IL 10 stay there. All good Democrats, he
said. should stand with him.
McAllister said he was a Democratic
representative and had powder factory
in his district. He would not vote to
drive it away.
Senator Wilson, of course, could not
resist the temptation to make speech.
The Democratic party is the people of
this beautiful State" he said, ''but the
Republicans has got in here and made
HI of it by special legislation"
Then the roll was called. Senator
Williams voted for his bill But he was
the only one.
GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
The general appropriation bill has
passed the Assembly, just as recon-
mended by the Ways and Means Com
mittee. When it came up tor second
reading yesterday, Mr.. Vann moved to
strike out the 100000 appropriation for
the payment Of armory rents of the
companies composing the National
Guard, and he thought the appropriations
generally should be cut down. He said
the total appropriations for the National
Guard foot up about 100000, and in his
judgment 100000 would be liberal ap-
preparation.
There was flow of patriotic one
minute speeches against the amendment
offered by the Colusa Populist. The old
soldiers in the House related their war
records, and the young members, fired
with patriotism, spoke eloquently of
what had been accomplished by the pre-
servers OF the Union when our country
was in peril.
1he amendment was voted down al
most unanimously. The appropriations
made arc the same as heretofore pub
lished in these columns.
COUNTY AND TOWNSHIP GOVERNMENTS.
The omnibus county and township
government bill caused a great amount
OF debate in the Assembly. The old
night on the sheep question was renewed.
The Assembly several weeks ago voted
to continue in force the law permitting
mountain county Boards of Supervisors
to tax sheep which go to the mountains
for pasturage. The Committee on County
and Township Governments in the
omnibus bill provided otherwise. The
representatives OF the mountain counties.
being on the alert, discovered the situa-
ton and succeeded in striking out by a
good majority the Objectionable clause.
Section 81 of the bill also caused some
debate. 1t was amended in some few
particulars and as amended reads as fol-
lows:
The Board of Supervisors of any
county may provide fer widening, deep
ening, strengthening, removing obstruc-
tons from, and otherwise improving all
streams and washes within the county
for use as public highways, for rafting
and floating lumber, and also protecting
the banks and adjacent lands from over
How of such streams or washes, when
the same are not declared by law to be.
and in fact are not navigable for CONNER
clal purposes, the overflow of which
interteres with highways, and provide
regulations for the use, repair, and con-
troll thereof; but no regulation Of the
board, nor improvements directed, must
in any manner interfere with the private
rights or privileges OF riparian owners.
miners, or others. Whenever, in the
opinion of the Board of Supervisors. the
general fund is insufficient to defrav the
cost of the improvements provided for
under this section, they may levy tax
or contract a bonded Indebtedness there
for in the manner provided by this Act"
Mr.. Shanahan objected to the whole
section. He said it would vest in corpor-
tions absolute power.
Mr.. Lynch said the whole of Southern
California demanded the adoption of the
amendment, and it was carried.
The bill as amended was ordered en-
crossed and to third reading.
sHANAHAN ON A HIGH HORSE.
Shasta's representative, Mr.. Shanahan,
frothed at the mouth with anger last
night. Mr.. Kahn was in the chair. Mr.
Dodge had the floor and was discussing
an amendment to the county and town
ship government bill. MIR. Shanahan
was engaged in conversation with sew
eral members seated near him, and was
talking in very audible tone.
Take your seat, Mr.. Shanahan ~
rather sharply said the Speaker pro TEN.
Mr.. Shanahan took offense at the re-
marks and started IN to speak to ques-
ton of privilege. AT this juncture
Speaker Gould took the chair, and three
times in succession commanded Mr..
Shanahan to take his seat. He finally
did so, but Immediately got up and asked
if he could not be heard on a question of
privilege.
The Speaker told him Mr.. Dodge had
the floor, and not until he yielded it
would Mr.. Shanahan be allowed to speak.
81 enter my protest if am not allowed
to speak to question of privilege at any
time. 1 have been ordered around in
such an Internal way Pm sick of it,

You will use proper language, Mr..
Shanahan," said the man rapping the
gavel.
UNJUST AND INFAMOUS"
Mr.. Shanahan took his seat. No sooner
was the floor yielded by Mr.. Dodge than
he got up and said: 81 have never before
rose to question of privilege in this
House. In all my legislative experience
before this session was L ever ordered to
take my seat. am sick Of being ordered
around in this way. If L have to submit
to being treated like dog and bound up

this Assembly. Such unjust, infamous
exactions should not be suffered any
where. If 1 am to be treated this way I
shall hold the presiding officer personally
to account when L meet him"
CARED NOTHING FOR HIS ROAR
Mr.. Kahn took up the challenge.
''The gentleman from Shasta can hold
me to an accounting now or any other
time. Mr.. Shanahan was talking louder
