DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES
To Secure Honest City and County
Government.

Municipal government is business. not poll
tics.
Municipal elections s. ould be divorced from
State and National politics
Municipal officers should be chosen solely
for business ability and personal integrity.
Municipal officers should be independent Of
political bosses, parties and factions.
The care of city and county property, the
granting and management of franchises, the
revenues, can be safely intrusted only to Off
GERS chosen under the operation of these prin-
ciples.
Sacramento is suffering from a most odious,
damaging, and dangerous system of boss rule,
under which both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties are owned and controlled BY one
set of bosses, and whereby the interests of both
parties and of property owners are absolutely
ignored and sacrificed, to the one sole purpose
of plumber and power Under this ruinous and
degrading system our city and county expenses
are enormously increased, and our taxpayers
are robbed to pay the augmented and unjust de-
mands; our Courts and juries are corrupted, JUS
ice is defeated crime goes unbridled and IN
punished; our police-supposed guardians OF
the people-are selected and controlled by the
same corrupt powers to shield criminals, while
the power of the municipal authorities to sup
press crime and sustain the law is openly de-
fed.
Therefore, with view to overthrow these
evils and place the government of the city and
county under the direct control of TIE PEOPLE,
to be conducted upon economic and business
principles, we, the under signed, while reserv-
affairs. hereby unite in permanent municipal
citizens organization, and agree to do all IN our
power to insugurate and carry out the purposes
stated

WHY GRANT WAS GREAT.
Due Recognition When True Merit
Once Established,


Was Grant great General? Conceded.
What made him so?
When U. S. Grant was hauling cord
wood iato st. Louis his neighbors did not
imagine he would become the most famous
man of his generation. When he was
managing the little tannery in Galena no
one of his intimates recognized in him a
future hero. But be displayed qualities
which should have satisfied them he was
no common man. What was there about
him?
II you start TO build single story shanty
YOU pay little attention to the foundation /;
YOU may lay stringers in the sand, with
little fear the building will fall. But il
you propose erecting a ten-story block,
your architect will tell you you must go to
the rock for the basis Of your foundation,
or the stately structure is liable to tumble
about your ears.
The foundation of great man is moral
force character; this is the rock founda-
ton. The sbiftless man lacks it; he never
succeeds. Grant never used an oath-a
sure indication of moral character. He
never told, or listened to, if he could help
it, a vulgar story; this showed peculiar
moral fiber, an unusual strength of char.
acter.- He was man of opinions-as his
wife said, was obstinate; in other words,
he had will power, force.
These qualities, with good judgment, well
balanced mental powers, and peculiar ex-
ecutiye ability, supplemented by military
education, fitted him for the emergency,
when it came. As soon as his merits be-
came known, success was assured This is
always the case, with things as with men.
Il well know the value of Warmers Safe
Cure" writes NJ. Carr. of the Hotel Ben

THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY.
a Festive sptinkling Cart Driver Gets
Into Trouble.

E. Cooksley resides at Tenth and streets A
man named Silva has the contract for sprink-
ling that portion of the city. Silva uses two
carts and employs young man named Smith
TO drive one Of them.
Young Smith is of a frolicsome disposition,
and just to break up the monotony of the long
working days, would sprinkle only one side of
thestreet, would stop his cart and literally food
some particular portion Of a street, would skip
others entirely, and perform various other little
capers calculated to amuse himself.
Mr.. Cooksley was one of the young mans reg
ular victims.
Mr.. Cooksley once demonstrated with him
and was sorry afterwards that he did, for from
that time on Smith took great pains to stop in
front of Cooksey's house and deposit about
three-quarters of The contents OF his wagon
there The result was that on several occasions
the Cooksley residence was in imminent danger
of being foated of.
Mr.. Cooksley finally became exasperated and,
going before the Board of Trustees yesterday.
related what had been going on. His story was
subSiantiated by others. Mr.. Cooksley said
that there had been death on his block which
many believed attributable to extreme and con-
slant dampness of the locality.
Mayor Comstock suggested that the contractor,
silva be sent for, and when that individual
arrived each one of the Trustees read chapter
of the Riot Act, so to speak, to him.
Silva was badly frightened, and declared that
he had known nothing of his employers do
ings. He said he wodld discharge him immedi-
ately, but Mr.. Mclaughlin suggested that fine
would be better, inasmuch as 1t was the young
man first offense. IL was finally agreed to i'm
pose fine OF IS, which Silva paid.

CHEAP roeGERY.
A Man Who Would Dress Well, If BE
Didn't Mako Gent.

Didn't Make Cent.
William Salisbury was arrested yesterday by
officer Wilson and charged with petit larceny.
Last Saturday evening Salisbury, who is man
probably so years of age, attended dance at
Turner Hall, given by the Knights and Ladies
of Honor. He left his hat in the hatroom and
took check for it. Just before the festivities
ceased he walked to the room and presented
his check. The young man in charge was about
to give him his hat, but Salisbury said that some
mistake must have been made-that the nat
did not belong to him.
At the same time he pointed to an overcoat
and high hat that were stored in the box next
adjoining where his hat was. He stated that
they belonged to him, and the young man, be-
lieving that mistake might have been made
IN giving out the checks, gracefully handed
Salisbury the hat and coat.
Salisbury then LETT, and q few minutes after
ward Thomas Berkey called at the hat-room
and presented his check, but the box which 1t
represented was empty, and Mr.. Berkey found
himself minus an SIS silk hat and Sc over
coat.
The police were notified next day, and officer
Wilson was detailed to lcok into the matter.
After obtaining a description of the man who
took the property, he started out and in few
hours located Salisbury and brought him to the
police station. He denied all knowledge of the
affair ard protested against being placed in
prison. After being confined in cell Tor sew
eral hours, he at last weakened and confessed
coat. After another lapse of about two hours
time, Salisbury admitted that he took the coat

Raisins in the Rain.

This week we were shown some Iaisins
by E. Brown of the Ell Dorado vineyard.
The raisins had been out in the recent rain,
but did not appear to be badly injured in
consequence. The skin was not as bright
looking as is usual with raisins that are
cured without accident. In every other
particular, taste and flavor especially, they
did not differ from raisins that had been
cured under the most favorable circum-
stances. There was considerable damage
done to raisins that were laid on psDer to
be cured, Mr.. Brown informs us.-Folsom

the Trustees passed an order once in regard to
the matter, the gardeners say that it is i'm
