The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SCRIPTION.....$1.50 Per Year ix Months.....$1.00 Three Months.....50 Cts The Gazette is issued every Thursday morning. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation P. A. STANTON FOR GOVERNOR The withdrawal of Gov. Gillett from the gubernatorial contest resulted on Monday in the announcement by Hon. P. A. Stanton of Los Angeles that he will be a candidate for the republican nomination at the August primaries. Mr. Stanton would probably not have been a candidate for the office had Gov. Gillett remained in the fight, but the latter's formal declination of another term leaves the field clear for Mr. Stanton to announce his candidacy. Mr. Stanton will have the solid backing of Los Angeles county, and in all probability of every county in the south as well. Being one of the largest property owners in Orange county, and one of its heaviest taxpayers, it is natural to suppose this county will rally to his support, and do what it can to assist him in his honorable ambition to be the chief executive of the State. Mr. Stanton has affiliated with the republican organization in times past, but this is true of every republican who has been in politics in California for a generation past. Neverthe- Mr. Stanton has affiliated with the republican organization in times past, but this is true of every republican who has been in politics in California for a generation past. Nevertheless he has accepted dictation from no one, and four years ago was an active supporter of Gov. Pardee for renomination. To say that he is the creature of any man or corporation is absurd. His independence of character has been shown on many occasions, and in none of them more strikingly than in his appointment of committees of the last assembly, of which body he made good as speaker. He stood for the direct primary, the anti-race track gambling bill and the reciprocal demurrage law. That ought to be a good enough record for any man, but it does not state his case fully by any means. He led the fight against the anti-foreign agitation, and was personally complimented by President Roosevelt for his stand against that infamous measure. Mr. Stanton is a broad-gauge, liberal-minded gentleman, with clear views as to the public needs of the State, and it will be a pleasure for us to do what we can to further his candidacy. It is twelve years since Southern California has had a candidate for the governorship. The southern counties furnished the majorities which elected Gage, Pardee and Gillett, not to go back further in the political history of the State. The south is growing more rapidly than any other section of the country, and its manifold interests are such that it should have the governorship at this time. The north will have a number of candidates, among them Charles F. Curry, Mayor Mott of Oakland, Charles M. Belshaw of Antioch, as well as others, including, so it is stated, Francis J. Heney. With the upper tier of counties fighting in support of this multiplicity of candidates, we hope to see Mr. Stanton land in the primaries a winner by a handsome majority. What the republican party wants at this time, apart from all considerations of sectional lines, is a man whom it can elect, and P. A. Stanton is pre-eminently that man. With him at the head of the ticket there commend him to the rank and file of the party. Nor is that his only claim upon the party. He is probably the best fitted man in the county for the office. He has served eight years as a peace officer of this county, six years of which time was spent as city marshal of Fullerton. In his various capacities as an officer of the law, he has made for himself an enviable record and his personal popularity appeals to all. He is not the candidate of any faction in the party, seeks the nomination simply of the republican party, promising if elected to do his whole duty by the people, without fear or favor to anyone. That is a good enough platform for any man to stand on. Charley Ruddock solicits the support of all classes. He feels himself fit to fill the office, and so believing asks the support of all good republicans in all sections of the county. We speak for him a cordial reception at the hands of all party workers in the county. He measures up to our standard of a good clean honorable party man, with no strings upon him and no collar round his neck. The Senate Committee on Irrigation has, according to advices from Washington, completed the draft of a bill providing for an issue of certificates of indebtedness of bonds to the amount of $30,000,000 for land reclamation projects in the Far West. Payments of these securities will be guaranteed by the government out of the reclamation fund. The enterprising and energetic statesmen of the west have been eminently successful in securing government aid for irrigation projects and the reclaiming of arid wastes is popular with both political parties. Upon the principle that whatever makes for the good of one part of the country makes for the good of the entire country there should be no sectional opposition to liberal appropriations. But if the government is to continue to finance liberally irrigation projects in the Far West it should be equally generous in providing for the reclamation of vast areas of swamp land in the east and south. These lands once reclaimed would be most valuable for agricultural purposes.

