MILLIONS FOR DErENCE But NOT ONE CENT FOR
TRIBUTE
Our Union men par excellence in the Legisla
ture are talking about donating $1,000 900 to
the support of the Government. This is i'm
proper for two OF three good reasons. First--we
have not the money TO give. and if we had we
better first pay our own debts: secordly-
after the general Government calls it will be
time TO respond; thirly-it is not rigt that
people should be taxed to raise sum for such
purpose when they cannot nor will not sympa-
thize with the party TO be the Recipients OF

YOUR ASsEMB1YMEN
Your correspondent must say Il word in favor
of your representatives in the Assembly. They
are all practical common sense men. but placer's
representatives are not all ranging on the same
scale. Good men-but there is an adjective witch
qualities thcm-"good. better, bettereSt'-or
the best. Among the practical. raight-forwarl
meni l.. G.. Smith who represents Lower Pa
Ger. The other three gentlemen are from up

Say nothing against any Of them, ana do not in
tend any reflection on either when | name Mr.
Smith. / shall feel mistaken Il the people Of
Placer DO not return this gentleman next year.
lie does not desire the compliment. but such
members as do not ask to be returned are the
men, in my opinion, who the People should hon
OF.
EDITOR FARGO on THE CRISIS.
Fargo, the representative of Alameda coRnty
is Editor of a One-horse paper somewhere down
in the COW counties. has made his mark-that is
he is branded himself after the California style.
OF the way yOu would slit ears or put hot iron
on the hauks OF wild horses lie proposes tha
at the next election everybo y he challenged
when they offer thir vote. and compelled to
swear it in or not vote at all This is Il new
phase in Republicanism. This beats Greecys
Fourcrism or Joe Smiths Mormonism. Who said
that all the smart men in this State was not in
the present Legislature?
AN ADJOURNMENT.
Both Houses have absolutely agreed to adjourn
on the goth inst. The only question now is
will they stick to it?'' Perhaps they will-pcr-
haps they won't Who cares except the scrip
buyer and the hotel keepers.
DRYING Up,
Our city is fast drying up as our rivers recedc.
In the course Of time he water will be drawn
from our easements and the Sutter Lake. At
present there is plenty in the latter to afford
| John Chinaman ample aqueous fluid for laundry
purposes. The water in some of the cellars pre-
sents a green appearance to the eye and sweet
odors to the nosal organ.
Yours respectfully. MORE ANON.
