1t makes US tired to hear the Leaven
worth Times, the Abilene Gazette. the
Eldorado Republican, and other brave
papers, kick aud tear their shirts. when
everybody knows that as soon as the
convention is over they will swallow
without gag the stinkenest swill that
may be showed at them. Every altern-
ate spring, about three months before
the convention a lot of fellows like
these, begin to below and paw I'D the
ground, and brighten the people. and
they keep it up until one of the bosses
comes along and gives them a wipe on
the jaws, and then they return to their
vomit with their tails between their
legs. These heroic gentlemen are
kicking at every thing. They want the
old barnacleS out of the way, but they
always do just as the old barnacles tell
them. They want the railroad ring to
keep hands off, but how would thew
know what to do if the ring did not fix
the slate for them? The Leavenworth
Times threatens to put some life and
lightning into the Governor if it has to
use syringe.-JlrlctiOn City Union.

CALL,S BEND.
People of Butte City and Vicinity in a
Dilemma.

People of Butte City and Vicinity in a
Dilemma.
The people residing in the vicinity of
Butte City, one of the main grain-shipping
points on the upper Sacramento, and loca-
ted about five miles above Princeton, I'M
dertook some time ago to straighten the
river at Calls Bend, short distance above
Butte City, by cutting canal. Calls Bend
is in the form of a horseshoe, the river
making sharp turn to the west, curving
and then returning almost due east Fol
lowing the course of the river, o boat has
TO travel four miles, while if the river was
made to run straight the distance would
only be half mile. In that half-mile,
however, there is tall of seven feet, and
the United States authorities, fearing that
the Strengthening of the river would cause
rapids which would injure or destroy navi-
cation for several miles below, and in the
immediate vicinity of Butte City, where
there Is now comparatively deep water and
an excellent landing, put stop TO work
upon the canal by arresting Mr.. Bounds
and Others, who were engaged in construct
ing it. The latter gentlemen state that they
We're not working in the interests of travel
by shortening the route so much as they
were TO save Butte City from being left in
ldnu Dy the action OF the river. A short
distance below the landing the river makes
a gradual bend to the west until it reaches
Princeton. About midway between the
two places there is on the west side of the
stream the bed of an old slough, or possibly
an old bend of the river, which is also al
most in horseshoe form, and there is but
short distance between it and the south side
OF the Calls bend horseshoe. The action
of the river is gradually cutting away the
land below the latter, and it is deemed by
the residents only question of time when
the river will break through into the slough
and then make its way back into the main
channel below Butte City, leaving that
place beyond the reach of steamers and
virtually running its prospects, to say moth
ing of the inconvenience the farmers who
have hauled their grain to that point for
shipment may be put to. The United
States Court at San Francisco rendered a
decree in the case last Monday, however,
enjoining the defendants from constructing
the canal, believing that it would be a detri-
ment to navigation, and the residents will
have to take their chances of the rivers
making the threatened break.

Yesterdays Primary.

The Republican primary election yester-
day was mere matter of form in the
First and Second Wards, there being no
opposition, but in both the Third and
Fourth Wards there were two tickets In
the Third, eight men were on each. while
in the Fourth all but eight or nine were on
both. The contest in these wards was
very close, but conducted in proper spirit
and without disturbance When the polls
closed it was thought in the Third Ward
tween the two tickets, and the supporters
of the opposition" believed it was elected.
The count showed, however, that the Com
mlttee, or regular ticket had been success
full. On that side there were 210 straight
tickets, as against 165 straight opposition
As the total vote was 465, there remained
90 scratched tickets of which 81 were
regular" The scratching" had not
been done with any system but on indi-
vidual impulse, and was virtually ''stand-
of" About one-third of the tickets had
only one name changed, while few had
three or four. The result showed ma
iority for the regular ticket ranging
from 40 to 80. In the Fourth Ward there
ives total vote of 1885, of which there
were 223 straight regular tickets. and the
average majority for those on that ticket
was about go. The First Ward reported
I76 votes cast, and the Second 1872, making
the total vote of the primary 1918. As
the tickets were published in full in yester-
days REcoRD-UNIoN it is unnecessary to
again present them.

