bly, never been told in this country be-
fore. 1t includes every description of
dishonesty, every crime and vice, and
II 1t were told in romance 1t would be
considered wild fight Of the magma
ton Of the author and utterly improb-
able. There is a lesson in it
for other municipalities, however, just
as there was lesson in the disclosures
of rottenness in New York politics, and
that lesson is that Americans as a rule
are criminally careless in their indiffer-
ence to municipal affairs. They seem to
think that the management of the city
in which they live is a matter of no i'm
mediate concern to them, and they
rather pride themselves on paying no
attention to local politics. And yet the
exact reverse of this condition of af-
fairs should exist. We should watch
most closely what most closely affects
us. National affairs, as rule, are far
less important than municipal, and yet
the latter are always neglected for the
former; the result is a continual COM
plant that municipal matters are be-
ing dishonesty managed; that the peo-
pie are being robbed, and that there is
| a scandal in connection with this or
that Office or department of the city
government. The blame is with the
people who neglect their duty as citi-
zens, and who willfully allow political
corruption to grow up around them
without making an effort to control 1T
until it has reached extraordinary pro-
portions.
AN IDEA.
Colusa Sun: No man in his proper
senses can desire war Great fortunes
will be made out of war if we are so
unfortunate as to get into one, but
what man would be willing to wade
through a sea of blood for mere money?
A war with England would mean rivers
of blood; it would mean suffering and
want, tears and desolation of hearth
stones; it would mean a burden of debt
heaped on this country that would be
a mortgage on it's industry for cent
ury: it would mean a broader line be-
tween the rich and the poor. The voice
of the "Sun" has not been for war; on
the other hand, it has been distinct
lively for peace. There is no doubt in the
mind of the editor as to whether the
Monroe doctrine is worth a war. The
people of the country, however, seem
to be of the opinion that it is, and,
knowing that fact, the President was
justified in writing the message even
If he himself would be unwilling to pay
the terrible price for it's maintenance.
England has valuable territory for
which to contend-we have an idea.

AN ADDLED PRESS.

Los Angeles Herald: A number of the
Old World papers persist in constituting
President Cleveland's recommendation
that a commission be allowed him by
Congress with which to investigate the
merits of Venezuela's claim to juris-
dIction over the disputed territory, into
an assumption by this Government of
the right to itself arbitrate the contro-
versy. AS of course the foreign editor
can read, this distortion of the Pres
ident's meaning must be because he
cannot or will not understand what he
reads.
To those who have read The Presi
dents message with a reasonable de-
gree of calmness it is pain that tho
business of the commission would be to
ascertain the merits Of the boundary
dispute for the satisfaction of the
United States; to brilg out those facts
that would be developed by an arbitra-
ton court, so that wna.ever position
the United States assumes as the result
CT Great Brltain's continued refusal to
arbitrate shall be taken intelligeEtly
If the investigation of the commission
shows that England is right in her
claims, there will be nothing for this
Government to do but to allow her to
take possession of the territory in dis
pute. But if, on the contrary, the com
mission concludes that in its opinion
the British Government is wrong, this
Government will be obliged to adhere
TO its demand that England relinquish
her claims or submit TO a court of arbi-
tratioh selected by both the interested
Governments. There is absolutely no
room for the assertion that this Gov
ernment intends to force itself into the

Rain and Lightning.

EH11H 49, E.NE AFE2H
The first RAIN to visit this section in
several weeks came on Sunday after
noon, accompanied by a severe electric
storm. The lightning played many
pranks and seemed to try to see how
close 1T could come killing some n and
yet spare the life. ABBOTT struck the re-
sldence Of G. i. Lewis and fired it, which
soon brought out the fire companies,
who in short order extinguished the
flames, without a great deal Of damage
to the house, except as is always the
case water which was necessary to ex-
tinguish the fire damaged walls and fur
niture. Another bolt struck the house
occupied by May Brown on Rapid street
and came very neal ending the life OF
one OF the inmates. The current struck
the girl on the shoulder, ran down and
tore one shoe from her foot, leaving her
in an UNCONSCIOUS condition from which
she soon recovered, feeling rather sore
and nervous
The rain was a welcome visitor and
will do much good to late grain and
vegetables.

Paine's Celery Compound A
Sure Specific.
No Wen-Ilf0rmed Person Suffers
FrGm Il.
The Disease No Longer an
Incurable One.
Greatest of All Remedies Pres
cribed By Doctors.
a LONG, BRILLIANT RECORD OF
REMARKABLE CURES.

Neuralgia and rheumatism-two dis
orders no longer incurable
Physicians today get rid of rheuma-
tism and neuralgia, as they do Sleep
lessness, melancholy, hysteria and 9TH
er results of nervous exhaustion, by
building UP the system and supporting
its delicate nerve parts by the use of
Paine's celery compound.
Paine's celery compound attacks the
disease by getting the system back TO
its properly nourished condition. 1t
stands alone in the history of medicine.
1t is a certain specific for the cure, not
only of rheumatism, but also of all
diseases due to impoverished nerves
and blood.
The close connection of we'll fed
nerves and brain with health is the
solid rock upon which Paine's celery
compound stands. The thousands of
men and women all over the country
who have been cured of rheuma tism
once and for all by Paine's celery com
pound have made good all that the
medical fraternity first predicted for it.
That it restores health and strength
to the body made weary, listless and
respondent from nervous debility,
needs no proof today in thousands of
homes.
The list of those it has freed from
rheumatism is a long one. It contains
host of well known men and women
at home and abroad. Every city and
town in the United States and Canada
is represented
Paine's celery compound was first
PREPARED by Prof. Edward E. Phelps,
NJ. D., Ii. D., of Dartmouth college
Every since its first appearance it Ia g
been the one recognized nerve and
brain invigorator among medical men.
Its constant use by physicians. where
an active nutriment is urgently needed,
speaks volumes for its efficacy in dis
eases of nervous origin.
Strength buoyant spirits and free
dom from pain comes with its use.
