WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...SEPT. 20, 1886 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. The State Board of Unqualification has fixed the rate of taxation for State purposes p.52. The Board of Supervisors fix the county levy at their meeting on the first Monday in October. And yet another Presidential candidate is in the field. The "American Political Alliance," whatever that may mean, has nominated W. L. Ellsworth, of Pennsylvania, for President and Charles H. Waterman, of New York, for Vice-President. Ben Butler has swung around the circle and back into Massachusetts. Logan is now on the swing and from all accounts is meeting with greater enthusiasm than did Butler. Logan is after this year's votes. Ben is sowing the seed for a harvest in 1888. A murderer was actually hanged in San Francisco last week—Hutchins, who strangled his mistress. But the thug pleaded so hard to be hanged that the authorities could find no possible excuse for remitting the sentence. They really can't be blamed this time. Only seven Jews have been sick with the cholera in France. Is it not possible, asks a contemporary, that the consumption of pork may have something to do with this disease? In the absence of anything of supreme importance to occupy its attention science might interest itself in this problem. STATENUM to the front: It is rumored that Governor Tritle, of Arizona, contemplates resigning his office. This is an excellent opportunity to attain the title of "His Excellency" without having the name of your grandmother scandalized by the attacks attendant upon a political campaign. LAST Monday evening the Emperor William, the Czar and Emperor Francis Joseph took a little teddy together. Kaiser Wilhelm. Primary elections are estimated in large and widely since like San Francisco, are not calculated to inspire in a student of our institutions any great faith in the perpetuity of a republican form of government. Prudence of the greatest kind, perpetrated enblushingly and without concealment, nearly always characterize primary elections, and a respectable, decent citizen has to undergo so much contumely and insult before being able to reach the ballot-box that the majority stay away from the primaries and allow the roughs and slaggers to conduct the election in their own way. The Democratic primary election in San Francisco on Friday of last week was a specimen one. The glorious Democracy, or the major part of it, in that city gives its allegiance to a sabon-keeper known as "Boss" Buckley; the respectable element of the party, the minority, are opposed to his rule and determined to make a strong endeavor to overthrow him at the primaries. They didn't do it. Buckley had a contingent of roughs and pugilists at every polling place, and by intimidation and repeating he won the day. In one precinct a free fight, having for its object the capture of the ballot-box, was participated in by over a hundred men, and there were similar scenes at nearly every polling place. We quote one characteristic sketch from the Call: The primary election of Democratic Club 30 was held in Golden Gate Hall, Pacific street, near Polk, and the attendance could at any time furnish material for a Groco-Roman match or a Queenberry contest, with seconds all around. The primary contest was between the Buckley ticket and an opposition put up by the Murphys, who have largely controlled the Forty-first District for years. A large delegation of Murphys and followers took up a position to the right of the stage, where the ballot-box and officers of election were placed. On the opposite side were Clarence Whistler, the wrestler, Jack Brady, pugilist, Big Barra, Sullivan, and several lesser stars in the armament of sloggers, bruisers and bulldozers. Whistler, Brady et al. were present to protect the purity of the ballot from a Buckley point of view, and an equal number of well-known athletes stood back of the Murphys for the purpose of preserving the integrity of the primary system from a Murphy point of view. This opposing array of warlike talent rested quietly during the voting; at times even exchanging visits for the purpose of discussing the Downie-Barry or the Barry-Shade fight, or to bury the bitterness of political struggles in a fraternal cigarette. Mr. Mollery and Mr. Blaine are among the most disqualified men in these United States. They have lacked in their persuasion for over eight years fifteen letters written by Blaine concerning business matters. Bare of a speciative turn of mind, and being gorgious enough to see that a man of Blaine ability, prominence and ambition would come before the people at some time, they hold to the letters like "grim death" until they proved marketable. The time arrived, but not the coin. Neither Mr. Blaine nor managers of his canvases thought the letter worth buying, and they were therefore dismissed to the press for publication by the disgruntled Malligan and his partner. We gather from what has been telegraphic concerning these letters that they are in such stance as the other batch which were published years ago, and which Blaine read in Congress and explained to the satire faction of everyone but those who did not want to be convinced. Words