REED IS THERE.
Continued from First Paas.

Speaker shall be sustained. OF course, Mr..
Reed did not act entirely on his own notion.
He consulted with the leaders of his party
or, at least, told them what he had de-
termined upon.
Among those who are enthusiastic over
the situation is Representative Dalzell. 81

prejudiced mind, can fail 10 see that he is
right and he should have the earnest sup

THINKS THE FIGHT OVER.
'I believe the fight is over, and that by
2 or o'clock tomorrow afternoon I shall
be delivering my speech on the Smith VS..
jackson contested election case. 1 suppose
there will be a brief fight tomorrow over
the reading of the journal, with probably
one roll call. Then, possibly, there may be
one call on a'dilatory motion to adjourn. I
think that will be all. 1t is conceded on all
hands that the Republicans worsted the
opposition at every turn to-day. do not
think Mr.. Carlisle desires to continue the
fight, and believe the last expiring groan
Of the advocates of delay and flibustering
will be heard in the early hours of to-mOr-
rows session"
The substantial and serious features of
the session of to-day were the speeches of
Butterworth and Mckinley. It's conceded
on all hands that they were mastery.
While Butterworth was logical, ne fairly
bubbled over with good humor, and his
witty sallies did much to restore good feel

JUSTICE, KINDNESS AND PEACE.
O'Brien's Opinion of the Policy Advocated
by Mr.. Gladstone.

LONDON, January 80. - Mr.. William
O'Brien was received at Leeds with an en-
thusiastic demonstration of the Liberal
party. He predicted that the policy of
calumny toward Mr.. Parnell and the Irish
nation would recoil upon its inventors and
the enemies of the Irish cause.
He could perceive, he said, that the con-
science of the Irish people was turning, like
the needle to the pole, toward the policy of
Justice, kindness and peace, wherewith
Providence had inspired Mr.. Gladstone.

Have Not Been Alarmed.

Have Not Been Alarmed.
LISBON, January 30.-The leading Brit
ish residents deny that they ever did or ever
intend to request Mr.. Gladstone to inter-
vene in their favor. It appears that the
whole movement was in the hands of two
British subjects. One OF these was the
clerk of Portuguese firm; the other was a
merchant of German extraction.
They convened a meeting of some sort to
memorialize Mr.. Gladstone that British res
idents in Portugal were unprotected.

CIelIand's Challenge.
The challenge of E. c. McClelland, which ap-
peared in THE DISPATCH some time ago to the
effect that he would run anybody in the world
ten miles. is now answered by an Englishman
from his home. This indicates that the news
rendered by this paper travels very far and in
a very direct manner. The reply of course
does not go to the l0mile limit, but it begins
with the minimum under three miles. Courtney

WHY REED Is HATED.

One Democrat said to THE DISPATCH
correspondent that if either Butterworth or
Burrows had been Speaker the Democrats
would not have made such frenzied assault
on the Chair, but would have soon yielded.
Reed, however, has belabored the Democrats
numerically so many times that the ruling
on the quorum question was tenfold more
aggravating than it would have been other
wise. AS it was, there never before had
been seen in Congress such disgraoeful hurl-
ingo nasty epithets at the Speaker. Through
it all, however, Mr.. Reed was as imperturb-
able as man of wood, and as relentless as
the Veriest autocrat. LIGHTNER.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Many Sporting Admirers Make a Request
About the Priddy- -McCIeIIaud Race.
Peter Priddy has now commenced active
training for his race with McClelland. Priddy
is under the watchful and experienced eye of
George Smith, and probably he could not have
secured a better trainer in the country. Priddy
is taking daily ''spins'' at Exposition Park
Yesterday. speaking Of the track, Trainer
Smith said:
"We have been looking at the track, and
there will only be about $50 yards lnJerfered

right for the race on March l."
Regarding the date of the race, the follow
ing communication was received at this Office

Mr.. Turner, of Georgia, believed that if the
wild view presented here was once engrafted
on the practice of the House it would inaugu-
rate a reign Of anarchy and profigacy un-
precedented in the annals of the country. He
controverted the power of the Speaker to have
the names entered on the journal. The
Speaker had no more control over the minutes
than he (Mr. Turner) had. If the Speaker
wanted to put on the journal this stigma at.
taching to his name. why had he (TuTner) not
as much right, as q member Of the House, as
the Speaker to direct the clerk to omit his
name from the journal? And when the issue
was thus stated to the officer who was to decide
it would the officer bow to the gentle
man into whose hands the gavel had
been put as the one man who could control the
journal, and should he (Turner) be powerlessf

