Explanation OF why "a Swelling Fol-
lows from q Blow.
The swelling which follows from
blow is natures effort to protect the
part from further injury and TO keep
1t at rest while repair Is going on, says
the Philadelphia Timrs. What actually
takes place at the scat of injury is not
even now quite understood. The in
jury to the smaller blood vessels inter-
fCrcs with the flow OF blood through
them and the white corpusclcs, with
part of the serum, the watering part of
the blood, escape into the surrounding
tissues. At the same time the blood YES.
sells in the ncighborhood dilatc and the
increased flow Of blood with the
thoroughfarc obstructcd increases tho
swelling.
II is probable that the white corpus.
clcs of the blood pass into the tissues
to assist in the repair, ms bees or ants
assemble at an injury to their store
house, but with this difference, that the
substance OF the corpusclcs is probably
converted into the tissue of repair.
From one point OF view the human body
is only one gigantic colony OF individ-
uals, and the swelling TINT follows In.
jury but the rush of these TO repair the
breach.

from the valu ltions submitted by the
Assessor.
In view OF the agitation going on
throughout the country. and which
takes place at every sitting OF the
board Of equalization. especially in
San Francisco, it would seom that
some remarks on the subject would
be pertinent at this time.
The people have elected II board OF
county commissioners in whom they
reIose confidence and faith and they
look to them to rcG"ite that cont.
dence and faith by il just adiudica-
ton Of the business which comes bc
fore them.
Tho board OF equalization has pc.
tent duty to perform towards it's con
stituents and. 80 far as is known.
those constituents have nothing To
fear at the bands OF those who have
been elevated to perform that duty.
But they look to the men who con-
stitnte the board To III every way
guard and protect their interests by
giving them such an equalization ms
will be just To ali concerned.
The present Assessor OF EIko
county has held office for several
terms and has never failed 10 give
satisfaction to those with whom he
comes in contact through the duties
OF his Office. His long service in this
direction has farniliariz ID him with
tho conditions which exist and the
proper values Of property. viii ii
nothing but That service and expert
cnce could give. 1t has placed him
in a position to state actual values
more accurately than any o'hcr per.
son. perhaps, than the individual owu-
ers of The property assessed, and We
aro of The opinion that the report nf
those values which he has submitted
il as nearly correct as could be oh.

lie hns followed in Office the rise or
decline in values. as the case may be.
and has ianiliarizcd himself by con
scientious cndeavor with the condI.
ton and worth OF the property in the
county. llis assessments have hith-
crto given satisfaction which has
been almost rr;yersul and except in
instances which are perhaps pecul-
inrly within tho knowledge H the
board. are correct.
However, the people look TO the
Board of Equ Iliza,ion for only what
is just and reasonable to all tho tax
payers. asking for no iavors to them
selves as individuals and requiring
that none 10 shown to either individ-
ual or corporation, except rs is right

We believe that they will have no

duties are done and the taxes have
been ultimately fixed.

Section l. 1t shall be unlawful for
any person, either individually or as an

to demand or solicit of any candidate
for the Legislature, or of any candidate
for Supervisor, or of any candidate for
School Director, or of any candidate for

berS of both houses. The voice Of proph-
ecy says there will be but one ballot;
that Senator Perkins viii have a walk
over to-day and that the joint ballot to-
morrow will be only a form and con-
firmation of to-days vote.
Colonel j. P. Jackson is here and spent
good part of yesterday in the Assem-
bly, Chamber. His countenance was
peaceful and happy, and to the Rec
ord Unions reporter he said:
Il can assure you that Senator Per-
kins is sure to be elected tomorrow.
I have made a good many political
failed. Mr.. Perkins recent course in
the Senate and with regard to his own
fight here, has been that of a cultured,
heightened and able statesman. Had
he left his Senatorial duties to come
back here for the purpose of log-roll-
ing it would have had the effect of
minifying the man in the eyes of the
country, but his course has been digni-
fed and honorable. There is no one
else who has even fighting chance"
WAYMIRES PLEASANT DUTY.
To Judge Waymire, so it is said, will
fall the honor of nominating Hon.
George c. Perkins to succeed himself.
To the Record Union representative
who asked Judge Waymire if this was
true, he did not deny the fact, which
does equal honor to his head and his
heart that he will to-day make the NOM
mating speech in the Assembly for his
friend of other days.
1t was learned last night that to-day
Senator Seawell will nominate w. w.
Foote for the Senate. Henderson will
second the nomination, and Foote will
receive the Democratic vote in that
body.
In the Assembly Treacy will nominate
Mcguire seconded by Boone.
In both houses the Populists will vote
for Gator.

ard things looked squally, as many as
twenty Democrats would step across

the factions who sought to boom a
candidate other than George c. Per