sentenna and phrases can be so twisted as to convey meaning entirely at variance with the meaning of the writer of them intended they about convey. It is an old, old trick, this springing of ancient letters on public men at critical moments and distorting their meaning and the most amusing satire on the custom is that written by the great novelist, Diedens, in Pickwick. That estimable old goes to his landlady that he wants choosy tomato sauce for dinner. He is subsequently the defendant in a suit for which he would now be known as a breach of promise; the plaintiff being his buxom landlord. The most damning evidence, and that which she curad his conviction, was his chops and to mato sauce letter and another of the same innocent tenor. Witness how the fact widow's eloquent attorney artfully distorts the meaning of the letters to serve his purpose: "And now, gentlemen, but one word more: Two letters have passed between these parties, letters which are admitted to be in their handwriting of the defendant, and which speak volumes indeed. These letters, too bespeak the character of the man. They are not open, fervent, eloquent epistles, breathing nothing but the language of affectionation attachment. They are covert, sly, undermined communications, but fortunately far more conclusive than if couched in the most glowing language and the most poetic imagery—letters that must be viewed with cautionous and suicicious eye—letters STATEMENTS to the front: It is rumored that Governor Tritle, of Arizona, contemplates resigning his office. This is an excellent opportunity to attain the title of "His Excellency" without having the name of your grandmother scandalized by the attacks attendant upon a political campaign. LAST Monday evening the Emperor William, the Czar and Emperor Francis Joseph took a little teddy together. Kaiser Wilhelm quoted the remark of the Governor of North Carolina to the Governor of South Carolina, and the contents of three glasses were poured down three royal gullets. We infer that they will not vote for St. John. LULU HURSE is in San Francisco and experts her myatorious force as successfully as in New York. The thousands of people who have witnessed her manifestations leave the hall without having discovered the source of her power and fully impressed with the fact that the girl exercises some power that thus far has not been explained. The grape crop in Napa county is reported to be rapidly ripening, having sustained no injury from the recent rains prevalent in the northern part of the State. Crushing has commenced. Contracts have been made for grapes during the last week at prices ranging about as follows: For Mission $20 per ton, Malvoise $25, Zinfandel, Reisling and Chasselas $30. DENIS KEARNEY has settled down into the legitimate business of keeping an employment agency in San Francisco. The name once so prominent in California politics, now soldom appears, except at the end of advertisements of male and female help furnished. Success sufficient to keep him fully employed in his new departure is devoutly prayed for. The daughter of a rich New Yorker married her father's coachman last week, and this week the 19-year-old daughter of millionaire Sickles of the same town eloped with and married a butcher, and all the fashionables are holding up their bejeweled hands in horror. If the coachman was a good coachman, and the butcher a good butcher, the girls ought to be envied instead of being pitied. DURING the recent trip of the Czar through Russia and Poland, nobody was allowed on the platform of the railroad stations passed by the train carrying the sacred person of royalty, the railroad officials were ordered to close the windows of their houses and the trains was guarded by soldiers. What would Americans think of the enforcement of such orders upon the journey of the President of the United States from Washington to New York city. Royalty ought to be played-out in this nineteenth century. A COUNTRY TO EMIGRATE FROM The rigorous military conscription in Germany was illustrated by a recent incident at Greiz. Two gentlemen of that city, being soldiers of the Landwehr class, were ordered to report for duty for the autumn maneuvers of the German army. The only means of transportation offered was on a cattle train with a lot of peasants and Landwehr soldiers. The gentlemen refused to take places in the trucks and telegraphed a remonstrance to Emperor William, and the reply came back, through military official channels, to the effect that the offenders would be tried in the usual way for disobedience of orders. The two gentlemen were accordingly duly tried by a court-martial and the sentence of the Court has just been approved and promulgated. The sentence Witness how the fair widow's eloquent attorney artfully distorts the meaning of the letters to serve his purpose: "And now, gentlemen, but one word more. Two letters have passed between these parties, letters which are admitted to be in the handwriting of the defendant, and which speak volumes indeed. These letters, too bespeak the character of the man. They are not open, fervent, eloquent epistles, breathing nothing but the language of affectionate attachment. They are covert, sly, undorable communications, but, fortunately far more conclusive than if couched in the most glowing language and the most poetic imagery—letters that must be viewed with caution and suspicious eye—letters that were evidently intended at the time, by Pickwick, to mislead and delude any third party into whose hands they might fall. Let me read first: 'Garraway's twelve o'clock. Dear Mrs. B.