The parliamentary debate which took
place early in Nav on the advlsabiiity OF
continuing the annuity paid by the English
government 20 the Duke of SaNe-Coburg-

precious traditions Of a monarchical gov

Rlcketts, Its Chairman, l now write you.
Said Mineral Lands Committee is COM
posed of A. IL. Ricketts,, Z. C. Lotus,
Z. +. Hoffman. Charles q. Yale and John
NJ. Wright. At the last above-named
meeting of the Executive Committee the
Hon. j. II. y eff. President OF the associa-
ton, was specially authorized 10 act with
said committee for the purposes indi-
Gated by his letter.
Your early answer is respectfully re-
quested. Yours very truly,
JoHN N. WRIGHT.
Determined to still further expedite
matters, Mr.. Wright. following the de-
livery OF his letter, called personally
upon Mr.. Mills to see if it was not possi-
bic TO close the matter at once in some
manner satisfactory to both parties. This
was found to be impossible, but NJ r.
Mills stated that the communication
would receive Immediate consideration,
and after due discussion he would make
formal reply in day or so. lie added
still further that he had no dou bt that the
railroad company would agree to any
feasible proposition which would tend TO
harmonic matters, and settle the exist
ing differences between 1t and the
miners.
In talking about the matter last nj ght
Mr.. Wright said;
Il believe that some plan of the kind is
the most practical and business-like
method of getting down to results, aud l
have endeavored to put the case as
plainly as possible. After the railroad
reply Is received it can be taken up by
the Executive Committee. which may
decide to take final action or await for the
approaching convention to put its stamp
OF approval upon the proposition. In
discussing the matter with Mr.. Mills to-
day iii friendly and unofficial manner
he remarked that set of rules could be
formulated to cover the case between
both parties. and that subseque ntly the
Commissioners appointed could take the
several lists OF selections and go over
them, designating the character OF the
lands which they covered.
1.-The indications are that the railroad
people are prepared to take the matte T
up and dispose of it finally. If it is de-
cided even tually to appoint Commission
ers according to the proposed plan we
can only trust that the better class of
men will be selected in tho mining pro-
fession-men who rank both intellectu-
ally and from the standpoin of practical
experience. 1t would not take long then
to get matters down to a strictly business
basis, which is all that can be desired
on either side OF the case"

ANOTHER MILE-POsT PASSED.

This morning the RECORD UNION enters
upon new volume, the forty first since
the consolidation of the RECORD and the
UNION and the ninetieth since the
foundation of the journal. It is not our
purpose to boast Of what the paper has
accomplished, as it's record speaks for
itself. It has 81 all times striven to con-
serve all public good, to promote all
genuine reforms. to publish the news
and inform the Intelligence, to do battle for
the integrity of the republic, encourage
patriotism and law abiding. and to build
up the city of Sacramento and the great
Sacramento Valley. Is has labored for
the Advancement and development of
the whole State and the betterment of all
conditions attaching to it. 1t has kept it's
hands clean, it's record unspotted, and its
pages as free as possible in daily news
publication, from all that tends to COR
the restraints and obligations of good
citizenship. What it has been in the past
it will be in the future; except that as the
field broadens with the industrial de-
velopment of the new Sacramento the
paper will be improved in all its depart
ments

AGAIN the police force around 'the
Bay" is at fault. They pounced upon
poor Muhlner as the murderer of Jennie
Lewis, basing their case upon circum-
stances that would not justify the arrest
OF g Chinaman for pig-stealing. Now it
turns out that Muhlner was not the man
who shot the Lewis girl; that the girl was
by no means the modest maiden alleged,
but had many male string to her bow,
with some Of whom she remained away
all night; that her murderer was a large
man with coal-black hair, whereas
Muhlner is small and blonde. These
facts, established at the inquest. were 80
easily ascertainable that the wonder is
how the Oakland and San Francisco po-
lice could have missed stumbling over
them.

assail the courts for the administration

1t ought to occur to the Bulletin that the
people made the jury laws as they are;
that the courts administer them as they
find them; that the chief reason for
the impertinence, unwisdom and shame
less audacity of the San Francisco press

delay in securing a jury in the Durrant
case is mainly chargeable to the press OF

Mrs. 8. C. DooLEY of Atlanta, Ca, Is a
very shrewd business woman, and some
Of her transactions are OF character that
will not bear close scrutiny. She has had
erected at Atlanta, on the grounds of the
Cotton Exposition, building In which
she offers to sell space to exhibitors. She
has secured from the management the
exclusive privilege OF selling California
fruit, wines and articles of all kinds. She
came out here lately to ask Californians
TO furnish displays in her building, SO as
TO attract people to her market. If they
know what they are about they will not
do so. It looks very much as though the
management is in partnership with Mrs.
Dooley, as she was given the best place
on the grounds for her building and was
given exclusive privileges of immense
value. An attempt was made to force
the State Board of Trade to purchase
space in her building, but it did not sue
ceed. Our people should send their ex-
hibits to the State Board of Trade and not
assist Mrs. Doolsy in her little game"

IT would really seem as If the news
gathering agencies would have to employ
young men who had some reading and
education. Here we are given by wire a
long account of q chap who claims to
have discovered perpetual motion. and it
is added that mechanicians say it is a
SUCCESS. The alleged discovery is that of
heavy balls slipping from rotating shaft
along grooves OF a frame to its periphery
on one side and returning TO the center
on the other. Every body who knows
anything OF the laws and history of me-
ehanics knows OF that device. It is hoary
with age. Every schoolboy of an upper
grammar grade knows perpetual motion

prohibited by the laws of mechanics and

ment to William l., it must be concluded
that the Emperor of Germany considers
that all there is of the nation is himself
and all duty of subjects consists in i'm

Emperor will awake to the truth that

Rumors are already being actively cir
culated that the Board OF Equalization
intends to increase the San Francisco as
sessment. and the county officials expect
a raise. but what it will be they cannot
guess.
Last year the assessment was raised Is
per cent. Two years before that the local
valuation WAS raised 20 per cent. and the
year preceding it was advanced 30 per
