After the Grip

Conyalescence is very slow and to recover
the health-tone a good tonic is absolutely
necessary. Hoods Sarsaparilla has been
used with wonderful success as building
up medicine and block purifier after attacks
OF the Grip, after Typhoid Fever, Scarlet
Fever, ,Diphtheria, Pneumonia or other pros
trating diseases. 1t possesses just the build
ing-up effect so much needed; it vitalizes
and enriches the thin and impoverished
blood, and IL invigorates the kidneys and
stimulates the liver so that they resume re-
gular and healthy action. Thousands of
people have taken Hoods Sarsaparilla as a
preventive of the Grip with success. Thous-
ands have found in il restoration to health
and strength after this dreaded complaint.
For instance, Mr.. Jacob Knapp of Upton,
Iowa, well known business man, says he
had the Grip twice, leaving him very weak
and with a bad cough. Hoods Sarsaparilla
gave him splendid appetite, made him
feel strong and as well as ever.

"BAD POLITICS"

Within two or three days the impression

bad politics." by the way, does not mean
the advocacy Of bad course, but tie adyO-
cacy Of a course that has opposed TO it
power that cannot be easily overcome. The
Democrats say that it would be bad poll
ties" to oppose the Southern Pacific; not
so much because the Southern Pacific is
stronger than the people, but because il IS
united and alert while the people are
divided and ind fferent. The Southern Pa
cifc viii be on the ground in force. The
men who have attended to its politics for
years are steering the Fresno convention
now. one popularity Of these men is that
at a Republican convention they talk and
act as if they were Republicans, and at
Democratic convention as if they we're
Democrats. They keep close TO the COM
mlttees on resolutions. They tell these
committees what latitude the Southern Pa
cifc will allow them in the use Of express
sions intended to catch flies" aud what
declarations Of purpose will be considered
hostile. The political agents Of the South
err Pacific had an easy time in Stockton,
but are likely to have work 10 do at Fresno.
Bad politics" has now become q matter Of
Judgment One leader is certain that it
would be "bad politics" to antag0Gize the
Southern Pacific, while another is equally
confident that the people are ready for such
a declaration. There is now and then a
delegate with keen sense Of justice who
holds that it is always good politics TO adVO-
cate the right But delegates Of this stamp
are given to understand that they have out
lived their usefulness. What the conYen-
ton wants is a platform that will win.

WILL NOT TEAR UP TRACKS.

TIE Examiner quotes Mr. Ostrom, the
Cleveland candidate for chairman of the
Fresno convention, as saying:
I'VE are not going to tear up tracks nor
to burn bridges, though we will pass reso-
luton expressing our sympathy with the
notion of a competing railroad. We viii
vote an Endorsement OF the Nicaragua
canal We will not vote our approval or
Endorsement of the Traffic Association Of
San Francisco as we are not sure that its
objects are not opposed TO the interests Of
the State"
The Southern Pacific Company will find
no fault with this programme. a Compel
ing road without some such power as the
Traffic Association behind il will not greatly
disturb the Southern Pacific. The compile
ton Of the Nicaragua canal is at least seven
years off. Tie Southern Pacific is not CIV
ing Itself much trouble about an enterprise
so remote in time Of operation as that. Atthe
present time the San Francisco Traffic As
ISOLATION is planning competition to take
effect Immediately. Mr.. 0stTom does not
propose to ind0Tse this association. The
principal movement to afford the people
relief from the exacu0ns Of the Southern
Pacific viii be treated as if it did act exist.
Our Republican readers have not forgotten
that the Stockton convention failed to in
dorse the San Francisco Traffic Association.
Democrats were highly elated when the
Republican convention adjourned without
having recognized the existence of trans
portation question. wait TIL we meet at
Fresno" they said, "and you will hear
something worth hearing" We have heard
from the leader Of perhaps the largest and
most respectable wing Of the Democratic
party, and have heard nothing but an echo
Of the silence Of the Republican convention
on the vital issue of the day.
From a party point Of view it will be well
for the Republicans that the 0strom wing
Of the Democratic party control the Demo-
cratic convention. The two parties VIII
then stand on about the same ground in
references TO the transportation question.
The Traffic Association will be relieved of
the imputation of having thrown the as
ISOLATION into the Democratic camp. There
remains, however, the great mass of the
voters to be considered. Win they be con-
tent with two State platforms that ignore
tie vital question of transportation?

SQUEEZING FRESNO.