-Chops and Tomato sauce. Yours, Pickwick.' Gentlemen, what does this mean? Chops and Tomato sauce; Yours, Pickwick! Chops Gracious heavens; Tomato sauce! Gentlemen, is the happiness of a sensitive and considering female to be trified away by such shallow artifices as these? The next has no date whatever, which is in itself suspicious. 'Dear Mrs. B.-I shall not be at home until to morrow. Slow coach.' And then follows this very remarkable expression: 'Don't trouble yourself about the warming pan.' The warming-pan Why, gentlemen, who does trouble himself about a warming-pan? Whon was the peace of mind of man or woman broken or disturbed by a warming-pan, which is in itself a harmless, useful, and I will add, gentlemen, a comforting article of domestic furniture? Why is Mrs. Bardell so earnestly entreated not to agitate herself about this warming-pan, unless (as is no doubt the case) it is a mere cover for hidden fire—a mere substitute for some endearing word or promise, agreeably to a preconcerted system of correspondence, artfully contrived by Pickwick with a view to his contemplated desertation, and which I am not in a condition to explain? And what does this allusion to the slow coach mean? For aught I know, it may be a reference to Pickwick himself, who has most unquestionably been a criminally slow coach during the whole of this transaction, but whose speed will now be very unexpectedly accelerated, and whose wheels, gentlemen, as he will find to his cost, will very soon be greased by you!" This is a fair illustration of how letters and phrases, innocent enough in themselves can be distorted into a vicious meaning. But these Mulligan letters are "a good enough Morgan until after election," as was said by Thurlow Weed at the time when the anti-Masonic war was being waged. They will be used by the opposition to prove that Blaine is dishonest and unworthy, but with, we predict, little success. As the Morey letter failed of its mission at the last Presidential election, so will the Mulligan letters fail to accomplish Blaine's defeat. As Mr. Blaine said on Monday, when spoken concerning these letters: My only desire is that every voter in the United States will read the letters for himself, and not form his judgment from editorial misrepresentation in partisan journals. There is not a word in the letters which is not entirely consistent with the most scrupulous integrity and honor. I hope every Republican paper in the United States will publish the letters in full. TAMMANY. A perusal of the proceedings of Tammany Society leads one to the conclusion that among its members there exists an opposi- DURING the recent trip of the Czar through Russia and Poland, nobody was allowed on the platform of the railroad stations passed by the train carrying the sacred person of royalty, the railroad officials were ordered to close the windows of their houses and the train was guarded by soldiers. What would Americans think of the enforcement of such orders upon the journey of the President of the United States from Washington to New York city. Royalty ought to be played-out in this nineteenth century. One of the Chinese youths selected by competitive examination and sent to America to be educated in accordance with Western civilization, where he graduated among the first at a noted school and returned to China where an honorable and prominent official career was open to him, is now a clerk with short hair and store clothes in a book store in Boston. He says China is too slow, that he has come to live as an American citizen. We may live to see politicians fighting for the Chinese vote in San Francisco. Stranger things have happened. A New York paper says that few people realize the extent to which the California fruit is seeking Eastern markets. Referring to this statement the San Francisco Call, which we hope speaks by authority, says "that the trade could and would be enormously enlarged if overland freights were cheaper. There are certain of our fruits so much superior to those offered for sale in the markets of the East that it is no wonder they are in demand; and this demand will constantly increase instead of diminish. In the near future there is a possibility that freights on fruit will be reduced, which will prove of benefit to both the shipper and consumer." BRILLIANT ideas may be expressed in a few words. The force and vigor of a printed article lies not in its length but in the words that are used. As an illustration of these axioms we quote the following editorial from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "Maine went hell bent." Could anything be more expressive? It tells the whole story. It is true that in this part of the wild west one of the four words used sounds a trifle profane, but as the Globe-Democrat circulates largely among the first families of Missouri, it must be that the language is