What Everybody Knows,

Or ought to know, is that health
and even life itself depends upon the
condition Of the blood. Feeding, as
it does, all the organs Of the body, it
must be rich and pure inorder to give
proper nourishment. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla makes the blood pure, rich
and nourishing, and in this way
strengthens the nerves, creates an ap-
petite, tones the stomach and builds
up the health. Hoods Sarsaparilla
wards off colds, pneumonia and fevers
which are prevalent at this time.

DESERTS MR.. BRYAN.

The New York journal, Heretofore His
Warm supporter. Afiiliates with Tam
many
New YORK, Jan. 13.-The New York
Journal, hitherto his warmest parti-
san, evidently is getting ready to cast
aside W. J. Bryan. In signed edito-
rial by It's chief writer, Arthur Nc
Even, Mr. Bryan in yesterdays issue
is roasted severely. The New York
Journal was the only eastern paper OF
Importance to support Bryan during
his late campaign, and this indica-
ton that II is TO abandon him as can
didate for the presidency in 1900 is a
matter OF no small interest. Richard
Croker and the influence Of Greater
New York is apparent. The journal
will, It'll thought, become the advocate
Of new democracy, whose nucleus
is Tammany. There may be a fight
between the east and west, the eastern
leaders aiming to unhorse Bryan and
reorganize the democratic party under
the leadership Of new man and on q
platform calculated TO win back the
members who were alienated by the
Chicago platform. ..

THE GRAPSUS PICKUS.

JITH something like pyrotechnical display oi lNI scientific lore and lingo the is an nounced in our Eastern exchanges of a corps pf professors and students of Yale from the Bahama Islands, where they have been engaged in the study o the marine zoology that swarms in those tropic Rich and rare, 1t IS said the that have been brought back, and according all reports the richest and raest gem of the collected trophies of science IS 'grapsus pickus."
 The name is exactly familiar, but it will sound to every Californian as something that he ought to recognize. The Century Dictionary informs that the grapsus belongs to the series ocypodoidea of a family of brachyurous, deoapod crustaceans. It is further said of them that the carapace quadrilaeral the otbits are moderate, the postabdomen is very wide; that they nhabit the seashore and run with great rapidity.
 We not informed in what respect the pickus differs from any other grapsus but the New York Times, after what seems to have been an inspection of the treasure says that where he is not brown he is either red or yellow The scientists who gathered him in declare that his instincts are predatory and his habits mysterious With this much to go upon, it is easy for us to reconstruct the brachyuran in every form and feature and duly recognize him.
 On this coast the grapsus pickus is neither rich nor fare. He can be seen at any Democratic gather ing. As rule they are red deeply tinged with yell
 
 one can be found like the Hooded Gould type that presents decidedly dun brown appearance. In all varieties the predatory instinct seems be developed largely, though occasionally it is absent but the wide posabdomen and the mysterious habits are nvariable in the species
 While rule all brachyural or short-tailed, te qualification decapod does not apply to the local tribe. So far from having feet, some of them haven't foot to stand on though the Mcguire freak which1is now stretching two platforms, implies tendency to approach the decapod type As to their nhabiting the ,seashore and running rapidly, the question is open one. On the Pacific they infabit everywhere from the Sierras to Homo lulu, and while they may not always rapidly it ascertain that whenever an office is in sight they run the best they can.
 1f-any Eastern college desires grapsus pickus to rival the Yale treasure the faculty should apply at once to Californian friend, specifying whether they prefer the dun brown. Hooded Gould type with pace quadrilateral, the yellow Mcguire with de capod tendencies. The applications should be made early, however, as do not guarantee that any o the species will be fit for preservation after they make their periodical swarm up Salt River in November.

WEELs-FaRGo PRETENsE.

IF-tfe Wes-Fargo Express Company was sincere
 in its repeated asseverations that it intended to A. comply with the law governing the war tax as soonras the law had been, construed, it has now no further for refusing pay its share To add that there was never belief in its sincerity IS mat ter of simple truth
 The company begged the Merchants Association to hold off until case had been decided in the East More than such case has been decided all against the company. No other result was pos sbe for the law isso plain that cannot be twisted even by corporation lawyer. But the cases have been appealed to the United States Supreme Court and the Wells Fargo people still beg the merchants tohold off to patiently continue to paythe tax which ought as the company knows, and as everybody else knows to bepaid by the company. In other words, this rich company is trying to sneak out of its re- sponsbilities It should not be permitted to do SO
 sSuch action the part of Wells Fargo is partic- ularlys mean,- To grant delay would be to cheat the public The taxes being paid by patrons can neyer,sbe recovered By the time decision could be given by the Supreme Court the war would be over, the expenses provided for and Wells Fargo be able to view an adverse ruling with the utmost unconcern And this is the corporation which has been. regarded as liberal and for which California entertained respect: No jobbery more contemptible was ever attempted
 .1Iie duty of H. S Foote United States District Attorney is clear. Public sentiment demands that he begin at once action against Wells-Fargo, and no longer wait for what may be done elsewhere. The endeavor to make him wait is but part of the scheme to bunko the people. and evade tax as just band as necessary as any ever imposed.

