A SCHEME TO BE DEFEATED.

California took q long step in advance
when it resolved to inquire systemat-
icplly into the output of the counties
fol road purposes. with view to ascer-
tanning where economy can be con-
served and a better road system estab
lished The State also took another
long stride forward when it resolved to
utilize idle material and labor sup
ported at the expense of the people, and
prepare road metal from the trap
rock Quarries in the prison grounds at
Folsom, the metal to be furnished at
cost of production, exclusive Of the Ia
Dor of prisoners, with sufficient percent
age added to pay the State IN a few
years the small capital advanced for
the setting up of the plant.
This plan in no wise conf1icted with
free labor, but rather set in motion
improvements that gave free labor en-
ployrnent It would not otherwise get
But 1t did conflict with the large gains
of private rock-crushing plants. The
proprietors of some of these plants are
now engaged In formulating a scheme
to close down the Folsom plant, or If
that cannot be accomplished, to pre-
vent any of its output being purchased
ter use on the streets Of towns and
cities.
The matter planned Is to h brought
before the Legislature. and already
the agents for its accomplishment are
abroad among the candidates Offering
trades, where that can be done, and
threatening opposition to other meas
ures of public interest If the legislator
cnnoses the new scheme to throw away
the $50. 900 invested in the plant This
temptation The "Record-Union"
called attention TO IT late last spring
and again in the summer, and warned
the people what was on foot The plan
has now so far progressed that the
scbemers are encouraged to look for
ward to success.
The Folsom rock-crushing plant is
conducted without a cent of cost to
taxpayers. The sum advanced to es-
tablish 1t Is being repaid as contem-
Mated by the Act OF establishment
The convicts employed upon it are
through its agency made to labor where
otherwise they would be idly eating the

THE JUDICIARY,

Let there be a rally Of the friends of
honesty. fair play and decency to the
standard Of Judge Catlin to-day. The
jurist for whom the Republican party
asks your support is citizen of pioneer
standing, of irreproachable character,
of eminent attachments as a Jurist, Of
indomitable courage, and untiring In
dustry.
Do not run away with the idea that
because Judge Catlin Is certain to be
elected, therefore you can afford to give
your vote elsewhere. II many should do
that, It would work his defeat. Stand

VINDICATE OUR FIRST BY OUR
SECOND.

"A people that has tried legislator in
congress and found him efficient, loyal
to their interests, capable, progressive
and courageous, should not turn him
ooWn and withdraw him from service
without some express and Weighty rea-
sons for doing so.
1t Is known to every one that a first
termer in Congress has little if any in
Huence. He is a new conner who is
SIMPLY tolerated because he must be.
IN that great body, the lower house, he
must be content to listen, learn and
vote Beyond that he cannot expect to
advance, unless he is a man of re-
markable powers and broad legislative
experience.
How Is it with Sacramento's Repre-
sentatiTe-the first she has ever had?
How is 1t on the record with him? He
broke the ice from the start. By force
OF his courage and genius he gained the
attention Of that great leg; slative body,
won recognition and was placed upon
important committees. He introduced
bold but needed measures, and secured
what first-termer rarely does, hear
Ing for them. His experience, oratorical
ability and parliamentary knowledge,
coupled with his courage, pertinacity
and devotion to duty put him into an
enviable position very seldom occupied
by new man.
Now it is proposed by the opposition
that such man shall be retired, and
that wholly inexperienced man shall
be put in his place, one who has held no
legislative office, has had little if any
experience in public life, who knows
very little, if anything, about the dis
tr1ct its needs and the troubles through
which 1T is passing. Is it wise? Is it
safe to make such change?
Let voters, no matter what their poll
tics, reflect upon it, is it wise to change
ut this juncture? Is 1t not common pru
dence to retain the man we have, and
enable him to carry out to success the
measures he has put before Congress
In the common interest?
Mr.. Johnson should be returned to
complete the collection Of that $4 ,000,-
600 due US from the National Govern
ment; he should be sent back to push for
ward that important amendment to the
immigration laws. He should be re-
turned to see to it that the River Com
mission he had erected is not knocked
down by the new Congress, a commits
sion from which we all hope so much
for the Feather, Yuba, Sacramento and
San Joaquin Rivers.
He should be sent back to do battle
for district and State interests gen.
orally and to aid in sustaining Presi
dent Mckinley in giving US protective
laws for American workers and manu-
factures.
Let voters rise to full conception of the
Importance OF keeping Congress Repub-
hcan under a Republican administra-
ton, which the next surely will be. Let
US lay aside any and all prejudices, dis
likes and likes, and send back the man
who has proved so faithful servant,
and for which doing he has been made
the target of scurrility and abuse, and
mendacious charges and statements Of
the most extravagant and outrageous
character. Let us vindicate the wisdom
of our first choice by making it our sec

