LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
MIR. wR1GHT's POSITION DEFINED.
SAN FRANCIsco. Cal. Der. IA

SAN FRANCISCO CAL. Dec. 49, 1895.
Editor Call: In your report of the proceed
ings of the Miners Associations executive
committee on Thursday night it is stated that
made the motion to adopt the bin which was
finally adopted by the committee. This is an
error. Three bills were under consideration.
The first was known as the COMMITTEE bill, %
or "IdahoMontana act,'' along the lines of
which it was framed The second was known
as the 'Singer bill" being the one proposed on
the part of the railroad company. The third
was known as the compromise bill, being
the one prepared by the special committee
with a view OF framing some measure which
would bring some relief to the miners and at
the same time not meet the violent opposition
OF the railroad. The compromise bill was the
one under discussion. My motion was to sub
stitute the first or Idaho Montana bill in place
OF the compromise bill. Ny motion was de-
feated, and it was the compromise bill which
was adopted. JOHN NJ. WRIGHT.

IDEAS OF WESTERN EDITORS,
Settlement of the Pico Claim.
San DfaOO Union

1t is announced that the old claim of Jose
Pico, son of the famous Governor of Califor-
MA against the State, amounting to thousands
OF dollars, is soon to be paid. This will be
gratifying to all who remember the valuable
services rendered by this famous Spanish fam
ings with the State in early DAYS. The sites of
the San Quentin prison, the stockton asvinm
and some other public institutions were gifts
from the old Governor lately deceased. 1t is
pleasant to know that one of the survivors of
this historic family, himself far advanced in
years and disabled by honorable wounds. is
to receive payment OF his claim against com

gardening is one of the most wholesome
and fascinating occupations it will inevit-
ably follow that the personal and fostering
interest which the students will acquire
from observing a beautiful creation of
their own, growing and developing under
their hands and by their efforts, will in
spire them with an affection for their work
and an added pride in the institution, and
that they will formulate permanent plan
for the care of the grounds and for a steady
extension of their rare possibilities.
And this purpose will be advanced in
other ways. Many of the students are
members of well-to-do families, and these
will be led to contribute money for the
work. Our more wealthy citizens will
then be drawn into the movement From
landscape and flower gardening at the uni
versity the pride and ambition of the peo-
pie, inspired by the students. will be urged
to higher achievements. The inferior
wooden buildings of the university will be
replaced with handsome stone structures,
the material for which will be quarried
from the boundless resources of the State.
Statues will be erected and local observ-
atory subsidiary to the one on Mount
Hamilton established.
In their plan of organization the stu
dents will divide the work among them
selves intelligently according to the abil-
tiles and adaptabilities of each. The young
men will do the harder work and the young
women the lighter and daintier. A far
reaching effect will be to inculcate such
taste for Horticulture throughout the State
through dissemination by the students as
will transform California into the garden
of flowers which nature intended that hu-
man hands should make it.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

May Irwin had a rather amusing and, for q
time, puzzling experience one evening during
the last week of the ran of The Widow Jones
at the Bijou Theater, New York. said Ramsey
Morris. the playwright, at the Occidental Ho-
tel last night.
:. On the occasion in question number of
bouquets had been thrown and passed over the
footllghts and the actress had them carried to
her dressing-room. While changing her cos
tunes between the acts she glanced at the
cards and notes that accompanied them. One
note, however, through being well pushed down
among the flowers, escaped her attention.
Meantime she had been chatting with young
lady, non-professional, who had called on

he labored, and the speculation is unworthy or

in life with no thonght to any footprints on

fitness over few things does or does not make
him ruler over many things, his life needs no
completion and no ID onument.

There is no keeping up with the "Ightning-
change Emperor" as the Kaiser is facetiously
termed in England AS soldier, orator, painter,
stage manager owner and wearer OF lo9 uni
forms, he is familiar to all of us. Still his Ma
jesty has "another forthcoming attraction IN
the language ofthe profession which he ahects.
The Kaiser,s every latest" is in the character
of esthehc dress promoter. He is very
anxious, it seems, to have his court as pictur-
esquelookinges possible, and to this end he has
given orders that a certain number of courtiers
shall attend state ceremonies in costumes
which shall be fac-similes of those worn by
Venetian Senators in the Middle Ages. The
Emperor's talent for stage management is as
serting itself in private life, and if he does not
tire of this latest whim the Prpssian court
promises to be the most picturesque in Europe.
