Bryan's excuse for keeping free silver
coinage to the front In the policy of
the Democratic party is this, according
to recent interview in Denver:
When a new baby is born in house,
hold the parents do not expel the other
children. Because the Democratic
party is making a fight on Imperialism,
militarism and trusts, is no reason
why we should send from our household
the other child. We should gather all
these children into our arms and fight
for them.
But when a baby dies the family
does not keep its corpse lying around
the home indefinitely. On the con-
trary, a funeral is the natural
sequence. Why not bury this dead
baby of Democraoy--free silver coinage
and thus permanently get rid Of the
fostering and obnoxious corpse9

THE BOARD ASSERTS ITSELF.

A few days ago in these columns we
the City Board of Health full power in
certain sanitary matters, the abolition
of nuisanees, the preservation of the
public health, etc. 1t was then point
ed out that all these years the Board
of Health had been playing the part
Of the bob to the Trustees kite; had
been a suppliant where it had the pow
er to command.
AT last the b. - of Health has as
serted itself u ,r the first time in
the history of = apital City we have
that scientific - sending a ccmmuni-
cation to the .ooard of Trustees which
reads 1--WE hereby direct you to take
immediate action" etc. That has the
ring of good intention 1t indicates
that the board has at last realized the
humiliating position it has so long vol
unfairly assumed, and that it win here
after vindicate itself as a coordinate
branch Of the Government to whom the
people may look with confidence. and in
trust that the public health regulations
will have the respect to which they are
entitled.
In thus directing the Board of Trus-
tees to shut off the water that will Gre
ate a current from the pestilent dumps
back into the American River it re-
cites facts which practically rebuke
the Secretary Of the Board for his state
ment before the Trustees intended to
smooth matters over, and to let that
body down easy. For the Board Of
Health distinctly, emphatically, de-
clares, that water does flow over and
through the dumps; that such a con-
dition is dangerous to the public health;
that it is polluting the city water sup
ply; that a dam to shut off the flow of
water is imperatively demanded. Evil

TWO SIDES OF A PICTURE.

The Bakersfield Californian sheds
oceans of tears over the woes of the
Filipinos, and draws a moving picture,
from the dispatches, of desolated
homes, smoking ruins of villages, of
scattered household gods. of dead ma
tives floating down the streams, Of the
aged dying for want Of care, and of
women and children fleeing for their
lives before American soldiers, and so
on, through lugubrious chapter. But
the blame for it all is loaded upon the
American people. We at home are the
responsible parties, declares OUR con-
temporary. We are to be held account
able as a nation for this war against a
poor, inoffensive people, battling for
their freedom, and for nothing else.
How noble and sentimental though
Teproachful, that would be If it were
only true-which it is not None Of the
desolation is occasioned by our men.
Aguinaldo and his soldiers burn the
towns behind them, uselessly and wan
tonly. If our shot and shell break up
a settlement or destroy buildings, it is
because the Aguinaldoites occupy them
and invite our fire. If the women and
children and the aged fee, it is be-
cause Aguinaldo compels them to do
SO, or has deluded them into fear of our
American soldiers. They could remain
in their homes in perfect safety. and
not farthing of their treasures would
be taken, or a hair of their heads be
disturbed.
Upon the insurgents themselves, not
upon American soldiers, let the blame
be laid. They are depressing no one,
snatching freedom from no one, ensaav-
ing not, and binding not. Aguinaldo In
his cunning, has led his followers to be-
lieve our men to be prosecuting schemes
of tyranny against the natives; that
Americans are brutes, inhuman and
merciless, and all that-note what is
said in the dispatches about the par
alyzing surprise Of Filipinos taken pris-
oners to learn that they will not be
butchered, but that they are to be
cared for, their wounds bound up and
their weakened frames be nursed back
to strength and bounding health Note.
also, that in the wake of Aguinaldo's
retreat the dead bodies of Filipinos are
found in numbers with their threats
cut from ear to ear. These are they
who tire of the dictator, and have
learned that the Americans mean them
only good, kindness, liberty and civil
ization.

WALLS IN THE NIGHT.

Now that the City Trustees have re-
hibiting the unearthly cries OF the
famale or other vendors in the dead of
might ON account of which many a sick
person has been robbed of needed re-
pose, it would be well for the police au-
thorities to experiment and ascertain
what effect will follow the enforceme mt
of the State law on the subject. The
Trustees refused to pass the ordinance
on the ground that the law of the State
is sufficient to meet and correct the
evil That is a broad hint to the po-
lice and they should take it at cnce.
There is nothing hysterical or nervous
IN the complaint about the tamale ven
doris cry being a nuisance as a Stock
ton contemporary intimates. We can
furnish distinct proofs of these
screeches suddenly shocking the air os
night like the wall of lost souls, having
undone ali that skilled physicians, good
nurses and loving care have accom-
plished in leading one near to death
back to health. Ultra smart people,
who think the complaint against these
disturbers of peace to be simply the
grunting of cranks would do well to
make inquiry into the facts before they
pass judgment freely.
What the Record Union" has assert
ed IN this regard 1t knows to be true.
It knows OF one notable case where q
The record-union., 1899-04-05

