STAND BY YOUR HOMES.
Who Are the Friends of Sacrament
Now?
(From the Sunday Newso

F'rom the Sunday News)
We do not feel that there ought to be
any need or an appeal to the people Of
sacramento to vote for Grove l.. John
son. But, strange as 1T may appear,
there are some people in this town who
always get their hammers out when
ever proposition for Sacramento by a
Sacramentan comes forward. If Grove
L. Johnson lived in Los Angeles or
stockton or San Jose or any other town
and sought the suffrages Of the people
as a candidate for Congress the people
would rise almost to a man to elect
him. If his candidacy rested upon the
peculiar conditions that exist in Sacra-
mento at this time it would be regarded
as test OF loyalty to the home COM
mIn1ty when it came to voting for Con-
gressman, and Mr.. Johnson would re-
ceive such an enormous majority as
"ouio olshearten opponents from with
CUT. ana lnere is no more wholesome
puo1c sentiment than that which sticks
" the nome place and stands up for
the nome interests against all comers
Inc peculiar conditions attending the
contest for Congressman in this district
make doubly binding the responsibility
that rests upon the voters of Sac
ramenfo A determined effort is being
made to force the Central Pacific Rail-
road out Of the hands Of it's present
owners by foreclosing its debt to the
Government That means the newt
able loss Of the great railroad shops to
sacramento, for it is as certain as the
rising Of the sun that there will be
general breaking up when the Southern
Pacific owned by Huntington and his
partners undertakes to do it's work in
the shops here along with the work Of
the Central Pacific, which will be owned
by the Government or someone else.
Does anybody believe that the two
rival corporations will even attempt to
do their work together? Is there any
instance on earth where rival railroads
thus dwell together in harmony?
Mr.. De Vries. Democratic nominee for
Congress, openly and distinctly declares
IN favor Of seizing and selling the Cen
trail Pacific. Mr.. Johnson Just as
openly and distinctly avows himself in
favor Of extending the Government
debt, funding it just as every large
debt Of the kind is funded and refund
ed, Just as a man renews the note that
he finds himself temporarily unable to
pay. Who is the friend Of Sacramento
in this case?
We do not say that we blame Mr..
De Vries for his course IN advocating
measure that will drive the railroad
shops from Sacramento. In the event
| Of that contamination no doubt his
home town of Stockton would make
strenuous effort to get some Of the big
shops there. But how are the people
of Sacramento going to look at this
question?
But we believe that the local pride of
Sacramento and the devotion Of its
people to their homes and their per-
sonal interests will be asserted on No
vember Sd, and that Grove L. Johnson
will go out Of Sacramento with the
greatest majority ever given to a can
didafn III.

1t was a question of Jurisdiction. The
city members of the Board of Super
visors had been liberal toward the
county, and he would dislike to vote
against anything for the benefit of the
city. He would like to have the mat
ter submitted to the District Attorney
fer his opinion.
Mr.. Morrison thought there was no
question as to the power Of the board
TO contribute toward the expense of the
work. 1t is true the understanding was
that the city was to, take care OF the
canal, but the City Board Of Trustees
changes from time to time, and unfor-
tunately no provision had been made
for the work The water complained Of
comes from outside the city and should
be taken care of, and he was satisfied
the District Attorney would indorse the
action of the board in contributing to
the care of the canal
MI jenkins was still opposed to the
proposed action, and the discussion was
resumed and continued for some time,
going over the whole ground again.
Finally the roll was called on Chair
man Morrison's motion, and it was
adopted, Mr.. Jenkins voting no.

"Third Parties Fall"

Eds. Record Union: Knowing of
your desire to deal only in facts and to
correct errors, originate wherever they
may, allow me to say that the article
under the above heading copied into
your Sundays issue from the Washing
ton Post" contained not only one mis-
statement, but there were also several
important omissions, among which lat
ter was the fact Of the election by the
American, or so-called Know Nothing
party, of Henry j. Gardner as Governor
of Massachusetts, while the POST is
in error in stating that the American
Protective Association had a distinct
Presidential candidate (Curtis) in the
field in 1885, as the latter was noplinat-
ed by the various older patriotic orders
and Americans generally under the
name of the American party, which held
it's national convention in Washington
City and nominated Curtis; and, of
course, few, If any, OF the delegates
from California, as well as perhaps
from some other States, had ever heard
of the A. P. A, as the latter was origin
ally organized by Henry +. Bowers of
Clinton Ia, in his Office at that place on
March 13. 1887, and in this case seven
being the mystic number. The Organi-
zation did not increase sufficiently
rapid in those few months to make it
self generally known in the political
field at that date, much less hold a ma
tional convention to nominate a candi-
date for President, although 1t may be
possible that the order may have had
one or more delegates at that conven-
ton. In connection with the foregoing
it may be of interest to the reader to
know that Mr.. Bowers, who is a native
American, and was the first Supreme
President of the order, scouts the idea
so often advanced that 1t Is a Canadian
institution, or emanated from the
Orange order, or was suggested or put
on foot by the British Government, or
fostered and directed by American cor
porations and capital. II.

TIE CANAL RUNS UPHILL.
That on Thirty-First Street is to be
Improved.
The Supervisors Willing to Pay a
Portion of the Expense if the
City Stands In.

