The record-union., 1895-03-18

The thirty-fir session of the California
Legislature adjourned sine die about
O'Clock yesterday morning.
During The morning session of the Sem
ate on Saturday, Smith made two at
tempts to call up the county division
bill, which had been previously defeated
in the Senate, but amended and passed
by the Assembly. The effort was futile,
however, and the Kern County editor
(Smith) refused to be comforted.
The rush of business usual to last day. s
sessions were the order, and many bills
were passed and many Assembly amend
ments concurred in. which, it was boldly
stated by a number of Senators, could
not stand the broad glare of after thought.
At the evening session a message was
received from the Governor, announcing
that he had vetoed the "anti-scalpers' "
bill. The veto was sustained.
Senator Henry C. Gesford of Napa was
appointed Insurance Commissioner by
the Governor, and the appointment was
confirmed by the Senate.
The Senate decided to turn the Biggy-
Dunn scandal over to the hands of the
Sacramento Grand Jury.
President pro tenn. Flint, Secretary Of
the Senate Brandon, Sergeant-at-Arms
Black burn, Postmistress Kitty McHugh
and Assistant Postmistress Mrs. Blanch-
ard, were each in turn presented with
valuable tokens of. regard from the Sem
ate, and the Democratic members were
appointed to do the honors.
After innumerable jokes were cracked.
humorous allusions made, and pithy
resolutions adopted, the last report of en-
rolled bills was handed in by Senator
Smith, the gavel fell and the thirty
first session of the California Senate had
adjourned sine die.
In the Assembly the morning session
was devoted to the passage of bills, the
special file and the special Senate file
being entirely cleared up.
The woman suffrage bill died natural
death, although through the efforts OF
Spencer two free conference committees
on it were appointed, but no agreement
was reached.
The bill for printing constitutional
amendments in the German, French and
Italian languages was refused passage
and the libel bill was passed, as was also
the bill for the relief of Mrs. S. j. Wing,
whose husband was killed by the acci-
dental discharge of gun by one of the
State militia on the 4th of July last.
The House refused to reconsider the
bill giving the Harbor COMMISSIONS rs
power to exchange certain State prop.
erty in San Francisco.
The evening session was devoted to fun
and presentations. Speaker Lynch was
presented with handsome watch, chain
and diamond locket, Mrs. Lynch with a
set of silver berry dishes and spoons.
Speaker pro tenn. Spencer with a silver
fitting water pitcher and goblets. Chief
Clerk Duci1worth with a handsome sill
ver-mounted toilet set Assistant Ser

similar one, while Assemblyman Bach
man was presented with big sunfowel
that almost hid his portIy form.
The Governor vetoed the lieu land bill
and the Assembly sustained the veto.

Professor james Has Recanted.

What this country would do without
its own American Psyo illogical assooia-
tion heaven only knowsl The American
Psychological assooia alton hold conven-
tion once a year to discuss the soul. r.
to be acquainted with his soul COM
mon person must delve into such mys-
teries as anthropometry and hyperasthe-
sia, then he could be almost glad to
know he hadn't any soul. But these are
the mighty themes settled by the Amer
loan Psychological association.
The greatest sensation Of the late
psychological convention at Princeton
university was occasioned by the recan-
tation of Professor William James Of
Harvard. Professor James is considered
the highest strictly scientific authority
on soul matters in America. His de-
cisions, therefore, may be considered
Of vital Importance. When he re-
cants. he recants all over, SO to speak.
When he wrote book on psychology
some time since, Professor James dis
tinctly stated in that luoidity Of Ian
guage for which scientific professors are
noted that states Of mind subjectively
considered ought not to be called COM
plex.
It seems the professor has found out
better. He turns his back squarely on
his former dictum and now admits
frankly that states Of mind subjeotively
considered may be called complex. This
is tremendous admission. But while
he admits this he still obstinately de-
clares that the complexity is not what
it is described to be by the association
ist school. On that statement he plants
himself, sink or swim, survive or per-
ish, and he will live and die by it. Our
readers are therefore warned to beware
of the co1nplexity of states of mind sub
jectively considered by the association
ist school. We are always glad to be set
right in these matters.

So the president Of the United States
will have new house to live in by
the time the next administration goes
out at least. Well, he needs it bad
enough. However picturesque and sa-
cred on account Of it's historic asso-
Citations, the old White House is
neither pleasant nor healthful for a
private residence. The vast army of
clerks that the business of this great
and growing country has made neces-
sary as attaches to the executive man.
sion have nearly crowded out the presi-
Dental family. The old house will still
be retained for the executive Offices. But
why should the new private residence
be removed from immediate connection
with the old one? 1t would be more con-
venient, more fitting, that the private
dwelling should be connected with the
present White House. Mrs. Harrison,
in connection with an architect, design
ed plan for enlarging the presidential
mansion by an annex that would give
all the required room without injuring
the grand old White House artistically.
That plan is best. a~}.1 -

JUSTICE COURTS.

There is more or less discomfort
manifest over our present system
of Justice courts. Each township
is allowed one or two of these Of
icials who are in many instances
elected to these important position
without any qualification whatever.
Hardly week passes without an
illustration of ignorance of law,
and an inability to make out
proper papers. Many other es-
sential things can be cited to show
the farcical nature of these lower
courts. A law should be placed
on our statute books tending to
give that part of our judicial sys-
tenn the rank and dignity commen-
surate with the work to be per-
formed. We clip the following
extract from the Litchfeld Revleev,
which is pertinent and suggests
itself as being we'll worthy Of con-
sideration:
The present system is a very poor
one. A man to be a Justice should be
learned in law, and a man OF ability.
Instead of having justices in every
township in the comfy, we believe it
would be better to have only two or
three in county the size of Meeker,
and they should be men qualified for
such positions. This would, we be-
lieve, be more satisfactory and often
save long and expensive litigation.

question, is right, and q law Of
that nature should be enacted.
State legislatures now in session,
have vividly before them, the ter.
rlble memory Of the labor strikes,
only a few short months behind
us. An arbitration law, fairly
framed, would prevent the recur-
renee of those bloody and disas-
trous times.

