QUEEN WCToRIG's POWER.
The Management OF the Kingdom in the
Hands of a COMMITTEES.

Hands OF a COMMITTEES.
The queen of England has never We
toed a bill since she assembled the
without causing a revolution. The
sovereign of Great Britain does not
rule, she reigns. That is, the whole
management of the kingdom is in the
hands OF a committee OF the house Of
commons and house of lords called the
cabinet; they are the government and
responsible to parliament and the peo-
pie. They remain IN power 50 long as
they can keep a majority In the house
of commons behind them. Now, If the
queen should veto bin which the gov
eminent wished to have signed, the
members of the government would re-
sign and the queen would have to ask
some other members to form govern
ment But they would not obtain
majority in the house of commons, and
so couid not do anything; and the
queen would have to ask the ministers
whose bill she had vetoed 10 return "a
power. They would refuse to return
unless she signed the bill. Meantime,
parliament would be at odds and ends;
everyone would be indignant at the
queens venturing 10 refuse 10 do some
thing which the peoples representa-
tives wished her to do; and unless she
turned about very promptly she would
find herself minus throne. The queen
might dissolve parliament, but there
would be no one in Office TO issue vyrits
for new parliament, so things would
still be at loose ends. The sovereign
has-the right of veto still; but tie right
mas not been exercised since 1907 md Is
practically out of date In Great Britain.

Cleveland is reported to be afraid of
the PopuIists, and well lie may be-
They will hold the balance of power in
the senate; and they are dead set against
some features of the policy, which he
expects to make that of his administra-
ton. They are for free silver and more
Of it, every time, and, doubtless for state
banks of issue. VIII he give up his OPP
position to these heresles? If not, what
VIII he do? If he is TO succeed, he will
almost certainly have to rely upon Re-
publican help. And just here may be
found the secret of his boosted non-par-
tisan magnanimity in calling Judge
Gresham TO his cabinet. This is presum-
ing upon the impressionability Of the
Republican senators to flattery. 1t is
likely he may find that the next senate
Is not vanity fair.

GONE POLITICALLY INSANE.

Calamity has borne its legitimate fruit
and anarchy, full ripe, and foul, is being
rendered the people of Kansas by theil
chief executive, who in defending a
usurping minority, leavesthe state stand
ing before the eyes of the world humil-
lated and disgraced.
In enforcing revolutionary minority
rule, and fostering and defending the
outrages growing out of his own ill-ad-
vised action in recognizing an illegally
organized House, made up Of men who
hold their secret oath to be more
binding than the solemn obiiga-
ton administered by authority,
this unknown and ignorant man,
who by a combination Of unfortuitous
circumstances and baleful influences be-
comes the head of great common
wealth, now threatens to deluge it with
The blood Of its own people.
In an hour like this the EAGLE would
not prove an alarmist, nor yet seek to
place responsibility where it does
not belong, but for the present dis
graceful attitude of the state, as also for
authe unseemly outrages growing out of
the bighbanded assumptions Of an OBJ
durate minority, Governor L. d. Level
ling is alone responsible, and entirely to
5lame. In the absence Of his arbitrary
recognition and encouragement of
confessed minority of single branch
Of the state government, and his at
tempted coercion of a legally returned
majority, nothing fall that from which
the credit and character of the state has
for weeks been suffering could possibly
nave happened.
As our readers know when upon the
organization of the house that majority
had failed to enforce its rights by prompt
u cjecting from the speakers platform
and chair the presumptious tool who by
pretence of some occult right held TO the
insignia of authority, the speakers gavel,
and, when later, that majority found
itself in a minority N joint convention
for the election Of United States senator !
and state printer, in what we conceived |
the interests of the state at large, |
especially OF its character and credit |
abroad, and still more especially for the
advantage that would accrue 10 the |
party Of law and order hereafter, the
EAGLE suggested that the temporary
advantage gained by partially revolu-
tionary methods be conceded, under
protest, until such time as an appeal
could be made to the people and the
right settled by the ballot. The sug-
gestion was met by 4 storm of dis
sent-honest, earnest and brave, we
confess. and with which we found no
fault. But we feared that that which
has happened would be inevitable.
All that being past, and now confront
ed with the overt act and threats to life
being officially resorted TO by the highest
power known to our state, we can only
urge, in view Of the dispatches which are
reaching these columns tonight as we
write, caimness and fortitude.
All that Kansas is, and has and that
the state promises to be, gained, as it all
was, through many years of struggle
and deprivation, cannot be ruthlessly
torn from her people by the plant tool
of al irresponsible coterie of advisors
and managers Of a party gone politically
insane,

PROTECTION FOR FRUIT.

