being the Senatorial election plank. They
are plainly stated, and touch upon topics
Of State and national interest. They
commit one of the great parties of the
State to policies that it has not heretofore
manifested any special concern about, in
the main. But the party is committed to
some positive reforms, and there is that
much assurance of some wise legislation in
the next Legislature, since both parties
are in accord on most of the propositions
named. That the Democratic party should
fall in at the tail end of the procession
in the tax limit idea, and that concerning
ballot reform, provokes smile; but still
it is gain, very considerable gain, and
for which the friends OF State economy
and clean politics at the polls have cause
to congratulate themselves.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-08-21

The Democrats in session at San Jose
adopted resolution that they are Gin
favor of the General Government fostering
and encouraging the mining industry
whenever the same can be done without in
jury to Others" Well, who is not in favor
Of it? Why should plank have been
inserted that is so utterly unnecessary
Where is the man to be found or read Of,
who is or was opposed to the fostering Of
the mining industry where it can be pros
ecuted without injury to others. Such
bait will not catch votes. True, there is
some ambiguity about the words "foster-
ing and encouraging" but of course what
was meant by the terms was, such encour-
agement as may by Government wisely and
legitimately be given to private industry.
And who has ever said or thought may
to such proposition?

THE San Jose platform denounces the
ruling of Speaker Reed-as every one ex-
pecsed it to do-that prevents quorum
bodily present from obstructing public
business by refusal to answer to the call of
the roll. Upon that issue the Republican
party can well go to the people. If there
ever was necessary, wise and just rule,
it is that which the House has raised upon
the basis of the Speakers ruling. To the
Judgment of the American people the ma
jority in Congress can with confidence
appeal upon the question of the righteous
ness of Rule Is.

LAND JUMPERS,
Disputed Land About TempIeton Being
Squatted Upon.

TEMPLEroE (Cal), August Goth. = The
very latest is that few land hunters are
still arriving aud squatiing upon the dis
puted land and that General Murphy has
taken the necessary steps to serve papers
upon all intruders
The San Luis Tribune to day says: Rumor
is further whispered that Baron Won
Schroeder had to take hand in the mat
ter and had been making researches in the
archives at the City of Mexico with disas-
trous effect. Itseems that another heavy
contingent of squatters is marching on the
ranch from Templeton. 1t is very possible
that the grant was originally fraudulent.
That would be nothing new, but neverthe-
less Uncle Sam had his day in Court and
ought to have shown up the fraud when
the patent was issued. Probably il is too
late now to try 10 upset it. The people are
determined to correct the fraudulent title

The speciaI Act Valid.

NEVADA, August 20th-Judge Walling
this morning decided that the special Act

of Education for Nevada School District,

of the district shall be managed by Board
of Education created by the Act of 1874, or
by three School Trustees elected under the
general school law of the State. A decis-
