THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Now Said To Be Complete, Except the
Cuban Matter.

OuDAn matCors
Washington, Dec. 2.-With one ex-
ception, it is said, the message which
the president will send to congress
next week is completed. The exception
is most important, for it concerns the
treatment of the Cuban question. In
the natural order of things this sub
ject, coming under the head of foreign
relations, would occupy most promi-
nent place in the beginning of the mes
sage, and SO might be expected to re-
ceive early treatment at the hands of
the president. There is still gap in
that part of the message, however, al
though, it is reported, that several
efforts have been made to close it up,
for the varying phases of the campaign
now in progress in Cuba have made
1T necessary to change considerably the
views the president and Secretary
Olney desire to lay before congress in
that connection, and probably it will
not be until the end of this week, and
at the very last moment, that the miss
ing paragraphs will be supplied. OF
course any expression of opinion as to
the nature of the presidents views re-
specting Cuba are only speculative at
present, but so far there can be found
no warrant for the assumption that he
has determined upon any decided
change in the policy to be pursued by
the administration in this matter.

AN OMISSION.
The Poem Read at the Reception to

In the report of the literary exercises
at the reception given to Bishop Grace
on Thursday evening the fact was
omitted, through an oversight. that one
Of the most pleasing features of the
programme was the poem Gods Will
Be Done" which was written for the
occasion by Matt Clarken of Benicia,
and read by his little daughter, Alice
Audry Clarken. The young miss dis
played rare Evolutionary ability and
training, and won the hearty applause
of the audience and the special thanks
Of the Bishop.
A feature Of this part Of the exercises
was that after having delivered the
poem the young lady advanced, and
kneeling before Bishop Grace, presented
to him the original verses beautifully
engraved on parchment, with the title
page artistically lettered and embossed.
In the several accounts given of the
conservation ceremony of Rt. Rev. Bish-
op Grace, the fact was omitted that Rev.
F. c. Yorke was present at the Cathe-
dral and took a prominent part in the
ceremony. By special appointment he
was delegated to read the Apostolic
mandate issued by the Pope appointing

4 COLLAPSED CASE.

The Assessor of San Francisco as
sessed property of street railway COM
panies at its value, according to the
best of his judgment, information and
belief. This valuation not being to the
liking of certain busybodies who pro-
pose to run public business for those
elected for the purpose, the Assessor
was arrested upon a charge of perjury
promoted by Andy Clunie, and long
and sensational examination was en-
tered upon before a Superior Judge,
sitting as a committing magistrate.
During the hearing the sensational
press of San Francisco, under the lead
ership of the Examiner" spared no
pains to impress the reading public
with the idea that a monstrous wrong
had been done, and that the Assessor
had committed the grayest Of felonies.
II was under this examination that
great deal of abusive sensational and
scandalous matter was published. Now
comes the magistrate, Judge Wallace,
over whom the Examiner" and its
tenders could not sufficiently slobber
in fulsome adulafion and sycophant ap-
proval. and dismisses the charges
against the Assessor for the exceeding

BOLD BREAK FOR LIBERTY.
". C. Hardie Rushed From the County
Jail.
The Deputies Were "0nto' His Trick,
and Conran's Pistol Made
Him Surrender.

W. c. Hardie, County Jail prisoner,
nearly had the life scared out OF
him yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Ira
Conran. He and a man named Robin
are serving a six months sentence for
vagrancy They are the pestiferous
youths who We're arrested last spring
for bringing a couple Cf girls here from
Suisun and placing them in a house of
ill-fame.
One of the deputies noticed yesterday
that Hardie had changed his striped
uniform for a white undershirt and a
pair of common overalls, and suspected
that he intended to make a break for
liberty as soon as an opportunity Of
fered. The other deputies We're Informed
of Hardie's supposed intention.
Mcdonald and Stegernan We're guard
ing the open gate leading from the alley
into the rockplie yard, and when Conran
and Schwilke had taken up their position
in the alley in the rear of the Jail, Nc
Donald left the gate in charge of Siege
man, but hid himself where he could
watch Hardie.
1t was not the intention to let the lat
ter get out, but when he thought he
saw a possible chance he took it and
succeeded in getting by Stegeman.
Then it was, however, that Hardie's
real trouble began. He had no sooner
emerged from the gate than Conran
sprang for him. Hardie eluded the
deputy and sprang into vacant lot
across the alley, with Conran at his
heels. The latter called on him to stop,
and as the fugitive paid no heed to the
call Conran fired a shot from his pistol
across the fellows bows, as it were.
Hardie dropped, threw himself on his
back, stuck his legs and arms into the
air and begged Conran not to kill him.
The deputy took pity on him, spared his
life and marched him back into the
Jail. AS Hardie was turned over to
Jailer Beckley he turned ito Conran and
said: ''Iu get even with you, young
feller, when I get out"
The report of the pistol startled the
prisoners in the Jail, and when Hardie
told them how Conran came near kill
ing him, each one congratulated him
self on the fact that he hadn't taken
any chances on his life.

