THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

much to get an office as It payl, it may well be calculated that he is liable, aye, almost certain, to come mp short when the day for settle ment rolls round. This is plain talk but it is cold truth. It is justified by the rotten condition Of affairs prevailing in this county today. With all it's soul and vigor the News denources the detestable vote seller and vote buyer. They are out laws, they are thieves, they are thugs of the common herd. They are despoilers of public honor and of the public interests. They would, and do, rob each other, rob their friends, and plunder the public. The state prison is defrauded of it's own as long as they run at large. God speed the day when the men of Garland county who yet retain un- tarnished principles of common honesty, and honor, will rise in their might. and put in operation some movement to suppress this damnable condition of political pollution"

Political Pollution

Under the above heading the Hot Springs News boldly discusses the political corruption of Garland county, and it discloses a very startling condition. The News says:
 ''The News does not believe it makes an extravagant estimate when it says there are no less than LOGO men in Garland county uko will sell their vote or their ''infu- ence" elections. This is fearful d5cla f, but it is fully justified ay .. Men who will sell theia are dishonest. Being dishonest themselves, they aid 10 electine dishonest officials. This is self evident trutE, for no honoss man will buy a vote nor pay for po- litical Influence" This wretched and disgraceful condition Of things which exists in our country, is fast bringing it to ruin. It is responsi- ble for ineficiency in office, for, no matter whether a candidate pos sesses notifications or not, if he puts up the stuff he can get the office. It is responsible for defalea- tions in office and shortages in offic- ial accounts, for if man spends as

THE sHODDY UNIFORMS
Clothing of the Tennessee and Kansas Regiments Unfit
 to Wear.

The board of survey appointed by Gen. eral King to pass upon the uniforms of the Twentieth Kansas and First Tennes- see regiments has made its reports, in which the board finds the pants and blouses of a quality unfit for issue, al though the workmanship upon them is fairly good. The board recommends that the uniforms be replaced with those pre- scribed in the regulations, without cost, and that the present ones be turned into the quartermaster.
 Brigadier General Otis has decided not to call board of survey for the Third Brigade at the present time. Colonel Lo- per of the Fifty-first Iowa thought of re- questing the calling of a board, as did Colonel Frost of the First South Dakota, but upon investigation both officers found that matters had not the alarming as- pect that they had upon first glance, and decided to bring about settlement of their troubles without undue publicity.

It is now in Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Express office, and for the past three days has been the subject of con- siderable correspondence between Presi- dent A. Stein and Major General Otis.
 The manufacturer is very desirouS of having the big broom sent to Dewey, and General Otis has not yet signified his in- tentions as to whether or not he will take 1t on the next expedition.
 On Monday evening last the First Bap- tiSt church gave social at the Christian Endeavor headquarters, Camp Merritt. After a splendid programme was rendered the men were served with refreshments. On Tuesday evening the Simpson Memo rial M. E. church had charge, and the success of Mondays social was repeated.

patriotic to let such matter as the sub stitution of one officer for another drive them out of the service of their country. They know, too, that such a step would only bring disgrace upon themselves and their birthplace, for were they to refuse to join the regiment there are scores of towns ready and anxious to send men to take their places, without question and without a thought as to who would command them. The men in Camp Bar rett would like to serve under the men who commanded them in the National Guard, but they will follow whoever may be selected to lead them.
 Captain Murray commenced the work of mastering in the men by companies this afternoon and by night four full commands, embracing some of the best blood in the State, had taken the oath to bear true faith to the United States. The first to enter the service was Com pany D of San Rafael, making Captain Elliott the senior line officer. Lieutenant Meggett was not mustered In, but will await his turn, according to seniority.

BUDD NAMES
 THE OFFICERS
The Governor Appoints the Line Officers of the
 Eighth California.

Yesterday, by direction of Governor Budd, AdJutant General Barrett named the line officers of the Eighth California United States Volunteer Infantry. The Governor, AdJutant General and Colonel Henshaw gave careful consideration to the selection of these officers. Few changes were made from the original list and therefore the roster stands very nearly as 1t did when the companies went into camp under Colonel Henshaw.
 The Governor is very earnest in his de- termination that capable officers shall gG to the front with the Eighth Regiment. Where changes were made good and suffi- cient military reasons were set forth for each change. The idea that the volun- teers of the Eighth Regiment contem- plate revolt because a few changes were ordered Is regarded by the Governor and AdJutant General as absurd. It can be sald as fact, however that the Governor VIII not tolerate aI.y insubordination or threats Of mutiny. In the event of mu- tinous talk the offending organization will be promptly dismissed from the service. So many companies are anxious to get in that the military authorities of the State cannot afford to countenance any infraction of military discipline by organizations which have been favor s6 by acceptance. Santa Cruz stands
The San Francisco call., 1898-07-07

ready to send in a company of stalwart volunteers. Eureka is rendering a com pany and many other towns are making application for the acceptance of troops.
 The effort of the Examiner to provoke the volunteers to mutiny has not escaped the observation of the military authori- ties. Nothing would give the Examiner more pleasure than a revolt among the soldiers from this State, hence an awk- ward effort Is made by that journal to stir up strife and bad feeling in the regi- ment at Camp Barrett. The paper is hav- ing quite a war carnival of its own. The staff correspondents, according to the let ters of Willie Hearst. the boss of the sheet, are on the battlefield of Santiago picking the pockets of the dead and cut ting off the heads of Spanish prisoners. It is not surprising therefore that the non-combatants of the staff should be over in Fruitvale working up a special Examiner mutfny among the California volunteers.
 The following is the text of the order is- sued from State Headquarters yesterday.
