The record-union., 1893-01-14

paper 1t would seem that the CdU was
after the Speaker. I am open to just
criticism, but object to being misrepre-
sented, and apparently Intentionally.
Inc gentleman who represents the Call
now was two years ago working for the
PoSt. At that time was Chairman of a
committee and had cause to criticise the
reporter for his Misrepresentation. He
apparently had not forgotten the rebuke,
and this is the only reason L can give for
the CARS animus in the attack ON me-"
There was perfect silence while the
gentlemen were speaking to the ques-
tlons of privilege, but the usual din was
resumed in few minutes after they took
their seats and business went on the
wonted way.
SOME WE'RE HoMEsIoK.
There was long fight over the matter
of adjournment in the Assembly. Many
of the members, who live within rea-
! sonable distance, wanted to go to their
homes to see their families, and some to
transact little business matters. Mr..
Lynch of San Bernardino made a motion
to adjourn until next Monday at 2
O'Clock.
Half dozen members, who live so far
away from their homes that they could
not return in time, were all at once on
their feet opposing the motion.
The first to be recognized by Speaker
Gould was Mr.. Shanaban of Shasta.
Shanahan believed sixty days legiti-
mately employed were enough to tran
sact such business as was before the Leg
islature. There was plenty of committee
work to be attended to and there should
be a session every day. He thought the
motion indecent.
Applause followed the remarks of the
tall sycamore" and Taggart, Bulla
Dodge and others spoke in the same
strain.
Seeing there was no hope for his mo-
ton to pass, Mr.. Lynch withdrew it, and
asked for leave of absence until Mon
day, which was granted
A motion was subsequently made that
the Assembly adjourn until Monday al
$3.50 O'Clock, but this was voted down
and the Assembly adjourned until this
morning. Whether there will be q
quorum present, after so many leaves ot

THE NATIONAL GUARD.
A strong effort is being made this ses.
sion by the friends of the National Guard
OF California to have the many needs o1
that popular and important organization
attended to, and tits more than likely that
the efforts will succeed. In the Senate
the citizen soldiery has a stanch friend
in Senator Everett. Chairman of the Com
mittee on Military Affairs. He has intro.
duced several bills himself for the adj
vancement of the guard, and will have q
good deal to say about the other military
bills that have been introduced. Heintro.
duced another measure yesterday for the
better equipment of the various regi
ments, and Senator Mathews put in
bill providing for more and better
armories for the soldier boys. 1t is alsC
understood that another bill is being pre-
pared which will raise the allowance O
the National Guard all along the line, 81
that in future the members of the organ
ization will not be compelled to tax them
selves for rent of quarters, etc., as is The
case at present with most of the com
panies.
ol1LL IAE4 COME.
Senator Bailey introduced bill yester.
day which provides for still another new
county. This one is to be called tht
County of San Antonio, and the city O
Pomona is suggested as the county seat
The new county is to comprise the south.
eastern portion of Los Angeles County
and the southwestern portion of Sar
Bernardino County.
Senator McGowan introduced several
important bills, which he thinks ough
/ to be placed on the statute books. One
proposes to do away with consent anc
contract marriages, and provides that Nc
marriage shall be legal unless solelnnizec
by minister, priest, Justice, or Other
officer vested with authority to perform
such ceremony.
Another of the handsome young Hum.
boldt statesman's proposed laws is in
tended to put stop to ''snap" divorce
trials. Fit is passed, the District Attor
neys of the various counties will be re-
quired in the future to appear in court il
default divorce cases and see that Nc
funny business is indulged in. He
is virtually to appear as counsel for the
absent husband or wife.
Mr.. MCGOWAN also offered measur,
providing that no Superior Judge OF
other magistrate shall hear a case il
which ne is in anyway interested. AS
rule Judges do not preside in such cases
but as numerous instances are know
where they have declined to vacate til,
bench temporarily, the Senator thinks
law covering the matter would be gooC
thing