A HEAVY street car strike is on
in the city of Brooklyn. Several
thousand men are lying idle await
ing an adjustment Of their griev-
ances. The trouble was precipi-
tated by the company's working
the men over time and not allow
ing them a just compensation
therefor. It was a just demand on
the part of the men, but their con-
duct, as too often has been the case
in interfering with running cars
and the transportation of the mail,
can not be championed.

The Lynch bill, for the relief of
fire sufferers in Minnesota, Wis
consin and Michigan, was sup
posed to be one of the measures
that could be gotten through the
q. S. senate by unanimous con-
sent. An attempt to secure. it's
passage in that manner, was met
with a prompt objection. That
bill must come in it's regular or
der, if every life in the Northwest,
depended on it's provisions for
help. In times of need and dis
tress, a stickler on form and
etiquette, is an obstruction that
ought to be kicked out of the way.

But Annie Nesbit tackled the burglar,

ACCORDING to a recent decision

ACCORDING to a recent decision
rendered by Judge Nelson, a per-
son may easily clear up mortgage
on pre-emption entry not yet COM
pleted. His decision says, the
pre-emption entry not completed,
on which a mortgage has been
placed, becomes free from mort
gage on REIMBURSEMENT of claim.
The same person may then make
another fling and have claim free
from incumbrance.

Good Lord! How mad some

are swearing, tearing around and

A new disease is prevalent
among horses around here this
winter. The animal is taken with
apparent weakness and staggers
around, the legs become slightly
swollen and infamed, and if the
disease is allowed to run, will be-
come stiff and lose the use of the
limbs. The appetite is voracious
when the first symptoms appear.
The hay and bedding should be
taken away. Feed bran, shorts,
potatoes or other soft food; drench
the animal moderately with ca
thartics and induce circulation by
bathing the limbs in water as hot
as can be used, and rubbing until
dry. If taken in time the disease
can be readily handled, but if al
lowed to run until the animal gets
off it's feet the case is serious.

LEADING dallleS, usually, are
exponents of public sentiment.
The higher their moral excellence,
the more powerful their prestige,
and the more readily and anxiously
are they sought after, when i'm
portant issues are to be determined.
Men of the positive stamp-potent
factors in the development and
prosperity of the commonwealth,
turn instinctively to the editorial
columns of the great dailies, to
find some thought in the analyses
Of the great writer's, to strengthen
positions about to be taken, or to
assist in the maintenance of those
already assumed. The passive
natures get their sole inspiration
from what is set forth in either the
weeklies or dailies. They take the
matter as read, and the logical
conclusions are accepted I'M
less counteracted by a more
potent paragraph from some more
pungent writer. In proportion,
as the truth stands revealed in the
editorial utterances, so ranks a
journal in public estimation. How
sadly deficient some of the should
be great papers are, in the revela-
ton of truth, was never more ap-
parent than is shown by these pa
pers in the heat of the contest now
on, down at the State capitol.
Men of probity, honor and infu-
ence are contestants for a high Of
fetal position. They are endowed
with the full-fedged rights of
American citizens; their characters
are of the best, their ability is
known to be equal to any public
requirements; yet only a cursory
perusal Of the dailies of Minneap-
oils, is necessary to reveal preju-
dices instead of truth, and billings
gate and buncombe, instead of
refinement. Abuse and dirt are
the only words uttered in their
teeming columns, for these aspir-
ants to an ofice-their right to
which can not he questioned.
There is not a. candidate in the
field, other than the very best.
Each has his individuality distinct
from the other, and each one pos
sesses the merits from which to
draw campaign literature. To
build up and strengthen their re.
spective causes is proper and just,
but not so, when it is done by
malignity and injustice.

to be very fair view of the situa-

paper says, there is not the least
ingratitude on the part of anyone
in that section which every fair
minded person should gladly be-
lieve. A report from the relief
committee is soon forthcoming,
and the whole matter will then be
before the public in it's true light.

HODeful SIGNS.

Ministers used to stay in their studies
and write sermons on doctrinal topics.
College professors used to drill Latin,
Greek and mathematics into their pupils
in dingy, badly ventilated classrooms.
Neither preacher nor college professor
had an idea that he had anything in
common with the living, throbbing life
and suffering of everyday humanity:
That has changed. If you take up any
magazine or almost any newspaper, you
will find in it communications from
both divines and college professors. The
preacher does not discourse on the Trim
ity or vicarious atonement The pro-
fessor does not descant on the spelling
Of an original Greek root.
They write of problems Of sanitation
and of social economics. The preacher
writes Of the slums he has Investigated
and Of the corruption in municipal gov
ernment that the American people must
destroy. The college, professor writes
concerning food and its relations to the
human body. He analyses this and that
article Of food, tells the common man
what will make him fat and what will
build muscle. The most learned men in
the land now deal with the problems of
heating, lighting and ventilating dwell
ing houses. How to help the condition
Of the poor workingmen and distribute
the worlds wealth are questions that
occupy the earnest attention of preacher,
college professor and statesman. It is
the brightest spot in the sky on which
the nineteenth century closes.

LA PORTE, Texas, March d.
The formal celebration OF the COM

OF cheap wharfage at La Porte.
The beautiful bay at the latter
city has always been an attractive
spot for Houston citizens, especial
ly during the hot summer months,
the lack Of railroad facilities hav-

The guests will be Governor Cul-
