To-DAY,s ELECTION.

The city election to-day should engage
the active interest of all the people. Let
our citizens manifest the concern they
take in municipal affairs by attending at
the polls and casting heavy vote. Light
votes are always discouraging, heavy ag-
gregates always testify to the living in
terest of the people in community affairs
and encourage the people to promote city
interests.
Republicans should especially be earn
est in the labor of electing their ticket.
which is the result of the deliberation of a
representative convention. The ticket the
Republicans present should command
the support, not only of that party, but of
all citizens who wish good to the city.
The candidates are tried men who have
not proved wanting in any public trust.
The head of the ticket, Mr.. Conklin,
has thus far met with but one objection
since it is conceded that he is an upright.
fair-minded, sterling and experienced
business man, whose interests are all
abreast with the best good of this COM
munity. The objection has been raised
against him that when he was in the
Board of Education his economic DISPOSE
ton ran to penuriousness. 1t is said,

A Genuine Japanese Dinner.

Some time ago a Japanese gentleman,
who is living in Paris, invited some
friends to genuine japanese dinner, of
which the menu was as follows: Banana
soup, slices of octopus or devil fishfeel-
ers. roasted porcupine, oranges preserved
in ginger syrup, boiled pomegranates,
candied lizards tails, etc The daintIest
morsel of the feast, which is to the Jap
anese what oysters are to us, was mag
n'ficent fish of the turbot species. 1t was
served on large dish of priceless Kioto
porcelain, garnished with a wreath of va
riegated bamboo leaves 1t was still alive,
for its gills and mouth moved regularly.
To the horror of the guests present the
host raised the skin from the upper part
of the fish, which had been previously
loosened, and picked off slice after slice of
the creature, which, although alive had
been carved in such IL fashion that no vital
part had been touched The heart, gills,
liver and stomach had been left intact,
and some seaWeed, on which the fish
rested, sufficed to keep the lungs III &C
ton. The miserable thing seemed to look
with & lustrous but most reproachful eye
upon the guests while they consumed its
body, the transparent flesh of which they
were forced to admit to be delicious. 1t
should be added that this particular fish,
the Dali" is only good when eaten alive.
The moment 1t is dead it becomes opaque.

SUCCESS FOR BALLOT REFORM
ASSURED.


ASSURED.
The opponents of the ballot reform bill
have withdrawn their opposition to the
passage Of the Senate bill, but without
their leader abandoning his steadElst and
consistent position against the measure.
But they yesterday consented that the
bill shall go back to the Senate ut once
with three slight amendments, to which
the friends Of the bill in turn consented.
with but three dissenting voices. 1t is
with regret that we record the fact, that
one of the three votes viii stand upon the
journals to the debit of Sacramento, one
of her Assemblymen, Mr.. Bruner, voting
with the opposition to progress.
1t is now to be taken as a certainty that
the measure will become law within
the next few days, for we do not consider
the slight bitches concerning the amend
ments as at all serious. The amendments
adopted are, that petition-nominations
shall be made upon the basis of five per
cent. of the voters; that Presidential
Eiector nominees shall be so grouped
that a voter can vote for party groups
with one marking or stamping, and that
the clause allowing petition nominations
on the application OF one thousand voters,
where the Office to be filled is State
office, be stricken out, leaving the five
per cent to apply to such nominations.
The Senate has sent the bill to a confer
ence committee, on the statement of a
Senator that he had heard that the Attor-
ney-General deemed one of the amend
ments fatal to the San Francisco registra-
ton system. This must be error; how
the change from three to five per cent,
and the placing of names of Presidential
electoral nominees in group can affect
the registration of voters III San Fran
cisco, will puzzle the best intelligence to
explain. The idea is an absurdity.
The grouping matter is one that the
REcoRD-UNIoN has contended for all
along. We have repeatedly advanced
reasons showing why such arrangement
Of the ticket should be made, and indeed
have thought that it should prevail as to
all party nominations. The other amend
ments raise the grade of petition nomina-
tons. So that there is no reason why the
Senate should not concur, and send the
bill to the Governor with all decent speed.
The erection of the bill into law we con-
slider now so well assured that we treat it
as practically accomplished, and con-
gratulate the people Of California upon
having reached the final and merely for
mai proceedings in the enactment into
law of one Of the most beneficient meas
ures that has been born of any legislative
session.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres of
land in the heart of Tehama County. for the
purpose OF pl omoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SIC to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
20, so, l2o, 16o and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
Subdivisions as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal By paying the first of five equal an
nual installrncllts. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual instaliments, with in
terest at the rate OF per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices TO CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and espe-
cia!ly adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
SlpO StI acre. All eNdilifallOn OF the land
subject of this advertisement viii prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $40
an acre. and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre. on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy
OF accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting It's set
t,ement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

inventive genius of Americans, as much
as any other thing, if not more, has
contributed to our national greatness
and our rapid advancement. 1t has had
not only potent influence in accelerat-
ing the prosperous growth of the nation,
but it has played large part in the pro-
gress of civilization.

A MATTER oF HOSPITALS.

The Board of Supervisors has resolved
to make a necessary addition to the
County Hospital and Almshouse. That
the addition is needed is not gainsaid;
especially in the winter season, when the
hospital fills up, is there demand for more
room. 1t is not, therefore, intended to
antagonize that proposition when we say
that there is a more immediate need that
should be first responded to- since the
Supervisors declare that they cannot
afford to erect both structures in the
same year. This other demand is the
erection of new building for use as a
Dispensary, Receiving Hospital and a
place for the detention of female prison.
ers, the insane and detained witnesses.
AT present the Receiving Hospital is on
Front street, at the extreme western
verge of the city and the county. The
Dispensary is seven blocks east. The
one physician in charge of the two insti-
at both places at the same time. His
inability to perform an impossibility re-
suits in much human suffering and great
inconvenience. In the County Jail de-
tanned witnesses are compelled to herd
with thieves and vagrants, the insane are
confined in cells in the same apartment
with other prisoners, and women held in
the Jail are mingled with all the inmates
and have no choice in the matter.
This is a bad state of affairs, and no one
attempts to apologize for it. The Dis
pensary, Receiving Hospital, witness
rooms, cells for the insane and woman's
department should be in distinct parts of
an independent building, which the
county can erect at cost of about S., 900
or not to exceed $4,000. This structure
can be placed on the west of the Jail yard.
The lower story can be used for the Hos
pital, the Dispensary and the cells for the
insane. The upper story for the woman's
department and the attendants rooms.
AS between the two great needs, we
submit that the County Hospital extern
sion can be postponed until next winter
for construction. Such action will enable
the other work to be done now as it
should be. 1t is demanded by every hu-
name consideration, it is an absolute and
pressing necessity, and it is so urgent a
one that the Supervisors ought to recon-
slider their action and order the erection
of the building referred to prior to con-
structing the addition that must be made
to the County Hospital. There has been
said something about putting the matter
over until the county erects new Court
house, but we submit that that is alto
gether predetermined, and that there may
be no such building ordered for many
years. Indeed it is unlikely that it viii
be deemed an absolute necessity for six
or seven years, or even decade. How
ever that may be, the Receiving Hospital.
Dispensary and woman's apartment
building should be erected this year, and
the sooner the better We trust that the
Supervisors will give this matter serious
consideration, and change their present
plans as indicated.

UNLESS we misinterpret the drift OF
press and other expression, the demand
upon the next Congress to submit an
amendment to the Federal Constitution
providing for the election of United States

so emphatic that it will be irresistible.
There can be no mistaking the sentiment