sanctioned in the refined circles of that State. The rigorous military conscription in Germany was illustrated by a recent incident at Greiz. Two gentlemen of that city, being soldiers of the Landwehr class, were ordered to report for duty for the autumn maneuvers of the German army. The only means of transportation offered was on a cattle train with a lot of peasants and Landwehr soldiers. The gentlemen refused to take places in the trucks and telegraphed a monstrance to Emperor William, and the reply came back, through military official channels, to the effect that the offenders would be tried in the usual way for disobedience of orders. The two gentlemen were accordingly duly tried by a court-martial and the sentence of the Court has just been approved and promulgated. The sentence is for each eight years imprisonment at hard labor in the common prison at Greiz. Thieving Republicans and rascally Democrats, oppressive, unjust and odious laws, corrupt courts and all the alleged political immoralities of the century in America could not equal the atrocity of the above mentioned act. No wonder that colonization schemes are being organized in Germany with Africa for the objective point for settlement. No wonder that our German citizens are satisfied to live under a republican form of government where a Bismarck and Kaiser do not have absolute control over the property and lives of their subjects. The Teuton carpet-bagger and political mountebank, Carl Schurz, who has had the ill luck to fall into places of public importance, and to be tumbled out with ignominy into temporary obscurity, is now playing the role of bolter from the Republican party. Of him and his present position the Argentau says: We for one—only one—for ourselves—just for ourselves—are tired of "fighting mit Siegel" and voting "mit Schurz," and just for ourselves—not compromising our party—we are infernally glad that this particular humbug has taken himself, his legs, his spectacles, his appetite and his piano over to the Independents. Republicans without a dissenting voice respond, Amen. Speaker Carlisle has been renominated for Congress by his Kentucky constituents. Mr. Carlisle, by the way, is known as a staunch supporter of the Democratic protection platform. [N. B. This is sarcasm.] Mrs. Ann Rutter of Paradise, Pa., a religious manic confused in the county hospital, deliberately sat fire to her clothing and burned herself to death. She burns off those who attempted to save her. Persons of her body were burned to a crisp. She imagined she was offering herself as a sacrifice to the Lord. My only desire is that every voter in the United States will read the letters for himself, and not form his judgment from editorial misrepresentation in partisan journals. There is not a word in the letters which is not entirely consistent with the most scrupulous integrity and honor. I hope every Republican paper in the United States will publish the letters in full. TAMMANY. A perusal of the proceedings of Tammany Society leads one to the conclusion that among its members there exists an opposition to Cleveland that will materially assist in the success of the Republicans in New York State, and make its loss to the Democrats doubly sure. Tammany could not consistently be so undemocratic as to formally renounce its adherence to the Democratic party, nor could it, after its bitter fight against the nomination of Cleveland, wheel solidly into line and earnestly work for his election. It, therefore, after a tumultuous wrangle, nominally declares its fealty to Democracy and the support of its candidates, while the most prominent leaders openly declare their enmity to Cleveland and their intention of opposing him. Tammany has its record for history, and is left to cast its vote and influence in accordance with individual preference. That fully one-third of its vote will be cast against Cleveland there is but little doubt. John Kelly by his silence tacitly concurred in the action of the Society, but his real views are reflected in his paper—the New York Star—in no measured terms of denouncement of Cleveland,and predicts the certainty of his defeat. Col. Frank James, as the railroad robber and murderer is called, is out on bail, his trial resulting in a disagreement of the jury. Instead of being a social outcast, he is the "lion" of the hour, and the town of Moberly, Mo., is overran with people who want the honor of making the Colonel's acquaintance and shaking his hand. The managers of the Moberly Fair utilized Col. James' drawing qualities, and by making him "starter" of the race she expected result of a vast throng at the track each day was realized. But it would be unfair not to say that this lionizing of a vulgar criminal-must with strong disapprobation on the part of some of the citizens. The Republican County Convention was called to convene at Moberly, but when it was announced that Col. James was to be the guest of the Fair Director, and take a prominent part in the Exposition, they reminded their revolution and convened in a neighboring town. The five hop yards at St. Helena will probably yield 115 tons of hops this season. J. E. Street, car inspector, was killed at Colfax, by being caught between two cars. Geo.

