Commodore rorry's Flagship.

Manjiro Nakahama, to the test. He
was taken to the imperial palace at
Yeddo and secreted in room adjoining
that in which the negotiations were in
progress. Every word spoken by the
Americans he heard, and interpreted
to the japanese long before the official
interpretations had been officially re-
ported.
When the time came to decide on
what should be done in the way of
treaties the officials had a long con-
ference with Nakahama, and his
friendly words in behalf of the Ameri-
cans are said to have had a great in
fluence in determining the attitude of
the Japanese. Yet Commodore Perry
sailed away without knowing that that
little village school in Fairhaven had
made possible the success of his great
commercial mission.

There is a certain brilliant young
lawyer in Brooklyn with reputation
for ability in ''rattling" witnesses who
had the tables neatly turned on him
in damage suit the other day. A
prominent Heights physician testified
as to the character of the injuries sus-
tained by the plaintiff, and the young
lawyer was seeking to ridicule his tes-
timony, The physician bad said that
the plaintiffs brain and spinal cord
had been injured and that the injury
to the brain was manifested by an in
creased knee jerk.
Now, see here, doctor" said the
lawyer. going through a series of phys
ical contortions, chiefly with is knees,
what does this increased knee jerk

A SUCCESSFUL SALE.
The Power of an Advertisement When
It's Backed up by Facts.

The Red Front store has advertised
through the medium of this paper a
sale, that was to begin on Monday last.
Those who witnessed the rush at it's
doors on Monday morning, have con-
vinced themselves of the power of
printers ink.
Of course, an advertisement alone is
not sufficient when there is no body to
it. Nice words are all right, but they
do not bring the desired results unless
they are backed up by facts. People
like to trade only with those that do
what they say.
The wide circulation of this paper,
and the honesty of The Red Front s
force have helped to make their sea
son opening sale'' success.
On Monday, October eth, they
opened the store at 5 O'Clock in the
morning and closed at 1l:30 D. m. The
whole day long large bundles were
going out of the store. The es-
tablishment was crowded to it's full.
In whole, they have done on that day
a bigger business than the entire week
previous to the beginning of the sale.
Those that have now for the first
time given response to their ''ads, !"
have left the store with the satisfac-
ton that it is really ';Jackson's Cheap
est Dry Goods Store.

A few weeks ago the Ledger asked
its cotemporary to explain why the
superior judge of this county was
absent from his post of duty for two
months in the year 1900, and did not
return in time to naturalize several
persons who desired to vote that
year, although he was receiving a
salary of $500 per year to remain
here and attend to the duties of bis
Office. No answer has yet been
made, and we now also ask why the
superior Judge of this county was
absent at different periods of time
during his eight years incumbency,
which in all aggregates several
months, when receiving pay to be
here, and compelling persons who
had business before his court to go
to the expense of going to San Fran
cisco or elsewhere to procure his
services, several instances of which
could be given. Much stress seems
to be laid by the supporters of Judge
Rust on the fact that his opponent
did not return to this county i'm
mediately after the legislature ad-
journed after his pay as an assembly
man had stopped, but they are silent
when the question of Judge Rust's
many absences from the county
while his pay was going on, are men
toned. The assembly journal shows
Fred L. Stewart missed but one day
during the session while under pay
from the state, and never did an as
semblyman from this county serve
the people more faithfully. He has
lived in Amador county from in
fancy, being here long before Judge
Rust ever came. Was educated in
its schools, and left the county in.

A. Caminetti gave utterance to
some very foolish remarks in his
speech Saturday night. He not
only proclaimed from the housetop
that some mysterious whisperings
had been made about a certain
criminal transaction, thereby setting
the whole county agog to know the
nature of the whisperings alluded
to, which concerned a candidate of
his own party, and which would no
doubt have remained in possession
of small circle of tattlers only had
they not thus been thrust into the
full glare of publicity; but he made
some reflections upon the present
asses sor, J. Marchant, which we be-
lieve he is unable to substantiate.
He told his hearers that discrimina-
tion was made in favor of the large
property holders, and against the
small taxpayer; that one mine, for
which an offer of $500, 900 had been
refused, was assessed at nominal
figure. He left his hearers in the
dark as to the particular mine re-
ferred to, and for that reason alone
the charge is unworthy of crcdence
or notice. After some inquiry, we
have been informed that the old
Eureka mine at Sutter Creek, which
has been idle for twenty-five years,
is owned by Mrs Hetty Green of New
York; is probably the property re-
ferred to. This opening plea from the
democratic side is fair Illustration
of their tactics. Why mask the at
tack by indefniteness? Why select
a dormant and perhaps worked-out
mine, owned too outside the state?
Why thus make it impossible to
either verify or disprove the story?
Why did not Mr. Caminetti present
his proofs, if he has any, before the
board of supervisors in an applica-
tion to have the assessment in
creased? Is he not aware that few
years back an attempt was made to
boost this property on the assess
ment roll before the board, which
was then democratic, and the board
very properly refused to interfere.
The truth is, the assessment roll
of Amador county has been in
creased during the past four years
of Mr. Marchant's term of Office in
the sum of about $500, 900 in round
numbers, by far the heaviest increase
in one term that has been made
within our knowledge. The first year
of Marchant's term the assessed val
uatfon was swelled to the tune of
half a million dollars. 1t is well
known that this increase was not
due primarily to any actual rise of
value, but rather to an effort to
equalize the burden of taxation, by
raising town property and produc-
ing mines. 1t was the only system
attic effort ever made by an assessor
to face~this difficult problem. And
now comes the democratic speaker,
at a time when only one mine in the
county, is on dividend-paying basis,
and tries to make party capital by
advocating increased assessment of
the mining industry, upon which,
more than all other interests COM
bined, the prosperity of Amador
county depends.

Great Register.

The number of names on the great
register OF Amador county is 1886
against 3166 on the register of two
years ago. This shows an increase of
80, which, on basis of one voter for
every four persons, would indicate an
increased population of $50. It is prob
able, however, that the increase in the
electoral roll is partly owing to a closer
registration of voters. The candi-
dates for Office would naturally take,
and in fact have taken, an interest in
getting every man on the voting list.
The voters of two years ago were dis
tributed among the respective town
