The Boston Journal recently asked
they liked their newspapers to be. 1t
agreed to keep sacred any condolences
reposed, and to print no names if re-
quested to withhold them. 1t made
a very earnest appeal to its clientage
on the subject. The result was thous
ands of replies from people who read
and think, and the answer was that
while they differed widely in ideas as
to how a newspaper should be run, and
as to what should dominate in it, if
anything, nineteen tWentieths of them
agreed that they wanted clean journal
ism and not nasty, f1ashy, sensational,
yellow journalism, nor any of the yell
low kid antics, or r-snipe wit. or
Bowery ethics in their papers. That
greater more monstrous, or insulting
libel on the reading people than the
iterated shout of yellow journals
that they are what they are because
the people demand that sort of literary
pabulum. The simple truth is that the
only people who wish that kind of
food dished up TO them are those who
do not advertise, do not read for i'm
provement, do not contribute the
weight of a mosquitoes wing to public
betterment, have no influence among
men worth mentioning, and are Of the
class out of which grows most bad
taste and arises most evil with which
the country is cursed.

Yellow journalism is triumphant in
New York. The anti-cartoon bill which
passed the Senate of New York was
amended to death in the Assembly and
SO died by sections. But we apprehend
scare" and will be somewhat more
careful in the future. The fact that
such a bill could get so far, is a warn
time public opinion may wholly prevail.

Two editors have been arrested in the
Spanish Minister, for what he deems
harsh and insulting criticism of Spain.
1t appears that under the laws of Mex
leo there is warrant for such procedure.
Heavens, if there was any such law
in this country, and arrests were made
under it, nine-tenths Of the editorial
fraternity in Uncle Sans domain
would be in prison and be likely to stay
there, since the offenses would overlap
for every hour in the day.

One Of the jingo papers of London
boldly says that "it is necessary for
nations to be pirates occasionally; that
England needs the gold fields of the
Transvaal and must have them even if
they have to be fought for Therefore,
it adds, "let US fight and do the thing
boldly" In the language of the gut
ter this takes the bakery. The worst
of it is that this expression meets with
no rebuke from the dominant party in
England, and Mr.. Chamberlain, Sec
retary for the Colonies, at a public ta-
BILE has said pretty nearly the same
thing. Hail, Christian England!

DIED IN BIRTH.

The new road law, better known as
the Clarke road law, is generally admit
ted to be imperative 1t died in birth.
1t is an example of bungling legisla-
ton that does not go to the credit Of
the intelligence of the last Legislature
at the last moment after the 'princi-
pies" it is supposed to embody were re-
jected from the county government bill
1t is an effort to introduce the New
England town meeting system into our
policy without having a place prepared
for its reception. 1t aims to take road
management from the Supervisors and
confer it upon district boards and
officers without any provision for Sc
curing better qualified men as road
builders and maintainers.
The District Attorney of Sierra Coun-
ty has given an opinion concerning it
which appears to US to be sound, and to
strike the death knell of the law. He
holds that the law is a dead letter, an
imperative Act, because Wnlie prOVld-
ing for district officers, it fails to pro-
vide for the election of the first board
of officers without which there can
be no vacancies to be filled. But
assuming that because of the failure to
provide for the election of the first
Boards of Trustees the Supervisors may
appoint, then the former would have
control only of district roads, and could
only expend such fund as is accumulat-
ed by poll-tax collections. In all other
road building and maintenance the Su-
pervisors would have to act. Lastly,
there is no repeal of the law providing
that each Supervisor shall act as Road
Commissioner, and repeals by implica-
tion are not favored.

AN awful SORE
a Babes Untold Suffering
And Mothers Many
Sleepless Nights.
CUTICuRA WORKS WONDERS.

I herewith write out in full the beginning
and end Of that terrible disease, Eczema,
which caused my babe untold suffering, and
myself many sleepless nights.
NV baby was born seemingly fair, healthy
child, but when she was three weeks old
swelling appeared on the back of her head, and
in course of time broke. Every one called it
a boil, and, now K had broken, would soon heal,
but that was only the beginning of the trouble.
1t did not heal but grew worse, and the sore
spread from the size of dime to that of a dol
lar fused all kinds of remedies that could
think of but nothing seemed to help, in fact
it grew worse, her hair fell out where the sore
was and feared it would never grow again
It continued until my aged father came on
visit and when he saw the baby he told me
"to get CUTIoURA SOAP and CUTIcURA oint-
ment right away'' To please him / did so,
and to my surprise, by their use the sore be-
gan to heal over, the hair grew over 1t, and
TODAY she has a nice head of hair, her skin
is as fair as lily, and she has no scar lett 10
recall that awful sore.
CUTIcuRA soothes and allays all itching and
burning that cause a child to fret and the
mother to worry, and gives rest ana comfort
both to parent and child.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one purpose,
namely, o receptacle for the urine, and as
such it is not liable to any form OF disease
except by one of two ways The first way
is from imperfect action of the kidneys.
The second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy uine from unhealthy kidneys
is the chief cause of bladder troubles and
suffering so painful to many that life is
made miserable The womb, like the hlad-

womb is situated back of and very close

JOHN ID. MILLER A CANDIDATE.
A Committee Urges His appointment

A Committee Urges His Appointment
as Sealer of Weights and Measures.
A delegation, consisting Of Messrs. T. A
Lambert, w H. Yerkes and John Miller,
called upon Commissioners Ross this morn
ing 10 urge the appointment Of Mr.. John
j. Miller as scales Of weights and meas
ures.
These gentlemen told the Commissioner
that what the District needed was prac-
teal man, familiar with all the needs Of the
people with whom he came n contact in
the daily conduct OF his office, and that in
their opinion, Mr. Miller was fully equipped
for the requirements OF the place.
Major James Albert Clark, president
Of the Maryland State Editorial Associa-
ton, filed a strong letter with the Com
missiopcrs, urging the selection OF Mr..
Charles SChaffer, of Laurel, as sealer
There was also filed letter from Post
master General Gary in favor Of Schaffer,
and Congressman MHdd called In person
to urge his appointment. In addition to
the support Of these gentlemen, Schaffer
has the unqualified Endorsement of both
Senators Wellington and German, and a
strong fight is to be made for him.
The Maryland people claim the office,
for the reason that Gen. Pond, the incum-
bent, is from that state and it lis claimed
that if the appointment goes out or the
District it should be to a Maryland man.
as many of the property holders OF the
District are residents of that state and
taxpayers in the District.
The most likely candidate seems to be
Donaldson, for whom, it is said, the ma
tional Republican committee, through SEN
ator Hanna, has strongly intimated that
his selection would please the President.
Senator Hawley was at the District
building today to press the claims Of one
Of his friends who wants to he Sealer of
weights and measures. He had talk
with Commissioner Ross regarding his man,
and then left the building. In speaking
Of his man Senator Hawley said, when
seen after his interview, that he had
suggested his man without his knOwl-
edge, because he thought him capable
and efficient man; but thatbthe Comuls-
sioners were of the opinion that practical
scale man should he appointed, and that
one OF the applicants was practical
scale man and heavily Endorsed Ivy many
of the leading business men of the city.
