1T OTHERWISE.

Burns will be where the railroad places
him. If the Southern Pacific managers
tell him to get in with CrimminS and
Kelly he will obey orders. The Call IS
in possession of information WhlCh
points directly to the conclusion that
the railroad forces are reaching out for
the control of the Democratic machine.
Burns may show a hand, but it will be
a hand raised to defeat the republican
party in the local campaign.
Everything in the political situation
indicates that the coming year Will be
a bad one for bossism. There is likely
to be an uprising of the people so earn
est and formidable that bosses and po-
litical demagogues will be swept out
of sight Many good citizens who have
acted with the Democrats and Non
Partisans in the past now look to the
Republican party s the organization
possessing the equipment of intelligence
and strength to bring about much de-
sired municipal reform. The gallant
fight made by independent Republicans
at Sacramento gave prestige to the
party While the Governor and others
of the party betrayed the people and
surrendered to the railroad monopoly a
vast majority of the Republicans in the
LEGISLATURE stood by the people. For
this unfiinching loyalty to the cause of
clean politics and good government
they We're excluded from the list of citi-
Zens eligible to places of honor and
trust under the State administration.
The political. patronage was given TO
the men who betrayed their constit-
uents, but the victory of the people
was won by the independent Repub-
licans.

BLANKET BALLOT DOOMED
Election Commissioners Are
Opposed to the Scheme.

There was an interesting coterie of poll
ticians present at the meeting of the
Election Commissioners yesterday morn
ing In the absence of Mayor Phelan.
City and County Attorney Lane presided
Commissioners Wells. Sheehan and Tilton
also being present. Alter the board had
granted Registrar Steppacher ten addi-
tional deputies the petition of the Repub-
liCan County Committee was read ask
ing for place on the official ballot and
setting forth the kelly-Crimmins scheme
of a blanket ballot. The petition was
ordered placed on file and Attorney A.
Barnard. who appeared in behalf of the
committee asked that immediate action
on il be taken. He urged that the time
was short in which to prepare the ballot
and the people he represented We're anx-
ious to have the commission pass upon
the legality of the plan at once.
Commissioners Wells and Ssleehan were
not at all anxious to take the matter up
and Chairman Lane said that as all the
political parties had not filed their petit
tions yet. and they had until p. m. in
which to do so. ii would be manifestly
improper to take any action at that time
He said the matter would be considered
soon. possibly at the meeting of the COM
mission next Monday night. but it could
not be definitely decided then.
P II. Prendergast. secretary of the
County Committee. insisted that a time
be set. He said that Commissioner Lane
had been quoted as saying that the pro-
posed blanket ballot was Illegal. and if
the others held to that view the sooner

RN every precinct of the city the
people condemn the plan of appor-
tionment proposed by Cr1mmlns
and Kelly for the Republican
County Committee. The Election
Commissioners yesterday glanced at
the unwieldy blanket. and by common
consent resolved to reject it unless the
law clearly required its acceptance
The board will probably render a oe-
cision in the matter tomorrow
The local bosses. Crimmins and Kelly,
are tryihg to convince gullible Repuoll-
cans that Dan Burns is opposed to the
blanket plan. 1t is a matter of utter
Indifference to the people of san iran
cisco whether Burns is for or against
the plan. Outside of several men ap-
pointed to office by Gage the Mexican
has no following If he should put out
a Burns ticket he could not rally
hundred electors to its support.
The public does not forget that Grim
MINIS and Kelly throughout the session
of the Legislature were ever ready TO
do the political work of Burns. 1t is
true that Gage turned down Crimmlns
and Kelly on the Board of Health ap-
pointments, but their turn down was
in a. contest for the spoilS after the
election. Bosses may fight one another
for division of patronage after the
election. but before the battle at the
polls they usually band together In

Mesa free press., 1899-03-03

We want this to reach the eyes of everyreader
of this paper. Mr. H. l.. Trundle, Dixie, Ark,
is eighty. two years of age, as hale and hearty a
man of his age as can be found in the State of
Arkansas; in fact, he looks as young as man
of sixty years. For more than fifteen years
Mr.. Trundle was slave to prostate disease.
You men who are afflicted know what it means
the days of unrest, the nights of torture and
uneasiness, the pain. the frequent calls to pass
water and the Inability to do SO. He could
scarcely get about the house, feeble, trembling
and racked with pain from head to foot.
In this condition he read the startling an,
nouncement in his paper that a marvellous new
method for curing prostate disease had been
discovered. He wrote to the address given for
full particulars, and at once obtained the
remedy; in less than ten days more he had the
satisfaction of experiencing relief. His case
was chronic, deep seated, and the chances of
recovery on account of his age were against
him. Yet sixty days of continuous use of the
famous Solvent-Alterans method cured him.
You men who are afflicted can have the same
experience if you do what Mr.. Trundle did; he
used Solvent Alterans, new-method treatment.
1t is described in two nicely written books which
you can get free of charge, by mail, by sending
your name and address to the Empire Medical
Company, 2l5 M, Smith Building, Boston, Mass.
1t won't cost you a cent to get the information,
and it may be worth hundreds to you. Write

NEW BATTLESHIP MAINE.
First Piece of the Vessels Keel Laid
at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia-The anniversary of
the blowing up of the battlship Maine
in Havana harbor. was marked with
the beginning of work on the powerful
man-of-war which will bear the name
of the historic battleship that was de-
stroyed.
The now Maine will built by the
Cramp Shipbiulding company and at
the company's yards the first piece of
the keel was laid. There was no for
mality in the proceedings, but the
shipyard was thrown open to the pub
lie, and great cheer was given by the
crowd as the group of workmen set in
place the first steel piece of the keel.
The builders will endeavor to have
the new battleship ready for launch
ing February Is, 1900, and to have her
ready for service on the third anniver-
sary of the sinking of the Maine.

not youth as his excuse for his vanity.

hear his first episcopal sermon. They
dined together afterward. and from the
politicians silence the other ought to
have known better than to push him,
but being rather nettled he exclaimed,

about my Sermon" "Well, it was
short" "Oh," said the bishop, sit is
better to be short than tedious.
"But," replied Canning, "you were
