want the best If they can get it. They
don't want leaders to be servile, or even
appear to hatter. They want, rather,
every man to hold to his owa. Their
Judgment is sound In all these things,
and their instinct is unerring. Mr..
Fassett, the ambitious young Republi-
can who opposed Governor Flower in
the last gubsrnatorial campaign, ap-
peared upon the platform in one OF the
halls of lower New York, where a meet
ing was appointed, in his shirt-sleeves,
and was booted out OF the room for his
folly. Nor is this ability to judge cor
rectly and to act consistently and prac-
tically confined to this country. The
English worker, in the lowest ranks, is
free and loyal in his acts. He does not
hate the upper classes. He would have
them simply treat him well and keep to
their own. He would not disturb the
form OF government, and he has q real and
honest pride in the royal family. And
30 even of the Russian peasant. He
does not want to be a noble, nor bring
the noble down to be a peasant, and he
distrusts and denounces the blind and
futile course CT Tolstoi in his wild
crusades. In short, the individual man
everywhere simply wants his own-a
fair chance to live. Give him this and
we can trust him to choose his party and
place in the world.

THE AUSTRALIANS.

The Ts-ra-ra Boomerangers to Give a
Performance Tomorrow.
On tomorrow at Athletic park grounds
there will be an exhibition of the Aus
tralian boomerang-throwers and black
trackers who have been recently brought
to this country from cannibal tribe of
the natives of Australia by the veteran
showmen, r. A. Cunningham and F.
Frost, who acts as business manager for
the enterprise. These are the only Aus
tralian boomerang throwers ever brought
to California. These aborgines are
fresh from the jungles of Queensland and
are objects of interest not only because
OF their peculiar ekill, but are interest
ing as human study.
The entertainment will begin by q
short exhibition of their skill in WELD
ing the boomerang. The manufactur-
ing of this peculiar missile is accom-
plished entirely by hand, and though
exceedingly simple represents no small
amount of labor.
A unique war dance will be given by
the entire company, in which they will
go through the many frantic movements
customary among their tribe when pre-
pairing for battle.
In this connection the eavages will
also sing few of their martial airs.
On the whole the entertainment will
not onlysbe interesting but also instruc-
tive.

THEN AND NOW.

Several years ago Los Angeles had
Democratic chief of police named
Benedict. He was not political
boss, but practical police Off
Ger, having served as private
and captain OF police before his pro.
motion: and his knowledge of the de-
tails of the police system was as thor
ough as his official life was conscientious
and worthy of emulation. Under his
administration of our local laws, gam
bling was promptly suppressed and
crime hid its shame-scourged face. He
ran the police department upon the
strictest business principles, ignoring
all political considerations and selecting
the privates of the force solely with
reference to their qualifications. One
day came an election and the result OF
that election was Republican board of
police commissioners; and the first act
of that board was to dismiss Mr.. Bene-
dict for no better reason than that he
was Democrat.
On Tuesday last convened the new
board OF police commissioners, ana OF
that board OF five members there were
but two who claimed to be Republicans.
For all that, Democratic mayor placed
in nomination for chief of police very
worthy man, Mr.. J. P. Moran, but his
fellow Democrats (?) on the board could
not be induced to cooperate with him.
They voted with the two Repu blican
members of the board for the retention
of Chief Glass, in pursuance of bar
gain made between them and "the solid
five" Republican members of the city
council. The Republican daily newspa-
pers of this city are commencing their
action, as having taken the police de-
partment entirely out of politics. If a
bipartisan police department is de-
sirable land we firmly believe such to
be the casey why was Mr.. Benedict re-
moved in the first place?

The deadly greenback will soon
be getting in its work. Mr.. Outh-
waite Of Ohio is making war upon it.
He has probably come to our view that,
on the question of cleanliness alone,
the smaller bills of all sorts should be
made to give way to silver, which, if it
were done, as we pointed out, would at
once save US from the cholera, and put
all our silver dollars in circulation in
fact, solve the silver question, so far as
this country is concerned. Mr.. Outh-
waite states that ope-dollar green
back OF the Issue Of 1873 showed "three
different sorts of fierce bacteria" DIR.
JIG. Graham Of the medical college of
Columbus washed one bill and
gathered in as result, $500 micro
organisms, any one Of them liable to pro-
duce disease" Attention is called to
the fact that the more bill is worn the

ADJUSTMENTS.

