CALIFORNIA PIONEERS.
Australian Ballot Question on
May 6.

Dating from the conquest the Society
of California Pioneers is the oldest society
in the State, and there is no branch of
business enterprise or association, social
or political, in which they are not most
honorably represented. And as matters
pertaining to the society are, to some ex-
tent, of interest to the general public, at
tention is called to proposition now
pending before it.
If there is an organization in which the
spirit of fraternity and good fellowship
should prevail with all the force and in
tensity that those terms imply, surely it
should be with them.
Almost the sole and only dissension, dis
cord or recrimination that has ever pre-
vailed among them has been caused by
the annual election of their officers; and
it would seem that anything tending to
lessen or eliminate such causes from their
proceedings would be welcomed by its
members.
The proposition is 10 adopt so much of
the Australian mode of election as would
result in the elimination from future cleo
tions of those political features that have
heretofore in degree marred the har-
mony of the society. That would give
every member who would present a petit
ton signed by thirty members of good
standing the right to have his name placed
upon the ballot as a candidate for any
Office, as such petition should recommend.
1t would do away with prearranged nomi-
mating committees and destroy the signiti-
canoe and unfair prestige attaching to the
term regular ticket. 1t would abolish
the custom of members circulating tickets
upon the streets and the evil potency of
money to influence the election.
The objections of the few opponents
of the Australian system are the
same as those urged by politi-
clans against its application to public
affairs, and it is expected with about the
same effect, as the principle has been and
is being adopted by all intelligent commun-
tiles throughout the country. 1t has been
adopted by the Mechanics Institute, the
Olympic Club and other social organiza-
tons in San Francisco, and has fully real
lied all that its most ardent advocates have
claimed for it.
The proposition will be debated and de-
cided by the society at their monthly meet
ing, May 6, and, no doubt, full attend
ance will be present.

THE WEEK.

GSEDDINGS have monopolized the at
& 81 tention of society during the week
SAks There has been very little else going
r on, in fact, worthy of recording on
this side Of the bay. Oakland has had, how
ever, unusually few nuptials in this years post
Ienten season, and so society over there has
devoted most OF its attention to the travesty on
"Romeo and Juliet" and the coming Mayday
fete.
The bicycle craze is not dying out at all, and
the riders are seen out in full force at the park
in the mornings
Talbot Cliftor's coach did not receive the
support expected, and no longer makes the
runs to Burlingame from the Palace Hotel.
