sanctioned, supported and approved by
Democratic Governor. Stalwart partisans,
therefore, as well as Independent citizens,
have good reasons for supporting the pro-
posed reforms and will add to the force or
public opinion that urges them forward.
The duty of the press in this juncture is
plain. 1t should throw the whole OF It's
influence on the side OF harmony and give
a cordial approval to ali who are working
to that end There should be a cessation
of the ieers and sneers that have SO often
assailed every member of the Legislature
who has really tried to do good work; there
should be an end to the idle and scandal
ons babble about boodlers and bosses and
all such stuff. Now is the time to look to
the front, to give prominence to the lead
ers, to discuss great acts of legislation, and
to deal with all the subjects of the session
in manner worthy of the government OF
the commonwealth of California.

REVIVAL OF GOLD MINING.

Encouraging signs of 4 revival in the
gold-mining business are noticed III many
directions. This is especially the case III
Amador and Tuolumne counties, where
work has been resumed on num-
Der of abandoned properties, while
mines which have been worked all
along are said 10 be yielding better
output than formerly. AT several other
spots on the Sierra r resumption of activity
is reported by the local papers, though
there is an absence of the usual Boosting
of big finds. Miners seem to be more in
clined TO look for their profits from digging
in the earth than from sales TO outside
parties.
In mining circles it is common talk that
the profits of some of the Sierra mines are
much larger than the public suspects.
One resident OF this city is said to be draw
inc an income of $4,000 a month from his
properties whose names are hardly known;
and men who are equally unknown are
mentioned who are drawing their 100000
a year from the bowels OF the earth, and
saving nothing about it. Every geologist
knows that the Sierra is full of undiscov-
cred gold, and it stands to reason that
some day it Will be got out, in spite Of the
drawbacks under which hydraulic mining
has had to labor, and the lean ores which
are being hoisted from some of the veins.
If the gold-mining industry resumes its
ancient activity, it will do so under far bet
ter auspices than formerly, for it will rely
on sources of supply which are not liable
to collapse. At all periods OF the world
more money has been made by mining lean
ores than rich ores. The latter are sure
sooner or later to peter out, and the owner
is likely TO sink all his gains in fruitless
pursuit for the lost bonanza, whereas a
body of Jean ore, carrying pretty uniform
though low percentage of the precious
III etal, is likely 10 stay and 10 go on yield
ing fair return 10 the legitimate miner
for years and generations. The ores which
are making the fortunes of miners at Wit
watersrand, in South Africa, rarely run as
high as three-quarters OF an ounce TO the
ton, vet they are Outputting 100000 OF
gold per year, and every one who has Sc
cured few feet on the main vein is becom-
ing a millionaire. The decomposed rock
in which the gold is found is hardly ever
either rich or absolutely barren; it yields q
handsome profit to the operator who works
it on scientific principles and with econom-
zeal methods. So here the veins which are
now being worked on the Sierra yield an
ore as to which the balance of profit or loss
depends on the miners skill and thrift.
Those are the veins which in the long run
are the most profitable TO work.
The new prospect is one upon which Cal
ifornia is entitled to legitimate congratula-
ton, for the industry whose revival it pre-
sages will not this time contain gambling

AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.

All reports from Sacramento in regard
TO the outlook for the legislation of the
session are distinctly encouraging TO the
friends of economy and good government
Our statement of few days ago that the
present body might make itself known as
the Legislature of thousand reforms"
may prove to be something more than a
casual epigram. There appears to be a
thorough understanding and agreement at
present between the Governor and the
leaders of both branches of the Legisla-
ture in reference to the policy of retrench-
ment, and while we can hardly expect that
the agreement will continue so perfect
when it comes to matters of detail as it is
on the general principle, there is still a
fair degree of assurance that sufficient
harmony will be maintained throughout
to produce good results.
The outlook is certainly better than any
we have had in the State for many wears,
and it is fortunate that it comedies with a
public opinion distinctly favorable to it,
and a political situation that is in the
highest degree propitious. No Republican
can object on partisan grounds to policy
of retrenchment advocated by Legisla-
ture Republican in both branches; nor can
the EXTREMIST Democrat object to one

