v HEN Mr.. Sherman, in charge of the
w Indian appropriation bill, sought 10
assign an hours time TO Mr.. Little,
he said that he yielded an hour to
the gentleman from Arkansas. Then hc
smiled and added. "or Arkansaw." The
chair caused several members TO laugh by
promptly taking the latter view of the pro-
nounciatton, and saying: The gentleman
from Arkansaw.'
This seeming duality of expression re-
called the old story of the Vice President
who never failed 10 make the proper dis
unction in recognizing one Senator as from
Arkansas and the other from Arkansaw,
according TO the pronunciation each gave
the name OF the State.

George Washington.

1t cannot be truthfully asserted that The
patriotic feeling. There is little doubt
that as a whole our people will give not
only treasure but blood and life TO defend
the heritage of the fathers. They have
done SO within the memory OF the living;
they viii do 80 again, if occasion should
demand But there is not that conscien-
tieus care that every act should promote
the national welfare, and that no act should
retard it or mar the nations good name,
which Washington practiced in so conspicu-
Gus manner. 1t shines forth in every
one Of his speeches, and, better yet, those
speeches, those sentiments, We're crystal
lized in his actions. He measured his
works not by their Immediate consequences,
but by the effect they would have upon the
future; not his own, but of his people and
ofhis country. tbs this absorbing patriot
ism, this complete self-abnegation, which
should bc studied and initiated by ali our
citizens, and especially those in public life.
Too little attention is paid, il is TO DE
feared, TO the lives of men like Washington
and Franklin and jefferson; men who COM

not once. but niany times, and demonstrated
by charts and plans, by facts and figures.
Better proof than all else, however, has
been the criminal record OF The city for
the past few months, the innumerable
thefts and burglarics. and the outbursts of
rowdyism in almost every section. Neither
person nor property has been safe, and
the most prominent thoroughfares have wit
messed the most daring violations of the
law.
Members OF Congress have convinced
themselves in person of the insufficieucy
of our police protection. Many OF them
have valuable property interests here and
for good part of the year are residents
OF the city. They suffer proportfnnately
no less than do those who dwell here all
the time, and, for that matter, their
persons are no safer from the onslaught
OF the thugs and high hway ymen. They ought

Bourke Cochran, the distinguished
orator and jurist of New York, and not
less skilled politician, has expressed
grave concern about the pending cam
paign, and is inclined to look upon its
issues as involving as much as did
those of 1860. Whether Mr. Cochran is
an alarmist, or whether he is merely
solicitous as a politician to work the
defeat of the Chicago ticket, his earnest
words and emphatic expression ad-
dressed to Democrats will have a de-
cided influence, for he is a man whose
position, ability and learning, as we'll
as his political experience and unques-
toned patriotism, command the re-
spect Of all, and especially of the men
Of his party, in which he has long been
q shining light. Mr. Cochran advises
that the dissatisfied Democrats vote for
Governor Mckinley without abating at
all their opposition to Republican prin-
ciples. In this he follows the line of
expression found in the open letter of
President Andrew D. White, the dis
tinguished historical scholar and pub
licist.

THERE WILL Be A PRIMARY.
So Decided the Republican Committee
Last Night.
A Full County Ticket Will be Named
by the Convention on Mon
day Next.

