A NoN-PARTIsAN JUDICIARY.

Ii there is one department Of the Govern
ment that more than another should be kept
free from partisan wrangle, it is the Judi
ciary. All parties should be united in sup
port Of Judge who has shown himself
conspicuously fitted for the duties of the
Office. New York has given several ex-
amples of such recognition of fundamental
principle. John r. Brady. Democrat was
kept On the bench period of thirty years,
while Charles P. DAILY, also a Democrat,
was elected successively to the Court of
Common Pleas, until after a service of
forty-two years he was retired by the
limitation Of age In this younger
city we have not singled out many
Judges as so exceptional in point of service
as to raise them above party action. We
have two or three judges who are certain
to be elected on any ticket, but none to
whom political opponents award the honor
of clear field
The nomination Of Judge Wallace by the
Non Partisans, aud his probable nomina-
tion by the Democrats, affords the Republi-
cans an opportunity TO create a precedent
1t is known that since the Supreme Court
decision in a Grand Jury case, and Judge
Wallace's scathiDg review of that decision
him their legal target. The idea used TO
prevail that no aspirant for office could
succeed against Southern Pacific opposition,
and the Bourbons of that company are not
yet aware that that day is past. The South
ern Pacific had no considerable influence
with the NOn-Partisans, but an effort was
made to prevent the Endorsement of Wal
lace by the Democrats. There is no
doubt but that the body Of the Re-
publican party would like to see their
convention nominate one man for Judge
who owes nothing to the Kentucky COM
pany. 1t is not supposed, however, that
the helly-Crimmins convention will ven
ture upon even one nomination that the
Kentucky company does not sanction. The
Third street firm have brought the party so
low in respect to prospects that no one will
pay for nomination, and their only chance
now is to get as much money as possible out
Of the Southern Pacific people There are
three millionaires in training fer the United
States Senate, but none of them propose to
give the Third-street firm much money to
handle. Two of them have taken the high
moral ground that the Office sho aid not be

WHAT'S IN A NAME

The Election Commissioners seem 10 be
much afraid Of the name the Non-Pariisans
have selected as the designation of their
ticket. Well they may be. The best gov
ernment this city has ever had was under
the Non-Partlsan Peoples party. During a
period when other large cities were pIung-
ing into debt San Francisco resisted all
temptation Of that nature. For many years
this city had the best municipal government
in The United States. The Election Com
missitners, some of whom hope to be candi-
dates on other tickets, are placing very
narrow construction on the new election
law, hich was designed especially TO give
independent tickets a fair show with the
others,

A BENEFACTOR OF THE BOYS
w. E. Browns Commendable
Work for Them.
He Provides Library Where Lads May Get
Juvenile Literature Free of All
Charge.

The Boys Reading-room a: Ga Silver street
has afforded interest and instruction TO nun
dreds Of lads living in that neighborhood.
1t was quietly instituted about year ago
by W. E. Brown, well-knOwn capital
ist. He furnished the two large apart
meuts. one of which answers for library
and readIng-room while the other Is for
games, such as checkers, chess and domi-
noes.
This great work, which has provided a
place of amusement and education for the
boys, has been carried on at MI Browns
sole expense.
The apartments are handsomely carpeted
an d tastily furnished.
The library contains 600 volumes OF we'll
selected literature. such as sult the aims ana
tastes OF boys between and 10 years.
Here the lads of the neighb0rhood gather
IN their spare moments and either read or
amuse themselves with the various games.
IL is place of recreation for them and it
takes them from the temptations ana de-
grading influences of the street
Miss Helen q. AmeS is the librarian, She
is enthusiastic on the success OF the Work.
and states that il has worked wonders with
the wei!-being of the boys.
when they first began to visit tie place
they were unkempt and rough in their de-
mean0r; that lie, in the majority OF cases.
'NOw look at them" and the yOnng lady
pointed with a considerable show of pride
toward a score OF young lads. some reading
and some iudulgiDg in games.
They were tidlly dressed and bore the ap-
pearance OF being perfect little gentlemen.
Il had out about 800 books day for them
to read, and when / know who they are L
permit them to take them home.
Part of the expenses In fitting up and con-
ducting this cOmmeBdable work has been
betrayed from the sale OF work entitled
Jack and JILL" written by W. e. Brown.
On the sale of each book he seis aside 81
as library fund.
He has sold 1000 of the beautifully de-
signed aud elegantly written work.
4 new edition will be issued for the
Christmas holidays, and from this Mr..
Brown expects to realize handsome fuDd,
to be credited to the library.
Il love boys" said the promoter OF this
worthy work yesterday to II CALL represen-
tative, "and propose to devote my life to
aiding and elevating them. They are the
men OF to-morrow, ard believe that they
should be provided with healthful reading
and innocent paStimes. The street Is no
place for them | furnished the reading
room so we'll because believe that refined
influence is necessary"
MIR. Brown Will enlarge his comnendable
work by degrees, and the young lads Of this
city may claim him for one OF their greatest
benetactOTs.
The library is open from TO r. NJ.
daily, and those who are interested In truly
deserving works should go and see the
pleasure and recreation that is benetitlng
hundreds of lads in this city.

