desire to mark our warm appreciation Of
the able, dignitied aud successful man
ner in which you have fulfilled the
duties Of your high Office during the last
three years. At the very commencement
Of your diplomatic functions YOU were
confronted with innumerable intricate
questions arising out CT the opening
Of the French exposition OF 1850, which,
as well as the constant calls upon your
time and patience. were successfully met
by the Judgment, foresight and courtesy
which have invariably distinguished
your official career We have not for
gotten, moreover that you secured from
France the first official acceptance by any
nstion of our governments invitation TO
the Worlds Columbian Exposition. The
intimate personal relations which you
cultivated and have maintained with dif
ferent members OF the government, and
the esteem and respect in which you are
held in France. have largely con
tributed to the substantial COM
pletion, as announced by the French
press and officials. OF new extra

number OF extraaitable crimes. and of q
commercial convention providing for
reciprocity for certain articles in return
for the free admission OF hides, sugar
and coffee. our fruitful lsbors for
copyright and for the repeal of the
duty on works CT art have likewise
earned you the applause of your couu-
trymen; and, as the browning act of
your career, the long negotiations for

through the vigor, tact and wisdom Of
your exertions. The thoughtful court
estes you have extended not only to
those resident in the capital, but to
Americans passing through Paris, as
well 20 to members of the government.
and the people OF France, in which You
have been so effectively aided by your
accomplished wife. have strengthened
snd confirmed the reputation Of our
country for kindly hospitality. In fact,
it can truthfully be said that no American
minister has more faithfully and admir-
ably administered his trust than yourself.
In view, therefore, Of the universal az
probation Of your character and servi-
ces we have ventured to tender YOU
this farewell banquet, and beg to ex,
press the hope that in returning to your
native land. with the added experience
of well spent years abroad, you will

FASHION authorities announce the re-
turn and reign of the hoped skirt. Since
that absurd relic OF the Elizabethan era
went out of style the new system of
street cars has come in, with the cross
seats and central AISLE What now are
the street railway companies to do? As
it is two persons of ordinary breadth of
beam can scarcely squeeze into a seat
built to accommodate two. With the new
fashion they will scarcely hold one
woman. AS fully half of the street rail
way passengers are women, the income
Of the carriers is threatened with a cut of
one-half, gross. 1t would seem that but
two courses are open to the companies, to
change to the side seat system-and with
even that they will not be able to carry as
many as prior to the hoop revival-or to
forbid women occupying double space.
Even then there win be trouble, since
men viii, out of gallantry mingled with
disgust, refuse TO crowd a woman and
her hoops in order to secure a seat-they
will prefer to walk. Possibly carriers may
conclude to construct terraced seats on
top of the cars after the French omnibus
style; the women will scarcely climb to
such nights in the costumery of the
coming fashion.

piping Of these sisters who annually rally
and rail at men is not the voice of the
women of America. Far from it; our
women know that they rule better, more
firmly, and universally as the queens of
home than they could if uncrowned by
political emancipation" as these stiff
backed, self-appointed representatives
assume to call it.
The men ''monopolize all power" say
these railing maidens and matrons-
wherein? The power to shield women
and the home; TO stand between them and
contamination; to leave to them the best
and noblest Office of lfe-the rearing of
the generations; such power men have and
use, but whenever or wherever the right of
woman is assaulted, there the power is
given her to defend. Not with the ballot,
perhaps, but that it is essential to her
pursuit of happiness and the enjoyment
OF life and liberty the march of the age
denies, the uplifting of woman to the
level Of man disproves, and the queenIy
place she occupies in civilization gives
the lie.

FLAPDOODLE.

To arouse that divine discomfort which shall
make women ashamed to remain longer IN
the attitude of wards in their own country;
T. stir the dormant sense OF justice which shall
make men unwilling to monopolize all power
"a if women were not TO be trusted.
So opens the call for the coming con
vention of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association. And it is, so to
say, "rot," utter balderdash and flap
doodle. No more twaddle and falsehood
and sickly sentiment could be crammed
into an unfinished sentence, short of one
denying that for every effect there is a
cause, and sneering at all conditions sim
ply because they are conditions.
''To arouse divine discomfort" indeed
Who gave to the writers of the call for
the convention license to thus abuse the
name of Deity? Discomfort the short
haired women certainly are laboring to
enkindle among the sex-that is admitted.
And there is the seat Of the error of the
entire movement Discomfort slaves
should feel, and human beings deprived
Of liberty and ground under the tyran-
nous heel. But the American women are
neither slaves, nor have they cause for
discomfort, beyond those reasons for COM
planning that attach to human nature all
around.
The American women are not discon-
tented in a political sense, and that is
what troubles these suffrage agitators.

ballot, the world viii hear of it. But the

PUT ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES.

