THE PRINTERS EPITAF.

Here lies his form in pi,
Beneath this bank with briers overgrown'
How many cases, far unwOrthier lie
Meath some imposing stone?
No column points our loss;
No scuIptured caps his history declare:
Although he lived a follower Of the cross
And member of the bar,
The golden rule he priced
And left it as a token of his love;
And all his deeds, corrected and revised
And registered above.
The copy of his wrongs
The proofs of all his pi-ety-are there;
And the fair title which to truth belongs
VIII prove his title fair.
Tho now, in deaths embrace,
moldering heap our luckless brother lies,
He'll reappear on Gabrlels royal chase,
And frisk-it to the skies.

HOLLIS W. FIELD

"Killed in the fight" the papers read;
''5hot from behind" by one of his men?
1t must have been; he was riding ahead
Facing Il storm of bnllets when
Somebody saw him reel and fall
They raised him up from the blood-dyed
snow
Through, under the shoulder. the deadly ball
Had found his heart; is it all they know?
Did nobody see the rifeman's aim?
1t might have been accident. who can say?
Shot from behind, but where is the blame?
Bullets were thick on that fatetul day,
And others lay mangled about the field;
Slain from behind? All, no, nor yet
with an Gag spread in its yellow shield,
Showing his rank on the epauet.
"Shot from behind" it was years ago.
They buried the dead on that crimsoned hill
Just where they fell, where the winter snow
les untrodden and light and still;
Him, with his clear.cut, cruel face.
His purple lips lying half apart,
AS If to speak, and his hands in place
over the bullet that stilied his heart
"Shot from behind"-a cowardly deed!
Ills granted, aye; but who shall say
If coward and coward may justly plead
Two wrongs as wipng one stain away?
Twas private's bullet that laid him low;
Twas vengeance sating fury blind;
Twas a cowardly shot for a cowardly blow.
And the dead roll reads: HE was shot from

troll of affairs three-quarters of the time,
and the people are permitted to dominate
the other quarter. Government is con-
tinuing business and must be watched

by FRESHMAN Tom Savage in twelve hours;
Commenting on the removal, The Herald

before, but never such a huge one in so
few pieces, and never a whole perfecting
press in such an extraordinarily short
space of time. Never before have two

We hear that someone has been saying
that our board of trustees would not pay
the Los Angeles Herald for the write up
of San Pedro in the New Years edition of
that excellent journal We believe that
the board will pay for it and consider the
money well invested. Even if the write
up was not just what was promised, The
Herald has done in the past month work
enough for us to make up the difference,
and it keeps right on i'll the good work.
If The Herald were to charge for the
space it has devoted to our cause during
the past few months $3.50 would not be a
drop in the bucket. Now, gentlemen of
the board, pay the bill, for it is money
wisely invested.-San Pedro Times.
Under the new management the Los

have been made by the publishers of The

Mr.. Bradbury. By introducing new fea-
lures he has made the property much
more valuable than he found it. Under
such favorable auspices the circulation
and advertising patronage cannot fail to
increase with rapidity.-San Diego Union

MUNICIPAL REFORn

The people have at length come to an
appreciation of the Importance of good
municipal government and the abuses
that are so frequently committed in cities
by those who officially preside over their
affairs. The effort is to prevent these
abuses by not only getting rid of rings
and their official tools, but by making
charters to tie up officials and prevent
them from doing mischief.
These steps are all very well. 1t is well
to have as perfect charters as possible, and
to depose the gangs that infest cities, and
to talk and strive for economy, but these
do not accomplish all that is necessary.
Charters may be perfect and apparently
officials may be restrained from doing
mischief, yet all depends upon the char
acter of the men who are officials. There
are always plenty of men standing around
in readiness to take charge of government
if the people will permit them to
do SO. They are the fellows
who manipulate caucuses conventions
and elections and get the patronage and
fat jobs afterwards. There will be no abb
solute municipal reform until the people
see to it that men are nominated and
elected who will hold the public welfare in
supreme consideration; but, as the people
are generally indifferent in these matters,
the gangs who are for plumber control
nominations and elections and put for
ward those who can be controlled in their
interest in the distribution of patronage
and the bestowal of their favors.
Occasionally the people have a spasm of
vigilance and right up things for a time
and then relapse into state of indiffer-
ence and negligence. The ringsters I'M
derstand this phenomenon, and simply
wait for their time to come around again.
1t comes around speedily, and then they
repeat their old tricks till the people are
re-aroused, when they temporarily sub
