BROWN, L. 8. CALKING, . SHOULD TOTE FAIR. The Grass Valley Union should tote fair when it talks politics. Its report of yesterday’s Republican meeting at this city was in some respects scandalously unfair. Especially did it distort some of the things said by General Barnes, as well as thé way in which he said those things. For instance, the Union said: “Mr. Barnes admitted having received alarge sum of money from the railroad, and felt proud of it, and said he would defend Mr. Maguire the same way if he were paid enough.” __—. Here the Union stops, thas grossly misrepresenting the gentleman. What he really did say in this connection was as follows: “Judge Maguire—and I may speak of him because he speaks of me—has taken it on himself to present me to every audience upon which he has inflicted himself, as a railroad attorney, _8 sort of human _locomotive running . gounty, was hung at 10:30.in the prison. on the Southern Pacific track, and blowing off steam and whistling whenever Herriv pulls the throttle. “Iam free to say that I have succeeded, in an honorable way, in getting away with some of the funds of the Southern Pacific Company. Iam neither afraid nor ashamed to say it, any more than I am afraid or ashamed to say that Iam one of the regular retained and paid attorneys of the San Francisco Examiner. “I cannot help it. They will come? And Iam no more responsible for the shortcomings or the misdeeds of the Southern Pacific Company, from the head of the corporation to the tidewater on the wharf, than I am responsible for James G. Maguire.” It will, however, make very little difference what the Union may or may not say about General Barnes—that is, where they are both known. Yet the Union should, for its own sake, try to be fair in these little things. AN INCONSISTENT CANDIDATE. The posing of James G. Maguire as a representative of the laboring classes of the country, as a man who is in touch with those people who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, is the most laughable aspect of the present political campaign. The fact is that he has luxuriated in a fat and easy public position of one kind or another ever since he was nineteen years of age. Since that time he has drawn as salary from pablic fands the sum. of $76,860. He is now forty-five years old. His official salaries have heretofore paid him on an average: Per year, 45 years.... $1,708 00 _ Per month, 540 months.. Per day, 16,200 days... This. single tax candidate for Governor is simply a past master jawsmith. : eer SEEM ALL RIGHT. It is the opinion of the Sacramento News, which has been looking into the matter carefully, that when the voters go to the polls next month they should vote for four of the amendments proposed to the Constitution, and vote against three of them. The first amendment proposes to legalize a number of ualawful claims of San Fran cisco contractors and should be killed The second permits each county to adopt its own system of government and to abolish the Australian ballot system besides, and opens a’ chance for a test of Mr. Maguire’s single tax confiscation scheme. It ought. to be defeated. The third amendmént establishes a court of claims to hear actions against the State. The fourth amendment puts San Franciscu in a class by itself and‘should be adoptedThe fifth proposition merely extends the line of succession to the Governor’s office. There is no objection to it. The sixth amendment is an attempt to take from the public schools some of their sustenance for the benefit of high schools and should be defeated. There is a suspicion of dishonesty in its very indirection. The seventh and last amendment relates to sessions of the Legislature. We do not like the scheme of dividing the session nor the provision forbidding’ the introduction of bills after the first twenty-five days of the session, but sixty days, the present constitutional limit of the biennial session, is not long.enough and we would advise the. adoption of the, amendment. Neither the election of Governor nor the Legislature itself is half so important us these amendments and it is to be hoped that the people will not fail to give them the most earnest conareratice.

But so many times pneumonia is not cured that prevention becomes the preservation which is “the first law of nature.” . Pneumonia can be prevented and is often cured by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. “Some years ago I had a severe cold and was threatened with pneumonia. I could neither eat nor sleep, and.was in a wretched condition. I ured a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pesteral aaa took it according to the directions, and at the end of fifteen as as well and sound as before the attack. Ihave recommended it in many cases of pneumonia since, and have never known it to fail in effecting a cure.” .

Some years ago ‘I affiliated for-a time with the Populist party and worked unselfishly and in good faith for its supremacy. However when I discovered in 1896 that.the Populist party was not ovly being made the tool of the . ‘Democracy. but was being bodily swallowed up by that organization, I natarally came to the conclusion that I had no further use . for the party. Then it. was that I returned to my first love, the Republican party. Isee no reasons for leaving it at.this time, and trust that I never will.in the future. .

It is something. like golf: and something like croquet, Enthusiasts say that.it requires more skill to play diseus than croquet, and that it is less ‘taxing ‘physically. than. golf: Discus has balis, pants, markers, arches and . disks.-The last are gayly painted little objects, suggesting tin covers of ten’ quart “pails. They have prongs which are pressed into the earth. A player has to lodge his ball by strange maneuvers in openings in the tops oi the disk, ‘he “carom shot” is a ‘test of skill. It is made by a player. striking with his:ball two balls in actual play. The winner of the game is he who first lodges five ‘balls, having three of them in a straight line in any direction. The ground space requiried fora discus set is about the same’ as that of croquet. Friendships have been broken, engagements sundered in bitter arguments over croquet.

