JORDAN'S POSITION.
The County Clerk Explains Why Aft
davits of Registration Are
DELAYED.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
9OS Broadway. March g. (

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
90S Broadway, March 26.
The rapid response of voters to the no.
tice to register has deluged the Office of
County Clerk Jordan. Some complaints
have been made to him, and to-day he is
sued to the press the following explanation
and instructions that will be of value and
use to every voter in this county:
Kindly through the columns of your journal
Inform voters that those who have sent in their
affidavits of registration will receive postals as
soon as 1t is possible to examine. precinct. hle,
compile and register the same. Give your
readers to understand that the sending out of
postals is not legal requirement, but that in
order to avoid mistakes and to put voters at
ease concerning their registration have un-
dertaken as soon as possible after affidavits are
received and before he close of registration to
inform all who have made such affidavit OF the
fact of the actual entry of their names upon
the great register.
1t is estimated that there will be about
%, 600 names on the next great register. In
thirty-nine days we have taken in nearly
$4,000 affidavits, and there are now over four
months TO secure the remaining 5000 This
great rush has necessarily delayed the sending
out of postals.
State for the benefit OF your readers whose
affidaY1ts have been sent in, that II within the
next sixty days postals are not received they
should then make inquiries. After the rush
is over there will be less delay in sending out
postals also please inform your readers that
did hope to be able to furnish affidavits of
registration partly filled out to each voter in
the county whose name was on the last great
register and also in the last published direc-
tories and those who were actual residents OF
the different townships
In the city of Oakland l have prepared and
mailed over 10000 such afidavits and am now
having afidavits prepared for the remaining
districts The task lind is difficult one, be-
cause it is necessary to segregate the names of
those who have already registered from those
to be registered and this necessarily takes q
good deal of time.
Assure your readers that earnestly desire to
have on the next great register the name of
every man in this county who is entitled to
vote, and to that end have appointed large
number of deputies for the accommodation of
the voters in the different districts of the
county and to facilitate the work of registra-
ton. All ask is that the voters will give rea-
sonable attention to this matter which con-
Germs them so directly and present their affida-
Wits as soon as possible. Very truly yours,
FRANK G. JORDAN, County Clerk.

tinued with the hope of getting still more
light on the subject"
Experiments with the Tesla coil show
clearly that the ray can be produced
through the agency of a single wire.
To-day an apparatus was constructed for
proving this fact. Two large pieces of tin
covered sheetlron were suspended at a
perpendicular distance of about eighteen
inches from each other by means of silken
cords. To the upper was fastened the
negative wire and to the lower the posi-
tive. A number of tubes, both of the
Crooke's make, and the ordinary mean
descent were laid on top of the lower piece
of sheetiron and the current turned on.
The result was the producing of most
beautiful fuorescent rays, such as are
used in penetrating wood, leather and
other similar non-opaque objects.
The experimenters are intensely inter
ested in the prospects for discovering the
true origin of the Roentgen ray and pur-
pose continuing the work along the same
line they have begun on, with the hope
that their now only partially developed
theory will prove to be living reality.

THE STATE DEMOCRACY is RE.
SPONSIBLE.

For the illegal wastage of tho
school fund, because the matter was
brought to the attention of the legis-
lature by petition for the impeach-
ment of the district judge above men,
tioned,) and that body representa-
tive of the party, howled itself, black
in the face, screaming mo" when in
vestigation was proposed.
That petition charged that Tho
Judge elected by the vote in question
was a common and notorious drunk
ard on the bench and off the bench,
and incapable of discharging his off.
cial duties.
That upon the bench he INDUCED in
abusive language addressed to repu-
table citizens.
That he shamefully abused one w,
P. Guirey, who was crippled and wah
unable to resent the public insult.
That he publicly and from the
bench offered to fight Hon. w. H,
Mason, a reputable lawyer.
That he assaulted virtuOus WON.
an in a stage coach, and was by the
driver, one Jack Hogan, beaten off
with bucket.
That he assaulted and pursued a
predetermined girl with lustful pur-
pose till the young woman was driv'
en- for refuge to the death-bed of her
uncle, one Richards, who died n few
days thereafter.
That he VIGOROUSLY visited a house
of prostitution and called off dances
while clad and uncladed strumpets
danced in drunken carOusal."
These charges we're distinctively
and positively made and presented to
the last Democratic legislature sign
ed by good citizens who demanded
opportunity to prove the allegations.
The petition was referred to com.
mittee on judiciary, which committee,
without notice to, the petitioners
found that the petition twas founded
more in passion and malice than on
facts"
The petitioners were tried and
found guilty in star-chamber without
accusation!
The Democratic judge formally ac'
cused as provided by law, elected
term after term by votes handled by
an unlawful and lavish expenditure
of the school fund, was never even
called to answer.
The Democratic party posing as the
friend of the poor, declined to hear
the cry of a half-witted orphan girl
when she sought protection from a
lecherous Democratic official. Are
you willing to continue that Organi'
Zation in power?

4 DEPLORABLE RESULT.

Let it be supposed, for entire safe.
ty. that the writer of the above let
ter over-states the amount of school
fund taken from the state treasury
as teachers" salaries. Suppose the
amount to be only $4,000 per annum
in that one county. That alien vote
affects in greater or less degree at
least fifty counties. If it be assum-
ed that in the other counties the total
wastage would not average over ST..
600, (Which is obviously too low an es,
timate) The annual political steal
age is sure to be practically 100000
per annum.
The probabilities are that the annual
loss is more nearly 100000 But alb,
solute accuracy cannot be attained
because of the difficulty of locating
the facts which are strictly within
the keeping of the beneficiaries. a
probable million every decade!!

ANOTHER AND MORE DEPLOR
ARIE RESULT.

The manipulation of the fund and
the consequent political influence at
taching thereto, has thus far shown
its worst effect in the election and re-
election of unworthy men to office.
A judge elected by the vote in ques'
ton, guilty of shameful misbehavior'
has been repeatedly placed upon the
bench which he so fragrantly dis
graced. His unfitness, notorious to
all intelligent voters, was no obstacle
to reelection by the manipulated
vote.
