AT last it looks as though the people
of Oroville had decided to unite on a
common level and put up solid front
on any movement in which the inter-
ests of the community are at stake.
Tuesday the municipal election, for
the first time passed off without an
internecine war, the people recognize
ing that the men nominated at the gen.
eral caucus would do their duty faith
fully during their incumbency. This
new spirit manifested among our cit
liens is bound to work to the great
advantage of the town if that spirit is
kept alive

The San Poll Eagle says that the
assertion of the Gazette that the south
ern vote could be SO manipulated as to
give a democratic candidate for the
president any majority necessary for
his election, if the election was to be
decided by popular vote, is "impeached
by history" Then the Eagle goes on
to give the vote cast at presidential
elections in past years, just as though
ton, showing that the solid south had
not been able to throw majority over
the republican nominee to the demo-
cratic candidate. This does not "im-
peach by history" the claim of this pa
per that the southern states are in
position to throw a much heavier vote
than heretofore cast to the democratic
candidate, because the presidential
candidate has never been chosen by
popular vote, and hence there has been
no incentive for getting out the full
democratic vote in the south. The cleo
torial vote of those states is cinched
for democracy, and hence voting has
been merely perfunctory. The editor
of the Eagle has the reputation of be-
ing intelligent and certainly his intel
ligence is not so blunted that he can
not realize that state wholly and to-
tally democratic under any and all cir
cumstances, containing over 100000
inhabitants. and casting only $1,000
votes under the present system of
selecting a president, could poll sew
eral times that number of votes. or
at least make a showing Of so doing,
and all of them democratic, if it were
necessary in order to gain a political
advantage. And if those states would
not strain a point to make such a
showing under a popular vote for
president, then the leopard has chang
ed his spots.

Mexico's Tiny Church.

Mexico, for a country that is so
poor, boasts some wonderful big and
fine churches, and it also has what Is
claimed to be the smallest church in
the world.
1t is situated at Penon, near the City
of Mexico, and is rude affair, yet 1t
serves all purposes, as the local popu-
lation is small 1t has a seating ca,
nacity" Of about ten, though there are
in fact no seats. The place is favor
lite one for wedding ceremonies, though
the altar is so small that only the cou-
pie to be married can stand In front
of it.
The average person has to stoop In
entering the door, but that encourages
humility and is a good thing. The
little edifice is crowned with two mini.
allure towers with a bell in each, and
these bells are rung as tremendously
as those of the famous cathedral In
the capital city.-Pathfinder.

Orange Peel Oil Is Explosive.

Everybody knows the flavor of an
orange peel. but not everybody knows
what causes that flavor. 1t is due to
the oil contained in little cells in the
rind If the peel is bent SO as to strain
these oil laden cells the Oil bursts out
often as visible spray and usually
perceptible to our sense of smell and
often as greasy film on the fingers.
The peel may be SO bent as to rup-
