THE POPULAR METHOD.

At the recent Democratic state con-
vention in Rhode Island it was unani-
mously resolved that hereafter the
Illinois example shall be followed, and
the Democratic choice for senator pre-
scented like the other candidates at the
state convention. No senator is to be
elected there for couple of years, when
the Democrats will probably be able to
break the record in that state. In his con-
gratulatory letter to Senator PALMER,
MIR. CLEVELAND inGorses this method
1t is gaining strength constantly, and
has almost no open opposition. The ap-
parent change in California, cutting off
the perquiSiteS of members, will tend
to discourage those who would hold on
TO the legislative control of the position
on account Of the dividends afforded to
the members. The new policy will be
found in some of the party platforms
next year, and will be popular,

CALIFORNIA VIRTUE.

CHARLES n. FELTON,, the new sem
ator from California, seems to have
been elected somewhat as surprise to
the country. No one has expected that
any new standards in political ethics
could come from that quarter, but it was
boldly asserted as an inspiration to the
new departure that the coming states
man to be placed in the senate was of
the sturdy type that, ''if left in friends
drawing room, would be able to resist
the temptation to steal the paper from
the wall" This daring voucher does
not make provision for the pictures or
movable ornaments, but it is inferred
that such temptations cannot be pru-
IDENTIFY incurred by the Republican
statesman of the Golden state. Yet
there is no doubt that the people. if they
had the election of the senators, would
find material that could be trusted even
in Washington.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 20-The
committee investigating the attempted
bribery in connection with the SEN
atorlal contest. this morning examined
Cashier Mckenzie, of the Fresno Loan
and Savings bank, who identified the
torn checks found among the papers in
the waste basket of the state librarians
room as those of his bank. He said the
figures and marks upon them were in
the handwriting Of one OF his clerks.
He could not tell whether so large a
sum as $1,000 had been paid out on Mon
day or not; but the books would show.
He did not remember that any currency
had been paid out of the bank since the
last remittance of their correspondents
IN San Francisco, the Croker Wool
worth bank. j. ID. BauIing, paying
teller of the Fresno bank, identified the
torn checks and handwriting of the
clerk. The cashier produced the cash
book of the bank and turned
to Saturdays entry. which showed that
he had RENTED to the Crocker Wool
worth bank $500 in currency. He
added that the money was sent by eX-
press 10 San Francisco, and the checks
exhibited were the same ones wrapped
about the money sent. He never knew
OF manila wrappers, such as were
found among the scraps, being used at
the bank. The currency was usually
wrapped up in blank checks. which
were about the right length. Mckenzie

sioners of San Francisco, either with
regard 10 the passage of the bill intro
duced by Bruner to increase the police
force of certain cities or as to other
matters. and that Bruner did not have
six appointments on the San Francisco
force at his disposal. The report further
decided that Bruner had not given a
recommendation for All appointment to
the force and received therefor 800 as
part OF plan to entrap and expose any
guilty conspiratorS against himself. but
that he did so with the intention of sell
ing position on the police force and

plices the proceeds of such sale. No
recommendation as to the further dispo-
sitIon OF the matter is made by the COM
