EDS. RECoRD-U UNION: There is an APP
pointment pending in the Governors Of
ice awaiting his Excellency's sigma
ture which, though Of no lucrative inn
portance to any individual, we feel should
be wisely considered, inasmuch that the
man appointed to take charge of the Mar
shall Monument and surrounding
grounds should have had some past ex-
perience in taking care Of public works,
so that when visited by tourists the State
may feel proud of her piece of work here
IN FL Dorado, and point with pride to the
terraced well-kept mound and monu-
ment which marks the resting place Of J.
w. Marshall, discoyerer of gold, at Co
Iona.
Irrespective ofpolitical "wire-pulling,"
the guardianship of the monument
should be awarded to the most deserving
citizen and the most efficient man for the
place, Ezra N. Smith, of Coloma-a man
who has devoted his life TO the well-being
OF his fellow-men; who has ever been
ready to assist the needy and INDECENT,
and who literally gave TO James Mar
shall when our State legislated against
the pIttance asked for Marshall by his
friends.
say, in all sincerity. that, could Mar
shall voice be heard in the matter, the
nils around the historic spot would
TeNerberate with his earnest appeals for
his benetactor during life.
+. NJ. Smith has long kept pleasure
gardens, with museum attached. just for
the entertainment of young and old The
second generation are partaking of his
hospitality now, the same as did their
predecessors. No remuneration has ever
been asked for by Mr.. Smith, though he
incurred great expense to repienish, add
10 and keep in repair this place OF enter
1ainment.
This evidence of exertion in baaut;ev-
ing his own surroundings for the pleas

A portion of Tunnel No 10 located OF

ridiculous. Ifthere were, my good friend,
j. c. MARITIME, would be in danger of in
dictment. In one ofyour contemporaries
he says there is no other city in the State,
except Sacramento, that is hampered and
harrassed by county government. He
would have city government para
mount Mr.. NJ. should inform himself
before he elucidates law. What he says
is not true. Under the Constitution the
State is divided into counties for con-
yenience. Communities mag organize as
cities. By special Act San Francisco has
a consolidated city and county govern
ment. Sacramento tried it once and soon
abandoned the system.
If the city We're independent of the
county in all things where would her
people go to prosecute their rights in
courts? The city as much as the county
is benefited by roads, courts, and by ali
county government. The county receives
and maintains our prisoners, keeps our
real estate records, runs our higher
courts, builds our bridges, constructs our
roads and regulates many matters vitality
important to us as citizens of the state.
The county does not legislate for the city,
the city does not legislate for the county.
Why should we not pay for county
legislation due share, as we elect three
Of the legislators-a majority of the board?
But it is absurd to debate a question that
is one-sided. We cannot "cut loose from
county government unless we cut loose
from State and National Government.
There is not city in the nation free from
county government, not even san Fran
cisco. She has county and city courts,
Chief of Police and Sheriff, City Prison
and County Jail, City Hospital, County
AimshOuse, and so on.
We do govern ourselves "indepandent
OF county affairs now; all we have 10 do
with the county is our gain. Without
the county and country the city would be
no city. The General talks much that is
not sensible, and much that is good; but
us lie rushes into print to give us new
plans for government, he should read
the Constitution Of the state of which he
is proud to be citizen. \ CITY MAN.

The Board of Supervisors have been
down to inspect the work that is going
on on the Freeport road, and they are
much pleased with what has been done.
Over mile of the road has been grav-
eled in fine style, and in the course of a
couple Of months the road viii be with
out doubt the finest in the county. The
strip that is now being grayeled is the
portion of the road which has heretofore
given much trouble in winter TO those
who We're compelled to traverse the road.
Two years ago. during the wet weather,
it was impossible to get over this strip
with an empty wagon, and last winter it
was almost as bad. The residents of that
vicinity became eXasperated, and held a
meeting, the result of which was the ap-
pointment Of a committee, whose duty it
was to devise ways and means for having
the road put into fit condition for travel
the year round. The Supervisors agreed
TO pay one-third OF the cost, and the citi-
zens living along the road, as well as
those who had to use it, subscribed the
other tWo-thi:dS.

1t is a Mexican orchid. with long,
climbing stems and thick, heshy leaves.
The earliest European travellers in Mex
leo found the vanilla used as a condiment
with chocolate. The Spaniards intro
duced it into Europe Toward the end
Of the nth century the vanilla reached
France and was used to flavor chocolate
and tobacco. In England it was first
valued as a drug, and it was not until the
idea Of its medical value was exploded that
Il came into general use in cooking. The
supply of vanilla, which is obtained from
the fruit or seed pod. was originally de-
rived from Mexico. but of late years
much attention has been given TO cuIti-
vating this plant in other parts Of the
tropics, and it is now produced in Bour
