NOT A RAILROAD aFFAIR.

HERE has been frequent declaration lately that
 the railroad IS not in politics. Whether this was
 made with the expectation that any one would believe 1t as grim corporation joke is not clear. It IS certain however, that there many represen tatives of the railroad at Sacramento now, having gone up from this city Their presence at the capital can hardly be regarded a coincidence and their cir cuation among the delegates IS believed to have some other purpose than mere sociability As matter of fact the railroad IS doing politics.
 The present is not railroad year, and the interfer- ence of thar concern in Republican affairs will not be tolerated The company would be wise to recall its clerks and handy men. They may be needed at home. They are neither needed wanted a Sacramento, and any work they undertake there will be promptly exposed If any candidate is being pushed forward by the railroad the truth will be published and result in the undoing of that candidate. To expose such deal, no matter whom it may involve, this paper gards as a duty to the public and to the party The ticket must not be loaded down with the creatures of the corporation. Let the railroad get out of politics or experience the discomfort of being kicked out carrying with it the who do its bidding.

A PLANK FOR THE PLATFORM.

| HEN the committee platform at Sacra-
 \A| mento sets about drawing up declaration of
 \ principles for the Republicans of California in the coming campaign 1t is well assured they will not neglect to pay fitting tribute to the brave men of the army and the navy who have in the with Spain so gloriously upheld the victorious traditions of our flag and country. The committee, however, should stop with words of praise and commenda- tion For the of the navy least there is needed something more. They have claim upon the Gov for justice, and the Republican party should give pledge that the claim shall be fully and prompt ly accorded.
 For long time there has been demand that pro- vision be made in naval regulations for the ad- vancement and promotion of enlisted in pro- portion to their merits. The navy personnel bill in troduced into Congress at the last session but not acted upon was devised to that end. The demand is well founded. To open avenue for merit in the navy would be simply to extend to that service the principle which pervades every other department of American life. It would be but the fighting of an injustice which has been already long tolerated
 There was time in the army, in the navy now when enlisted men had no chance of promotion to the rank of commissioned officers. A change was made there and the results immediately bene- fcal. better class o young men enlisted in the ranks and the spirit of the army improved It be doubted that equally good results would follow from similar change in the navy. It is well known that under the present conditions ambitious young in America turn aside in time of peace from the naval service They are unwilling to devote themselves to career in which no means are pro vded by which merit may rise from the lowest to the highest round of the ladder
 It is to the navy mainly swift and splen- did triumph Spain. For that triumph great honors due to the commissioned officers of every grade from lieutenant admiral but all the credit of the victories should not be given to them. Much IS due to the enlisted men, Without hope of personal fame or promotion they performed their difficult and dangerous duties heroicaly as the command ing officers themselves When volunteers were called for to follow Hobson in the daring deed of blocking Santiago harbor every enlisted in the fleet came forward. Such men deserve more than empty praise and rewards in the form of bountes or increased pay. q t8T4
 The Democratic party in its platform has ignored these men, but the Republicans do so.s The seamen of our navy should be given chance of pro motion equal to that given to the soldiers of the army Wherever patriot fights for America land or sea. he should have before him under the starry. flag an open avenue leading to the highest honorss of grate- fu country

MR. J. AUBREY JONES.

