WoRKMEN OPPOSE THE RACES.

THAT workmen as individuals should oppose
racing as conducted at Ingleside is not strange
That as body they should have paused in their
routine to denounce it was unexpected, and brings
into the contest element to combat the niquity
OF the debased sport and check the tide OF gold
flowing into the hands of the touts and bookmakers
The hangers-on of Ingleside, and also the managers
threaten dire things in case the Supervisors shall
carry out the expressed determination deprive them
Of their power for evil 1t seems certain that the
friendship of the workmen far valuable than
that of the gamblers That their influence is greater
and their honest opinions entitled respect there
can be no question The Supervisors setting aside
the moral aspect of the situation, we'll afford to
listen to the voice of these honest toilers.
Workmen are of the people. In the sweat OF
his brow the laborer any manual calling must earn
his bread and as he earns it, rearing family and
providing for his home out of his wage he has
right to protection against the wles of the confidence
operator He ought to be assured that while he is at
his forge bench his boy is not being robbed the
racetrack led into evil associations and trained to
career OF uselessness of crime.
There many instances known of women neglect
ing their household duties and their little ones so as
attend the races there to bet and squander the
scanty which should go for rent Shoes doing
this while the head of the house was away earning
and never suspecting that the FOUNDERS of the
tenderlon to have that same money to spend
In some cases the result has been tragedy
1t is good that the worl1men have spoken officially
Their clear and decisive words show how wide
spread is the interest in the subject and will go far
Offset the threats and caoery of the parasites of
which the community is striving to rid itself

SPANlARDS
FEARED
THE MONTEREY.

-sx created among
the Spanish soldiers when the formidable
Monterey steamed into the harbor. Under
ordars from Admiral Dewey, when the
fleet moved into the harbor preparatory
to lowering the Spanish flag and raising
the stars and stripes over the forts, the
Monterey kept we'll inshOre. The remain
der of Uncle Sans warShips, stripped 1of
action stood well out in the harbor. Every
one remembers that not shot was hred
on the city, and the Spaniards made no
attempt to damage the American fleet.
This surprised the naval officers and their
surprise was still greater when they saw
the Notifications and forts which the
Spanish failed to defend. Captain Hooper
was one of the officers detailed to go
ashore to receive the surrender of the Ma
Mia forts. In the largest and best fort
were a number of great guns which could
have done much damage to the warships
if the Spaniards had been courageous
enough to use them. The commandant Of
the fort was an intelligent Spaniard and
smoke English fluently. After the surren-
der had been made Captain Hooper sat
down to chat with this officer and during
their conversation said to him:
Pardon my question, as L ask it out of
curiosity, but why did you not fire on US
when you had such fort and such guns
as these here?"
..Well, I'll tell you why" courteously
replied the Spanish commandant You
see those warships way out there? We
saw what kind of h they raised with
Admiral Montojo's fleet. Well, you see
that thing close inshore? (pointing to
the Monterrey. We never saw anything
like it before and we did not know what
kind of h it would raise, and we did
not invite it by resisting the Americans"
Captain Hooper then gave the Spaniard
a general description of the Monterey and
her guns, at the conclusion OF which his
listener remarked:
''You Americanos are devils for building
machines to raise h with"

THE HaRBoR COMMISSION BILL,

Il ROM every point OF view the defeat OF Dickin-
sons Harbor Commission bill by the decisive
vote OF 24 to II in the Senateis commendable and
gratifying The measure was OF the kind popularity
known as peanut politics" 1t pernlclous IN
principle and would have been wastefu and offensive
in practice The Republican party can take credit
from the TACT that the bill killed by its representa-
tives
As has been pointed out by The Call, the bill was
without a single redeeming feature It political
job, not pure and simple, but impure and complex
1t bore on face every evidence OF having been de-
signed to create new offices with salaries for the bene
fit OF oice-seekers and opened way for the appoint
Irent OF an additional lot OF political henchmen to the
payroll OF the State
The character OF the support given to it in the Sen
ate was in due accord with that OF the bill itself
After Senator Boyce had made clear the facts that the
bill provided 10 remedy whatever for existing evils in
the administration OF the affairs OF the harbor but on
the contrary tended to make them by the add-
ton Of two more spoilsmen with their following Of
hungry tax-eaters, Senator Morehouse frankly de-
clared himself in favor of that kind OF thing He sup
ported the bill because it spoils bill, and made
no attempt to prove it be anything else
The better element Of the Republican party did not
lack champion reply to the advocate OF the spos
system. Senator Davis in a vigorous speech upheld
the pledges OF the party the people and declared he
in Republican platforms to be but lies. AS the result
proved he spoke the sentiment OF the great majority
OF Republicans in the Senate well as in the State
and nothing the friends OF the job had to say in
ply weakened the effect OF his mastery defense OF po
ltical honesty against obbery and the betrayal Of
pledges.
The defeat OF the bill is beneficial in many ways.
II protects the revenues of the State against the waste
of useless increase OF salaries, it tends to check
ruption in the management OF the harbor and opens
a way for true remedial legislation, it battles the
efforts OF the Burns gang to provide patronage
to be distributed in the interest of their boss, it
holds the standard OF Republican honor and marks
the taking OF an important step toward ridding Cali
fornia OF that petty spols system OF politics which has
been so pernicous to all the interests of her people
1t is now clear that this Legislature will deserve
high degree of approval from the people 1t has stood
firm against the intrigues Of the Southern Pacific and
a gang OF corrupt politicians backed by the Exam
iner to elect dsreputabe and dishonored to the
United States Senate, and in repeated instances has
shown a resolution TO give the State economical
administration. 1t has not been favorable to cnch
bills nor to political jobbery 1t has given many ev
dences of desire to keep faith with the people, and
one OF the most striking OF these was the overwhelm-
ing vote that crushed the schemes for jobbery and
Doodle involved in the Harbor Commission bill

OF all the specialists in the world. there
probably are not two that have as wide an
experience in the treatment of women's
diseases as DR.. r. V. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invahds' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N Y With
the assistance of his staff of able physi-
clans, he has prescribed, in the past thirty
years, for many thousands of women. DR.
Pierce.is pre-erninently a sympathetic ply
stefan. Perhaps more than any other man
in the profession he realizes the hardships
of woman's work, and the disadvantages
under which she labCrs because of the
weak, delicate and susceptible structure of
the feminine organism. His immense prac-
dce in diseases peculiar to women forced
upon his recognition the fact that women
would never take the proper care of their
health, so long as that care required the
repugnant examinations and local
treatments - insisted upon by nearly all
physicians. After years of study he invent
ed a remedy now known as DR.. Pierces
Favorite Prescription that is an absolute
and unfailing cure for the most complicated
and obstinate cases of diseases peculiar to
women. This wonderful medicine cures in
the privacy of the home and does away
with the necessity for obnoxious "local
treatment" 1t imparts health, strength,
vigor and elasticity to the organs distinctly
feminine and fits for wifehood and mother
hood.
