DEMOCRACY, OLD AND NEW.

In olden days, by Newport's sea,
The unuerrified Democracy
A rally held to speed their cause.
A faithful one in all their laws,
Desiring more than common fudge,
Wrote for a speech to Redfield Judge,
With patriotic fervor in his soul,
He wound up thus to reach his goal,
"Be sure to come that we may gain
A meeting FULL" in language plain,
Of deepest dye, in naught cratic,
His spelling even was Democratic.
Regardless of all other school,
He wrote it thus -'sf o-o-P-full!
They're always full! Fool meetings
they
Have only held since Douglass day,
With record dark, which they increase,
Such must they hold till time shall
cease. ST.
And they can croak as we'll as spell,
They croak on earth and will in
(wellD
Loudly they croaked at Lincoln's
name,
His matchless work, his deathless
fame.
They croaked at freedom for the
slave;
Full well they knew it was their grave,
They croaked and croaked at Recon
struction, a4 .aa4-
They'd even 7croak at reproduction.
They croaked again at safe Resump-
ton, 9e
In this they might have had more
gumption.
They croaked at silver, croaked at
gold,
And croaked at greebacks new and
old,
They always croak at sound protec-
ton,
All progress,to at each election,
And even when they gain the day.
They louder crossk, and we'll they
may,
Principles, deeds, platforms, speeches,
All told in this, Bull frogs in breeches!
Adopts in every strange contortion,
They now produce free trade abor
ton,
They go as far and wade as deep
AS Randolph John TO kick a sheep.
In slavish fear of projections evil,
They'd send the country to the devil.
Cast, in their suit on the income bill,
They wait-and watch their tariff
mill;
And when they see the income drizzle,
They curse the Court and let it sizzle!
Hear We that wizard of the East,
Of earth's great statesmen not the
least.
" America has wondrous skill,
With matchless growth of mart and
mill,
Of prosperous homes and fertile
farms,
By magic sprung since wars alarms,
Protection gave this mighty fame,
And Germany must have the same"
Put Bismark's judgment, Bismark's
brain,
In scale the one, the balance gain
With Bryan, Sewell, Wilson, Mills
And German with their tinkered bills,
And up they go, SO fast and far,
In dizzy fight beyond star,
That when they land you will remem
The place Salt Creek, the time-No
vember!
On tariff now they're mighty glum,
They can't enthuse with strongest
rum,
But this campaign they're bound to
run,
So in they go sixteen to one!
Sixteen to one, away they go
To China and to Mexico.
For all the myriad human ills,
Quack medicines abound and pills,
high DER dale and hill,
With wondrous cures, but sure to kill.
Barnum renowned, of Snowman fame.
Amassed fortune at this game;
For he had learned in life we'll
schooled,
1t pleased the people to be fooled.
Democracy's humbug show,
And at the business they're not slow.
But in this land of liberty,
Where all alike are truly free,
Whoever seeks to array the masses.
In strife against all other classes,
To infiame their hate by truth or lie,
Is a demagogue of deepest dye.

He Sings Several Songs and Greets
Ugo Talbot-Many Prominent
Persons Present.

Signor A. ]. Foil, the great opera-singer
of London, who is known over the world
as probably the greatest basso of his time,
was given an informal reception at the
Press Club last night. The signor re-
mained two hours and half. There was
large attendance, and the evening was
signally enjoyable one. The signor told
stories for time, giving strange expert
ences on the operate stage in different
countries.
Among those present were: Barclay
Henley, Otto Dobbertin, the sculptor,
Superior Jud ge Sanderson, James Hamil-
ton, Ugo Talbot and other notable peo-
pie, members of the club and invited
guests
Mr.. Talbot formerly sang in Europe in
the same opera company with Signor Fob.
He had not met him for seventeen years,
when he said good-by to him in London.
1t was an occasion for rejoicing. and they
reconnted such "reminiscences as the time
would permit.
Signor Foil was Prevailed on to sing.
He had just come from dinner, and said
he did not feel in voice. Moreover, he
said he had made 1t a rule OF his life never
to sing where there was smoke, and there
was good deal of smoke in the rooms.
by, the Duke OF Edinburgh once
asked me to sing at smoker" he said,
''and | refused him. 1t was a rule / felt
that l must stick to-"
Nevertheless the signor at length made
an exception OF it. He sang the "Beiouin
Love Song" receiving many enccres.
Among the songs were "Over the Hills
Wher the Sun is Low" and applause deep
and prolonged greeted him.
Then Ugo Talbot sang, at the request
~ he a., nd Nth

repeatedly applauded- r. Fletcher Til
ton of the Press Club Quartet was the ac-
com panist on the piano for both singers

NAL, was very enjoyable to all present.