We hear the same old story to-day as
Of former years-landed proprietors
along the river front for several miles
south Of the city did not sufficiently raise
and protect their levees last season and
the city authorities have now had to send
men and tools to help them fight the ris-
ing waters of December. Yet these lands
are worth from $500 to 500 an acre, and
are the most productive of any soil in
California. If the city is annually to go
into the treasury to protect outside prop
erty, why not give the city jurisdiction
over the whole line Of the levee in the
south reclamation district?
Sacramento has proved what even a lit
tie money well expended will do in levee
protection, but her neighbors on the
south are contented with the absurd
policy of patchwork. Lands worth 500 an
acre along a reclamation line can afford
an outlay for levees as broad and strong
and high as those of this city. Ten dol
lars an acre would do work that would
make them so absolutely secure as to en-
nance their value double that sum. There
is no man in Sacramento to-day who re-
grets the 100000 ordered by vote in Sep
TENDER. The only regret is that the
urgency of the RECORD UNION was not
needed, so that the work might have been
completed by riprapping and graveling
as early as August last.
National bodies move slowly, but the
Sacramento municipal body can discount
them and have room to spare.
The next thing to do, and it can be be-
gun now while labor is plentiful, is to ex-
pend the remaining $50, 900 in the Ievee
improvement fund in widening and rails
ing the east levee from the railroad
bridge to Brighton. so that it may be used
as a driveway, or for a series of railroad
tracks. At least there is no reason why
the matter should not be now considered
and figured upon, even if no work is done
until next season. Sacramento is safe
and secure to-day, because of the wisdom
OF action this season. Let us now make
a still further advance and add to the at
tractiveness and comfort Of the city by
putting on the finishing touches, in the
way of riprapping and widening and
making a year-round driveway. That
done, we will have reason to boast.
Above all, let US never again be guilty OF
the almost criminal delay of last sum-
mer. Knowing their duty the authori-
ties dilly-dallied all summer long in
ordering work that should have begun
in June, a fact not a human being in Sac
ramento now controverts.

TIE County Treasurers now settle with
the state Treasurer four times each year.
State Controller Colgan thinks this is an
unnecessary rule, costly, and not justi-
fed by financial need or caution; in fact,
the system costs the State S3,221 20 more
than it should. His idea is, and we COM
mend it as worthy in all respects, to have
the law so amended that but two annual
settlements will be called for. Under the
present law the apportionment of school
moneys is made only in January and
July. The necessity for moneys belong
ing to that fund coming into the State
Treasury oftener than twice a year
does not, therefore, exist. If the law re-
quired but two settlements a year, the
other funds, the Controller assures us,
would not suffer. If at any time short
age should occur, the Controller can at
once under the present law demand
settlement from any county and thus
relieve the stringency.S The only possi-
bic objection that can be raised to the
proposition of Mr.. CoIgan that has any
appreciable force, is that the suggested
system will leave a larger sum for a
longer time in the hands of County Treas
urers, but this we do not think is an OBJ
lection that counterbalances the benefits
of the proposed change.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40

land in the heart OF Tehama County, FOR the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle

40, so, 100, 100 and 800 acres
The terms upon which these land Is are offered
are especially attractive. They viii 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 installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years ia which to
pay five equal annual ipstallments, with in
terest at the rate Of 7 per cent. per annuna,
making payments extending over a 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 ac-s,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.

THE State Controller joins with the
State Treasurer and other officials in urg-
ing the repeal of the law granting com
missions for the assessment and collection
of State taxes, To retain the system in
our economic policy is nothing short of
stupidity. Every Auditor, Treasurer
and Tax Collector is now a salaried Off
GER; all the commissions received except
the percentage allowed Assessors for COL
lection of personal property taxes, are
turned back into the treasury. So we
are carrying on a system of bookkeeping
that is almost childish in its absurdity.