THEN it was announced that the fused fac \Gj tions of the Third Congressional District had
 nominated their candidate for Congress Mir. j. Aubrey Jones little murmur of surprise ran around the community Some asked, Who is Mr. Jones?" and others asked, What does the J stand for?"
 These questionings will not go long unanswered All prospects point the conclusion that before the campaign gets really red hot the fused candidate of the Third District will be of the bestknown men in the commonwealth. He promises to furnish the humor of the contest. It will soon be common say ing that Mr. J. Aubrey Jones is the most conspicuous bird in the woodpecker campaign and to any in- quiring what the ] stands for the will be prompt The jay is standing for Congress-
 To the gayety of the season MT. Jones, enraptured by what he has been pleased to call 'honors spon- taneously extended" has already contributed much In his letter of thanks for the nomination 1t requires the fullest exuberance of his vocabulary to describe his position it appears to himself T am," he says 'the candidate of the Peoples party the Democratic party and the Silver Republican party" In another place he says, T the honored nominee of all the people in the Third District who opposed to Han naism." Finally he sums up, 'I a two-tmes noni- nee"
 To be so many kinds of nominee all at one fell swoop would be bewilderng to some men, but 1t has not been so to Mir ]. Aubrey Jones. T would not" he says, vaingorously ascrbe my preferment to any merit of my It IS only because of the principles which have earnestly espoused and which 1 shall advocate honestly and fearessly The clear distinc ton thus made by MT. Jones between his merits and his jealous advocacy of certain principles shows that even in his rapture he retains analytical mind and does not ''chortle in his joy'
 It appears moreover that in addition to the delight Of being two-tirnes nominee Mr J. Aubrey Jones has further for excitement in the comparative novelty o his situation and the freshness of his new relations He says because of these principles which he so markedly distinguishes from his merits that he left the party of Hannaism in 1896. He has therefore been wooing his new bride only two years and, having her fused favors in so short time it is certain he has to plume himself and show up as the gayest jay that ever stood for Con gress in a woodpecker campaign.
 Altogether Mir. J. Aubrey Jones promises to be de- ightfu, and if he speaks richly as he writes the campaign in the Third District is going to be merry one. We wish the hunor-lovng people of that district better fun than that the fused factions will keep their two-time nominee and fresh recruit con- tihually on the boards in two-time role as writer and orator.

The roar of battle was at its height. When the generals orderly spurred in
 sight
 His right arm shattered, his brave lips
 white
 Forward, stannard's brgadeI" he
 cried
 "Join Sherman's left at the riversideI' We sprang like wolves out of covert then, A thousand desperate fighting men, Held In leash since the break of day Woe to the obstacle in the way! "Marchl Double-quick, boys!" Stannard
 cried,
 So we thundered down to the riverside. There sat Sherman, as grave and dark As a bronze general in a parki Behind him rank on rank of blue, Waiting to see what he would do; And the swollen river had drown'd its
 banks,
 That days. victory or loss Hung on getting his troops across. One maneuYer-but one, he knew Could save defeat for the boys in blue, Yet here was a barrier worse to pass Than granite ramparts and gates ot
 brass.
 The generals face his anguish showed. As we fell in line by the muddy road, The engineers on the rivers brink Stood talking-they had no time to think What was done must be done at once' Suddenly out of the smoke somewhere, Shoeless and hatless, with flying hair, A boy came running. Please, sir, he
 cried,
 I'll get your men to the other side!' Sherman looked down on the little chap As a dog might look at mouse, mishap; Then. with quiet smile, he said, Well, young wizard, just go ahead! The boy looked round with blush of "Lend me your muskets, menP' he cried. And H1osy you shall cross on bridge of "Ha!' said Sherman, from head to heel Scanning the lad with his piercing eyes; Brains aren't indexed by age or size. Here's a strategist, 1t appears, Bigger than all my engineers. Sharply the generals order rang; Quick to the stringers the workmen Muskets gathered by stacks. by tons. Mighty heaps of the shining guns. Spiked with bayonets, side by side, Driven deep in the stringers. wide; Interwoven by muZzle, stock, Till an iron network firm as rock Took the place of the missing blanks: This was the way that the eager ranks Laid their guns; at the boys command. Till the rivers rushing width was
 spanned.
 Then, as over the bridge we filed, Batteries clanking and horses wild, What cheers went up for the barefoot
 child
 Sherman, barring his honored head, Stopped where the hero stood, and said, Master workman, you've struck, to-day, A better blow than my poor sword mayf'i History tells what happened then. cr At the timely coming of Sherman's s men; Without that charge we had lost the The field,-the cause, perhaps-who can
 say?
 Here then, a tribute-a laurel spray For the brow of the hero whose timely
 thought
 Such deathless good for his country
 wrought