It is reported that five inches of snow fell at Spring Hill, Nova Scotia, on Sunday and two inches at Truro.

In New York a woman is paid for making a shirt that is sold cents. It would be asking too much to demand a reversal of the thirty cents for making a shirt that is sold cents. PACIFIC COAST NEWS. The five hop yards at St. Helena will probably yield 115 tons of hope this season. J. E. Street, car inspector, was killed at Colfax, by being caught between two cars. Geo. Jebens, a school Director of Berkeley, suicided on Sunday by shooting himself. Temporarily insane. A boy baby, "as large as a gray squirrel," was born in Mariposa county last week. It weighed 11 pounds. A Mexican border named Guadalupe was badly mangled by a bear in Jackass meadow, in the Sierra nas north of Fresno, Friday. William Myers, a young man aged about 18 years, committed suicide at Selma, Fresno no county. Unrequited love is supposed to have been the cause. John Dempsey and Thomas Wallace, riggers, were killed by a falling wall at the Potrero Gas Works, San Francisco, on Sunday. The local train between Nevada City and Grass Valley has been discontinued, not paying expenses. The receipts for fares did not average $4 a day. Tons of fall apples are lying rotting on the ground up in Honey Lake Valley, Nevada, for the reason that no one in that section has sufficient enterprise to start a dryer. The carelessness of a man smoking a cigar caused J. B. Bolton, a farmer living on Waddell's Creek, Santa Cruz county, the loss of a barn and its contents, worth $3,500, on Sunday last. Persons are hauling with teams flour from Santa Rosa to Healdsburg and coal oil and other combustible freight from Petaluma to Healdsburg with teams, the railroad charges be so high as to render this necessary. George Gordon of Modesto is the owner of a small show in itself. He has a horse with horrs like those of a cow, growing just in front of his cars, a pig with eight distinct legs and feet, and a chicken with four legs. A son of President John Taylor, Sunday, in the Tabernacle at Salt Lake, denounced bathing, skating rinks and dancing academies, but said he was willing to die for polygamy. The stage between Lundy and Bodie was stopped by an armed masked man the other day who only wanted a Chinese female passenger. She resisted, but the man beat her over the head and took her away with him. Charles M. Sheffield, an attorney of San Francisco, died at Oakland from an overdose of laudanum. He had been in the habit of using the drug, so it is difficult to say whether it was taken with suicidal intent or not. A Santa Cruz lady has a vine growing in her garden which produces gourds of the exact shape, size and color of an egg. It bears profusely and the ground about it looks as if somebody's basket of eggs had been spilt without any breakages. At Currant Creek, Nevada, is a half-breed girl whose father is a Chinese cook and her mother a Pinto squaw. She is about 13 years old, quite smart, and her features, with the exception of her eyes, which are Mongolian, show her Indian origin. The Virginia Enterprise, speaking of the snow storm at that place on Saturday, says: It looked a little odd to see the snow tumbling down upon piles of melons, green corn, cucumbers, peaches, grapes, figs, young radishes, lettuce, peas and beans. The Del Norte Record says that fires have been raging in the woods and mountains about Crescent City for some time, and the heavy northerly winds that have prevailed of late, drove the fire so near town that several buildings in the ontakirts, if not the whole place, was in danger of being burned. The people of Truckee, says the Virginia Enterprise, live principally upon bear meat. After the first fall of snow very little of beef or mutton finds sale in the town. The land, and he being the first citizen to apply, his paper was promptly filed. He lives on the land. He had been hunting for his attorney all the morning. News of the Week.

Severe floods prevail around Gerona, Spain, and considerable loss of life and property is reported. The railways have suspended. Patrick Ryan, aged 13, was sentenced in New York to two years in the penitentiary for picking a pocket of ten cents. Under the Code the offence is grand larceny. The boiler of a cotton compress at Enfala, Ala., exploded Monday evening. The building and 300 bales of cotton were destroyed,and twenty-five to thirty persons killed.

