THE SUNDAY UNION. "
Expressions of the Press on Our seve
Day PAPER,

Expressions OF the Press on Our seven
Day Paper.
The announcement that on and after the
10Th inst. the SUNDAY UNION would be
published in connection with the DAILY
RECORD UNION is thus commented on by
some of our contemporaries
lS F. Alta California;
The RECORD UNION will hereafter be is
sued as a seven-day paper. We would
rather be able to announce that all the
seven-day papers were about to issue only
six days in the week. But as we cannot do
that we note the spirit of the RECORD
UNION. which is determined to be at the
head of the procession. 1t is credit to the
capital and to the journalism of the State,
and an unswervable advocate of the inter-
ests of the great interior, where the pro-
ductive forces of the State are and are to
be. Long may it press forward.
Sacramento Daily Bee.]
The RECORD UNION announces the publ.
cation by it. commencing on May 10Th, of
Sunday morning paper to be known as
the SUNDAY UNION. 1t will be four pages
and devoted principally to news. Sacra-
mento has long needed a paper of this
kind and the managers of the RECORD.
UNION have very sensibIy concluded to fill
the want.
EThemis.J
The RECORD UNION will. commencing on
the 10Th inst, publish a Sunday morning
edition, to be called the SUNDAY UNION. 1t
will be four-page paper, and will be pub
lished entirely distinct from the regular
daily edition. 1t will contain the dis
patches of the preceding day, which are
now not printed here till Monday. together
with local news and general miscellany.
[Marysville Daily Appeal
The RECORD UNION will begin on the
18th instant the publication of a Sunday
issue, and will thenceforth appear every
day in the week. 1t has hitherto had no
Sunday edition, but its work upon its Mon
day edition was necessarily done upon SUM-
day, so that the coming change does not
involve any question of fall from grace
The only wonder is that it was not made
before. 1t will be a welcome change to
the papers large constituency of readers.
The RECORD UNIONS news facilities makes
it valuable publication to all Northern
California, and it occupies and deserves an
important place in the field of general cir
culation.
lChico Daily Enterprise.l
On the 10Th inst. the Sacramento RE
oRD-U UNION will be published as a seven
day paper, which is grand enterprise on
the part of the management. We consider
the RECORD UNION the most reliable paper
in the State, its news being generally relia-
bic, without sensational clap-trap. We
predict for the SUNDAY UNION great success.

FRANK w. PALMER.
He Secures the Public Printership
Through Halford's Influence.

WASHINGTON, May 7lh.-The President this
evening appointed Frank w Palmer of Illinois,
to be Public trinter, and Theodore Roosevelt, OF
New York, and Hugh Z. Thompson, of south
Carolina, TO be Civil Service Commissioners.
Palmer was for two terms a member of Con.
gress from the Des Moines, Iowa district and
later moved to Chicago, where he became Post
master under President Hayes He was sue
ceeded by Judd. under C!evelands admins
tration, and since that time has been editing q
trade journal in Chicago. II is net thought
that his appointment will interfere with the
appointment of Meredith, of Chicago, to be
Chief of the Bureau of Engraving aud Print
ing, as that position has been positively prom
ised TO him. Pdlmer's appointment is due al
most entirely to Secretary Halford, who is q
great friend of the new Printer. Neither Sen
ators Cullom nor Farwell asked for Palmer's
appointment and are said to lie as much op-
posed to his selection as they were to Lincoln's
Up to within q week II was July expected that
position would 20 to Osborne, of Los Angeles,
but strong pressure has been brought to bear
upon the President. and he gave Palmer the
place.

he was placed 10 possession of the animal.
Late yesterday afternoon c. V. Upper,
who has lease of the horse from Walters,
the owner, sued out a writ of replevin. and
Sheriff McMullen went with him to where
the horse was stabbed and placed him again
in possession of the animal, which Walters
had secure from Mulky, the trainer, by re-
plevin. OF course the matter will have to
be settled by the Courts.
Mr.. Upper related to a reporter of the
RECORD UNION last night the history of his
troubles with Farrow's owner, and claims
that he has been most unjustly dealt with
by the Blood. Horse Association, through
Walters and his friends. having been ruled

WASHINGTON, May 7ih.-A rather sensational

Nearly the whole trop is marketed i'll the United

po.ters that alone makes it possible To impose
this vile stuff upon the American public. The
Consul hopes that the tea drinkers OF america
may be protected against the so-called Tea
known as the Annoy Oolong, and says the exist

aduleraIed teas l. sufficient 10 do it if prop. rly
enforced. Most OF the Oo,ong goes 10 New YORK

THE Paris Exposition has been success
fully opened, and with much enthusiasm on
the part of the French. While the Expo
sition continues there will be no political
trouble in France. The people have too
sharp an eye to the main chance to risk
the loss of the profits of the Exposition by
any revolutionary manifestations. Indeed,
we doubt if Boulanger will be heard of at
all for the next two months; he is too
completely eclipsed by the Exposition
splendor, and by the shadow Of the new
toy Of the Parisians, the lofty Eifiel Tower.
