Senator Calrs ssPants."

Senator Call IS very popular with the
lower classes, the cracker element, who
consider him the greatest man on earth,
and will not vote for a Legislative can
didate unless he agrees to support the
senator for recollection whenever his
term runs out. When congress adjourns,
Mr.. Call comes home, puts on a gray
hickory shirt, pair Of ragged breeches,
q coat with large holes at the elbows,
an old tan colored, perspiration stained
SLOUGH hat and gets into his sUlly for
an eIectiOneering tour through the state.
He travels over the sand hills and
through the pine forests, stopping at ov-
cry cabin ''tO pass the time of day. F"
He kisses all the children, asks for n
''snack" to eat, and when the farmers
wife offers hzm butter he always prefers
sorghum on his bread. When night
overtakes him, he puts up at the
nearest farmhouse, no matter how IN
inviting it may be, and when he goes to
bed holds out his ragged trousers to his
host ard says:
Il snaggcQ my pants in tho brush to-
day, and I'd be under everlasting obli-
cations if your good wife would mend
them for me- "
OF course the woman would sit up all
night to patch the garments of a United
States senator, and she puts in her pref
tiest stitches. but he rips off tho patch
in a day OF two and plays tho Same
gamo in the next county. The namo Of
the women in Florida who have mended
Senator Calls pants is legion, and it is

Old EnnhrOideries.

In q wardrobe account in the time Of
Richard II two embroiderers, William
Sanston and Robert de Asshecombe,
are written down as "Broudatores
Domini Regis. In another place Ste
phen Vyne is mentioned as being APP
pointed chief embroiderer to Richard ii
and his queen and as having pension
granted him by Henry ". Those who
have gone over these numerous accounts
Systematically have noted entries relat
ing to needlewOrk which mention the
following persons:
Adam de Bakering, who was paid 6s.
3d. for silk and fringe to embroider a
"chesable" made by Mabilia of St Ed
munds; Adam de Basinges, who mado
a cope for the king to give to tine bishop
of Hereford; Thomas Cheinor, who was
paid $40 for a vest of velvet embroid-
cred with divers work for the Chaplain
of Edward III; William Courtenay,
who embroidered a garment for the
same monarch with pelicans and taber-
nacles of gold; John de COlonia, who
made two vests of green velvet embroid-
cred with gold sea sirens and the arms
of England and Hainault, and q white
robe worked with pearls, and velvet
robe embroidered with gold, for Queen
PhiIippa; Rose Bureford, who received
90 marks from Queen Isabella in part
payment of 100 marks, for an embIoid-
cred cope, and John dc Sumercoto and
Roger the tailor, who were ordered to
make four robes Of the best brocade,
two for King Henry III and two for his
queen, with gold fringe and gems, with
special directions to make the tunics Of
softer brocade than that Of tho mantles
and supertunics.
In ono of the earliest books preserved
by the Corporation Of London there is q
transcript of quit claim in which
there is mention Of q piece Of cloth 6
ellis long and 6 ellis wide that Aleyso
Darcy embroidered with divers works in
gold and silk for the Earl OF Richmond,
grandson Of Henry III Exchange.

Traditions and Solomon.

Solomon far eclipses his father in rab-
blnlcal fame In agreement with most
eastern nations the Jews credit him
with power over demons and genii.
Well might he be called the wise king,
but of the traditional examples Of his
wisdom we can only give few. When
abont to build the temple, he sent to
Pharaoh to lend him the services OF
some skilled artifcers. The Egyptian
king, with rather niggardly kingcraft,
only sent these who were doomed to die
within the year Solomon sent them
back, each man with shroud, and with
the haunting message to his brother
monarch, Hast thou no shrouds to bury
thine own dead?'
When the queen of Sheba visited
him, among the question" that she
put to him was one which seriously
puzzled the king. In each hand she
held wreath of flowers, one of which
was natural and one artificial, but so
exquisite was the workmanship of the
latter that, at the distance the queen
stood from the throne, no difference
could be detected. Could the wise Solo
mon, who knew all horticulture ''from
the cedar that is in Lebanon to the hys-
sop that springeth out of the wall, !" tell
his visitor which was the true and
which the false? The K ing was non
plused 1or moment, but only for a
moment. He commanded that the doors
and windows should be thrown open,
and the bees, entering in, answered for
him the question of the queen of the
south. ALI the Year Round.

for the people of this State to go on de-
creasing income and maintaining high
rates of taxation as it is for us to con-
tinue the injustice of inequalities be-
tween salaries.
For instance, some better reason must
be shown than legislative enactment
why the Superintendent of Schools Of
Alameda should be salaried at $4,000,
while the superintendent of Schools of
Los Angeles, with 1000 more popula-
tion in the county, should receive 81, 800
less salary, and the Superintendent of
Schools in Nevada County, with $4,000
population in the county less than in
Alameda, should receive within one
third the same salary as paid the like
official in the latter county.
However it is not the purpose to enter
the exact character of adjustments
which must be brought about. Our in
quiry will, however, be ADDRESSED to
every detail involved, and to de-
termining where the public money
goes, for what service and to
extent reductions must be made
in order to place the office-holder
and the taxpayer more nearly upon an
equality; it will not be confined to in
quiry into salary lists, but will extend
to all State expenditure.

THE PRESIDENT SUSTAINED.

