DOWNING TAMMANY.

New York went Republican the other
day, and now with great shouting, and
raging, and holding of meetings, the
same old thing is to be tried anew,
namely, the overthrow of Tammany. If
memory does not cheat US Tammany is
mapped out for destruction whenever the
Empire State leaves the Democracy in
the lurch. But somehow Tammany
weathers these storms and the spasmodic
attempts to floor the sachems and scalp
the sagamores come to nothing.
When the people of New York do over
throw Tammany it viii be the outcome
of cool, deliberate and systematic reform
OF municipal and State Government by
which the political chiefs, warriors and
braves of the old Tammany society will
be deprived of opportunity to deal in
patronage.
The Stockton Mail thinks that Tam
many would be rendered powerless by
the adoption of the system of preferential
voting, which means proportional repre-
sentation, so that every vote cast is made
effective in electing some candidate.
That is well; it is a scheme for minority
representation that is armed with
strength, though open to objections also.
The adoption in New York of a genu-
Inc reform ballot law TO the displacement
of the farcical ballot and paster law now
in force. will go long way towards
making the feathers droop in Tammsny
head-dresses.
However, as a political brotherhood
standing on Democratic foundations, the
Tammany society will continue to live,
and there is no reason why it should not.
All that needs to be done about it by the
outsiders is to deprive it of the immense
power it has through bossism. But these
anti-election explosions of wrath against
Tammany never have amounted to
much and never will. When political
corruptionists are foored for good, it will
be the result of well considered reform
growing out of a return to primary polit-
ical duty by the great mass of the people,
who leave such duty now to be done by
the boss and his hirelings-until election

DENTISTS IN COUNCIL
Those of sacramento Favor a Midwin

Those of sacramento Favor a Midwin-
ter Fair Convention.
A short time ago the State Dental Asso-
citation sent out the following call to
prominent dentists in the State:
"The Midwinter Exposition, which is
to be held in San Francisco, will have in
it's exhibit all that pertains to this coast,
besides much of material and feature of
the Worlds Columbian Fair. This will
attract visitors not only from this coast,
but from all points of the United States,
thereby giving to this project national
significance. The California State Dental
Association has decided that it is an op-
perfume time TO hold meeting in the in
terest of the dental profession which shall
not only be credit to the coast but bring
together the strength OF the profession.
In order to carry out this plan we invoke
the aid and cooperation Of all local socie-
ties and individual dentists on this coast
in contributing to the success of the un-
dertaking."
Pursuant to this call a large body of
dentists met at the Golden Eagle Hotel
Friday evening" and perfected a tempo
rary organization. DR.. f. +. Tebbetts
was chosen President, DR.. +. II, Metcalf
Secretary and Treasurer.
A committee, consisting of Drs. Reith,
Shaw, Reid, Root and Giardey, was ap-
pointed to draft resolutions indorsing the
action of the State Dental Society and
giving it its moral and financial support.
1t was decided that permanent dental
society be formed in Sacramento, and a
committee, consisting of Drs. Reith and
Root, appointed to confer with the den
lists OF sacramento pertaining to such
organization.
A vote of thanks was extended to w.
o. Bowers for his courtesy in giving the
use of his parlors.
Several hours were spent in discussing
professional topics, after which the meet
ting adjourned till Friday evening, Janu-
ary 5, 1894. The meeting was very en-
thusiastic one, and the members antici-
pate good results from their organization.

GIVEN THEIR CERTIFICATES.
The RecentIy-EIected City Officials
Ready to Take Office.
Proposed New Quarters-Gravel for the
Twelfth-Street Grade-Levees
and Sidewalks.

The City Trustees held a meeting yes
terday morning and allowed the salaries
of the city employees.
The sidewalks Of lots l and S, between
Nineteenth and Twentieth, NJ and n
streets; lots and 3, Eighteenth and Nine
teenth, Nj and n streets, and lot 4,
Eighteenth and Nineteenth, L and M
streets, were condemned.
A license was granted to A. Burnett to
keep saloon at 1923 Third street.
The application of Charles Yates for
saloon license at 3l6 L street was refused,
the Mayor saying that his license had been
revoked and he could not see any reason
for granting him another.
The board decided that it would be
necessary to gravel the Twelfth-street
grade between the bridge and the county's
trestle, distance of about $50 feet.
City Engineer Boyd said it would cost
1865 to gravel the road twenty feet wide,
and as the fund is low the matter was
laid over till next Tuesday.
THE LEVEEs.
Trustee Conklin thought it would be a
good idea to have p. A. Miller present an
itemized account of the money expended
anu WOI II QOH6 Ou lu6 DTuSu I6N6lIu0uI
on the river bank above the Pioneer Mill,
and on his motion ii was so ordered.
Mayor SteinInan also thought it would
be a good idea to inspect the Y-street
levee before paying Contractor Bates in
full, and the board determined to do so.
DECLARED ELECTED.
On motion of Trustee Green, the votes
for candidates at the city election on No
vembe 7th were then canvassed and the
successful candidates declared elected.
NEW QUARTERS.
Mayor Steinman reported that he had
secured suitable rooms for his office in
the Tubbs building at Sixth and l streets
for a rent of $50 per month for the first
year and S32 80 for the second. He
wished for authority from the board TO
make a two years. lease and it was
granted.
He also said that the new Board of
Trustees would need other quarters, and
thought they could use the rooms now
occupied by Justice Devine and he could
move his office to their present quarters.
However, that was for the new board to
determine.
All the Offices except his own should be
together, and he was trying to have the
county give the city the Courthouse for
City Hall and build new Courthouse for
itself, as it can easily do with an assess
ment roll of 100000. The general
fund, he said, has about $4,000 in it,
which will start the new board in good
shape.
The board then adjourned.

