An exchange offers the follow ing suggestion: That a law be passed making it necessary for all notes to be stamped by the county assessor in order to be of any val ue whatever. It is a we'll authen. ticated fact that but few notes and bonds are ever assessed by our county officers, thus the rich are freed from taxation and the poor are captured every time. The poorer people, tho farmers most especially, are compelled, to a gr eat extent, 10 keep up the roads and the public concerns in general, while those who have a large amount of notes an.l bonds, and by possessing these are independ- ertly situated, are allowed to neg, lect the payment of taxes simply because the assessor cannot track and enlist the property. Were we provided with a law of this charac. ter-and the welfare of our county demands 1.-the increase of taxa ble prop orty would be surprisi ng Monroe City, (Mo,,) News.

What Young Ladies Should do.

Do be natural. A poor diamond is better than 8 good imitation,
 Do be reticent; the world at large has no interest in your pri- vate affairs.
 Do try to be sensible it is not q particular sign of superiority to talk like a fool.
 Do observe. The faculty of ob. servation, we'll cultivated, makes practical men and women.
 Do avoid cauSos of irritation in your family circle; reflect that hone is the place to be agreeable.
 Do sometimes. at least, allow your mother to know better than you do. She WAS educated before you were born.
 Do be ready in time for church; if you do not respect yourself sutli- ciently to be punctual, respect the feelings of other people.
 Do be contented. "martyrsv are dctestable; cheerful, happy spirit IS infectious; you can carry it about with you like a sunny atmosphere.
 Do be truthful; do avoid cxag- seration. If you mean mile, say d mile, not a mile and a half. If you mean one, say one, and not a dozen.
 Do try to be accurate, not only for your own sake, but for the sak e of your sex. The incapacity Of the female mind for accuracy is a standard argument against the equality of the sexes.
 Do avoid whispering; it is as bad as gigglinS. Both are to be condemned; there is no excuse for either one of them. If you have anything to Say, say it, if you do not, do hold your tongue altogeth- CT. Silence is golden.
 Do cultivate q habit of listening 10 others; it will make ysn valu. able member of society, to say of advantages it will be to you when you marry. Every man likes to talk about himsclf; good listener makes a delghtful wife.

 Few people know the origin of our most familiar quotations. The other day a Providence, k. l. re- porter started ont to find the Ori- gin of "cleanliness is next 10 gOdli. ness" Several statesmen were interviewed and they all declared that it was in the Bible. A militia. " man was positive that it first appeared in soap advertisement. The secretary of state thought it was in Corinthians. A sporting man said he had seen it in the Marquis of Qneensbury Rules" A distinguished general credited Shakspheare with if. A preacher said it was somewhere in the New Testament. The governor of the state studied over it a while and said: "God knows who was the author, I don't.' Finally a color ed pieman was spoken to, and he at once said: "Dats good ole Mefumdis' doctrine" John Wcs. ley made it up himself" The re- porter was amazed. He looked into the matter, and iH the eighth edition of ''Bartlett's Familiar Ono tations" found the following: Clean. illness is indeed next to gOodliness, Sermon on dress. John Wesley, 1760." So the negro pienian was better posted than the governor, the statesman and all the other big men

Dealing In Futures Defined.

The late decision of the Arkan. sas supreme court, affirming tho constitutiouality of the legislative act prohibiting dealing in grain fu- lures has attracted such general interest in this city, consequent upon.the immediate closing of s. s. Boyd's "bucket shop" that com prehcnsive abstract of Associate Justice Smiths opinion will be of interest. The defence made in tue case of Fartenbury was that the | legislative act under which F. was convicted, is void as being in TO- .traint of trade, and that r. was acting merely as broker, and did not himself sell to his customers. Justice Smith holds that the legis- lature did not intend to restrict le- gitinate commerce, but to destroy Il e parasites that contract Tor iu- ture delivery, if entered to in good faith and the actual intention Of fullfilment, are valid; and that the statue is not inconsistent with pub. lie policy; it forbids and punishes wagering contracts, i. C., contracts stipulAting that they shall gain or lose upon the happening of an un- certain event in which they have no interest except that arising upon the possibility of such gain or loss.
 The real question to determine in such transaction is: Was it a sale or a Nager' Under Justice Smiths decision all persons partici pating in a "dcal" in wagering fu- lures are iudictable as principals. The decision is sweeping and com
 pletely shuts out "bucket shops" in Arkansas.

IF it has not already impressed itself
fornia who believe in the protection of
American industries and the maintenance
of fair wages, that it is essential to NAM
tain the Republican check in Congress- it
ought to begin to be clear to them now.
Democratic ascendancy in both Houses of
Congress means a leveling that will destroy
the barrier between foreign assault and
home industry. 1t is, therefore, to the
interest of every workingman in California
to see to it that no Democrat is elected to
the United States Senate from California.
To prevent this, Republican Legislature
must be assured. 1t will not do to COM
promise with any possible doubts about the
candidates presented throughout the State
being the very best possible to be chosen,
by going off with any of the many political
side-shows Just now performing outside the
"big canvasses," and Justify shouting for
votes. 1t is to be this year Repub-
licanism or Democracy, protected or ex-
posed industries, fair wages for fair work,
or open exposure to the products of the
pauper labor of Europe. Voters should
not hesitate a moment in such an emery
ency, but make assurance doubiy sure that
George Hearst be not returned to the
United States Senate, nor any other Dem
ocrat. Let not voters be deceived by the
fraud in the State Democratic platform
declaring for the laboring and industrial
interests. Nothing could be more farcical.
While the Democrats of California pre-
tend to breathe holly on that plank, the
party leaders in Congress do their utmost
to break down the guards, and wrestle with
each other in their haste to legislate for
the leveling of the tariff to the foundation
stones-and beneath.

