OUR NOBLE BATTLE-SHIP.

FROM reports given of the naval battle off San tago by officers of the American fleet it appears that while all the ships bore their part nobly and all the crews performed their dangerous duty with conspicuous courage the chief praise and honor are due to Californian built battleship the Oregon This special praise and honor is in no wise reflection upon other ships ot the fleet How ever good all may be in any particular company, there IS always better than the rest. In this the superior one was the Oregon, and the superiority seems to be like that of Saul among his brothers:
 head and shoulders above the rest"
 From the outbreak of the war to this time good fortune has afforded the Oregon opportunity to display her incompatible excellence as battle ship. These opportunities have put her to tests and had she been weak in any part or particular they would have been accounted misfortunes rather than good fortunes for her. She was first tried by a long voyage around the Horn and found to be as good an oceang going craft met the winds and waves with frolic welcome Next it fell to her lot to carry the first company of Americans to land Cuban soil Finally if no honor was to be denied her. she had the glory at Santiago of fighting four Spanish ships at
 All of these opportunities added to the glory of the Oregon simply because she able to profit by them master them and compel them to serve evil dences of her superb qualities. The conspicuous part she played at Santiago not due to chance. As matter of fact the Iowa from her position at the time the Spanish fleet emerged from the bay had the better chance of distinction since she the nearest of the American fleet and got in the first shot The Oregon however the first to get up steam and by her superior speed managed to cut out the Iowa and get the place of honor in the forefront of the running battle for herself.
 The brilliant honors of the Oregon reflect equal honor upon the working shipbuders of San Fran cisco. The brawny, earnest men, whose unknown to fame, who constructed the big ship and who put good, honest, patriotic work into her from the day her keel laid until the day she turned over to the Government completed ship the men to whom honor belongs for her glorious record. Give as much credit as we may to her officers and her seamen, their skill could not have carried her through the stormy around the Horn if she had not been we'll built, she could not have stood the cannonadng of four Spanish ships in succession if her plate had not been put on well and strong, neither could she have stood the strain of the firing of her big guns if there had been weak spot of careless workmanship any part of her hull or machinery.
 When we give honor to the noble Oregon. there fore let us forget the workmen of the Union Iron Works They built ship that has to-day prouder record than any other battle-shp the globe, and San Francisco is proud to claim them her

POLITICAL GASTRONOMICS.

IS characteristic of the Popuhsts that at the be- l ginning Of every campaign they look around for \ somebody to swallow them. The delegates to the State convention Of the party which meets at Sacra mento to-day have for time been discussing the situation with view to being deposited by the Demo cratic organization where the whale deposited Jonah They have idea Of swallowing the Democracy They realize that 1t is their mission earth to be eaten and they subject themselves the process with a self-sacrihcing spirit which, in less Imaginable party would be subnely heroic.
 It is also characteristic of the Populsts that they generally quarrel over the meal that made of them This due to the circumstance that among the dele gates to every Popuist convention there always number of who do not want offices and who, con- sequently devoted somewhat to principle. These men continually object to being swallowed by any body. They believe their only hope of political suc consists in maintaining single flag pole with separate set of nailed colors Some of them know from experience that when the Democrats swallow them at the polls only results in Democratic officehoders. They also know that there can be no assimilation of principles in political parties, if it possible for a swallowed party to get any of the offices after election; and they always object to being swallowed. At Sacramento to-day the anti swaowers will be called middle -of-the-road Popu- lists.
 we Tec1 to tneSe HdIteIS, nOt because they are III any news but for the purpose of calling atten ton to the tendency of history to repeat itself. The Populist national convention in 1896 was not swal- lowed but it downed at single gulp the Presidential candidate of the so-called National Democracy The result of the attempt to swallow half-breed Popu- list arrayed in Democratic vestments was over whelming defeat at the polls. Bryan and the Wat son-Sewall combination, freak ticket with two tails, ended where it should have commenced-in a museum.
 At Sacramento oday the Populists evidently intent on repeating their history. They going to eschew the gastronomc necessity of their existence as their predecessors did at St. Louis, and nominate a half-breed Populist for Governor-James c. Ma guire Later on the Democrats will choose the same candidate and thus again the political rag tag and bobta of the State will enter the campaign with two-taed freak ticket.
 It is said that Mr. Shanahan, Governor Budds Code Commissioner, is pledged to defeat this pro- able to do Next to being swallowed by office seeking organizations of politicians the chief end of Populism is to place before the people freak tickets ticket with two tails will be too great tempta- ton for the Sacramento faithful. Even middle of- the-road logic will suffice to distract the attention Of the bewhiskered party from such delightful situ- ation. The fact that Bryan lost similar com bination signifies nothing The Populists in re- spect resemble the Spanish The only way to get an idea into their heads is to beat in with thirteen inch gun.

YOU MUST REGISTER.