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT FRANCHIsE

Referring again to the electric light
franchise now in process of passage by the
Board of City Trustees, we wish to i'm
press upon the minds of the people the
danger of granting any such franchise for
the term of fifty years, and the grave mis-
take it viii be to grant it for any term
out many carefully considered and
clearly expressed restrictions.
We are not opposed, let it be UNDER
stood, 10 the granting of this franchise.
On the contrary, it ought to be granted
under proper restrictions, irrespective of
any opposition that may possibly develop,
or that has been shown by existing COM
panies. Our suggestions do not arise out
of any partisanship, nor are they pro-
noted by any luminosity to the new
scheme. We stand for the best interests
of the people of the city OF Sacramento,
and the course of the RECORD UNION all
these years should be the best guarantee
of its sincerity in this matter. We there
fore warn the people once more that there
is about to be granted for the period of
half century, from. their bounty, right
with which they cannot thereafter at all
interfere, to use the streets, alleys and ave-
nues of Sacramento above and below
ground, for any and all possible purposes
that the grantees may see fit in the use of
electricity as an agent for money making;
that to this grant there does not attach a
solitary restriction; not even as ordinary
a one as requires a political committee to
clear up the spot on which it builds bon
fire in the street.
1t does not seem possible that any body
of men having the city's interests in their
keeping, under the solemnity of their
oaths can commit such folly as granting
the franchise in its present form. We are
but upon the threshold of electrical dis
covery; what even a year may bring forth
in that direction no man can forecast; we
are prepared to receive almost any propo-
sition as to the uses of electricity and its
power as possible, in the light and history
of the advance of the science in the last
dozen years. 1t is the hight of folly, there
fore, to grant to any body of citizens, no
matter what their social and business
standing, absolutely unrestricted right to
use the highways of the city as they see
fit, for any future application of electrical
currents. We ought to retain to the city the
right at any time to modify the method of
the use of the streets by such corpora
ton. We ought to require of it that it
repair the streets it disturbs; that it shall
not by its constructions impede the work.
ing of any of the departments of the city
government, or expose the lives and prop
erty of the people to new perils. If such
restrictions were not put into the fran
ehises already granted to other companies
it was a serious error, and is no reason
why we should continue in that error
We know a deal more about electricity
and its uses now than we did three or four
years ago, and We shall, in all probability,
know great deal more about it three
years hence.
The REcoRD-US1oN cautioned the Trus-
tees to @go slow" in this matter some days

AcCUMULATING STRENGTH OF THE
BALLOT REFORM.

Ballot reform agitation israpidly spread
ing, and is engaging daily more and more
the attention of the people. 1t is by per-
sistence only that its ends are to be ac-
complished. Its enemies are not few, and
the devices to which they will resort to pre-
vent its adoption are those of the trickster
politicians. What they most fear is the
agitation of the subject, since they well
know that the legislation II State must
sooner or later reflect the sentiment of the
people behind the legislative body. For
this reason the enemies of the reform de-
plore the prominence the press Of the
country is now giving the subject, and are
bestirring themselves to prevent, so far as
they can. the education of the public
mind upon the question through the
newspaper press. Unless all estimates of
the future are wrong, as forecast by the
ballot reformers, the new system has come
to STAY. and will, before the close of the
century, be enacted into law in every
State of the Union. The testimony ac-
cumulates of the growing strength of the
reform sentiment, as the following compila-
ton reveals, and which is additional to
that already published in these columns.
The Albany Argus, Democratic, pro-
nouncing for it says:
We hone that an honest ballot bill, based on
the essentials of the Australian system, NAY oe
snsc,a5 THE practical working Of the ballot
laws of various States during the year furnishes
a find OF positive information to determine the
form of measure Tor this State.

