On Tuesday afternoon thirty-two members
of Sloan and Sacramento Lodges, /. o. G. T.,
left the city in two large pleasure wagons, one
drawn by six horses and the other by four,
for the purpose of paying a fraternal visit to
the lodge at Rocklin. A very pleasant trip
itors were taken in charge by members of the
local lodge and royalty entertained. After
initiating candidate a fine musical and liter
airy programme was given by both the Wis
itors and the home members. A presentation
was made to the lodge of a fine Lodge Dcpu-
tys regalia. The presentation was made by
George b. katZenstein, of Sacramento, and re-
sponded to by the Lodge Deputy of Rocklin
Lodge, Carlton l.. Glow. Presentations being
in order, Bert Katzenstein arose and stated
that the visitors all knew that 1t was no little

halfof the visitors to Edgar II. Rivett a gold
scarfpin, to show him their appreciation OF
what he had done in the way of managing
the visit. The recipient was taken by sur

words in the way of thanks. The party left
Roeklin about O'Clock and arrived home at
O'Clock, all agreeing they could not have
spent a more pleasant time.

CONTESTED ELECTION CASE.
The Case OF Campbell Against Eal1Ie
Submitted.

The Case of Campbell Against EakIe is
Submitted.
The Assembly Committee on Elections
met last evening and considered the case
of contestant J. c. Campbell versus III. P.
Eakle, respondent, having seat in the
Assembly. Contestant introduced depo-
SitionS of forty-two witnesses, taken be-
fore a commission in Colusa, also docu-
mentary evidence in maintenance of his
claim.
His claim before the committee was that
at the Willows Precinct No. 2, at the late
election, tifty-tiye names were added to
the poll-list after the polls were closed.
and in the numerical order in which they
appeared on the Great Register, with but
three breaks. BY mathematical reason
ing he claimed that only by collision and
fraud could the names have been added.
His'claim also was that forty-two wit
nesses on the poil-list testified that they
did not vote at the precinct.
The respondent introduced witnesses
to prove that attempted purchases Of votes
were made in the interest of the opposing
ticket. He introduced witnesses to show
that the election was conducted hon
estly and in accordance with law. The
case was argued for the contestant by
John t. Harrington and Grove l.. John
son, and for respondent, Garrett Nc
Emery, of San Francisco, and III. NJ. AL
berry, of Colusa, appeared.
The case was submitted and the COM
mittee resolved to meet to-day and make

DIR. Glenn's great wheat farm in Colusa
county produces on $4,000 acres, in good
years, 200 900 sacks of grain, worth about
one-1ourth as much as the Vaca Valley
crop ON Z, 200 acres; or one acre of fruit in
Vaca Valley is worth as much as twenty
acres OF wheat in Colusa County, and the
profits are in almost as great dispropor-
ton, favorable to the fruit-grower. A. L.
Hatch recently informed me that from
his Suisun Valley orchard of 500 acres,
this year he has received Sl60, 900, and not
over 800 acres gave him crop.
}. 5. Cone owns in Tehama County, /
think, the finest ranch in the world, of
nearly lOO, 900 acres-one-fifth of which is
rich river-bottom land, cultivated to
wheat. He runs over 10000 sheep and
quantities of other stock on his land. He
is one of the best farmers in the State.
And yet Mr.. Hatch got more money this
year from 500 acres of fruit land than Mr..
Cone got from all his splendid possess
sions.
l must apologize for being personal in
my illustrations, but 1 have permission
to use these facts. Mr.. Cone tells me that
five years ago he rented little tract of
land to some Cinnamon. They planted
800 French prune trees and this year he
paid them 5000 for their crop-equal to
500 an acre gross.
Mr.. Cone is a large wheat grower, but
he believes in fruit and already has over
300 acres planted to fruit trees.

BURNED TO THE GROUND.
Loss of a Richly-Furnished Dwelling
Near Costumes.


