EZRA DOES NOT DECLINE.
Organs Undue Haste In Killing Off
a Candidate.

Friends of Ezra Thompson think that
the Lannan organ used undue haste in
asserting that that gentleman was out
of the race for mayor. Mr.. Thompson
said yesterday, when questioned upon
this point, that he was not candidate
had not been a candidate and did not
propose to be a candidate. When asked
if he would accept the nomination if
it were rendered to him, he said he did
not wish to have it rendered to him,
as he considered that there were other
men better fitted for the office, but he
did not say that he would not accept
the nomination if it were rendered to
him. In other words, he took the posi-
ton of not rushing into print to re-
fuse something that may never be Of
fered.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHy.

The marvels of the Marconi system of

late Prof Morse. If the same progress
continues to be made that has already
prevailed, 1t does not seem to the lay
mind at all impossible that, before a
period has expired equal in duration to
that which has elapsed since the intro
duction of electric telegraphy, wireless
biography will have supplanted the pre-
vailing systems.
Had these wonderful discoveries no
other practical application save the one
of the readiness with which those In

communicate with each other and with
vessels in danger OF shipwreck, they
would still have to be accounted of trans
cerdent value. II is plain, however, that
the discoveries in this direction are as

RIVER BULLETIN.
REPUBLICAN, TESTIMONY.

The G 10 b has repeatedly called at
tention to the extraordinary expenditures
which prevail in our county government,
and to the altogether remarkable methods
which obtain in those expenditures. 1t
has. for instance, laid before the public
certain of the remarkable operations OF
our county surveyor and his family as
sistants. The report Of a Republican
deputy state examiner, which we repro
duced in these columns yesterday, on that
general subject, has as its chief value the
circumstance that it represents undis-
puted and previously suppressed Repub-
Gcan testimony to the corruption which
prevails.
Referring to the operations of the
members of that distinguished household
of public pensioners, the Johnson family,
this Republican deputy examiner says:
l am satisfied from the bills and the
manner in which they are itemized, and
the fact that the work is claimed fer
Sunday and THANKSGIVING and all kinds
of services on days when other people
can't work. and two days being claimed
In one that some one should make a
thorough Investigation, and that no one
IS paying any particular attention to the
manner in which money is being eXpenu-
ed in this direction
OF course this is not new The G o b e
gave it to the public something like a
year ago, as the result of it's own in
vestigauons, without any knowledge
whatever that the ground had been so
fully covered by Deputy Examiner West.
The suppression of Nj. Vests report by
the then governor, Clough, shows just
what chance the public are likely to
have, as against the present local Repub-
lican oficeholding combine, to learn any
thing of the facts of official misconduct
and corruption.
Mr.. West says that some one should
make a thorough examination. Certainly
some one should. But who? The voters
of this city and county have turned their
affairs over absolutely to the combine.
And if the most thorough examination
were made, and facts even more convin-
cling than are already known were dis
covered. what reason is there to suppose
that dilS HlPIlDSI OIL llle COnOlue WOuIu
take the responsibility to make them pub
lie? The public records are in the abso-
lutte control of these men. The example
we have had Of Mayor Kiefer deliber-
ately throwing the shield of his silence
over the attempt to bride him, made by
a Republican member of the board of
public works, and the action of that same
member of the board in doing the bidding
Of the mayor, very plainly as an induce
ment to continued silence, show just
how much the taxpayers have to expect
Mr.. Vests report is a very shameful
document OF course there will be no at
tempt to deny its facts or conclusions
The present official conspiracy, to which
our former governor made himself a
party, at least to the extent of suppress
ing Mr.. Vests report has long been III
existence Silence is its grand defensive
policy 1t will continue until the people
of city and county alike awake to the
necessity of throwing this gang of scoun-
drels neck and crop out of the offices
which they disgrace, thus putting an end
to their careers of public plumber

MAYOR AND WINE ROOMS:

The singular statements imputed in the
public prints to Mayor Kiefer regarding
his supposed effort at enforcing his anti
wine room regulation should not be al
lowed to pass unnotced The mayor is
represented as declaring that he proposes
to consult the city attorney as to the le-
gality of proceeding against the wine
effective way of proceeding in that direc-
ton. This course is represented by him
as decided on in order to save the city
against possible suits for damages in
case his suppression Of these places is
not lawful. All these statements are i'm
puted to the mayor; and, as he has made
no denial of Them it is to be presumed
that he made them
It is incomprehensible if he did so. They
can only be the product either of dis
honesty in dealing with the public or of
gross ignorance of his official duties. The
way to suppress the wine rooms is to
suppress them. This, it is evident, Mayor
Kiefer is afraid to do. His first essay in
this direction, in bringing the foolish and
unfortunate women who frequent them
into court, was either a piece of official
stupidity or of official dishonesty Judge
Hine gave his opinion Of the operation,
and every decent man and woman in the
community who knows anything Of the
facts knows that Judge Hine was right in
his characterization.
After having committed himself to this
temporizing course, and having brought
down on himself and his imbecile police
force deserved public contempt as con-
sequence Of it, the mayor then turns to-
ward the city attorney to help him out of
the contemplate position in which he
and his administration find themselves on
to clean out the wine rooms deceived no.
body. He and his administration are too
deeply indebted to the class of saloon
keepers that maintain such places to ad-
nit of his going to work in real earnest
to accomplish his avowed purpose. 1t is
said of him that he issued his anti-wine
room order, as we'll as his order for the
closing of saloons at midnight, in anticf-
patton of the converting Of the grand jury.
We do not know about this. But we do
know, as does every person who has
watched his antics in connection with it,
that he did not issue either order in good
faith, and that neither OF them is being
enforced. We said that he sought to run
with the hare and hunt with the hounds.
We might have said that he was pretend
ing to serve God in the livery of the
devil. Whichever statement has the more
direct application to his conduct 1t is
certain that he has successfully shown
how the average Republican politician in
this community can play the moral dodge
in the pursuit of his calling.
The city attorney can tell the mayor
nothing that any intelligent citizen might
not tell him. Let him look up the defini-
ton given in the city ordinances of a dis
orderly house, and he will find a warrant
at his hand without further seeking for
putting an end to a petty infamy which
is maintained to the scandal and annoy
ance of the business community in as
MANY as a half, dozen saloons that the
mayor can see from the window of his
offices.

our ancient foe, the mosquito, deserves
mention as a fall insect, for he rarely
leaves us until frost ends his career. The
adult REQUIRES no description, but the
larvae known as wigglers, have some
curious chara eteristics. Mosquito eggs
are laid on end side by side, in raft
like cluster, which floats on the water.
In a few days the larvae crawl out at the
lower end and swim about feeding on
decayfng natter Their breathing tube
is near the tail, and they always rest at
the surface with the abdomen raised 50
as to bring this tube above water.
fringe of fiat hairs at the tip serves the
double purpose of keeping them af1oat and
of closing the breathing tube when
they dive. They soon change to
pupae, and in few days more the
pupa- skin splits down the back, the
winged mosquito crawls out very damp

dry, using his old skin as a raft. This
Is the most perilous time in his life his
tory for breath or a ripple will sink
the raft and drown the navigator; but If
ali goes well he soon flies away, ready for
business For this reason mosquitoes
never breed in running water. On the
other hand, water does not seem essen
tial to their existence, for some species
abe und on high, dry western plains miles
from damp ground or standing water. 1t
is worthy of mention that the female
mosquitoes do the singing and biting; the
males silent and inoffensive, are rarely
seen about dwellings 1t will be disheart-
enfng to most readers to learn that there
are $50 species of mosquitoes known.