The United States Senate yesterday
passed the House bill authorizing the
President to appoint a commission to
ascertain the facts in regard to the
boundary between Venezuela and Brit
ish Guiana, and appropriating 100000
for the expenses thereof. The vote in
favor Of the bill in the Senate was
unanimous, as it was in the House,
showing that all of the representatives
of the people of the United States ap-
prove the position President Cleveland
has taken in regard TO the Monroe doc
trine. This is as it should be. The
President should appoint the commits
sion at once, and it ought to enter upon
its duties without delay
CommeDts upon the Presidents mes
sage by the English papers indicate
that they at first believed it was po-
Htical trick. Since all parties in Con-
gress unhesitatingly indorse the action
of the President, they will now be able
to see that he spoke the sentiments of
the entire American people. The brief
debates upon the bill in both houses
made it evident that while this country
would regret a war with England it
will at the same time maintain its honor
even If war should result

ness upon the basis of use of the tax
payers money, it states the exact truth.
But says our Sonoma contemporary:
while that is true, it is also true that
the decision is precisely and exactly in
accordance with the law. If the law is
wrong it is the fault of the Legislature,
and not of the Judge. The Supreme
Court can upset the law at will-Judge
Dougherty cannot"
Indeedl Then the Supreme Court is
charged in advance with willful disre-
gard of the lawl Dougherty of Sonoma
is right, and the seven Justices of the
Supreme Court will be wrong. Is this
case of eleven stubborn jurors again?
But the Supreme Court has not yet
passed upon the issue. The. Attorney
General has, however, and so have the
Bank Commissioners, and so have the
people of the State.

"READINESS MEANS VICTORY. .

According to Secretary Herbert we
need more naval vessels, especially bat
tie ships and torpedo boats. The lesson
of the battles of Yalu River and Wei
Hai-Wei, he warns the nation, are too
full of suggestiveness for US to close
our eyes to the needs of the navy. OF
cruisers and gunboats we have enough,
but in the more effective torpedo boat
service we are lamentably deficient,
says the Secretary. Torpedo boats can
now be built very much more cheaply
than ever before.
That the Secretary is right in his ad-
vice to Congress to arrange for the con-
struction of more naval vessels of the
order indicated, the American people
will agree. They are not fearful of any
involvement with other nations that
might lead up to war, but public opin-
ion has undergone a radical change in
the last twenty years regarding the
economic value of strong navy. Such
an arm not only serves to protect our
character to the American nation
abroad, and thereby insures greatly
more the protection of our people in for
eign lands, and inspires for US greater
respect from other powers.
On one other subject the Secretary is
equally emphatic and urgent, namely,
the necessity for promoting naval re-
serve corps. What would we do for
men for our ships in the emergency of
WARP" he asks. "All the enlisted men
now allowed by the law are enrolled
and in service upon our ships" We
need a trained force of reserves, who
could be called upon at an hours notice,
for, adds the Secretary. lin case Of a
naval war; all other things being equal,
readiness means victory" Here we
have a magnificent squadron Of armed
ships. but not men enough to man them
all. nor has the department authority
to accept the services of single volun-
teer.
He denounces it as the hight of folly
to pay subventions to swift ships and
call them our auxiliary navy, unless we
have the means of arming and manning
them. Unless we arrange to equip
these ships with trained men when the
need comes, it is folly to pay out money
for arms for them, and fer rental or
subsidy of their bottoms as we are now
doing.
We think that from this reasoning of
the Secretary there is no possible de-
fensible dissent to be made. Either cut
off the auxiliary navy, the mail steam
ers which we now have the right to call
into service on ten hours notice, or else
let US train men to be called to their
decks when we shall need them. The Sec
retary charges, and probably no one will
venture to contradict him, that there is
no nation having SO much of the mate
rial Of war that is so little prepared to
utilize it; that has so much of the per
sonnel available, and is so utterly with
out authority of law to employ it. He
asks for authority TO enlist thousand
men for the navy, and that authority be
given to the President in case of emer-
gency to take into service the naval
militia to the extent necessary to out
fit all the ships called into service. The
Secretary is right and his recommend
alton should be followed by Congress.

The promptness with which the House
passed a bill justifying the President to
the extent of 100000 expenditure fol
the expenses of a Venezuelan inquiry

Queer government we have in this de-
voted city of Sacramento. 1t was testi-
fed before the Trustees on Wednesday
night that nearly 81 200 worth more of
material was placed upon the Tenth
street macadam roadway than was
called for by the specifications. The
official testifying was then asked: "Will
the property owners have to pay for
that?" and the response was "Of
course. ;" The explanation was made that
actual work always exceeds estimates
somewhat, But what of that; if the
specifications call for work of a certain
order and for a certain amount OF ma
terial. the contractor has no warrant
for doing any other than that work, no
matter whether a good street is made or
not; it is no concern of his. Let him hew
to the line and his withers will be un-
wrung. Suppose the contractor had been
instructed by the officials to put on SlO,-
600 worth of material in excess Of the
calls of the specifications, would the
property-owners, who must foot the bill
for the street Improvement, be expected
to pungle to that extent? Yet between
the 81. 200 and the $4,000 cases there
is no difference whatever. Let the rule
of the Trustees be this, no matter what
the consequences: THE specifications
shall be followed to the letter"