Atnoon on Tuesday the dwelling-house
owned and occupied by Mrs. M. A.
Alvord and Mrs. o. North, together
with the windmill, tank house and wood
shed, were burned to the ground. The
house, which is about mile from Cosum-
mes Postoffice, was formerly the dwell
ing of Mrs. S. P. Grimshaw, from whom
it was recently purchased.
The fire started between the ceiling and
roof, from a defective flue in the kitchen,
and the high north wind which prevailed
at the time soon famed the flames into q
fury. Some of the neighbors, seeing the
smoke, got on the scene in time to get out
the piano and some of the furniture.
The house was richly furnished
throughout, and much costly furniture,
silver-plate, jewelry and wearing apparel
was lost. The large barn, which stood
about $50 feet southeast from the house,
was fortunately saved. The parties esti-
mate their loss at about $1,000, on which
there is some insurance.

That our mortgaged Indebtedness is

That our prosperous agricultural coun-

That our large landed estates are CO.

This is the condition. Now the remedy.

Tho Paramount Question.

/ receive on an average 200 letters a
day commencing the bill I introduced in
the senate by which money can be bor-
rowed on land from the government at
2per cent. per annum. 1t is impossible,
Of course, for Inc to read them all, but l
do the best l can. The interest shown
everywhere in the bill proves that the
financial question is really paramount to
all others now before the country. The
farmer, of course, will be benefited by
my bill should it become law. Any
one who has tillable land or ever buys it
ON credit will be able to borrow money
from the government at such low rate
of interest he can afford to go into debt
little.
Some one asked me what would be
done in case land owner should become
insolvent and unable to pay the interest
to the government. That is very easy
to answer. There would be plenty of
men ready to buy land, borrow money
at 3 per cent. from the government and
go ahead as if the insolvency had never
occurred. The sub-treasury bill advo-
Gated by the Farmers Alliance simply

money and forever do away with money

A German Farmers Alliance.

The Projects of Emperor William
which menace all of the protected in.
dustrles, agricultural and industrial,
in Germany, are arousing keen "pposi
ton i'll that country. The German
Farmers Alliance .ccently adopted rcso.
lutons declaring that the maintenance
of the corn laws was necessary to the
prosperity of the ptasantry. Count Won
Moltke telegraphed to a meeting Of the
alliance that he himself was farmer
and that they might rely upon his active
cooperation. Prince Bismarck has also
promised to support the alliance. An
immense petition is being circulated for
signatures in Hanover against n reduc-
ton of the tariff on Austrian corn.

The Alliance Corner Stone.

Several careless newspapers, notably
The Omaha Bee, have published mac
citrate reports of the proceedings of the
late Farmers Alliance convention in
Omaha, and then proceeded to condemn
editorially the Alliance for doing what
itdid not do.
One of the most egregious blunders of
this kind was in first reporting and then
ondemning the passage of resolution
medium to $50 per person, the new
money thus issued to be loaned to states
x&-8 pcr cent, the states to loan to the
counties at per cent. and the counties
toloan to individuals at per cent.
The convention did not pass the reso-
intion. 1t did not consider it. No such
resolution was presented. The careless
editor who so freely condemns the farm
eS monetary views on all occasions,
and who seized this one, probably re-
fers TO a resolution which was presented
but rejected, by the terms Of which 1t
was proposed that the nation loan TO the
states at per cent, the states to coun-
hes. at per cent, and the counties to
individuals at 8 per cent. He therefore
reversed the conditions of the resolution
which he condemns, and he reported it
ashaving passed, whereas it was rejected.
As a matter of fact, the convention
passed a resolution favoring government
loans to the people not exceeding 5000
torany individual at 2 per cent. interest
ON real estate double the value Of the
loans.
There is one principle which is invaria-
by the corner stone of the Alliance plat
form and the source of Alliance strength
among the people-the demand for an
increase in the supply of money.
On that principle the Alliance will
gfin what it gains, and if it meets with
success in the future it will be due to
the advocacy of that single, strong and
growing demand which many outside
the Alliance know to be just.--Omaha
World Herald.
