succeed as brilliant diplomatic fiunky,
but he will be q success as practical,
sincere truth teller.
He is trifie cranky on educating the
Southern negro, and got about as much
headway in that very humane measure
as Senator Stanford did with his farmers
loan, but he takes it all in good part, be-
cause he is so good-natured and honest
about it. He has always been in synlpa-
thy with the working classes, and it is
fair to say that we will have no double
dealing on the subject of Chinese exclu-
sion while he occupies that position.
USES OF ALCOHOL.
By Bulletin No. % .of the Census
Bureau it is ascertained that the quanti-
ty of distilled spirits consumed in the
arts, manufactures and medicine in the
United States during the year ending De-
cember IL, 1889, was l0,976,S42 proof gall
Ions. The quantity of alcohol {proof gall
lons) was 0, 745, l52; cologne spirits, ,453,-
04S; high wines, 75,9 1922; whisky, 2.023. 800;
brandy, 266, ,S74; rum, lS95Sl; gin, 2.222, 2:22 295.
Total, 10,976.Si2. Returns making up
this aggregate were received from the
and manufacturers, 7,966.6i0; eleemosy-
nary institutions, l02, 100, and retail apoth-
ecaries, 2,S01 ,4l2. According to the report
of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
for the year ending June so, 1889, the to-
tai of l0,739,734 proof gallons of alcohol
were withdrawn from bond. Inasmuch
as only 6,745,l52 proof gallons are ac-
counted for as the result of the census in
qulry, it is considered that the remainder
-3,994, ,5S2 proof gallons-represents cer-
tain quantity used i'll the arts, but not re-
ported to the Census Office, and certain
amount used for drinking purposes.
The drinking of alcohol, in some eases
diluted with water, by certain elements OF
our foreign population, notably those from
northern European countries and Rus
slams, is much greater than could have
been supposed. Commissioner Porter
says: Inquiry of some of the large
houses in the Northwest, familiar with
this particular trade, elicits the iniorma-
ton that fully one-half Of the alcohol
sold III that section is drunk, it being the
favorite beverage of these foreign races.
1t is estimated by competent authority
that about fifteen barrels of alcohol are
daily consumed for this purpose in New
York City alone. A considerable amount
is consumed by the same element in the
coal regions of Pennsylvania, and I'M
doubtedly in other localities. 1t is likely
also that alcohol finds its way into many
of the lower-class bar-rooms of the coun-
try, where, compounded into low
grade of whisky, it is sold over the bar"

allures them or whose lash drives them,
put they are males; they wear bi-furcated

American women of intelligence, women
who are taxpayers, women in whose
veins flow American blood three ccntu-
rles strong, may stand beseeching an en-
trance to their inheritance, bat are met
with the response, "Ye may not enter

This question of '.right'' is as old as
creation, and even the phase of it,
"Woman's rights, 2 is nearly 1000 years
old. AS proof of this statement 1 refer
to Numbers xXXvii., II, where it will be
seen it was discussed and settled by the
highest tribunal
In the discussion of the question in our
own country and time, it has passed
through several stages-at first regarded
with indifference, secondly with con-
attempt to ridicule it out of existence,
and lastly lifted to the plane it now occu-
pies-that of thoughtful debate
wish it might be the glory of this
Legislature OF 1891 to carry this measure,
and so place this State in the van Of that
line of progress which is inevitable.
The question is here to stay, and one
might as well attempt to stop the cataract
OF Niagara with gauZe veil as TO stem
this tide.
When, in 100 3. c., the women of Rome
desired the repeal of the Orphan law, they
crowded the Forum, and, by their clam
ors and persistence, forced even Cato, the
hardest and most conservative of Rome's
leaders, to yield. SO, now, the women of
America Will never be Sllenced until
their rights as citizens are recognized.
1t is said that women as class do not
want to vote; that has no bearing what
ever on the question of right. There are
some men, to their shame be it spoken,
who have so little regard for their coun-
try's welfare as not to care to vote, but
their rights are not, on that account, re-
stricted.
If the family is the type on which gov
ernmentS are founded. surely the nation
needs the influence of women in its ma
ti0nal affairs. Her executive and tinan-
cial ability are pre-eminent. She is re-
garded as the conSerVer of morals and
virtue, and God knows that American
politics need the salt of morality and vir-
tue to preserve us unconditional decay
and annihilation.
III the question is not settled this year
1t will come up the next and the next,
and so on until American women are no
longer ruled by that relic of medieval
baroarism, Il salic law, but when added
TO the Constitution shall be Sixteenth
Amendment, THE right Of citizen to
vote shall not be denied or abridged on
accout OF SEX"
Then and not till then will the declara-
tons of the Constitution be true, and
Liberty he proclaimed throughout the
land to all the inhabitants thereof"

taken and the addition made to it. The
purpose is that the steam may be used

it is success it Will afford a saving in

VIEWING THE BREAKS.

