By adoption of this plan these rooms can
all easily be thrown together on occasion
of home entertainments. Opening off the
sitting room Is a curtained bed alcove
which is connected with the bathroom.
The sitting room and dining room are
furnished with drawers under the seats in
the bay windows. The kitchen is so
located as to be convenient Of access to
other parts of the house, and at the same
time 80 arranged rs to prevent the noise
and smells of cooking from entering other
rooms, having two doors between it and
any other room connected with it.
The comfort and utility of house de-
pend so much upon the arrangement and
relative position Of the rooms that the
success Of a design in execution may al
most be said to depend upon the manner
in which the planning of the rooms Is ex-
ecuted. Unfortunately this fact is often
overlooked, and essential features of the
plan are sacrificed for features Of the eleva-
tion. In this design is a compact and con-

Wall Paper.

In selecting wall paper it should be-
chosen In accordance with good taste, and
the most important question to decide is
whether it Is to form decoration for itself,
or Is to become a mere background for
pictures In either case the colors should
be subdued in tone. Where water color
drawings are hung in drawing room,
paper of embossed white or cream color,
with very small spots of gold, will not be
amiss. and Furnisher.

Mr.. Schriver was examined at great
length by Mr.. Wilson. He said that
while In Canton he was with no one ex-
cepting Williams and Mr.. David b. Day,
who went to the bank TO identify him.
Shriver told of going TO Canton with
Andy Burkel for the purpose OF Identify
ing Williams. He said Burkel pointed
out Williams and asked him II that was
not the man and he said 1t was, Scbriver
said Marshal Gentry told him TO bave
Williams arrested and make him prove
where he was. Shriver got badly mixed
up on cross examination and did not tell
a very straight story. When asked IL he
did not say the morning after he lost his
money, that he could not identity the man,
at first he said he did not remember and
then stated positively that he never made
any such statement, as he could tell man
who beat him out of such large sum of
money. Mr.. Shrlyer's memory was very
poor and when asked leading questions
said he could not remember. Shriver
said he did not intend TO take any money,
and did not do anything wrong. Mr..
Wilson then asked him why he had pub.
lished the card ia the paper in which he
said he had done wrong. This greatly
confused the old man and he could not
explain the matter. This ended the cross
examination and Mr.. Shriver certainly
made very poor witness. An adjourn
ment was then taken until o'clock this
afternoon.
The record-union., 1892-03-10

Smith armed himself on election day
and was moving among tie crowds
of people with loaded weapon on his
hip. Officers knew-or ought to have
known, since every one else seems to
have heard Of it that Brannigan had
armed himself, and was making threats
openly to do violence. Yet no one in
authority appears to have concerned him
self about the facts. Around the Third
street polls there were number Of we'll
known low characters, who are known
to go armed on such occasions, and their
pistols were frequently felt as they
crowded among and against voters, but
no one appears to have had the courage
to exercise authority and disarm these
men.
The guilt or innocence of Smith, the
provocation Brannigan may have given,
whether the encounter might not have
been avoided by Smith, or whether he
was justified in his act-these are ques-
tions we are not passing upon, and do
not consider until the law shall have
begun its course of inquiry. But we do
reflect the general and indignant judg-
ment of the people that these toughs and
FOUNDERS should be permitted to crowd
among peaceable citizens armed with
knives, pistols and bludgeons, as it is
notorious they do, and no notice Of the
fact be taken by the peace officers of the
city. The law gives every officer the
right, where he has fair reason TO suspect
that one is illegally armed, to search and
disarm him, and in most other cities it is
done. The people look forward to a
change of police policy in Sacramento in
this matter, and that there will be some
sort of an effort made to prevent the law
less classes from terrorizing the city by
parading with firearms concealed.
The record-union., 1892-03-10
THE ELECTION RESULTS,


Under the reform ballot system insur-
ing absolute secresy of the ballot, the out
come of any contested election may be
surprise to political prophets. In the
election of Tuesday in this city there
were both unexpected defeats and vic
tories.
The defeat of Mr.. Mclaughlin was not
anticipated, but is traceable to the false
stories circulated that an obnoxious boss
ring was for him though posing for his
chief opponent; to detection from the
ranks of his party; to the personal efforts
of Democrats who had political bones to
pick with him, and to antagonisms be-
cause he had enforced the law of his de-
partment. Mr.. Mclaughlin will retire
with the credit of having been an ener-
getic and courageous official, under
whose administration the greatest ad-
vance ever made in street improvement
in Sacramento was achieved. Mr.. Green's
success is to be attributed to the light
vote of Mr.. Croly, and the rumors put
afloat against Mr.. Mclaughlin, and to
the strength he gained through the dis
affection of the Democrats referred to.
Mr.. Green will go into Office with the
knowledge that, so far as this journal is
concerned, it never assailed his character
or impugned his motives. 1t doubted his
competency and distrusted certain in
huences that promoted his candidacy. 1t
will gladly aid and commend him in
proving that he is equal to the task
he now assumes. Mr.. Rodgers sue
cess was the marked and most important
event OF the election. Without party or
organization behind him, independent
wholly, he contested fairly and openly
with, and defeated the three strongest
men the two political parties and one
association could put up against him.
Upon his candidacy hinged the greatest
cause for general congratulation by
the people. He goes into office a free
man, and will fulfill all hope expected of
him by so remaining and by faithful and
fearless discharge of duty.
Mr.. Morrison had undivided party
strength, the Endorsement of the Citizens
Association, very large personal follow
ing, and the support of the men of the
Fire Department, who, satisfied with his
administration, desired his retention in
Office. The election over, good citizens
acquiesce in the verdict gracefully, and
look to the new officials with the hope of
clean and economic administration so far
as they are concerned, and some decided
police reforms.
That out of 5, l50 votes cast there were
not over 600 straight party tickets cast,
indicates gratifying growth among the
people of the desire that political issues
should have no part in municipal admin
istration; rapid spread of the spirit of
independence in city elections. The new
ballot system comes to the aid of that
spirit, and makes its manifestation a
matter of ease.

nifty and responsibility. and worthy of
the best salary reward.

The silver men have taken the step in
the House that was anticipated in the ex-
preston of these columns some weeks
ago. They have under the banner of the
Democratic party resolved to take up, and
that means to pass, the Bland silver bill,
and so far as that passage can do it pre-
cipitate the country into an unhealthful
agitation, and to accomplish deprecia-
ton OF the currency that will bring upon
the people serious ills. 1t is quite useless,
perhaps, to discuss the question with sill
yer men. They are SO full of glowing
hope, fine promises and bright forecasts
of great prosperity under the cheap
blind to the dangers of their scheme.
There is really no party politics in the
silver question; it is one of pure reason
and financial sense, and ought to be de-
bated upon those levels alone. 1t is evi-
dent, however, that it is to be injected
into the coming campaign, and that the
Denocratlc party Is 10 carry the burden
of the affirmative. Whether the prospect
is good or bad for the bill becoming law,
the question it raises cannot now be kept
out of the approaching campaign, and it
is perhaps as we'll that it should not be.
The sooner it goes to the people and the
arbitrament of the ballot-box the better.
The greater, richer and more prosperous
the nation becomes, the more dangerous
and threatening will the question be, and
hence it is desirable. if the silverites
achieve victory, that the practical test of
their theory be had early; if they are de-
feated, however, as it would seem they
must be, the sooner it is done the better
for the financial peace of the nation.
