THE GOOD OLO WAY.

Democracy never was much
troubled on the question of civil
service reform. The only reform
worth inaugurating in the estima-
ton Of the members of that party,
consists in turning republicans out,
and putting democrats in their
places whenever and wherever they
get all opportunity. At the last
election Marin county went demo
cratic. The board of supervisors is
democratic by two to three, for the
first time in twenty years. ANA
dor county went republican in the
same ratio for the first time in ten
years-barring count-outs. But
democracy, for the good of the
party, believes in a strict applica-
ton of the doctrine of TO the vic
tors. belong the spoils." They
would have applied this in Marin
county months ago had they been
able to settle on the faithful few who
were to be honored with the emolu-
ments of office. A press dispatch
from San Rafael says that at the
meeting of the board this month by
strict party vote, Mrs. A. ].
Saunders was removed from her
position as superin tendent and
matron of the county poor farm and
William Jones, a democrat, elected
to the position of superintendent,
while his wife was given the Office of
matron. At the same time V. Guide,
stanch republican, who for years
has been gardener and jauitor at the
court house, was taken off the pay
roll, and his place filled by H. A.
Ames, another good rustler after
democratic votes. The slaughter
was then discon tinued, but it is
understood that the stoppage is only
temporary and that other heads are
doomed to the basket. Civil service
is not bothering the democratic
majority and the faithful are clamor-
ing for their reward.
Republicans are not blaming them
for thus acting. They expected just
such an outcome of democratic sue
cess at the ballot box. The much
Wanted civil service reform was
never intended to apply to such of
fees. 1t is absolutely essential that
subordinate places be given as the
reward Of faithful party service.
The officials who undertake to turn
down this principle will be apt to
find out-perhaps when it is too
late-that they are simply tur ming
down themselves.

McKeesport.

The following article, taken from the
Atchison Globe, should be road by
every man interested in strikes, and
should be read by that yellow journal,
the Examiner, which is doing all it can
to injure, not only San Francisco, but
the entire state of California. The
article should be read also, by the
miners and others at Jackson, who
have been trying to organize unions
here.
''The town of McKeesport, Pa, was
made by the steel companies. When
the strike of the steel workers was or
dered, Mayor Black, of McKeesport,
came out in an interview siding with
the strikers. He did not attempt to be
fair; he simply wanted to stand well
with the men who had votes. He was
in favor of anything; rioting, burning,
shooting; anything to stand we'll with
the strikers. The owners of the steel
mills thought that this was rank in
justice, and began tearing down
their mills, with view of removing
them. The mayor then found he had
made mistake. The people of Nc
Keesport blamed him, and he is now
trying to square himself Instead of
counseling moderation, justice, arbi-
tration, fairness, and common sense
he became a ranting fool, and talked
nonsense that even the sensible strik-
ers thought disgusting. A glance at
the social and economic conditions of
McKeespOrt shows that the city was
in the most prosperous condition of
any place of its size in Pennsylvania.
The daily pay roll of the sheet steel
mill that is being moved away is at
least Sc, 600, or 81, 800, 900 year. The
daily pay roll of the National Tube
mill, that may be moved away, is s27,-
600, or IS, sos, 600 year. This sum of
$40, 1895, 900 is what keeps the city 60
ing. The mill hands live well and ed
ucate their children we'll. There is
none of the dirty, squalid poverty that
is to be observed in large cities. The
citizens live in good houses. Many of
the steel workers have built their own
houses. Their tables are of the best.
There are gorgeous barns, and rows of
well stocked stores, filled with the lat
est and most expensive fabrics. The
city supports three banks and a very
prosperous trust company. Three
newspapers are all making money. All
eyes are on Mayor Black, because it
was his tongue that has brought the
city to the brink of threatened ruin.
There is panic in McKeesport. Prop
erty values are tumbling, and Black is
held responsible. -

THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION.

The latest bulletins from the sick
chamber indicate decided change
for the worse in President Mckinley S
condition, as follows:
Sept. 10, 800 a.r,.-The presi-
dents condition is very serious, and
gives rise to the gravest apprehen-
sion. The bowels have moved well,
but his heart does not respond prop
erly to stimulants. He is conscious.
The skin is warm; pulse small, regu-
lar and easily compressible, at 1875;
respiration 30; temperature 100.
Gam. Condition somewhat i'm
proved during the past hour He is
responding better to stimulauts;
free from pain, and conscious. Pulse
128, temp. 1913.
At 1890 I'm. his condition was
reported as practically unchanged.

ROAD EXPENDITURES.

1t will be of interest to every tax
payer to know what amount of
money is being expended upon the
roads in this county. The road
system is confessedly the weakest
point in our local government.
Under the very best system it would
be difficult problem to handle.
Under an admittedly inefficient sys-
TEN it is a veritable sink hole for
swallowing up the public money.
We have compiled the following
table from the official records, show
ing the amount of money that has
been expended upon the roads in
the various road districts, during
the six years-ending January l.,

Calaveras Chronicle.
A young man named Leo Cordes,
living between Angels Camp and Carson
Hill, was accidentally shot with %
caliber rifle last Sunday, while on a
visit to the Airola residence, which is
about mile and a half from his home.
1t appears that Cordes, in company
with Mrs. Airola and young lady,
were spending the afternoon near the
house, shooting at a target. A shot
had been made, and Cordes was on his
way to examine the target. The rifle
was in the hands of Mrs. Airola and
when Cordes was about fifty feet away
the weapon was discharged, the bullet
taking effect in Cordes' back near the
first dorsal vertebra, and close to the
spinal column. DR.. Dorroh, the family
physician, promptly advised the re-
moval of the young man to the German
Hospital in San Francisco, on the bare
chance that an operation might save
his life. He was taken below, agreeable
to advice. but when he reached the
hospital he was in an unconscious con-
dition, and died shortly after his
arrival. The deceased was son of G.
w. Cordes, an old resident of Angels
Camp. The unfortunate lady to whom
the accident was due, was nearly be-
side herself with grief, and, as sequel
to the sad affair, tried to commit sui
eide Tuesday night upon learning of
the death. She seized gun with that
intention, but the weapon was taken
from her. She then asked for some
liquor, and while that was being pro-
cured she put some poison in glass of
water and swallowed it. Thinking
that she had succeeded in her inten-
tions, she told what she had done, but
a physician was Immediately summon
ed. and she was relieved oil the dose.
She still clings to her determination to
suicide.
