Democracy Bankrupt.

During Mr.. RaynOr's speech in the
house Thursday he owned up that the
Democratic platform of 1892 was de-
ception and fraud. and also that the
party could not carry out its promises.
Ii was plain to witness the wlnchlng
and scowling among the Democratic
members as this piece OF unpala,able
truth was uttered. He said:
\ few months ago the Democracy.
then in convention s,se mbly: without Il
murmur of dissent from any quarter, in
the most passionate terms denounced
the measure, at the same time cmphatl-
cally pledged the party TO its speedy re-
peal. | am in favor of keeping this
promise according to the strict letter Of
the instrument.
\ Member. All of them:
Mr.. Rayner. Well, every one Of
them so far as they can be kept. Laugh
ter and applause.
\ Member. Why not keep all OF
them:
particular provision of the Democratic
| platform has been construed as diversel y
a5 the various interests Of those who in
tcrpret them. But ask the gentleman.
| il u man owes a debt of a hundred dol
| lars. and he cannot pay to his creditors
| bu. 800, is it not better for him to pay
the so that he is able to pay than to
| cheat his creditors out of the whole
amount:
If We have made promises and cannot
keep them all let Us keep at least "a part
of them. as far As we are able to kee p
| them. There was something said.
know, about the parity of the two metals
but you cannot keep the two metals, sill
yer and gold, on basis of absolute
parity alone and without an intcrna-
tOnaI conference unaided. 1t is non
SENSE: it is quibbling with words to say
| that you can do 50. You cannot main.
tain double standard in the govern
mcnt of the United States in the face
Of the action Ofevcry Uthercivilized gov
crnment upon the face of the earth
which has adopted the gold standard
That portion of the platform cannot bt
carried out but You can take IA step il
the direction of it, and if you cannO
make your promise good, doas the presi
dent has said, carry it out as far as yo,
can.
This confession bear in mind, cam,
from a leader of the Democratic party
the one selected to open Mr.. Cleveland
: campaign of repeal.

HEALTHY CHILDREN.
Only a Few Pupils Absent from School
Through Illness.
The School Directors Now Making
Their Annual Visit-BuiIdings
Generally in Good shape.

School Directors Sherburn, Davis,
Crouch, Harrison, Tufts, Erlewine and
Superintendent Hart commenced their
customary annual visit to the various
city schools yesterday. The schools
visited were the Seventh and G street,
Fourth and @ street, the Sacramento
Grammar, the Capital Grammar and the
Capital Primary.
The attendance at these schools was
found to be above the average, and the
Directors were gratified i'll finding that a
very small percentage of pupils have
been absent on account of sickness, and
in no instance was there any contagious
disease reported.
While the Directors were at the Capt.
tai Grammar School, an alarm of fire was
given. and in less than one minute the
building was vacated by the pupils, al
though they had no intimation that the
signal would be given. They proved to
be very perfectly drilled in the matter of
getting out OF the building in case of
emergency.
AT the Sacramento Grammar School the
new hot-air heating apparatus lately sup
piled was investigated and found to be
very satisfactory on the upper floors, but
on account OF GraughtS from open WIN
dows i'll the basement the lower rooms
were not so well heated. This can be
readily remedied, however, by providing
windows tor the basement.
AT TINS Grammar School the pupils sang
number of patriotic songs, and were ad-
dressed by Director Harrison.
At some of the schools visited slight re-
pairs were found necessary, but on the
whole things were found in better condi-
ton than anticipated. The remaining
schools viii be visited next week
Very few classes of from forty to fifty
pupils each had more than two or three
absentees from sickness, and these We're
mostly cases of slight colds. Few cities
in the Union of 10000 population could
show such a clean bill OF health for its
schools.

CREED RAYMOND
Memorial Resolutions to Be Adopted
by the Local Bar.

by the Local Bar.
Yesterday morning when Judge Cat
Inns court was opened, Grove L. John
son arose and addressed the court, stat
ing that the gentleman Of whom he was
about to speak, although not of late years
a citizen OF Sacramento, had for many
years resided here, and had been promi-
nent member of the legal profession in
this city. He had won many friends here
by the sterling qualities of his character,
and the legal profession had sustained
through his death an lrreparable loss.
/ was fitting at this time that his associ-
ates, who so highly appreciated him both
as man and lawyer, should take some
action by resolution in reference to their
loss.
He therefore moved that a committee
OF flve be appointed by his honor, Judge
Catlln, to draft a memorial resolution in
behalf of the bar of Sacramento County.
The motion was carried, and Judge
Catlin appointed as such committee,
Grove l.. Johnson, S. 5. Hou, G. L.
Jones, J. II. Mckune and j. w. Arm
strong.
On motion of C. 7. Jones, the commit
tee was instructed to report on next tri-
day morning so that the members of the
bar may have sufficient notice, very lew
OF them having been informed that the
matter would be taken up this morning.

MOSS-BACKS" NOT WANTED.
What a Grand Island Man Has to Sa
About Them.

w nat a Grand Island Man Has to Say
About Them.
A correspondent OF the Rio Vista Meas,
who signs himself "a Tule-Hopper," :"
writes as follows:
81 read a well-written article in last
weeks RECORD-UNION about the moss
backs that live in the various reclama-
ton districts along the river. There
should be law passed making it a
felony for any moss-bacl to stand out
and keep back reclamation.
I'VE have, without a doubt, one of the
finest and easiest islands in the river to
reclaim, having natural flow Of water
on each side of us. AT present we have
an a l levee which could have stood a
rise of two and one-half feet higher than
in was at its highest point this year with
out having to use sack.
Grand Island did not put a sack on
top of its levees during the last high
water, while every other district this side
of Sacramento used thousands Of sacks
One, district, l learn, piled sacks
five high on its levee and it was really a
miracle how they managed TO keep the
water out.
"Everything goes to show that the river
bed is continually filling up, and as fast
as it does the water comes higher and
higher, and our levees will be over-topped
unless we keep building them higher.
1T is really strange thing TO hear
these moss-b backs talk. A bout the time
of high water they come to the front and
pray for the levees to stand, and will
promise to pay anything to keep the water
out. But just as soon as the water goes
down they are just as sure to crawl back
into their shells to rest and oppose recla-
nation until another high water comes.
"What a blessing it would be to few
reclamation districts if they could only
use few of these moss-backs for sacks in
time of high water and put them down
below the water-line.
1T is to be hoped that the Trustees of
Grand Island will not let the poor iudg-
ment of few deter them in their good
work of putting the island in shape that
will insure the people and enhance the
value of every acre on the islandu
