crawling out of an ink-spill upon a
white sheet OF paper ever described
such crazy lines as the boundaries of
this district show when traced out on
the map. All this wretched work is
done, as is manifest to any one who
will glance at the map and who is
familiar with the politics OF the
county, SO as to overwhelm every possi-
BILE Democratic locality with an ava
lanche of Republican precincts. We
did not look for fairness in the district
ing of this state by the present legisla-
ture. 1t cost the United States senator
ial sack too much TO place that body
there not to reap every advantage there
was in sight. If the rest of the state
has been as carefully carved up in the
Republican interest as Los Angeles
county, the California senate will belong
irretrievably to that party for years,
unless, indeed, the great political revo-
luton now sweeping the country should
bring us back to an era OF political hon
esty and fair dealing.

The wholesale whisky dealers OF San
Francisco have been subjected to rude
overhauling by the internal revenue
department. They have been caught
in practices that have brought them in
violent contact with the spirit and let
ter of the law. Seizures have been made
OF several hundred barrels OF whisky,
the egovernmentstamps on some of which
had been tampered with and others had
been filled and refilled without the re-
moval OF the old stamp. The derelicts,
it seems, prefer to pay up their fines
rather than have any public exposure Of
their methods. And we'll they might,
for it has leaked out that the practice
has been to doctor several barrels of So
phisticated whisky out of one barrel Of
the genuine article taken out of the gov
ernment warehouses. As San Francisco
wholesalers furnish very large proper
ton of all the whisky drank on the
coast, one can readily see that the tipple
which often reaches the provincial con-
sumner as the genuine old stock from the
blue grass distilleries is nothing but a
vile decoction manufactured in the eel
lars OF the Front street merchants. 1t is
said that the fines which these derelicts
have hastened to voluntarily pay amount
in the aggregate to many thousands OF
dollars.

lie Loved His Soldiers.

There are many pleasant reminis-
cences about the late Gen. Devens. One is
q reminder of his sensitiveness and kind
heartedness. After the battle of An
tietam, in which he had displayed great
bravery and ability, he rode up before
the Fifteenth regiment, which had suf-
fered great loss in this battle, and asked
what the result had been. When told
what loss it had suffered he broke down
and openly shed tears as he sat in his
saddle before his regiment. The furious
battle was not yet over, the roar Of can
non and the rattle of musketry was still
sounding, but the brave general cried
before his men as he thought of his
friends who had lost their lives.
His fatherly care and watchfulness
over his men was we'll known. He took
care to have as little loss of life as pos
sible, and looked after their health very
carefully. 1t is also well known that he
was very liberal to the soldiers with his
money. He constantly drew on his pri-
vate bank account to alleviate the wants
of soldiers in his company, and he also.
used to urge them to send their money
home, and would take it from them and
give them checks ON the bank in return,
which they could send home to their
families. After the war he was equally
benevolent to war veterans in distress,
and many men have him to thank for
aid in their troubles Worcester Ga

heat, and is gratified until it is satiated
in the poem and in the novel; but in ali
the delirium Of the passion lust is kent
in the background, and love is the pure
priestess who presldes at all the mvs-
teries of the relations of human na :
ture. The libininous element is there

held in allegiance by love, passion so

spring. and in religion too, tor the feel
ing of the deity for mankind. Lascivi-
business and love are kept in the rela-
tions OF the mud at the bottom of the
foul and stagnant pool to the pure and
perfumed water lily that floats on its sur
face, its roots in the slime and draw;no
part OF their life from the filth, but it's
flower in the pure, sweet air of day, and
no trace of the slime to stain its spotless
beauty, or to detract from it's delicious
aroma. Love is kept SO conspiciously in
the foreground, that it is like the hello
thrope, the lily or the rose that flourish
out Of the dull, foul earth, and are
nourished by the excrement of the
world, but retain no trace OF
their low and filthy origin, be-
cause of the fine alchemy of ma
ture through which they draw their life
from the ground. The fruit OF love in this
school of literary art is as free from
grossness, as is the peach that drops
from the tree, in spite OF the smell of
the barnyard about its root.
But how is it with Saltus. Ross and
Mrs. Atherton? The water lily is not
there. 1t is the foul slime dug from the
bottom of the stagnant pond. There is
no perfume of the rose, no sweetness OF
the heliotrope. no immaculate white
ness of the lily. 1t is all OF the earth,
and very earth. Ii one may be par
doned for resorting to Saltus's or Mrs.
Atherton's own artistic methods, it is
not the fruit of the tree, nor the flower
of the plant they treat us to-. 1t is the
muck from about the roots, the offal
from the outhouses Of the mind, they dish
up for an intellectual repast, or pin to
the lapel of thoughts garments as an
artistic nosegay. 1t is muck in all its
revolving nastiness they serve. 1t is
lust, coarse, vulgar, brutal lust, they
make an apotheosis OF in all they do.
The divine efflorescence of love they
know not. They never feel its ETHEREAL,
humanizing influence. 1t is filth of the
tilthiest they deal with in every phrase
they pen, and in. every incident they
imagine.