Crowds of People Visit the Broken
Levees on the Yolo side.
Throngs of people took advantage oi
the delightful weather yesterday to enjoy
an outing in the suburbs or to visit the
breaks in the levee below the town OF
Washington. The street ears all did a
heavy business, and throughout the day
crowds of people stood on the street COR
ners waiting for opportunities to find
seats.
Manager Lewis, of the electric car line.
stated that he could have filled twice the
number of cars the company had, and
said they were having several new cars
built Tor the heavy summer traffic that is
looked for
Mothers and fathers with their families,
young men with their sweethearts, and
hundreds of boys and girls joined in the
procession across the olo bridge on the
way to the Snyder break. The levee was
lined with people by 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, enjoying the pleasant walk to
the end OF the broken levee. A little steam
launch made trips from the lower to the
upper crevasse in the levee, charging a
small fare TO sight-seers. Many availed
themselves of the opportunity to view the
break opposite Mouton's ranch. 1t was
found to have widened to about 600 feet.
or nearly as large as was the Paine break
of last winter. The water was running
through the gap rapidly, but with not
nearly the force nor volume it did day
or so after the break occurred.
In the Snyder break the water was al
most at a standstill. 1t was neither run
ming i'll nor out. The width of this break
is now about 300 feet

A Folsom Miner Picks Up Sixty-Dol.
lar Nugget.

lar Nugget.
Monday last, says the Folsom TeEe-
graph, was lucky day for Fritz Schmidt,
a miner, who went out prospecting on
that day. He concluded to look around
Robbers Ravine in the hope of finding
something, and had proceeded about four
hundred yards when he had the good for
tune to pick up large sized gold nugget.
Schmidt lost no time in coming to town
with his prize. He was surrounded by a
crowd OF the curious, eager to learn the
particulars of the find.
Accompanied by a number of people,
Schmidt went to the banking house of
James III. Burnham, where the piece was
weighed, and was found to be worth
500 20. That amount was offered Schmidt
by Mr.. Burnham, and was accepted by
him. The find was fortunate thing for
Schmidt, who is q hard working and in
dustrious man. On Sunday James Fl.
Burnham picked up a nugget that was
found to be worth S47. Other pieces were
also picked up by various parties, but
none OF them of any great value,
The news Of Schmidt's find caused con-
siderable excitement, and soon q large
number of men Were out in the hills
hunting for gold. Their success was not
great, and most of them quit the next
day. The numerous finds that have been
made of late would indicate that there is
still an abundance OF gold to be found in
the ground around Folsom, and some of
the miners here may yet strike it rich.

During the Flood.
p. E. Platt Says the Orange Output
VIII Be Very Large He Still
Likes This Section.

P. +. Platt returned yesterday from
Southern California, where he has spent
much time during the winter in the in
terests of w. r. Strong Company, of
which fruit-shipping firm he is General
Manager. Mr.. Platt reports increased
activity in the orange trade since the re-
opening of the railroads. His own firm
started full train-load East few days
ago, and will continue full-train ship
ments about every other day during the
remainder of the season. About 200
carloads of oranges remain ON the trees at
the present date, and to move this crop it
will be necessary to ship out of the State
about twenty five cars each day from this
time forward.
The shipments are divided between the
two transcontinental railroads. the Atch-
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe and the South
ern Pacific.
On the 2lst of February the severe
storms in the south destroyed all means
of transportation by extensive washouts
on every line of railroad in that section,
and for ten days, and in some cases
longer, no trains could be run. Business
of all kinds was killed and great damage
done. In some cases OrchardS were de-
stroyed, houses washed away, lives were
lost, and, in one case, fine and valuable
ranch of about one hundred and fifty
acres was obliterated by the flood.
The spirit of the Southern people, how
ever, was not depressed, and the mo-
ment the storms cleared off and travel
could be resumed the usual activity was
renewed. New orchards are being set
out and orange trees for planting are
eagerly sought for. Mr.. Platt is more
than ever convinced of the desirability of
Central and Northern California for citrus
culture, as the fruit, being so early, will
always find amarket before the glut of the
southern crop can depress prices; and as
to temperature, there are any number OF
localities south where oranges are sue
cessfully grown that show fully as much
frost as the citrus districts that are being
planted in the north.
For week Los Angeles City was as
completely isolated from the rest of the
world as if it had been on an island in
the sea. Telegraph lines, as well as rail-
roads and wagon roads, were cut off. This
state of affairs gave people good oppor-
tunity to judge just what the country
would be without railroads.
Great preparations are being made for
the Citrus Fair, which commences in few
days. No doubt it will be a grand affair
and will show the resources of the south
ern counties to great advantage. North
ern fruit-growers and others interested
can learn much by this object lesson. 1t
is hoped that a large number of the Sacra-
mento Board of Trade delegation that
was selected some time ago will attend.

But should the Catholics wish to elect
some man, or put through some measure
for their own interest, then would the
catholic women vote solid, just as the
priest would direct.
God forbid that woman suffrage should
ever become universal in this country.
Tor not only would the Catholics prob
ably succeed in what it is claimed thew
are trying 50 hard to do-destroy our
public school system-but the home
would be completely demoralized. There
is ample room in the world for woman
to crafty her ambition and exercise her
intelligence and industry, plenty of
ways for reforming humanity and max
ing the world better, without being

BRANDRETH's PILLS are the oldest,
safest and best blood purifier and purga-
tive known. They are purely vegetable,
therefore harmless. They are always the
same and always produce the same effect.
Other purgatives require increased doses
and finally cease acting altogether. A
course of one or two of BRANDRETH's S
PILLS taken each night is positive cure
for constipation, headache and all bilious
disorders. Ifyou can't take them plain,
