tates. This city is about to be made one
of the regular stopping places for tour
lists excursions in season. Heretofore
it has been but way station for that
kind of travel. We are prompted then
by the natural pride to adopt a system
that will present our streets in best
light to the thousands of strangers that
will visit the city. But IL not single
stranger should come within our gates
for the future, self-interest. sanitary
needs the love of cleanliness and the
right of the people to have the APP
proaches to their homes kept in decent
condition, demand that the new govern
ment shall at least make an attempt to
improve upon the methods of the old.
The Republican platform has pledged
its candidates specifically on these
points, and has condemned the present
order of things. We quote the declara-
tons of the party and submit them to
the intelligence of the voters of Saora-
mento. The platform reads:
Good, smooth, permanent, economic
highways being essentials in Well-or-
dered city for the health, comfort and
business of the people. we pledge our
candidates to favor and promote pro-
gressive, broad and liberal policy re-
garding street improvements, and to
push the same, but with due regard to
the ability of the owners of property to
pay therefor without distress.
We demand the immediate clearing
of the streets of all distractions and
stones, cobbles and rubbish, and de-
plore the fact that the present admin
istration has been unable to effect re-
form in this respect until citizens
formed an association and themselves
entered upon the work, and made pro-
tests to the Mayor and Trustees.
We demand that some means be de-
vised for the regular cleaning OF the
residence as well as the business streets,
believing that the former should be
cleaned at least once week, IN the
dry season, and that during the wet
season they should be kept reasonably
clear of mud until permanent highways
are substituted for the graveled streets.
For the health, comfort and business
of the people, and the good name or the
Capital City, we demand that next sea-
son there be provided a new and I'M
proved system of street sprinkllng, that
the scandals, complaints and lnef11-
cheney so prominent under the present
administration may cease.

DO NOT WANT TO VOTE.

OF 100000 women of voting age in
Boston only 10000 have registered, al
though they all are invited to vote for
school officers and also on the question
of woman suffrage in the city. The San
Jose Mercury asks: rs it possible thaC
the large majority of women in Boston,
and inferentially throughout the
country, really do not desire the bal
lot?" That is just about the fact-the
majority do not desire it. Next fall the
women of California will find out what
the men of California think of woman
suffrage, when the vote on the con =
stitutionaI amendment is cast.

WHAT WILL REPUBLICANS DO
HERE?

The people in many an election at
the East have proved that they want
change of domination in national
politics. They are coming back from all
directions to the home policy of Repub-
licanism.
Will Sacramento Republicans then do
less than stand by their party next Tues
day? VIII they not herald it to the
State and the other States that the Capital
City Of the Golden West is true to the
party? VIII Republicans, in the dawn
of a national campaign for the restoration
OF the party in national administration,
refuse to support their local ticket, the
choice of their delegates in open oonven-
ton assem- bled, where contests were free,
close, uncut and undried? We do not
believe that Sacramento next Tuesday
will render verdict adverse to the Re-
publican party.

The Evening Bee every day or two has
a special article commanding C. C. Rob
ertson for City Collector, and spplauding
his virtues and the wisdom of his nomi-
nation. But. singular as it may seem,
it is nevertheless true, that the same con-
vention that put forward the name of O.
C. Robertson for Collector nominated for
Mayor J. w. Wilson, whose nomination
our esteemed contemporary pretends to
believe was the work of body nodded,
controlled and dominated by vicious in

want to keep control Of the criminal

Now that the whole Mississippi Valley
has been shaken up by an earthquake,
the waves of which went as far east as the
base of the Blue Ridge, as far north as
the waters of Superior and south as the
delta of the Mississippi, our good friends
at the East will be less disposed to charge
up all seismic disturbance to California.
Compared with the late shake-up in the
Central and Southern States, we have had
nothing worth mention in the way OF

Durrant has been convicted, with the
death penalty as the consequence. 1t was
a case of circumstantial evidence wholly,
at once the most dangerous and the most
trustworthy. Witnesses may falsify and
circumstances may misiead, but as rule
circumstances well connected and sup
porting one another are held by all jurists
to be rs worthy of belief as direct and
personal testimony. and often more so.
So far as the court and the jury in the
Durrant case are concerned, it cannot be
questioned that the defendant had per-
fectly fair trial-certainly patient one.
The jury, 1t has all along been agreed,
was one of excellence, selected with great
care, and after one of the most prolonged
and patient efforts on record to get
twelve mon in the box whose minds were
in a condition to hear and judge with per-
feet impartiality. That their verdict
meets with the general belief OF the peo-
pie Is certain, and its justice we are not
disposed to doubt. But we confess that
great deal Of Indignation has been kindled
that bred pity If not sympathy for Dur
rant. because of the methods pursued
toward the case by large portion of the
San Francisco press. 1t ia not possible
to recall another case where sensational
journalism has carried so high hand, or
so outraged every sense OF right, fair play

Dunraven made an ass Of himself by

fool of himself by backing down from an
unsolicited challenge. 1t is repo rted that
he is kicking himself for his folly, and
we'll he may. No one asked him to put
in his oar. 1t was expected that Dun
raven would challenge again for the
American cup: it was his privilege to do
so. But Rose Clipped in and he was
welcomed, because 1t was assumed that
Dunraven was willing, and by consent
ing had drawn out permanently from
struggles for the cup. Rose happens to
be Canadian, though now resident OF
England. Certain Englismeu who tip
tilt their noses at Canadians gave him to

Hunger for annexation of territory
seems to have seized upon several Of
the European nations. The American
Republic should speak in no hesitating
voice in warning them to keep hands off

The Sacramento Evening Bee is not
weary in telling its readers that the Re-
publican Convention was boss ridden.
nor does our esteemed contemporary tire
of commenting the candidacy of Captain

him elected School Director. 1t dwells
long and well upon Mr.. Sherburn's en-
thusiastic devotion to the interests of the
public schools. That is right. He de-
serves all the praise he received. Mr..
Sherbur by the way, was nominated by
the same convention that nominated }.
w. Wilson, and is responsible to the
same party, and moreover if any influ-
ences at all out of the common were ex-
ersed in that convention in the makeup
of the ticket, Sherburn was just as sus-
ceptible to them as Wilson. But the Bee
says Sherburn's is good nomination. So
it is, and both he and Wilson will be
elected.

