EXTRA-sEssIONAL NOTES.

The number of spectators at the Legislature
is growing beautifully less each day. and the
members of the third house ut the Capitol yes
terday could have been numbered upon the
fingers of one hand.
There was Il little touch OF sarcasm on the
part of Speaker Parks when he announced the
vote for United States senator when he added :
''Nice Hon. George Hearst, term expired by the
converting of the Assembly i'll extra session by
his Exceliency Hon. George Stoneman, on the
10th day of July, A. d. 1886"
\ resolution was passed in the Assembly yes
terdsy. directing the Secretary of State to half
mast the flag on the Capitol building out of re-
spect to the memory of the late Samuel J. Til
den. Some one asked why such a resolution
was necessary, and Il wag replied that it was
passed for fear that some would think the half
masting was on account of the decapitation OF
Senator Hearst.
There was considerable commotion going on
at the Golden Eagle Hotel last evening among
those who desire to press the charges against the
By member of the Legislature, who claims to
know that David 5. Terry will have a resolu-
ton introduced in the Assembly this morning
making specifc charges OF corruption against
Judge Sharpstein.
In the Democratic caucus a few evenings
since, Senator Lynch and others wished to make
a stubborn fight, and throw as many obstacles
in the way of the Republicans electing United
States Senator as possible. Other members of
the caucus were opposed to fiilibustering and
Senator Langford, in order to pour oil on the
troubled water proposed TO send for Governor
Stoneman. That settled it. Lynch and his fol-
adjourned, and the election was allowed TO pro-

Yesterdays Eramiaer, speaking of the
display of fruit and other products by Ne
vada, Yolo and San Diego counties at the
Bay city, says: Yolo's exhibit is not very
extensive, but every specimen on the show
table is attractive in the extreme. A bunch
of dates is particularly catching to the eye,
and before this green fruit the Eastern Wis
itors fingered. The old gentleman in
charge hardly comprehended why they
should lavish their admiration on the dates
when within very few feet LAY a King
pumpkin $50 pounds in weight. Toward
this fine specimen he steered everyone, and
according to the degree of admiration
evinced the visitors gained a more or less
secure position in his heart. Those visit
ors who were demonstrative over the pump
kin were invariably presented with tiny
bag, 3x3 inches, filled with Yolo county
wheat. While explaining the points of
merit of the various products, the chaperon
about the stand never failed to also tell how
the Yolo county Supervisors had not made
any appropriation for the purpose of max
ing suitable exhibit, and that \. w. Pres
ton Post, of tLat county, recently organized,
had been obliged to foot the bills"

not pass any other bills this amendment would
be satisfactory to the irrgationists until further

districts. After a lengthy discussion, a substi-
tute offered by Britt differing materially

A NEW KIND OF COURT.

The Grass Valley 11dings with grim IA
cetiousness says:
California wants new Supreme Court The
right kind Of Court is wanted 1t is easy to
get rid of the present Supreme Court The Leg
islature can, by twO-thirds vote in each house
heaye the Supreme Court " sheero 'er the crystal
battlements." The Constitution gives that easy
way. We suggest, therefore. that all parties
who have had cases before the Supreme Court
as at present constituted, and who have been
" downed " by the decisions or rulings of that
Court, meet and petition the Legislature to
throw out the present Court so that a new one
can be organized. Should the one which is to
be established displesse at least half the liti-
giants who may get before such new Court why
This State wants Supreme Court which can
decide cases so that nobody will be hurt. There
is going to be growing until that Court is estab

bomb TO be used until satisfactory Court is had.
The logic of the above is as undeniable as
it is sound. Witticism as it is, it fairly
illustrates the possible results Of such Il
precedent as certain Legislators are seeking
to set up. 1t is a nice game this playing
at Court making. 1t is a right jolly game
for Dave Terry and the Mexicanizing in

it will be played out The Indignation of

THE CUTTING CASE.

