Action of the Chamber of Commerce
on Exhibits.

The Chamber of Commerce Commit
tee ON Mines and Mining held their
meeting yesterday. There were pres
ent L. L. Lewis (Chairman), r. T.
Devlin, Judge A c. Hinkson and NJ. ].
Curtis.
The request received from the Com
mittee on Exhibits-recommen that
exhibits of minerals be procured as soon
as possible and displayed in the Cham
Der of Commerce rooms-was adopted.
1t was decided that the committee
should make diligent efforts to obtain
samples of ores from all mines in active
operation within this territory.
In view of Sacramento's geographical
relations with the mining sections of
the State, it was decided that the COM
mittee would collect data and prepare
a report to be inserted ih a pamphlet
soon to be published by the chamber for
general distribution MeSSrs. Hinkson
Curtis and Gardner We're appointed a
committee to attend to the preparation
of this report.
AT a previous meeting of the Commit
tee on Exhibits, at which were present
Messrs. R. l. Bentley, ]. c. Ing. Jr., W.
M. Henderson and H. A. Fairbanks, it
was recommended that exhibits of all
the material resources of the county be
procured and placed ON exhibition
Mrs. Elizabeth Shields was elected an
associate member of the Committee on
County Exhibits.
The committee decided to extend a
general invitation to all citizens to con-
tribute articles Of merit for exhibition.
Green fruits should be sent to the Sac
ramento Packing and Drying Company,
marked Chamber Of Commerce -
Each package should contain a card
giving the name of the sender, with the
name and variety of the exhibit, in or
der that proper credit may be given.

The New York Tribune says that
the declaration at the washington
meeting of the Populists that tney
ewant the army" and that they want
the navy is indicative Of a desire to re-
move obstructions to revolutionary
schemes. The demand to which 1t re-
fers was made by one speaker, and one
only. It was probably a bit of bum
combe. and should count for no more
than that the Populists cut WIDE
swath of reform movements A
good many wild-eyed cranks have al
lied themselves to the party and some OF
the demands It makes are impractlca-
BILE and not sustainable in reason But
we are 6isinclined to believe that the
Populists as a body are unpatrlotlc OF
ppopose to rip up the institutions OF
free government. IF they should De
invested with power we apprehend they
would become far more conservative
than the utterances of their leaders and
platforms indicate them to be now.
However. this is no reason for permit
ting them to experiment with the reins
Of Government It would be unsafe TO
trust them to control the malcontents
and schemers who have attached them
selves TO the organization, or to attempt
to carry out their plans for running the
Government.

Rather a strange position is taken by
some of the Democrats who do not like
to support Mr.. Mckinley because of
his tariff views. nor Mr.. Bryan because
of his financial views. Yet these same
citizens have been vigorously declaring
that the tariff is not an issue In the
campaign. Just how they manage to
defend themselves under this state of
facts is puzzling. They do not like
protection; they do not want free COIN
age; they do not want Populism.

Government

The Atlanta Constitution" says that
protest against the arbitrary interfer-
ence of the Federal authority in local
affairs is an old Democratic principle.
Very true, but the declaration OF the
Chicago platform means such interfer-
ence as the President Of the United
States ordered at Chicago in 1884, and
there was no one in the Chicago Con-
vention who did not so understand II.
That the Federal Government should
interfere to protect the mails and their
transmission and to prevent the inter
ruption of interstate commerce and to
enforce the DEGREES Of the Federal
Courts is something that cannot be as
sailed by any American who has
proper conception of the powers and du-
ties of the Federal Government. The at
tempted revival of the old time States
rights doctrine by the Atlanta paper is
out Of tune with the hour

Wherever Malaria Exists.

