happened: Its houses were left unoc-
cupied and unprotected. its former
trade ceased, its lots fell to small
part OF their value. its two weekly
newspapers were suspended. ana the
town, deserted by the bulk OF its in
habitants, was at one time without a
single officer clothed with civil author
ity.'
After the first rush To the gold dig
gngs the town began To regain its lost
ground. and ere long the influx of gold
seekers gave quite an impetus TO its
growth. The town was incorporated
in April 1880 and the first common
council elected proceeded with diligence
to plumber the city treasury. The
same year the state was admitted TO
the Union, and when the steamer Ore
gon brought the news-there was no
telegraphic communication in those
days-business was entirely suspended
and the entire population rushed to the
wharfs to welcome the harbinger. The
town had about 10000 inhabitants at
that time, and when the people were
informed that the signal flags of the
Oregon indicated that California was n
sovereign state of the United States OF
America "A universal shout arose from
10000 voices on the wharfs, in the
streets, upon the hills, housetops and
the world of shipping IN the bay"
In its early history the city suffered
from several disastrous fires. Between
December, 1910. and June. 1851, six
CONGREGATIONS played havoc with the
growing young town. Better buildings
were planned and several fire compa-
MES were organized These were steps
in the right direction. 1t was also dis
covered that the fires were started by
criminals who profited by the confu-
sion.
This fact and the inefficiency and
corruption Of the city government led
q large number Of citizens TO organ
ize the famous vigilance committee
which ruled the place In 1851. Quite Il
number of crooks were lynched by
the committee. others were driven out,
like John Oakhurst, the leading figure
in Bret Harte's "Outcasts of Poker

eral dead game sports to lose a bunch
of money last night. The fish and
the block Of ice reposed on the back

Finally someone started a discussion
by stating that if the fish were re-
leased from its prison of ice it would
revive and continue to live just as II
there had never been any ice. An
other gent disagreed with the first and
a general argument followed.
One fellow said that that was the
way fish spent the winter months, reg
ularly. Like snakes, he said, they re-
manned in comatose condition ali

the springtime they were just as
frisky as if summer had continued all

heated and bets amounting to several
hundred dollars were laid on, both

street, and another to the North Beach

After the vigilance committee dis
banded the criminal element became
holder, and In 1856 the crime and cor
ruption in the city had become lntol-

decent and orderly life. When Editor

1t has been asserted that San Fran
cisco is the most cosmopolitan city in
the world, and by cosmopolitan Is
meant a population from all parts of
the world. Not long ago the records
indicated that 43 per cent of the peo-
pie of the city were born in foreign
lands, not in two or three different
countries, but in practically every land
under the sun. According TO the ma
tiOnal census reports for 1890. San
Francisco had a total population of
29S ,997. OF these 172 1876 were native
born and 126,S11 were born outside of
the United States. Fully half the
grown persons in the community re-
moved to California from alien lands.
while a large percentage of the other
half and of the general body of chill
dren were of foreign parentage In
1900 San Francisco had a population
of 80, 7s2, of which 341 per cent was
foreign born.

More than SO million dollars worth

This importation of diamonds and

In the ten months of 1905 ending with

in any full year prior to 1905. The

A National Air, Now

We are aware that the South has been conquering the North in many ways since the day of Lee $ surrender, but we confess that the following from the New Bedford Mercury comes just a little before 1t was expected;
 If the truth is told, about every body with musical ear has q sneaking preference for Dixie. ," It can be whistled and sung with satisfaction, while the Star Span. gled Banner" lacks the quality which pleases the masses and Is quite unsingable. There: IS noth- ing more uninspiring than to hear an average company of people drone the Star Spangled Banner. ? II this te treason, make the most of it.
 And not word about eA ankee Doodle. " It k not even considered worthy of mention in the same breath with Dixie" by thissstaid. old New England moulder of opinion. With the Mercury there are but the two tunes worthy of becoming the national air of the United States. The one is the Star Spangled Banner" and the other "Dixie." " Others may have preference for Hail Columbia" and some are devoted to "The Bonny Blue Flag but the Mer- cury can hear none but the Star Spangled Banner" and "Dixie, and "if the truth be told, there is a sneaking preference for Dixie. !"
 Bold words these when uttered in a New England community, and the Mercury appreciates it's temerity, but boldly invites fresh destruction by seeking the South even for its defiance. for its lofty '.if this be treason. make the most of it, comes originally from re- bellious Virginia.

The Pestiferous Mosquito.

The fight on the mosquito has begun early in the city of New Orleans. All efforts are combined to prevent the conditions that may bring about repetition of the oc- currences of last year. The States is authority for the statement that all the eisterns in the Sixth dis trict are screened, or supposed to be, but in spite of this fact the ob- noxious mosquito has been pesti- ferously active in that section of the city during the past week. Whether or not the annoying little insects have been able to outgeneral the health authorities and operate secret breeding places, the fact remains that the mosquito is in evidence and citizens are eager and wiling to make war upon the pest. 1t is quits probable that the mos quitoes now so annoying after nightfall are bred in the stagnant water of the gutters, hence the nuisance can be, and in many cases has been, greatly abated by people oiling gutters near the premises.
 On the other hand. some of the mosquitoes which have been so active recently may have come in from the swanps and marshes. While they are not the stegomyia, or yellow fever mosquito, they can bite fieteely and make themselves generally objectionable, therefore every citizen, who has in front of his residence gutter containing standing water, should by oiling it set an example for his neighbors and thus contribute to his own personal comfort and theirs.
 It is quite well understood that the city cannot be entirely freed of mosquitoes until our underground drainage, water and sewer systems are completed and in operation, but the screening of the csterns has already rid the city of the most dangerous species of the mosquito, the stegomyia, and by the use of oil on all stagnant pools and pud- dies of water the number of other breeds of mosquitoes can be greatly reduced, so that their presence will cause little annoyance. So oil, brothers, oil with care, and oil while the breeding season is in its flush and Hower.-Democrat.

Rebuking BossiSm.

Democrats hatred of political bossism and machine methods in politics was e4oquently expressed in the attack by Temporary Chair. man Sapp, of the Kansas Demo cratic Convention, upon the way business is conducted in the House of Representatives at Wash. ington.
 "It IS not RePublicanism, said Mr Sapp. "Itis not Democracy. It is the vilest kind of monarchy. It certainly is a subversion of rep. resentative government when the power delegated by the voters to the Representative is by him dele gated to the Speaker, who is thus empowered to control one branch of Congress by one-man power.
 IL is q maxim of law that man acting under delegatated powers cannot delegate them to another. And it was not intended in the framing of our system of govern, ment that Congressman should have this power of delegation. The whole system built up by Re publican Speakers under Reed rules is nothing but usurpation.
 The country is beginning to un- derstand perfectly we'll that it is the worst form of that bossism and machine rule which were so severe ly rebuked in the last State cleo tions. The rebuke is likely to be still sharper this year.-Republic.
