Thrift, Horatio thrift; the normal

possible that the board of trustees of
the normal school were not at all sated
with the provender in the manger set
apart for ex-Trustee Davidson; that
the funds of the normal school, amount
ing to $4,000 or $50. 900 year. had long
been deposited in the Farmers and Mer-
chants bank of this city till used up or
swallowed down; that Trustee Wilson
was deeply interested in the financial
welfare of the Merchants National
bank; that the said Wilson had no SOON

bib and spoon than he saw the S40,0 900
or s50,000 year that it was good; that
he procured the removal of said account
from the Farmers and Merchants bank,
where 1t had peacefully reposed, to the
Merchants National bank, where it is
more apt to rebound to the credit of
Trustee Wilson Of the abnormal normal
school - to his credit, but not to his
glory.
There be little things upon the earth.
but they are exceeding WISE"
"Our thoughtless young people, do
so love to sit at the feet of Wise and
Good men who fill High positions with
great Credit.
There is a moral grandeur in the facile
facial nerve of many man of uncom-
monty small stature.
Let us pray for rain that shall bring
toads to eat up the insects that swarm
where the cabbageheads grow to fill the
crops of the larvae that crawl in the
slime they spread over the cabageheads
in the educational gardens.
AN alleged journal yclept the Capital
breaks out with a few pimply political
pustules wherein it takes occasion to
whine a few whimperings concerning
the remarks in this column,
and alludes to me as Pro
fessor Hutchison, he Of the elon-
rap wherever there is head The
Capital does not know plain dealing
from cynicism it cannot tell the differ
ence between simperers in mutual ad-
miration society and those who do not
care to take the idiotic oath which for
ever forswears the fools who otherwise
might have escaped their folly. This
column has not been filled with bald
assertions. 1t has been replete with
names and data and facts. and desire
to call the Capitals attention to the
fact that no statements ever made here
in have been successfully controverted;
that but few attempts of the kind have
ever been made; that the Capital and
the balance of the folk are hereby chal-
lenged to a controversy on any subject
alluded to in this column; that the NAL

cracking the hollow skulls of mullet-
heads; that millions of people think as
I do on many subjects; that l differ
from them by thinking aloud.
In thinking aloud I shall remark that
the Capital offends all people OF taste
by keeping the following remarkable
editorial as a standing insult on its
front page and in the first column there
of: 1T Will do you little good to adver-
tise cornmeal or calico or oVefails IN
these columns, but if you have for sale
articles that people of taste refinement
and wealth fancy, we can help you. The
same article also claims larger circu-
lation among strictly high class people
than any paper published in Southern
California Just above and Immediate
ly under the name of what it calls its
BUS Manager" the said journal itself
claims to be published lin" Southern
California, even at Los Angeles. The in
suit to good people who use cornmeal
and calico and overalls, and the toad
bellying before it's strictly high class"
people are even more abominable than
the rhetoric of the barbarous phrase.
"strictly high class people" Hardly an
Original column in that high class
journal is without score of such bar
barisms.
If Uncle Sam would but manage to
keep his 10-cent special delivery stamps
on sale at all postoffices he would oblige
the public very much and would gather
in many shekels that he cannot other
wise get.
Many people do not know that un-
used stamps cut from stamped enve-
lopes or wrappers cannot be used for
postage. Many man has cut out such
stamps to paste on other matter, and
has never learned that such matter went
straight to the dead letter office. Uncle
Sam has his "off" spells.
The peculiar police of this city still
permit the Chinatown hoodlums to an
noy half of the Eighth ward by frequent
explosions Of fireworks that make a
hideous din for many minutes, while the
decent white lad who commences his
Fourth of July operations too soon is
gently clubbed or dragged to the city
jail.
A mail box, an electric light and fire
alarm box are sadly needed at the cor
ner Of Macy and New Macy streets, or
at the, corner of Macy and Lyon streets
For lack of such fire alarm station the
late fire in that vicinity destroyed much
property and cremated two innocent
| children. Yours truly,