APOTHECARIES IN UNITY
Annual Meeting Of the Califor-
MIA College of Phar-
macy.
To Inculcate Spirit of Good Fellow.
ship Among Its Members Its
Object.

The annual convocation of the Califor-
MIA Pharmaceutical Society held its meet
ing at 1l3 Fulton street yesterday, with
the following officers: S. 0berdeener, pres
ident; 6. E. Bacon, first vice. president;
E. a. Bagot, second e-president; G. ].
Harvey, secretary, and c. A. Bayly, treas
urer.
In addition to the regular members of
the society q general invitation had been
extended to all chemists who choose to at
tend. This had the effect Of gathering to
the meeting quite large assembly of the
representative men engaged in the drug
business.
In consequence of the action taken at the
last annual meeting one year ago, whereby
the present officers were elected for a
period of eighteen months instead of the
customary one year, there was little i'm
portant busi ness transacted other than a
general discussion over the trade theme
and the best way to protect the individ-
uals who conduct small as well as large
stores against capital encroachments on
the part OF persons engaged in the busi-
ness who have cut prices, with no other
object in view than to injure their less
fortunate rivals who have to struggle
against dull times and active competition
The object of the College of Pharmacy
as set out in the constitution clearly de-
fines what the society is organized for.
1t is:
We regard the profession of pharma acy as one
that demands knowledge, skill and integrity
on the part of those engaged, in it. We desire
to see high standard of qualification main
tanned among us, and believe that this can
best be secured by the free communication of
such knowledge as each possesses, by associat-
ing together for mutual improvement in our
art and by frequent conferences on matters
pertaining thereto. We deem it eminently de.
sirable that fraternal feeling should always
be manifested between our members, and that
the most cordial relations should exist be-
tween the medical profession and ourselves
To confer together at stated periods for
general supervision of the drug business for
social and scientific culture, and for the pro
motion OF harmony and friendliness among
the members.
To stimulate the younger members and ap-
prentlces to proper course of study, by Civ
ing instructions by a series of lectures and
practical demonstrations.
This, if fully carried out by ali who are
engaged in the apothecary business would,
1T is claimed by the members of the college,
elevate the profession and be the means OF
securing fair and legitimate line of busi-
ness with the public.

told me that Fitzgerald is one OF the most
frequent visitors to the Mint.
AT recent meeting OF the County
committee Fitzgerald undertook TO pre-
vent my election as a delegate s-large.
Certainly that does not look as II he were

others that precede it. Whether having
lost his memory or whether OF the kinder
garten nature OF politicians, he certainly
does not know enough to tell the truth.
'FitZgerald's remarks do not surprise
me. said Frank j. Moffitt tonight.
Their comparison with the truth Is about
the same as other statements Fitzgerald
has made in the past. l am not candi-
date and want nothing except the triumph
of Mr.. Foote. 1 am working for him be-
cause l know how thoroughly Daggetts
employees are hustling in this county. This
hight is twelve years old, and but for the
help of Daggett at this time Fitzgerald
would probably withdraw. All these sub
terfuges, such as the inuendo that 1t Is
fight between me and Fitzgerald, is too
gauzy to deceive anybody and does not,
but 1t shows the desperation into which
their weakness has driven them.
1.-The struggle is between Foote and Dag
gett. Mr.. Foote is backed by the COM
munity and Daggett of Siskiyou by his
lifetime ally, the railroad. If Senator
Stanford had not rescued the Siskiyou
miner from his political disgrace he would
never again have been heard from. Out
of regard for the power that saved him he
is now and has been since his resurrection
trying to show his gratitude by attempting
the defeat OF the railroads old-time enemy,
