math. 1t is a ~disagrecablc one for all

ted more by their love of self glory than
byan honest desire to pay due respect to
the highest officer il the land bv pninr
through certain social forms in the pres
'll'e OF ITS occupant. According to the
Pioneer Press it appears: prior To the
arrival Of President Harrison the San
Francisco supervisors passed Il resolution
IN usual form rendering to him the free
dom Of the city. %Thcrcupon the mayor
ordered "A gold card. three by five and
one-half inches in size, bearing this lc-
gend: by resolution of the Board of
Supervisors the freedom of the city is
hereby rendered to Benjamin Harrison,
President of the United States and
signed George II. Sandcrson, Mav,.'
now comes a bill against the munici-
pality, amounting to $50. for that pold
card. The supervisors declare they will
pass it, for the reason that none of
names, but only that of the MAYOR
was upon it, wherefore he should pay for
1t on of his own pocket
Every n of those supervisors should

soundly spanked, for in refusing to al
