THE FIRST DAUGHTER.

A Somewhat Novel Contention Be-
tween Ladies.
A controversy has arisen as to who is
the Oldest native (white) daughter of the
Golden State. Usually ladies are rather
shy about exposing their age, but in this
case whatever honor or distinction NAV
attach to the matter seems to lie in estab-
fishing claim to priority of birth. The
Contra Costa Democrat says:
I'm the last issue of the Democrat we
published an extract from the Sacra-
mento RECORD-UN to the effect that
Mrs. Mary Semple Truman, who was
born at Benicia on the I'D OF November
1913, was the first native Californian
daughter born Of American parents. ].

His Steers Being Run Off by the Ma
tionaI Rustlers.
John J. McCloskey, who managed the
Sacramento team last year, is not enjoy
ing life in the Texan League, remarks
the San Francisco Post, which organiza-
ton he brought into existence. Nc
Closkey believed that he could save
money by remaining out of the National
Agreement, but he doubtless ere this has
been convinced that his policy was a poor
one. Managers in other leagues are
closely watching the work of the Texans,
and when good player shows himself
steps are taken to tempt him away from
his employers.
Minor leagues that are outside of the
National Agreements are considered legiti-
mate prey, and managers do not feel any
prickings of conscience when stealing
players from teams not in the pale of
protection. The Louisville club last week
took away from the Galveston team
Right-fielder Mcfarland. who has earned
a reputation as a brilliant batter and

How a Good-Hearted Waiter Was
Wron2ed by His Friend.
The heart OF George Acosta, a waiter in
a hotel, is in gloom. He lent his room
mate, Charles Blaine-who was an en-
ploye OF the same house-his watch and
chain to wear while he was getting mar
ried in Woodland. The latter had often
borrowed his friends finery, so Acosta
did not doubt his honesty.
But Acosta has discovered that the
young woman To whom Blaine had been
devoting his spare hours and fortune was
still here and had not been married at
least she was not aware OF it.
Further inquiry convinced Acosta that
his roommate had swindied him out OF
the watch and chain, and that he had alb
seconded. He doesn't want any more
magnetic friends of the name OF Blaine.

Yesterday the committee appointed to
solicit funds for the maintenance of open

Iected S235 in a little over an nour and re-
ceived assurances of considerable coin
from the railroad employees on payday.
The Turn Nerein has also voted a sum
of money for the purpose, and those who
are interesting themselves in the matter
are quite elated over their success.
W hat now appears to be a singular
feature Of the situation is the fact that
when the original committee set out to
canvass Tor money for the concerts-with
the understanding that one would be
given each sunday evening, the best they
could do in q weeks hard labor was to
raise about $500, many of those who are
now so eager to subscribe then refusing

one OF the Finest Highways In the
Whole State.
The Riverside road is now in splendid
condition, and is one of the finest high
ways on the coast. At this season of the
year drive along it is enchanting. Every
evening it is lined with carriages, bug
gies, carts and all sorts of vehicles, many
of the drivers being ladies.
On Tuesday and Friday evenings the
members of the Sacramento Driving Club
turn out in full force, and then there is
fun. More fast roadsters can then be
seen collected on the road than in any
one place in California. A good-natured
rivalry exists between their owners, and
there are lively brushes TO decide the
superiority of the different animals. The
scene on the road on club nights is de-
cidedly animated one.

valuable work OF arl. A large view 10

WEDNESDAY,, FEB. II. 1892.

The New York Life Insurance Co.,
according to the Insurance Commission
er's report, has been doing some very
queer business. But, although 1t is APP
parent that hundreds Of thousands OF dol.
lars have been wasted, the offlcers-par-
ticularly President Beers-congratnlai
themselves that the company has yet a
large reserve. How long that reserve
will last II the management continues in
the same line, It is easy to figure out.
The criticism, however, has become so Sc
we're, that the President has resigned, and
The Directors have put him on pension
of thirty-seven thousand five hundred dol
lars per year, his salary having hereto
fore been seventy-five thousand dollars
per year Such salary is fraud on the
insured in their company, and any PEN
sion to a retiring President is robbery Of

dends reduced. The New York Life ap-
pears TO be good Company not to In

Previous TO the war OF the rebellion,
whenever anything was proposed IN Con-
gress that injuriously affected the iustitu-
ton Of slavery, the Democratic leaders
and newspapers were always seriously
alarmed lest the ''constitntIonn should be
violated thereby. g Unconstitutional !"
was standard word with the party 10
those days, used as scare crow to pre-
vent infraclions OF the sacred rights OF
slavery.
The sacredness OF the ''constitrtlon" Is
OF much less importance 10 them 10 these
days especially Stale constitutions. The
latest evidence Of this, is that Of the APP
pointment OF Senator Werts, Of Morris, to
the Supreme Bench. That nomination
was clearly Unconstitutional. The consti-
tutien OF this State forbids the appoint
ment of any member Of the legislature to
any civil Office, the emoluments whereof
shall have been increased during such
time. But the Governor, who is supposed
10 know SO much, did not know this sim
pie and plain provision OF the State con-
stliution and sent in The nomination OF
Mr.. Werts. The constitutional inhibition
was discovered (not by the lawyers 10 the
senaie) but by a newspaper reporter, and
at once the Governor, instead Of with
drawing the name, copcocted u plan TO
circumvent the plain intent OF the consli-
tuition, by having introduced repeater OF
the bin for which Senator Werts had vo-
tcd--the increase OF salaries Of the judges
OF the Supreme Court. or course, II was
passed around soto voce, that as soon as
Senator Werts was on the Bench, the old
law would be re-enacted.
Now comes the finale to these blundefs.
Another section OF the constitution de-
clares that the compensation for the SER
vices Of Justices Of the Supreme Court
shall not be diminished during the term
OF their appointments. So that the repeal
of the act above spoken Of is unconstltu-
tional.
But it is announced by leading Demo-
cratic papers that Justice Werts will take
bis seat. and that II the question 10 brought
before the Supreme Court, ihereis no dan
ger that Il will unseat one OF It's members.
In other words, the Supreme Court will
defy the constitution OF New Jersey as
readily as It's Governor and Legislature
have done. To such state as this has
Hudson county Democracy brought US
II the purpose Of this double violation
Of the constitution were to place a man Of
preeminent ability upon the Bench, the
action would be wholly unjustiaable, bat
when the purposc--known Of all men--is
to get out Of the way formidable candi-
date for Governor who Is not 10 the liking
OF the Hudson county brand Of Democra-
cy, than the action becomes Infamous.
However, nothing must stand 10 the way
Of Gar Abhett's election to the United
States Senate.
