THE party that derives it's inspiration
and leadership from Dan Burns, the de-
faulter, and Chute, Crimmins and Kelly,
the recognized professional bosses, ex-
hausts it's stock in trade against the
Democratic party when it roars Buck
ley! Buckley" Honors are more than
easy between the two parties on the
boss question, for our Republican friends,
both in their state and national organi-
cations, have developed the most rascal
ly and INSCRIPTIONS set of bosses any
country was ever cursed with. The
Buckleys and Chutes are the evolvement
of great cities in politics. But when it
comes to state politics, the Democratic
party has its power in the country dis
tricts. This was shown at the San Jose
convention. Pond was nominated by
the country, and Buckley only swung in
his forces when he saw he would be left
if he did not. In Markham's case
however, Dan Burns had carte blanche
to use Markham's delegations as basis
of trade in the convention to force hil
nomination. Here the boss and the
head of the Republican ticket are
twinned like Geminis. But these
things are known of all men, and Oar
Burns, the robber of the state treasury
the friend and patron and manufacturer
of the Republican gubernatorial candi
date, is tbigger man than old Grant
in his party.

THE nomination of the Hon. Byron
Waters for the State Senate from the
district composed of San Bernardino
and San Diego counties, is very strong
one. If any Democrat can win in that
district Mr.. Waters can. He has a
state reputation as public man, and
he is greatly beloved by the people of
the two counties composing this sena-
torial district. He will make a bril-
liant and vigorous canvass.

OUR friends on the other side are in
the travail of protracted and painful
delivery. The Long Hairs and the Short
Hairs are measuring the size of their
fists to see which can grab the latest
county offices. Jim Meredith for county
clerk and Martin Aguirre for sheriff
hold the fort so far. There are no pro-
nounced candidates openly put forward
against them, but the opposition in
Long-Hair circles is strong enough to
have STAYED off the nomination of eau
Gus tickets in several of the wards last
night. As the ruction now stands it may
lead to serious drama when it gets into
the convention. The seal-fishery dis
pute will be nothing to it. Dick Chute,
the cute and cunning Republican boss,
has gone back to San Francisco after
having arranged Stanford's fences for
him here. He was too willy to be
caught in the maelstrom of the conten-
ton for county nominations. The list
of names he left for senator and as
semblymen can be depended upon for
the great railroader, and that is as far as
they could get the cute and cunning
Chute to 60 in our local affairs. He
selected the man to handle the sack
when it comes, and the eyes of hungry
horde of ward strikers will keep close
watch on him. Meantime the boys with
Cropped chevelure will do their "pret-
test" to down the sad-faced men with
flowing locks, and get into the county
convention where there is promise of
galore of nice pickings.

None but Whistlers.

There is nothing like occupation to
keep boy out of mischief. So thinks a
Brooklyn baker, of whose ingenuity the
Brooklyn Eagle relates pleasing anec-
dote. Mothers may, perhaps, get hint
from the story, though it is to be hoped
that they will not act upon it with too
much severity. Let them remember that
the laborer is worthy of his hire, and not
forget the scriptural injunction against
muzzling "the OK when he treadeth out
the corn"
Every Saturday morning crowd of
small boys gathers about the door of a
bakery in Columbia street, in response to
a placard which calls for boys to pick
are ushered one by one into the presence
of the chief cook, that august and apron
ed functionary inquiries:
do yot know how to whistler"
IF the boy is new at the business and
not strictly honest, he very likely says
mo" as he naturally assumes that the
cook must have some strong objection
against whistlsng. Such is far from be-
ing the case, however. On the contrary,
no boys are hired except those who an
swer this seemingly impairment question
in the affirmative.
When all the applicants have been thus
picked over" the successful candidates
are seated in rows and the cook brings
in large bags filled with raisins and cur
rants. Every boy is given portion and
is at once told to whistle. The music
must be kept up as long as the work lasts,
and it is evident that the baker knows
what he is about.
But of course he is now and then call.
ed out of the room. At such times, it il
said, there is apt to be a lull in the
music, and when he comes in again the
efforts of the boys to resume thei1
whistling are said to be really pathetic
If any reader doubts this, or fails to sci
the point of the story, let him try tt

A Clever Ret0rt.

Charles H., playing tennis with a
dignifed prebend who had struck the
ball well, exclaimed, "Not bad stroke
for DEAN" "I'll give it the stroke of

repartee equally good, though not di-
rectly self-interested: When Henry
III. proposed to send Bishop Bonner
to France in a diplomatic capacity, the
King told him that he must speak to-
tie French monarch in very lofty
tone, instrueting him what he had to-
say. Please, your Majesty" said the
Bishop, IF should hold such naughty
language, King Francis, in all proba-
bility, would order my head to be
chopped off," @If he dared do such q
thing, cried Henry, II would chop off

HAY FEVER.
BY G.. A. CUTLER, M. d.

Hay fever is not, as many suppose,
an incurable disease. True, it does not
yield as readily to treatment as asth-
ma, and is one of the most stubborn of
the diseases that affiict the human
family, but it can be conquered by per-
sistent treatment.
The disease is of germinal origin,
and whether these heterogeneous.
which are the exciting cause, are pro-
duced from rag-weed, new mown hay,
heat and vegetable decomposition,
want of ozone in the air, or from the
dozens of other assumed causes, we will
not undertake to say-indeed, it is a
problem that no one, as yet, has salts
factorily answered. The same exciting
cause does not seem to produce the dis
ease in different cases. Patients who
could not pass a load of hay without
causing an aggravated attack, could
expose themselves to any of the other
exciting causes with perfect impunity,
while others when on the waters, from
twenty to fifty miles from shore, had
severe attacks without the slightest
apparent cause.
The treatment must be constitution
al, and it must be thorough. 1t is, in
every sense, blood disease. The Local
application of cocaine is but palliative
and is dangerous. A cocaine habit is
more to be feared, if possible, than ar
| opium habit. The destruction of the
mucus membrane of the nasal cavity
by electrolysis has failed to cure the
disease, and the injection of weak solu
lions of carbolic acid and other power
full antiseptics has given but little re
lief. The micro organisms that infes
the mucus membrane may be destroyed
/ by this treatment, but the blood, which
carries an ample supply, will soon re
store the loss.
The inhalation of oxygen, especial,
in heated form, is the best remed,
1 vet discovered, but even this, in obsti
nate cases, will fail unless backed b.
other antiseptic treatment. The OF
ganisms are most tenacious of life, an
the blood should be reached by the al
of the stomach as well as by the lungs
The patient himself can aid MATERIAL
in accomplishing cure. / notice on
writer says there is but little the pa
tient can do to help himself. This is
mistake; he can do much. The mos
important thing for him to do is to us
the utmost care in diet. I have FRI
quently heard patients say, doctor,
am discouraged. I thought was FIRE
from my old enemy; have not had q
attack for two or three weeks, but las
night he came back on me again.

Before the Flag.

In a certain New York mission Is a
bright street fellow, who, if this incident
be taken as an indie ton, bids fair to de-
velop the brains and patriotic sentiment
of a good American citizen.
A gentleman announced his intention
of delivering an address on political re-
form in the neighborhood of the mission,
a particularly disorderly district. He
and his friends were informed upon good
authority that if the speech were made
the speaker would be pelted with rotten
eggs.

an important influence, must be given up.
