After midnight tomorrow there will
be no lawful restriction on sportsmen
until the lst of March next.
This does not, however, have any effect
so far as the ducks and quail are con-
cerned. They have restrictions of their
own, and they always enforce them to
the best of their ability, regardless of
Legislatures and shooters. In this mat
ter they evince no respect whatever, but.
on the contrary, a supreme contempt for
public opinion.
However, under the law of the land /,
good citizens may now shoot ducks and
quail (it they can get near enough) with
out fear Of arrest. Those who are not
good citizens and pay no heed TO the law
have been killing young ducks ever
since the old ones began to hatch out
their broods.
Consequently they have had considera-
Oily the best OF the situation, as they have
been dining on juicy young ''tiappers"
lor three months past. II the law-ob-
serving sportsmen, therefore, should not
nnd many of the home-bred ducks to

SILENCE IN THE CAMP.

The Populist party gained its FIR at
prominence and won Its first victories on
the strength of well told lie, which the
leaders industriously promulgated,
namely, that about sight-tenths, or some
suoh figure, of all American farm lands
were mortgsged for about nins-tenths
their real value, and that the mortgages
were wrung from farm land owners be-
cause of dsplorsbls conditions due to the
machinstions of money kings, and the
weakness, unwisdom and dishonesty of
legislators.
In substance that was the initial
preaching of the party. It was howled
through the West, shouted on the Pacific,
preached by every Populist demsgogue,
ssnt broadcast in papers and leaflets an d
was believed by hosts of people who did
not pause to inquire ''who gathered the
statistics and whenS" In fact, no suoh
statistics had ever been compiled. It
was al clean cut lying and 1t served its
purpose. Even some staid essayists
were deceived by it, and the magazines
and reviews contained their commen-
taries for months.
The subject grew into such importance
that Congress set apart to the Census
Bureau large sum of money to enable
ID to search out the truth. 1t was hard
work and took years to accomplish it.
The first mortgage statistics ever collected
haye now been published ct enormous
cost.
Since that publication not even 9
ssohipper'' or "twittsr' has been heard
from the Populistie press or stump on the
aahlssk The truth punotursd the lie.

A MATTER OF LOCAL PRIDE.

The community that has no local pride
ass no reason for existence. Sacramento
has double reason to be proud of her
self-that she is prosperous and deserv-
ing city in q productive and fair county
that has especially good citizenship. But
this Is also the Capital County and Capital
City, and in the fact there is additional
reason for honorable pride.
Now, Hon. Grove L. Johnson is the
nominee of the Republican party for
Congress, and he is sure of election for
very many reasons that we have ad-
vanced on earlier dates. But Sacramento
Congressman, Notwithstanding she is
The commercial county of the district par
eZceELence and the Capital County. Mr..
Johnson will, therefore, be the first
Representative in Congress who will
write his residence Sacramento" 1t
should therefore be matter of local
pride to make his vote the largest over
cast for any candidate for any Office by
this city and county community. If our
people have not local patriotism they are
not likely to forward their own interests,
and be who does not care first for his
own household is undeserving one.
It is on all sides conceded that in point
of ability, experience as legislator, per-
sistencs. loyalty to home interests, vigor
and eloquence Of address he is not
equaled by any candidate any party has
put forward in this State for the like posi-
ton, and that he will be factor in Con-
gress that will be felt and the influence of
which will greatly advance this State in
prominence in Eastern estimation. Yet
out of local pride his election should be
given the emphasis OF vote unprece-
dented in the history of the State, and
especially in that Of the district or any
part of it.
Grove l. Johnson can do this district
and every community in it more good in
Congress than any man who can be sent
to Washington. Nor will his local 10y
atty in the slightest degree detract from his
devotion to the interests of every section
of the Congressional District. He will en-
ter Congress, and he will take his seat as
the representative of all the people and
every interest in the district in which he
is to be voted for.
In this matter the vote should not be
limited to party strength. Mr.. johnson
should be sent up with vote record
showing that he is the choice of the peo-
pie regardless of politics, and assuredIy
in this city and county his vote ought to
be quite unanimous. as it certainly will
be the largest ever cast for q legislative
candidate In the district

NEED FOR REFORM.

