and heated efforts to- lie heard, and
only sure o. that when drawing
laughter by a joke, or Misses by attack
ing somebody or something. The Ian
guage is quick and sharp, the usual face
mustached and whiskered, the gestures
jerky, exorbitant and .powerless. The
policy of the Government is always to
delay the House getting in order as
long as possible afterthe hour set, and
to make it adjourn as soon as possible
without having done any thing; while
the policy of the members al large is
to have time enough to deliver their
orations. The people are hardly yet
aware of what are the true functions of
a legislative body, and yet they are pa
triotic enough to feel satisfaction in hav-
ing one great honor in being it's men,
bers, and general confidence in the
King from the west, that, no matter how
many mistakes they may make, he is
still strong enough and able enough to
keep them right side up. In the same

Instead of having somebody hunting

when the time for your work to begin

for your work, not ready to begin get

fifteen minutes of your employers time
In the morning and then as much more
