tivate contempt for the courts. to bring
them into disrepute and kindle the
restless and anarchistic spirit against
them is undeniably manifest in the
course of San Francisco sensational
and red-fire journalism. These sheets
allow no opportunity to escape them to
assail the integrity of the courts or to
ridicule and misrepresent them. In
stances in support of the fact are as
thick in our memory as roses in May.
The Tulare Register thus intro
duces an article rebuking certain ca
lamity winners, because the rains are
not SO frequent as they might be in the
San Joaquin Valley and because the
Almighty does not interfere to change
natural laws to their liking:
The Populists have taught us tC
whine. Before the advent of that party
people met disaster with some degree
of heroism, but now every untoward
event makes the blues as prevalent as
la grippe used to be and the sound of
whining is never still in the land Whin-
ing has got to be a habit with the people
We fear that there is a good deal of
truth in that. But it is not creditable
to the intelligence of a people to say
that they have been taught to whine.
The whine is really the cry of the
envious, incompetent and unfit, who
make themselves heard only when the
wheels of evolution move and the law
is manifest that reads "to all whoever
deserves there shall come reward"
Carrying concealed weapons is a
presence Of a weapon is very often the
cause of murder. The idea that a man
must carry a revolver in order to be
safe is a fallacy. The sentiment of the
people is strongly against the carrying
of concealed weapons" says the Chico
Chronicle Not so. If the
sentiment of the people disapproved the
law would be enforced. A dead letter
law invariably indicates the desire and
mandate Of the people that it shall not
be carried into execution. Nor do we
agree with the statement of our re-
spected contemporary that the idea that
a man must carry revolver to be safe
is a fallacy. On the contrary having a
weapon on the person is very often the
only protection the decent man has from
the bully and criminal. The roughs and
toughs, the garroters, the thugs and
bullies, always go armed, and they
nearly always assault the man who is
unarmed. But hundreds and thousands
Of men not blessed with strong and
vigorous physical powers, but having
plenty Of grit and courage to stand for
their rights are placed on physical
equality with the ruffians only by rea-
son of the arms they carry. And the
bully knows it, and usually steers clear
of such men, whom otherwise they
would hammer into lifeless pulp

Says the Alameda "Encinal::"

There is a bill before the Ohio Legis-
iature which, if it becomes a law, will
do away with the habit of treating at
the bar of a liquor establishment. This
Is a peculiar thing to attempt TO legis-
late on, and it Is doubtful IL any law
could be passed in Ohio or any other
State on the subject that would hold
water.
All such laws will become dead let
ters. The good sense of the people will
not permit them to have vitality be-
yond the day and hour Of their passage
Regulation of the liquor traffic is one
thing, and attempting to regulate the
habits of life by legislative enactment
is another thing. 1t is just such silly
and witless things as the Ohio law that
bring Legislatures and professional re-
formers into contempt among self-re-
specting people.

KANSAS CITY, Dot. IA special from

forwarded papers to Topeka notifying tho

inee for vice president from the head of
the Populist ticket. The necessary ailida-
Wit, in due form, which authorizes the
withdrawal from that ticket, accompanied
the other papers This is the first step
taken by Mr.. Watson since his recent visit
to Kansas to thwart the efforts of tho fu-
sion entered into there with the Dem
ocrats. Whom Mr.. Watson determined M
on this plan, he wired to the middle Of the
road Populist committee of Kansas for
information as to how he should proceed
under the Kansas election laws to hnve
his name withdrawn. Re received full in
structions by wire, together with the form
of affidavit necessary, and upon the receipt
of tho same filed out the papers, drew up
the affidavit, swore to It before a notary
public and sent them by registered letter
to the secretary Of state at Topeka to be
filed. The withdrawal OF Mr.. Watson's
name will leave the fusionists in a dilem-
ma. They will eithor have Go insert tho
name of Sewall the Democratic nominee,