want 1t made the law that If your prop

assailed, you may not petition the courts
to interpose the arm of the law to re-

LEMARS, Ia, April Especial Tcle-
gram.)-El Kabir shrine Of Cedar Rapids,
mobiles Of the Mystic Shrine, is holding a
very successful meeting here tonight. A
class OF about forty will walk the sands.
The town is ablaze with fireworks, The
features of the parade were two Roman
chariots and three bands, including the cele-
brated Arabian band. a ghost wagon with n
mule steed, with skeleton exposed by the
cathode rays. and twenty special characters In
costumec, besides a camel and cages of an
imals. 1lustrious Potentate George w.
Beaver Is present to conduct the work. Ell
Kabir's meeting at Lemars was first called
for April 8, but Sioux City afterward secured
Kaaba temple of Davenport to hold a meet
ing at Sioux City two days earlier, April Z.
Most Of the smaller towns sided in with
Lemars in this unequal contest with a larger
city, and FL Kabir's date was changed to
April 6, one day ahead Of the Sioux City
meeting. 1t has been a hard hustle, but El
Kabir and Lemars are now jubilant over the
great success of the meeting. A banquet
will be spread for over 200 tonight by the
ladies of the Eastern Star. Kaaba temple
will doubtless have a successful meeting at
Sioux City tomorrow night.

representing over $1,000 worth of stock,
asking the court to appoint receivers for the

an injunction restraining the present COM
consumers or the city; also asking for an
accounting of all the moneys from rents and
every source previously collected by the
present company and for a decree setting
aside every conveyance, mortgage or trans
fer made by the company since the dis
solution of the American Water Works com
pany. The complaint directly charges Will

The Board Of Supervisors yesterday in
structed the county attorney to confess judg-
ment in the action brought by Henry Wiese
and others against the Board of Supervisors.
In this action the property owners of Avoca
sought a reduction of the assessment of a
large amount OF property from the figures
placed by the Board of Supervisors. When
the assessments were returned it was found
that the agricultural lands in the townships
in which other towns of the county were
situated were assessed at a much higher rate
than were the farm lands lying in the
township around Avoca. The supervisors &C
cordingly raised the valuation about 200 per
cent, and the property owners brought the
suit to have the assessment reduced. An
examination of the books showed that in
the other townships certain lands had been
assessed at a high rate as farms lands, when
they should have been assessed as town
property. This brought the average below the
assessment of the Ayoca lands and led the
supervisors to make the increase. When the
matter was finally explained and understood
there was no objection to the reduction asked
in the suit brought by the property owners.

In the district court yesterday a motion
for a continuance in the case of Imports
against Oberholzer was overruled by the
court as insufficient and the case then con-
tinued by the court on its own motion. This
case has been making history rapidly in
the courts and has run all the changes.
Judge Smith was once interested as attor-
ney for one of the parties, and that fact
was made a ground for continuance of the
present action at one stage of the game
by one of the attorneys. Now when that
attorney is anxious to get to trial the Judge
Of his own motion refuses to take up the
trial. and the attorney took an exception
to the courts ruling. The case has been
down to the supreme court and back so
often that 1t is familiar to every judge
on the bench and is about as far from being
settled as 1t was several years ago, when