L. T. Hatfield appeared before the
Board of Supervisors yesterday and
called attention to the bad condition
Of the Thirty-first street canal, which
is not the proper grade and has also
been clogged by refuse matter dumped
into It until it has failed to carry OF
the water from Burns Slough, to drain
which it was constructed. The result
is that there Is every summer stag
nant water in the canal that runs
through East Park.
Mr.. Hatfield said the water all comes
from outside the city and he believed
it to be the duty Of the county to
have the canal placed In proper condi-
ton, or at least to pay one-ha1f the
expense. The City Trustees are dis
posed to do their share in the matter.
The whole work would cost about
$1,000.
City Trustee Mckay spoke to the
same effect, saying that the city would
probably pay one-half the expense. 1t
is very important that the canal should
be kept open.
Chairman Morrison reviewed the his
tory of the canal and what had been
done by the county and city. For him
self, he would be willing for the county
to pay two-fifths of the expense. The
city could pay a like proportion, and
the East Park Association might stand
one-fifth. The cut in the southern part
Of the city is not deep enough, and
the water is backed up clear to East
Park
Supervisor Curtis said the canal was
an advantage to East Park, and he
was in favor Of the county standing a
pc rtion of the expense Of putting the
canal in good shape.
Mr.. Morrison said that If the City
Trustees would prepare plans for the
work and advertise for bids for the
work he would be willing to make a
motion for the county to stand two
fifths Of the expense.
Mr.. Mckay thought the county should
pay one-half the expense. as the water
comes from outside the city.
Mr.. Morrison held that as the city
is more interested in the matter than
the county it should bear more than
one half the cost.
Supervisor Jenkins said the canal was
constructed for the benefit Of the city,
and the county has no jurisdiction over
it. The people of the city, who are
benefited by it, should care for the ca
nal themselves, and he was opposed to
the county bearing any portion of the
expense of placing it in proper condi-
ton
City Trustee Devine said his county
taxes are more than his city taxes, and
the county should not refuse to stand
in and bear a part of the expense The
city funds are very low and probably
nothing could be done this winter, but
provision should be made for having II
done at least as early as next spring.
Supervisor Todd thought that what
benefited the city is also benefit to
the county, and vice versa The city
has been very liberal In standing ex-
pense for the benefit of the county, and
the county should be equally liberal.
Supervisor brennan spoke to the same
effect, but Mr.. Jenkins maintained thai

SAN DIEGO HARBOR.
The Commissioners Have Filed Their
Biennial Report.

The report Of the Board Of State
Harbor Commissioners for the bay of San
Diego is now on file with the State
Board Of Examiners, and shows that
receipts and disbursements for and dur
ing the past two years have been $164.
The report relates that nearly all the
tide lands adjacent to the bay Of San
Diego over which the board is supposed
to exercise control, is claimed by pri-
vate parties. The property is rapidly
increasing in value, and each year new
complications arise from disputed own
ership. A decision of the Supreme
Court is anxiously awaited by the board,
and it is hoped the same will be made
before the convening Of the next Legis-
lature.

up into the thousands, and none of
them were small. In every instance the
response was, "The offer is good. The
security is now first class. The oppor-
tunity is a desirable one. The money Is
plentiful for the purpose desired, but
the matter cannot have consideration
until after election. If the result is to
restore confidence the deal can be
made" In no one Of these cases Is the
party or institution refusing actuated
by any partisan spirit. 1t is in every
case a cold business matter viewed from
the prudent business ground. Why this
distrust? Why is business partially par
alyzed? Why has investment ceased?
Why are men refusing to enter upon
new and inviting transactions? Has
any proposition ever advanced by the
Republican party occasioned such
alarm, timidfty or cowardice? Is there
anyone predicting a panic or any busi-
ness disaster if the Republican party
wins, as it will, on the Sd of November?
now and stops the healthful flow OF
business blood in the veins of COM
merce? Why are enterprises trembling
that ought to be secure, strong and
vigorous? It is all to be accounted for
by the threat of the Bryanites. The
business world is menaced by Bryan
ism; the confidence Of the investors and
promoters Of workers and inventors, Of
employers and employees, has been
shaken by the fear Of hard and strin-
gent times should Organism win.
The story is repeated that Judge Cat
lin released Black the diamond robber,
on insufficient bail This Is not true. as
has been shown in these columns. The
bond was not fixed, and seldom ever is
in criminal cases by the court. 1t Is
what the District Attorney desires 1t to
be. In the Black case the District At
torney determined the amount OF the
bond. The more Judge Catlin Is as
sailed by our evening contemporary the
more certain is his election made. The
people know Judge Catlin to be honest,
capable in the highest degree, equal to
the duties of the office he fills. Of un-
oestioned integrity and untiring devo-
ton to duty They have tried him In
many official positions, and he has never
been found wanting. The people Will
settle the matter at the polls, and set
tie it in favor Of the tried and capable
iurist and honest man, A. P. Catlin.
Sixteen to one" is not the only
means Of attaining the end Of plentiful
silver money. Let the Government
coin all the silver it now owns and
NAV purchase, and make all our silver
coinage legal tender to the amount OF
$50. Stop coinage Of gold or issue OF
paper based on gold in denominations
below $50. Issue for convenience sill
yer note for $40 Thus we VIII put
silver into plentiful circulation for do
mestic uses, retain gold for exchange
and foreign purchases, and not drive
it out of the country, create panic
nor will H debase our currency. The
plan Is feasible, and pending interna-
tional agreement will effect all that the
people desire regarding the currency.
The Republican party is not bound by
its platform to any policy at cross pur-
poses with this plan.
