eaten them, but after all this is an

poison. The real test is a plumpudding.

FLOODS POWER OF ATTORNEY.
A day or two ago there was recorded
in the Office of the county recorder n
general power OF attorney, by which
Cora Jane Flood, wife OF James G.
Flood, appoints James l.. Flood young
jim to act for her in all matters. The
instrument was executed last May, so
that ave at that period Jim Flood
thought that he must make the long
voyage, not the trip from here to
Europe, but the longer one from this
world TO the next. He may recover,
after all, for the waters of Carls-
bad are famous for his malady,
which is Bright's disease of the kid
This can be cured If the patient
will adopt a system of starvation or of
living Upon the most unpleasant fare.
Poker Schenck cured himself by &C.
cepting a diet of beefsteak at noon, and
oatmeal, alleviated by molasses syrup,
at 6 in the morning and 6 at night, and
by going to bed at 8 and rising at 8. AS
his one passion is for cards, he did not
care much for the good living he sur
rendered, buvit is different with Flood,
who likes solid comfort with considera-
Bile champagne in it. If he should re-
cover and return he will be popular toa
certain extent, for we like to see Cali
fornians living when other men die, and
holding up the reputation of the state
for superiority in everything.
THURMAN SAID GREASERs.
What in the world possessed the Old
Roman to go out of his way to insult the
native Californians by the use of the
degrading term greaser? Thurman
said: Had The opponents Of the demo-
cratic party had their way California
would be to-day the home of the greaser
and the republic itself would be incom-
plete." The state of California would
be incomplete and very incomplete

Vallejo, and his brother of the old mis-
sion Of San Jose, and without such men
as Pacheco, who has, although young,
an honorable political record, which
will compare favorably with all but
that of a dozen American Cali
fornians. Vallejo was in command of
northern California at the time
of the Mexican war, and it is known to
all men that he warmly approved
the separation of the state from Mexico,
and desired it's entrance into the union.
He met the c%onquerors hall way, for he
realized the advantages that would ac-
crue to his native California. Had he
utilized the military resources at his
command, California might not have
been American for many a bloody year,
for the country is u wonderful one for
guerilla warfare. But he wished that
California might be an American state,
and so he held his hand when he might
have struck al terrible blow, and he
yielded at the first moment that he
could do so with safety TO the com
munity. l have all this from his own
lips, and l have talked With his brother
| for hours at a stretch about it, for, to
tell the truth, the Old mission of San
Jose is n Of my camping grounds.
California honOrs its native citizens OF
Spanish origin, and no California, ever
did or would insult one of them
by the o%pprobrious term, ''greaser.".
IL S. P.'s BLANKET MORTGAGE.
The ways of the Southern Pacific are
past finding out. The road acts as il
| there we're no state laws, no sense OF
wrong Or right in the community, and
no other motive for human action than
money. The Southern Pacific is the
basket into which the thieves of the
Central Pacific-Crocker, Hopkins,
Huntingdon ct alas the lawyers say
put their stealings. With the money
which they stole from the United States
and acquired by skinning alive the con
sumers of California and Arizona, they
built a road which connects at some
point in Texas with railroads to Calves
they built a road connecting with Port
land in Oregon. The points of junction
of these two roads is at Port Costa
which is On the asst side OF Sar
Francisco bay, north OF Oak
land, and going in the Director
of Monte Diablo. There is on the
northern shore of the bay near Vallejo
