The only thing to relieve the monotony
Of a dull day was little fight over the
Fish and Game Committees bill. The
feature of this bill is the clause which
opens up all salt marsh lands in the state
to sportsmen. This is q blow at the San
Francisco clubs which hold, under leases,
large tracts of marsh lands in Solano,
Napa, and Alameda counties. The chief
advocates of this portion of the bill have
been Bassford Of Solano and McKelvey Of
Orange. They claim that all salt marsh
lands are legally state property, and that,
although large tracts have been sold for
reclamation purposes, yet where no recla
nation has followed, lands should revert
to the state and be subject to state laws
and not subject to lease by claimants.
The bill came up today for third reading,
when Powers of San Francisco, and 9TH
ers who favor the present preserve system
for these marsh lands, endeavored to get
the bill referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee on the ground of important law
points involved. Before the advocates of
the bill could realize what was in the
wind it was declared referred.
Cutter of Yuba promptly moved for re-
consideration, denouncing the quiet work
as unfair. 1t was charged that this was
an effort to kill the bill in the Judiciary
(Oul ululltISts Oi SultCl llIObiOH dCUlOI1
referring the bill was reconsidered, and
the measure was then left Just where it
was, ready for the third reading.
An effort was made to withdraw another
bill, which gives county supervisors
power to shorten open seasons for game,
but not to extend them. The stated
ground for desired withdrawal was that
similar provision has been put in the
county government bill
Thomas of Nevada objected against the
withdrawal and prevented it, claiming
that only by the proposed bill can counties
protect their game.
An attempt to bring up the bill to regu-
late the sale OF railroad tickets, known as
the scalpers bill, and force it along on
special file, was defeated by Bulla, who
moved an adjournment, which was car

WHAT WILL YOU GIVE,

San Francisco is going to build rail-
road down the San Joaquin Valley?
! What is Los Angeles going to do about
it?
What ought to be done2
| What will you do?
These are pertinent questions today and
| tomorrow.
| Next month it may be too late.
| Shall Los Angeles be the southern ter
minus?
Suppose Los Angeles should not be the
southern terminus?
| The last is point for a deal of reflection
on the part of the citizens of Los Angeles.
And if it be decided that the Spreckels
road shall come south of Tehachepi, then
what shall be done to get it here? 1t
won't come OF its own accord. San Fran
cisco will seek to make herself the dis
tributing point for all the territory as
far south as Bakersfield. Los Ange-
les must not permit this. We have
a geographical right to at least half the
valley trade, and we are fortunate enough
to have eastern transportation facilities
to offer the valley producers and shippers
that San Francisco does not afford. But
unless concerted and determined action
is speedily made we may lose even that
part of the valley trade that nature allotted
to us; and if action is taken, if Los
Angeles builds road as far northward as
Bakersfield, Fresno and Tulare shippers
will send at least good portion of their
produce to this CITY, OF course money is
wanted for the enterprise, Railroads can
only be built with money. San Francisco
tried to build one with talk-tried real
hard, and failed. Then Spreckles stepped
in-after Los Angeles had made bid for
the Valley road-and the needed money
flowed quickly.
Who will be the Spreckels that shall now
turn the tide in favor of Los Angeles?
He will be a public benefactor.
He will do much, very much, toward
bringing about the true commercial des-
tiny of Los Angeles, toward fastening the
day when Los Angeles shall be all that has
been predicted of and for her.
Perhaps Spreckels shall not be found
in this city.
1t is not necessary that one should.
Many small sums, when added properly,
make very big sum.
What will you give?
What will you do?
The Herald wants to know.

APPOINTMENT OF COLNON
San Francisco Statesmen Will Fight
Against Him
1t Is Claimed That San Francisco rlerchants
and Not Interior Journalists Should
Look After the Water Front

