UNCLE SETH ON THE CAR.

With a coat nv mail
With an iron tail
Thet bangles ag'in
His pants nv tin,
The car he walks with rattlin' roar,
Like yearthquake through or hardware store.
His boots or zinc,
They clank an clink
With rattiin' peal
On his socks er steel;
Wen he sets on his throne it soun's by gum
Like tin pan fallin' onto a drum.
But then his shirt
Won't show the dirt;
It's made of iron
Thet's hard to pry on,
With a bosom front of wife steel plate
Thet dynamite bomb can't penetrate.

My later crop,
An the luv NV little Tom an his mar
Fer the hull wide kingdom nv the car.

under which their client was tried and
sentenced, did not apply to this city.
Deputy City Attorney w. L. Dunn ap-
peared for the respondent, and vigor-
usly attacked the enemy's works. with
the result that the court ordered the
proceedings dismissed and the prisoner
remanded to the custody OF the chief OF
police.
The Halstead petty larceny case was
then taken up. j. A. Donnell, ESQ.,, and
the district attorney measuring swords
over the question as to whether or not
the Whitney act was unconstitutional,
as claimed, in that it provided that
petty larceny should be punishable by
imprisonment in the city Jail, in contra
vention to the provisions of the penal
code, which specified the county Jail.
This was matter which the court took
under advisement, the case being sub
mitted.
In the appeal case OF Angel Montijo,
convicted of petit larceny in the police
court in February last, the respondent
was allowed two days in which to file it's
brief, the cause thereupon to be submit
ted.
Six of the sixteen applicants for ad-
mission to practice in the supreme court
of the state were examined, and at 4 80
O'Clock court adjourned until 10 O'Clock

THE ORANGE CARNIVAL.
SIX CARS OF THE FRUIT ARRIVE IN
GOOD ORDER.
The Weather Something Abominable in
the Lake City-The Stock of Tickets
Exhausted.

Several letters from Superintendent
Hanchetta were received yesterday,
which had been delayed by a snow
blockade on some Of the lines leading
out of Chicago. The letters tell OF the
arrival of the head carpenter and the
beginning OF the work at the exposition
building. They tell also OF the interest
which the great show is beginning to
arouse among Chicago people, which is
evinced by the appearance in the Chi
cago Herald of last Tuesday of column
illustrated article, and also by the fact
that the railways are arranging for ex-
cursions into the city from various
points along their lines.
Mr.. Hanchette complains bitterly of
the weather in Chicago, which he says
alternately rains and SHOWS, and is
cold, damp, windy and generally un-
bearable.
Yesterday afternoon telegram was
received from Mr.. Hanchette stating
that six cars had arrived over the Santa
Fe, and the fruit was in excellent con-
dition. Sunday afternoon telegram
came from j. w. Cook to the effect that
the outlook was good for great sue
cess.
The stock of tickets and invitations
ran out Saturday afternoon, but all day
yesterday people who had friends in
Chicago continued to call and ask for
them. A large sign was finally posted
on the doors of the chamber to the effect
that no more were to be had, but many
would not take no for an answer, and
persistently asked. There were 10000
OF these tickets. "good for the first night
only" issued and sent from Southern
California. In probably 5000 instances
they were sent with personal letter
recommending the carnival on its merits
as show. The opening night will
probably be we'll attended, and the car
nival will start in with great eclat.
The carnivalopens next Monday night,
and runs for two weeks, or longer if the
fruit lasts. Several letters have been
received from various members OF the
party written en- route, and they appear
to be having very jolly time, though
all are expecting hard work at the other
end.
The Chicago Society Of California Pio-
neers has been invited to be present on
the opening night, and the invitation
has been accepted. The society has sixty
members.

General MARITIME Explains Himself.


EDS. RECORD UNION: 1t is proverbial
with some people of this city to be on the
watch, and when some one who mani
tests interest enough in her affairs to ex-
press himself Gas every taxpayer has
right to do he is almost sure to be set on
by the above-named citizens. 1t is not
from any ilI-feelings-n at all-but
from an inward cussedness born in the
man; and one of these people, who signs
himself "a City Man, takes ME to task
for some suggestions l made to NeaVs
reporter few evenings ago, in which /
am reported as saying that / favored
separate city government.
What l meant at that interview was
that this city needed a new charter, and
that it should provide for board of fif-
teen Aldermen to govern this city, and
this body should select a Mayor from
among their number, and all to serve
without pay; and if the Constitution per-
mitted, l should have this Board of
Councilmen hire all our city officers, and
especially our police force. This would
take the latter out of politics, and then
each officer would know his place was
dependent on his fitness, and not, as
now, upon the influence of every pot
house politician who would have them
believe that they had pull with the
powers LnaC De.
This is what I wished to convey. Yes,
we sorely need new charter. This city
has outgrown her baby clothes. Three
Trustees is not sufficient body to gov
ern city the size of Sacramento. We
should have at least fifteen, and then the
fatal combination, two against one,
would be obliterated.
And word about our levees. Why, in
the name of common sense, are they not
attended to before the winter rains set in?
Or, is it the intention to let them remain
as last winter-wait till the water is at
the very top of the levees and then spend
thousands of dollars in piling up sacks of
dirt in order 10 temporarily keep the
water out?
Bah with such way of doing bust
ness! 1t is like child's play. Why don't
our Trustees be men, and go about this
business in proper manner? Let the
water ever enter this city and her loss
Will be millions of dollars. Then, why
not spend fifty or a hundred thousand
dollars on them that they may be abso-
lutely secure, rather than take any
chances?
l think both the RECoRD-UNIoN and
Bee are making mistake in discourage
ing this appropriation in its entirety.
That is, if the money will be honestly
spent, and where it is needed, for l am
sure that there is not taxpayer in this
city who begrudges a few dollars in his
regular tax to make his property abso-
lutely safe from this ever present danger.
