As the time passed the sea seemed to

the curtain. One glance caused my
heart to stand still. The waves of
the restless sea were dashing against
the walls of the castle, and as each
succeeding n am on it seemed to
shake the old structure to its founda-

vast expanse of water, of hungry, dash
ing waves. Not a shrub, not a bowlder.
We were being swallowed up by the
briny deep!
"Coreta, darling wife, we are lost!
Oh, God, my boy!'

Rushing through the hall, l called
Arabia and sent her to her mistress and
then rushed down the stairs. Before !

roar of the waves as they struck the
house were deafening. Icould not open
the front door. It would have been
useless. The windows, where not pro-

Nothing to DO but to return and die by
my wife and boy. Back, up the stairs

were kneeling on the floor praying.

sermon in this fashion: Susan"

that awakened her, as it did all the

BOSS RECORDS.

The republication of Dan Burns record
as Secretary Of State is not exactly news,
but it is a useful reminder just at this
juncture. This man. who escaped San
Quentin only by technicalities. poses as
the dictator of the Republican party in
San Francisco. Decent, law-abiding citi-
zens and business men are asked TO lend
their votes to carrying out his purposes.
1t would be gr0tesque exhibition OF
faulty should our citizens decide to pre-
fer the dictum of this man to the public
opinion of the business and industrial
elements of this city as expressed in the
Non Partisan movement If any voter
turns to the Democratic patty he finds no
RELIEF from the machine management
operated by Burns. 1t would be only
swapping the Burns for the Buckley
machine. 1t is unnecessary to run over
Buckeyes record. The people know 1t by
heart. 1t is useless TO institute COMPARE
sons between the two bosses. They are
brothers in methods and aims. The one
thing for honest voters to do is to eschew
them and their works and vote the Non
Partisan ticket.

Cleveland, it is safe to say that Mr.. Cleve-

The Democrats proposed TO open the home

EDWIN Ii. WAITE.

Secretary of State Waite died at his res
idence in Alameda early on Tuesday
morning. Failing health compelled him
to escape the pressure of work in the Sec
retarv of States Office last week, his inten-
ton then being to return after couple of
days needed rest. But the need for rest
was more imperative than he supposed.
He failed in strength from the time he left
work until Monday night. when his illness
assumed an alarming character. Mr.. Waite
came to California in 1649, and for some
months was engaged in mining in Nevada
County. The public first heard of him in
connection with the Nevada Journal. in
the management of which the late a. A.
Sargent was associated. He soon drifted
into politics and was elected TO the State
Senate from Nevada County. He was
recognized at once as brainy man, but in
public speaking he disappointed his ad-
mirers. He could inspire speakers, and if
he could have spoken as well as he thought
there is DO post of honor in the State he
might not have aspired to. Els name car
ried the weight of sound thought and
radical integrity. Re would neither toIe-
rate nor compromise with what seemed to
him to be wrong. In his almost four
years service as Secretary of State and as
ex-officio member of the Board OF Exam
liners be showed what the right kind of a
man can do in positions of trust and
responsibility. MIR. Waite married early
in life, and widow and five daughters
survive him.

AT ITS OLD TRICKS.

When the Southern Pacific Company
came 10 the conclusion that the so-caled
Wallace Grand Jury had struck hot trail
it brought action in Superior Judge Muir
phys department of the Superior Court to
declare that jury Illegal. Judge Murphy
found Law to meet the case and the Wallace
Grand Jury was declared Illegal.
When certain prOperty-holders came to
the conclusion that the Southern Pacific
Company did not intend to keep the prom
Use by which it induced the last Board of
Supervisors to close up certain streets
they commenced action to have the order
set aside. The Southern Pacific filed de-
murrer which by some means was referred
to Judge Murphy. Now we see that the
demurrer was sustained. 1t did not appear
that the Southern Pacific Company had
any real intention of keeping its promise,
but the demurrer was sustained all the
same. The case will probably be taken
TO the Supreme Court. The importance of
conventions which turn down candidates
for the Supreme Court which the South
ern Pacific cannot rely upon to see law as
its lawyers see it is now apparent.

VOTE THE WHOLE TICKET.

Voters should bear in mind that the
strength of the Non-Partisan movement
will be determined by the average vote
cast for such nominees as have no other
nominations. Among them are Mr.. Siebe
for Assessor. McNab for Sheriff. Roman
for Recorder, Barclay Henley for District
Attorney. Van DER Naillen for City and
County Surveyor and Rigdon for Coroner.
The election Of these men is of vast i'm
portance, as it will tend to measure the
sentiment OF the community in regard to
the government of cities by officials
selected with especial regard to personal
fitness, the term of course including both
character and ability. If the straight
Non-Partisan vote should be small, there
will be less incentive to continue the
organization and eventually establish the
principle of non-partisanship in municipal
affairs. With Burns at the head of one
national party and Buckley at the head
of the other, there is certainly LOUD
call for an organization independent Of
