that his doom will now be swift. The
earth is numbered with such a villain.
1t will be glad when it is rid Of him.
OPPOSITION TO THE SALOON.
San Jose Herald: A building to cost
$l50,OOO is in course of construction at
Yonkers, N Y, for the express pur-
pose of fighting the saloon. 1t is in the
heart of the business part of the city;
is one hundred feet long and forty feet
deep. ard will have seven full stories
Every appliance will be furnished to at
tract boys and men,.
Yonkers is a place about the size of
San Jose with its suburbs. Perhaps as
a suburb of New York it has more
wealth per capita than this city, but
look at the contrast in the action of the
two places in this matter. San Jose
could not, or would not, raise $4,000 to
save it's Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton building from sale for debt, while
Yonkers raises nearly ten times that
amount to put up building for similar
purpose.
We are not aware that Yonkers poses
as particularly Christian city. San
Jose on the contrary prides itself on
being a city of churches, moral and re-
ligious community. Especially it pro-
fesses to be community devoted to the
cause of temperance.
1t is also a place where many young
persons of both sexes come to attend
our various institutions Of learning,
leaving their homes, breaking from
their family associations for the time
being, and putting themselves in a
measure adrift upon the world.
1t is a matter of the first Importance
for these young people, and for those
resident and also for older persons So
iourning temporarily in the city to have
some place of resort other than the sa-
loon, where they may feel free to go in
the evening or in the intervals of bust
ness and pass their time agreeably sur
rounded by good influences. The Y. NJ.
c. A. offered just such place, but it is
lost to that purpose. Can it be regained
or can a substitute be obtained? We
NAV not hope to emulate the example
of Yonkers, but surely we ought to be
able to do something in that direction.
At present it is an imputation on the
character Of this city that no such op-
position to the saloon is maintained
| here.
TAKE WARNING, YOUNG MAN.
| Fresno Republican: The young man
with salary of $50 month and habits
which require $3.50 for their gratifica-
ton is pretty certain to come to grief
sooner or later. Young de Lashmutt,
| late City Marshal of Selma, was a pop
ular officer and enjoyed the confidence
| of the people of that community. He is
| of good family, had excellent prospects
| and would in all probability have made a
useful and honored citizen had he not
| fallen into bad associations and formed
| habits that led to his becoming a de-
| faulter and fugitive from justice.
1t pays to be honest, young man; and
you are never truly honest with your
self and with those who place their con-
fdence in you from the time that you
| begin to find enjoyment in evil associa-
| tions.
THE LATE ELECTION.
Alameda Argus: The '1esson" of the
late election, after ALL is not so definite
as to the disesteem of the people for the
bosses 1t is true that in Maryland
the picturesque and one of the able
leaders Of the Democratic party in the
Senate has been elected to stay at home
and it is equally true that in Ohio the
brilliant Republican manager of the Re-
publican campaign last year will have
a tight squeeze to get to the Senate, if
he gets there at all; but on the other
hand, in the city of New York the boss
of all bosses; the king pin and croWnlne
glory Of the professional political manip-
ulator, was triumphant exceedingly. Mr..
