PALMER 1yD THE PRESIDENCY.

PALMER -1ND THE PRESIDENCY
1t was only natural hat tho success of
General Palmer in getting into the
United States senate, under cirC UNI
stances exec optional and unique, sh oud
have made b imsclf talked about as
possible presidential candidate. Be-
sides, a very considerable element Of
the democratic party is exceedingly
anX ious tounlOad the New York candi-
dates whose conflicting aspirations
promise to make "A good deal of trouble
in the party. For more than year past
the question OF finding an available man
outside Of the Empire state has per-
picked the minds Of a large number of
democrats, who have urged that the
standard bearer of the democracy
in the next national campaign
ought to be Il western man. But in the
list Of leading western democrats There
Is none available SO far as general
popularity is con cencd, with the eXCCp-
ton of he new Illinois senator, and he
has the disad want age Of his advanced
age. General Palmer will be 70
of the United States is inauguratcd, and
we have had no president so old as that.
This fact may not be n conclusive reason
against his candidacy. Gladstone is five
years older than this. and his followers
hope that he will yet be again at the
head of the British govern ment. Other
European statesmen have been acti We in
affairs of government at n greater age.
But the American people are adverse
to electing very old men to the
preside ncy, and such a candidate could
not command the support OF the younger
class Of voters. Still, General Palmer
has received very respectable, if not
greatly Influential, endorsement for
cit her the cad or tail of the democra
presidential tcll ct in 1902, and it is said
that many democrats are writing to him
that he is their first choice for presi-

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

s. 3. ~, introduced by Senator Dray
and reported back favorably by the Com
mittee on Public, Swamp and Overlooked
Lands, is important to Sacramento and
vicinity. The bill amends the Political
Code by striking out the provision which
prevents the formation of swamp land
levee and reclamation districts within
Two miles OF Incorporated cities. 1t is
this provision in the present law, relative
TO such districts, which stopped the river
and swamp-land owners south of and
contiguous TO the city limits i'll their plans
to form district and strengthen the
levee running south from Y street to
Freeport.
Senator Mahoney is not at all likely to
be disturbed in his seat, the Committee
on Elections having yesterday reported
character of the testimony offered by the
CONTESTANT, p. J. Murphy, no other result
had been looked for.
The bill providing for the election of
State Superintendent of Printing by the
people passed its second reading in the
Senate yesterday.
The fate of the anti-gaming bill in the
Senate is just now an unknown quantity.
The bill in its original form included
hokey-pokey and the wheel-of-fortune
among those coming under the ban of
the law. But it was amended yesterday
by striking out the latter, and was Or
dered reprinted. Whether sufficient in
terest will now be manifested in the hill
to insure its passage, remains TO be seen.

of profit, I may site the instance of the
State of Kansas. which, at the Centennial,
had the IN ost magnificent exhibit of any
Western State, and which has since, be :
cause ofthts attention attracted by it, made
the greatest stride in population and
wealth. 1t is proper that the State should
make the appropriation rather than the
counties, because than the burden bore
on all alike, and the management would
be under oiae head. The gentleman from
Humboldt has, said that we who vote for
S3oo,esO arei likely to be relegated to
private life TWO years from now. have
not the towering ambition of some gentle
men, and If the people of my county de-
sire TO relegtte me to private life because
| am patriotic enough to desire that the
State shall be fifty represented before the
world at Chicago, hope they will do SO
quickly. because l would be ashamed to
represent such constituency. Jap
plause.1
Mr.. Sturteva anti shall vote for an ap-
preparation OF $500, 900, because l believe
that Is no more than sufficient to enable
the State to make such display as we
desire should be made, but / shall vote
to eurtail other appropriations asked for,
such as those for agricultural districts,
that we may not exceed the limit to
which we are pledged by the party plat
form.
Mr.. Bruner-I did not know that any
member would advocate in good faith
reduction of the appropriation asked to
Sl0o,0o0. That amount would be of no
benefit, whatever, III the way of showing
the resources OF Ehe State If the bill had
been put before the committee for $780,
600, the members, with one exception, |
think would have supported it. As it is,
the committee cAme to the conclusion
that any SIM less than 100000 would be
inadequate. The gentleman from Placer
{Martin) has said that he would be in
favor OF the appropriation if mining in
terests were to be benefited. / will say
to him that it is intended to take bodily
to Chicago the entire exhibit of our
Mining Bureau, the most remarkable
collection of the kind in the United States.
which would draw attention, if not drawn
before, to our wonderful mining re-
sources. But l know the gentleman
comes from a county whose hillsides are
teeming with the fruit of the vine, the fig
and the orange. There is building up fer
it a name in that respect second to no
other county. We want the people of the
Union to see there is solnsthing besides
mining in Placer County.
The discussion was. continued at great
length. The amendment of Mr.. Biedsoe
was voted down. Mr. Reiifro moved to
amend by making the. APPROXIMATION

The committee then rose, reported the
bin back and recommended its passage
