"It is not to the interests of the
Republican party that Burns be elect

defeat. The only ones to be benefited
that have heard of are the Demo-
Gratis, who are chuckling over the
possibility of the Republicans max
ing such fools of themselves.
Are there any Democrats here to-
night? Well, my dear fellow citizens,
am willing myself that you should have
any office, or that your party should,
but do spare US the humiliation and
outrage of getting into office by the
Burns route. 1t makes all good men
sick. l hope that our Republican mem
bers Of the Legislature will vote for a
Democrat before they vote for such a
man. And what, anyway, has true Re
publicanism to do with Dan Burns
candidacy? Did he ever in his life give
utterance to a word that anybody
would care to hear upon any question
of policy of the Republican party?
He is Republican for the same rea-

see good Democrat a Senator rather
than a weak Republican; and thous-

1t is singular how some men who are
not shocked at the candidacy of man
like Burns, are shocked when minis
ter speaks out for clean government
and clean men in office. This is a gov
ernment of the people as well as for the
people. When I took my ordination
vows 1 did not lay aside my obligations
to my country. I love my country and
I am proud of her history and of her
great men. I believe in California and
it's future. Being thus patriot and
citizen of this State, I protest against
my being represented in the United
States Senate by a vampire such as

cherish, or that is cherished by this
audience. His election would be a trav-
esty on good government. The very
proposition to elect him is an insult to
the whole State. His one and sole quail
fication is that he is the boss pickpocket
politician Of San Francisco. His can
didacy is possible because there is far
too little public opinion in this State.
He and his ilk have come to think that
they can do anything and the people
will keep silent.
"our plain duty, then, yours and
mine, is to form public opinion; is to
express our views in every legitimate
way and to use every possible infiu-
ence in favor of good government
and as against a monstrous political
crime like this. The future promises
great things for America, but if the
people choose leaders like Burns, rot
tenness and ruin will eventually
come to pass"

cover any opposition to the charter save
in the San Francisco delegation.

called upon Hart to discuss the suit and
&c consequences Hart congratulated
himself that fear had wrested from Burns
what gratitude would not give. The at
tornev did not know with whom he was
dealing. Burns came 10 cheat, not to
nav. He came to silence the expose Of
his own meanness, not to satisfy an OH
cation which, to an honorable man. "oulu
have been sacred.
Rurns suggested that the fairest and
quickest method of settlement would be
through the arbitration of some mutual
friend. To fair man the proposition was
fair. and Hart took kindly to II. Burns
declared that arbitration would prevent
all friction and an unnecessary exhibition
of feeling on both sides. Hart agreed,
and Burns made the remarkable sugges-
ton that ]. B. Wright be chosen as the
arbitrator The connection and collusion
between Burns and the Southern Paclnc
Company was complete, but Harts eyes
were dazzled by the CLINT of the gold
brick He accepted the terms and the ar
bitrator.
Both sides formally stipulated to leave
the whole matter to the decision of j. B.
Wright. This meant, of course, the set
Element of the suit. Hart agreed to ac-
cept whatsoever Wright decided belonged
TO him. Wright may or may not decide
that Hart was entitled TO anything. What
ever the amount may be Hart must abide
by his decision.
But Burns did not stop even here. He
exacted from Hart, as one of the terms
of the stipulation, concession that
Wright shall not submit his report until
the 9th day of this month. Hart agreed
to this and in his agreement gave Burns
lust what the willy schemer and his ally,
the Southern Pacific Company, sought.
The Senatorial contest will, in all proba-
bility be political history before the 9th
day of this month. Burns will not care
then what Hart does. The element of fear
will have disappeared, and that of cum
ming and ingratitude will remain. Now
Hart is in a position to inf1ict injury and
punishment, but then he will be powerless
to do either. He will have his gold brick,
and Burns will have the record of another
triumph that has made him despicable
in the eyes of the public and contempti-
BILE in the view of his friends.

D. w. Field came in tonight from Los
Angeles and added his name to the roll
of Los Angeles applicants for seat at

a hundred. Thus far all of the Gov

diate precincts of his own law office. and
it is understood that he is not yet done.
When he completes the list from his law
office, and there is but one name left,
then some of the others of the Los An,
geles contingent are hoping that he Will
give their claims consideration. Until
then they realize that it is useless for
them to expect anything of the Governor,

pointment which will place every man

be satisfied. Hart replied that a settle

what he could not secure. Wright reas-
sured him and urged that a mutual friend
of Burns and Hart be selected to arbitrate
the matter fairly to both. At this point
and with a promise on Hart's part to con-
slider the matter, the affair rested for a
day. Hart had caught his first glimpse
OF the gold brick and the Southern Pacific

been acknowledged by the medical pro-

Pure mothers milk is the ideal food
for infants, but, when this is out or the

closely than anything else resembles
healthy human milk, should be used.
The majority OF deaths of children
under five years is directly traceahle
To the ignorance and mismanagement
of mothers. But il is being better and
better known that the dreadful scourge

OF lactated food. In many communities
IL has reduced the ratio OF mortality OF
infants under five years. IL has entered

be too often said that IL has saved
thousands of infants lives and caused
as many more to grow plump and ac-

works of art are as interesting docu-

serving to illustrate some passage in
Sophocles or Euripides. The idea of
placing the coins of every Greek city In
a strict chronological sequence, so that
at every point they could be brought
into relations with the recorded history
OF that city was foreign To earlier
numicmatists.