Beating the Cabby.

Even if Representative Jason B. Brown
does come from a rural district in Indi-
ana, he has no hayseed in his hair. A
few days ago he hired cab in front of
the Riggs house and drove around where
he expected to meet a friend. But his
friend was not there, and so he drove
back to the hotel around the corner The
trip occupied just six minutes. "How
much?" he asked the cabman. Seventy
five cents" "Oh, no." said Mr.. Brown,
'you can only charge seventy five cents
an hour" ''lt's just the same for por-
ton of an hour" said cabby. eff that
is the case," said Mr.. Brown, "you can
wait here for the balance of the hour.
will be in the hotel when your hour is
up" Then he disappeared through the
doorway. In less than fifteen minutes
the cabby capitulated. .'Give me twenty
five cents and I will go away" he said
He got his money and departed. Wash

The decision of the supreme court,
declaring the contract depositing the
municipal funds with the City bank in
valid, will probably relieve that institu-
tion from the payment of the interest
which had accrued upon the deposited
moneys. The treasurer has withdrawn
the funds from the City bank and dis
tributed it amongst all the banks. This
decision raises the question whether the
treasurer has the right to deposit the
money anywhere but in the city vault.
But there is no provision made for it's
safety in the city hall, and if there were
it would cause great financial stress to
have the money locked up in such large
amounts as are drawn from circulation
when the taxes are paid.

THERE is some chance that the street
improvement bond bill will pass. This
measure would afford great relief to the
property-holders where expensive street
improvements are required. 1t would
give them ten years to pay back in yearly
installments the money raised by the
city on street bonds. There are many
people who would be willing to improve
the streets in front of their property
under this plan, but who would be
swamped if they had to pay for it at
once in lump sum. A law of this kind
in successful operation would soon make
Los Angeles model city. All her streets
would be sidewalked and paved with the
most approved material, and the lot
owners would hardly feel that the cost
had been burthen. General Mathews
has made the passage of this law one of
bis specialties, and we hope he will be
successful in carrying it through

Not Taking Small TIPS.

A gentleman who is not averse to
tipping waiter when he happens to
have the requisite small change had q
curious experience in well patronized
restaurant in Sixth avenue few nights
ago. He took his wife into the restau-
rant after the theatre and enjoyed re-
freshments, the cost of which footed up
$1.95 He had not penny of change,
and he handed his waiter a two dollar
bill with which to pay his check. With
out waiting for the five cents change he
started to leave the place. His wife and
himself had got as far as the door when
the waiter overlook them and rendered
the gentleman nickel. ''Ohl keep
that" said the man indifferently NO
thank you, sir" said the waiter very
politely, II beg your pardon, but can
not accept it."
why not?" said the gentleman some
what impatiently.
Because, sir, l am not allowed to
take tip of less than ten cents. The
walters here have pool, and one of the
rules is that no member of the pool shall
take less than dime by way of a tip"
The gentleman, somewhat embarrassed
explained that the nickel was the only
bit of change that he had, whereupon
the waiter blandly remarked, "Oh, that
is all right, sir; you can hand it to me
the next time you come in. New York

We GREATLY regret to admit that the
career of our immediate representative
in the upper house of the legislature is
another striking illustration of the up
ward fight of the skyrocket and the
downward strike OF the stick. He
seems never to have recovered from the
drubbing he got from Campbell of So
1ano when he made his bullying speech
on the question of county division, and
intimated that coin was the only rea-
soning that gave the measure a status
in the legislature. 1t would seem that
this same Campbell of Solano lies in
wait for the redoubtable Carpenter, and
pounces upon him like a jaguar when
ever he opens his mouth. Our senator
yentured to defend the telegraph COM
pany against the measure to make it
pecuniarily responsible for kilograms
that failed in reaching their destination.
He made one of his unfortunate insinu-
ations that drew out a torrent of in
vective from Campbell and an humble
confession from Carpenter that he was
now and had been at times the attorney
OF the Western Union. Our senator is
not at all his old self. When he first
went to Sacramento he assumed an
aggressive and dictatorial mien; but he
has been so severely handled that he
has become as meek as dove. ''Tis
true, tits pity; and pity tits It's true.'

The latest fad of wealthy and fastidi-

Sachets filed with some delicate per-

flower corresponding to the one with
which the sachets are filed is embroid-

''puffs" or eiderdown quilts are filed
