will after months more of debate, how
he will vote, etc.
All of which is true; it is the uncer-
tainty that makes present stagnation.
The wheels of industry are idle because
of uncertainty. Capital, the coward,
hides because it is not known what the
basis is to be Of future activity. Cottons
and woolens are lower now than for
years, and at the same time not before in
our history have their manufacture de-
cllned to so small an output. Interest is
at its lowest ebb and capital rusts in
vaults for want of employment. Not %
per cent of manufactures of the country
are IN operation, and such as are at work
are producing the least possible consist
ent with any activity whatever.
Ii the dominant party in Congress will
act one way or the other, there will be an
immediate and sharp rebound-slmost a
dangerous one-to industrial activity.
There is no longer any reason for delay,
no excuse for further debating. Months
more of chatter will not make the
slightest difference in the ultimate vote.
Let it be taken now.

A GOOD APPOINTMENT,

The Governor has acted with fine judg-
ment and with wisdom in appointing
Hon. w. c. Van Fleet to the vacancy on
the Supreme Bench. oceasioned by the
resignation of Justice Paterson. Judge
Van Fleet will fill the vacant seat with
honor to the State and credit to the bench.
It is a most fitting choice to succeed a
jurist who has so graced the position.
Judge Van Fleet, now of San Francisco,
was for many years q resident of this
city, where all his qualifications are
known and appreciated. Here he read
law and won his spurs at the bar, subse-
quently going over into Nevada to prac
tice, but returning soon to this city. He
served Sacramento ably and honestly as
her representative in the Legislature,
served the State with capacity as one of
her Prison Directors, and was twice
chosen to her Superior Bench. In all
these positions he demonstrated his abil-
ity, but in none so much his fitness as
when he took his place upon the bench,
then still very young man.
In all respects he is a jurist to COM
mand admiration. He has the qualities
of mind, breadth of view, analytical
power, judicial calm. personal dignity
and high character that so beft a
Judge. Some doubts are entertained of
his acceptance of the appointment TO the
Supreme Bench, for he resigned from the
Superior Bench and removed to San
Francisco to engage in law practice
greatly more remunerative than any ju-
dicial position can be, and yet not so
laborious and grinding as are the duties
of a Judge. 1t is feared that he
may be disinclined to give up his new
field for the honors and less rewarded la
bors of the dignified position rendered
him by Governor Markham.
But Judge Van Fleet is still a young
man; he can afford to serve the people in
this new station, and the hope is there
fore entertained that he will accept the
offer OF the place and bring to the Su-
preme Bench the vigor of his youth, the
strength Of his mentality and the trained
experience of his years of service as a
Judge

The Era of Muscle.

This is an athletic age. Everybody
wants to be strong. The craze-for it has
we'll nigh reached that stage-affects both
sexes and even childhood. The pugilis-
tic phase of this fad in young America is
by no means morally promising. But it
is one thing to be endowed with vigor
and another to be Sandowed with muscle
super M uscularity is often induced by
physical effort perilous to health and
calculated to shorten life. The vigor
which means regular and efficient dis
charge of the physical functions, is the
first medium at which all may safely aim
without causing ruptures or breaking
blood vessels. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters is largely conducive to a gain in
vigor Of this sort, since it stimulates and
assists digestion, promotes regular bilious
secretion and keeps the bowels in order.
Sleep, that grand recuperator of nerv GUS
vigor, is encouraged by it, and it reme-
dies malarial, rheumatic and kidney
trouble.

a MATTER OF HosPITAL1rY.

Next week the annual Convention of
the County Superintendents of Schools
will be held in this city. These officials
represent the ffty-seven counties Of the
under the call of State Superintendent
Anderson, upon whom much pressure
was brought to bear to call the conven-
ton to meet in San Francisco. Very
properly the Superintendent held that
the place for an official convention Of this
character, called under the law, is the
State Capitol, and within the immediate
reach of the State Superintendent Office
and its archives.
The citizens of Sacramento should show
these country representatives hospitable
attention while here. It would be the
courteous thing for a representative
group of our people to meet and arrange
to entertain the Superintendents in a
modest and unpretentious manner: make
them welcome. and send them away at
the close of the session pleased with our
city and gratified that they came here.
Some steps to this end should be taken
early, and Sacramento's reputation for
hospitality maintained. There is no need
for any fuss or expenditure of moment in
the matter, but the Superintendents
should not be allowed TO come and depart
without some simple and unceremonial
welcome or reception on the part of our
citizens.

THE NEW INVASION.

The new invasion Of unemployed
marching men, a massing of human
beings affirmauvely declaring that they
are dependents-w wherein the evil lies
has created no little embarrassment in
this community. As a city, Sacramento
cannot extend these people aid; she has
neither the means nor the legal capacity
to use the money if she had it for such a
purpose. Whatever the dictates of pri
vate charity and the appeals of common
humanity induce people in their individ-
ual capacities to do will probably be done.
But such appeals lose greatly of force in
view of the tact that the new corners
were warned not to come and that Sacra-
mento had all it could handle in the way
OF meeting the demands of its own needy
and OF the strangers already here.
These new corners must understand
that there is no enmity entertained
towards them; that our people, whose
greatness of heart has many time been
tested, are fully awake to the binding
effect of the common law that charity
begins at home" We must take care of
our own, as We have done always. After
that, if there is any ability remaining to
assist even the unlimited stranger, such
will have assistance.
To precipitate upon so small a COM
munity, already overburdened, SO large a
body of declared dependents was most
unwise and wholly inexcusable. The
communities they left. ten times and
more larger than this, were able to care
for them, and we believe if they had not
massed together would have done so
without the slightest difficulty. But the
men are here; they are expected to be-
have themselves and declare that such is
their intention. That they are likely to
suffer is undeniable. That they will have
such consideration by our people as they
are able to extend is probable; but they
must expect nothing from Sacramento as
municipality-it is simply impossible.

CoXEY and his "army" is about ready
to enter Washington. 1t was Coxey's
prediction that it would invade the Ma
tional Capital 10000 strong. The fact is,
it will go in with just 275 men, and sup
plemant of ITO others. Evidently the
people have not f1ocked to the Coxey
standard as he expected. In all there are
about 5000 men tramping in various parts
towards Washington under the Coxey or
similar schemes. This does not indicate
by any means that the people of the
American nation are giving that support
to the irrational demands of Coxey that
he has claimed he would receive.