The bilious are its certain prey In inter-
mittent and remittent fever, dumb ague
and ague cake, the liver is always seri-
ously affected. and the blood contami-
mated with bile. One of the chief reasons
why Hostetter'S Stomach Bitters is such
sure defense against chills and fever and
every form of maiarial disease is that If
does away with liability to the disease
by reforming irregularity Of the hillary
organ in advance of the arrival of the sea-
son when the disease is prevalent There
is no finer fortifying preparative for those
about visiting or emigrating to a locality
where the miasma taint exists. There is
no certain immunity from disease in an
endemic or epidemic form, to be secured by
the use of the average tonics and anti
spasmodics. But where qufnine fails the
Bitters succeeds both in preventing and
curing. Moreover. it removes every vest
ige Of dyspepsia, and overcomes constipa-
tion, rheumatism, inactivity of the kid
neys and bladder, and tranquillizes and
strengthens the nervous system.

The real cause for the depression felt
by grain growing farmers is not refera-
BILE to purely local causes, ana least Oh
all to the financial policy of the country.
The truth is that our farm or products
have been brought into competition
with the cheap labor of Indian fields,
Argentine farms and Russian grain
growing. It is all well enough for poll
ticlans to point to the financial policy of
the United States and attribute to 1t
whatever Of distress is felt by produc-
ers, but they know, or ought TO know,
that the real reason for the low prices of
products lies farther away.

much the largest. All the drainage of

the sewers of the cross streets, Third,
Fifth, Seventh, ETC., clear from the east
levee, viii be led by pipe extensions di-
rectly to the new trunk drain on
street, and at the lower end OF the lat
ter sump will receive the waters, from
which a pumping plant will discharge
them into the river.
We ascertain that there will be saving
Of some so per cent. of resistance under
this, an economy of great moment; that
the new outfall will take all the waters
that feed into the sewers ana enapie
them to be handled, so that there will
be no more flooding of streets and base
ments by reason of choked outfalls
We find that this plan will not pre-
vent the abandonment of the cesspool
system and the collection and discharge
of sewage under a proper and COM
prehensive system; that, indeed, the s.
street drain will directly and materially
advance the whole scheme or oouple
system, such as the City Board OF
Health approves, and that this paper
has advocated.
Under these conditions, the pressing
necessity that is upon the city and the
damage that will assuredly result to
property interests and the liability OF
taxpayers to answer IN damages from
failure to provide for discharge OF the
drainage waters the coming Winter, the
Record Union advises the adoption OF
the plan submitted by the Trustees, with
the understanding, however, that so far
as this paper is concerned it Will insist
upon attention being Immediately gwen
to the disposal of sewage, ana 10 some
means of securing abandonment OF the
cesspools that are poisoning the unoer-
living soil Of the city.

FAST BICYCLE RIDING.
Great Sport Promised at the Crescent
Park Racing Track,

The fast pace set at the auspicous open
ing OF the new quarter-mile cycle track
ct Crescent Park is to be maintained
throughout the season, and a series of
events will follow, which will be worthy
of what IS universally conceded 10 be one
of the faste,t and finest tracks in the
country. The program for the entire sea-
son has not yet been completed, but ii
can safely pe said that the very bost popu-
lar sport will be provided, and ell the
races to be arranged and prizes offered
will attract some OF the most famous
riders in the country.
The next events on this track will ne
held on Saturday afternoon, June 13, at
which time Horace b. Hills, the present
State champion, winner of the first time
prize at the recent East Providence race
and winner of the quarter cham
pionship ut Crescent Park on Memorial
Day, will attempt to establish new state
record for the best mile. 4 he present
record Is 2:14S,, and Mr.. Hills, who is now
putting in some haru wori, on the rev
track preparing for what he intends shall
be the greatest effort he has yet made.
confidently expects to place the record
below 2:1O.
The other features of June 13 will be a
one mile open contest and a half mile
open race for which handsome prizes will
be given. 1t is expected that these two
events Will attract some OF the best riders
in this State and also some from Massa-
chusetts.
Bicycle racing son track OF this kind
is n novelty in these parts, and its great
fascination Is unknown to. those who have
never seen races on these scientifically
built tracks; and 1t is pretty safe to pre-
oict that before the season is over; as the
public become familiar with the exciting
and fascinating character OF this sport,
