Color Of the Eyes.

It is not generally known that the
eyes Of infants are always blue, and
that they do not begin to assume their
permanent color until the sixth or
eighth week. There is, therefore,
truth as well as poetry in the state
ment that babies look about them in
"blue-eyed wonder The wonder
may be left to poets and philosophers,
but the blue is always a practical fact.
It is not uncommon to see different
colors in the eyes Of the same person,
and even in the same eye half of the
iris Is sometimes brown and the other
half blue. There is a popular notion
that dark eyes are stronger than light
ones. There is no truth in this except
so far as they are better protected
against excessive light. Hence, light
eyes prevail among northern nations

Methods Of Presenting the News to

(From the Alameda Encinal)
1t would seem as though the news
paper correspondents at Sacramento
had been sent there with instructions
to see how much space they can
cover with their reports, and how thin
ly they can spread them out Each
of the big papers gives pages and
pages of the dreary stuff, through
which one searches in vain to find
some concise statement of the situa-
ton.
After the foregoing was written the
Sacramento Record Union" came to
hand, and in it we found a clear, con-
else statement of the work Of the con-
vention, occupying a moderate space
and giving as briefly as possible the
entire state Of affairs. The Record
Union is to be congratulated upon not
having been carried off by spread-eagle
sensationalism or typographical hys-
terics. It is a positive relief to the
eye and the mind to go to it's columns

acrobat who has tumbled and con-
torted in every political arena where
he could gain grand entree," and it
is intended only as a temporary de-
vice to defeat the Republican party
whose roots go down into history OF
the Nation, and take hold upon the
fundamental principles upon which
government should be conducted.
Meanwhile that other historical
party, the roots of which lay hold upon
substantial doctrines of government
and civil economy, the Democratic, has
been retired to hibernate in its cave,
while the winter of fusion besets the
State with chilling blasts. This inde-
pendent or fusionist party, this COM
mixion of unnixable elements, this
experimental and temporary party, LED
by an ''ismite," who has burned his
Democratic bridges behind him, and
built as yet none of Populist or Re
publican timber that will carry him
over the streams he approaches, IS
ephemeral, organized solely to defeat
the party of forward looking, of fear
lessness, of progression, of upward
movement, of expansion, of betterment
having a proud past and beckoned on
by a glorious future.
That defeat and the division OF the
spoil are the sole aims of the new in
dependent party, and these accom-
plished it is provided that it shall fall
apart of its own grossness. To the
support of such a fusion of the nom
fusible, Republicans are implored to
come and render assistance in razlng
the house Of their fathers.
To such temporary party. which mas
no hope of posterity and can look back
upon no ancestry, Republicans are be-
sought to come, that Maguireism, sin
gle tax ism, socialism, common and
State ownershipism and a host of other
isms fathered by a bastard clique for
predatory purposes may be promoted,
and the elevation into a place OF trust
Of the permium misfit James G. Ma
guire be accomplished. AS we said
in 1876 so we say to-day, when such
an event becomes feasible it will mat
ter very little what the name of the
rising party happens to be, for patriot
ism and popular sincerity will then be
dead.

When the Democratic-Populis
ton which met in this city on the 18th
of August resolved fiercely against i'm
perialism, but insisted in the same
breath that what we take we must
hold on to, despite the vice Of imperial
assertion, it sang to all sides. Why
not have been bold and truthful and

The Tulare Register" well says that
the late Democratic State Convention
platform was not Democratic. Neither
is it Populistic. Neither is it Repub-

nor a Populistic platform. All these

The United States and Spain are
bound by the requirements of civilized
warfare, the code Of military honor and
the moral obligations imposed upon ma
tions, TO investigate the outrageous
conduct of the Spanish troops at GALES,
Porto Rico, where a band of Spanish
soldiers after surrendering fell upon
the unhappy people of that town and
massacred eighty human beings, and
committed unspeakable outrages upon
women and children. Very naturally
this horrible affair has fired the native
Porto Ricans and they in turn are fall
ing upon Spaniards wherever they can
find them, and arson, murder and out
rage result. This gives the criminal
class it's opportunity, and it has taken
to the road with torch and sword also

can do to quell this uprising and pre-
serve order. But as for the Spanish
soldiers who committed the initial out
rage, both Governments should unite