GRAND OPERA HoUsR-When Mr..
Charles Dickson appeared year or 90
ago as star his friends thought he was
too daring and his enemies were sure he
would fail; and to be frank, when he
appeared here on his first visit in Incog,
little more could be said OF the perform
ance than the negative verdict that it
was not displeasing.
Last evening, however, in five min
utes after the young comedian appeared
on the stage it was evident that he had
arrived at the station he claimed. He
has lost a certain amount of self-con-
sciousness that was noticeable on his
former visit, and plays with an ease and
firm poiss that is most gratifying. Mr..
Dickson is success beyond question.
| The support is excellent throughout.
Miss Lillian Burckhardt captures the
audience at once by her charming per-
sonality and her no less charming
laugh. The difficulty of rendering the
latter 30 naturally as to set every person
in the audience gigsling with sympathy
must be enormous. TO appreciate it,
one need only consider that the young
woman has to laugh that way every
Another enjoyable hit is the General
Stanhope of Mr.. Ed Connolly. The
part is completely divested of any vul.
gar burlesque effects, and is rendered
consistently throughout.
Miss Haslam was most effective as
Kate Armitage, and in fact each mem
ber of the company shows most excel
lent efforts.
The Salt Cellar, the curtain raisel
which was greatly enjoyed last evening
will be repeated this evening, being re-
placed on Saturday afternoon and even
| ing by The Man About Town.

TURNvEREIN HALL.-The box Office
will open this morning for the perform
ance on Saturday evening of Turner'S
| English girls. A Minneapolis paper
says of their performance The womsr
are all young and pretty, and the ward
robe is gorgeous. The singing of Miss
Ella Francis, the premier soprano vocal
ist, is most pleasing. The sisters La
Verno were encored to the echo. Charles
Dunn is sketch artist of talent. Fred
Barth, the eccentric grotesque comedian
| fully sustained his reputation as char
acter and trick comedian. Miss Nellie
Russell held the stage for over 80 min
utes, and WAS then compelled to ask the
audience to excuse her. The presenta.
tion of Cleopatra was very fine, and took
we'll; also, The Merry Female Club sent
every one home in good humor.

CHURCH OF THE UNITY The conclud-
ing lecture of the interesting University
extension series will be delivered by
Pros Jos. LIE Conte tonight. The sub
ject of Evolution, as treated by the
learned professor, cannot but afford a
highly intellectual entertainment, and
there will undoubtedly be great
amount Of curiosity to learn his views
ON this important topic. ~

COLLEGE SHowMEN.

In the last number of the Harvard
college paper is the announcement that
the Glee club, the Banjo club. and the
Guitar and Mandolin club have leave of
absence for concert tours, and the routes
OF travel are also published. 1t appears
that about 80 students were to be absent
on trip covering several weeks, and
calling for many thousands of miles
travel, to meet their eugagements-very
exhaustive work, with not little hard
ship and mere or less exposure to many
elements of danger.
These young men are not profession.
ais yet, but that is the only difference
between them and the showmen who
live by this means. It is not easy to see
more than one argument in favor of this
business, and that is the plea that it ia
sure and effective way to advertise the
college represented. precisely as football,
rowing and baseball clubs are supposed
to have done in earlier years.
And what is true of Harvard 10 in q
measure true OF every college in the
eountry--our own Rtate institutions
having now joined in the fray. 1t is
pretty hard to draw exact and unaltera.
BILE lines of conduct for young men at
school, but if it be true that there are
from three to four hundred college stu
dents ION the road" for several weeks
in the fall and early winter as a regular
business" besides the old-time sport
ing forays, what shall be said of the
chances of those who do good and faith
full class work? And what must be the
effect of this wild, irregular life upon
them in many ways? Is there one
father or mother in the land who would
approve of this line of public show in
the case of the young boy whom they
send to the highest institution in the
land to be educated? Not one. The
whole thing has grown into its present
shape and proportions in spite of what
parents and guardians would like, and
wholly to answer the ends of supposed
necessity to keep the claims of each
college somehow before the public. 1t
is craze which must soon work its own
cure, let as hope.

From the Nerr YORK. Times.

The bookkeeper left his desk in the mid

passed into his office and thence out of the
warehouse. leaving word with the boy at
the door that he was going TO funeral and
would not be back before night il he had to
