STORY OF A TRAGEDY
Recalled by Communication of Sen.
tence.

Alexander Keys, whose sentence of i'm
prisonment for life was com mmuted Mon
day by Governor Chase 10 ten years
actual confinement. was the SLAYER of
James Stewart of Burlington, Carroll
county. Stewart had a young daugh-
ter inclined TO loose morals
and indiscriminate associations. Keys.
then a green country youth of nineteen,
was one among the numerous recipient Is
OF her favors Stewart decided to cover
his daughters frailties with the mantle of
matrimony, and Keys was selected to
play the part OF the bridegroom. The
latter did not take readily TO the
proposition, and several times overtures
were made and declined. Keys wanted to
90 away for a time until the troubles had
blown over, but upon the advice of his
family and friends remained to fight il
out. The demand of Stewart was finally
and positively refused Soon after Stewart
and Kevs met on the streets of Burlington.
and upon the later's repeating and en-
phasizing his refusal was attacked
by Stewart. KEYS drew his
revolver and shot Stewart dead. In ac-
cordance with the advice of his friends
Keys had armed himself for defense. and
the fact that he was armed was used by
the prosecution to establish the theory OF
willful murder. Keys has already served
over nine years. BY the terms of his COM
mutation he will be free man some time

MADRID, Jan. Fifteen hundred Gnar-
chists held reunion last evening in Bar
celona to celebrate the new year. There
was much incendiary talk and several OF
the speakers predicted reign of blood
shed and terror in Spain during the year

Molas, declared that he meant to inaug-
ufate 1898 with baptism of blood. Great
shouts of approval and torrents of de-
nunciation of he grandes and middle
classes were heard.

Topeka, Jan. 2.-The situation as re-

cans favor fusion with the popu-

An Extra session Probable.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The recent con-
ference between the president-eleet and
Speaker Crisp was expected to result in
some authorized announcement on the
subject of an extra session. While
these anticipations have not been realized
as Speaker Crisp mas studiously refrained
from giving out any statement as to
what passed betwsen Mr.. Cleveland and
himself. something in the nature
of statement on good authority" is be-
Ing passed around among the democratic
leaders. This runs 10 the effect that while
no final decision will be mNde on
the subject of an extra session,
OF congress until February, by which time
the cabinet of President-elect Cleveland
will probably have been selected. the prob
abiitiea are decided against an ex-
ira session before next autumn.
Mr.. Cleveland, it is said,
has said to Democratic leaders
in congress that he will call congress to-
gether in special session. He also told
them, it is reported, that it would not be
convened before autumn unless the
financial situation and the condition
OF the treaaury made it sbso-
lutely imperative

The Nebraska Fight.

OMAHA, Jan. 2.-On Tuesday at Lincoln
will open one of the prettiest three-cor-
nered fights ever Witnessed in leRisla-
tive session. Neither of the three parties
has sufficient strength to organize either
house of the Twenty-third Nebraska gen.
eral assembly without assistance of the
other two and thus far no plan of fusion
or combination has been presented that
meets the approval OF the parties inter
ested. 1t seems quite probable, however,
that the democrats and independents may
get together before tomorrow night.

Michiganders and the senatorship.

LANSING, Jan. 2.-Several OF the candi-
dates for q. S. senator have arrived and
established their headquarters. Foremost
among them are Senator Stockbridge. who
hopes to succeed himse 1, and ex-Gover-
nor Cyrus W. Luce. Both candidates are
confident OF winning the fight. but if
some OF the repub leans bolt the caucus,
which will be held tomorrow, one of the
many dark horses will it is thought,
stand good show for the place. Whether
a demand for a viva voce vote will be
made provision in the call for the seIa-
torial caucus circulated for republican
members signatures is a matter of consd-
erable speculation. The Stockbridge men,
while insisting that they would just as
soon have an open as q secret vote, sav
that il is a question to be decided by the
caucus after it has organized. and they
particularly denounce what they call
attempt by outside persons to dictate to
the legislature. The Hon. Thomas w.
Palmer, president of the worlds fair COM
mission, is expected to arrive here today
and lend his influence to Luce.

The record-union., 1893-03-07

THERE is a proposition to reconsider
the Senate vote by which it refused to
submit to the people the privilege of vot-
ing on constitutional amendment to
establish less than unanimous jury vote
as sufficient upon which to base verdict
in criminal cases. There is a belief that
the Senate's refusal was not fully repre-
sentative of the sense of the body. There
would appear to be no reason why the
sentiment of the people should not be
taken upon this jury question. While
we dislike the patchwork system of Con-
stitution-making, since several other con-
stitutional propositions are to be submit
ted at the next general election it will be
well TO let the jury question go to a vote.
There are two sides to the question that
may very properly and perhaps best be
argued before the people, who can be
trusted to pass upon the matter wisely.
The Senate can afford to recede and let
the proposition be determined by the
vote of the citizens of the State.