Formerly Germany had no great metropolis and nolarge cities while the overwhelming masses of the people liv- MACMULLAN'S CHANGE OF FRONT Supervisor MacMullan has during the entire road-bond discussion been steadfastly opposed to calling an election, his position being that it was unwise to put the county to the expense of a vote upon bonds when, in his opinion, the bonds had no chance of carrying. In his interview with Dr. Dobson some months ago, MacMullan went squarely on record by saying there would be no bond election until (1) there appeared to be more likelihood of their carrying, and (2) the board of supervisors were left entirely unhampered in selecting members of the highway commission. He was positive then there was no possible probability of the bonds carrying, and he has since declared it to be folly to saddle the county with needless expense by holding an election with such little prospect of anything but an unfavorable response on the part of the people to his bonding scheme. Now MacMullan dons his kilties and goes bagpiping about the county telling the people how kindly he feels toward bonds—bridge bonds and road bonds. His song is for $60,000 for the former and $340,000 of the areas of swamp land in the east and south. These lands once reclaimed would be most valuable for agricultural purposes. FLOCKING TO CITIES The rush to cities, or at least, the inclination to develop great cities, evidently prevails in Germany as well as in Great Britain and America. Formerly Germany had no great metropolis and nolarge cities while the overwhelming masses of the people lived outside of the cities and large towns. A century ago there were only two considerable places in Germany—namely, Berlin and Hamburg—neither of which has as many as 200,000 inhabitants, including its suburbs, while Paris had 600,000 and London more than 1,000,000. In those two places dwelt only about 1.25 per cent of the German people. Now there are no fewer than 37 large cities or atowns in the empire of more than 100,000 inhabitants each, embracing some 20 per cent of the population of the empire. In the first year of the present century Berlin had grown to 2,469,000. The causes of this remarkable growth of Berlin are various. The enormous growth of the German industries has probably contributed most largely to the condition which has made the country more potential abroad but less self-sustaining at home. There appears to be abundant room for encouragement in the Chinese anti-opium campaign, to the promotion of which a year ago, under the lead of the United States, the powers of the world devoted an international congress at Shanghai. Reports are by no means complete, and the lack of an efficient general government causes much diversity of action and results in the different provinces of the empire, but it is certain that or the red fish appear of a and blides it from its energetic animals are black, others color. Some fish are probing tails, so that they in the mud. The surface of the submata is covered with shells, dinary seabeach, showing the feasting place of vast shoalvorous animals. A codfish takes a whole its mouth, cracks the shell, meat and ejects the shell. The shells and suck out the accounts for whole mounts that are often found. Not a fishbone is ever is not honeycombed by shellfish and fails to plead touch of the hand. This destruction is constantly these depths. If a ship sinks at sea board it will be eaten by fish exception of the metal, and corrode and disappear. No human body will remain days.—Philadelphia North Had to Do It.

In Peking it is estimated that among the people three-tenths have given up smoking and among the officials eight-tenths have done so. Most encouraging of all is the assurance that popular sentiment is heartily sustaining the government in this campaign and is making it increasingly disreputable for men to indulge in the vice. GUN COTTON. Peculiar Characteristic of This Terrible Explosive. Many and odd are the materials en-ring into the manufacture of modern explosives, but perhaps the most interesting of all these elements of destruction as well as the simplest is gun cotton. The gun cotton manufacturing industry is large, as enormous quantities are used in the charging of torpedoes and for similar purposes. The base of gun cotton is pure raw cotton or even cotton waste, such as is used to clean machinery. This is steeped in a solution of one part of nitric acid and three parts of sulphuric acid. It is the former ingredient that renders the mass explosive, the sulphuric acid being used merely to absorb all moisture, thus permitting the nitric acid to combine more readily with the cellulose of the cotton. After being soaked for several hours the solution described the cotton passed between rollers to expel nonabsorbed acid, a process carried completion by washing the cotton in ear water. This washing process is a long one, requiring machinery which produces the cotton to a mass resembling paper pulp. Should any nonabsorbed acid be allowed to remain it would decompose the cotton. If the explosive is to be used after the manner of powder it is still furious. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Stern & Goodman's MAMMOTH Departm'nt Store FULLERTON, CAL.

"Water seeks its level" is an expression heard so frequently as to be almost trite, and yet the law has its exceptions. There are conditions under which water actually flows upward and rises above its source. If a glass tube be dipped into water the column inside will be above the level of the surrounding surface. Moreover, if a tube of half the diameter be substituted the column doubles its height. The water creeps along the inside of the tube, owing to the adhesion, and forms a cup shaped depression at the top. An explanation is not difficult. It can be proved mathematically that if the diameter of a circle be diminished one-half the circumference is also reduced to that extent, while the area is one-fourth of its former value. The circumference of the column of water being reduced one-half, its contact with the glass, and hence the adhesive force, is also diminished to that extent, while the cross section, and hence the weight, is decreased to a fourth of what it was before. Therefore the second column can be twice the height of the first without exceeding the lifting power. Remarkable as the underlying principles of this phenomenon undoubtedly are, nature made use of them long before man made their discovery. Every tree and flower adds its testimony. The core of a tree or plant, instead of being a single open channel, consists of a spongelike substance containing many miniature tunnels, through which the sap and moisture collected by the roots flow upward in small rivulets, rising higher and higher in sheer defiance of the great law of gravity.—St. Louis Republic. Sense of Danger. Dr. Waldo of London holds that people should develop a sixth sense to inform them of the approach of danger in the streets. Lafcadio Hearn once said: "While in a crowd I seldom look at faces. My intuition is almost infallible, like that blind faculty by which in absolute darkness one becomes aware of the proximity of bulky objects without touching them. If I hesitate to obey it a collision is the inevitable consequence. What pilots one quickly and safely through a thick cotton is not conscious observation at... Sense of Danger.

"Who is he?" queried the visitor, regarding the phenomenon closely. "A proofreader at the government printing office," explained Champ.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. An Easy Numismatist.
