THE DEAD NoN-PaRTlSHNS.

n T a recent meeting of the so-called Non
I \ Partisan candidates it was decided to levy an
assessment of 10 per cent OF the salaries IN
prospect upon all who have received the stigma OF
nomination by the Democratic sideshow, except
School Directors, who asked to contribute $40
each to the cause This exception was due to the
fact that School Directors receive compensation.
How they going to get back their money in the
event of election is therefore problematca
1t is interesting to note that the nominees OF Mr..
Pheans sideshow have taken this action 1t is in the
nature of a Non-Partsan revival The party dis
appeared so completely after the adjournment of its
convention and the disrepute which followed it into
retirement binding and overwhelming that
we were actually beginning to believe it had gone
into permanent eclipse. But here it is again assess
ing candidates. concocting street banners, arranging
for card distribution, and preparing to makea wild
charge upon the Offices.
However, activity upon the part of this Demo-
cratic sdeshow, convinced, is entirely super
fuous. Being a tail to Mayor Phelans ticket, it is
not in a position to deceive anybody, and in the
natural order OF things cannot while operating
der its present domino, get than thousand
votes, if does that many. 1t is safe wager that
Dave Barry chief of the first Solid Nine" Board
of Supervisors, who is running for Supervisor in the
Sixth Ward on petition nomination, will poll more
votes than Deacon Fitchs fraudulent band Of assist
ant job-chasers.
1t is really too bad that this should be AS a
moral reform party influence for producing
good government as example in local politics and
distributor of platform pledges the Partisan
party occupied important position in the political
affairs of San Francisco. AS a Democratic bunko-
steering apparatus however pledged to get votes for
the candidates nominated by a wealthy and arrogant
boss is distinct source of evil and corruption.

fallen so low. We do not object to their assessing
their candidates, but it is a pable spectacle to
once proud band of local patriots calling public at
tenton to their hideous condition by making public
report of the fact
In our judgment the Non Partisans would do we'll
to revoke this assessment and disband. That course
would their self-respect from the filthy pool
into which Phean has plunged it, and at the same
time substantial public duty would be discharged

THE AMERICAN BOY.

/ wonder if the boys and girls
Who lived in olden time
Were like the boys and girls we knoY
In our age and cline.
I wonder if the girls had dolls
Or did the boys play ball,
Or did good little Samuel
Know how to play at all!
I love the sweet Babes in the Wood,
And, oh, how my heart grieves
To think they slept upon the group
With cover made of leaves!
I love the Princes in the Tower
In curls and rutf1es fine.
1 hate their wicked uncle, too,
I'm glad he isn't mine!
1 wonder if they laughed and talked
Or were they always sad.
I'm sure should be if l had
An uncle half so bad.
With my brave company of boys
I wouldn't take one hour
To capture him, and rescue both
Those Princes in the Toweri
o children of the olden time,
I read of you in books,
I see your pictures on the walls,
And love your gentle looks
Your sad eyes seems to follow me
About where'er l play,
AS if you longed to have the fun
We children have to-day

ASSESSOR SiEBE.

ID Y the fercenesS OF the attack made by the Ex-
~ aminer upon Assessor Siebe, the public can
- estimate the extent to which his honest admin
stration OF the office has thwarted the schemes and
desires OF the Doodle organ Since Mr.. Huntington
cut the Hearstngs from the payroll OF the Southern
Pacific they have been hungrier than ever to levy
tribute upon other corporations AS Assessor Mr.
Sebe has refused aid them in exacting blacknail
and they are therefore fighting him more vciously
than any other candidate for Office OF the Republican
ticket
The Hearstlings concede that Mr.. SiebeS admin
istration of the office OF Assessor has for him
throughout the community the honorable reputation
of being an official of distinguished honesty. The
word rankles in the minds of the Hearstlings. By
styling him Honest John Siebe" they endeavor to
weary the people with the phrase, OF old some Of
the baser sort of Athenians weary of hearing
Aristides called the just They would have Mr., Siebe
defeated for reelection simply because he is known
to be an official of unassailable integrity.
John D. Sebe has now administered the Office OF
Assessor for eight years During the whole of that
time there has been in the office scandal; not one
act of commission or omission has given rise to a
suspicion to a rumOr~of wrongdoing. His
assessments have been made with business-like fair
ness, accuracy and efficiency He has aimed to pro-
portion the burdens of taxation imposed by law with
an impartial equity upon all classes of citizens He
has neither exempted the rich from their share Of
public burdens for the sake of counting their favor
neither has he threatened to cinch them by unjust
sessments for the purpose of compelling them to buy
justice by paying tribute either to himself to dis
reputable newspapers
The records of the Assessors office during Mr..
Siebe's administration show that he has performed
/ faithfully the duties imposed upon him. He has not
made in any one year radical excessive increase
| r Ia.f
ing the whole term of his administration there has
been steady upward rise in the proportion of rev.
enues raised from that class OF property -owners.
Thus while the personal property assessment of $780,
the year preceding Mr. Siebes accession to Office,
amounted to $66o82 372 and in the present year is
$685. no. showing increase of but $26I2,738
the increase in the assessments of banks and fran
chses of corporations having special privileges was
during the period SII,365,o85.
! On that showing the people can understand the
aninus of the attack of the Hearstngs 1t is clear
the managers of the Examiner feel something must
be done to make up for forfeited subsidy from the
Southern Pacific.