WITHIN A YEAR.

Within year from this date men
will be preparing their national bal
lots, the casting of which is to de-
termine whether the United States
Government is to remain under the
thumb Of the present unhappy fiscal
policy that maintains the paralysis Of
industry, or whether the broader bet
ter, wiser and more reasonable policy
OF Republicanism is to be restored to
the nation.
An election such as that of next
Tuesday in view of this national fact
becomes momentous. For it will in
dictate in large degree whether the peo-
pie of the Capital City are in line with
the policy Of the Republican party, or
are welded to the mistaken and de-
structive fiscal policy of the now domi-
nant party.
To-day is therefore having a direct
influence upon the determination of
the Presidential election twelve months
hence. Before that important event
where stand the ambitions of men
and the selfish claims of seekers for
municipal offices? For Republicans to
now be toled off into side parties and
weaned away from the support of the
political organization to which their
convictions attach them is IN do in

How Horses Arc Made Bllna.

The pupil of horses eye is enlarged
by being kept in dark stable; he has u
harness put on him and is suddenly
brought out in the glazing sunlight,
which contracts hepupil sosuddenly as
to cause extreme pain. BY persevering
in this very foolish and injudicious as
well as cruel practice the nerve of the
eye becomes impaired, and if continued
long enough loss of sight will ensue.
TO see how painful it is to face bright
light after having been in the dark,
take walk some dark night for short
time till the eyes become used to the
darkness, then drop suddenly into some
well-lighted room, and you will scarce
~ be able to see for few moments in
the sudden light. You know how pain
full it is yourself, then why have your
horses to repeatedly bear such unneces-
sary pain?--Colman's Rural World.

Or 70 cents per heh. twill be seen by
these figures that wheat, kerosene and
bone meal were used literally, while
corn and Indian meal were used moder-
ately. When you figure that hen costs
you rs cents year you may safely say
THAI she will lay in eggs twice what she
eats. Most any hen, with good care and
management, will average $50 eggs q
year, and it is very poor hen indeed
that will not lay rs eggs in year. In
approximating the value of eggs we are
apt to treat them too much from the
market standpoint. One hundred and
fifty eggs-fresh laid hen eggs-are
worth is5 "store" eggs, for the differ
ence is easily made up in the added and
packed eggs we get from the store
three-fourths of the year. Fresh eggs
in city like Kansas City are a treat
that our country friends do not fully
appreciate.
A word about the disposition to COM
plain when hens do not lay web, espe-
cially in winter. 1t may be your fault,
and it may be the hens fault. Have
patience; you cannot judge a hen by
one week or one month, and if you
doubt her ability to pay for her keep
ing start an account, charging her with
oil she eats and crediting her with all
she Produces If you do this you will
! find that there is scarcely hen in your
yard that in a years time cannot have
the balance on her side of the account.

of poor laying individual hen which
was as follows: Started to laying
March 10; commenced to moult and
quit laying September rs; broken up
from setting seven times; eggs pro-
duced, 3d. This shows that poor layer,
persistent setter, and hen that never
laid at all from September 2S to the
following spring laid 100 eggs; or, at
my figures for keeping hen, gave 26

Contrasts In Dress.

Bodices in diametrical contrast to
dress skirts promise to be feature Of
the seasons fashions. 1t is not always
easy, however, to give combination
of this sort the air of harmony SO nee
essary to a strictly artistic costume. A
gown in which this was accomplished
successfully, however, had skirt of a
peculiar and lovely shade of green
satin. The bodice was of deep mauve
miroir velvet, arranged in folds across
the bust, and which in the center were
caught MP with knots of chiffon and
marten-tail fur,and completed by big
bunch of purple pansies. The waist
was beautifully fitted into narrow
band and finished with two enormous
paste buttons. The sleeves were both
striking and novel, appearing as sort
of double frill, intermingling skillful-
ly and softly with chiffon and fur.
Another gown in contrast had skirt
of mauve poplin embroidered with
white. The bodice was of bright blue
velvet, trimmed with white passe-
menterie, and spangled here and there
with gold acquins. The sleeves were
of maize colored shot chiffon. st.

Getting Into sorapes.

Many years ago the wild deer that
roamed through the forests of Eng
land used to dig holes in the earth
with their fore feet. They paved 1t
out sometimes to the depth Of several
inches, sometimes foot or more.
These holes were called "scrapes" and
travellers at dusk or night or those
who were careless about their footing,
tumbied into them. They were
laughed at for their heedlessness when
they come home covered with mud and
as this frequently occurred after they
had been imbibing a bit they were
said to have gotten into scrape."

expression and thus it came to be APP

The Preservation Of Carrots.

The carrot does not keep well, except
in cool weather, and even in winter
more care is requisite than with either
the rutabaga or beet. 1t is, therefore,
well to so adjust the consumption Of

The narrow trench method of storing
meets for winter use is ernphatically
the one for this root, above all others;
do not trust them in cellar, even
though II be cool, nor in mounds piled
two or three feet high, as was, and is
still, practiced. The methodical farm