Tariff Manager Leeds gives the following
freight rates in California as compared with
those OF Kansas, taking the town of Wichita
10 Kansas and Fresno in California. He
says:
The comparisons are ON 10. 20, 90, 20 and
100 miles, which comparison will probably cover
most Of the business which would likely be dis
rlbHted Il ON the local iobblDg eenters so situated
as thess two places are. The comparison shows
that for 10 miles the California rate Is 10 per
cent less than the Kansas rate for % miles il Is
8 per cent more; for so miles, 81 per cent more;
rs miles, 81 per cent more; for 100 miles, 80
per cent more, or nearly double the rate; In the
aggregate the California rate being SO per cent
more than that OF Kansas. ! would state for
y01r Information that the tariff In Kansas is one
promulgated by the commission Of that State
and is not the result Of any undue competition
between carriers.
In this instance 1t would seem that
freights are very reasonable for Fresno
taken for only fifteen miles, distance
which is of no particular use to Fresno, but
when it is seventy-ive or one hundred miles
and over Fresno is charged exorbitant
rates. 1t is doubtless true that the interior

A COMPARISON.

The following paragraph is copied from
the editorial columns Of morning eontem-
poraTy:
Rudyard Klpling's comment on New York con-
tains many truths, but that justice is bought an
sold ia that city is a pretty sweeping assertion.
The English courts are not above suspicion OF
trucking to rank and wealth, aud In many eases
ministerial lenieney after conviction nulllhes the
action OF the judge
The opinion is general in the United
States that justice is often bought and sold
IN New York City. A system of politics
exists there by which secret organization
controls nearly all Of the important offices.
Its judges. its jurors aud its members Of the
Legislature are selected by Tammany man
ayers. And that organization is now trying
to force Hill upon the Democratic party as
a candidate for the Presidency Of the United
States. There is not much difference be-
tween San Francisco and New York, only
that New York is controlled by Tammany
and It's strikers, while San Francisco is con-
trolled by railroad and its bosses.

TWO METHODS.

When the custom-house authorities dis
cover that frauds upon the revenue are be-
coming unusually heavy, a special agent
takes one Of the importers aside and saws :;
''NOw let US talk this matter over. You
have been taking a rather large share. We
know pretty nearly how much you owe the
Government and are open 10 propositions
on that basis. How much will you refund
without making a fuss about it? We are
not employed to send men to the peniten-
tiary, but to collect the revenue" The
importer probably fences awhile until he
finds cut how much the SPECIAL agent knows.
Then he makes an offer. The rule is to
hand over about two-thirds Of the stealings.
The special agent turns every dollar OF this
into the custom house treasury. BE is an
honest fellow in his way and takes no
chances where knowledge is shared between
two parties.
But when an enterprising highway rob-
Der relieves one Of Wells, Fargo 81 Co. s

different method is pursued. Recovery of
the money is a consideration, but greater
one is the arrest and punishment Of the
robber. The private firm reasons in this

action in relation to railroad matters in this

STILL ON THE STAND.
Another Day of the Ellis Case Against
The PresbYterv.

Another Day of the Ellis Case Against
the Presbytery.
Rev. ]. w. Ellis was on the witness stand
during the entire session yesterday in the
trial of his damage suit against the San
Francisco Presbytery for an alleged mali
cious prosecution before the church court.
Little that was new was brought out The
courtroom was full again with auditors, and
for the first time women we're in attendance.
Rev. Mr Ellis was asked why his statement
of November IL. 1890, rendered to the trustees
of the Tabernacle, was not a complete one
and answered..
81 had contracts with the people doing
the principal repairs or else had bills and
other memoranda which would have en-
abled me to make an accurate account
These l had on the evening of October g.
1890. had them in my study in tin box
and had intended to take them home with
me. The box was locked and placed behind
sofa. That night we held the weekly
meeting of the church and [ forgot all
about the tin box until the next morning
When | entered my study that morning
saw on my study table a note in bold hand
writing. The note was as follows:
entered your study last night and took vaIu.
able papers from your tin box. You NAV have
them If you will pay me $780, otherwise l will
destroy the papers.
The witness then stated that the burglar
had been caught, but all the papers had not
been recovered. The witness said the trus-
tees of the Tabernacle we'll understood that
the statement of November IL, 1890, was not
an accurate accounting
During the afternoon session DIR. Ellis
gave detailed history of his trial by the
| presbytery. The object of the testimony
was to set before the jury the fact that he
| had not been allowed to demur to the indict-
ment against him, but had been forced to
! plead guilty or not guilty to the charges as
! whole. The.witness WAS particularly bitter
/ toward Rev. A. j. Kerr, who acted as
! prosecutor before the presbytery, claiming
| that, while he was the prosecutor, he was
constantly assisted in that task by about a
| third of the members of the pTesbytery,
| who were also the judges. The witness
also said that alter the verdict DR.. Chap