The "Duchess. Again

The Oakland Times of yesterday had the
following 1.-THE Duchess, who is well
known all over this State, and especially in
Sacramento. has been cutting up her pet
antics in Washington City among the YER
dant Senators. She is the most successful
panel game worker in the United States, as
some of our State Senators could testify if
they were not afraid of their wives Sew
eral years ago she managed it is said, to
swindle our Senators out of several thou
sand dollars. After the adjournment she
visited Los Angeles and made things very
lively for hotel man who had Just struck
it rich in an Arizona mine Since then she
has not been heard of, except on rare occa-
sions, until the other day, when she cast
her flashing black eyes around the United
States Senate chamber, and began to draw
on the bank accounts of innocent Senators.
One of her victims got tired of putting up,
and placed the matter before the police.
He very naturally failed to appear when
the case was called, and the Duchess was
invited by the officers to leave the CITY,
which she did. 1t is hoped she won't write
book on California politics."

knights of Labor Memorial.

Assembly No. s55, Knights of Labor, of
this city, has adopted the following memo
rial to Congress
To The honorable he Senate and House Of Rsprs
seitdttrcs o. the United .Stafes:
WHEREAS The problem of alternating the dis
tIesS everywhere prevalent among the laboring
classes OF the civilized world is universally con-
sidered the most important question of the hour
Ia problem that has demanded and received
the immediate attention of the leading govern
ments OF Europe: and whereas, owing to the
displacement of labor by the invention of labor
saving machinery and to laws which foster
monopoly and divide society into two hostile
classes, viz. the real rIch and the real poor the
condition Of the laboring people of this Repub-
NC Is IN many respects worse than in the coun-
tries OF Europe-sO dep!Orable in fact that the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the State of Illinois
In its official report for the year 1882. declares
as an IndlsputGble deduction from carefully
compiled statistics, that the average earnings
OF the heads of families for the entire list of
occupations is less than the general average of
the cost of iiyiDg-a condition of hopeless des-
tituti0n and relentless poverty that demands
the immediate attention of the National Coy
eminent; therefore, be It
Resolved, By the labOring men of America in
the Lodges OF the Knights of Labor assembled
that we who labor in fair weather and in foul
aud contribute dailyan willingly to the wealth
OF Others and of the world, are at least entitled
70 an opportunity of securing food for our chill
dren, the ordinary comforts of life, and s. fair
expectation Of shelter and repose ior our declin-
ing years
Resolved, That in time of depression the Gen
eral Government should make liberal appropri-
ations OF the surplus revenue for the construc-
ton OF works of internal improvement and of
national Importance, and redistribute among
me people, IN the form OF wages, funds boarded
in the vaults o. the Treasury that have been
taken from the people by taxation on what they
eat and on what they wear.
Resolved. That we heartily indorse the plan for
the construc ion of the Hennepin Canal by the
NATIONAL government as an undertaking of ma
tional importance and necessity, an improve
ment that viii not only benefit thousands OF
needy men pending the construction, but one
that will furnish employment for ali time to
come 10 thousands engaged in a vast system of
internal water traffic between New Orleans, St
Paul and New York; that will present an insur-
mountable check to the greed of monopoies;
that viii give cheaper bread to the East and
cheaper goods to the West; that viii stimulate
commerce, industry and agriculture everywhere
in this grs az republic
Rcs9tped. That our Representatives in Congress
are hereby urged to consider this. and like pro
Jects, questions of paramount and immediate
Importance, and TO act in accordance with the
spirit Of these resolutions.

A Slim Excuse

About o'clock yesterday morning a
Chinaman named All Hueng was captured
by Walter Bassett, an employee of Adams,
Mcneil Il Co., as he was emerging from
the basement of that firms store. He ex-
planned that his hat blew off while he was
passing, rolled down the steps into the
basement, and he had merely gone after it.
He carried in his hand an exceedingly
dilapidated valise, of an issue called in
many years ago, and when it was exam
ined it was found to contain four sides of
bacon, for the possession of which he
could not account, except on the theory
that it blew into the valise while he was
picking up his hat He was taken to the
calaboose, and soon afterwards, in the Po-
lice Court, was held to answer for burglary

Horribly Burned,

Mrs. Neils Hanson Lauridson, who re-
sides on the Folsom road, near the Hang
town crossing, while engaged in working
in the kitchen yesterday, discovered that
her clothing was on fire. She became
frightened, and started to run to the field
near by, where her husband was at work
blowing. Before assistance could reach the
unfortunate lady her clothing was burned
off her body, her hair entirely consumed,
and her face blistered almost beyond recog-
milton. A messenger was sent to the city
for medical aid, but he expressed doubt
as to the doctor being able to reach the
ranch before death would free the unfortu-
nate woman from her suffering. Mrs.
Lauridson was bride of only few
months, and formerly lived in this city.
