WE'LL DONE, FREEHoLDERs.

The Board of Freeholders has com
pleted its labors, and tonight the
members will attach their sigma
lures to the new charter proposed,
and certify it to the Board of
Trustees. The fifteen citizens who have
devoted their time so largely for three
months past to this work, deserve the
thanks of the entire community. Their
action is in every way praiseworthy.
Whether the proposed new charter is
adopted or rejected, the people should
express to these men their gratitude.
They have, without pay, without hope
of reward, and animated only by sincere
devotion to the city of their homes, Ia
bored diligently, earnestly and with high
public spirit to forward the best interests
of the city. 1t was heavy task that was
put upon them; that they have accom-
plished it without friction, with courteous
bearing toward each other with manly
independence and with a progressive
spirit at all times predominant, stands
to their lasting credit and entities them
to public thanks.
As to their work in detail we are not
prepared to pronounce When it is in a
form to be read as whole, we shall dis
cuss the proposed new charter. AS we
have followed the newspaper reports of
the proceedings of the Freeholders, how
ever, we are strongly inclined 70 believe
that they have framed an excellent
charter, one that viii fit the city well,
one infinitely superior to the old one, a
document that will give us q form of
government more nearly abreast with
the advance of the age. We expect our
detailed examination to confirm this
general view, based upon the current re-
ports published of the action of the board.
The gentlemen who served as Free
holders are: r. Z. Devlin, Chris. Green.
II. Weinstock, S. B. Smith, II. NJ. La
Rue, Matt f. johnson. j. w. Armstrong.
Clinton White. w. F. Knox, Jr., DR.. G.

DANGER AHEAD.

There are about 1000 REPRESENTATIONS
upon the supplement. On the old printed
registers these names still appear. If
they are sent to the boards Of election
with these names unmarked there can be
and viii be double voting, and FOUNDERS
will vote III the names of others.
This is a dangerous situation. II can
be corrected in but one way. The old
registers should be gone through with the
original in the clerks Office, and all the
cancellations stamped on the printed
copies, "Cancelled-See Supplement-" 1t
would take two men two days to do the
work, and there is just time in which TO
complete it.
In the interest of common justice and a
fair election it ought to be done, and the
clerical assistance at once employed, even
If it takes haif-dozen experts. All the
cancellations are of record and can easily
be checked off and the marking stamped
on the printed registers from the first
copy in few hours. When rounder

John Brown on the original register and
the ballot clerks find opposite that name

Of all these Implications, and judging the
present by the past, viii use them in
every instance where they think they
can do so with safety. There is but one
way in which to defeat them and that is
to mark the re-registrations on the
printed copies.
The city authorities ought to be up and
doing about this matter at once and put
on the necessary clerical force to COM
plete the work by Monday noon.

vIRULENT ASSAULTS.


The virulence with which anonymous
writers are filling advertising columns of
contemporaries in assaulting William
Mclaughlin is something surprising. 1t
justifies suspicion that behind all these
attacks is the hand of some one who was
not allowed to plumber the city and the
property
To all these attacks Mr.. Mclaughlin
refuses to reply. He declares, when APP
preached upon the subject, that he has
done his duty, thai he has nothing to I'M
say, nothing to regret, and that his record
he will stand by. That he is unjustly as
sailed is lied about. lampooned and viii
fed, he considers the natural outcome of
the policy he has pursued to stand by the
city and its bests interests regardless of
private rings and cliques, and OF cranks
and termigants who have not been able
to use him or TO force upon the city their
peculiar ideas. Mclaughlin is right; ii
the cranks are to be replied to, one will
be kept busy for a lifetime. The straight
forward man lets them blow themselves
with their vociferation, and trusts to the
eternal law that the truth will prevail,
and that he who is right can afford to
wait
The record-union., 1892-03-05
WHAT A SPECTACLE.

The fight for John B. Rodgers and VIM.
Mclaughlin is against all manner of boss
and crank and -the-manger and
deluded opposition. Mclaughlin and
Rodgers are free men. The city needs
them both in office.
All the other candidates aim their shafts
against these two men. Why? What
has Rodgers done that he should be lam
pooned and sneered at? What has Nc
Laughlin done that certain individuals
should pour out money to advertise vii
famous hbels upon him?
These two men are guilty-the one Of
having been tried and found to have the
courage and capacity essential to duty
doing; the other that he has the requisite
fearlessness and freedom necessary to
cleanse that rotten sink of all manner of
foulness, the Police Department.
Why were the prostitutes the other day
all ordered out of town? Why did they
not go? Is it possible that property
owner landlords of these outcasts were
thus made to put up coin that is being
used to down Rodgers and to floor Nc
Laughlin? 1t is possible; it is possible;
it is likely true.
For with Rodgers as Chief and Nc
Laughlin in the Board of Trustees to sus-
tain him, and Police Commission un-
hampered by weak and pulseless Chief,
afraid of dives and the bosses, the city
would be made witness to such shaking
up of dry bones as would cause the whole
State to applaud. The bones do not like
the prospect, and they are combining to
down the two men whose election means
progress and energy and enforcement of
the law.
The pitiful thing about itall is the blind
folly of the so-called purifiers; the ever
good people who talk of corruption and
stay at home and let the bosses rule.
These mistaken men are actually playing
into the hands of the upstart bosses and
general managers of the vicious and
salable elements. They are whooping it
up with their impossible candidates for
the very men they imagine they are
doing battle against. Was ever delusion
before so complete and pitiful2

