''TuE belief seems to be strong with
some men that all the Democrats have
to do to win in 1890 and In 1892 Is to
plant themselves fairly and squarely on
the Republican platform, and to nom

their betrayal Of the Democratic party

of several others who had examined
into the matter. He read an extract
from the writings of DIR. Alfred Carpenter,
an authority on the subject, as follows:
"Sewage farms do not cause disease
amongst those living upon them, nor do
they in any way ipjure animals residing
on them" The doctor said that in his
opinion sewage should not be used when
the rain is falling, and the greatest
care should be taken to prevent the mat
ter from decomposing on the ground.
This would be hard matter no doubt,
but it should be done; and as used south
Of Vernon he thought the sewage was
Objectionable, and that the people had
cause for complaint. If the proper
method was taken in using the sewage
and distributing itoyer the ground, there
could be no reason for complaint. The
greatest care should be taken. II not,
then the sewage would be dangerous.
If the ground became saturated
and sosked with sewage in the
neighborhood of well, then the water
would become very likely impure and
cause sickness. 1t had been reported
that there had been great deal of fever
in the district, but as it was outside of
the city there had been no reports as to
the number of deaths or cases, and it
was impossible to stats whether there had
been more sickness there than in other
localities. He had been called upon to
attend cares of fever all over the city,
and it was liable to break out anywhere
at any time, yet the sanitary condition OF
Los Angeles, according to the records,
would compare favorably with that Of
any city in TIE United States.
Mr.. Cohn moved that when the COM
mission adjourn it adjourn until Friday
at l o'clock, and that at That time the
Committee on Utilization of Sewage be
ready to make its report. Carried.
The commission then adjourned,

AT the meeting of the Central W. G. T..
u, on Friday, Mrs. Gurbutt's paper on
Mothers Meetings." was followed by
discussion Of che feasibility of forming
cooking and serving classes as prevent
i've measure. the sense of the meeting
was that did more women understand
the science of home making, fewer men
would be driven TO saloons for that salts
faction which the home living should
supply. II was reported that in few
weeks a room that might be used for
such classes would be at the disposal of
the Union, and the matter was left open
for further discussion.
Mrs. Annie T. Armour reported a large
field for work in that part of the city Wis
tied by the members of the Evangelistic
Band, and several ladies expressed de-
sire to enter upon such work as soon as
it should be organized.
The President reported the time of
Major Hilton's visit as December 9Th to

blacks ran one goal, then the yellows
got one. The innings closed by the
blacks winning archer goal, putting
them 3 to l. In the last innings after
q hot contest time was called, neither
side getting goal. The excitement ran
at white heat as the horsemen chased
the ball over the field, now all scattered
and by and by all in bunch striking
seemingly wildly at the wooden sphere.
Young is very expert player, seldom
missing the ball even when
on dead run and whether hitting for
wards or backhanded. Most of the men
are new at the game, but they show
great skill. The game will become pop

Yesterday was greatly enjoyed by the

"You are doubtless aware that n

portion of our convict labor In the
manufacture of binding twinc. The
opinion prevails that without loss to

duced and made available to our
farmers at price materially below
that which II now commands in the
market. For this reason ard he
cause of the vast quantity used an

the matter will commend elf to
you as one deserving of the most
thorough Investigation. IL should
be found that such o. erations are
feasible, and they will result In II

gagged In agricultural pursuits,

ters are confident the days of COM
mon marine engines and propellers
are numbered, and will soon be
thrown out of all first class ships as
old iron. Saving in space, greater
economy I'm fuel, increased safety,
improved comforts for passengers,
are mentioned as a few of the inn
portant results that will attend this
outflow of high pressure water.
The water jet, as a hydraulic sys-
tenn for the propulsion of vesse's,
has been many times tried with ex-
ceIlent results, but has not proved
economical AZ compared with the
ordinary marine engine and propel-
Ter.
On the trials Of his small expert
mental boat he used jet only three
eighths Of an inch i'm diameter, with
a water pressure OF 900 pounds to
the inch, and obtained speed OF ten
to twelve miles per hour. Many ex-
periments were then made with this
boat. The apparatus was crude and
hurriedly made, but the results
yielded much new, ins ruclve, and
valuable knowledge concerning The
practical propelling powers of small
jets at high velocitie1; aid this new
knowledge is embodied IL. the novel
craft which is now receiving her
finishing touches. One hundred
thousand dollars, clean Gosh, have
been put into the little vessel by the
contributions of a Jumoer of abe
citizens, who fully believe in the cor
rectness Of the calculations of the
ingenious inventor.

AN rLLADvisED PLEA.

With the very i'r,t accounts Of th'
Conemaush calamity the country
was paipstakinaly Informed that i
w.'s due to n "cioud-bursip-an In
TANGIBLE, indefinite, unknown some
thing which removed the loss of lift
and property from the domain o
human responsibility. AS the facts
became known, and it was clearly
seen that the recklessness of a sport
ing club and the cupidity of a rail
way company were likely to involve
the respective corporations in ques-
ton of damages, the plea was set up
that the sufferers alone were to
blame.
They had, we are told, ample
warning.
An engineer in pay of the club has
been found, who says he fores,,w
the inevitable as early rs noon on
that black Friday, and, mounting
his horse, gave such timely notice to
South Fork that only one life-and
tat needlessly-was lost at that
place. The inference is that the H.
900 or 1900 vic.ims at Johnstown.
MorI clsville and the other hamlets
neglected this warning and invited
their fate In spirit of foolhardlness.
This is n paltry subterfuge
which cannot win. 1t will excite
only feeling of indignation to be
superad led to the resentment already
created by the unchallenged fact
that the dam was known To be un-
safe for full seven years before the
final, predicted catastrophe. Every
sprilg there have been alarms which
caused the threatened inhabitants to
desert their homes and flee to the
hillsides, For years protests have
been made by property-holders and
municipal officers alike against the
terrible menace.
But II was the old story repeated.
The cry of "Wolf, wolfW finally lost
its significance; and, even IL it had
been uttered upon this occasion-of
which there is not yet the faintest
scintilla of proof-it might naturally
have been regarded as only another
harmless scare.
This effort to divert the blame and
the responsibility from the proper
shoulders-to convict the unburied
dead Of willful recklessness which
invited their terrible fate-to secure
II verdict that they had had ample
warning and should take the con-
sequences without sympathy or re-
is too cold-blooded and
despicable to be tolerated, The pro-
ponents of such theory are not well
advised. They may be listened To
later; but not now while the walls of
anguish nom the pitiably stricken
are iilling the public ear
and touching the public heart,
