SATURDAY NIQHT MEDITATIONS. I
JUNE S. lSW.
CLEVELAND TURNED DOWN.
In passing the riverand harbor bill over
the president's veto, congress not only
siveu the country from havipj; gteat in
instioi done to its vast commerce, but it
administered a well deserved rebuke to
Mr. Cleveland. The veto message was
more like an alter-praycr talk ol a coun
try school teacher to a class of stupid
boys than a state paper; besides con
gress knows betttr than Mr. Cleveland
what the country needs, and he pre
sumes when he tells the direct represent
atives of the people Hint he is the sole
guradian of llieir constituents.
Of the 2S0 ccrTrs?rcen voting only 60
sustain the veto, and no donbt they are
heartily ashamed by this time of their
effort to cripple the country's trade ami
traffic. It is sijnrificant that only one
populist voted for the bill, but it is not
surprising that a large following of dem
ocrats voted for it, for whatever else may
be said, there are some democrats in
congress who always have an eye single
to the goad of the material welfare of the
people, and who have the courage to
vote right, whether it is for or againat
the president.
But the bill is now a law, and the
work of improving the country's water
ways and harbors should be Pushed as
rapidly as possible. The portion of the
appropriation that is designated for Cali-
Icrnu is liberal enough to undertake the
work cn a large scale, for of coarse the
next congress and White bouse occupant
mil bo heartily ia sympathy with the
policy of interna! improvements, and
hen co Enbseqnest appropriations can be
relied upon. Passing the bill over the
veto ia a great victory for the commerce
of California, and the who!e canntrv toi
the more so because it affirms a national
policy that will stand for many years to
come. And last, though not least,
Cleveland is turned down to stav down
Call.
To one given (o thoughtful reflections
the close of a week's labor presents food
for meditation. During a week's bat
tling in tho biuy affairs of lifo many
problems come tu for solution that
taxes one's powcis of disrcnuiicnt and
rightful decision. Ho finds himself en-
gulphed in a maelstrom of environ
ments. His frail bark of self-interest is
in a ceaseless secthini: of boistrotis
waves dashing hither and thither ugains
the Scilla of error on one sido ami tho
Charybdis of mistakes on tho other.
And lucky is ho or she who shall be
able to stear clear of both and launch out
ucn the calm sea beyond mul turn their
prows safely into tho haven of peaceful
repose.
The multiplicity of self interests are so
great, the inducements for gain engen
dered by natuial desires, aie so potent
and the opportunities fur indulgence are
eo numerous and piessirg, that no ordi
nary mind can fully comprehend at
every phase of the Rhifting tcenes, the
tnib courso to cersue, or has the power
to always keep in the path of duty
Life as we behold it, as a wbole.-Js
a vast llowing river, sweeping on
with a resistless current, coming from
we know not whither, and llowing into
an ocean of such vastness that ; lie
mind cannot comprehend it.
As we nre borne along on the mightv
current we crasp at the littlu willow
twigs of hope on the shores of little isles
and rest for a few moments, often with
the energy of despair, and then lloat on
uown the stream again ever aud auon
passing or are passed bv others, and
finally drop into the ocean of Eternity to
mingle with "those gone lfore" and
form an eteinal oneness with that from
which we emanated, as vapors from the
ocean rise and minsle in the miner
deep and are swallowed up by the invis
ble air and carried over continents bv
currents, moving under laws of cause
of effect.
So is man. He conies upon the stace
of life under the operation of an immu
table law, is pressed forward in the
mighty current of the on flowing river of
Life modified by environments he cau-
not control, and ti rally passes over to
the unknown sea of ultimate oblivion.
If one be endowed with superior abili
ties he may for a while shine like a brill
lant me'eor in U19 firmament of human
activities, but by and by ins light goes
out, while the worM continues to revolve
as bjfore.

FARMER DOYS.
THE VOTE ANALYZED.
An analysis of the vote last .Monday
reveals some iueer facts not easily ex
plained. The vote as compared with
two yeirs ago with regard to pirty atfili
ations, shows that while one candidate
on the republican ficket had a bare plu
rallty another of the party had a good
majority overall competitors, and that
two only were beatec the sheriff and
coanty school superintendent ; the for
mer by 163 plurality, the latter by only
01 plurality.
The populists by a straight pirty vote
polled, on an average, 710 votes. Eut
their candidate for sheriff received only
4 14 vote?, a little more than half f he
strength of his party. This fact show
that at least 203 populists were won over
to ,gee, democratic candidate for sher
iff, thus electing him.
The vote for district attorney shows
tliat Yates, republican, gotoCO majority
over Uptoa, the fusion candidate, 'Top.
ana Hem.,
-. . Keed, Hep., got OlG majority
over tho fusion candidate, Pop. and
Vim., J . F. Gazley, for state eenator.
v hen we scan tho votes of Canyon
viilo and Oakland, which usually give a
republican majority wo find they gave
pbenoiuinal majorities last Monday for
mo democratic candidates for Mipriff
county clerk, assessor, surveyor and cor
oner; while trator for couuty treasurer,
and urawtorJ an J Kiddie. Kmi .
within 20 the vote of Chaney and Dawey
democratic candidates for reprctenta
tives.

was struggling to gain admission through
