RIGHTS OF EMPLOYER AND EN-
PL0YE.

Bryan newspapers and speakers are try
ing very hard to make it appear that when
q railway official or manager of an in.
dustrial enterprise advises with his en-
ployes concerning the issues of the Presi-
Dental campaign he is coercing them into
declaring for Major Mckinley. II these
charges can be substantiated it is the duty
of the Bryanites to submit the proofs; but
if they cannot and have no reason for
making them other than a desire to in
fuence public opinion against railway
corporations and industrial companies TOR
purely political advantage they are rank
enemies of the country. The candidate
who would himself or permit others to
purposely make wrong statements con-
corning the relation existing between thos /,
who sell their labor and those who buy it,
for the purpose OF gaining political ad-
vantage, is not only traitor to his coun-
try. but he is q sneaking coward.
More than "a, 100000 of the inhabitants
of the United States are in business, either
as employers or employees, ana nearly, ii
not quite, 100000 of them are legal
voters; moreover, gainful occupation is
necessary to every one OF them. There is
scarcely line of business known to COM
merce that IS not represented in our traoe
and traffic operations. and SO intimately
connected are they that not one of them
could be injured without the shock being
felt in the homes Of every one Of the "a

divided the prospect OF defeat has made
its local organ desperate. 1t makes wild
statements every day and does all in its
power, which is little, to throw doubt and
confusion into the minds of honest voters.
Amid contending factions, ambitious
bosses, elashing clans and divided councils
the honest and patriotic Democrat, who,
like his Republican neighbor, desires pure
politics and economical local government,
is asking where he Will take his stand.
=. The logical place of such citizen is
with the honest and untrammeled Colonel
Charles L. Taylor. He has been strongly
tried; his record is am open book upon
whose pages there is neither blot nor
stain; he represents freedom from boss
rule, decent and economical government.
1t is pitiful to see the Democratic organ
that few months ago pretended to cham
pion the cause of the people thus give aid
and comfort to political highwaymen who
roam the City bent on mischief and pub
lie plunder. Thus divided and torn within
its own camp the Democratic organ seeks
to cause confusion in the Republi-
can ranks. To that end, reprehen-
sible as it is and incredible as il
may seem, the E1dminer is seeking by
every art of misrepresentation to put
the City in the grasp of band of corrupt
politicians as shameless as any that ever
infested San Francisco. The good people
of this City will not be deceived. They
will entrust the mayoralty to tried and
true Colonel Taylor. They will not suffer
their affairs to be turned over to either of
the political worthless, Rainey and Buck

NOTHING TO EAT.

1t was fortunate for Solomon that he
lived in an age when he could say, "a
man hath no better thing under the sun
than 10 eat, and to drink, and to be
merry" Had he lived in this age of med
dlesome scientists there is no telling what
would have become of his appetite for
good things. A school of science in Penn
sylvania, an annex of the Western Uni
versity of that State, gravely announces
that one should not drink "city water" F"
because it swarms with disease microbes
and as for country water, why, 1.-The moss
covered bucket" is where they come into
life and lay plans to spread typhoid and
other fevers through the water reservoirs
of the towns. Ice put in water is the dis
ease GERMS delight. He multiplies by the
million in ice water.
These scientists, one would think, would
suggest wine as substitute for water, but
they do nothing of the kind. They say
nearly all wine is doctored and burns out
the lining of the stomach, and that the
same is true OF whisky and beer. although
they admit that good, pure article OF
wine, beer and whisky is not very risky.
They admit that some may find joy in a
dead drunk that is superinduced by doc
tored liquors, but thar the Joy obtained
from life of soberness is better.
But these WISE men do not stop Al
drinks. They say tomatoes, raw or cooked
a re the undertakers' delight; potatoes are
pois and indigestible; cabbage i!
another name for cholera, and lettuce i!
of the same family; beans are very bac
for the stomach; turnips are no better
than sawdust. One might as we'll tax,
rough-on-rats as to eat onions or cucum
bers. White bread is dreadfully bad for th,
stomach, and corn bread is too 'forcetup
for the inside CT man, while buckwhea
cakes, fannel-cakes and all such thing
are regular grave-openers. Cherries
grapes ana watermelons are angels O
death in disguise.
As for meat all kinds are unwholesome
besides, it is wicked to take life to satisf,
our appetites, and retribution will surel,
overtake all who slay and eat. The frying
pan, these scientists say, is an enemy O
civilization, and they say very many othe
things, too, but since it is death to ca
meat or vegetables, there does not ap
pear to be much use for cooking utensils
1t must be that these Pennsylvania wis
men are about to patent new kind o
food, or that they arrived at their conclu
sions after attending a banquet