Judge Hebbard’s courtroom in San . ‘Francisco was throriged yesterday with well-known attorneys and residents of Tuolumne and Calaveras counties, who ‘are interested in the-suit of the Argonaut Mining Company against the. Kennedy Mining Company, involving $1,500,000 worth of mining property. Judge Nicol of Tuolumne and Judge . Gottschalk of Calaveras county heard, in bane, the arguments of counsel. . The’ plaintiff company is represented by Judge Curtis H. Lindley, an authority on mining law-of. California, . : and Byron Waters. The interests of the defendant corporation are in the hands ef John W. Wright. . The companies engaged in the contest own adjoining properties, the leads of which cross one another. The result has been qndless dispute, which the court is now called upon to settle. The case was tried in Calaveras county and it was decided to heur argument in San ‘Francisco as an accommodation to counsel. Tngéiinity has no device for the circulation Of money equal to the payment of wages to well-employed labor. Henry T. Gage. __ Assessments “Would Be Unequal. A difficulty in our present system of taxation is the: inequality of assessments. Assessors are humana and. sub-.' ject to all the defects of judgment and’ character that flesh is heir to. Not all taxable property is found, and not all that is found is assessed impartially and. equally.~ These aeters are adMitted. But under the single tax system the rental value of lands would have to be assessed as the market value now is. The assessors wou:d be none the less human, no more impartial, no. more honest, and the: difficulties in the way of assessing rental values would be much greater than in agsessing actual values. Who knows what the ground occupied by a city building would rent for if the j building were/ not on it? And where all the rental value is sought to be taken how tremendous will be the pressure brought to bear to prevent the taking of it all? Could any system be devised that would be more productive of malfeasance, in the asSeasor’s office? # Maguire is said to have strong opinions, but he denies that they are in isPil-be the mon. pansion. sue.

Pneumonia can be prevented and is often cured by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. “Some years ago I had a severe cold and was threatened with pneumonia. I could neither eat nor sleep, and.was in a wretched condition. I ured a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pesteral aaa took it according to the directions, and at the end of fifteen as as well and sound as before the attack. Ihave recommended it in many cases of pneumonia since, and have never known it to fail in effecting a cure.” . JOHN HENRY, St. Joseph, La. “1 was attacked with a cold that settled’ on my lungs, and defied the skill of my physicians so so that ‘Sey y considered me incurable.

The Popalist Nominee For Sheriff Cus 1008s From That Party. Nevapa City, Oct. 21, 1898. ‘To the voters: of Nevada County— Gentlemen—I have today withdrawn my name from the Popniists ticket as a candidate for Sheriff of Nevada county. 8 L have several good reasons for. this action, the principal one. being that I am a Republican and as such desire thé }success of the Republican State, county and township tickets. Some years ago ‘I affiliated for-a time with the Populist party and worked unselfishly and in good faith for its supremacy. However when I discovered in 1896 that.the Populist party was not ovly being made the tool of the . ‘Democracy. but was being bodily swallowed up by that organization, I natarally came to the conclusion that I had no further use . for the party. Then it. was that I returned to my first love, the Republican party. Isee no reasons for leaving it at.this time, and trust that I never

It is something. like golf: and something like croquet, Enthusiasts say that.it requires more skill to play diseus than croquet, and that it is less ‘taxing ‘physically. than. golf: Discus has balis, pants, markers, arches and . disks.-The last are gayly painted little objects, suggesting tin covers of ten’ quart “pails. They have prongs which are pressed into the earth. A player has to lodge his ball by strange maneuvers in openings in the tops oi the disk, ‘he “carom shot” is a ‘test of skill. It is made by a player. striking with his:ball two balls in actual play. The winner of the game is he who first lodges five ‘balls, having three of them in a straight line in any direction. The ground space requiried fora discus set is about the same’ as that of croquet. Friendships have been broken, engagements sundered in bitter arguments over croquet.

A difficulty in our present system of taxation is the: inequality of assessments. Assessors are humana and. sub-.' ject to all the defects of judgment and’ character that flesh is heir to. Not all taxable property is found, and not all that is found is assessed impartially and. equally.~ These aeters are adMitted. But under the single tax system the rental value of lands would have to be assessed as the market value now is. The assessors wou:d be none the less human, no more impartial, no. more honest, and the: difficulties in the way of assessing rental values would be much greater than in agsessing actual values. Who knows what the ground occupied by a city building would rent for if the j building were/ not on it? And where all the rental value is sought to be taken how tremendous will be the pressure brought to bear to prevent the taking of it all? Could any system be devised that would be more productive of malfeasance, in the asSeasor’s office? # Maguire is said to have strong opinions, but he denies that they are in isPil-be the mon. pansion. sue.