posed to classify al wards IN such insti-
tuition upon denominatio..al lines, and
have the church introduced into these in
stitutions upon that basis. The bill
passed the lower house, but was finally
defeated. But it is to be put through in
1892, if its friends are to be believed.
The plan of extending the common
school system into the Indian schools of
the nation has been from the outset bit
terly opposed by the same people who ad-
vocate the freedom of worship bills and
the division of school money among sec
tarians for the support of sectarian
schools. The same influences, which
formerly almost wholly controlled the
Indian schools, opposed the appointment
OF Government Superintendents, and OPP
posed, also, the appointment of General
Morgan as Commissioner of Indian At
fairs, because he was and is hostile to
sectarian control of the schools in whole
or in part.
Captain Pratt was not alone in charging
what he did. The National League for
the Protection of American Institutions
long ago preferred the same charges, and
officially laid them before Congress. It
alleged and placed statistics before the
House to prove that while several re-
hgious denominations were receiving
money from the General Government for
Indian education, one sect was, uncon-
cealed, lobbying for an increase of the
amount Of the appropriations. At the
session of Congress in Decent Der, 1891, a
proposition giving $685. of increase
to sectarian Indian schools passed the
House, but met with defeat on confer
ence between the House and Senate.
These facts sufficiently prove that there
is in existence a scheme well devised and
ably championed to bring into the school
system sectarian influences and on a
specious plea for justice to demand a
division of school money among denom-
nations, scheme that is inimical to one
of the fundamental principles of free
government, complete and absolute sep
aration of church and State.

AFTER THE GRIP.

The Grip Responsible for More Deaths
After Recovery Than During its
Course-How to Avoid the Danger.
Grip, in itself, is bad enough, facilitating
enough but it is the after effects, the slowness
| of recovery, that give it its great danger. In
most cases, the person did not have sufficient
vitality 10 rally after the disease itself had
passed. The forces mature were too weak 10
contend with the debility which the Grip had
left
1t is sad TO think how many people have
died who might have been saved fnature had
been properly assisted ana fortified after the
Grip had been driven from the system Many
physicians realized this fact, and assisted their
patients over the dangerous after effects by
bracing up and stimulating their systems
This was. and can be done ia but one way
and that is by the steady and moderate use OF
some pure yet powerful stimulant. There is
but one absolutely pure and medicinal stImu-
liant known TO the profession and to tile pub
lie, and that is Dufy's Pure Malt Whisky.
The most prominent scientists and physicians
OF the land indorse its purity and value It
is not new whisky. it has been before the
public for years. II is not cheap decoction
but a'pure distillation. 1t imparts tone to the
system possible in no other manner, and
sends the blood cOurSng through the veins
with renewed vieor. 1T is superior in every
respect and however much any INSCRIPTIONS
druggist or grocer may lead you to believe to
the contrary, do not be deceived.

IN 1890, under the administration of
William Mclaughlin as Street Commits
sioner, Sl97, SIS 90 We're expended upon
streets, levees and squares. One hundred
and twenty-one blocks of new street
work was done, three and a half miles of
cement walks were laid, and l 900 feet of
bituminous rock walks, with an average
width of eight feet. In 1891 five and a
quarter miles of cement walk and 800 feet
of bituminous rock were laid. In the
same year 234 blocks of new sewer work
was done, and 1911 blocks of new street
work, and $3.50, $40 26 expended thereon.
That is record of which any officer
might be proud. 1t has never been
equaled in the history of Sacramento. 1t
shows what man of capacity and energy
and firmness can do. Yet in all this mass
of works and great accomplishment, no
man can say with truth that William
Mclaughlin acted for other interest than
that of the people. The money was all
wisely expended, and every cent is ac-
counted for. More street work was done
at less cost to the city and the property
owners under Mr.. McLaughlin's admin
istration than ever before in the history
of the city. He favored all progressive
schemes; favored the Improvement AS
ISOLATION, that to-day permits it's officials
to abuse him in anonymous articles; en-
forced the laws conserved economy in
city expenses; made secure our levees;
secured to an outlying section an electric
railway, by standing firm against efforts
to isolate one-thiyd of the city. The peo-
pie viii not rebuke such an official, and
supplant him by the untried or the in
competent.
The record-union., 1892-03-05

