THE PARTY ALL RIGHT.

The Ledger takes no stock IN the
gloomy predictions that the repub-
licans of .Amador county stand little
show to elect any candidate for a
county office for many years. SUCH
prophecies have only the dissappoint-
ed hopes Of few disgruntled ones to
rest upon. II it is simply meant that
IL the party is to be guided in the
future IN the same devious paths that
marked the late campaign, the pros
poets OF success will again be du-
bious, We are willing to concede the
correctness of the proposition. Like
causes produces like effects. In our
opinion. the party bore mp remark
ably we'll under the adverse condi-
lions to which it was subjected. A
ticket composed of good material was
slaughtered, 1t is true, but that de-
feat was brought about by voidable
methods. Let Cs in the future steer
clear of the ways that were frowned
down In crushing defeat last month.
Let us learn the lesson thoroughly
that to be successful we must, first of
all, deserve success. The vitality I'M
portant. lesson Is that those in leader
ship must be the most abject follow
ers. Dictation of any kind will not
90 with republicans. At every point
Of the game let them keep step to the
wishes of the rank and file. They
must remember that they are merely
servants, not masters. 10 twist the
organization to down this one, or to
raise up the other one. Is not wise.
Authority is not to be made a club to
emphasize the likes or dlslikes of the
wielders.

AZTEC ARCHITECTURE.
Wonderful Endurance of the Old
Mexican BUILDINGS.


The Mexicans or the Aztec Indians
can give the people of the United
States lessons in architecture and in
solid construction of buildings There
are buildings standing today in the
City of Mexico that have stood for
three centuries and are in an excellent
state of preservation. There is not
frame building in the city. There are
a few adobe, but most all are stone,
brick or cement There is a brick
building down in the old part of the
town that was erected prior to 1850.
1t shows that so long ago as that the
Indians were experts in the manufac-
ture of bricks. But probably so per
cent of all the buildings are made of
concrete cement. Cement and concrete
have been used successfully in Mexico
for 500 years, and all the cathedrals
and churches are of that material. On
the line of the Vera Cruz Pacific can
be seen the ruins of Toro Bravo, where
there are evidences of a city ruined
centuries ago. There are some twenty
pyramids Of solid cement which must
have been erected over 500 years ago.
One of these pyramids is ITO feet in
height. and on the summit rests a
cement ledge thirty feet in diameter
This, as well as others, is Of filigree
work and carved statuary.
Near this stands another of white
limestone, built in four terraces, with
carvings and ornamentations which
would put to shame the modern Amer
lean sculptor. 1t has stood all these
centuries, yet the limestone is much
easier broken thar the cement Think
Of town of almost 100000 persons,
and the fire record is three in one year.
The inside walls of many of the build
ings are as much as six feet through,
and all buildings are built around
courts. There is no provision in any
Of them for fires, and at the present
time small coal oil stoves are selling
in the city for $20-the same that sell
for SIS in the states. The floors are of
stone, the ceilings of f1ligree cement,
the walls of coarse plaster and almost
without exception hand painted. The
architecture on many buildings in the
republic shows that the Indian of cen
turtles ago was ahead of the modern
builder of today, : Hobart News-Re-
publican.

Presidents Message.

President Roosevelt's message to
congress is one of the most torceful
and remarkable documents ever pre-
scented to the national legislature. In
every paragraph it reveals the sterling
character of the man behind it. 1t is
clear and positive in its tone, and
advocates in several directions radical
departures from the policy of the
past. Whatever difference of opinion
may exist as to the wisdom of some
of the recomm endations, no one Will
doubt for moment the high patriotic
and unseltish motives OF the president
in their advocacy. Thel.document is
4 lengthy one aud deals with a great
variety of subjects, bearing upon our
domestic and foreign relation. Among
the prominent features of the message
We may mention TIE following:
The exclusion of the Japanese from
the common schools of San Francisco
Is denounced as wicked and absurd.
The naturalization of Japanese is
advocated.
Government should not part with
any more public coal lands.
Employers liability act to be ex-
tended.
Eight hours day to be the limit
on railroads, and general adoption
OF the eight hour day.
Free trade for the Philippines, OIL
sweeping reduction of the tariff
charges.
Marriage and divorce laws to be
under the control of Congress.
Anti-child labor laws for the terri
tories and District of Columbia.
Inheritance and graded income ia,
laws.
Full citizenship for the Porto
Ricans.
Enactment of ship subsidy laws.
One first class battleship to be-
added to the navy each year.
The right OF injunction by tbs
courts should not be impaired.
Reform in the army aud navy,
abolishing the system of promotion OIL
the ground of seniority.

how wonderfully it accommodates
itself to the swaying of the twigs to
which it is attached. 1t is in fact elias

not for its elasticity the poor spider
would not long survive. The first

Of the web to atoms and the owners

Besides its elasticity, the spiders web
Is very sticky, a property which ac
counts for the ease wherewith it holds

Japanese in School.

The action of the authorities in San
Francisco not to permit the Jap
anese to mingIe IN the schools with
the white children, has created a
tremendous furry in diplomatic
circles, in both countries. A very
delicate question has thereby been
raised, which threatens to materially
affect the cordial relations heretofore
existing between the two nations.
The exclusion of Japanese, whether
adults or children, from the public
schools, is in conformity with the
universal sentiment of American
citizens on the coast. 1t is more than
probable that it is also opposed to
the universal sentiment of the people
OF the Japanese empire. There is no
possibility of reconciling the views of
the one class with the other. In
California the presence of the jap
anese with white children IN the
schools would no be tolerated, any
more than Chinese children. And
yet the United States is under treaty
obligations to give to subjects of
Japan in America all the rights and
privileges of the most favored nation.
For chapped and cracked hands
nothing is quite as good as an appIi-
cation of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve.
Put it on before going to bed, use
an old pair of gloves, and see what a
difference the morning will bring.
