THE BANE OF OUR POLITICAL
SYSTEM.

Party service Is not often rewarded
with the emoluments of Office. The
most faithful in the republican party
to-day are not office seekers. Office
seekers, as a rule, arr the trimmers
of the party forces. They like to
straddle issues, and act in the same
way with POLITICAL workers. They are
republicans or democrats, as the case
may be, for gain. Self interest sways
them in all things. These characters
constitute the actual and would be
bosses of the party. They want men
in office who will be subservient to
the interests of the bosses, rather
than true to the principles of the par
ty. Principle is a secondary matter
with them; policy is paramount. They
have no use for men who place prin-
ciple above everything else. Is it
politic, rather than is it right, is the
uppermost question with them. This
is machine politics, the bane of our
political system. Men of this stamp
band together to retain control of ap-
pointments and nominations. They
are not scrupulous about going out
side of party lines to accomplish their
selfish ends. 1t is true they do not
faithfully represent the rank and file
of either party; nevertheless they
manage to control things. Their life,
politically speaking, is short. A few
years at most terminates their reign,
and they are relegated to the vast
army of played outs. But the corrupt
system goes on. When one falls by
the wayside, there is always another
to take his place.
This state of affairs is perhaps the
most serious problem that faces the
country today. 1t is present in more
or less acute stage in every state il
the Union. By controlling state dele,
cations, it exerts a potent influence
upon national politics. The boss
domination cannot prevail so strongly
in national as in state matters, but
the evil influence is there all the
same. How to fight and overcome
these vicious combines is engaging the
earnest attention of patriotic men Of
all parties. The welfare of the coun
try demands its uprooting, but
whether this can be easier accom-.
plished within or without the party
lines is the perplexing question.

There will be no more fishing for
market in the trout laden streams and
lakes of Amador county. The game
law as it now stands effectuaIly squel-
ches that business pastime. Trout of
less than one pound weight must not
be sold, or offered for sale. In the
waters hereabouts the inny denizens
rarely attain such a weight. Conse-
euntly, to enjoy mess of trout from
local streams one is compelled to go
fishing himself. The gentlemen sports
of the large cities have succeeded in
shutting off the supply of he speckled
beauties from the dwellers in the
mountain counties. And this, too,
when the fish are actully smothering
in the lakes and brooks from over
population. The game law of Califor-
mia is a wonderfully absurd piece of
legislation.

We must demur, as the lawyers would

We must demur, as the lawyers would
say, to the notion that newspaper in
publishing plain, straightforward
account of a murder charge, is thereby
trying to create prejudice against the
accused, tending to prevent the defen-
dant from securing fair and impair
tial trial in the court. 1t is the bust
ness of the newspaper to furnish the
news-the facts as far as they can be
ascertained. The patrons of a paper
look for this, and the publisher would
fail in his duty if he did not defer to
this demand. The ultimate logic of
this contention is that no defendant
can get fair trial anywhere, as the
rule of publishing the facts in crimi-
nal matters is universal.

NEEDLESS MIseIvINes.

Some persons are still to be found
who honestly think that the advent
of the railroad will have prejudiciaI
effect upon the business interests of
the town. In proof of the correctness
of their views on the subject they will
point to instances in which this or
that town, according to their stand
point, has been adversely affected by
the incoming of the iron steed. A
railroad, they say, will give opportu-
nifty to residents to 60 to the larger
cities and do most of their trading,
and in this way much of the business
now done here is apt to GO elsewhere.
This has been the experience of other
country towns, and it will be repeated
here to some extent. Perhaps there
may be some grain of truth in the lat
ter contention. Of course people will
trade where they can get the best SER
vice for the least money. We may talk
about the duty of townspeopIe to pat
ronize home industry; but the fact re-
mains that self interest is the control
ling factor in such matters. This is
an elementary business proposition.
The merchant acts upon in doing his
buying. 1t is useless therefore to
urge upon anyone to trade from any
other view point. The rule which is
good for the business man, ought to
be equally good for the consumer.
But every other town connected with
the outside world with iron bands has
met the same conditions, and most of
them have thrived Notwithstanding.
Jackson can do the same. If competi-
tion wakes keener as a result of the
railroad, the live business men will
certainly face the issue presented, and
not only keep the trade they now en-
joy, but reach out for other trade
that cannot be touched at present.
To think otherwise is reflection up
on the capacity of our business men.
1t assumes that they are not equal
to the emergency We believe that our
business men will compare favorably
with those of any other community,
and that they rejoice in the advent of
the railroad as the bow of promise
that tells of increased opportunity for
them.
Some interests will necessarily be
disturbed and will suffer for a while.
This is always the case with any
change of conditions. The more rad
ical the change, the more marked
will be the temporary disturbance
But even the disturbed interests will
speedily adapt themselves to the con-
dltions, and the outcome will be that
they too will be benefited in the long
run.

