No BuRlALs WITHIN CITY.
San Francisco Opposes Opening of Lo-
cal Cemeteries.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2O.-The
city attorney was instructed to defend
vigorously the antiburial law by a res
olution passed by the board Of super
visors, and maintain, IL possible, the
position taken by the city that buriaIs
within the city limits are things of The
past.
The Point Lobos Improvement Club
also presented patltion against the
opening of the city cemeteries for bu-
rial purposes. Interments were for
hidden by an ordinance passed August
81, 1901, and the club calls attention
to the fact that real estate prices have
since greatly advanced. owing to the
prospect Of the cemeteries being nj
timately removed.

RAILROADS ALWAYS READY.

The Parkersburg State Journal thinks
we have too much confidence in the
present Legislature, especially the
senate end of the combination, as to
the matter of getting good railroad
Legislation at an extra session. The
State Journal says:
"The trouble with the whole posi-,
tion Of the West virginian is that the
railroads are never sleeping and at
tended to the very matter Of which
the Falrmont paper speaks at the last
election. They did not get the House
Of Delegates however as that was not
necessary but simply picked up a
State Senate in accord with their
views, II the West vIrglnian will
guarantee that the house Of lords Of
the West Virginia Legislature will do
the right thing IL the special session
Of the Legislature is called, the State
Journal will fall in with the foregoing,
The former paper does not want to be
in too big a hurry however, in making
any confident assurances"

Outside Of a few chronic AcSers,

big one, and who always bolt the tick.
ct anyhow, much satisfaction is ex-
pressed with the result Of the ward
conventions last night The men
named for council are all well known
and will make able representatives Of
the city's interests. The only thing
niw that remains to be done is for
the men who believe in the PRINCIPLES
Of the party to which they belong to
stand by their representatives regu-
larly selected and their election is as
sured. Messrs. Robinson and Howard,
of the First and. Second wards, respcc-
lively, ought to feel complImented by
the confidence expressed in them in
a denomination. Mr.. Buckley, of the
Third ward, is representative of tae
working men and is considered a
straightforward, honorable young
man. Mr.. Frank Nichols. Of the
Fourh ward, is thoroughly reliable
business man; is conservative and
careful and will make a good cour.
Gilman. Charley Hawkins. of the
Fifth, is well acquainted with the H.
terests of the city, is thoroughly hon.
est ana conscientious and will make
a reliable official. With good ticket
in the field, the Republicans will so
into the fight with full confidence OF