Sacramento Feb. 1S.-The appointment
of Z. L. Colnon of Stockton, private Sec
retary of Governor Budd, as harbor COM
missioner at San Francisco, is creating
much dissatisfaction and will probably be
bitterly opposed by San Francisco when it
comes up for confirmation. The Demo-
cratic Senators, particularly, are opposed
to the nomination. One who, although
not from San Francisco, is prominent in
his party counsels, says he will vote and
work against the confirmation for the
reason that the commissioners should be
prominent citizens of San Francisco, lead
ing merchants and not citizens from other
parts of the state. The commi issioners
are now two from the interior and only
one from San Francisco. Republican
Senators seem generally to favor the con-
firmation on the score that the Governor
is responsible for nominations and that
he owes his election to San Francisco, and
probably knows what is best. The Gov
ernor is satisfied the appointment will be
confirmed. He says he made it because
he knows Colnon to be a good and honest
competent man, and that his presence
will insure an honest administration by
the board.
1t is not impossible that the state uni
versity management may be Investigated.
The university wants an appropriation of
$3.50, 600 for building at Berkeley and an
other quarter of million for building
for the affiliated colleges of medicine
and law in San Francisco. The connection
of the. affiliated colleges with the uni
yersitv is uncertain n and dubiOus They
are independent OF state control, and the
property they now occupy is not held by
the state. This whole matter is being
looked into by lawyers Of the Legislature.
1t its further claimed that the manage
ment of the university has been unneces-
sarily extravagant and results not salts
facory for the money expended.
The woman suffrage bill comes UP to-
morrow and also the scalpers bill TO make
the scalpers' business illegal. The latter
measure may pass the Senate but will
probably fail in the Assembly.

THE NEW WOnAN

We are hearing good deal about he r
lately-this New Woman, so called. And
not SO very new, after all. She dates back
to the age OF Esther, and she was promi-
nent when Jeanne d Arc stormed the
bastions of Orleans. She left her impress
on the civilization OF Europe when Ma
dame Roland mounted the steps of the
guillotine and the pilgrim mothers rocked
the cradles OF n generation whose skirmish
line drove the relocated invaders through
the lanes of Concord and Lexington.
The New Women has always existed and
she will continue to exist as long as the
world moves in the right direction. The
present effort on behalf of woman is
merely reviyal-a renaissance.
The age of chivalry has passed-this is
the era of justice. The New Woman
merely demands that she be allowed To
take her proper place in the world. She
is beginning to resent the patronizng
attitude OF man, and assumes the right to
act and think for herself. She knows that
she is the intellectual equal of man, and
she has determined upon an aggressive
campaign on behalf of prerogatves that
have long been denied. The methods she
is adopting to attain her purpose may be
repugnant to the finer sensibilities OF
men who make chronic protestation
against social innovations, but whatever
OF evil may arise in the preliminary pro-
cesses will be lacking in the result Even
Man made mistakes when he began to or
ganze for his personal welfare, and vast
community OF this same superior sex
is still prone to error claiming that sit is
human to ora very convenient excuse
for many shortcomings that might have
been avoided by the exercise of proper
Judgment and ordinary discretion.
The civilized woman is not content to
be held in the shackles of barbarism-
albeit the highest civilization attainable by
man or woman is but thin veneer upon
perabundant barbarism native and
irreclaimable. The modern woman is
The herald., 1895-02-19

striving for an opportunity to prove that
she is capable; that she is possessed of
qualities worthy of respectful recognition
by the male OF her species; that she can
make the world better if the world will lis
ten to her and heed the message she is
endeavoring to deliver. The New Woman
has come to stay, and she is more than
welcome. She has come to Los Angeles
and we give her cordial greeting. She is
the leaven of the community and she will
teach and preach and when the final sum-
mary is presented it will be found replete
with womanly performance in the uplift-
ing and upbuilding of a humanity not
yet so perfect that it can afford to reject
the good offices of even the least OF those
who seek to better its condition

An Arkansas Mob Averages the Murder of a

CAMDEN, Ark, July 15.-About 12 o'clock Saturday night at Hampton, 30 miles east of here, two negroes were mobbed by seventy-a men. Two weeks ago white man by the name of Martin was killed by t'Ircc negroes.
 Two of them were arre sted ard con- fined in jail. A mob gathered several nights ago, but were persuaded to desist
 Last night there was another gather. ing, and seventy-five determined men marched to the jail and demanded ot the sheriff the surrender of the mur. derers It was useless to resist such a force with but handful of men to summon to his aid, so the keys were delivered to the mob. The culprits were carried to the ghboring forest and hanged to trees. The men were not masked. and made no effort to con. ceal their identity. Two years ago a race riot occurred in Calhoun county
 The negroes greatly outnumber the whites, and further trouble is expected.
