THE ANTI.FUNDING RESOLUTION.
1t Was a Surprise, and Adopted
Without DeIiberatiOn.

When the convention adjourned yes
terday afternoon many of the prom
inent delegates expressed themselves
vigorously in regard to the manner in
which the anti-funding resolution had
been rushed through the convention.
They claimed that it came as sur
prise to them, and they were trapped
into voting for something on the spur
of the moment which they had not con-
sidered and which they did not approve
1t had been supposed on all sides; in
fact, was a general understanding,
that all resolutions would be submitted
to the Committee on Platform and Res
olutions for their careful considera-
ton before being put before the con-
vention. This was not done in the case
of the anti-funding resolution, and
when it was put through with a rush
many of the delegates did not know
what was going on. After the conven-
ton adjourned delegates could be heard
protesting loudly against The snap
judgment taken, but of course their
complaints were fruitless.
|. One delegate from the southern part
of the State was particularly chagrined
when he found that he had been placed
in the position of having Endorsed the
Government ownership of railroads. He
said: ut looks to me like a piece of
buncombe. A resolution of that Kind
could not possibly have any effect on
legislation in Congress, even if the end
were desirable. The convention was
taken by surprise, or it never would
have adopted it. l am opposed to the
Government ownership of railroads and
always have been. l think the Govern
ment has enough to do without med
ding with railroads and telegraph mat
tiers, and every man who thinks must
sooner or later arrive at the same con-
clusion."

So writes a happy man fresh from the
Slough of Despond.
Well the discovery has been proclaimed,
but men are slow to believe.
The way is open to inquire, to investigate
Why viii not every man do so?
There is simple way to cure at home ali
those baneful effects of the sins of youth and
the excuses of later years which blast the
lives of rnulttudes of men.
There is a way to regain strength lost by
disease, overwork and worry.
A way to secure and retain the abilities
sacrificed to dissipation-to be glad again
after suffering ar atonement''
A way TO repair drains on the system that
sap the vitality.
A way to replace nervousness, dread and
dependency with courage and self-respect.
A way to give full strength, development
and tone TO every portion of the body.
A way TO remove every obstacle to happy
and fruitful married life.
All this is clearly shown in little medical
work recently published. 1t is not a book

ALL RECORDS SMASHED.
Session of the Fourth Congressional
Convention Lasts Six NinuteS.

The Fourth Congressional District
Convention (San Francisco met in the
Senate Chamber at the State Capitol
building at LOO p. m. yesterday for
the purpose of electing delegates and
alternates for the National Convention
at ST. Louis.
The delegates composing the conven-
ton had only just been recognized by
the State Convention, and their duty
was to choose delegates of their own.
The convention was called to order
by John M. Chretien, Chairman of the
Fourth Congressional District Commit
tee, and the records were kept by Mar
tin Stevens, Secretary of the same COM
mittee.
No time was lost and no speeches
were made. The Fourth were bent on
business, and nothing but business
went"
Sam NJ Shortridge and w. w. Mon
tague were elected delegates by &C
clamation, Mr.. Shortridge returning
thanks by bowling gracefully to the con-
vention. Chairman Chretien informed
him that any speech he would like to
make could be handed to representa-
tives of the press and would be pub
lished but only sufficient time would be
allowed him to bow once and smile af-
terward Thereupon Sam M. Shortridge
bowed his tall form, smiled broadly
gathered up his coattails and sat
down. He appeared to be eminently
we'll pleased with the whole world
Thomas D. Reardon and D. K. Nc
Mullin were elected alternates without
opposition, and, on motion of Dele
gate Curry, the convention adjourned
to meet at the call Of the Chair. Just
six minutes had passed from the time
the Chairman's gavel fell until the con-
vention adjourned, and it is safe to
say that all records in that direction
were smashed to smithereens.

THIRD DISTRICT.
The New Delegation Elects New Dele

The Third Congressional District del
gates met at 1850 D. m. in parlor II in
the Pavilion.
Chairman Won Schmidt of the Ala
media delegation called the meeting to
order and Mr.. Farnham nominated Dr..
Pardee for Chairman, and he was
elected unanimously.
Merry Laidlaw was elected Tempo
rary Secretary.
Judge Davis of Alameda said that the
question for consideration at this time
was as to the action of the day before
A number of delegates had voted at that
meeting to send certain delegates to ST.
Louis. The contest made by him and his
fellow delegates was made on principle.
and not for the purpose of electing any
particular person. 1t is then wise to
ask, will it not be wise to let those NOM
nations stand and allow those gentle
men to take their seats without ques-
ton, and not open the contest all along
the line.
Further, it was settled in the Garfield

By the time the last member of the

able it did very little for irrigation,
except in theory, ard as that
stage in irrigation has long since

these Congresses should do is to
draft bills 80 present to Congress
to become laws, which will compel
the general government to assist in
developing water for irrigation.

what we want is water to irrigate