The unanimous agreement of the For
eign Affairs House Committee on resolu-
lions regarding the Cutting case is signif-
cant. 1t probably reflects the general SEN
timent of the people of the East. The
resolutions enunciate the settled policy of
this country, that it cannot and never will
assent to the doctrine that an American
citizen may be prosecuted in foreign
country for acts done wholly upon Ameri-
can soil. The request that the President
renew his demand for Cuttings release
certainly means that, so far as the com
mittee is concerned, a refusal to comply
will justify the adoption of measures that
are always regarded as initiative of war.
We cannot afford to temporize in this mat
ter. Cutting is an insignificant factor in
the case, so far as his personality goes but
his protest against imprisonment in Mexi-
co is the protest of the whole people. 1t
voices a threat that the Mexican Govern
ment will certainly heed. 1t is not pos
sible to conceive of such folly upon its
part as will send the matter to arbitrament
of arms. 1t must know that its position
is indefensible, and that the whole policy
of the United States is opposed to the
course of action Mexico is now pursuing
1t must know that contest of arms with
the United States would be hopeless for
the Mexican republic, and possibly lead to
further annexation of Mexican territory,
a thing not desirable by those in this part
of the national pasture, at least.

WHATEVER the cost of the elaborate
reception of the Grand Army in San
Francisco, it is compensated for fully by
the impression made upon the rising gen.
Grafton. There is no danger of their
being too thoroughly imbued with the
patriotic spirit, or too intimately brought
into contact with great historic truths that
permeate the life of the nation As the
San Francisco Gail well says: ave are
not belligerent people, not nation to go
to war if it can be honorably avoided, or
without counting the cost; but at the
same time we are nation of brave men,
and feel perfectly able to protect ourselves
in any contest which may take place, and
to hold our own against all corners. To
keep this spirit of reliance alive, it is right
that our youth should see these veterans
marching, should hear their tales of the
war and of battles fought and won or lost :;
should hear the bleat of drum and blare
of trumpet and clash of arms in the
march; for it kindles into a living heat
the spark of patriotism which burns in
overyoue's bosom"

Salisbury Offers to go Into Harrington
Cabinet.
A London dispatch of the 26th says:
There are rumors of a hitch in the
forming OF the new cabinet on account
of the conflicting claims of two leading
ministersin the last Conservatives gov
eminent. The marquis of Salisbury
arrived to-day, at noon, in London,
from Osborne, where he went to re-
ceive the Queens commands to form
a government. Great crowds assem-
bled at all the chief railway stations
between Portsmouth and London and
rendered the new premier ovations.
He declined to address the crowds
anywhere. At the London sta
ton an enormous crowd had as
sembled to welcome the Marquis, and
they cheered him loudly again and
again. The Marquis of Salisbury,
while at Osborne, performed the cere-
mony of kissing the hands of the
Queen, and was appointed her prime
minister. The Times says it believes
that the Marquis of Salisbury offered
to serve under Lord Harrington as
premier If the latter would assume the
work of forming g. coalition govern
ment. Lord Salisbury has convened
a meeting of the Conservative mem
bers of the House of Commons at the
Carlton Club tomorrow. Lord Cado-
gan will probably be selected as secre-
tary for the colonies IN the new cabi-

Storm DAMAGE.

The damage by storm in PENNSYLVANIA
on the 26th, will probably reach $3.50, 900.
The storm was the most severe known for
many years. From almost every town
along the rivers reports are coming in of
great damage. Houses were flooded and
struck by lightning, crops destroyed and
trees and fences washed away. Almost
every railroad entering Pittsburg suffered
from landslides and washouts. Whole
fields of wheat and corn have been de-
stroyed and at one point a. strip of woods
of seventy-f yards wide by three-quarters
of a mile long was leveled by tornado.
At Pine Creek. along Butchers Run, and in
the Sewickley Valley, the water flooded the
houses, and many families were forced to
flee to escape drowning. A number of per-
sons were injured and two killed by light
ming, Porter Purveyance at Leechburg and
an unknown lady at Beaver Falls.
