Gladstone's sDeecn in moving the third
reading of the Irish home-rule bill has
been looked forward to as an historical re-
view of the whole question of the treat
ment of Ireland. II is the final stage of
the legislative draDla In the Com mons,
and the Premier's effort is no doubt
worthy OF great occasion. The fate of the
measure is certain to be rejection in the
Lords, but that step will probably assist il

IS Inevitable in which the status of heredI-
tary legislators in thwarting the will of
representative body, specially elected on
the given issue, will very warmly be as
sailed. Next year the electors must decide
the point. They can at least vote under
standingy, the whole matter having been
thrashed out thoroughly. A suggestion
has been made that Gladstone should be-
come peer. and go to the House Of Lords
with the bill. That is an utterly improb-
able course.

The development of the California fruit
trade proceeds apace. From the southern
counties a considerable increase of fruit
was sent East in carloads. Sacramento
has dispatched almost one-third more than
last year, the total quantity up TO the COM
mencement OF this month being 1850 car
loads and the increase 450. What this
amounts TO as a contribution of this State
to railroad traffic may be onceived. The

1t is to be hoped the mystery of the ex-

THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING.
San Franciscan Who Excuses the
State Commissioners.

State Commissioners.
W. A. HOfcomD. who represented the San
Francisco Produce Exchange at the Worlds
Fair. He says that with one or two ex-
ceptions the California building is supe-
rior to any State edifce on the grounds,
and that its exhibit is actually superior TO
any other State exhibit. AS TO the delay
in completing the building, concerning
which so much complaint was heard last
spring, he says that the cause OF the delay
was due more 10 an unfortunate combina-
ton of circumstances than TO mismanage-
ment. Ali exhibit0rs-foreign, State and
ndividual-required material. transporta-
tiOn and labor at the same time, aud the
demand was greater than the supply. while
protracted rains and strikes formed All
Irresistible combination. AS to the Cali
fornia Commissioners the delay In begin
ming the construction of the buildings was
the only fault of which they could posi-
bly, be found guilty, and there mig ht have
been some reason for the delay unknown
to MIN. He was informed that they let
the contracts in parts, and that these con-
tracts were sublet in other parts, and that
these contractors failed 10 fulfill their con-
tracts, probably on account CT the combi-
nation of circumstances above men toned.
When DIR. Bird took the management on
April nothing had been done toward lay
ing out the grounds around the building
and the roof was not on, hence the wet
weather prevented the plasterers from
proceeding with the work. In Mr.. Hol-
combs judgment DR.. Bird did as well as
anybody else could have done. Accord
ingly he thinks that much of the criticism
bestowed on the Commissioners has been
hardly deserved by the latter.

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.

There are mum ber of antiquated rules
in the Senate which are not in touch with
the times, and yet which resist the hand
of reform. For nearly half a century no
one has undertaken to justify executive
sessions with closed doors, but no progress
has been made toward their abolition.
The rule requiring the debates on treaties
to be secret was adopted at a time when il
was deemed unsafe to entrust the people
with knowledge of their own affairs; but

HYDRAULIC MINES.

The Debris Commissioners are said to
have come to the conclusion that there is
one hydraulic mine at least which can be
protected by restraining dam. so that
the agrlculturist need not fear damage.
This is the Kelly Hill mine in Butte
County, near Chico. The date for pro-
tests has expired and the Commissioners,
if they see fl. may license the company
to proceed with the dam and thereafter
with mining. Everything depends on
the Commissioners whether the engineer
ing security is satisfactory. When
hydraulic mining can thus be carried on
with safety it is in the interest of the
State that it should be encouraged, but it

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Mr. Paddock Changes His Mind and War

Mr.. Paddock Changes His Mind and Wants
the Record to Follow Suit.
All Of the members were present at the
meeting of the Board Of County Commls-
sioners yesterday afternoon.
Major Paddock was not satisfied with the
record of the last meeting as read by the
clerk. He said that he had voted against
certain culvert work, owing to misapDre-
hension of the facts and he desired to have
the record show that he voted yea on the
question. He asked unanimous consent to
have the record corrected"
Mr.. Liyesey said that the major voted
against 1T and the record as read was cor
rect He knew nothing about the gentle
mans motives or what he intended to do
lnasmuch as the record was correct he was
opposed to any change, and would therefore
object to the granting of the majors request
That queered the majors game, and al
though the dose was nauseous one he swal-
lowed 1t at n gulp, and not a ruffie disturbed
his placid countenance.
The contract tor grading on7the Military
road, calling for the moving OF 5000 yards of
errth, was awarded TO Henry Hall at IL AS
cents per yard saa
Other grading bids, ranging from the
price named to l9sl cents were referred, as
was the bid of the Goodman Drug company
of % cents for filling prescriptions.
Directories were ordered purchased for
the various county Offices iAGO
A report recommending the payment of q
few dollars out Of the special cash fund to a
witness who had looked up evidence against
a saloonkeeper who was doing business in
the county without contributing to public
expense money, brought Major Paddock to
his feet with another protest, He insisted
that the fund was for the benefit of the en-
ployes of the county.
Mr.. Livesey couldn't see it that way, and
declared that the man was going to be paid
paid II he had to payit himself. He thought
the talk about special cash fund was all
poppycock, and he didn't care what fund it
came out of. He talked about stool pigeons,
and insisted that few employees created by
the people had no business to arrogate
special privileges TO themselves to the ex-
clusion OF all others.
The claim was allowed as recommended.
The committee on poor farm was in
structed to take the necessary steps to re

SQUATTERS DON'T BUDGE.
They Ignore the Order to vscate and Hire

They Ignore the Order to vscate and Hire
Lawyer to Fight for Them.
All Of the hue and cry raised regarding
the squatters down on the river front may
count for naught There was time, some
four or five weeks ago, when the utmost
activity was manifested amoi.g the authori
ties of the city to bring about their removal
from the territory now occupied by their
shanties and novels.
Health Commissioner Somers frequently
alluded to the danger of permitting such
colony to thrive under such unsanitary con-
ditions and as many times urged and recon-
mended that steps be taken to cause their
removal. The Board of Health took the in
itiatory steps, and on the 2lst OF April issued
either comply with the ordinances Of the
city or vacate tho premises. The order
simply meant that the squatters were to
move, as 1t would be an impOssibility for
them to connect with the public sewers, and
abandon the wells and vaults now used.
Tomorrow the thirty days notice expires,
and the inhabitants of Shantytown have not
made move except to hire lawyer and
signify their intention Of contesting the
effort to oust them. Some of them have
brushed up their door yards ana made an ef
fort to look clean. None of them are known
to have taken up their abode elsewhere and
they are are particularly pointed in saying
they propose to do no such thing.
Here the matter rests. DIR. Somers Is In
Salt lake City and will not return for ten
days. He stated before departing yesterday
that the Board Of Health could proceed no
further in the matter, as the council had
taken no steps to open up the streets and
alleys down there and that would have to be
done before any legal steps could be taken to
cause the removal of the squatters. AS soon
as the council acts the board will follow up
the first orders and require the squatters to
vacate.