THE DIVIDED DEMOCRACY.

The condition of the Democratic party
in the City of San Francisco is deplorable.
No patriotic follower OF the faith of De-
mocracy, and there are thousands of such,
can view the situation without deep re-
gret that his party has. fallen into the
hands of corrupt machine politicians.
Democracy in this City is torn and rent
asunder, but each of the warning factions
the Junta and the old line Democrats-is
under the absolute domination and iron
control of two of the most notorious
bosses that ever disgraced the history or
debauched the politics of San Francisco.
On one hard the Democratic Moses is
Sam Rainey, the notorious manipulation OF
the Fire Department and one time doer OF
dirty work for Buckley, the ''blind devil''
OF the BourboDs. Opposed to this immac-
ulate politician, from whom lovers of pure
politics turn in disgust, is the notorious
Chris Buckley himself, whose career in
local politics once made this City noted
the world over as the perfect type of pollt-
ical degeneration, man who had TO flee
the City to evade the avenging wrath OF
the people as expressed by their Grand
Jury.
It is significant sign and indicative OF
its lack OF political integrity that the Err
amin er is silent as to the character of the
two worthless who are now in charge of
local Democratic politics. But a few
months ago the Examiuer was declaring
that these men were unfit to be entrusted
with public affairs and 1t portrayed Buck
ley as wretch fit only for the peni-
tentiary, chronicling each day his flight
from the jurisdiction of the courts and
showing how he hid In Europe to outwit
the Sheriffs who had warrants for his ar
rest.
Though the Democracy is hopelessly

ooO,00o. Therefore, the man who willfully
eripples the efficiency OF any one line OF
occupation is not only destroyer OF
homes, but he is an assassin OF whole COM
munities, and more dangerous enemy OF
mankind than pestilence or famine.
No wrong is done, no line of trade is in
iured when the employer of men tells them
what the effect the election OF this or that
man would have upon his business enter
prise, but tue employer only does his duty
TO his employees when he tells them what
they may expect under given circum-
stances. 1t is the right of employees to
know as far iE advance as possible what
influence certain possible contingencies
are likely to, exert upon their opportunity
to earn wages and it is equally incumbent
upon employees to aequsint their employer
with what their action would be under
given conditions, but while holding it to
be the right but not the duty of employees
to give notice of their purpose, the Bryan
ties deny that the employer has any such
right, and they also deny his right to
refuse to make his plans and operations
be thrust upon him.
Di5 nh says IL means COerclOu WueH al
employer of men says the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver ind ependent of the
Will and good of the nations he has busi-
ness relations with would so circumscribe
his market that he would have to reduce
his output and consequently would require
fewer operators. but common justice says
it wonld be an act of kindness, and his
duty as well, to give his employees notice
OF what certain contingencies would have
in store for them.
1t is the privilege of employees to do as
they please. They may vote for policy
that would deprive their employer of suffi-
cient opportunity TO sell his product to
keep them employed, or they may vote to
sustain him. 1t is their right to do either.
The presumption is that every sensible
man would vote for policy that was call
culated to insure him continuous employ
ment at good wages, but he does not have
to, nor does his employer have to supply
hlm with work if policy has been adopted
that destroys his ability to give him work.
