Johnson IN MARIPOSA
People Gather in Crowds to Hear the
Next Con2resSmau


Next Congressman.
Reports received from the southern end
or the Second Congressional District
show that Hon. Grove L. Johnson Is be-
ing received down there with the same
enthusiasm that marked his campaign in
the northern and central portions of the
district.
The meetings addressed by him al
Hornitos and Coulterville this week were
the largest ever held in that portion of the
State. Realizing the fact that Mir. John
son is sure winner, and that he is to be
the next Congressman from this district.
the people everywhere turn out to see and
hear him. His fame as an orator, as an
earnest, vigorous speaker, has long pre-
ceded him, and the mere announcement
that Mr.. Johnson is to speak is sufficient
to insure large meeting anywhere.

If you do not want more ripping up
the back, more uncertainty and moro
business stagnation, send men to Con-
gress and the Legislature who believe
that the laborer is worthy of his hire,
that every man is entitled to fair returns
for what his hands or brain produces,
and that our neghbOrs' welfare is of
more direct concern to all of US than Is
that of residents OF another continent.

UNFAIR PLAY.
Riverside Press.1
It is a disgrace to the State that a man
should be nominated for the high posi-
ton of Governor who is capable of going
about the commonwealth asserting and
reasserting things about an opponent
that are absolutely groundless, and
which he we'll knows to be 50. Mr.. Budd
has been guilty in this respect in several
statements which he continues to repeat.
One is that Mr.. Estee had been untriendly
to the cOlored race In that, as a member
of the Legislature some thirty years ago
he spoke disparagingly of them. Mr.
Machin, who was Speaker of the session
referred to, has publicly shown the fall
sity Of the statement. The speech re-
ferred to was made by q Democratic mem
an absurd attack. except to show the un-
principled methods made use of by one
who seeks the highest place in the gift of
Californians

The next speaker introduced was the
Hon. Antoine Caminetti, Democratic NOM

cratic party is the parent. How Mr.
Caminetti can hope for Democratic sup
port under such circumstances, we can

Before the Recorder.

Pablo Longoria, the Mexican
who was run in on charge of dis.
orderly conduct because of his
hoodoo performances was before
the recorder this morning-the
rag doll was produced and lay on
the recorders desk, the circum-
stances of the disturbance caused
by Longoria's performances, was
related by the witnesses, and then
the prisoner was asked what he
had to say, and put up the plea
that he had a right in his own
house to worship as he pleased.
The recorder dismissed the case on
the broad principle of religious lib
erty. The doll was handed to Lon
goria; he snatched it eagerly, and
put it in his pocket, remarking
that it was his property. There is
a woman at the bottom of it.

The Alderman's Parrot.

Alderman Mackey has a pet
parrot in his elegant five-story
building on Houston street, which
the old gentleman formerly used
to take great comfort in and spent
much time in training to talk. He
considers him something of a nui-
sance lately and his opinion has
changed because the bird has
learned to mimic the tone and
words of the alderman's little son.
He has heard the boy calling "Pa-
pa" and since then the alderman
knows not If it is the parrot or the
boy who calls him. The other day
when the bird called the old gen.
tleman climbed up four flight OF
stairs and looked all over the
building searching for his son,
who seemed to be in great distress.
When the top floor was reached he
heard the same cries far below
him, and afterward found it was
the parrot.

A CHARMING MEXICAN.
He is Discovered Trying to Work
the Rabbits Foot on
Neighbor,

Neighbor.
Police officer Perez was called
last night to the house of a Mexi-
lean living on South Laredo street,
between Nueva and Doloroso
streets, to look into the peculiar
actions of strange Mexican who
was discovered inhabiting one
room of a vacant adobe hut adjoin-
ing the domicile of the tremulous
informer. The officer peeped
through a crack in the walls and
saw the man lying face down on
the floor, bending over a square
piece of gunry sack, at the four
corners of which stood four bits of
lighted candles. In the middle of
the sack cloth was a china doll,
dressed in a brilliant polka-dot
dress. The man would gaze in
tently at this, then speak a
few, seemingly cabalistic words,
get upon his feet dance around and
chant a few more sentences and
then resume his former posture.
At the officers knock for admit
tance, he hurriedly extinguished
the light and secreted the doll
and cloth under the mattress of
an old bed and then demurely
opened the door. The officer could
get no tangible excuse from him
for his action, though when the
doll and cloth were brought to
view by the officer, his anguish
knew no bounds until they were
restored to him. The neighboring
Mexican thinks he was trying to
work some voudoo spell over him,
and was greatly alarmed.
