LESSONS FROM FIGURES.
Stockton Independent: The vote in
San Francisco in favor of the constitu
tional amendments was so heavy and
the returns from the interior are so
meager that it is impossible to tell
until the official count is made whether
or not they have been defeated, 1t is
to be hoped however that the citizens
in the interior manifested sufficient in
terest to offset and overcome the vote
cast in San Francisco. If anything
were needed to convince the public of
the source of most of these amend
ments, and of the fact that there is a.
bug" concealed in each one, 1t is fur
nished in the uniformity of the vote
of the metropolis. One feature of the
vote has an important bearing on the
question of the referendum for the de-
cision Of abstract questions-not one of
the propositions has ever attracted the
attention of majority of the regis
tered voters of the State. This shows,
first, that there was no popular de-
mand for the amendment, and, second,
that the referendum is essentially, in
variably and inevitably government by
the minority, because the personal
equation is eliminated and the in
centive of enthusiasm which leads to
interest, investigation and ultimately
to intelligence and discrimination is
lacking.
A REMARKABLE FACT.
Fresno Republican: We really have
not yet grasped the full magnitude of
the Republican victory. Except during
the Civil War and reconstruction peri
DDS, when a large part of the Demo-
cratic vote of the country was disfran-
chised, there has been but a single
President since Andrew jackson who
was not apparently turned down" by
the result of the middle-year elections,
and in this one case Cleveland's first
term, the Congress was nearly lost.
Even the Mexican war made no excep-
tion to the rule in James X. Polk's
case. President Mckinley has, in fact,
received popular Endorsement such as
has been granted to none of his prede-
cessors for seventy years.

They have the queerest system i'm
Imaginable in France of handling Grim
inal. cases. The moment a man is Of
fcially or regularly accused the judicial
officers begin an inquisition, not of the
witnesses. but of the accused. He is
REQUIRED to aff1rmatively make out a.
case for himself or the suspicion of his
guilt will be deepened. If the accused
is confused and embarrassed, all the
worse for him. If he is asked ques-
tions of which he has no comprehension,
because ignorant of their purpose, and
he fails to answer them satisfactorily,
it is recorded against him, and may be
proved to his injury on the subsequent
trial. In short, the accused in France
is put into a judicial sweat box and
roasted for all he can endure. He is
a lucky fellow, indeed, who without aid
of counsel or friends does not impress
the Judges with his guilt, no matter
how innocent he may be. Take the
case of Dreyfus. The moment new
trial was granted in his case, the trial
or inquiry court sent to DEVILS Island
a series of questions to which Dreyfus
must give answer, and woe to him II
he remains mute. No matter what the
question or how blind it seems to him,
his failure to reply counts against him.
When the poor devil Of prisoner has
been toasted and worried by questions
Zone half of which embody charges and
impertinent and outrageous statements,
the Judges being allowed to use fiction
or speculation in probing the victim), he
is put upon trial, and for the first time
perhaps he is confronted with his ac-
cuser. The dispatches now say that
because of the time and cost involved
in sweating Dreyfus by mali and wire.
the man is to be brought back to
France where the Judges can get at
him more expeditiously and grill him
more successfully. Americans who have
the presumption of innocence in their
favor when accused, and are held
blameless until a crime is proved
against them, will reflect that America
is rather desirable place of residence
compared with France.

THOSE IGNORANT DOCTORS.

AT the Medical Convention banquet
one Of the speakers, doctor from an
interior county, gentleman who
stands very high in the profession, de-
clared, in discussing the water supply
of Sacramento, that water for this
city by gravitation would be a
mistake; even if brought by
gravity from Lake Tahoe it would
not be as healthful as that taken from
deep driven wells on the east side Of
the city, which he declared will be the
purest, safest we can possibly secure.
He called attention to the fact that
Marysville uses water from deep driven
wells, and even though it has to be ex-
posed in tanks before use to rid it of
the sulphur taste, it is good water and
pure, and typhoid fever in that city is
scarcely known.
The Mayor of Chico supplemented
these remarks by saying that Chico
gets her water supply from deep driven
wells. and it is one of the cleanest,
most healthful cities in the world.
Fever afflicted the place before its
water supply was improved; now for
six years there has not been a case of
typhoid in Chico.
And so they went on, one after the
other. About every delegate had a
and a good one for clear, pure water
from deep driven wells. But what
does all this amount to? Why should
this affect our people? Have they not
the advice of those official sages who
tell them that they have imbibed river
water these forty years, and the devil
has not yet laid hold upon them?
What do physicians and sanitarians
know about it, anyhow? Do not some
of our grave and reverend City Fathers
know better than these men of edu-
cation and science? Assuredly they
know the cost of pumps, and how to
expend city money for their erection.
and so what matters it what kind of
water is sent through the pipes?
Out upon these doctors. They wish
the people to drink clear, pure water
that there may be more cases for
treatment, and consequently more fees
for collection. Who would clear, pure
water drink as long as the Sacra-
mento's murky tide rolls onward to
the sea? Live, mud, slickens, porcine
essence and filth extract, and down
with the crystal streams which, leap
ing in their health giving purity, fret
the soil upon the east to escape and
gladden. the homes of men.

A TALE OF WOE.
Wilson Wants 4 Dissolution and
an Accounting.


William Wilson has commenced suit
in the Superior Court against James D.
Mccarthy.
The complaint states that the parties
were partners in the saloon and hotel
business at Isleton since 1898; that
since that time defendant has drawn
out of the business and appropriated
to his own use So, 800 and has inpeded
and injured the business; that plaintiff
has repeatedly asked for the return Of
the money without avail, and that de-
fendant has threatened to continue to
collect the partnership debts and has
possession of the books and is collect
ing them and applying them to his per-
sonal use, and will do SO unless re-
strained.
1t also states that defendant is insol-
vent and no judgment against him can
be collected; that he threatens to con-
vert the property Of the firm to his own
use and will do so unless restrained
Plaintiff, therefore, asks for the aD-
pointment of a receiver, an injunction
restraining defendant from selling the
property and dissolution of the part
nership and an accounting and division
of the property when sold according
to the respective interests of the part
ners.

PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of the Imperfect Digestion of
Food

The Result of the Imperfect Digestion OF
Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death Called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result of
imperfect digestion of food; the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di-
gest the food. The result is a heavy,
sodden mass which ferments the first
process of decay poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak and lacking in
red corpuscles; poisoning the brain,
causing headaches and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart.
causing palpitation and finally bringing
on disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stom-
ach alone for nourishment and renewal,
and weak digestion shows itself not
only in loss of appetite and fiesh but in
weak nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di-
gest food properly, because they lack
the proper quantity of digestive acids
Qactic and hydrochloric) and pepto-
genie products; the most sensible rem
edy in all cases of Indigestion, is to take
after each meal, one or two of Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they sup
ply in a pleasant, harmless form all
the elements that weak stomachs lack
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets will cure every form OF
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood
strong nerves, bright eye and clear
complexion, because all these result
only from wholesome food well digested
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at 80 cents full sized
package or by mail by inclosing price
