THE obstructiODists in the House showed
the insincerity Of their pretensions of affcc-
ton for the veterans, when Gen. N. p Banks
asked unanimous consent for the passage of
a resolution already approved by the Senate
authorizing the appointment of 30 additional
Medical Examiners in the Pension Bureau
J. ID. Richardson, who represents the Muir
freesboro District in Tennessee, and who
served through the war as Adjutant of the
45th Tenn. (rebel), was instantly on his feet
with an objection. Gen. Banks tried to get
him to Withdraw his objection, by explain
ing that this legislation was strongly recon-
mended by Secretary Noble, who said in q
letter which was read that nearly 10000
cases which were waiting decision, were de-
layed in their adjudication by the smallness
Of the Board Of Medical Examiners, and the
additional ones asked for were absolutely
needed to finish up these claims within a
reasonable time. The Tennessean would
not get out of the way, however, and under
the rules the resolution had TO go over

HOW BOSSES BLAoKMAIk

TT WILL BE A VERY DIFFICULT THING
L to secure clean government until candi-
dates are relieved OF the Matchmaking, in a
hundred forms, to which they are now sub
jected. Scores of methods have been discov.
cred for squeezing money out of them. Every
election brings to light some new species of ex-
action.
The regular political bosses take a whsck at
them in a dozen different ways and before the
election day comes around they are bleeding a t
every pore. The piece clubs hound them day
and night. Pretended charity subjects them to
pressure as gentle as that of the footpad, and
finally when all have got through, the newspa-
pers take hold and do them up until salts
fed.
No sooner are the nominations made than a
general round up of the candidates begins A
bowling pack is after the heels of every man
who is running for office in city and county.
Many of them have fairly been driven into hid
ing. We have law which makes Il q misde-
meanor for any convention or committee to
assess persons aspiring 10 office. That law
ought to be extended to individuals, so that we
could "jug" the boss" who absorbs all the
profits of all the officers and is the direct cause
of nine-tenths of the detaleations in Office. 1t
should be a misdemeanor for the candidate to
give, IS well as for the blackmailer TO ask,
money for any political supprt actual or i'm
piled. If a regular candidate should give his
experience from the time of his nomination to
the day of election no feeling but that of amaze.
ment would be uppermost il the public mind.

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES
To Secure Honest City and County
Government.

Municipal government is business, not poll
tics
Municipal elections s. ould be divorced from
State and National politics
Municipal officers should be chosen solely
for business ability and personal integrity.
Municipal officers should be independent of
political bosses, parties and factions
The care of city and county property, the
granting and management of franchises, the
collection and expenditure of city and county
revenues, can be safely intrusted only to OFF,
GERS chosen under the operation of these prin-
ciples.
Sacramento is suffering from most odious,
damaging, and dangerous system of boss rule,
under which both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties are owned and controlled by one
set of bosses, and whereby the interests OF both
parties and OF property owners are absolutely
ignored and sacrificed, to the one sole purpose
of plumber and power. Under this ruinous and
degrading system our city aud county expenses
are robbed to pay the augmented and unjust de-
mands; our Courts and juries are corrupted, JUS
ice is defeated, crime goes unbridled and IN.
punished; our p0lice-supposed guardians OF
the people-are selected ard controlled by the
same corrupt powers to shield criminals, wnile
the power of the municipal authorities 10 sup
press crime and sustain the law IS openly de-
fed.
Therefore, with q view to overthrow these
evils aud place the government OF the Guy anu
county under the direct control OF TIE PEOPLE,
to be conducted upon economic ana business
principles, we, the undo: signed, while reserv,
ing our party allegiance in State and Nationai
affairs, hereby unite in permanent munlcipal
citizens organization and agree 70 90 an ~ ou-
power to insugurate and carry out the purposes
stated.

pEMAs STRONG.
One of the Earliest Settlers of Sacra
manto Here on Visit.

One of the Earliest Settlers of Sacra-
mento Here on q Visit.
Residents of this city who were here in
1880 will doubtless remember Demss
Strong, who was a merchant on street.
Mr.. Strong, who has resided in Brooklyn,
n. Y, since 1851, is now in the city, and is
stopping at the Golden Eagle Hotel. hav-
ing arrived yesterday morning, accompa-
MED by his daughters. Mrs. ]. D. Harris
and Miss Susie Strong.
MIR. Strong was the first President of the
first Common Council chosen in Sacra-
mento after the State was admitted into
the Union, and on the death of Mayor
Bigelow-who was killed in one of the
souatter riots that occurred so frequently in
those days-became acting Mayor of the
city.
To RECORD UNION reporter who called
upon Mr.. Strong last evening, the latter re-
lated many interesting sketches of the
memorable "winter of 40 and spring of
80" He arrived at the ''embarcadero,' or
landing, on the river front, on the 18th of
April, 1919. He was member of the
party of gold-seeking argonauts known as
the Eureka Gold Mining Company. They
were met dt ll6 Wy OdttCiy
who brought saddle horses down to the
river and escorted them out through trail
that led through the brush and oak trees
to the old fort. Here they were entertained
by him in a royal and hospitable manner,
wines, liquors and cigars following
sumptuouS meal.
After short rest the party set out for
Coloma, then the rendezvous of ali arriving
gold seekers. They had brought from New
York gold-washipg machine-a new
tangled concern invented by man who
knew nothing of gold ining-but il
seemed to be just the thing. party of
miners ct Coloma offered them $4,000 for it
as soon as they got into the camp, but the
offer was refused.
The next day the Eureka Gold Mining
Company set its machine up in the bed of
the creek near the old Suffer mill. Three
hours later the prospectors abandoned ii
and struck out, each on his own hook,
with pans and picks to make their fortunes
as others did. The machine was dead
failure.
Mr.. Strong, however, opened store in
Coloma, and then returned to Sacramento
and opened one here. He then went 10
San Francisco and started another there. AL
though he soon afterwsrd went back TO New
York, he retained his interests on the coast
for several years. In 1856 he came back
here with Colonel E. D, Baker TO stump
the State for General Fremont. While on
that visit he sold his Sacramento property,
consisting chiefly of line of lots on l
street, between Seventh and Eighth. An
over confident Democrat agreed to take
them at $500 esch twenty feet frontage) if
Fremont should carry New York State,
which the latter did.
Mr.. Strong has been a prominent figure
in New York politics, and is President of
the New York Society of California
Pioneers. He will remain in this city
few days, after which he will visit Coloma.
in company with his daughters, to show
them the spot where he did not dig gold

but where be made his first business
venture in the Golden State.

Shocking Accident at lincoln.

A gentleman of this city states that he
learns by letter that on Thursday last Mrs

caught fire, and she was so shockingly
burned that she died the next day.

neighbors generously raised money to de.
fray the expenses of the funeral. The I'M
fortunate woman left eight children, the
eldest of whom is but IL years of age.
