ILLICIT OPIUM.
Deputy Revenue Collector La Grave
Makes q CaDture

Makes a Capture.
c. T. La Grave, a deputy in Revenue
Collector Stairley's office, returned from
Colusa County yesterday, whittier he
went in search of parties who were de-
f1auding the Government.
His trip was a successful one. At
Arbuckle he uncovered a quantity of
unstamped cigars and opium that some
Chinese had buried beneath a big ma
nure-heap. He also visited College
City and made a capture of unstamped
opium there.
The guilty parties were turned over
to the tender mercy of the local authori-
ties, and the contraband stuff was con-
fiscated in the name of the Government.

wisdom from the campaign through
which we have just passed and realize
that it has no mortgage upon place
or the country, and that it will be held
to a stricter accountability than at any
time it exercised power since the war.
The outlook for helpful and wise legis-

Well, Of course, we are all for hav-

ticularly about silver-The best way
would be for the Government just to
print enough greenbacks for every one
to have enough.
How about women in politics?'
Women have tongues. and they
ought to go into politics. Men have
their business to attend to- and the
women ought to do the stump speak

We favor that. The Government

Certainly. The East would be ben

foreigners out Of the country, refusing
to allow any Catholics to own any
property, but as to cranks-I have lived
In Kansas twenty years and never met
a crank who was a resident of the
State, and this criticism should be
stopped. Newspapers are too free,
anyway. and we will never have peace
until the Government appoints men to
read everything before it is printed

such tricks may be done purposely,
with the idea of having certain ballots
cast out. But this was not probably
the case In the instance referred to, be-.
cause very large number Of ballots
We're treated in that way in a single pre-
cinct
But this Is not all. In some precincts,
indeed in many throughout the State,
the clerks and Judges We're six, seven
and ten hours counting the ballots that
should be Tailed up, sealed and re-
turned inside Of three hours. One pre-
cinct in this city, with less than 27O bal
lots counted over ten hours, or only
ten and fraction of ballots to the
hour. That precinct should have been
finished in five hours had experienced
men been employed.
The ascertaining of the will of the peo-
pie from their ballots ought to engage
the most expert clerical skill, and the
inspectors and judges should be men
accustomed to business methods, to
close thought and rapid and exact work.
It would pay the people to employ as
election officials expert men, exact and
business men for these purposes. They
would gain in speed, in eXactness, the
avoidance Of mistakes, and in having
returns sent up in such shape that
there would be no ambiguity concerning
them.
AS it Is now men are frequently put
into these responsible positions who are
wholly unfit. Good men, they are, per-
haps, but not accustomed to sitting in
judgment, nor in reading aloud, nor in
tallying, adding and certifying. The

THE LOCAL RESULT.

The result Of the election in Sacra-
mento City and county is the choice Of
two Republican and one fusion legisla-
tor. the election Of two fusion and one
Republican Judge, the defeat Of the
regular nominee for Police Justice Of the
city, and the election Of one fusion, one
independent and one Republican Super
visor.
The defeat Of Judge Catlin is to be ac-
counted for by anonymous, secret and
open assault that deprived him of many
votes. Mr. BRUSHES defeat was helped
on by the interpositton of DR.. Dixon, an
alleged Independent Republican candi-
date for the Senatorship, and Mr.. Flint's
defeat for the SuperTsorship was due
to the very strong personal influence of
Mr.. Morrison, present President Of the
Board Of Supervisors.
Congressman Johnson Is defeated. He
had the most difficult fight of any can
didate on the list, having not only to
overcome nominal Democratic and
Populist strength in the district, but to
do battle against vicious assaults from
outside the district. Sacramento City
gave Mr.. Johnson 1851 majority over
Mr.. DeVries. That the county and dis
trict should have failed the Republican
party as it has Is regrettable. Sacra-
mento City has maintained it's Repub-
loan credit by a small plurality, the
vote showing that there we're just
enough voting for Mckinley to defeat
Kinley vote within the city lines was

