dominated by the larger towns.
The red brushes and one gallused
brigade are getting tired of defeat
resulting from nominating men for
congress who "can make speech"
Nine out of ten of them at some
time in their life has said too much.
The people are decidedly in favor
of nominating men who can be elect
ed. They find that their interests
are safer in the hands of solid
business man who is always at his
post of duty to vote and votes right,
than in the hands, of a politician
who is only there when he wants to
hear himself talk. They know that
their interests are better served by
farmer elected than by politician
defeated. The truth is there is no
one asking for the nomination for
congress who can make a much bet
ter speech than Mr.. Capehart. None
of them are orators like Brutus was
nor possess any other qualities that
are likely to catch any third party
or independent element,
politicians can go right along
opening their campaign in the lar
ger towns, and setting up the ward
workers, but when the rural roost-
ers are heard from some gay tail
plumage is going to drop.

ID. w. Burnett is the owner of piece Of
land on the American river, near Salmon
Falls, in Ell Dorado county. The river bed
there, for 100 or 200 yards, had never been
mined. Some Chinese made him an offer
to lease this land for mining purposes for
two years, Offering to pay him 500 for
the use thereof. This was declined. The
Chinese were persistent, though, and af-
ter bartering for awhile Mr.. Burnett told
them they could have the land for the
time stated for $3.50, one-half IN be paid
In advance and the balance at the end of
the year.
The offer was accepted, and Mr.. Bur
nett was congratulating himself ON his
bargain and considered the S75 to have
come into his possession easily.
He was not long In changing his mind.
As soon as the lease was signed the Chi
nese began to work. A force of IS or 20
men were employed by them. A wing
dam was built and wheel and other ap-
paratus put up there, the cost of which
was not over s400 or $500.
About three days after it WAS rumored
that the mine was producing 81 800 a day.
An investigation disclosed the fact that
the heather had sent away s., 500 worth
of dust within week after they began
work. Several thousand dollars worth
of dust was also disposed of in Chinatown
and handed over to one of the Chinese
merchants here.-Folsom Telegraph.

A Pennsylvania senator told the other
day an anecdote to illustrate the high
standard of political morality in the Key
stone State. There was an old Dutchman,
u farmer, thrifty and prosperous, who had
been carefully saving for many years. FL
nally he was elected to the Legislature. 1t
was II peculiarly profitable session, There
were several railroad charters up for con
sideration. Hans served faithfully, never
broke silence, and always voted and aft
er the Legislature had adjourned, surprised
his friends at home by laying the founda-
tion of - 900 house, while there were
rumors of n SEQ, 900 bank deposit.
"Have you had legacy, Hansf" asked
a neighbor at last.
"oh, no, was the reply. 81 have only
been saving"
"But how could you manage to save
$50 900 ON IL three months salary of 90 a
dayf"
"Ah," responded Hans complacently
"that was very easy. You see my wifi,
didn't keep no hired girl last winter. -
