LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
HIS OPINION OF REPoRrERs.-As a re-
porter was walking through the State Cap
itol grounds yesterday admiring the beau
tiful Towering plants and shrubbery, he
was accosted by the State Gardener. He
said; You newspaper men do not treat
me fairly. | am often censured in the local
columns of the Sacramento press for con-
ditlons of affairs for which | should in no
wise be held responsible. Fault has been
found and pointed to by you reporters, and
the gardeners berated. If you were a prac-
teal gardener you would see the absurditv
of your criticisms You are reporter on
Sacramento paper, amt you" When he
was informed that the knight of the pencil
was representative of the RECoRD-UNIoN,
he said: Well, I'm very glad TO know it.
1t was not you that | had reference to, but
those other fellows that prowl around here
expecting to see sunf1owers and hollvhocks
i'll january; who don't know a verbena
from geranium, an annual from a peren-
NAL, an oak from pine, nor a tuberose
from hole i'll the ground. They steal
buttonhole bouquets, pluck the finest roses
regardless of admonitions to leave them
alone, and with their iack-knives slash
whole branches from choice shrubs. They
then go away and write up the gardener
On election night what was done to these
grounds? They were almost literally de-
stroyed-that is, that portion east of the
Capitol building. Whole beds of flowers
were torn up by their roots and trampled
under foot. Some choice palm trees were
stripped of their large leaves-some of
them utterly destroyed. FL suppose now if
one of those reporters would come along
and see the wreck, he would recommend
an immediate change of gardeners I'll
tell you what | think of doing-buying a
double-barreled shotgun, and load it to the
muzzle, one barrel for hoodlums, the other
for reporters.