~ IL citizens who desire to vote at the coming / \ elections must register. Former registration does not count The necessity of registering anew applies to everybody. That fact does not to be generally understood, for although general registration has been in progress for upward of five weeks only about Sooo of the 73ooo voters of the city have attended to it.
 The old maxim go early and avoid the rush" is particularly pertinent the duty of registration. It is task that requires little time to perform, ton find themselves compelled to wait in the office long time before they get their recorded.
 That has been the case in every general registration in the city There people who put everything off to the last moment, and their name is legion. That class crowd another at the registration of flee during the last days and make tedious work of what could have been readily and quickly done had they attended to 1t earlier when there rush.
 It should be borne in mind that registration closes August and that time flies fast. Of the total Der of citizens who will have to register to vote only about per cent have attended to 1t up this time. That that 6o,ooo voters will have regis ter between and the closing day. As the time grows shorter the rush will increase and the crowd at the office will augment That means the neces- sty of waiting in line will become more certain, and the waiting longer with the passing of each success sve day.
 word to the wise should be sufficient Register now. To-day will be better for the purpose than morrow and tomorrow better than next day. By attending to the duty at your registration be made in five minutes. By postponing 1t until later it may take you half day get to the desk. Get your name on the register at once.

A HERALD OF DARKNESS.

N SALT LAKE paper, the existence of which we / \ cheerfully make known outside its township, and called therein the Herald i'll recent issue contributed to the gayety and likewise the misin- formation of nations by an attack The Call and its proprietor in which The Call is accused of being the latest ally of Spain" and of expressing its con- tempt for American volunteers"
 The Salt Lake paper probably has all seasons for lying and the feculent exhaations from its columns indicate that the name of the president of its company has no lid.
 The Call is too busy in the promotion of the Red Cross and other public activities and patriotic expres sons to traverse the Salt Lake organs emanation of the pulseless emulsion which it mistakes for brains
 The red coal which seems to have touched its rep tilian nerve found in The Calls criticism of po ticans appointed to military commands without the soldiery training taste experience 10 qualify them for positions in which the lives of thousands of depend upon the training to and tactics of their leaders. Oddly enough the Salt Lake fellow speaks of Ben Butler ideal general lifted from civil life to command at the beginning of the Civil War. While Butler was probably the best or the cornstalk generals, yet he and Banks and the other politicians cost the lives of thousands of volunteer privates by their ignorance of the art of and their ncapacity to acquire it in actual service.
 It is the opinion of the Salt Lake organ that igno- rance of military matters and lack of training therein no bar to commission to command troops. Its models for officers are frankly announced to be Mr. Hearst and William J. Bryan!
 One can fancy the pleasure of the seasoned Spanish officers at the prospect of being called to meet armies led by such commanders!
 An investigation of the list of stockholders of the Herald Company reveals the cause of its misery. Confirmed idiocy and ncapacity had reduced it to beggary and backmal and few silver mionares took it under shelter. The wandering magdalen has waxed on three meals day and now wants admission into society "lydy." Remembering Messrs Bryan and Hearst acquaintances of old days they are naturally commended as "gents" for whom noth- ing is too good.

 o TWO DOSES q O OF SUPREME o
 HAPPINESS. V

O o O O O and 1t Is an ex- perience which-strange to say-he does not wish to have repeated. Yesterday pr. Kenyon told Joe that he was a father to such a boy as the world never saw before Joe was so delighted that he started down the street at once to an nounce the event in person. Ten min utes after he reached the city's main thoroughfare every man, woman and child knew that an heir had been born to the house of Kerr. All Joe said as he walked down the Tine" was tits boy" No further explanation was given. In one of the gilded palaces where Joe was portraying the future for his 2-hour son the telephone startled him from prophetic indulgences, and it was discovered that Joe was the party wanted by the person at the other end of the line. It was the doctor attending his wife who wished to speak to him. Joe was advised to come home at once as something very import ant had happened. Joe lost no time. He was out of that place in a second and had boarded the first car home in less time than the telling takes. He did not even wait for the car to reach his house, but left 1t two blocks before 1t arrived there and ran the rest of the distance like a wild man. The doctor received him at the door, and after Quieting Joe somewhat he told him he had very interesting thing to show him. Joe was taken into a dark room and was advised to look on the bed. He did so and some thing like the following came from his lips: Hello, what in the world is this. This Is my boy, but who in the deuce is that stranger. Take it away. I don't want him next to mine. Get it out of here" Then he ceased his diatribe for a moment and appealed to the doctor: Doctor. tell me. if you love me. are there two kids there. I don't see double. do I? Now don't keep me in suspense!"
 The doctor said there was only one, but Joe was convinced of the correctness of his perceptions and he persisted that there was another. a stranger, in the new crib. Whose Is 1t? When did 1t come and who put it there?" Joe continued
 The doctor was forced to answer: Joe, my boy, it is yours also It was born two hours after the other. There are now in San Francisco Dewey and Samp- son Kerr"
 Joe is thoroughly happy, but let no man wish him many happy returns of the day.