Is 50 far from being patriotic that his

Let some bright man Just elected to
the Legislature put this down in his note
book-We need an amendment to the
election law requiring election boards
to post at the door of the polls q COM
plete showing of the result In the pre-
cinct.
AS it Is now, in many cases it Is impos-
sible to ascertain how an election has
gone until the official canvas by the
Boards Of Supervisors. Some precinct
boards finish their count, seal UP the
papers Gncluding those they should re-
tain, as by law provided), send them to
the Clerk and go home before 1T Is possi-
BILE for the press to ascertain results,
except a reporter is placed In each poll
ing place and kept there-a thing not
usual nor to be demanded of news
papers.
But outside Of that consfd Grafton the
people are entitled to know the result
Of the count at once, and to read II at
the polls as soon as the tallying Is fln-
ished. Posting the returns at once is
also desirable as preventive OF fraud,
for instance Of alteration Of the papers
after they leave the hands of the in
spectors and judges.
This posting should be protected by Sc
we're penalties for destroying, defacing
or changing the posted sheet. The idea
is by no means new. It is the law in
several States, and 1t is one of the old
features OF the Australian ballot law be-
fore it was Americanized.

WASHINGTON, Sept1.-Chairman Fuulk-
ner recently addressed letter to Secretary
Carlisle stating that in view of the re-
peated assertions by public speakers that
silver dollars had been kept at n parity
with gold by reason of the readiness of the
treasury TO redeem them in gold upon re
quest, he would like a response to the ques-
ton whether the treasury had ever re-
deemed silver dollars. Secretary Carlisle
writes in response; so far as have been
able to ascertain neither the treasury de-
partment nor the sub-treasury has ever
been called upon to redeem silver dollars
in gold, and no such dollars have ever been
in fact redeemed in gold.'

WAS CRUELTY DESERTED !
The Sad Experience of a Nuremberg
Young Woman.
THE WEDDING DID NOT TAKE PLACE
A Dinner Was Served Before the Departure
For Camden, Where the Couple Were
to be United-The Whereabouts
of the False One Unknown,
Special to EVENING HERALD.

NUREMBERG, Sept. Miss Ellie Brum-
mer, prominent and very respectable young
woman of this place, is almost prostated by
the cruel and pertdious treatment received
at the hands of her betrothed, who aban-
doned her on the very eve Of their mar
riage. The case is one which arouscs great
indignation and the unfortunate girl has the
sympathy Of the entire community, as she
has been robbed of hard-earned money as
well as cruelty deceived
The man at whose hands the young woman
suffered was William Rogers, formerly Of
Girardville, but until his disappearance en-
ployed as a bartender in hotel at this place
The couple had been engaged to be married
for some time but it was decided that the
wedding should take place at Camden, n. J.
Rogers had no funds, or at least he pretended
that he was penniless. Rather than have the
union delayed the poor girl advanced him
money which she had earned through hard
labor. With this money Rogers was expected
to purchase the railway tickets, pay the hotel
bill and fee the clergyman. Miss Drummer
had her wedding outfit in readiness. 1t was
also agreed that, as the wedding was to take
place away from home, the dinner would be
served first so that the family and friends
would not be deprived of a share in the
festivities. The dinner was served last
Friday. There was large attendance OF
relatives and friends and none were more
happy than Ellie Drummer. There was not
the slightest indication in Rogers demeanor
to arouse suspicion. After the dinner Miss
Drummer retired to get her wardrobe ready
for travelling. Rogers was apparently in a
merry mood and told the young woman that
| he would 20 and see some of the boys
while she was getting ready, and that he
would meet her at the railway station tc
start for Philadelphia. Mrs. Drummer was
at the place at the appointed hour. Rogers
was not there The train arrived. The
young woman's friends looked anxiously for
the expected bridegroom, but he failed to
make his appearance and all efforts made
since to locate him have failed. His disap-
peamnce cannot be accounted for and no one
in Nuremberg is able to give any clue to his
whereabouts.