Certainly they will. A most intelli-
gent contemporary referring to the
Democratic platform says: 1.-THE vot-

fact that established political organi-

The San Diego Union" says:
Political fusion such as that effected
by Democrats, Populists and Silver Re-
publicans in this and other States, SIM
ply means a sacrifice of principles for
political purposes. It is everywhere
so recognized, and is commonly ex-
cused on the ground that the end JUS
titles the means. Chairman Afford S
labored efforts in the convention at
Sacramento, to place the ethics of the
combine in a different light, were vast
ed entirely. Candid fusionists will
frankly admit that the arrangement
looks to the capture of the offices and
TO nothing else.
That is an unexaggerated and calm
statement Of the exact truth. When a
man sacrifices principle for pelf, he
loses the respect Of his fellow men.
The inexorable social law has precisely
the same application to party.

BIRTH OF AN ISLAND.
Crew of the BrecOnshire Tell of "a
Remarkable Phenomenon.

Philadelphia, Nov S.-An island was up
heaved on the night of September Is. in
the southern part of the Indian Ocean,
according to the captain and crew Of
the British steamer Breconshire which
has arrived here from Java with cargo
of sugar
The man on outlook, according to the
captain, about 4 O'Clock in the afternoon
of September IS saw cloud looming up
directly ahead. The clouu spread until
the entire horizon ahead was obscured by
"A wall of Vapor. into which the captain
did not dare to enter until the next MORN
ing, when he would have rourteen hours
of daylight ahead OF him.
The steamer hove 10 and the sailors
terrified by the unusual vapor waited anx-
iOusly for the next day TO come. The
moon came up, and by its light the sea
was seen to be smooth as glass. Shortly
after 10 O'Clock that night a booming
sound was heard about miles to the
northward.
At the same moment, borne upon the
bosom of an immense wave the Brecon-
shire mounted vertically to point at
least twenty feet above her former posi-
tion on the ocean bed and 10 the accom-
paniment of an immense upheaval of wa
ter an island appeared to leeward where
all previously had been but the sea and
sky.
The suddenness of the event almost de-
prived the crew of their senses, but they
had little time 10 comment on the phe-
nomenon. being obliged TO look to the
safety of the vessel Ii was many anX-
ious moments before that safety was as
sured. but apparently though nature
had exhausted herself the sea in few
moments returned again to its wOnted
tranquility and the looming clouds of va
por disappeared.
When day dawned a clear view was af-
forded of the island. and its volcanic orr
gin was clearly established. 1t consisted
of vertical columns of hard mineral ar
ranged with wonderful geOmetrical eN-
actitude resembling very strongly the pic
lures of the famous Giants Causeway. 1t
was found 10 be only a small island, pos
sibly not more than one-quarter of a
mile in circumference and at its highest
point not at a greater altitude than 100
feet. In all probability the new island
has been in formation for many years
below the surface, and only by an up
heaval of extraordinary intensity did it
emerge above the surface.

ACCIDENT OR MURDERP
Body of Missing Constable Found
Buried in the Mud

Railway, n. j., Nov. S.-The body Of
Constable John Dowiing. who has been
missing from Carteret for over a week,
was found by Philip Dumbleike lying
face downward in a stream in the rear
of Joseph NJ. Porter's residence on lower
Main Street. This is one of the hun
dreds of small streams that flow through
the salt meadow near here. His head
was buried to the shoulders in the mud
with his arms and legs extended, looking
as though he had been pitched headiong
into the place or had fallen from the five
foot bank in the dark. The constable s
official badge and some valuable papers
were found intact.
The body was in such state that it
was almost impossible to tell if there had
been foul play. An inquest has been or
dered.

again but adjourned without taking def
mite action, although a committee was
appointed to confer with and get the
ideas of the various stockholders. The
Comptroller of the Currency has given
his permission for the bank to reopen at
any time. The plan is either TO reduce
the capital stock from $1C0, 900 to $50. 90
and have surplus of some $4,000 or to
assess each share of stock at 80 per cent
of its face value and continue a 500 900