Mugwumpery leading from the outset.
But as the Mugwumps never were a COM
pact body, no few men can truthfully say
they carry over by their detection large
class of voters. The truth is, the body of
Republican voters who opposed Mr.. Blaine
ended the fight there, and are not led into
the Democratic fold by the few white
waistcoated gentry who grew eloquent and
looked owlish at the Boston banquet.
These men, as the Oakland Tribune well
says, have been simply critics. "They
could pull watch to pieces, but they
could not put it together again. Their
natures and their education fit them to be
critics, but they forget that even as critics
their physical constitutions which are of
habby, sissy-like kind, may not have
enough good, happy, active red blood to
make them bright and healthy. A critic
may fail. During war it is easy to criticise
Hoche, Bonaparte, Grant, or Beau
regard but not one of these critics could
win a battle. Shakespeare and Shelley
live in their poetry, and their critics are
almost unknown

GRAND MASTER ATKINSON.
Brief Sketch of the NewIy-Elected Head OF
the Masonic Fraternity of the State.

We present in to-days issue the picture
of our highly esteemed townsman, E. c.
Atkinson, who was yesterday elected by
the Grand Lodge of Masons, at San Fran
cisco, by an almost unanimous vote, to the
honorable position of NJ. w. Grand Master
for the ensuing year. Mr.. Atkinson is
about 45 years old, man of family, native
of the State of Maine, and was a resident of
Wisconsin prior to his immigration to Cal
ifornia, in the year 1872.
From his early boyhood he has been a
teacher, and following this inclination on
his arrival in Sacramento in 1872 he
founded the Sacramento Business Col
lege, which has become prominent among
the educational institutions of the State
and whose graduates can be found in places
OF trust in many of the prominent bust
ness houses on the coast. He is a man of
high moral standing, broad culture, genial
nature and passionate lover of fine litera-
ture. His Identification with the business
interest OF our city has been the closest,
and his well known strict integrity and in
trinsic worth have called him to places of
trust, among which is that Of Director and
Vice-President of one of our principal city
banks.
To the Masonic fraternity it will be of
interest TO state That he was made Master
Mason in Western Star Lodge, GAINESVILLE,
Wisconsin, in 1867; is now member and
Past Master of Sacramento Lodge, No. 40; a
companion of Sacramento Chapter, No. 3,
Royal Arch Masons, having Joined both
bodies by utilization on DENTS from the
East. In 1876 he was created Knight
Templar in Sacramento Commandery, No.
,, and thereafter served that body for
several terms as Prelate. His career as
Mason has been marked by earnestness and
zeal. His four years of service as Master
of Sacramento Lodge are held in pleas
ant remembrance, not alone by the mem
oers of the Lodge, but by all brethren
of the mystic tie, who visited his Lodge
during that time and witnessed the man
ner in which he conferred the degrees, more
especially that of the third which, in fact,
gave him favorable notoriety in Masonic
circles throughout the State.
From his first appearance in the Grand
Lodge he has been faithful worker, serv-
ing that body on important committees, a
portion of the time being member of the
Committee on Jurisprudence. In 1882 he
was elected Senior Grand Warden, and for
two years thereafter was reelected to the
same position. AT the Annual Convoca-
ton of 1885 he was advanced to Deputy
Grand Master, and has now been elected
Grand Master, which position he will ably
fill

THE Examiner is making strenuous eff
forts Just now to prove Mr.. Bartlett to be
red-hot anti-Chinese advocate. 1t is
somewhat strange that this should be at
tempted. Why is it necessary, in the face
of the platform on which Mr.. Bartlett
stands? He is pledged to oppose Chinese
populating this State and the whole coun-
try, even if he did for years psse as
landlord of Chinese tenantry. No de-
fenses of this kind have to be made for
Mr.. Swift. He is too widely and politi-
cally known as the friend of labor and the
opponent of Chinese immigration to even
need single line of explanation of his
position, despite the brazen lie of the
Democratic platform concerning the Chi
nese treaty That falsehood, by the way,
is reacting upon the Democracy damag-
ingly. VIII Mr.. Bartlett, in his speech in
this city, venture, in the face of the facts,
to affirm that the plank referred to does
not convey lie plainly and unequivo-
cally? Will he venture to assert that Mr..
Swift is pro-Chinese, or to deny that Mr..
Swift has been for years representative of
the anti Chinese sentiment of the coun-
try? He (Mr Bartlett) knows that his
opponent has been a consistent and per-
sistent enemy to the degrading immigra-
ton that has so blighted the labor inter
ests of this State.

1t is seldom that Sacramento is favored
| with such a programme as the organ re-
cital at St. PauPs Church for Tuesday even
ing gives. Mr.. Whitley comes with a
| wide reputation as master of the master in
strument, and those who have listened to
his concerts in San Francisco are very en-
thusiastic regarding his skill as a per-
former and his particularly happy gift at
transcription, as also his taste as an accom-
panist. He is one of the few really great
organists at the present time. In private
| letter written by Rev. C. H. Hail. D. D.,
rector of Holy Trinity Church, Brooklyn,
concerning his music last Easter, he says !:
81 do not often indite note on Easter
Day, but do so now in simple admiration
of the mastery science and skill displayed
by YOU in the two services of the day. The
services have been simply splendid, and
have never heard Easter music which, as a
matter of art, and not forgetting, too, the
highest sort of devotion, has equalled it.
Among the recollections Of Easter that
gather over life as one goes on, this days
music will abide as a true echo to the great
| idea of the Resurrection.
