At meeting Of the Howard-street Exten-

appointment of another.

Superior excellence was aimed at in all
things, and the duty of the Committee of
Awards carried with it labor of more than
ordinary responsibility. Their verdict, given
to the world. was in effect: This article
is superior to all others Of similar kind"
and there could be no qualification to the in-
dorsement. Hence, the following, which
are but few of the decisions rendered, may
be regarded as being absolutely the best of
the classes of each article mentioned.

A Brew for Thirsty Souls.

Good beer is undoubtedly a luxury and Is
rapidly advancing in the estimation of
thirsty souls. 1t should be source of
satisfaction for Californians to know that
the Fredericksburg Brewing Company was
awarded a gold medal for the superiority
of its beer at the Mechanics Fair just
closed This, of course, is nothing new
with the company, for ever since its organ
ization it has been awarded prize wherever
exhibited. Six gold medals speak volumes
for the quality Of tho goods manufactured
by this well-known and reliable company.
Its draught and export lager has gained a
wol Id wide reputation, strictly on its merits,
and, as various brands are added to the
company's choice list of speeialties. con-
noisseurs are obliged TO admit that the home
product can hold its own among the best.

California is rapidly pushing to the front
as a competitor with any State in the Union
in the manufacture of draught and export
beer. Year by year the quality of the home
product has been improving, until at present
it is within an ace of perfection itself:
Foremost among the progressively inclined
manufacturers is the Wieland Brewing
Company, whose draught and export lager
was awarded a gold medal at the recent ex-
position of the Mechanics Institute. This
is the ninth medal awarded the Wieland
Brewing Company for the general excel
lence of its goods, and it is safe to say a
public is not slow in recognizing true merit,
and the prosperous run that the Wieland
Company is now enjoying fully demon
strates this fact. 1t is well known that
nothing but the best of material is used in
this mammoth establishment, an additional
silver medal being granted for the best eX-
hiDit of hons,

The Committee of Awards, after testing
and examining the merits of all the type
writer's on exhibition at the Mechanics
Fair, awarded the prize to the Smith Pre-
mier on account of its perfect mechanical
construction and the perfection OF its work
ings. The special features are: Simplicity,
increased durability, high speed, manifold
ing facilities, self-cleaning type-bruSh noise
lpssness aud easy action. All the leading
writing machines participated in the COM
petition for this prize and the Smith Pre-
nier to have captured it proves its superior
ity. 1t aecomplishes work that cannot be
done on any other machine, and it is now
recognized as the best for all classes of

among operatives, and the frequent
failures among manufacturers, cause

would be partially overcome if the
passage of the Mckinley bill should be

The Sioux City Journal sizes up the
situation just right when it warns the
farmers of the northwest of the role
the democratic bosses are playing for
the purpose of steering the votes of
republican farmers into channels
which will lead to democratic major
ity in the lower house of congress; and
that by so doing they will transfer
their interests from the hands of west
ern and northern republicans to those
of the dominating wing of the demo-
c.atic party which for the last half
century has resided in tile solid south.
For an example of the tender care
which their interests will receive at
the hands of the southern democrats
the farmers have only to look up the
condition of farmers in Alabama