WHY THEY WERE SHOCKED.

COuHIS IOC any thing. Also, he has no sense of humor,
 from the Caucasian standpoint. In his
 childltke, innocent way, he will do things
 which would send a European peddler to
 jail for months, and no one will take
 serious notice. That is why the decorous gravity of a Pine-street French restau-
 rant was rudely disturbed the other
 night.
 The proprietor was busily engaged ill.,
 ing bottles with the compound familiarly
 known in the Latin Quarter as 'dago red. This is an operation which requires
 great skill nowadays, since the war tax fell with a sickening thud on the land
 Every bottle bears on its neck the cent stamp required by law. When refllling
 the bottle you must be careful not to
 stain or destroy the stamp or else it could not be utilized again. With proper
 precautions, the same stamp may be used over dozens of times, and thus 1t hap pened that the proprietor of the restau- rant, in his absorption, failed to notice the entrance of the prohibited Chinese peddler.
 John marched gravely up to the center table, where half-dozen ladies and gen.
 tlemen were dining in friendly way.
 You wantee buy?" he said, confiden-
 tially, to the prettiest lady of the group,
 as he undid the strings of his parcel.
 'Wely good; welly cheap"
 He held out gauzy, lace-trimmed pet ticoat. The lady shook her head and turned her attention to a mysteriously
 compounded entree.
 "Allee Htee," continued John, nothing | discouraged; this one more better He held out delirious dream in lace and gauge with frills and furbelowS all over it. His eyes shone with triumph as he | displayed this masterpiece of his pack. | .Only one dollar said John. | It was just question whether the inci- | dent would end as 8 joke or a scandal; | but, fortunately the audience, having | well dined, saw the humorous aspect of | the case. A roar of laughter from all the tables delighted John, and taking this as sign of approval, he proudly trotted | round the room, displaying his pair of
 unmentionables to every lady present | Just then the proprietor, having lodged | the war tax for the fiftieth time that day, arose and took in the situation at a | glance. Ten seconds later dazed and l battered Chinaman, who never saw the | joke, decorated the pavement outside | Professor I. M. Woods, the blind violin i yirtuoso, Is at the Russ.

A aGRoWING" OPPOSITION.

' 1E observe with much interest that in one lN| quarter at least several Republicans of this and three other outlying counties have opened the State campaign in manner that Is not only enthu- siaStc, but eminently regular A morning con temporary, which every two years vigorously pro- the Senatorial prospects of its proprietor nounces that the opposition to the renomination of Congressman Loud of the Fifth District is grow ing Forty men representing leading clubs in this city, Santa Clara, San Mateo and Santa Cruz coun- ties called upon the State Committee on Thursday and according to this contemporary, in the strong est terms made known their opposition.
 This may be said to be the opening gun" of the great fight for Republican victory In California in 1898 Opposition the renominaton of Congress- man Loud is growing We do not read that the forty Heading" Republicans referred to by the morn ing paper in question suggested any man to fill Mr. Louds place Indeed, evidence is produced that they not all disappointed office-seekers intent upon wreakng the revenge customariy distributed in Republican yellow dog years and which GUS tomary results ir turning Congress- the Legislature and the State government the Democrats. The shyness of our contemporary in giving their leads to suspect that they actually band of pap suckers who have temporarily lost their grip upon the public udder and who charging around hungriy searching for the responsible for the disaster
 It ought not to be necessary, however, to remind our Senatorial contemporary and leading Repub- lcans only of the Fifth but other Congressional districts that the interests of the State demand the constant reelection of experienced Representatives. l Until man has served in the Lower House two or three terms he amounts to nothing Chairmanships are given to unseasoned members. To retire Loud at this time that the Filth District shall go unrepresented in Congress for about six years, or at least until the shall have mastered his | job and attained sufficient prominence to entte him to recognition by his party. The operation of re- missal of competent and the filling of his place with blank.
 If Congressman Loud had committed any political crime had failed to represent his district, had neglected to get appropriations, 1t might be proper to call him to account But the leading citizens who oppose him prefer but one charge. They say it is rumored that Speaker Reed has written to the railroad asking 1t to do what 1t can for Loud! Of course this is terrible, if true But why does not somebody prove it? Certainly the Heading" Re- publcans of the Fifth District cannot ask us to credit their unsupported statements in the midst of ex- citing campaign.
 However, shall observe with interest the en- deavor of our contemporary and its Heading Re publicans to turn the Fifth District over to the Dem ocrats. The successful accomplishment of the feat ought to entte the formers proprietor to the Sen atorship.

SONG.

Oh. sweet is the smell of the spruce trees And clear is the evening sky; Some yards from my tent the river To Dawson flows silently by The ice fingers still on its bosom As though unwilling to die. The snow nestles yet on the mountains Just tinged with the light of the west; A woodpecker taps in the forest And calls Its fond mate to the nest The camp has been charmed into silence, And even the dogs are at rest. But stand alone by the river And gaze at the heavens above;t think of maid like the morning With a voice like the coo of dove, And the wind that has passed through ths spruce trees
 Seems the breath of the maiden love
