County Prisoners Legislation.

Tomorrow the board Of supervisors
will take their seats, and begin cngi-
neering the affairs ofthc county.
Supervisor Kuhn who will represent
the first district has new scheme,
which he will introduce TO the board
tomorrow. Ieproposcs to memorial
ize the legislature for authority to ap-
point or elect u commissioner or super
visors of public roads whose duty shall
be to supervise and1cep in repair all
roads in the county and for the right
to work the county prisoners on the
roads where they can be made to earn
their bread, which the county is bound
to give them. There is no law at pres
ent under which the prisoners can be
worked and Mr.. Kuhn thinks his pro-
position will meet with the approval
of the taxpayers of the county, and he
says if it don't he is perfectly willing
to drop it. The plan of leasing the
prisoners under laws, has been repeat
cdly tried, and has proven a failure
every time. Now that this plan is
shelved by failure, be thinks his viii
work. lie is in favor of paying who
ever may be elected road commissions
er good living salary so that reliable
man can be obtained and the county
can hold him responsible for the con-
dition of the roads. Under the pre-
sent system il has been found impossi-
BILE to keep the roads in good repair
and Mr.. Kuhn asserts that the fact
that tho roads have been in miserable
condition all winter has kept thou
sands of dollars worth of busines:
away from Vicksburg simply because
the planters could not reach here with
their wagons.-Commercial Herald.
SO far from desiring TO take ISSUE
with supervisor Kuhn, we would like
to see his scheme reduced to a system
and tried. But has the G. IT. warran
for asserting the failure Of the law
providing for the lease of the prison
ers Is Il not fnct that the Warrer

itself to be clamored into resembling

NOT DEMOCRATIC.

At the last Democratic Territorial
Convention, the following, offered
by c. G. Stevenson, was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That we condemn the
practice Of election by county cen
trail committees of delegates to con-
ventions as contrary to the princi-
pies Of democracy
Delegates thus elected had no
little trouble in obtaining seats in
that convention. The late meeting
OF the Territorial Central Committee
also condemned the practice urged
against its continuance. It is sci.
dom that a committee composed of
ten or twelve members, echo the
wishes of the party in thus naming
those who shall represent it in con.
vention. Such selections should be
made by conventions composed of
delegates elected by direct vote of
the party. A committee could easily
elect a set Of delegates that could
not be elected by vote at primary
elections. The objections to this
assumption of power by central
committees are many ard well
taken, and SO generally known and
understood that mention is unnec.
essary. After so pronounced con
domination given the practice by a
convention and committee composed
OF representatives from every county
in the Territory, it was reasonable
to believe that electing delegates by
county central committees would no
longer obtain. But the central COM
mlttee of Alturas met on the 18th
and named the delegates who should
represent the Democracy of that
county in the coming Territorial

The Railway Crossin gs.

Since the change of grade on Sixth street
the railway companies have neglected to put
in suitable crossings over their tracks. This
has caused great deal of complaint among
the citizens in that vicinity, and they have
sought redress at the hands of the city coun-
Gil. The matter should receive prompt at
tention. The railroad companies are very in
different to the wishes of this city, and
should be brought up with a round turn.
They have received almost everything that
they have asked, but show no disposition to
return any favors. No matter how small
the desired change, it requires very decisive
action on the part of the council to secure it.
Some time ago the council ordered the OBJ
structions under the Indian creek railroad
bridges removed, but it required several
visits of the city marshal, and the serving of
innumerable papers, to bring the attention Of
the interested parties to the matter. This
Indifference causes a great deal of needless
annoyance, and the council Is under no obi.
cations to handle the companies with silk
gloves. The council is supposed to have
these matters under its own control, and
should assert its authority, instead of allow
ing these domineering corporations to sub
ject the citizens to whatever annoyances
they may desire.

Hillas was victim OF malpractice and after
trying every known remedy and submitting
TO many painful operations, she was told by

less. This sad decision did not extinguish
the sunlight of her disposition and no word
of sepsure escaped her lips for those who
were responsible for her misfortune. To her

knew her. Her death was most edifying
and consoling to her family and friends. Her
funeral took place on Sunday morning, from

stand old war horses like Kelley and
Randall, Holman and Cox, and ackuowl-
edged party leaders like Reed and Car
Isle, who have become more valuable to
their districts than their districts are to
them, and who can afford to snap their
fingers, not only ut the strikers and
camp followers, but at local bosses.
Generally, however, the men who
find running for congress the least
expensive are from the rural dis
tricts of the south and west, where
politics has not become so much a mat
ter of money. In the south particularly,
oratorical gifts, or talent of one sort
or another, goes about rs far as money,
and war record or personal popularity
goes farther than either talent or
money. Then if a southern or western
or western youngster manages to make
a hit, however, small, in his first term
state or local pride is very apt to make
him his own successor. Members from
agricultural districts with an eye on
second term, have II great advantage in
constituencies appeasable and purchas-
able with garden seeds and public docu-
ments. which are not "a legal tender
m ong city politicians. But the trail
OF the money serpent is beginning
to be visible in the south, too. There
is n member from Georgia whose first
election cost him only 500, and whose
last cost him 81 600; and there is another
from Louisiana who spent nothing to
get here the first time, and was out of
pocket S., 900 the last time he ram"
Suppose poor man gets nomina-
tion, how is he to meet his assessments
and pay the costs generally of election?"
Now you are asking question that
every man must answer for himself. If
you are thinking of running, however,
l may tell you coniidentially that any
man who has a ghost of a chance of sue
cess can find a backer without difficulty.
