DOWN THE LINE

Some Sweets support of the sugar
for Grant trust and the admin
istration. If the young
man only had as weighty influences inside
the state as he claims outside he would GER
tainly be elected. There is National Com
mtteeman Dick Kerens, there is President
Ripley of the Santa Fe, there is now the
sugar trust and President Mckinley; but
how many members of the legislature arc
there! All, yes; there is something else;
there is the report that Mr.. Grant intends
to move to this city This comes a little
late to catch the support of the Los An
ge.es members, but perhaps not too late to
make the San Diegans DO some thinking.
Mr. Grant, / was told last week, has been
negotiating for the Downey property on
Main street and has talked about other in
vestments here.
Meanwhile the knowing ones are talking
nothing but DE Young. John w. Mitchell
yesterday bet even
Cinch for money that De Young
De Young would get the seat,
and this though he is
an ardent Bula man. Mitchell is response
BILE for the appointment of Bulla to the code
commissionership as a result OF the fight he
made to have the appointment come to this
part of the state, ard presumably Bulla
knows this. But while the Cahuengan
would like to see Bulla succeed, he seems to
know that the denouement is billed other
wise, and he comes pretty close to being next
when it is question of such information.

The Endorsement of Judge Winder by the
bar association was deserved compliment,
but it is fact such
Wlnoer's Endorsements, judging
Endorsement by precedent, are not
often effective. There
was Meserve. for instance. who had an al
most unanimous Endorsement during Mark
hams administration for vacancy, but
York got there with ease. This was perhaps
due to the fact that McLachlan worked for
him, and it is said by those who are not
enamoured of the ex-congressman that when
he found how easily his pole knocked the
persmmon for his man that he was nearly
tempted to pick up the prize for himself
Some of the other candidates for the va
cancy remembered the result of previous
similar Endorsements and made no effort to
secure it. The outcome will tell who was
wisest.
A leading educator of the city handed me
the following clipping yesterday, with the
request that it be
1outnful printed as an example
Precocity of youthful bright
ness. He did not tell
me from what paper it was taken. so | can
not give credit. 1t was written by Den
Yer boy, years old. 1t is good story and
has a moral. 80 that it can be commended to
any and all readers:
A poor young man fell in love with the
daughter OF rich lady, who kept candy
shop. The poor Young man could not
marry the rich candy lady's daughter be-
cause he had not enough money to buy
any furniture. A wicked man offered to
give the young man twenty-five dollars
ii he would become drunkard. The
young man wanted the money very much
so he could marry the rich candy ady's
daughter. but when he got to the sa-
loon he turned to the wicked man and
said: II will not become drunkard.
even for great riches. Get thee behind
me, Satan On his way home he found
pocket t-book containing a million dol
lars in gold; then the young lady con-
sented to marry him. They had beauti-
full wedding and the next day they had
twins. Thus You see that virtue has its
own reward"
A candidate for the vacant judgeship might

the courts from the firm of 1rask & Bck-

who would support Mr.. Trask but for this
one fact. He is also probably making too
much money where he is to permit such a
change to be possible. Senator Del Vale,

BY the way, one of the most absurd stories
Of the year has been circulated about these
appointments. Some