The Virginia Enterprise, speaking of the snow storm at that place on Saturday, says: It looked a little odd to see the snow tumbling down upon piles of melons, green corn, cucumbers, peaches, grapes, figs, young radishes, lettuce, peas and beans. The Del Norte Record says that fires have been raging in the woods and mountains about Crescent City for some time, and the heavy northerly winds that have prevailed of late, drove the fire so near town that several buildings in the outskirts, if not the whole place, was in danger of being burned. The people of Truckee, says the Virginia Enterprise, live principally upon bear meat. After the first fall of snow very little of beef or mutton finds sale in the town. The bears are slaughtered by woodchoppers, who, about this time leave the timber ranches and turn their attention to bear hunting. Mr. Jameson was severely bitten by a stallion on the fair ground at Petaluma, a few days ago, and is now in a critical condition, being threatened with lockjaw. His hand was badly mangled by the vicious brute, and it was necessary to choke the animal almost to death before it would let go its hold. Mrs. Mary McCabe and J. M. Reynolds were found dead in bed at a resort near San Bruno on Monday morning. It was a case of murder and suicide, the man having shot the woman and then himself. Mrs. McCabe separated from her husband in San Francisco four months ago. Reynolds was a young man about town. A Hollister special says: A conspiracy to waylay Henry Miller, of Miller & Lux, and extract a check for a large amount and murder him (Miller), has just been disclosed by the confession of one of the conspirators, a desperate character under arrest. It is expected that the whole family including the mother will be implicated. Nothing definite has been revealed. The Millville Times says: "A Shasta man took a band of 12,000 sheep to Wyoming Territory this season and reports that $3 for stock sheep and lambs and $2 75 for wethers were the best prices he could get and that there was little demand at those figures. In California cattle now bring good prices. A band of 12,000 stock cattle on the Mojave was recently sold at $22 50 per head." A. Caldwell, a brother of the senior member of the firm of Caldwell & Co., who were robbed Sunday morning at Salem, Or., has been arrested for the crime and has confessed. His defense is that his brother owed him $7,000 and refused to pay him, and he took this means to get even. His accomplice was his elven-year-old daughter, who concealed herself in the store, and opened the door from the inside at a concerted signal from her father. J. P. Thompson, editor of the San Jose Herald, was measured in his office on Tuesday by Judge J. B. Lamag. Several blows were aimed at Thompson, but were warded off by friends of both parties, who were present. The cause of the attack is mild to be an article recently published in the Herald, in which Lemans' description of the Democratic and affiliation with the Republican party was spoken of or unanimously fitting. There is an exceedingly cold wave in the Maratime province of Nova Scotia. In Cumberland county several inches of snow have fallen. The crops are suffering greatly from the unseasonable weather.

They say it costs one bushel of wheat to send three to market, and it costs 1,000 feet of lumber to get 2,000 from Minnesota. These are only general results. In many parts of England an unprecedented drought exists, on account of the long, dry summer. In Kent poor people are obliged to pay suspense aAIL for water, and are forced to save the water they use for cooking, in order to make it serve in future occasions—a singular sort of economy. A burglar, supposed to be "Black Tom," a notorious convict and desperado, robbed the bank at Bradford, Penn., Saturday, of $2-500, while the cashier and teller were in the office. With a pistol the burglar made them hold up their hands while he helped himself to the bank's funds. A petition has been presented by Mrs. Peter Lyman in a Montreal court to be released from the insane asylum. From the evidence adduced she has been confined four years by her husband, who in the mean time has lived with another woman, using his wife's private income. Four physicians declare her perfectly sane. Are puttable plasterer took a contract of plastering at Brookville, Indiana, and went there to begin work. He took with him a colored man, Hill Harris, to help him. On arriving in Brookville they were met by a crowd, and Harris was told that he must leave the town, "that they didn't want any more nigger workmen in Brookville;" and he left. Oliver Wormold, a fresco painter, announces his intention to go over Niagara Falls in a rubber ball for a purse of one thousand dollars.
