LEGISLATIVE NOTES.


Ex-senator Jones, of Butte, briphtened
the lobbies of the Legislative chambers
yesterday with his presence.
just before the close Of the Senate YES
terday, on motion of Mr.. Mead, the Com
mttee on Public Buildings was in
stricted to inquire into the matter of the
uneven ventilation of the Senate Cham
per, ana To report some plan to improve
The same. Another Senator moved to
amend by requiring the committee to de-
wise some method for improving The
plumbing and sewerage Of the building.
and the amendment was carried nnani-
mouSiy. The evils complained of GER
taIniy need attention.
The Senate yesterday, BY a vote of 95
to q, passed the bill providing that the
State Printer shall be elected at the same
tlinc and III the same manner as other
State officials. This is measure that
the RECORD UNION has championed from
the ilrSt, and one that is calculated to re-
suit in great good if enacted into law.
Under the present system the sIperin-
tenGent oi that department is seriously
handicapped by the interference of poli-
tlcianS and members Of the Legislature
at every session, and it is q source of
mnchsannoyance also to thC Executive.
VINO IS charged with the responsibility
Tor It's correct management. All Gov
ernors may not be as fortunate in their
selection OF men TO conduct so important
an institution as have most of those in
the past, and it is right and proper that
the state Printer should be responsible
dlrectly to the people for it's manage
ment. The Assembly should now take
up and pass the Senate bill, regardless OF
the efforts Of the book ring to belittle the
Office and destroy its standing among the
departments OF The State Government.
The State Printing Office is one of the
public institutions whose proper supervi-
sion is OF GonentouS importance 10 the
people, and the Legislature should not
ignore nor overlook this fact.
1t it said that it has been agreed by all
the belligerents that further considera-
ton ofthe Fire Commissioners bill shall
be deferred till Tuesday Of next week.

waited until afler 8 o'clock, and Mr..
Shortridge not having appeared the meet
ing was adjourned. The gentleman came
up from San Francisco on the evening
train, however, and may be accorded a
hearing to-day or this evening
The various committees have about
cleared their files, and from this date
there will be little committee work done.

CLERKS AS LOBBYISTS.
Mr.. Phillips rose 10 a question of privi-
lege He asked to be informed rs to the
duties Of clerks of committees and of the
House. 1t appeared TO him that some of
them considered part of their duties to
consist in lobbying and talking to mem
bers on the floor OF the House with the
view of influencing them in their votes.
The Speaker replied that no clerk or
attache had any right to be so engaged,
and any member cognizant of such a case
should report it.

the State Capitol, was, on motion of Mr..
Dibbie, amended by reducing the APP

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
A message was received from the Gov
ernor in relation to Notarics Public.
The Executive said he had supposed that
NotarieS Public were provided for the
benefit of all the people, and not for a few
alone; but some years ago the Legisla-
ture enacted a law limiting the number
of NotarieS in the counties of san Fran
cisco, Los Angeles and Solano. The OPP
Grafton Of this law works a great incOn-
venience to attorneys and others, especi-
ally in the county of Los Angeles. and
he (the Governor) respectfully suggested
to the Legislature the adyisability OF en-
acting a law removing the limitation on
the number OF NotarieS in the counties
named.

LuNACY AND FINANCE. .


The bin for warehousing silver bull
ion drawn by the Harrison admins
tration, steered by John Sherman
and passed by the Reed Congress is a
timely illustration of the shortcom-
ings of the "Subtreasury BILL" which
is drawn on the same principle, ex-
cept that the advocates Of Federal
storage for wheat are foolish enough
to want their wheat back instead OF
having their legal tender certificates
of deposits issued to them at its gold
value and redeemble in gold or silver
coin at the discretion Of the Secretary
OF the Treasury.
II they would amend their Sub
treasury bill by taking the Harrison
Sherman Bullion Storage act and SUBJ
shutting ''unperishable farm pro-
ducts for "silver bullion" they could
do q great deal that the bullion specu-
lators can do under the Sherman act,
but which could not be done under
the Subtreasury bill.
Where bullion Spectator now
takes 1000 ounces OF bullion for stor-
age in the Treasury, the farmer or
wheat Spectator could then take l.
600 bushels OF wheat to the Treasury
or Subtreasury. Wheat being worth
81 a bushel in gold, on storing it he
would receive a thousand dollar legal
tender certificate Of deposit, which
the secretary Of the treasury would
be authorized to redeem, not in wheat
but in gold.
By this storage the fall in wheat in
mill would not affect him disastrously.
He would not have to pay margins or
storage fees. On the contrary, il
wheat fell from 81 to 80 cents bushel
he could take his $1,000 legal tender
storage receipt for his $1,000 in gold
and buy 1900 bushels of wheat with
1t. Holding this wheat until it rose
to IS cents bushel, he could store
his 1000 bushels in the Treasury or
Subtreasury and draw $500 legal
tender on it, clearing $500 cash out Of
the Treasury in the transaction.
This is exactly what goes on under
the Harrison Sherman Bullion Stor-
age act, under which. instead OF put
ting up for margins on his bullion,
the speculator simply stores it in the
Treasury and gets its price in gold
represented by his legal tender stor-
age receipt, which he can either use
as a legal tender or cash for gold
while waiting for a fall Of q cent or
SO in bullion. When the fall comes
he can buy more bullion, and at the
next rise store it in the Treasury, get
his legal tender certificate and draw
his profits out of the gold collected by
tariff taxes.
The Subtreasury scheMers under
stand lunacy, but Mr.. John Sherman
understands finance and this Bull
ion Storage swindle is Wall Street
finance on a gold basis. All the Sub
treasury lunatics have to do to get
themselves on perfectly sound Wall
street financial basis is to put wheat"
in place of ''silver bullion wherever
bullion is mentioned in the Bullion
Storage act. Then with a few years
education in Wall street methods,
they can loot the Treasury and rob
the tax payers at their leisure, with
the great consolation Of knowing
that they are operating on the gold
basis and on the exact rule of the
finance of Messrs. John Sherman and
Benjamin Harrison.

New YORK, August %, II a. m.-The stock mar
ket opened generally strong this morning, with
first prices showing advances extending to e per
cent over last nights figures, but yesterdays
fever;shness remained, aud the early pressure
to sell resulted in the loss Of the opening gains
and something in addition in most cases, the
declines from the opening figures averaging u
per cent. In most o. the list, however. these
losses were ncutralized. and in some stocks
slight fractions were gained. special strength
was seen in Wheeling and Like Erie common
and cordagc, the former rising IN and the
latter "a per cent, while sugar reversed its
movement of yesterday and declined IL to
$40. Special activity was seen In 81. Paul,
Union Pncific and Atchison, with a fair BUSH
ness in all the leading shares. More strength
was shown by the general list toward the end Of
the hour, and at IL o'clock the market was
active and strong at insignificant changes from
the opening figures.
The stock market became less active and re-
manned quiet for some time after II o'clock,
while prices receded slightly in all parts Of the
list. Late in the hour. however, more activity
was shown. especially in C. G. c. and st. L.,
Atchison, Burlington and Cordage, and still
better prices were reached than during the
first hour. At noon the market was still fairly
active and firm to strong at small fractions
better than the opening figures. Bar silver, s.