There is just one way to dispose of
this whole garbage crematory matter;
namely let the city build, own and oper-
ate it. Which means that the profits
of contractors will be saved; the earn
ings under a franchise be spared to the
taxpayers. OF course it is admitted
that it is difficult for a city to do as
cheaply for itself as can an individual
concern. But there is no need in such
small matter as garbage crematory,
to tie up the city with a half century
franchise, that may and probably
would become white elephant on its
hands. The present condition is this:
There is not now garbage supply suf1i-
Gent per day to pay capital to erect
works with a view to securing immedi-
ate profit on the investment. But as
the city grows there may be, nay will
be, sufficient garbage to pay for its Gre
nation for profit. That, we have it
from good authority. is the simple fact.
Under such conditions let the city
build, own and operate. Then when
cremation Of waste becomes a matter
worth conducting for profit, the city can
sell the privilege if it chooses for a
handsome sum.

what cases such compensation shall be
made, as well as the amount and mode
of payment, or it may withhold any
compensation therefor; In the absence
OF any provision upon the subject, the
juror cannot claim any compensation
for his services, and he can in no case
claim compensation to any greater
amount, or from any other source, than
is prescribed by statute. There has
never been any statute in this State
authorizing the payment of any portion
of the jurors fees I'M Sam Francisco out
Of the public Treasury
Repeats by implication are not ia
voTed in the law, and whenever there
are two statutes upon the same subject
courts will endeavor to- harmonic them
SO that if possible effect may be given
to the provisions of each. 1t is only
when there is repugnancy or inconsist-
ency between the two that the later
Act will be held to repeal the prior one.
Held, therefore, that the Act of 1890
(Stats. 1895, p. 267, establishing the
fees of jurors throughout the State,
did not repeal the provisions of the
/ Act of 1870 excepting the City and
County of San Francisco from its OPP
Grafton. or the Act of February u,
1866 prescribing the mode in which
jurors should receive their compensa-
ton, for the following reasons The
Act of 1885 does not purport to deal
with the mode in which jurors shall be
paid, nor does it contain any provision
authorizing their payment out of the
public Treasury. or fixing the source
of their compensation; but it is, as
c c40 y sv, A ,oJxr oe,-
tablish the fees of county officers and
of jurors and witnesses in this State,
| leaving unaffected the mode in which
these fees are to be paid, and other pro-
visions in previous Acts upon that sub
ject, disconnected from the amount of
their fees. 1t merely declares the
amount of their fees for each days at
tendance, leaving the mode, as we'll as
the source of payment, as it existed
prior to the passage of the Act. The
exception of San Francisco from the
operation of the Act Of 1870 left the
Act of February p, 1866 (Stats. 1866,
p. 122), in force, and the provisions in
this latter Act for the mode in which
the fees of Jurors shall be paid was a
| legislative declaration upon subject
distinct from that fixing the amount of
the fees, and in no respect inconsistent
! Herewith.
The Act of 1895 makes an express re-
peal of only "all Acts inconsistent here
with" but does not expressly repeal
the provision in the Act Of 1870 exempt
ing San Francisco from its operation.
So far as the prior Act of February 81,
1866, is consistent with the provisions
of the Act of 1885, it was continued in
force and allowed to remain the law Of
the land.

GERMS OF GRIP KILLED (!
Experiments Showing that these Deadl
Microbes Can be Extcrminated.

NAPohAAA1e Hes SuoWlng that THESE DeduAy
Microbes Can be Extcrminated.
Willard H. Morse. M. D.. f. s. S., of
Westheld. N. j., we'll known and promi-
nent consulting chemist and therapeutist,
has recently issued an important article
upon the treatment of grip. He took some
or the germs or microbes Of grip, put
thems upon glass slide under the micro
scope and killed them absolutely by a
drop OF whiskey. Such a demonstration
of cure would be sufficient for an crdi-
nary observer, but it was not enough for
Dr. Morse. He says we want also three
things First, the preventive of disease;
second. the sustaining of the powers of
the body, and, third. rendering the system
unfertlle to germs or bacili. Therefore, he
says, to successfully kill the germs of
grip and render the body able to resist
them, 1t all depends on the whiskey."
This is putting the truth in nutshell.
But the eminent doctor goes still farther
and says:
Ordinary whiskey is either. useless or
dangerous, or both in the treatment of
grip.
"Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is of the
largest value in the treatment"
Professor Morse draws this conclusion
wholly by experiment and facts proven
under the microscope Like all scientists,
he comes to his conclusion only after
testing and proving and does not attempt
