EDS. RECORD UNION: The legality of
the action of our Supervisors in raising
the county liquor license has been ques-
toned. While they reconsider, let us
remind them that the price named was
ridiculously small. Can they expect, by
the trifling tax of $50 per quarter, to re-
deem our county from the Indifference of
the past and atone for the outcome. the
crimes that, to our lasting shame and
disgrace, have been heralded far and
wide? Do they honestly mean to deter
for one moment any country saloon i?
Some have already suggested that they
take out no license, give up their LIQUORS
and make up the loss on cigars andre
venge. Gentlemen OF the county, take
courage!
This is an age and day worth living in.
Show yourselves worthy of it. 1t is a
day worth all the sacrifice you will be
called upon to make-even the failure to
be reelected. They are of little account
who would please everybody.
Guardians of our county, rise to the oc-
casion! Make glade the heart Of many a
sufferer from the sale of liquors on the
'home-stretch." Make the county Ii
cense not one cent less than $500 for the
year. Saloon men will not be pleased
with you at any price, SO give them
enough to growl about. By this act of
heroism you will gently invite these rest
ing ones, who sit under their wayside
awnings hoping each passer-by is very
thirsty, to seek another and an honorable
living. Then the hands now raised in
holy horror at Sacramento's dark crimes
will applaud you to the echo.
Then it is to be haped the city fathers
will assert their manhood and out-do you
in the city tax, if they would atone for
past neglect to honest people compelled
to make homes in what is fast becoming
notorious city. If they are men far
sighted, progressive, possessed of adroit
reasoning, with broad plans for Sacra-
mento's future, they will say to the State
at large: "We are sufficient for these
things. The remedy in other cities has
been an extremely high license. We
will make our city license higher than
the highest" Then, whether prohibi-
tion Is before the people or no, whether
prohibition prohibits or no, we shall find
a desirable state of affairs.
1t is absurd for business men to cry,
TRADE will decline if saloons are closed, y
Let them sound truer note, ''put your
dimes into better food, better clothing for
your families, more books and a home. -
Let the reputation of Sacramento be.
fewer saloons to the thousand than any
California city, and class of people will
seek it-bad sewerage and all-who will
be desirable citizens, worthy home in a
city thrice blessed.
Then it will be in order for that class of
citizens who measure the business pros
perlty of a city by the number of saloons
1t can support, TO retire to some city
cursed as we are at present, with one
saloon for every seventeen voters.

Experts Seadler and Garlic Find the
Water Works Building Unsafe.
S. Carle, the builder, and architect
James Seadler made a thorough examina-
ton of the old City Hall building yester-
day morning, and they saw enough to
convince them that the structure is in an
exceedingly dangerous condition.
The front and rear walls are several
inches out of plumb, and the iron stay
rods running through the building have
sunk into the brickwork, showing the
terrible strain upon them. Cracks are to
be seen in many places in the walls.
They also found the timbers beneath the
roof OF the building and the tank, which
they support, to be badly rotted.
The gentlemen will make a report of
their examination to the Board of City
Trustees next Monday.
Mike EeSsler was to have been tried by
q jury in the Police Court yesterday. on
charge of selling liquor to Indians, but
when the case was called his attorney
stated that he had consulted all the per-
sons subpenaed as jurors in the case, and
all but one said they did not desire to run
the risk of remaining in such an unsafe
building.
Judge Cravens excused the iurymen.
remarking that he did not want them to
stay where he was afraid to. The case was
continued until Tuesday next, by which
time atemporary courtroom will be pro-
vided at 903 Front street.
Police Judge CraYenS and City Attor-
ney Hart viii also have offices there, they
having made up their minds to take no
more chances on their lives in the old
building.

OPINIONS OF THE PEOPLE.

ED. REPUBLICAN =
There are several matters coming up
before our present Legislature of vast inn
portance to every citizen of his great
Commonwealth. We believe our Repre-
sentative, Hon. s.. S. fowler, will strictly
guard our interests in all these matters,
especially, when he is informed as to our
will and wishes. Your correspondent
would like to hear the opinion of at least
some of the leading minds in our county
relative to the proposed new Road Law.
Our views on this matter came out in the
REPUBLICAN some two years ago, and are
the same to-day. 1t still occurs to us,
perhaps through our shortsightedness,
that this new act would not improve our
present road system. 1t our representa-
tives at Harrisburg and Washington would
appropriate, for the building and repairing
of u public roads, the money appro-
priated on the useless streams throughout
the State and Nation, it certainly would
prove a blessing to each and every one,
and our public highways would soon be-
come as a real monument of praise TO
their good judgment.
Again, our present system of Text
Books is to be remodeled. Our schools,
or at least the patrons, are being imposed
upon by the publishers of our school
books. 1t is almost impossible for many
parents to provide books for their children
owing to the exorbitant prices charged for
them these publishers are fast becoming
m~illionaires through their modified rob-
berry, and should be knocked out by a
general enactment. What is to hinder the
State from taking the matter in hand; au-
thorizo the publishing of school books
under the direction of the State Superin-
tendent, and furnish the same at actual
cost, and thus have a unifol m series
throughout the State? Under the present
system of school books it is simply impos-
sible to establish a uniform text series m
IL county hence, right this fact hinges
the greatest drawback to our present sys-
tenn of education. Directors may, and i in
fact have, done their best to procure a uni
form series in a township, and as often as
they have tried they have failed. If there
was a law to prohibit people from moving
from n township 70 another they might
succeed. So it would be in reaching out
over the county; the same obstacles pre-
sent themselves; therefore we can never
hope TO reach the desire of our ambition
until the State takes the matter in hand.
What say you all? j.. A.

DEMOCRATIC obstruction in the
House yesterday to q bill which propos-
to relieve the congested condition
Of Supreme Court and advance the
meager salaries of the Federal Judges
is q fitting close to the Democratic
policy in the present Congress, which
proposed to block all business unless
the minority had its way. The business
of the Supreme Court is now three
years in arrears and each Winter it
drifts further to the rear. A party
which was willing to see no business
done by the National Legislature is
naturally opposed to facilitating the
judicial business of the Government or
aiding the courts to dispense speedy as
we'll as impartial justice. The solitary
objection which the Democratic mi
nority has to the bill which it tried to
obstruct is the slight addition to the
judicial appointments of a Republican
Administration, and this objection is
he basis of an attempt to continue the
1grdeiay IL the Supreme Court to
judicial business of the entiIe
Nntry.
