THE SENATE

Session

Sacramento March 16-In the Senate
the last day of the Legislatures session
began with a rush and hum of business,
for much was to be done and the time
was short. The speeches were brief and
the Legislature showed what it could do
when it desired. Smith of Kern revived
the county division fight, asking for the
suspension of the constitutional provis-
ions to take up the Davis county division
bill, which passed the Assembly last
night. The bill is identified with the
Tinker bill, over which fierce and losing
battle occurred early in the session. 1t
required two thirds vote to get the bill up
for consideration. There was a call of the
House. and Frank of Santa Clara and
Martin of Placer were induced to change
from no to aye but even with their votes
one was lacking, and by 26 ayes to II
noes the Senate refused to raise the
county division ghost.
The school teachers annuity fund bill
passed by vote of % ayes to 10 noes and
was rushed into the Assembly.
Bills were also passed establishing a
state normal school at San Diego and
authorizing the trustees to be named by
the Governor; to accept gift of land:
creating exempt tiremen's relief funds in
various counties and cities, and author
izing the Board of Equalization to fix the
tax levy.

until evening.

ED. APPEAL: This morning under
the head of Saint Cleveland you
gave two reasons for giving my COM
munication OF the day before a place
in the APPEAL The first one testified
TO a manly courage that was credit
able The second was uncharitable
as il was for purposes of exposing my
mental oblquity ' Still the phrase of
uncharitableness was excusable as
YOU appear TO have been absent
minded while writing, for you i'm
mediately proceed to credit me with
firmness that prohibits devotion from
old time Democracy. Then you has
ten to upset all by attributing my
firmness TO cobwebs woven across my
brain. But enough of these innocent
and amusing contradictions.
You say that my statement that
Amer leans would not take bonds is
not true. You must have written
hurriedly and carelessly. If you
will re read what did say, you will
learn that New York bankers were
anxious to obtain bonds providing
that they could obtain them in their
own way, which was to take bonds
from the Treasury to day and gold
from them tomorrow By such deal
ing the Treasurer would be issuing
bonds until the bankers could force
him to suspend specie paym ent and
throw the credit Of the country where
he found it on March 4th, 1893.
You are aware Of course that the
bankers began a run on the Treasury
about the middle of January, and kept
it constantly moving until about the
middle of February, when about forty
milton dollars had been withdrawn.
The old miser Russell Sage, expecting
the run would be successful, in which
ease gold would be at high
premium. drew out over half a million
of gold to make little pocket change,
when the scheme of the bankers had
reached the Objectionable point But
that General of finances, Carlisle,
blockaded the game by going into the
market and buying gold by the issue
oflbonds. 1t is very fortunate for the
country that it has a Treasurer that
cannot be caught mapping, but one
who is at all times active and earnest
in performing his important duties
ably
You say that | can see no wrong in
Cleveland. even should he become a
dynamiter As .ong as he adheres
closely and faithfully to the principles
of Democracy as he has, and contin.
tinues to exert his efforts for the full
fillment of the promises made in that
grand Democratic platform at Chi
cago in 1892. / will remain an ardent
admirer and when he violates the
principles of Democracy. and the pro
misses made in that platform, my adj
miration will cease.

flLIBUSTERlNG MINORITY.

Yesterday Mr.. German arose and
roasted the filibustering minority who
were wasting valuable time and OBJ
structing business by motions only
intended to delay action and waste
time. He said he was tired of seeing
the newspapers abusing the men who
voted for 60-day session, while they
patted the men on the back who were
opposing a sixty-day session and pos
ing as economists. He said the men
who were anxious TO cut the session
short hoping to be praised as econo-
mists, were the very men who had
made a long session necessity and
he thought the public should know
just where to place the blame. The
language of M. German is approp-
riate to the situation as it now stands,
and the APPEAL proposes to let the
public know where the real blame be-
longs of extending the session at an
expense of thousands of dollars of the
peoples money
The extended session is due solely
and absolutely o the men who have
tried to make a kindergarten exhibit
ton of the Legislature and some e
them have done so with the deliberate
intent of extending the session that
they may cast the blame on the Sill
yer party. The job has been apparen;
for the last few weeks. and when the
facts are known to the people they
will know exactly where to place the
blame.

lot of suckers their minds will he dis
