The Rev. DR.. Brown is not hard to
please, He says that the report of the
Congregational council which has had him
on the rack of trial for the last three weeks,
vindicates him. But it is the kind of q
vindication that would sell very low in the
markets. 1t is true that the council de-
olares it's inability, with the testimony
which has been submitted, to adjudge the
parson guilty of the naughtiness alleged,
but it does not do so in way that
indicates that it feels morally convinced of
his innocence. 1t is plain that the vindica-
ton is of a strictly technical order. As the
council intimates, his explanation of the
payment of $500 to Mrs. Davidson. with
an agreement providing for monthly pay
ments of $50 for series of years, was
somewhat too hazy to receive credence in
the minds of any but the most unsophis.

A STORY has gone abroad in way that
stories have, to the effect that Governor
Budd has desperately endeavored to care
for the interests of the public by filling
some Of the best offices with his relatives.
This story is defective IN way that lots of
stories are-it lacks the elements of truth.
The fact is that Governor Budd has ap-
pointed only one relative to office. and
that appointment was made contrary to
the appointee's wish. The gentleman APP
pointed is brother of the governor, and
he took the office, which, by the way, is
without remuneration. with the under
standing that his appointment would be
but temporary.

belief of the Mails is just trifle unwar-

the suggestion m ade before The state cen.

sion in San Francisco, that Los
Angeles have the next convention,
was received with we'll nigh unanimous
approval, and prominent members of the
Sacramento representation on the COM
mittee openly expressed themselves in
favor of Los Angeles for the meeting of
1898. Since 1888 every Democratic state
convention has been held north, and in all
fairness it would certainly seem as if the
region south of Tehachepi might be en-
titled to the next. One in ten years is
surely a modest average.