SENATORS BY POPULAR VOTE,

Senator Hill OF New York seems almost
confident that the constitution VIII
shortly be amended so as to provide for
the election of Senators by popular vote.
The House of Representatives has already
passed Joint resolutions embodying the
constitutional amendment, and they are
now before the Senate. What that body
will do with them cannot be predicted
with certainty; slurian members VINO
owed their election to the use of money,
and who would never have been chosen
by the people, are expected to oppose them,
but Senator Hill seems to think that there
are enough members of the right kind to
carry ont the plainly expressed popular
desire on the subject. Senators from the
new States cannot array themselves on the
unpopular side without exposing them
selves to the suspicion that they wish TO
preserve for their Legislatures what has
hitherto proved q most valuable asset.
Everybody is familiar with the argu-
ments in favor of the choice of Senators
by the people. The argument on the other
side is not so generally understood. 1t is
said that the people have not always
shown such sagacity in the selection Of
6ONcTIOIS tlldb tIltN Cdn safely NC u uolON
with the choice of Senators. But this
merely goes to show that aggregate masses
of men may blunder as well as select rep
resentative bodies, which nobody Will
deny. The human race has not reached
such perfection that its acts are always
sure to be wise; voters are not invariably
good Judges of men; they are often inca
pable of discriminating between the judi
ciops patriot and the brawling time
This is defect which is as observable in
Legislatures as in constituent bodies, and
it cannot be said that the commonwealth
would run more risk by delegating the
choice OF Senators to the latter than by
leaving it in the hands of the former.
Whereas there can be no question but the
proposed change in the constitution would
remove from State Legislatures fruitful
source of corruption, and would strip
money of much OF its power in politics.
In altering the conditions OF election to
the Senate Congress has no precedent to
use as a guide. In Canada, New South
Wales and New Zealand the body CORE
spending to our Senate is filled by appoint
ment by the crown. In Victoria members
are elected under property qualification.
In Mexico Senator'S are elected by popular
vote, like the Representatives, and the
same rule was adopted in Brazil, whose
constitution of 1890 is the latest improve
ment in the art of constitution making

HE THREW In THE GOOSE
4 Horse Sale That Caused Some
Trouble.
Judge JOachimsen Has TO Exercise His
Wits to Arrive at a Satisfactory
Decision.

Judge Joachimsen had a mixed-up case
terday morning, arising out of the theft of
a horse and wagon.
On December "a Adolph We'll, alias
John Mcguire, a peddler, stole horse and
wagon from the stables of j. B. Schoyier,
1921 Howard street. We'll sold the wagon
to Michael Stricken, an expressman, living
at % Sharon street, for So, and Joe
Eitely, a hog-rancher on the San Bruno
road, became the owner of the horse the
consideration being SIS and goose.
Schoyier saw Stricken driving the wagon
a few days ago. He demanded its return,
but Stricken refused to give up possession
as he was very well pleased with his pur-
chase. Schoyier promptly swore out
warrant for Strlcken's arrest on the charge
of grand larceny.
When Stricken realized the fact that he
was suspected of being the thief he in turn
swore out warrant for Wells arrest on a
similar charge.
This was the tangle that the Judge had
to clear up. Scheoyier testified to the fact
that his stable had been broken into and
his horse and wagon stolen. He had iden-
titled the wagon in Stricken's possession as
his, and had also found Eitely in possess
sion of his horse.
Stricken swore to the purchase of the
wagon from We'll, and declared that he did
not know it had been stolen. Eitely testi-
fled to the same effect as to the horse and
caused great laughter by remarking that
he had thrown in the goose because he
considered he had got a great bargain.
The Judge held We'll to answer before
the Superior Court in $1,000 bonds. When
We'll heard this he offered to plead guilty
if the charge was reduced to petty larceny.
This was done and he was sentenced to
sixty days in the County Jail.
Schogier will get back his horse and
wagon, but Stricken and Eitely will each
lose his s., and the latter his goose as well.

