KEEP THE PLEDGE.

The Republican party of California de-
mands of its representatives in the Legis-
lature that they keep their pledges OF
economy and retrenchment. The demand
of the party is reiterated and emphasized
by the people. In this respect, indeed, the
people and the party are one. Whatever men
call neutrality-suspicious. Democrats.
Populists, Prohibitionists or Independ-
ents, they are all of one mind on this sub
ject. Legislative extravaganza must be
stopped, and the party in power that con-
trolls both branches of the Legislature
must stop it.
Parties, no more than individuals, can
afford to break their pledges. 1t is impos-
sible to deceive the people. The taxpayers
know who is responsible for the breaking
of campaign pledge and when they come
to vote on election day they show what
their knowledge is worth. The whole
country had an illustration of that truth
last fall. The Democratic party, by max
ing certain pledges to the people, achieved
great triumph in 1892, but having broken
those pledges, they were almost literally
swept from the country in 1894. Repub-
ican representatives may as well profit by
that lesson. They cannot break their
pledges with impunity. The people will
not forgive them, the party will not sup
port them and the Republican press will
not apologize for them.
Economy at this time is imperatively re-
quired. 1t is the standard by which every
legislative act will be measured; the test
to which the record of every legislator will
be subjected. There are deep-seated and
wide-reaching causes for this. In the first
place legislative extravaganza has been a
scandal and an offense to the people for
years. Indignation against it has been
growing with each successive Legislature,
and the patience of the people is ex-
hausted. In the second place the people
are undergoing period of excessive finan-
cial burdens. Trade has been stagnant
and industry paralyzed for nearly two
years. Prices of all products are low and
work is hard to get. Farmers, merchants
and workingmen alike find it difficult to
pay their taxes and meet the obligations of
life. They are practicing the most rigid
economy in their homes, and they desire
economy in the State government. They
voted for Republican candidates for the
Legislature mainly on that issue. They
knew the history of the party attested its
fidelity in the past to every pledge, and in
that knowledge, having faith in the party
they trusted to the pledge in the platform
and elected Republican candidates to carry
out the policy of retrenchment and
economy.
That pledge must be kept. The Repub-
lican party demands it, and the Republican
press will not keep silent There is no
need to argue the question. The Legisla-
ture in the appointment of a whole host of
idle hangers-on as attaches, and in voting
thousands of dollars to them as bounty,
has disgraced itself and aroused the people.
There is no defense for the extravaganza.
1t is not only violation of campaign
pledges, but a violation of legislative
decency. 1t is high time to stop it. The
people demand of their legislators and the
Republican party demands of its repre-
sentatives that they keep their pledges.

did. The audience began to litter and the
manager tore his hair in the wings, while the
star, who had been few minutes late, burst
into tears and said that nothing could make her
go on now after had shown up her unpunc-
tuality in such spiteful manner. However,
was too much absorbed in my part to notice
any of these things.
She did not come on at the end of that solil-
oquy, and, though it seemed strange to me
that should have to go through the lines
again, did it, Before / had quite finished

that had done something wrong. After the

but she repeated, $50! l shall not take up any
of your cues"
1t was an awful situation, for firmly be
lieved that If l did not say all my lines they
would never give me chance to learn speak
ing part again, SO getting together all my
courage walked down to the footlights and
repeated my side in the conversation off with
out pause, only raising my voice according to
direction, where the cues should have been
taken up. Then turned and walked off the
stage.
Of course the audience was in roars of
laughter. Even the manager and the prompter
were convulsed with amusement-but the star.
Well, cannot describe her feelings nor her ac-
tions. She demanded written apology, and
that should be dismissed from the company.
The manager would not hear OF it though. He
said she had brought it all on herself by being
late for her entrance.
That star-she is an actress well known in
California, by the way-has never spoken to me
to this day, but cannot tell her name, that
would be too mean.

Death of Addison Martin.

Addison Martin, a member of the California
Pioneers Society, laid down the burden of life
on Tuesday morning last. He was born in
Guilford, Me-, November II, 1926, and was 90
years old at the time of his death, which was
caused by heart disease
The deceased was deeply respected among
the old-time residents as a man of rare in
tegrity. He arrived in San Francisco July 10,
1S49, on the famous steamship Oregon.
He worked in the mines after he landed
until the arrival of his stock of merchandise,
when he went into business in Sacramento as a
dealer in general merchandise. There was
formed close friendship betweenthe deceased
and Leland Stanford, which continued till the
latter's death.

Eastern States would be attracted to this coast

are constantly recurring in the discussion of
national affairs, and whose influence would be
worth millions to California, would join the
throng in attendance upon the convention.
