In the Kidneys. When Inactive they speepily
fail into disrepair. Those obstinate and IA al
maladies, Bright's disease and diabetes ensue
with terrible certainty upon the inaction OF
the organs affected. CataITh of the bladder
enuresis, gravel and strangury are also to be aJ-
pretended from partial paralysis OF the bad-
der, OF which weakness and sluggishness are the
causes. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is fine
tonic and promoter of activity for the renal or
gans, and one which can be relied upon to afford
them the requisite stiT0ulus without exciting
them-an effect to be feared from the unmedl-
Gated alcoholic eXcltant OF commerce. A further
benehcent effect OF BitteTs, by renewing activ-
tty OF the kidneys, is to enable them TO drain
from the blood In its passage them, impurities
productive OF rheumatism and dropsy. Nervous
ness, fever and ague, constipation and dys-
pepsla are conquered by the Bitters

TEN PAGE EDITION.
TUESDAY. DECEMBER "a, 1899.

In accordance with established
usage in Christian countries, there
will be no paper issued from this
Office tomorrow. Dec. 25th, of all
the golden days of the year, stands
pre-eminent as the memorial of the
greatest event that has ever been re-
corded-the dawn of hope, love,
peace and goodwill to mortal man.
Let it then be kept as the brightest
and happiest day of the year, when
youth and age of every creed and
every nation may meet around the
festive board, and before the sacred
altar bless the great Ruler of the
universe for the peace and goodwill
that reigns throughout our country.

resder.

guese immigration, it was done under the
inspired precepts and divine views in
favor of suffering humanity at large, il
was, and ever will be, for humanity's
sake; that's all Aurora wants to see
all her beloved children, all her country
men, fully protected and amply covered
with the large and ample cloak of uni
versal humanity strewed all over with
glittering deeds of well-detined charity.
Now, we suppose that the ADyERTIsER
has got at last an inside view of Aurora's
doings. In desiring to avoid as much as
possible all future misery and trouble to
our countrymen, and as one of the fore
most Portuguese papers we are perfectly
right, if not authorized, to do so, and
shall sustain the dignity of our position
as such at all hazards. We do not care
to look either to the right or to the left,
we shall at all times dispense to our be-
loved people our hearts best and warm
est advice.
We feel at the same time extremely
obliged for the splendid translation of
Aurora's article of the l4th inst. because
the truth, and nothing but the truth is
there only to be found, and at the same
time, the luminous rays of the Aurora
has been thus thrown broad cast, and
every one may gladly enjoy its vivificat-
ing warmth.
All the mysti6cation to be found, lies
in the ADVERTISERS perversion of the
true sense and meaning of the question;
whereas, Aurora is sailing smoothly in
another direction. Aurora tries to i'm
part to the Portuguese, the uppermost
sentiments OF her heart in their behalf.
She has sol far done her duty as the lawful
exponent OF the true interests and we'll
being OF the Portuguese colony; pleased
and happy will she be, il they attend
and listen to her advice; if not. let them
reap the consequences. Remember,
however, that back of all this, lies
snugly ensconced the vexatious question,
high, of the Chinese and jap
aHese, the perplexing problem of which
we leave to the ADVERTISER to solve at
his leisure, and after its full digest, you
will be the first to admit Aurora's justi-
fication in the premises And as for the
rest, we leave to the future the truthful
ness of our assertion.

The cause of ballot reform, which
has won such sweeping victories in
England, in Australia and in so
many American States, has reached
Germany and found advocates there,
The question of perfectly free in
dependent uninfuenced ballot is evil
IDENTIFY one of difficulty wherever
constitutional government exists at
all. Not merely is the question the
same in Germany as in America, but
there, too, the friends of reform find
that there is only one remedy for ex-
istent evils, and that is secret voting.
1t appears that the German imperial
constitution does provide, in a way,
for secret ballot, but it does so in
way entirely insufficient to attain
the object in view. The same tricks
and evasions which have become SO
familiar to every one in Ameri-
can politics are resorted to
in Germany. the law does not
provide for the preparation of the
ballots in private compartment
especially established for the pur-
pose, nor for printing of ballots by
the government The result is that
the usual stock tricks are success
fully resorted to, such as printing
ballots which in size and color are
easily distinguishable from those of
opposing parties; following voters
up to within short distance from
the polls, ETC., etc. In some cases it
is said, voters have been provided
with ballots which they have been
required to hold up above the head
with the right hand until the ballot
box was reached, so that the substi-
tuition of any other ticket unobserved
was of course an impossibility. The
condition of parties in the German
parliament is at present unfortunate
ly such that there is little hope that
any reformatory legislation will be
passed The facts mentioned, how
ever, demonstrate that such legisla-
ton is necessary in Germany as
well as everywhere else if purity and
honesty of elections is to be attained
1t is to be hoped that our own elect
ion law may ultimately be improved
upon by the addition of this final
provision so that the independence
of our own election, around which
the new law has already established
so many safeguards, may be placed

The Road Supervisor has probably
heard so much about the roads dur
ing the past few days that he must
be nearly ready to go and smother
himself in one of the swamps scat
tered about town. However, We shall
have to keep at him till our ways are
materially improved. If he will keep
his eyes open the next time he visits
Oakland or some other place where
macadamized streets are depended
upon he will observe that the mate
rial is placed upon theroad, rounded
up a little-not too much-and rolled
without a particle of soil being used.
Then, when the rains come, the
streets are washed and become beau
tifully clean and hard. Richards
streets is pretty fair sample, and if
black sand had been kept off of that
we should have had one fine wet
weather street. Soil and black sand
make a fine country road, but in a
city they are a fraud, a delusion and
a snare. Perhaps the time has ar
rived to pave Fort street with Bel
gian block. If it has, shop-keepers
will need supply of cotton batting.