VOTERS should not be swayed by the
fact that here and there are few citizens
who think that Mr.. Mclaughlin has not
put IN drainpipe as large or larger than
they hold necessary; that this street has
not been opened, or that alley closed, or
this crossing put upon certain grade, or
that made exactly as others think it
should be. These things are inseparable
from the duty of the office of Street Com
missioner. No man can meet the exact
desires and tastes OF all people. The very
TACT that when one attempts to do it he
satisfies no one ought to convince intelli-
gent men that an officer who treads on
some toes is more nearly right than he
who creates no friction in the perform
ance of his duty.

LAND HOLDINGS IN CALIFORNIA.

LAND HOLDINGS IN CALIFORNIA.
In San Francisco there is a club of
thinking men, the habit of which is to
meet at stated periods and discuss lead
ing questions of State and national poll
ties, of social and domestic concern, of
moral and political reforms, etc. This
Chit-Chat Club, like its counterpart in
this city, is a school of thought, and there
ought to be one such in every consider
able community.
By request of those who heard a recent
paper by Mr.. William IL. Mills, read be-
fore the Chit-Chat Club, we publish this
morning an essay by that gentleman on
Land Holdings in California" 1t will
be found to be exhaustive of the whole
subject, in all respects the most calm,
searching, able and fearless exposition of
the questions treated yet made. 1t will
well repay for the reading, and we vent
ture the assertion that no man who reads
it will fail to carefully preserve it for
reference.

THE CASE OF CAPTAIN PRATT.

Another excellent reason for the adop-
ton of the proposed Sixteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, to prohibit the use of public funds
for any institution. school or organiza-
ton, in whole or in part controlledby
sectarians, is found in the case of Captain
Pratt
BE is superintendent of the Carlisle
Indian School and is an officer of the
United States Army. He charged re-
Gently that an attack upon an asked for APP
preparation for the schools was actuated
by Catholic influences. He added that
the church lobbied in Congress and keeps
paid lobby in Washington to oppose the
Indian Government schools, because
they are deemed detrimental to the paro
chial schools, which, he holds and so
charged, now receive more than twice
the amount from the Government which
any other schools receive. For adhering
to his statement the House on Tuesday
cut off Captain Pratt's salary as Superin-
tendent.
So long as Governmental appropria-
tons are made for part support of any
sectarian institutions there will be fric-
ton of an unhealthy and dangerous char
acter that must augment as the institu-
tons increase and the demands for State
money enlarge. The amendment intro
duced in Congress on the 18th of January
proposes that mo State shall pass any
law respecting an establishment of re-
ligion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof, or use its property or credit, or
any money raised by taxation, or author
ize either to be used for the purpose of
founding, maintaining or aiding, by ap-
preparation, payment for service, ex-
penses, or otherwise, any church, re-
ligious denomination or religious society.
or any institution, society or undertaking
which is wholly or in part under secta-
rian or ecclesiastical control"
If that was the policy of the country to-
day, there would be removed from poll
tics and legislation an element that many
well-wishers of the Republic hold to be a
menace to free institutions. The amend
ment aims at an abuse from the diversion
of public money, drawn from the people
by taxation, from proper public objects
to private purposes. 1t is no answer to
say that these objects are meritorious.
that they embrace worthy charities, hu-
name labors and philanthropic works.
They are not part of the governmental
system; as charities they should rest
their claims upon the charitable and
philanthropic alone. To support them in
part, or wholly, from the public purse is
but one step removed from division of
school money among the several religious
sects, and that would become the enter
ing wedge for the union of church and
State.
As Hon. William Allen Butler, the dis
tinguished lawyer, has said: sIf good
citizens will unite, without distinction of
party or of religious opinion, in further
ing the adoption OF this amendment. il
win be step forward in the progress Of
our institutions and an enduring bulwark
of the common school system throughout

circulation, that some crank would ''get

The law, nevertheless, is wise aud the
people of California placed it in their
Constitution. A new charter must be
given to the people to read before they
can vote upon it. 1t must be officially
published to comply with the Constitu-
ton. 1t must be done in papers of gem
eral circulation and not in temporary cir
culars. Yet because of these facts, Jour
mails of this city are lampooned and viii
fed and their motives assailed in the
present campaign. The wretched scrib-
blers who descend to this depth of little
ness and filth ought to be harried through
the streets. A more infamous attempt to
force into a local campaign,a foreign mat
ter was never made. The question of the
adoption, rejection or advertising of the
new charter has no more to do with the
pending election than has bill before
the German Reichstag. No matter who
becomes Trustee, Chief of Police, City
Attorney and Fire Commissioner, the
new charter must be voted upon, and
