Resolutions Adopted by the Repub-

on Friday.

spirited meeting of the Placerville
Republican Club was held on Friday
evening. After disposing of some
routine matters and listening to
speeches by George Green and George
Jones, the latter of Fresno, Mr.. Robert
son vacated the chair and offered the
following resolutions:
Whereas, The Second Congressional
District delegates in convention assem-
bled at Sacramento on Wednesday.
August 18th, did wisely nominate Grove
l.. Johnson as the Republican candi-
date for Congress from this district,
and
Whereas, He has undeniably done
good work in the halls of Congress in
behalf of the people of this district dur
ing his first term, and
Whereas, He has shown himself in
his action with reference to the mineral
lands bill to be the stanch and faith
full friend of the miners of this dictrict
and
Whereas, He has by his untiring eff
forts in behalf of his constituency,
aided by an ability second to none that
has ever been sent from this district
before him, secured valuable appropri-
ations for this district in the face of
difficulties almost insurmountable, be il
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Republican Club Of Placerville here
assembled in regular meeting, do heart
| lily indorse the action of the convention
in giving Grove l. Johnson the nomi-
| nation by acclamation, and be IL
Resolved, That it is the opinion OF
this club that he will prove an able rep
resentative of this district for another
| term, and be it
| Resolved, That we believe that
sending him to Washington again
will be a wise act for the miners of this
district, and be it
Resolved, That we will give him our
| full, hearty and entire support to the
end that he may cornplete the work he
has SO ably begun
| The Nugget" in it's report of the
meeting, says:
! Mr.. Robertson said that in his opin-
| ion the Second District Congressional
| Convention had done well and was de-
| serving of the thanks of the Republi-
cans of the district and especially of
| the miners, and added that he did not
| doubt that Grove l.. Johnson would re-
ceive the hearty support of all good
Republicans. He moved the adoption
of the resolutions. j. T. Walling Sec

RIVER ORCHARDS.
They Are Not Nearly Bereft of Their
Crops of Fruit.

The steamer Modoc came UP yester-
day with a light shipment Of fruit from
river points. That coming up now is
almost exclusively for the cannery.
Replying to a remark to the effect that
the river fruit orchards were about
cleaned up, Captain Fouratt said:
People are very much mistaken in
the opinion that there is no more fruit
on the river. There are tons on tons of
it, and it is first-class fruit, too. 1t is
true the Sacramento and Eastern ship
ments are light, but there is an i'm
mense amount of fruit going to San
Francisco.
Formerly the pumpkin boats, as
they are called, carried almost all of
the fruit going to San Francisco, but
this year the orchardistS have been
obliged to call on us to help them out
On our last trip down we were loaded
to the decks with fruit. One reason for
these shipments is that the fruit is
very ripe, and will not stand long ship
ments. Most of it is being used by can
ners and in supplying the San Fran
cisco markets. / noticed choice
peaches in the market selling at from
ten to fifteen cents per basket.
Another reason for accumulation,
said Captain Fouratt, 81 attribute to
the fact that people were deceived in
the river peach crop. The word went
out from the river orchards last spring
that the peach crop was short. 1t nat
urally followed that shippers and cam
ners sought other fields, and now the
river people find themselves with a
crop which had not been anticipated.
True, the crop was light, but this i'm
proved the quality, and this and the
large increased acreage brought it to
about that of other seasons. We expect
heavy work in fruit for some time yet"
Being asked as to the river, Captain
Fouratt said it is in very fair condi-
tion. The railroad company is having
no trouble at all in handling it's steam
ers. The jetties erected for the i'm
provement of the river have been a
great success, though he confessed he
believed they would fail of their pur-
pose. What is wanted is efficient work
on the upper Sacramento. If that were
handled properly the lower part of the
river, with leveeing and jettying, would
soon scour out it's bottom and leave it
! in good condition for navigation.

Editor Representative: Being In arrears,
I accept your invitation to pay up; ana, IN
order to get the most benefit out OF my
space to thank A. D. Stewart for his prop
Csition to reformerS in regard to commit
ting those placed as candidates for otflce TO
a reasonable reduction Of salaries l nave
but one fault to find with Mr.. Stewart Qf 1t
can be so called; and that Is his extreme
modesty in proposing to reduce county sal
aries only. If, as he truly says. the salaries
of county officers are unnecessarily nign as
compared to an average income OF their en-
ployers or as compared to private salaries
requiring equal ability, does not said in
equality and consequent injustice become
to state capitol with all Its branches; and
from the state capitol to the national cap
itol. with all it's branches? Why ask those
receiving the least public pay ana DONG
most toward earning it to submit to a re-
duction first of all? OF course, inside county
lines only, and without reference to any
party, Mr. Stewards idea is good; but, with
a direct reference to the Peoples Party, be
comes right able to properly and honestly
extend the proposition to all OF the candl-
I am only afraid friend Stewart will not
be able to commit even the Populist party
to the least Of such reform. Mrs. Mary
Leese said, at Dodge Center on the third Of
the month, in her speech, that If we could
elect men fit to deal with our financial al
fairs those men could be safely trusted to
deal with any and all important questions.
1 would amend by saying, any man honest
enough to begin reform at his own pocket
as an office-getter, is the safest man to deal
with finances These not the times to
trv mems souls, but their honesty and sin
cerity. Reform, like charity. If 1t begins at
ALL must begin at home, politically at the

SHORT STEPS IN SOCIALISM.

There are great many things in which
it wall pay us to take lessons from the
old world The city of Amsterdam owns
its own telephone service, and next year
will take possession of its gas works, and
soon after it's street car lines. Public
ownership of the things the general pub
lie use is the only rational course. 1t is
socialism, of course, as far. as it goes; but
the same is true of our own public streets
and walks, and bridges; our court houses
and jails; our city halls and school build
irgs. Working together we can do some
things better than working separately.
To work together and depend on associa-
ton rather than competition for things
we need, is socialism. We are all social
lists to certain extent. The only differ
ence is that some Of us want to stop be-
ing social good deal short of what 9TH
ers do. We who are not afraid nor
ashamed to be called socialists believe
that human society is growing and must
grow if it is to endure. Having grown
up into the socialistic institutions we
now enjoy, it seems to US certain that