This is not at all surprising. The time
within which to make the fair grounds
and buildings ready was very short-too
brief: but it was all the time available.
Probably no such rapid work has been
done before as at the Midwinter Fair
grounds. If then, the fair cannot be
ready on the 1st of January, it will be
unwise to have the opening on that day,
as now planned. Visitors who go to the
fair and find it unready will give it such
criticism as will injure it for its season.
Some sensible people will look at the
matter properly, but the masses of Wis.,
itors will reason that, if the fair is opened
on given day, there ought tobe on that
day something to show for the money
paid. 1t would be the part OF wisdom.
therefore. to put the opening over until
the fair is decently in order and the ex-
hibits SO far advanced in the matter of
placing, that those who pay to enter will
not feel that they have been cheated.
Everything depends upon starting right
in this matter, and to begin we'll is worth
the sacrifice of a fortnight

A GRATIFYING MANIFESTATION.

That there is a lively spirit of true
charity at work in the hearts of the peo-
pie is manifest just now by the abund-
ance of provision made by those able to
give, for the comfort and Christmas:cheer
of the poor, and the wise discretion en-
ployed in distributing such aid.
Indiscriminate charity is provocative
OF pauperism and is waste Of half of good
effort. But giving through organized
agencies and after examination into the
needs of claimants and of those too sore
and proud to make known their wants is
wisdom.
All over the land there is the Hveliest
of effort of that order being put forth to
make glad the hearts of the poor in the
holiday season. Indeed, it is asserted by
those who know that not for thirty years
has there been such liberal volume of
provision and such generous manifesto
ton of the spirit of giving as IN this sea-
son, nor such wise means employed to
properly distribute aims.

down to sleep just as they have unwit-

they sleep Santa Claus appears, bemoan-

IT is suggested to that class of people
who annually ''swear off" from small
vices on the beginning of a new year that
it is full time for them to be getting their
resolution machinery in order and their
pledge code in shape. There is some
doubt as to which is the weaker man-he
who waits until particular date before
he summons courage to do what he ought
TO do at once, or he who sets limit to his
virtue by specifying time certain within
which he will abandon vicious practice.
The fact is that the fellow who waits until
the first day of the new year to "swear
off," and the fellow who swears off for
just year and no more, are one in
weakness and Stiffness. The true man
has sufficient moral stamina to reform
himself without the aid of date as a be-
ginning and sufficient wisdom to abandon
vice without proviso for a return to it,
or else he has the courage to adhere to
vicious habit and make no infantile pleas
in excuse,

A Tahhy,s Reflections

a strange cat strayed into the Crys-
tai Maze one day last week and left
not long after one of the most perturb-
ed felines in New York City. Walking
around among the mirrors she saw
her own reflection on all sides She
was not pleased Her tail started to
swell and she rushed at the nearest cal
which advanced to meet her at the
same rate of speed. With shrek OF
defiance they met and the ugly tenn
pered feline fell back from a fearful
bump against mirror.
Up she jumped and looked around
only to see an array of abused cats
staring at her. When she moved 19i
moved also. With a mighty yowl Of
disgust she turned to fee. Groups Of
cats greeted her everywhere as she
dashed into the mirrors and tried tc
climb the slippery surfaces of the
| glasses
In the course of ten minutes the
animal came out through the exit as il
| shot from a catapult With two en-
ormous bounds she reached a window
and, without stopping. jumped out into
1.-THE street, falling about twenty OF
| thirty feet Without. stopping for ar
instant she rushed into Thirty-eightt
street and disappeared in one of the
adjacent stables a very badly 1rat

Washington, Dec 2-Senator Jones.
OF Nevada, who has spent the great
est part Of the time since the adjourn
menu OF the extra. session in New
York, has returned to Washington.
He says his observation of financial
affairs confirms him in the opinion ex-
pressed by himself and other silver
advocates prior to the passage Of the
bill, repeating the Sherman purchasing
silver act. that there will be no ma
terial revival of business because of
that action by Congress.
He finds that some men who have
been boarding money since the panic
began, are showing a disposition to put
it out for gilt edged securities, feeling
that it is better to have a, small income
from their capital. than to keep it
lying idle, but that the disposition Is
against taking risks and as a conse-
quence there is little doing looking to
an extension of the industrial interests
of the country.
This he attributes to the small VOL
ume Of currency. In fact persons with
money will not make investments when
prices are falling. Jones says he does
not expect to see any legislation which
will materially benefit silver during
the present administration