THE MAGUIRE OF RECORD.

I UDGE MAGUIRE has presented himself as
! II one who learned sympathy for the poor a
~ toiler and mechanic himself We have hereto
fore said that he quit work very young and went at
once to holding Office and drawing salary, and has
stuck to since with zeal and consancy that mark
him as the champion placeholder and pap-sucker
OF California not excepting John P Dunn, who has
fitted from office TO office, like honey bee from
flower to flower.
Judge Mcguire began at the age of 10 as clerk to
E F. Preston (Republican), appointed attorney
TO collect delinquent street assessments Mcguire
held this Office and drew down SIS month until
January, 1876 when, having got another office as
member of the Legislature, he went to Sacramento
and drew down legislators salary, mileage, etc, tor
the months of January, February and March, 1876
When he returned with his salary in his pocket he
stepped back into his old Office of attorneys clerk,
John B. Weller having meantime succeeded MI
Preston in the collection of delinquent street assess
ments In 1873 the office of Attorney abolished
and Mcguire began practicing at the law, with no
conspicuous success In. 1882 Buckley nominated and
elected him to the Superior bench where he sat six
years. drawing a salary of $4,000 and most OF the
time abusing the who made him Judge and
boiling the party whose ticket he was candidate
He left the party in 1887 and the bench in 1885, and
lived on his accumulated salaries Until 1892 when he
came back to the party and was elected to Congress-
and has held Office and drawn salary since.
No man has been more conspicuous for using a
party for selfish ends and treating it with disoya
contempt than Mcguire.
He has lived on office since he 10 years old
and has never hestated bolt desert and defeat the
party to which he his bread and the butter that
spreads it No ofhce-holder returned less SER
vice the people for the salary they have paid HIM
He has drawn his salary in gold and paid for it in
words words words. The following is correct list
OF his offices held and salaries drawn since he
years old:
Clerk to Preston 1S72-76.. $500
legislature January, February and March,
1876. soo

Total ........... SIC, $50
Mcguire is now As years old. His official salaries
therefore exactly $I7o8 per year for every
year that he has lived.
We challenge the record for any other man in Cali
fornia who has been paid a salary equal to $17o8
year, or $I42 80 a month"; or 81 Is day, ever since
he was born. The account stands:

States who discovered and built up South Florida,

to be more potent than the gold-seekers themselves

The modern tourist is in fact, resstless. He is
unwearyng in his desire for novelty. No amount of
travel fatigues him. He has money to burn. If
he were sure OF good hotel, lawn tennis court and
golf field at the end of his journey he would alter

TRAIN-RoBBING rs A Disease.

THERE is an old familiar ring to the announce
ment that Jesse James has come under sus-
picon of having robbed a train Possibly this
will tend elevate him in local esteem, for there are
reports that in varohs back counties OF Missouri the
picture OF the original Jesse hangs above the mane
and youth trained to look upon it with ave. much
the nantile American is wont to gaze the por-
trait of the father OF his country.
However, train-robbing has its serious aspect and
young Jesse may find paucity of roses along his
pathway whereupon tswl behoove him to make a
defense Why he not set foeth to the great edi-
fcation of sympathetic jury, that tranrobbing is
an inherited taste? Having established this he could
not be held cu1pab1e. When man commits murder
he has only to make clear that he received from his
ancestors some peculiar bent and then everybody
says Poor fellow, innocent lamb" Thereupon
justice gives him his clearance papers into the wide
world the spectators drop appreciatve tears and the
next case is called.
1t cannot be contended that train-robbing is a
laudabe form OF industry, but it certainly as good
murder and Jesse is entitled to much considera-
ton assassin. Whatever the outcome Missouri
will mourn. The idea that Jesse James should have
been concerned in the holding up OF train the cpl
sode being devoid of dash or heroisn or big haul
will tend to dim the halo above the pride of the State