THE ANrI-ANNExArIoN1srs.

All along the line of the anti-annexa-
tionists there is now manifest remarkable
vigor. We are told that the whole matter
of Hawaiian annexation is fraud: that if
was worked up by corrupt influences;
that the Federal Government was privy
to the plot that the native people of Ha-
waii are opposed to it, and were muzzIed
by the 'conspirators,' and finally that
there is no foundation whatever for the
claim that the insular territory is of value
to us stragetically.
This activity of opposition, and which
has found lately in San Francisco two me-
diums of journalistic expression. indi-
Gates that behind it all are influences as
yet unseen. We have had it from Presi-
dent Harrison that the Federal Govern
ment knew nothing of the revolution:
had no knowledge of its being expected
and was not in any way privy to 1t. We
have the Hawaiian Gazette and the Homo
lulu ComD1erciaJ-4dUertj the chief
papers of the city, certifying that the
revolution was spontaneous. not pre-
meditated; that it was provoked by acts
of the monarchy, outrageous, usurping
and condemned even by the Queens
party; that the revolutionists represent
the best thought, the intelligence and the
worth of the kingdom, and finally that
the natives, pure-blooded, manifested
little if any opposition and that the vast
majority of them are pleased with the
proposed change.
In the next place the officers of the
navy of the United States to man agree
on the great importance of the islands in
a stragetic sense. We quote one as re-
flecting the views of all Captain A. t.
Mahan of the Naval War College. says:
The serious menace to our Pacific Coast and
our Pacific trade, if so important a position
were held by possible enemy mas been fire.

assumed that IL is generally acknowledged
upon one particular however too much
stress cannot be laid, one TO which naval OFF,
GERS cannot but be more sensitive than the
general public, and that is the immense dis

All this fuss about the sovereignty of
the islanders, intrusion upon their right
to govern themselves, ETC., amounts to
nothing. The simple truth may be thus
summed up. The best element favors
annexation; only the Queens personal
following, small at best, opposes it; no
foreign power other than the United
States should annex the islands, because
OF natural conditions, the claims of civil
lzatlon, the law of self-preservation, and
the inevitable supremacy of the white
race over the Polynesian and all types of
the Hawaiian order. Finally, from a
martial standpoint, we should accept the
Hawaiian offer. to prevent the establish

tive, that will abandon money-losing
ways which have no other virtue than
that of age.
Since the facts have been laid bare,
TO wit, that we can buy the plant for
modern system of street-sprinkling and
operate 1t year at a less aggregate cost
than we now incur for hiring the work
done with leaky. slow-going, time-losing
and money-squandering machines, such
as we now employ, there has been a pro-
test against perpetuating the fossilized
system, throughout the community from
one border of the city to the other. 1t
grew so loud yesterday that the Trustees
needed it, and set on foot activities that.
let US hope, will result in the new and
economic system being adopted within
the month.
Thai. done, and one years use of it
passed, we will have the plant paid for,
and next year the sprinkling cost to the
taxpayers will be only little over half of
the sum we have annually wasted on the
moss-grown appliances of the last three
years.
The Trustees are to he congratulated on
opening their eyes to the situation, and
moving in the direction of reform in this
matter. They will deserve the thanks of
all the people if they carry on the activity
to full accomplishment.
Two things the Trustees need to take
into account in providing new system
first, sprinkling the streets on Sundays.
There is no more reason why we should
suffer from dust on Sunday than on any
other day in the week. Nevertheless
there need be but six days labor put into
the system, for the half of Saturday and
half of Sunday will serve the purpose
and keep the dust down effectually.
Sprinkling the streets is as essential to
community comfort and health on sun
day as is street lighting or fire service or
police duty on Sunday, and no one thinks
of suspending those essentials on the first
day of the week.
The second needed reform is the aban-
donment of the sprinkling of streets at
night. We are convinced that it is un-
healthful and the cause of a good deal of
human suffering. With the new devices
the water is sent out in a fine spray, and
widely and evenly distributed. There is no
flooding of low places and crosswaIks, no
matchmaking to the discomfort of pedes-
trians and the cost of owners of vehicles.
Thus the sprinkling can begin with the
rising of the sun and close with its going
down, with greatly better results than
come from night sprinkling. Every
owner of Vehicle, who pays for cleaning
it or does the work himself; every house
wife who suffers from the sprinkle-made
mud tracked in upon her porches and
floors; every driver of good horse, and
especially all pedestrians, will appreciate
the decided advantage of stopping the
night flooding and muddying of the
streets, for the substitution otday service.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land IN the heart of Eeha:na County. for the
parpose Of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land OF fair average quality and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre. in subdivisions OF
40, so, 100, 100 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pav-
ment Of interest only for three years, al which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of i've equal an
NAL installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is TO be paid tor three years. and then
the purchaser is to have live years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annurn.
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre.
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from S6G to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land ut $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers a result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body OF land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