The State Board of Trade Considering
an Important Matter.
The following circular has just been
issued by Eugene J. Gregory and E. w.
Maslin, President and Secretary, respect
lively, of the State Board of Trade, ad-
dressed to the fruit-growers of California:
''At late meeting of the fruit growers
of the State it was resolved to lay before
Congress statement of the interest that
California has in maintaining the present
tariff duties upon such imported fruits as
come in competition with California
fruits. A committee has forwarded such
statement. The Committee on Ways and
Means decided to close on the 10th Of Sep
tember all public hearings. By the di-
reotion of the President of the board, [
telegraphed to Hon. Thomas J. Geary to
obtain further time for hearing, but the
committee refused.
'It is conceived by the board that
something further should be done. The
great importance of presenting to Con-
eresS the position of the 1ruit-groWers
must be manifest to everyone. AS w. H.
Mills forbibly says in a letter addressed
to the board: Whatever differences of
opinion may exist as to the policy Of pro-
lection, it is certain while that policy
now maintains it's importance each pro-
tected industry shall have its rights and
interests duly respected. : The
issue involved is: Shall the objects of
cultivation in California be denied the
protection which inevitably will be at
forded to other industrial pursuits of the
countryY
There should be someone to attend the
session of Congress, to represent the
fruit-growers, whose technical and practi-
cal information can be available by our
Congressional delegation in presenting
the claims of California. If the fruit
growers do not take such steps, the
natural inference is that California will
not be injured by modification of tariff
duties.
''You are therefore invited to unite
with the State Board of Trade in a meet
ing to be held on Tuesday, October II,
lS93 at l P. NJ, at the rooms of the State
Board Of Horticulture, 220 Sutter street,
San Francisco, to take such steps as will
SECURE representation before Congress
of your claims"

FOOTBALL BOOMING.

Sacramento Athletes Preparing For
Practice-A Game Next Sunday.
The Sacramento Athletic Club has
taken hold of football in dead earnest.
Snowflake Park has been leased for a
period of six months and will be put in
excellent condition for the games.
Arrangements have been made to light
the space between the new Pavilion and
the State Printing Office, and beginning
tomorrow evening the team will practice
steadily until its first great game on the
2lst with the University team.
Captain Cole has received word from
the Olympic Club, stating that their team
will be here on Sunday next for prac-
tice game. The game will take place at
Snowflake Park and will be free to the
public.
The members of the club are very en-
thusiastic, and with few weeks practice
will be in splendid condition. The Cap
tain has extended an invitation to all ath-
letes of the club to participate in practice,
and it is expected that two teams will be

The Lights Were Out in the Old Unio1
Saloon on Second Street.

The Lights Were Out in the Old Union
saloon on Second Street.
No lights shone through the windows
Of the Union Hotel Saloon on Second
street last night. 1t was the first time
probably in forty years that darkness had
reigned in the historic old house.
The time was when the Union ranked
as one of the swell drinking palaces of
the coast. Its tiled floors have resounded
with the footsteps of some of the greatest
public men the State has produced, as
well as of some of the toughest. The ma
hogony bar bears many scar received
during affrays that resulted from politi-
cal discussions and gambling disputes,
and if the story of each indentation in the
well-worn wood could be told they would
form some very interesting chapters in
the early inside political history of the
State.
Billy Mulligan, Ned MCGOWAN, Jim
Dennison, "Bilr' Hunt and scores of old
time politicians were regular frequenters
of the Union, which divided with the old
Magnolia, on street, the honor of being
the headquarters of leading candidates
for United States Senator, Governor and
other high political stations.
When people ceased to travel by steam
boat, however, and the increase of mer-
camille business created demand for
more stores near the freight headquarters,

VALLEY RECLAMATION.
The Engineers Making a Survey in th
MonttsZuma Hills.

The Engineers Making a Survey in the
MonteZuma Hills.
A, II. Rose, Commissioner of Public
Works, is in the city, having returned
from a trip to the Montezuma hills ana
vicinity. He states that the engineers are
at present engaged in surveying route
through the hills from Maine Pralrle 10
beaverton preparatory to determining the
cheapest and most feasible way. He feels
very sanguine of a cut through the hills
at or near there. proving the solution OF
the problem of draining the great basin
on the other side Of the river, and tur-
thermore that it will not be near as costly
as has has been hitherto supposed.
One of the former surveys estimated the
cost of moving the earth in the cut at
twenty-five cents per cubic yard, but
things have changed since then, ana IL
can now be done at very small poftlon
of that cost. A contract has been made
in San Joaquin County during the past
week to move earth at i've cents per yaru,
and il is thought that the ground near tne
mouth of the canal will great deal OF II
be moved much more cheapIy than even
that price.
1t is hoped that it will be found feasl-
BILE TO select a route for the canal that Will
reduce the distance from its upper enc 10
the mouth to about forty miles. With
the distance so shortened, and the fall
from Knights Landing to Suisun Bay
distributed through the length OF 1t, 1t
should give fall of eight to nine inches
to the mile; and, with the friction ana
obstruction incident to the tortuous
course of the river eliminated by
the straight shoot through the canal, an
immense volume of water should be car
ried at greatly increased velocity.
It is believed. however, that it will be
necessary to make careful and accurate
calculation again of the volume OF water
and see if it corresponds with estimates
and measurements already made, as the
first thing to be determined is necessarily
the volume of water to be handled.
There is an immense amount OF pre-
paratory work to be done before any
definite calculations can be made as to
the final route to be selected.
