The Best Hour.

Got down on the floor here. daddy,
Get down on the floor and play"
AM LIN. Is the song my baby
Sings to me at close of day.
Get down on the floor and tumble,
Get down wi,n me, daddy. do
Get down on the floor now, daddy,
Me ants TO sit down on you.''
Ihen overheard goes the paper,
And down on the floor goes dad
ana onto him Chambers baby
ana baby is more than glad:
AND daddv's horse and wagon,
Or daddy's ship at sea.
And rolls with a little baby
AS happy as she can be.
Yea, rolls with the babe and tumbles,
And grumbies. and haws. and gees,
Ana always dimpled baby
=, with rounded and dimpled knees
Sits perched aloft, unfearing
And laughing with childish glee
AS the daddy ship goes tossing
And tumbling across the sea-
And. oh. but that ship is careful;
The waves may foam and curl,
But never the ship goes plunging
TOO much for the baby girl,
And never the horse gets fractions
Or plungeS or jumps aside
SO much as to mar the pleasure
OF the wee little girl astrde.
oh, good is the hour of cleaning,
When labor is put aside
And daddy becomes horsey
A wee little girl may ride.
Or daddy becomes a plunging
Big ship on the stormy seas,
And is guided and captained onward
BY baby with dimpled knees.

It is reported from New York that 'he shrinkage in

the nation is aroused at this uncture 1t is because the

THE BooDLERs' NEWSPAPER ALLY

Now ntimation both from Sacramento and
San Francisco that the senatorial boodlers not be
expelled. Speaker Prescott of the assembly has
pressed the opinion that the Legislature will adjourn
March 4.
There is no appearance of hurry about bringing the
boodlers to book and every day delay in their
favor They still retain their seats they taking
part in making California laws.
Have they enough senatorial friends to stave off
action in their until the end of the session? If
they have such backing all that has been done in their
case so far the senate, will be nugatory.
1t is intmated in Sacramento that senators inclined
to aid the booders may in the demurrer filed in the
criminal court pretext for voting against expulsion.
The claim is set up in to the Indictment that
there could been bribery in the technical
since at the time when money is alleged to have been
paid the four senators there legislative sub
ject matter before the committee of which they
members"
1t would be like graspng at straws for an excuse to
vote against expulsion such ground but the
may be made to answer the purpose nevertheless Each
house the legislature right pass the
fitness of members to retain their seats regardless of
such technicaties. But "any port in storm-any
excuse in emergency.
That the question is quite seriously considered at
the capital is apparent from view of Sacramento
Union: I the freely declared opinion of law
yers yesterday that the attorney for the defense had
hit upon sound point of technical law and that in
consideration OF 1t the accused senators might possibly
escape criminal prosecution
In discussing this phase of the case the San Fran
cisco Bulletin says: "The point raised by the advo-
Gates of booders is the siiest of subterfuges No
in the senate has any doubt of the guilt of the
Examiners four pet solons. Of course the corrup-
tionists, having resolved vote against expeng the
four of their number who caught will seize upon
the msy pretext that the Examiners booders not
permitted to add perjury to their other crime"
he specific charge is made by the Bulletin that "a
couple of senators controlled by the Examiner and
willing disgrace themselves have announced that
they will oppose the recommendation to expel the four
boodlers'
AS The Herald has pointed out before the votes of
only ten senators other than the boodlers would be
sufficient to prevent expulsion If there smirched
senator's yet publicly suspected there will be the
strongest personal for their sticking the
boodlers in the emergency.
But no technical excuse will fool the people of Cali
fornia Every who votes against expulsion will
be thereafter marked man. his political doom will be
sealed and he will be ostracized by all honest
citizens.
AS for the San Francisco Examiner, it may be said
as it's Angeles appendix that it is immune from
injury to it's character for the best of reasons.