The Republican County Central Com
mittee met last night in the Super
visors' room to make the necessary ar
rangements for the calling of County
Convention to select delegates to the
Second Congressional District Conven-
ton. There were present George h.
Clark (Chairman), Robert M. Richard
son (Secretary), William N. Lamphrey,
George K. Rider, George c. McMullen,
George Eagan, w. H. Govan, Frank
Daroux, Phil Reihl of Freeport, and
Richard j. Murphy Of Folsom. Absent,
George Kelly.
Secretary Richardson read the call
for the District Convention, to be held
on Wednesday, the 18th of this month,
in the State Capitol building. Sacra-
mento is entitled to twenty-five dele
gates to the convention.
The question then arose as to whether
the delegates to the County Convention
should be appointed or chosen at a
primary election.
Phil Reihl Of Freeport moved that the
| delegates be appointed, which was OPP
posed by William Lamphrey. The latter
thought more general satisfaction
would be given by holding primary.
George K. Rider supported ReihPs
| motion, but it was lost by large ma
| jority.
McMullen then moved that the COM
mittee sit with closed doors.
| This precipitated something of a
| breeze. Rider was first on his feet and
declared his opposition to an executive
| meeting. He wanted everything done
| openly. He was Republican and had
| nothing to be ashamed Of.
Frank Daroux also wanted an open
| meeting. There was no collar on him,
| and he wanted the committee to do its
work openly.
George Eagan retorted that nobody
| owned him, either, and as to collars,
| there were none on him.
| Rider again favored an open meet
| ing but said he would abide by what
ever the committee saw fit to do in the
| matter.
The roll was called and McMullen' S
| motion was carried-six to three.
Daroux then moved that the press re-
porters be allowed to remain.
| McMullen claimed he was out of or
| der, but Chairman Clark held that the
motion was in order. McMullen's mo-
| ton was in force, however, and all out
siders would be required to leave while
Daroux' motion was voted on.
| The crowd, including the reporters,
then filed out, and after few minutes
| Committeeman Eagah opened the door
and informed the waiting scribes that
| their presence had been dispensed with.
The result of the meeting will be
found in the call for the primary cleo
tion and County Convention that ap-
pears in another column.
The committee has ordered a pri-
mary election to be held throughout the
county on Saturday afternoon next, to
choose delegates to County Conven-
| ton, to be held next Monday after
noon, at which a full set Of candidates
for county officers will be nominated,
| also delegates to the Congressional
| Convention.
The meeting passed off harmoniously
| after the little showing Of spirit at the
| start.

desperate robber who would not
hesitate to take human life to effect his
ends, was the other day sent to the
State prison from this city for a term
OF thirty years. The sentence Is eyery-
where applauded, for the man is a bad
character. He had been trusted and
considered fairly good citizen until
the vigilance of the police uncovered
his real character. He is a desperate
fellow and as cowardly a rascal, too,
as ever lived. when once confronted
with his deeds. But under the law of
the State giving credits to convicts,
this man will have more than eleven
years knocked off of his term, and in
stead of serving thirty years will be
imprisoned eighteen years and ten
months, If he behaves himself. That
will turn the fellow out at the age of

Gable dispatches yesterday state that
experiments have so far progressed in
Europe with the Roentgen, or x ray,
that surgeons and physicians have now
accepted the ray as a means of dag
nosis in cases where it is desirable to
examine the internal organs of the hu-
man body. In Berlin, we are told, the
process has been so far applied that a
hospital and laboratory devoted exclu-
sively to such uses has been fitted up
and are in regular use. A Crooke' S
tube and a screen smeared with barium
cyanide are used. In the wall Of an
absolutely dark room an aperature is
cut about the size Of mans body.
This aperture is covered with black
pasteboard. The patient stands out
side Of the room and against this paste
board screen. Each of the examiners,
armed with barium screen used as
one would use a reading glass, stand
within the darkened room. Before this
screen and the patients body the
Crookes tube is placed so that the
patient stands between the examiners
and the tube. The current is turned
on the tube and the examiners proceed
to look through the body by the aid
of their barium glass. The skeleton is
thus sharply outlined to them, and the
organs of the internal economy some
what dimly. but sufficiently to be easily
recognized. If 1t is desirable to exam
inc one spot particularly, the rays are
concentrated on that place and sharper
and better results are obtained. 1t is
added that in the opinion of Professor
Buka, we are as yet but at the begin
ming Of the uses of the x ray, or, as he
puts it, 1--WE are working with tallow
candles instead of electric lights,
meaning to convey the idea that pres
emily we shall have such strong x rays
as to be able to see with perfect clear
ness any internal organ, and examine it
with ease and certainty.