Burglars are working the town of Pasa-

burglars may have more enterprise than

A Santa Cruz newspaper suggests as a
solution Of the boy" problem that the
boys be killed-and almost any man can
imagine conditions under which plan Oh
that sort would meet his hearty approval.
a Utah scientist proposes to cheaper the
production OF silver by diss0lyiDg ores In
the waters Of Great Salt Lake, and then
precipitating the product by evaporation.
Sounds some like fish stOry-only there
are no fish in Great Salt Lake.
Murderer Bfuggy of Santa Rosa wants
his sentence commuted. Murderer Bruggy
has chosen bad time to move in the mat.

commute his victims sentence he would not
now be laboring under the inconvenience OF
sentence himself.
Hereafter when marines want to get ship
wrecked they will, il they be wise, cast
their vessels away near Santa Barbara.
The master of the British bark Goldenhom
did that, as everybody knows, and when he
arrived with his sailors at Santa Barbara
the Mayor of the town met him at the
wharf, escorted the party TO a good hotel
and generally made things as pleasant as
possible for the castaways. 1t is long
ways ahead of desert island, that sort OF
thing is.
Train-robber Evans has declared that he
will not be captured before he has killed
Detective VIII Smith. and if he has been
shooting at Detective VIII Smith all this
time the bandit must be remarkably poor
shot. However, if he really wants to catch
Smith. who has so far shown truly won
deriul talent for keeping out OF the way of
bullets, Mr. Evans might take the back
track-the track, that is. that is long ways
back. That seems to be Smiths fay0Tite
haunt.

extensively lesorted to. A gasholder is
placed on the chief ventilating shaft and Is
SO arranged that it becomes filled in twelve
hours, in this way it being possible to obtain
a fair average sample of the mine air. The

Burning shoes? What does she do that
for?"
"She does 1t for luck. she says, and have

How very funny"
s'YOu may well say so. | had a most alb
surd conversation with Susan yesterday on
the subject of boodoos. She told me that
on one occasion not long ago she was taken

bewitched by certain woman in the
neighborhood. This woman, he declared,
had succeeded in getting hold Of part of
Susan's spirits and had put it In bottle.
which was thrown into the fire. The only
thing to do under the circumstances was to
procure some OF the ashes from the fire,
which were TO be found In heap in the
woman's yard. So Susan did as she was
bid-got the ashes by stealth. gave them to
the wise man and paid him 10 remove the
spell from her and put it on the enemy. He
did so. and. as Susan told Inc, the person
who bewitched her hasn't had well day
since"
"Ridculousp'
poor Susan had to pay the wise man $40
for removing that hoodoo, and she never
feels any confidence that she will not at
any time be assailed by the mysterious iu-
fiuences which may be invoked against her
by ill-disposed persons. AS well as | can
find out, such wise men and wise women
make their living in Washington by going
out among the most ignorant of the coloIed
people and informing them that they are
victims Of magic and spells, which can be
counteracted and removed for money
consideration. During the talk had with
Susan yesterday she discoursed at great
length on the subject of luck, opposing
what she regarded as practical experience
to my incrednlous theories"
What did she speak of In particuiar?n
"WelI, her talk was chiefly of what she
called sharp luck She told me that the
best way to fetch it was to take two pins.
two nails and two needles and stick them in
the ground, the needles with their points
up aud the nails and pins with their points
down. Next, must name the two needles
after myself and the friend Of whom was
most fond, at the same time naming the pins
and nails after four OF my enemies. This
process was sure to bring good fortune to
my friend and myself and very ba d luck
indeed to the foes represented by the pins
