ONE of the soundest and best men
named among the Democratic candi-
dates for Lieutenant Governor is Judge
A. G. BRADFORD, Of Fresno county.
He is a farmer, and living as he does
in the heart of the great San Joaquin
valley--the wheat field of the State
he is familiar with the wants and me-
cessities of the farmer community.
He has given the subject of irrigation
long and careful study, and as Presi-
dent of the Senate his experience, OBJ
servations and suggestions would ma
terially assist in the work of estab-
fishing general system of irrigation.
He is man of sound practical sense,
and such men are needed at the head
of our State government. We are
not aware that the Judge desires the
nomination, but We have heard his
name mentioned in connection with
the position and we take the occasion
to remind the Democracy that he is
one of their most popular men.

One of the finest improvements in
the city will be the rebuilding of the
Lafayette Hotel. The whole of the
back of the house Is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others, such as cottons, table,
linen, etc., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-
vince themselves Of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never
get again, and in order to prevent a
great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of the building of
the Lafayette Hotel. ale

Let every resolution of every
Democratic State platform speak in
bold emphatic tones for Home Rule,
State Rights and Personal Liberty
Ottun,cd Democrat.


State Rights! Let US see; isn't
that the doctrine so dear to the
Southern Democratic heart that car
ried the South into secession, and the
doctrine that the late war was fought
to settle:


Yes.


Did not the war settle it?


No.


Then what did 1t settle? Did it
settle the question as to the right of
a State to secede and have home rule
without responsibility to the General
Government?


Yes. No; no: exactly; don't
know as to that; perhaps not; but
that will be settled when the Demo-
cratic party has secured control in
the Nation.


Well, how about personal liberty
does that mean free whisky


No; that means that every man
shall have liberty to buy and sell and
drink, or let it alone, as to him SEEM
eth best. That mea ms personal lib
erty.


That is Democratic doctrine, then,
is it?


Yes, and we are determined to
have it in our platform and if the
Anti-Monopolists don't like it they
may go back to the cursed Radical
party. We're not fools enough to
give up our personal liberty and our
State right views to please them any
longer. They nibbled at our bait
Iery well last year and year before I;

or go to th-r; we won't angle

our name and principles. We should
like to have their votes, but the plat
form and the ticket must be Demo-
cratic.

the American Medical Association.


The following article. which appears
in the February number of the Nash
vile Journal of Medicine and Surgery,
could have emanated from no pen but
that of its senior editor. DR.. w. X.
Bowling, who is also President of the
American Medical Association:


EVERY few years, some one gets up
bill in the Legislature to protect"
competent medical practitioners by
6ning incompetent ones, and forcing
them out of the field. This is to be
accomplished by the exclusion of those
who have no diploma, or by Examin-
ing Boards, to ascertain the qualifiea-
tions of those who would practice
medicine irrespective of diploma
holding. Something of the last men,
toned kind is now pending in the
Legislature Of Tennessee.


1T is passing strange that those who
favor such schemes will not remember
that, in either case, they throw them
selves into the hands of politicians,
who cannot know anything of such
matters. and who care less, if possible,
than nothing. Suppose our present
Legislature appoint such Board from
among us, or several Boards, as con-
templated-at Nashville, Memphis,
and Nnoxville-say about two dozen
doctors in ALTO say who. of as many
thousand, should practice medicine,
would not the members, upon return
ing home, find their constituents, like
so many yellow Jackets, in high sting
ing mood? Do not they know who
does them most good when sick, and
who lucks best?


Qualification Bah Pretty is
that pretty doesl This is the logic of
the masses, and the king of our
country is the aggregate of the masses.
Aud what would the other one thous-
aud nine hundred and seyenty-six doe
tors think?

This Journal has set its face, like
flint, for quarter of q century, against
the meddling of non-medical men with
medical affairs, its motto being, To

some sensible remarks as the to the

There are few among us who do not

lures in the past, have contributed to
the privations of the present. To our
friends in the country the failure of
the great stable has also demonstrated
the perils of people who rely solely,
or almost solely. on single product.

Billy Smith, who ran out on Tuesday after
moons train for the East over the Chicago
aud Rock Island Railroad by some boys at

the sleeper dummy man. They had
taken suit Of clothes, stuffed them full of
straw, fixed up head by means Of a mask,
and had put air old stove-pipe Oh the top.
The dummy was seated on the steps one
arm around the railing, and the other sup
porting his weary head as if asleep.


Conductor Smith came along, and seeing
the supposed man sleeping there, took him
for dead beat giving him slight kick
demanded, your ticket, sir.


No answer. Smith stirs him up again,
and says, Here, You fellow, wake up"
Again there was no reply, and Smith then
discovered the 'sell,' as he took hold of
the dummy's shoulder


Going forward to the brakeman, he in
formed him that there was dead man on
the rear platform, and he wanted him to
watch the body till they got to Des Moines.

was so teneaer-hearted that he did rot
