Who VIII Move (?

EDS. RECORD-UNIoN | see by Satur-
days papers that the Oakland people are
aroused over the ''poolroom outrage
and are blaming their City Council, and
say: "Tney are the ones who have be-
trayed as. We can forgive body of
public servants if they steal our money,
but we can not forgive them if they steal
the morals Of the city, the good name OF
our commonwealth; for taking teInpta-
ton and deliberately putting it in the
way OF ours boys, trying to deDauch their
morals and lead them to RUM
DO not these words apply with equal
force 70 the dives and saloons that are
continually receiving license here to ac-
complish the same ends? Shall we be
less solicitous for the youth OF Sacra-
mentO than are the Oakianders for their
young people? Or must the open doors
of saloons on every block continually
tempt them to their destruction?
Is there no remedy, and must we con-
tinue to admit that the liquor power has
Sacramento by the throat in more wavs
than one? recognize the extreme di1li-
Guilty of regulating the liquor interest
through parties whom the liquor interest
regulates; but are we to ever remain
helpless and dumb before its encroach-
ments? The supineneSS of the moral and
Christian elements of this community
over this matter Is alarming, for they will
not use their power. All honor to Mr..
Tracy for his bold stand. But individual
effort is futile. Words without deeds
are but blank cartridges in this cause.
The little Gideon's band of praying
mothers of the W. c. 7. T. would gladly
help, but they have no vote; SO their in
huence will not help in this contest. But
if all good citizens having the welfare OF
Sacramento at heart would in mass meet
ing protest, such d pressure of public
opinion would be needed and Sacramento
be turned upon the upgrade as regards
morality. AT most something IS needed
to diminish the licensing of places that
corrupt our youth. Who will move in
this matter? II. p. NJ.

Reply to General MARITIME.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: The commune
cation in your paper this morning signed
by j. G. MARITIME is such an extraordinary
one that l am at loss to find fitting terms
to reply. 1t is true that / was called
on tor permission to- use the Capitol
grounds for Open-air concerts, but 1t is
utterly untrue that refused, as stated in
the communication. On the contrary |
consented, and have subscribed for the
object. The assumption of Mr.. MARITIME
on the occasion of his visit, was that if /
consented nothing more was necessary,
to which | said that | was only one of the
Capitol Commissioners, that / did not
arrogate to myself the entire authority OF
the board, but that the others must be
consulted. He left with the full under
standing that | did not object.
On that OCCASION | said to the gentle
man who called, that. the gardener had
suggested that crowds OF men and boys,
climbing and jumping down the terraces,
injured them. l suppose the gardener
can see no reason for keeping standing
notices posted, warning individuals OFF
the terraces, and then inviting thousands
with music to do what they please on
them, the police of one having no control
over multitude; but / have not con
suited him on the subject.
The communication III the Bee pur-
porting to come from lady charging the
Janitor with being the main opponent OF
concerts in the Capitol grounas, is so out
OF Joint that it is 4 Wonacr il could find Il
place in Sacramento newspaper. Every
body IN the city ought to know the jani-
tor has nothing whatever TO do with the
Capitol grounds.
AS MIR. MARITIME declares he is not going
down on his marrow bones TO the Capitol
Commissioners to beg for the privilege OF
holding concerts in the Capitol Park, and
insists on some sort of obsequious con-
cession to him, it seems we are in duty
bound compelled to eat humble pie, or
the people must so without one good
place for their concerts.
It's terrible dilemma. Id1ltgnc a3ai-

RAMIB CULTURE.
The Plants Now Growing on Alkali
Soil.

The Plants Now Growing on Alkali
Soil.
On the other side of the railroad, near
Twelfth and a streets, is patch of few
acres of ramie growing in the alkali soil,
with the white spots around the plant,
proving that ramie roots will grow on
alkali lands. The knowledge of this fact
alone is worth much to the farmer who
has land OF that character.
Several acres of land have been secured
from Judge w. ii. Beatty, free of charge.
and ramie plants viii be set cut at an
early day on the overfowed lands along
the American River. Next season a
large acreage will probably be planted in
the vicinity referred to, which is the
home of the ramie, the plant requiring
considerable moisture.

Capitol Park and the Concerts.

EDS. RECORD UNION: 1t seems that
there is tempest in a teapot about the
use Of Capitol Park for free concert pur-
poses, which is all premature. The fact
is the commissioners have not acted on
the matter and furthermore cannot act
for the reason that no one has asked in a
proper manner for the use Of the grounds
If the Concert Committee will send in
request in writing-which is obviously
the only proper way-for the use of the
park, addressing it TO the Secretary Of the
Board OF Capitol Commissioners, will
do all that ! can to have a meeting OF the
board held and to have the matter
promptly settled. j. Il. MCDONALD,
Commissioner.

Their Latest Victim

Probably the most dishonest class of
men in the country are the professional
foot-racers. They tour the country in
pairs, and when one gets simpleton to
back him heavily his partner wins, and
then the Doodle is divided.
The latest case of this kind reported is
said to have occurred recently in this
a farmer named Kenny backed
q fieet-footed stranger to the amount of
$500 against another stranger, and the
latter won the money.
The farmer thinks he will confine him
self TO gathering hayseed hereafter.

Fifty Years of Married Life.

Half century is no brief span and
it is not often that we measure it as
the time two persons have lived to-
gether in uninterrupted peace and hap
piness as husband and wife. But oc
casionally it is SO and Wednesday Of
last week marked the lifteth anniver
sary of the marriage Of two of our VEN
cradle and most highly esteemed towns
people Mr. and Mrs. George II. Row
land. What changes have taken place,
what stirring events have been re-
corded on the pages OF history since
they stood rs manly groom and blush
ing bride and plighted their troth at the
marriage altar fifty years ago. And
how faithfully they have kept the vows
then made. Not word or act that
has carried the sting Of pain or regret
with it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rowland have raised
an honorable family of children. Their
oldest son Thomas jefferson. was killed
in the army while bravely fighting III
defense of his native Southland, while
John. the next oldest. met with an I'M
timely death some years ago i'll South
Carolina. being crushed by the engine
in an accident on his lumber road.
Walter w, the oldest living son. Is
successfully engaged in merchandising
and manufacturing tobacco in Hender-

turpentine farm near Sparks. Georgia.
and Frank p. the youngest, Is IN
charge of the railroad and telegraph
Office ut .Iessup. Ga. The daughters
are Mrs. John Il. Clack and Mrs. J. II.
Malone of this place.
1t had been their desire to have a
family reunion when all the children
could be brought together again under
the old roof tree and once more take
their wonted place around the flreslde,
but circumstances prevented. Ihree
sons in Georgia could not get here, but
two of them, Oliver and Charlie. sent

same time and some Of the playeys be-
coming ratified safe hit or a wild ball
did the business and the runs were
scored. Lanicr and Lyon were the
