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

lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to

If anyone were to subscribe 100000 to
the hotel project as a clear donation, and
exact no interest or other return from it,
it would by that much remove obstacles
in the way of the erection of hotel, and
| by the amount of the interest on that
sum insure the paying character of the
scheme. Now, site being a necessity,
its cost becomes part of the fixed capt.
tai OF the scheme. If a site can be had
! free it is simply clean cash donation,
and there will be just that much less
fixed capital to find reward in the bust
ness of the hotel. To take the Plaza for
the site, therefore, is to endow the-new
/ hotel scheme to the extent of the cost of
an equally eligible site and insure its
earning capacity. If one has choice be-
tween Capital Park and the Plaza, and
must lose either one or the other, we
would decide to let the Plaza go. That is
much our situation. If failure to securN
good modern hotel with grounds and all
modern improvements will put in peril
the Capital location and result in the cut
ting up of so much of that park as the
State will own, who would hesitate to
sacrifice the Plaza? Again, suppose the
enemies of Sacramento succeed and re-
move The Capital then the State property.
from Twelfth to Tenth and l. to n, with
the Capitol building, revert to the city OF
Sacramento, and we will have park of
four blocks of highly improved character
to take care of, and the State will have left
the east six blocks of the park to dispose
of or use. So that in any event we do
not need the Plaza so much as we need
the hotel. But the Capital viii not be re-
acre park in the heart of the city; and
there are besides several other plazas or
SQUARES the city can and must utilize, and
that are nearer the residence sections OF
the city. All reason, financial and senu-
mental, point to the Plaza as the best site
for such hotel as is needed, and all rea-
son demands that a modern hotel be
erected, and that the erection be not post
poned, but arranged for at the earliest
possible moment. To donate the Plaza
for site will be powerful stimulant tc
the erection of the building. 1t Will be &
subsidy, or bonus, just such as many ar
other city has given to secure improve
ments.

WHITE HOUSE ROBBED.

Valuable Articles, the Property OF
President Harrison, Stolen.
WASHINGTON, iFeb. 14.-Shortly after
the recent illness of one of the children
of the Presidents household, when the
patient had become convalescent, the
President decided to have the White
House fumigated and he notified Health
Officer Hannett to that effect. Meantime
he moved to the Arlington. The Heal b
Officer turned the job over to the public
Poundmaster, who, together with several
assistants, fumigated the house from top
to bottom.
A day or two ago when the President
went to get some private papers and jew
elry, which he had left at the White
House, he was informed that both pa
pers and jewelry had been burned
Proof that the papers had been burned
was shown the President, but all trace OF
the jewelry seems to be lost. The jewelry
consisted of heirlooms and relics that
had been in the Presidents family fol
many years. He has hope of getting the
jewelry back, but thel papers, of which
there were great many, have beer
destroyed. Of that there is no doubt.

did not care to hold his position, but was
so greatly interested in the commission
and its work that he desired to see
some live, wide-awake man in the place.
Ex-President of the commission,
Raster, spoke at some length, and was
followed by ex-Asssemblyman II. o.
Fowler, who argued that to abolish the
commission would mean that himself and
every other vineyardist in the State was
to be financially injured.
Mr.. Pantag of San Benito County said
that all he knew of viticulture he had
learned from the commission. He said
that Assemblyman Mathews uncle
john was his neighbor and could speak
to better advantage than he could.
Thus appealed to Mr.. Mathews re-
counted how MIR. Pantag had worked
upon his land, upon recommendation of
the commission, while his neighbors
laughed at him, and to-day he had the
most beautiful. best paying vineyard in
the State.
Mr.. Kahn, author of the bill, was not
present TO argue for it, though he had
been notified OF the meeting, and it was
said by a number of the committee that
he had only fathered the bill because its
aim was to abolish one OF the commits
sions he so much hated, and that had the
commission existed under any other
name Mr.. Kahn would never have offered
such bill.
The committee was unit in reporting
back, with the recommendation that the
bill do not pass.

WTICULTURIST'S OBJECT
TO ABOLISHING THE VITICULT-
URAL COMMISSIONERS.
Arguments Against the Measure Sus.
tanned by the Committee-Why
Kahn Fathered the Bill.

The Assembly Committee on Viticult-
ure, Viniculture and Horticulture held
an interesting meeting last night for the
purpose of examining and reporting upon
the bill abolishing the State Board of
Viticultural Commissioners.
The bill which caused all the trouble is
entitled "An Act to repeal an Act for the
promotion of the viticultural industries
of the State, approved April 10, $780,"
and reads as.follows:
''Section l. An Act for the promotion
of the industry of the viticulturists of the
State, approved April 15, 1880, and pro-
viding for tho appointment of Board of
State Viticultural Commissioners, and all
amendments thereto, are hereby repealed.
''Section .. The Board of Viticultural
Commissioners is hereby directed to
transfer all property in its possession and
belonging to the State to the State Board
of horticultural Commissioners.
"Section g. This Act shall take effect
Immediately"
The bill was introduced by Mr.. Kahn
of San Francisco, the petition for the
adjustment of the commission having
been signed by a large number of viii
culturists from the tlourishing district of
St. Helena.
Mr.. Wade of st. Helena came
before the committee with the Pc
tition signed by the people of his
district for the adjustment of the
commission, but he was not allowed to
have matters all his own way, as Presi-
dent of tie Board of Commissioners
George West, ex-President Raster, Com
missioners Graft, De Turk and others
were present to show why the commits
sion should not be abolished.
Commissioner Graft denounced the bill
as unwarranted, and declared the position
taken by the workers for the bill was
wrong in every sense of the word. He
dared the enemies of the commission to
come before the committee and turn their
insinuations into charges, that he might
combat the same. He read number OF
letters from viticulturists all over the
State, az of whom asked that the COM
mission be sustained.
| Commissioner DeTurk spoke at some
length, and enumerated some of the work
performed in the past by the commission,
| in the introduction of numerous varieties
of vines, publishing reports, and making
experiments with all varieties of vines in
all sections of the State. He declared
that the wine market had just began to
look up, and to kill the commission was
really measure to cripple the industry.

ployment and retention therein, in the

be applied toward providing labor for the
INDECENT and destitute, the same TO be
was doubted by number of the commit
tee whether the bill would be reached
this session, unless it could be pushed up
on the file, but all declared themselves
convinced that the move was step in the
right direction.
Assemblyman Barlow believed that the
bill was an economic measure to the State,

argued from the time-honored maxim
that idleness is the father of crime, and
! that those persons who are employed are
seldom, il ever, criminals. His idea was
to give employment to the unemployed
and by thus curtailing crime, curtail the
expenses to cities aud counties by cutting
down police forces and Jail and prison
taxation.
The bill was finally reported back with
the Endorsement that it do pass.

was again engaged in filibustering over
limiting the debate On the invalid PEN
sion bill, and again the Democrats were
obliged to yield to the Republican de-
mand that six hours debate be accorded
the minority, and it was agreed the gen.
eral debate should close tomorrow at 8
Pm.
The House then resumed consideration
of the pension bill.
During the filibustering Hatch gave no.
tice that he had waited patiently for the
passage of the appropriation bills. but
unless they were disposed of in reason
able time he would press his anti-options
bill as revenue measure, which would
give it precedence over the others. and
the latter would have to fight for position.