be held and ought to be punished, that
the prosecution had not shown by
scintilla of evidence that the Assessor
was guilty Of any wrong. That all the
testimony Andy Clunie had produced
as "the friend of the public" had not
contained single suggestion that the
Assessor had committed perjury or had
been prompted by an impure or wrong
motive in assessing the property.
Secondly, and it is of high Importance,
the magistrate is driven to the cOnclu-
sion that the Office of Assessor is quasi
judicial. He must hear and determine;
he acts therefore as every Judge must
act, according to the best of his abil-
ity, information and belief Fixing
value on such basis is not, therefore,
distinguishable from the act Of a Judge
In arriving at a judgment on similar
basis. Both exercise the judicial power,
and unless it is shown that they have
been bribed to find the judgment they
reach, a personal responsibility cannot
attach for the Judgment arrived at.
In short, the magistrate dismisses
the whole matter with perfect clear
ance of the Assessor, not only as to the
facts brought out, but upon the prop
osition of law we have referred to. The
case is worthy of thus much of refer
ence, because such publicity has been
given by the sensational press to the
charges and proceedings against the
unbelief in the honesty of any man,
there should be done what may be to
counteract the effects of unsustained
charges and unwarranted accusations
against public officials.

From the 4th to the 7th of July there
is to be historical celebration at the
old Capital, Monterey, to commemorate
the first raising of the American flag on
this coast, which feat was performed by
Commodore Sloat. It is a proper thing
to celebrate that event It is a patriotic
thing to do it, and will have teaching
effect upon our youth. The Monterey
people ask that each county will send
a chosen daughter as one of the God
desses" Of the celebration, and each
county is asked also to contribute a
stone to the Sloat mon ument, the corner
stone of which will be laid during the
celebration. We are not aware that
any steps have been taken as yet to Sc
lect a representative goddess for Sac
ramento County. The time is growing
short; for the young lady must have
time to prepare. The present Capital
OF the State cannot afford to ignore
the request Of the people of the old Cap
ital. We suggest that the Native Sons
acted, select the Sacramento represen-
tative, and that they raise the means
necessary to send the young lady on
under proper escort, and to maintain her
at Monterey in proper state. 1t is sug-
gssted also that the Supervisors select
and order stone for the monument.
OF course it should be of granite from
will be contributed, If not it will cost
but little, while for its proper cutting
the Supervisors may well provide; but
If there is legal obstacle to that they can
request the Pioneers to take the matter
in hand. But whatever is done should

THE SENATE COMMITTEE REPORT.

In this issue Of the Record Union"
there is printed in full the report of the
Senate Committee on Pacific Railroads
concerning the matter of the adjust
ment of the Indebtedness of those cor
porations. The report is brief, concise
in its expressions, clear and unimpeach-
able in its business logic, and is fraught
with interest to those who would un-
derstand the railroad debt question.
The report recites the legislation un-
der which the Pacific Railroads were
aided as post and military roads and
the details concerning the application
Of the earnings for services rendered
the Government, as also proportion
OF the net earnings. The report shows
that the sums realized for the subsidy
bonds were in deprecated currency,
not in gold or coin. At times during
their sale gold was over lao, while the
Government had been recently issuing
bonds bearing 1.3 per cent. per annu1n
greater interest than the subsidy bonds
bore.
interest on the subsidy bonds the ques-
ton arose whether the companies should
not reimburse the Government current
ly for this payment, but the Supreme
Court held that nothing beyond the
half OF the compensation for service
rendered and per cent. of the net
earnings was payable until the ma
turity of the bonds. Then followed the
Thurman Act, providing for the reten-
ton of the whole Of the compensation
for Government service and in addi-
ton the payment OF % per cent Of the
net earnings. The provisions of this
Act, it is shown, have always been
fully complied with, a fact that is per-
fectly well known to the anti-railroad
demagogues, who weary not in declaring
TO the people that the roads have not
fulfilled their obligations The sinking
fund never met expectation, for rea-
sons fully set forth in the report, but
for no causes whatever chargeable to
the companies.
The committee gives in detail the
condition of the bond and interest ac-
counts and the condition Of the sink
ing fund, and then says that there were
presented to it but three ways for the
adjustment OF the railroad indebted
ness, namely, acquisition of the roads
by Government, foreclosure of the
Governments lien and lastly extension
of the debt due the Government.
AS to proposed acquisition of the
roads the committee analyzes the
scheme by which private enterprise
was enlisted in the construction The
Government had a clear purpose in urg-
ing the building of the lines. It's rea-
CONS were rather underestimated than
exaggerated 1t imposed on the roads

acted certain obligations as consider

MCKINLEY AND THE PARTY.

The Republican party has put forward

the essentially necessary candidate,
who stands forward more singly and
strongly for the protective principle,
nationally not radically and Historically
applied, than any other possible can
didate. Now let Republicans and the
friends of free American labor, untram-
meled by unequal competition with the
output of foreign industry, stand for

dom of the party in representative as