THE sensational press that worked the
people of the East into the belief that we
have had great floods in the State, and
that we are all objects of charity in con-
sequence, viii now be compelled to ex-
plain to the people of the States beyond
the mountains that there is no food dis
tress in California after all; that our SYM
pathetic friends on the Atlantic side may
draw to their purse strings again, and that
there is no necessity to form relief COM
mittees, since there is no one to be re-
lieved. Now that the East has been so
sadly misled, we trust that the gentlemen
of the sensational press are satisfied with
their work.

THE RIVER CONVENTION.

The call for the River Convention has
been sent out 1t is not too early to sug-
gest, that peoplemay think the matter over
at length, that when delegates come up to
the Convention its work may not be re-
tarded and its purpose crippled by taking
up any incidental questions. The one and
only purpose of the Convention is to press
upon the attention of the Federal Govern
ment the need for the restoration of the
naEigability of the river, and its protec-
tion from injury thereafter by reason of
neglect on the part of the Government. 1t
makes no difference whatever what the
delegates may think concerning the meth
DDS that should be adopted for the accom-
plishment of the ends in view. The in
slant the Convention enters upon the
consideration of such matters it will
founder. The one thing is to commit the
Government TO the proposition that the
river should be treated by It, and in COM
prehensive and systematic manner. The
questions of means and method are second
airy, and regardless of what the Convention
may say the Government viii act in such
matters only after investigation by Its own
engineers or Commissioners, and according
to their reports of the need for action of a
particular character.
Let the delegates come up to the Con-
vention fully impressed with the import
ance of not overlooking the memorial it is
to send out, with matter that will create
discussion on unsettled issues, or involve
this, that or the other system of work that
should be engaged in by the Federal Gov
eminent The question of reclamation,
of mining, of drainways, of relief
canals, of enlargement of the mouth of
the river, of cutting off bends, Of levee-
ing, of dredging, and all such matters,
should be untouched by the Convention.
Let it present the facts as they are, the
value of the river as a free highway and
as drain to the valley, its commercial
importance, its present condition COM
pared to that in the early days Of the
State, and then appeal to Congress to
order its treatment solely on the basis of
restoring and preserving its navigability
to all the people of all the land. If the
Federal Government can be moved to do
what is unquestionably its duty, the pur-
pose of the Convention will have been ac-
complished. All the questions of means
and methods viii be proper enough sub
jects upon which to address the Commits
sion that it is hoped the Government will
create for the treatment of the river, and
there will be time enough to discuss them
when such a Commission is raised. If,
however, the Convention gets into the
deep water of arguing the case in its memoir
ial as to causes or remedies, the result will
be disastrous. Let it be wise in its day,
and confue itself to the one great purpose
of its creation.

before they acted upon the granting of the
franchise, and the warning was given be-
cause We feared that would happen which
has happened. The matter is now up for
reconsideration, and We again warn the
Trustees that if they persist in their pres
ent course they will find cause to regret it
within the next two years, or else sci
entists and electricians are wofully mis-
taken concerning the direction that cleo
trical science is taking and the develop
ments that it is on the eve of manifesting.
As to the contract for lighting the
streets, we reiterate the opinion already
expressed, that the right thing to do is to
declare all bids off; postpone the letting
of the contract until the new company has
had full opportunity to establish its plant
and fit itself to bid, with ability to under
take performance SO soon as the contract is
awarded. Surely there can be raised to
such proposition no reasonable objection.
If this is not done the Trustees will have
placed the city OF Sacramento in the hu-
initiating attitude of having granted a
franchise which the applicants fatty say
they consider of no value whatever, unless
there is given with it the contract to
light the streets. No corporation ever
before in the history of any municipal
government made such monstr Us propo-
sition; no city in the world ever be-
fore acceded to such an unblushing de-
mand. The applicants cannot cite single
instance paralleling this.
We are aware that large number of
citizens petitioned the Trustees to grant
the franchise, but we are confident that
not one Of those petitioners viii to-day
stand up in the face of the people and say
that he intended to ask the Trustees @
grant the valuable right without any re-
strictions whatever. If there is any such
petitioner, in the name of curiosity let
him arise that men may look upon him.
On the contrary, we know that the petit
TONERS understood that if the franchise
was granted it would be hedged about by
those wise restrictions which common bus
mess sense dictates. This is all that is
now asked, and not less than this can the
City Trustees do for the people and retain
their respect and confidence.
