When Mr.. Estee was at Marysville the
other night delegation OF colored men
waited on him and asked him If it were
true that in the legislature of 1868 he
introduced resolution inimicsl to the
interests OF the colorsd race. To this
Mr.. Eetee replied that he had not done
go; that such a resolution had been in
troducpd by member named Watson,
who Ia now dead. Mr.. Estee showed
considerable forethought in selecting q
dead man as ths author OF the amend
ment. but, unfortunately for Mr.. Estee,
the state records have not been de-.
stroyed, and they convict him OF utter
Ing deliberate falsshood.
The following ia tho exact record
of the proceedings of the assembly on
the 4th and 9th days of March, 1853,
when Mr.. Estee introduced his now cell
ebrated amendment to senate bill No.
2. According to the record, the authen-
ticity Of which cannot be attacked,
notwithstanding his denial, Mr.. Estee
did. on the 4th day Of March, Introduce
an amendment bitterly inimios to the
interests OF the o0lored race, and he wss
present in the assembly not only on the
Atm OF March. 1868. but on the 9th also,
and on both of those days he bitterly
fought DILL which proposed to allow
negroes to testify in courts Of justice on
par with white men.
Mr.. Estes acted very badly in 1868 in
introducing his bsrbarous amendment,
but he has acted equally bad in 1894 in
denying il. A candidate for governor
should be truthful. But he has proba-
bly, listened to the evil advice of Dan
Burns. The following ia the record
taken from the journal OF the fourteenth
session Of the California legislsture:
In ASSEMBLY,

Cenfreres.
To My Brother Farmers:
One dreary day band OF burros mat
on the hillside. Their drivers had gone
on an electionesring tour, and the beasts
had few hours of leisure. They dis
oussed their unhappy fate, ceaseless toll
rewarded with poor rations and blistered
backs. What was the matter? Some
Haid one thing, some another, until the
reasons given for their miserable coudi-
ton were numberless. At last an old
Nom Der OF the herd spoke out and Haid !:
"Brothers, all of our woes are due to
but one cause"
"Provs it," brayed the herd.
The veteran opened his asinine mouth
and responded:
"Beeause we ers jackasHes."
Oh, brother farmers, that's what's the
matter with us-we are jackasees.
Why do we toll from year to year and
allow the railroads and the tax collector
to take the profit of our labor
Because we are jeckasses.
Why do we, being in the majority,
put men in Office who hand us over aH a
prey to the deepoiler?
DeChuDo We EEo JEchunso5.
Why do We permit the railroads to
place one hand on our throatB and the
other in our pockets?
Why do we elect assessors who assees
our property beyond its value and that

worth?
Why do we permit the politicians to
darken the iaeues, which are plain as

office-holdera, to spend three times
and TO feast and fatten in countless
numbers at our expense2
Why do we not vote as unit for the
men solemnly pledged to restrain the
roDber railroads and TO tighten the bur
den Of taxation under which we groan ?
AS in the fairy tale there was one key
that opened all locks, 90 there ia one
answer, and one only, to these ques-
tions: Because we are jackasses.
You know, my long-eaTed brother, that
you are being robbed and deirauded.
Why not etop brsying and go to kicking.
When the office-aeeker talks to you OF
the silver question and the tariff and the
Nicaragua canal, tell him you want to
Quit working five daye week for the
railroads and one day for the tax col.
lector.
We will coon have an opportunity my
asinine brothers to at least partially re-
deem ourselves. Win we embrace it?
Will we vote for Jim Budd, who has
kept his promises in the past and will
doubtless do 30 in the future?
viii we vote for him, not because he
ia Democrat, but because he 10 honest
and truthful? He lodges no issues and
tells no lies. His record is clean, snd
those who know him best trust him
most. When your barn is on fire you
don't ask the man who comes to your
rescue if he is a Democrat. or Republi-
can or Populist. You prefer to save
your barn and to diacuss politics alter
wards. Will we vote for honest Jim
Budd7 l hope so, but doubt it.
Jackasses we have been, jackasses we
are and jackasses, fear, we will remain.
Election day will tell the tale. Your
long cared brother. BURRo HAYsEED.

The Nevada Southern.

Several exchanges are commenting
on the extension of the Nevada South
ern railway up into this country, and
also of the immigration of people
along its proposed line. A recent arti-
Gle in the Salt Lake Tribune says the
line extends $50 miles north of Good
Springs, when the actual fact at pres
ent is that not a mile of track has been
laid or even the grade commenced,
this side of the California line, while
most of the farming land along the
Virgin and Muddy rivers has been
long ago taken up. There yet remains
some land in those sections subject to
entry, but let no man go there with
the belief that there are acres of fine
land requiring little or no cultivation
and without claimants. Such is not
the case. Neither would we have it
inferred that there are no advantages
for settlers in Lincoln county. With
increased water supply there are
thousands of acres which could be put
under cultivation. Timber and graz
ing lands are abundant, and undevel-
oped minerals are simply blank
page. But the development of these
as in any other country, require enter
prise and knowledge, backed up by
muscle and money.-Pioche Lode.