INTRICATE SURGERY.
Delicate Operations Performed Upon
Count de Susini.

Count dc Susini.
New YORK, Ian. H.-An operation in
which seven assesses were removed from
the left leg of Count de Susini was per-
formed at his home last night This is the
second operation in few weeks, and it is
now thought that the sick man, whose
career reads like chapter from sensa-
tional novel, will recover.
Count de Susini was wounded in a duel
some forty years ago, the bullet striking
him in the thigh. He had little trouble
with the wound, however, until the alb
scesses formed some time ago. The duel
was fought in Havana. where the Count
was at one time the wealthiest man on the
island He established the famous Hon
duras tobacco factory, gave hundreds of
thousands of dollars to charity, established
the present school system of Havana, built
churches and owned nearly dozen of the
famous Cuban plantations. But going to
France, lie lost the greater part of his i'm
mense fortune during the war with Ger
many, and the rest went i'll his attempts to
recover it. Now, at IS years of age, the
Count is almost destitute, with hardly
money enough to buy the necessaries of

OUR NEW DRESS.

THE CALL comes TO its readers this morn
mo in a new dress. another of the many
improvements which the present manage
ment intends to make in building up the
naner In a rank inferior to none in the
United States.
Typographical excellence is one OF the es-
sentials of live newspaper, and in the pres
ent dress we can fairly challenge compar-
ison in that respect with any of our contem-
poraries. Later on other Improvements
will be made until We have reached the
standard we are aiming at of supreme ex-
cellence in everything.
The work of preparing the new dress
was one of the triumphs OF American me-
chanical energy and dispatch. The order
was given to Palmer & Rey on Friday, and
as it appears in use this morning We be-
ieye no quicker time has ever been made
in an undertaking of equal magnitude. A
considerable portion of the credit for this
rapidity OF action is due. of course, to our
own mechanical department that so
promptly arranged the type for use after 1t
was received.
In addition TO the satisfaction derived
from the excellence OF the dress and the
speed with which it was furnished and set
up for use, there is the further qualification
OF knowing that the whole is the result OF
Pacific Coast manufacture, skill and enter
prise. 1t is an evidence of what San Fran
cisco can do, and THE CALL wears the new
dress proudly as an illustration OF home
talent. home energy and home success.

KANSAS City, Jan. 1.-THE fifty girls
employed as packers by the Corlee Oat-
meal and Cereal Company, who went ON Il
strike a week ago, have won their fight, the
company, after employing other help,
finally coming to the terms of the strikers
and asking them to return. The girls went
out rather than submit to 1-cent reduc-
ton in packing oatmeal boxes. The cause
of their reinstatement was a threatened
boycott by the various labor unions in the
city, combined with the difficulty of secur-
ing new girls who could perform the tasks
of the old employees. The work of the
strikers was of a nature that necessitated
long practice and it is next to impossible
for novice to do it even passably we'll.
The girls will resume work to-day.

SPANISH SUGAR.

There Nay Be Trouble GrO,cing Oat of
the Bounty.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE first effect of
the discovery by the treasury officials
that Spain pays an export bounty on sugar,
and that, therefore, Spanish sugar is liable,
like European beet sugar, to an additional
tax of lilo of cent per pound, was the
cause of much apprehension lest it should
prevent the contamination of the agree
ment which United States Minister Taylor
has almost completed with the Spanish
Government looking to the restoration of
American exports to the minimum tariff
schedule. But it is believed here this fear
is not well founded. As explained by Mr..
Taylor, the Spanish bounty paid only on
sugar produced in the Spanish possessions
and imported to the United States, is abso-
lutely inconsequential, amounting to but
$1797 during the last year.