With entire respect for the City Board
of Trustees, for it represents the choice of
the people as their legislative body, we
submit that it is lacking in the dignity
and in the discipline which it owes to the
people and to itself 1t should be scarcely
necessary to call attention to the fact that
for one memb ber to address another di-
rectly and by name, is in violation of
parliamentary usage as well as vulgar
and destructive of the respect the body
should inspire as the agent of the peo-
ber should be permitted to rise in his
place and pronounce another member,
addressing him and not the Chair, as "a
mere telephone;" and, again, tell him that
he is not entitled to recognition on COM
mittee to which he has been appointed,
because you are only q messenger boy
ative body is it in which, without rebuke,
one member is permitted to address an
other and tell him to ''go and sit upon a
tack" and In which the members ad-
dress each other as "You X" and ''You
IL" in which member is allowed to say
of another deliberative body of the City
Government that it reaches over and
hits men for spite," and SO on to the end
of shameful procedure at nearly every
meeting7
The board has some members who de-
iberately introduce the language of the
slums in debate, and shame the Capital
City by manner at once vulgar and boor-
ish. 1t owes it to the people to put stop
to all this thing, and to assume dignity
even if it has it not. We are aware, as
are all the people, that there are members
in the board who are mortified by the
manners of some other members when
filling their official places. To most peo-
pie there is nothing smart and witty in
the personal exchanges in the board, be-
cause they are unmanly and boyish. A
legislator cannot afford to be other than
a gentleman.
The record-union., 1894-09-29

and the whole miserable falsehood coll
lapsed. Recently we published some
part OF these copious statistics. which
snow anything but such deplorabIe or
uhbuslness-like condition as the Popu-
lists charged, and disclose that the major
portion of the membranes on farm
lands are not due to any "wringing''
or "exactions" by law or TO any failure
TO make cheap money, but to the desire
OF real estate owners TO extend their
acreage, speculate in production, and
thelr devotion of money to other pur-
poses than tilling the soil.
The mortgage indebtedness that is
largest and that has grown most is on
city and town lots, not on farm lands. OF
all the Indebtedness of the mortgage
order, nearly q per cent. of it is in New
York instead of on West farm lands.
The real estate mortgage indebtedness
for ten years to 1890, in force in the
United States, was Just 1857 per cent. of
the true value of all taxed real estate and
untaxed mines, not nine tenths, as Popu-
LISTS asserted.
In thirty States the report shows the
debt on acres to be 1867 per cent. of true
values of taxed acres and untaxed mines.
Assuming that real estate may be in
numbered for two-thirds of its true value,
then, says the report 25 per cent. of the
real estate mortgage debt limit has been
reached, and if the City of New York is
incumbered as Mayor Gilroy reported,
its true indebtedness reduces the figure of
% to 24.2 u percent.
The highest percentage in any State
except New York 1888, is Kansas 40. "a;
the lowest is Arizona 7.24. In California
it is 1885, in North Dakota 1904, Maine
2o.92. Pennsylvania 25.74, Illinois 1886
and so on. Ii must be kept in mind that
this percentage is the per cent. of the as
sumed limit of incumbrance. namely
two-thirds of true value, not a percentage
of full value.
AS to the average debt of mortgaged
acres. it is shown to be s. 0S, while the
average liability of mortgaged lots, is
$9l6 lot. The interest charge on all
mortgaged Indebtedness is per cent on
4.S9 per cent of the property, less than 8
per cent. on 1906 per cent. of the incum-
bered DroDertv and mora than e nor oant
on 42.05 per cent. of the property.
The report. very elaborate one, is rich
in many other truths, every one of which
had been either denied in toto by the Pop
ulists, or the fact stated to be by their
quadruple exaggeration what it is not.
And now the Populists are silent on the
subject, and we do not blame them for
holding their peace.

Ii is the habit of the Republican orators
and newspapers TO abuse the Populists, while
those OF the Democratic party have not only
refrained from so doing, but have treated
them with fairness and consideration. The
Populist organs and Populist leaders rarely
have anything to say against the Republicans.
This precious extract we admire for its
radiant cheek. It is from the Santa Rosa

WHITE-RYAN MATTER.

The Complainant Wants q Committee
to Take Testimony.
Clinton L. White, who recently COM
menced proceedings in disbarment
against District Attorney Frank d. Ryan,
has petitioned the Superior Court for the
appointment of committee to take the
dispositions Of Alice S. Armstrong, Annie
Kane and two other persons whose names
are not known, witnesses in the action,
who reside in San Francisco.
The petition states that the witnesses
are beyond the reach of the civil subpoena
of the Superior Court of this county, and
that he cannot safely proceed TO the trial
without their testimony. Wherefore the
petitioner prays the court to order refer
ence of the statements in the petition to a
committee to take the testimony of the
witnesses referred to.
Judge Catlin has set the hearing of the
petition for this morning at 10 o'clock.

HERE comes another for the Populists.
The heaviest mortgaged State in the
Union is New York. The PopuIists have
steadily asserted that mortgages on farm
property cover nine-tenths of the farms
of the country, and for nine-tenths of
their value. Bulletin 75" of the Census
Bureau is just at hand and relates wholly
TO mortgage statistics in the Empire
State. 1t shows that of all farms in that
commonwealth 22.94 per cent. are hired
and 77.0o are owned by the families occu-
pying. That of all families owning, A.17
per cent. of their farms are subject to in
cumbrance and 55.s3 are free from debt.
The indebtedness secured is 1853 per
cent. of the true value of the lands. It
will be in order for the Populists to rise
and make these facts jibs with their ex-
travsgant charges.
