An Old Idea.

Every day strengthens the belief Of emf
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases:
twenty-five years ago this theory was used
as basis for the formula of Browns Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.
Browns Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.

THE NoN-PARTIsAN TICKET

In another column will be found an ad-
dress to the voters of the city on the
charter question. 1t is issued. by the ex-
ecutive committee Of the citizens nom
partisan convention, which nominated
fifteen citizens, whose names are set forth
In the address, as freeholders. to draft
new charter for this city.
The address recites the former attempt
Ito secure q new charter, and the disas-
trous defeat which 1t met at the polls.
1t also shows the steps that have been
taken by the non-partisan convention to
secure the selection of fifteen representa-
tive citizens for its nominees for free
holders, and it gives. list of the several
political and business bodies of which
that convention was composed and which
the names of the several gentlemen who
represented these bodies in, the conven-

The citizens non-partisan convention
lis the only convention which has been
held for the purpose Of selecting charter
freehlolders. That convention represented
the whole people of the city No other
convention has. been held for like pur-
lpose; in fact, 1t is not claimed that a
convention representing the people, or
any club, or business body, has selected
a ticket to represent the people Of the
city.
It is true there are two other tickets
in the field, and upon these tickets there
will be found the names Of several of
our best citizens, but whether with their
consent or not we do not claim to know
These two tickets were placed before the
people without previous notice to any
except the selected few, and without
! consultation with the people, and there

any consideration, present or future, of
their interests.
| These tickets have been placed before
the people under such circumstances as
Justly to arouse the suspicion that they
are fatherless for purpose, or that the
makers of them are ashamed of the meth
DDS which they have adopted to put them
before the people.
In a few days the voters of this city
will be called upon to choose between
these three tickets, and before. they vote

THE BOND ELECTION

Two duties this week will confront the
people of Los Angeles. The one, national
and patriotic, will doubtless be fully dis
charged tomorrow. The other, appealing
to local pride and public spirit, will de-
mand the attention of voters on Wednes-
day, almost before the smoke of the pa
day shall have cleared away. 1t should
nevertheless be given the consideration
which Its Importance demands. 1t re-
lates to the tunneling of the hills at the
head of North Broadway and West Third
street. and the purchase of ground for
a much-needed park in the Sixth ward.

Unfair Taxation on CIGARS

The tax on tobies or stoges, which have
been selling al an average say of $40 per
l000, has been advanced by the new revenue
law to 90 cents per 1000. which is also the
rate fixed for cigars that sell at 5000 per
1000. 1t will strike most people that cigars
should be taxed according to their quality
and value and not according to quantity.
Why should the modest and unfragrant
stogie pay the same rate as the quarter
cigar?-Pittsburg Post.

they should thoroughly acquaint them
selves with the petty political schemes,
the selfishness, the egotism and bigotry
which have actuated few individuals
to attempt to thwart the wishes Of the
people of the city by defeating its nom
partisan ticket through the instrument
tahty of other tickets, which represent
nobody and Iothing but themselves and
their copyrighted ideas of municipal gov
eminent, which have already been re-
jected by the people of this city,
Every citizen will have a voice in the
adoption or rejection of the charter. But
to the end that the document, when COM
pleted, shall as nearly as possible be a
composite expression of the popular will,
all classes and sections and interests
should be represented. The weakness of
the other tickets in this respect is shown
by the fact that upon one of them five
wards, and upon the other six wards,
are wholly unrepresented Upon one the
Fourth and Seventh wards have each
six representatives, the Third two and
the Fifth one. Upon the other the Fourth
and the Fifth have each four and the
Ninth three.
Such palpable packing Of ticket in
the interest of sections is. in itself calcu-
lated to jeopardize the success Of the
charter, whatever its merits, when sub
mitted to the popular vote.
The voters Of this city are. cautioned
that II they desire charter which shall
be worthy Of them and in keeping with
the progress of the city, and generally i'm
the interests of the whole people, they

And kiss'd sad farewell.

While shadows gray appear,

And I'll be with you. dear.

Hail, All Hail!
All hail! All hail our natal day!
We proudly greet the suspicious morn,
When rescued from oppression's sway
Our nation to the world was born.
When that dear flag in freedoms name
First futtered to the trembling gale.
Great hearts afire with patriot fame
Then shouted proudly. Hail, all hail!
Long may its colors fly afar,
Long may its prestige still increase;
Our emblem Of success in war,
OF grand prosperity in peace.
Fair symbol of our country's worth,
We raise 1t high oer hill and vale;
AS laundering DER the echoing earth
A nation shouts, All hail! All hail!
Oh, glorious flag, each patriot eye
Beholds with pride it's fair design,
AS from its silken folds on high
Those emblematic stars outshine.
What races yet unborn shall tell
Its glorious, grand, eternal tale?
What future millions proudly swell
Our shout of triumph: All hail! All hail
We love our hills and valleys free,
We love our prairies green and fair;
For in their pictured scenes we see
The sign of freedom blazoned there.
And now in freedoms name we raise
Those stars from which our foeman quail
As in a thunderous flood of praise
We raise our voices Hail! All hall!
Our Spanish foemen once despised
That flag which bravely flaunts on high
And was by heavens own hand devised
A fitting consort to the sky.
They strove to dim it's luster then,
To cloud it's stars, without avail.
So every patriot heart again
Now shouts triumphant: Hail! All hail