A NOTABLE WEDDING.

The marriage of Baylies Coleman
Clark, to Miss Gertrude VOORHEES, of
Sutter Greek, which took place at
the M. b. church in Sutter Creek
on Wednesday, April %, at noon, was
the event of the season in the social
line here. The affair had been her
aided for several weeks through the
city and local paper. and from the
prominence of the parties had at
tracted wide spread interest, and was
looked forward to with much eclat.
A large number of invitations both
to the ceremony in the church and
the reception after at the home of the
BRIDES parents in Sutter Creek we're
sent out, with the result that it was
the most numerously attended affair
of the kind this county has witnessed
for years. We take the following &C.
count of the wedding from the ANA
dor Record:
The bride is the only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. +. C.rVoorhies and was
born and reared here. She is grad
uate of Mills seminary and lady of
many accomplishments. Her father
is d prominent and successful mining
man and an eX-State Senator, num-
bering among his friends many of
the leading men of the State. The
groom is the son of wealthy New
Yorker, and has himself been very
successful in business ventures.
The guests, who were assembled to
witness the marriage ceremony of
Mr.. Baylies CoIman Clark and Miss
Gertrude VOORHEES,, at Sutter Creek,
April 26, 1905, were charmed not
only with the beautiful decorated
church but by the exquisite music
and impressive ceremony. Half an
hour before the arrival of the bridal
party, sweet strains of music, sup
piled by Mrs. W. j. McGee, Miss Mar
garet and Mr.. Ralph McGee, and L..
j. .Clavering, entertained the waiting
guests. The Methodist Episcopal
church was most artistically decorat-
ed in Natures choicest greenery.
The entire walls back of the altar,
were hidden by graceful folds of oak
leaves, snowballs, wild IiIacs and st.
Joseph lilies. The windows were
arched with date palms and festoons
of ivy. Altogether the church pre-
sented an exceptionally beautiful
appearance. The center aisle was re-
served for the bridal party. Promptly
at II o'clock the families of the bri-
dial party arrived and were ushered
to the front of the church. Enter
ing to the strains of the wedding
march from Lohengrin, came the
bridal party led by the ushers, Mr.
Grantland b. VOORHEES, and Mr.. Roger
g. Chickering, follwed by the brides
maids, Miss Lita Schlesinger and
Miss Emily E. Chickering, attired in
green and white pointed nets. Next
came the Maid of Honor, Miss Mollie
Mathes costumed in white dotted net.
Last came the bride arrayed in an ex-
quisite gown of paune crepe and
Duchesse lace.

1t has been frequently asserted that
the blood and tissues of the savage
are purer, cleaner, and healthier than
of civilized man. 1t is claimed that
in tropical countIies-the Philippine
Islands and Zanzibar - that the
wounds of the natives heal very
readily, even dangerous wounds heal
by first intention and with rapidity
that is remarkable. Pus is frequent
ly absent in spite of dirt, filth and
total lack of aseptic precautions.
1t is because of the quick healing of
even dangerous wounds that the as
sertion is made that the blood and
tissues of the savage are purer and
healthier than that of civilized man.
1t is doubtless the outdoor life and
the constant exposure of the body to
the sun and air that accounts for the
rapid healing of wounds. The Brit
ish in their dealings with the savage
people of their colonies, gave as an
excuse for using the "dum- dunn"
bullet, which makes fearful wound,
the fact that an ordinary bullet
woundanot kill the average savage.
