PLEDGED TO THE MEASURE.

Every San Francisco member of the
Assembly except Mr.. Dibble, nineteen
members in all, signed the following
pledge prior to their election:
PLEDGE
pledge my word of honor that l will, il
elected to represent the citizens of the --
District in the goth session of the California
State Legislature at all times advocate, urge
and work for the proposed reform ballot law.
as submitted by the Council of Federated
Trades and the Legislative Committee of the
California State Grange, Patrons of Hus-
bandry, until the same shall become the law
of the State of California, with such amend
ments as may be found necessary by the le.is-
lative committees of the State Grange and
Council.
lSigned by the nineteen.l
Some Of these gentlemen, it is charged,
are trying to excuse themselves and fol-
low the lead of Mr.. Dibble, on the ground
that the bill to which they pledged them
selves has been amended, and that the
Senate committee bill is not the measure
referred to in the pledge.
If any such attempted evasion is made.
it will not avail-though we incline to the
belief that the story Of shirking is error,
and that the gentlemen viii prove true to
their "words of honor''-for the pledge
expressly provides that it shall apply to
amendments found necessary The author
lied committees of the two bodies tc
whom the pledge was given have noti-
fled the signers of the pledge that the
Senate lcommittee bill is satisfactory, and
is their bill with the necessary amend
ments.
Under these circumstances there are
nineteen votes from San Francisco that
are certain to be counted for the bill in
the Assembly, since it is impossible to dc
the signers the injustice Of even suspi-
cion that by any technicality they will
attempt to evade pledge upon which
they secured their election. The Sena-
tors from San Francisco signed the same
pledge, and when the roll was called
they kept their word. 1t is inconceiva-
BILE that the Assemblymen will do less.

ITCHY of tickets, and to prevent the old
fraud of printing mixed tickets, and
cheating tickets with head and foot sound,
but with false element in the body.
The bill simply permits anyone fairly
indorsed the American right to run for
office, to contest for any place on an
equality with candidates favored by con-
ventions and parties. Under the present
system the poor man cannot do this.
Finally, the ballot bill permits the voter
to write in any name. He need not vote
for any one one on the official ballot. If
at late hour there is death or resignation
of party candidate, the name to be SUBJ
stituted can be written in.

\ MATTER OF FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS.

This Justice Of the Peace business, at
which Senator Dray's bill aims, is very
simple and quite important. We have
two City Justices and one Township JUS
tice. The former are salaried by the city
at $1,000 each and their Office expenses
paid-a total cost of about $1,000 per an
mum to the taxpayers of Sacramento. The
Township Justice receives fees only. He
therefore gets all the business, for many
and obvious reasons. The City Justices
draw their salaries and have little or
nothing to do, and, of course, have no fees
to turn into the treasury, to any mention
able amount. Indeed, Constable Brissel
says if he had to depend upon fees from
business before his City Justice, he would
starve to death.
Here, then, is an outgo of $1,000 year
from people already overtaXed and
groaning under heavy burdens. Senator
Dray's bill abolishes one of the offices of
| City Justice. If it passes that will save
the city about $500 year. But still the
| Township Justice will do nearly all the
will be unable to turn but few fees into
the City Treasury.
! II, now, the Township Justice is fix
| ture cannot be got rid of so as to save to
the city hersalary output by return OF fees,
then let Senator Dray's bill be amended
so as to abolish both offices of City JUS
tice, as City Justice Starr advises.
We do not believe that there is any
township in this city; that it was ever in
| tended to have township organization
within municipality. If it was, then
why have We not a complete set of town
ship officials? AS it is, we have only a
Justice of the Peace. But it is said that
the authority has decided that we
must have Township Justice. 1t re-
mains, therefore, that grievous wrong is
done the tax-ridden people of this city by
compelling them to salary City Justices
who are unable to return to the treasury
fees enough to even pay for the stove
wood for their offices.
VIII not Senator Dray and the Sacra-
mento delegation in the Assembly see to
it that the bill is amended at once so as to
abolish both City Justices offices at the
end of the term of the present incum-
bents? The legislators from other parts
of the State will raise no sort of objection
whatever; it is a matter in which, OF
course, they will be perfectly willing tc
grant the people relief from unnecessary
taxation.
We echo the sentiment of all the
people of the city when we say that the
5000 they pay to City Justices now is alb
solutely thrown away. 1t We're better
far, if the people must be punished by
this tax because of blunder in the gen.
eral law, to give it to the orphans, or eX-
pend it in other charity. 1t may appear
to be small matter to the Legislature,
but to a people paying such enormous
taxes as do Sacramentans, 1000 saved is
q very large item

Fancy Hosiery.

There has been a revolution
against black in Hosiery, and the
rank and file of fashion have
proclaimed themselves for colors
in textile footwear. The indiCa-
tons are that this spring will
witness such a demand for Fancy
Hosiery as has not been felt for
years. Our Eastern buyers felt
the pulse of fashion and bought
largely of imported as we'll as
domestic hosiery. Our leading

attention, and may be seen on

TIE SIZE OF THE BALLOT.

The fate of the reform ballot bill will be
decided to-day-at farthest tomorrow.
If it fails the dominant party in the Leg
islature must take the responsibility, and
it is by no means light one.
Ali manner of devices will be resorted
to in the assault upon the system to-day,
and one of the means to be employed is
the exhibition Of large sheet of paper
printed, as Will be claimed, according to
the demands of the Senate committee bill
for the official ballot.
But it will be observed that every effort
has been made to expand the ballot, that
unusually large spaces are used, and that
it is by rule-work, large type, large mar
gins and broad lines, stretched in all di-
reetions. The truth is, that the largest
possible number of names of candidates
under our system of choosing officers,
State, county and municipal, under the
reform bill can be placed upon sheet of
very modest size.
But let those to whom this silly plea of
large ballot may come with some force,
reflect one moment upon the subject.
What difference would it make were the
ballot-sheet as large as the imagination of
the enemies Of the system plot it? So long
as the ballot can be read by the voter in
his booth; so long as it clearly states the
name, politics and residence of the candi-
date one wishes to vote for, what objec-
ton is it If it is II broad and long sheet?
Is it so serious an inconvenience to
handle printed sheet? Do gentlemen
of the Legislature find any insuperable
difficulty in handling and reading their
daily newspapers, though they are some
that the voter shall use ballot of some
considerable size, or that venality, cor
ruption, brow-beating. intimidation and
| vote-deliyery shall go on in our elections.
But the ballot sheets will not be un-
wieldly, nor inconvenient, nor, indeed,
in anywise Objectionable. The Indiana

HE WAS ASHAMED
To Ask Again, but His Frank Letter
Got It for Kim.

A few months ago one of the unfortunate
inmates in the San Francisco Almshousa
was inspired by the sensational statements
in the newspapers with the belief that joys
Vegetable ssrsaparila would help him. But
without money, how to get it was the ques-
ton. Finally he wrote to the Edwin w. Joy
Co., appealing to their generosity, and twas
not unheeded, the coveted preparation be-
ing sent by the next parcel delivery. Its
effect is best told in o subsequent letter, from
which we quote the followilg:-
