There are other issues of

THAT black list of Republi

city politicians, is long one, and
as time goes on is likely to prove
very cumbersome piece cf proper

1t is truly sad to think the
Democrats are so factionized and
divided that they find less salts
faction in the Chicago dispatches
this week than they dlscovcrd in
the st. Louis reports.
Governor Altgeld could not
altogether trust Governor Stone in

a Chicago dispatch, dated
just before the opening of the big
jamboree, sported the headline,
"Silver Leaders are Uneasy"
This seemed a touch of the eternal

The death of Mrs. Stowe

chance for a few new opinions of

Lord Salisbury is rather
more in favor of treaty of arhi

Pittsburg, June 13.-With the disband-

Postman Company John L. Sullivan says
farewell to the stage. For the last six
months the ex-champion has penetrated
into every section of the country, a por-
ton of each performance consisting in a
three-rOund bout with Paddy Ryan after
the falling Of the curtain on the play
proper. Five nights out Of six, however,
The ex-champion of tho world has been so
much under the influence Of the ardent
that the bout has been little more than a
farce, calculated to bring out groans,
Kisses and irOnical CALCULATIONS from the
audience rather than applause. Between
high eating, high drinking and lack of
exercise, the big man" has taken on
flesh to such an extent that he now finds
it necessary TO quit even an apology for
boxing. What he will now do for a living
he does not know hime,f, nor do any Of his
erstWhile associates. Financially as well
as physically he is dead broke" There
has been some talk of setting him up in
the saloon business IN Chicago, but so far
IL has not taken on any definite shape.
Paddy Ryan it Is said, to the contrary, has
been frugal to the extreme for some years
and there is no immediate prospect that
the wolf will be browsing at his door.

prices on leading makes of bleached cot
tons, in which reductions We're made of

4 Young Man From Texas Inter-
views Foraker of Ohio.

From the New York Tribune.
St. Louis, June 1L-Senator-elect Fora
ker says that what has most impressed
him since his arrival IN ST. Louis is the
reporter who climbed on his special car at
the relay yesterday. Mr. Foraker had
arisen early ana was out on the car plat
form to see the tornado's path. This is
MS account Of what passed between him
can YOU tell me which is Mr.. Fora
kerr carr the latter began.
This is Mr. Foraker's car" was the po-
Where is Mr.. Foraker, please?"
My name Is Foraker"
THANK you. Mr.. Foraker, when did you
II am not from Chicago; I am from
"Oh, yes. Thank you. Please tell me whom
you nave in your party"
Charles Emory Smith is with us Also
Murat Halstead and several other gentle
men,
'Who is Mr.. Smith. please? Has he ever
held any conspicuous posltion?"
y es, Mr.. Smith was minister to Russia
under President Harrison"
And Mr.. Halstead2'
Hes "A blacksmith"
The fact was the senator al this point
began 20 suspect that his visitor was a
humorist. but the information about Mr.
Ha!stead was taken seriously and the IN
terVieW proceeded
rs there any one else with you. Mr.. Fo-
raker?"
Yes. Gov Buchne1."
"Ah, thank you. Alr. Foraker, do you
think Gov. Bushnell will be pressed by
your delegation for the vice presidential
nomination."
1t was at this point that the senator
turned questioner.
My young friend" he said, "who will
be nominated for president al ST. Louis?'
Mckinley" was the reply.
That's right. Now, IN what state does
Mr. Mckinley llve?"
ohio"
Right again. In what state does Gov.
Bushnell liye?"
Ohio"
well. then, do you think the ticket like
ly to be Mckinley and Bushnell?"
Mr.. Foraker, excuse me. The fact IL
] am recently from Texas, and l don't
know"
The senator arrived at the union sta
ton without any recollection Of having
seen the tornado's path, but the memo
~ Of that reporter fingered with him all
day. He talked to Mr.. Hanna about the
incident. He also asked Mr.. Depew II he
could match the experience. The great
est interview of his life was still on Sem
ator Foraker's mind when he went to bed
last night and when he got up this mo.n-
ing.
A story is told on Senator Quay which
may be true and may not 1t is charac-
teristfc, nevertheless. II is TO the effect
that at dinner on Saturday the waiter
asked the statesman whether he took SUI

RETURN HIM TO CONGRESS.
Many Potent Reasons Why Grove l.
Johnson Should be REFLECTED.

(From the Nevada City Transcript
The Sacramento "Record-Union" says
with truth that there are five reasons
why Grove l.. Johnson should be re-
elected to Congress which address
themselves to all the people of all the
district, namely: First-He has been
a faithful and impartial representative
of his constituency, discriminating
against no section Of the district.
Second-He has advanced into the
light Of coming success the claims of
California against the Federal Govern
ment for nearly S4,00O,OO0, which. when
covered into the State Treasury, will
amount practically to a gift of relief to
the taxpayers. For more than quar-
ter of century our congressman have
wrestled with this claim fruitlessly.
1t remained for Congressman Johnson
to devise and start to success a plan Of
getting the money; a plan that has al
ready received the approval Of that de-
partment Of the Government that has
heretofore proved the insurmountable
obstacle in the path of success. Third
He has not been a radical ON anything.
He has been conservative, cool, fearless
and bold, but not sensational. He has
fearlesSly advocated and voted for such
policies as he believed good business
serse, sincere patriotism and good con-
science dictated. On every measure he
has occupied precisely such stand
points. Fourth-He is the first to ad-
vance practical measure for checking
the incoming of undesirable immigra-
ton. Fifth-He is the first Congress
man from California to break the ice"
that almost freezes over the first
termer" and renders him unimportant
in the deliberations Of the House.
To the above might be added another
reason that should have special force
In Nevada County: Mr.. Johnson has
been loyal to his pledge to stand by
the mining industry. He worked with
unabated zeal for the S250,0O0 appro-
priation for the building Of restraining
dams, and he also introduced and help
push the mineral lands bill. That the
latter did not become a law was no
fault of his These things he did at the
risk Of mourning unpopular1ty in the
other sections Of his district, but hav-
ing pledged himself to stand by the
miners. he did so with vim.
Add to all Of the above the fact that
by his intelligence and force he has at
tained to position of influence in
Congressional circles, and we find in
Mr.. Johnson elements Of worth not
pc ssessed by his opponent OF by any
other candidate who has ever run for
Congress in the Second District. He
ought to be and will be returned to
the position he has graced by his ex-
ceptional abilities.
