Distinctions without Differences.

Distinctions Without Differences
When my dear, little son, who's five years old
this week,
Climbs upon my desk and NEEDLES with my
quills,
Upsets my ink upon my treasured manuscripts
And tears to pieces all my little mems and
bills
And when my petted daughter, at the age OF
three,
Cuts all the pictures from my bcst.bcoved
books,
And takes my postage stamps and pastes them
on the wall,
Thus interfering greatly with the dado's
looks
SIT me smiling by and curb my temper we'll
call not either one q simple little Ounce,
But, like a.dad indrlgent tell theiL scoldinF ma;
oh WELL let them alone. They're children
only once"
But when my next-door neighbor's boy comes
over here,
And leaves a specb OF mud upon my hard
wood floor
The people for at least hundred yards around
Can't close their ears against my penetrating
roar;
And should by chance my neighbor's daughter
also come,
And inadvertently upset my mucilage
At children's beasty manners l do loudly rail,
And wrinkle up my brow with frowns OF
blackest rage
And hence it is put this question to mankind
why is 1t that, with children all as like as
gnats,
All men regard their own small fry as angels
dear,
And look upon their neighbors' boys and girls
as bratsS

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.-Four Chinese
employed in laundry at 536 Valencia
street were burned to death this morning
and their badly disfigured remains now
furnish a most revolving spectacle at the
Morgue. Two other Chinese were also
badly burned, but their injuries are not
regarded fatal, although one of them may
lose portion of leg and will probably
be disfgured for life.
At $50 A. NJ. an alarm was turned in
for fire in the aforementioned
premises. When the fire department ar
rived the building, one-story structure,
was all in flames.
The fire was quickly subdued and an
investigation was made to ascertain il
any lives were lost. One of the firemen i,
as he was entering through the back
door, stumbled over the dead bodies OF
two unfortunate Cinnamon who had
been suftocated with smoke. Their faces,
hands and entire bodies were almost
burned to a crisp.
From the positions in which they were
found it is evident the two Cinnamon had

escape when they became exhausted, fell
down just as they had almost reached the
outside OF the burning Wash-hOuse, and
expired.
Near the front door and on the north
side of the rookery two more unfortunate
Mongolians were found in their hunks
sutfocated and badly burned. IRON all
appearances they never awakened to

they were resting apparently as they had

days, and be thorough canvass of the
situation. The conference is being held
with closed doors.
The possibilities are that new political
party, with free silver coinage as the sole
plank of the platform, was among the
developments Of the days secret session
Of the silver leaders.
The day was devoted to expressions of
opinion of representatives of different
States. They were uniformly TO the effect
that the working people and farmers are
dissatisfied with the course Of Congress III
repeating the purchase clause of the
Sherman Act.
Senators Jones and Stewart, Master
Workman Sovereign of the Knights of
Labor and National Lecturer Whitehead
OF the grange were among the speakers
of the afternoon.
During the address of Senator Jones an
interesting colOQuy occurred between
him and Grand Master Workman SOVer-
eign. The latter suggested that when the
labor ranks had assisted toward securing
free silver there should be a reciprocity
by which the silver leaders would assist
in securing labor reforms. Jones con-
tended that all labor questions were
merged in the money question, and it's
solution would settle them all. Sovereign
and the Senator al last met on common
grounds iii agreeing that The silver ques-
ton be made the paramount issue or al
labor and industrial organizations.
Frequent references were made during
the speeches to-day to the necessity OF
organizing a silver party. made up OF ele-
ments heretofore gathered under the
standards of Populists, National Grange,
Knights of Labor, Farmers Alliance.
etc. The tendency of the conference is
toward this new organization. The proba-
bility is that the first effort OF the united
forces will be eXerted to carry the Con-
gressional elections next fail. 1t is unde-
cided whether this will be done by nOmi-
mating independent silver candidates for
Congress, or by indorsing such candi-
dates Of the old parties who have shown
by their records that they favor silver.
The belief of those attending the confer
ence is that a National silver ticket will
be put in the field as a result Of the pres
ent meeting.

GLENN COUNTY.
The Bill Creating 1t Declared Constr.

The Bill Creating 1t Declared Cousti-
tionaI by the Supreme Court.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.-The Supreme
Court has sustained the demurrer in the
suit brought by Scearce and other citizens
to declare the bill creating Glenn County
unconstitutional. The bill was approved
March II, 1891, and the Glenn County
government was at once organized. Pro-
ceedings were brought in the Superior
Court by Scearce and others to have it ju-
dically decreed that Glenn County is not
legally organized and is not separate
county government. The Glenn County
officials interposed demurrer upon gem
eral and special grounds. 1t was sus-
stained, and an appeal was promptly
taken. The only point presented by ap-
pellants was that the Act providing for
the creation of Glenn County was not, be-
fore its passage in the State Senate, read
on three separate days. in accordance
with the law. In summing up, the court
said: ''To hold here that the Glenn
County Act is unconstitutional for the
reason assigned would simply be to sub
stitute our Judgment of the propriety of
certain legislative action for that of the
legislators themselves, whose judgment
in the premises was, under the Constitu-
ton, supreme and final"
