NOTE AND COMMENT.

One of the Trustees burst forth in a
blaze of eloquence the other night, say
ing, 'grhe newspapers don't run this
town. '"Tis true, 'tis pity and pity
tbs It's true" However, the newspa-
pers do not want to run the town. They
have never shown any disposition to do
So What they do wish is that good
ordinary, everyday ccmmonsense and
business wit shall run the town.

high water of the Feather River has
cleansed the water front of all rubbish
and filth, and now there is nothing to
make it disagreea.b1e again unless there
is a lot of stuff dumped in behind the
buildings
Yes, and that rubbish and filth" in a
few hours came on down to the suction
pipes which supply our people with
water for domestic purposes. En- route
it was joined by the filth output Of
Marysville, Fremont, Nicolaus,
Knights Landing, the dairy ranches on
the levees, the overthrow of the fishing
boats and house boats, and finally by
the filth from the Folsom State Prison
and the cast-off of Slater'S Addition.

them. Probably it is.

Irish's description of a fellow as

Another libel on the skunk.
The Stockton Mail" says: "It is
strange that none of the metropolitan
papers have as yet published descrip-
tions and pictures of the widow Dim
mick's lingerie. Is a brides underwear
less interesting when she happens to be
a widow? If we remember Alright the
papers had a good deal to say about
Mrs. Hamnersley's underciothing dur
ing the period between her engagement
and her marriage. True, the groom in
this case was a duke; but it seems to US
that an ex-President is some pumpkins,
too" Be patient, neighbor; have pa
tience; they will come to it yet. The
Paul Prys have not had time to over
haul Mrs. Dimmick's bureau drawers.
They will get there on schedule time.
The rumor is current on the streets,
and has been for several days, that a
combine in the Board of Trustees pro-
poses to bulldoze the new Mayor into
it's way of thinking and doing. There
is so much of this talk that it is possi-
bic there is something in it, and that
there is really an effort to effect a
compromise administration" What
that means all the city knows without
being told If there is a combine it
matters little, but it does matter a good
deal if the Mayor should fail to de-
velop backbone. The expressed hope
of all thinking people is that he has it
in plenty already, and that he will
stand straight up, even to leaning
backward if need be-

The question of the right or wrong

concern, but it would have been an
exceedingly embarrassing situation if

SUCCESS OF THE POPULAR LOAN.
We believe that the Record Union"
may claim to be the first paper in Cali
fornia to declare that the popular loan
of the Federal Government would be
taken promptly and in excess of the de-
mand. We believe that it was the first
paper in the State, or on the coast, to
say to the people that the loan was
wise and most desirable investment for
the savings of the poor. and men of
moderate means.
From that time to the last day Of the
period precedent to the opening of the
bids. the Record Union asseverated
its faith in the loan and in the capacity
and willingness of the people, indeed
their eagerness, to subscribe to it. The
outcome has verified the faith of this
journal. The loan has been subscribed
and between five and six times over,
and enough has been subscribed by in
dividuals and firms outside of banks
and syndicates to take the entire loan,
though the difference in premiums may
throw out many personal bids.
A very large percentage of the sub
scriptions, it should be borne in mind,
that were put in by banks represented
them as agencies for private subscrib
ers; indeed, it is probable that 40 per
aggregates of individual subscriptions.
In the city of Sacramento, for instance,
it is known that SO per cent. of the bank
bids were for individuals who used the
banks as convenient agencies.
The prices bid are gratifyingly large,
and the average is close to IL cents
premium. These facts constitute their
own commentary, and stand as a proud
monument to the faith of the people in
the credit of their nation and their abil-
ity and readiness to sustain it's finan-
cial arm without the necessity of appeal
to foreign lenders. 1t will be an object
lesson to European financiers and pol
iticians that will inspire among them
profounder respect for the American
nation, and will go long way to in
crease our strength among all nations
and insure the perpetuity of free insti-
tutions.
BY the way, the Record Union" was
the only paper in the State that pub
lished the complete list of bids made
for the loan to the hour Of the closing of
official business on Thursday.
