terror, was not to their liking, and the
short cut, in their estimation, to ignor-
ing it was to suppress publication of
even the cold fact of the annual meet
ing of the chamber. This is a fair sam
pie of Journalism as it is conceived and
carried on in the metropolis of the coast.
These same papers have a consider
able circulation in Sacramento; they
are constantly bidding against the local
press for subscription patronage. and
the plea of the solicitors Is always that
no matter what the opinions of the edi-
torial sides of the papers. they give the
news 'impartially and fully" and
therefore they are of some value to
readers. Yet the Sacramento clientage
of these sheets opened them yesterday
to discover that the proceedings of the
annual meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce of its own city were refused pub
lication because there was one resolu-
tion opposed to the views Of the jour-
nails in question.
If in this patent instance of suppress
sion, injustice and unfair play, 1t is
made clear that the San Francisco press
warps news reports, suppresses and al
ters them when not to their liking, how
reasonable it is to conclude that they do
SO in all other cases where news runs
counter to the schemes of these So
called newspapers. The fact is that
these same San Francisco journals are
little more than exponents of the views,
prejudices and selfish schemes that
operate behind or within them. How
long will citizens OF Sacramento con-
tinue to patronize these papers and
thus encourage them in their course?

tain, compared with the expressions
of the newspapers not published in Sac
ramento, and that in every case the
outside newspaper bases its assaults on
its experience, or testimony other than
that of a Sacramento newspaper.
All the people of the Adams and hush
a-by-baby order, who imagine that they
escape the hunter by ducking their
heads ostrich-like in the sand, ought
to be told that all they accomplish is the
exposure of a more useful portion Of
their anatomy. The people of sense and
cleanliness are weary of this twaddle
about shutting the closet door tight and
close in the hope that nostrils will not
detect the stencil within. The way to
remove the carrion is to snatch it forth
and dispose of it to the publication Of
the apartment Let the Adanses con-
tinue to fold their hands and believe
that if the newspapers should shut their
mouths about Sacramento water, the
world would never know anything
about it, and that strangers will come in
and stay with US and invest in our en-
terprises blissfulIy ignorant of the evi-
dence of their senses

MISS PENELoPE's VALENTINE

Especial Correspondence of Record-Unlon)
She sat on the cool, shady piazza in
the exact spot and in the exact chair
where she had been sitting for more
years than she cared to remember.
Not that Miss Penelope was vain, but
like the average woman she has a
wholesome fear of some day growing
old.
She still wore her hair in a. row of
stiff little curls, falling upon her neck,
and fastened on the top by a bow of
bright hued ribbon.
Her dresses We're always made in the
same fashion. Short baby waists, and
full tucked skirts, beneath which one
caught glimpses of asmall, daintily shod
foot
Miss Penelopes neighbors were not
always charitable, and some even went
so far as to say they wondered if Pene-
lope Andrews had forgotten that she
was forty years old instead of twenty !?
But Miss Penelope heard none of these
things, and lead her own quiet life in
undisturbed solitude.
To-day as she sits on the piazza her
active hands are folded idly in her lap,
unmindful of the pan of peas she ought
to be shelling for dinner.
All day she has been living in the past.
1T began that morning while she was
toasting the bread for her solitary
breakfast. She happened ito raise her
eyes to the mantel shelf; as she does
so they fall upon an ancient valentine
hanging over the tall, old-fashioned
clock; this valentine has hung there for
almost twenty years SO that there
should be no reason for showing un-
warranted agitation; nevertheless, the
moment her eyes fall upon it she burned
the toast, and afterWard ate it as a
penance
When she had finished her breakfast
and tidied UP the kitchen she looked at
the calendar and saw that it was St.
Valentines Day.
After that discovery Miss Penelope
went about her work as in dream.
Again she saw her sailor lover as they
parted for the last time down by the
gate. He had sent that valentine the
day he made his last trip.
The record-union., 1896-02-14

They were to have been married upon
his return, but the ship had sunk with
all on board.
Miss Penelope arouSes herself with a
little jerk, takes up the PAM of peas,
and feigns to shell them energetically.
Presently the postman comes down
the street Got a letter for you," he
says, thrusting a. big, bulky envelope
into her hands. Must be a valentine, .
and then he runs down the steps. AT
the mention of that word Miss Pene-
lope, who has been too bewildered to
speak, tears it open hastily, without a
glance at the superscription and draws
out not letter but the counter part OF
the ancient valentine she had gazed
upon that morning.
Miss Penelope sinks back into her
chair with a little gasp Of astonish-
ment. The valentine drops from her
nerveless grasp.
Down the street comes the sound of a
merry whistle, while the odor of tar
and fresh, soft sea breezes is waited to
her.
Penelope" calls a well-known voice,
Penelope, it is I, Jack, come back
again" And the next thing Miss Pene-
lope knows she is sobbing on the manly
breast of her sailor lover.
1t seems that he was the only sur
vivor of the wreck and after various ad-
ventures at last found himself a
stranger in a strange land.
By degrees he managed to earn
enough to take passage home, but on
the eve of departure he heard that Miss
Penelope had married. Then he lost
all interest in his native land and re-
solved to live and die on these foreign
shores.
But after an absence of nearly twenty
years great longing to see his native
land once more took possession of him,
and he returned and learned to his sat
isfaction that his sweetheart was still
true to his memory.
Then he sent the valentine and fol-
lowed it UP by coming himself.
They were married few weeks later,
and to-day two valentines hang over the
ancient clock BESELENA.

BOGGS AND MATTHEWS.
Ridiculous Ground of the Assault Upon
Them.


(From the San Francisco Post)
The assertion of a morning paper.
which is just now suffering from the
railroad rabies, that DR.. w. p. Mathews
and John Boggs should not be reap
pointed members of the State Board of
Agriculture because they are railroad
men, betrays the depths to which rail-
road asininity will descend upon an
emergency. 1t is ten years since John
Boggs was a Senator, and during his
entire term there was no railroad issue
except taxes before the Legislature.
The record will show that, while Boggs
was not conspicuous in any of the dem
aGogic attempts which were made TO
settle the tax questions in his time, he
always voted with what the morning
"Blacklister'' now calls the people" /"
but which is really its own interests.
Four years ago DR.. Mathews was
Chairman of the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the Assembly. AS such it be-
came his duty to pass upon some of the
legislation designed to settle the tax
questions pending between the State
and the railroads. He disagreed with
the demagogues who aimed to ''cinch"
the railroads, but who always, for rea-
sons it is unnecessary to discuss, fail to
do so, and proposed bill of his own.
He was overruled and the peoples"
bill passed. The record which has since
been made shows that had Mathews
plan been adopted the State would have
received 100000 more than it received
under the so-called peoples" BILL
1t is an outrage that a newspaper
which pretends to represent the inter-
ests of the State should assail two men
like Boggs and Mathews upon such
evidence. The former is one Of the

THE SAN FRANCISCO PRESS SUP
PRESSES THE NEWS.

The Sacramento Chamber of Com
merce is the chief representative busi-
ness organization in Central and North
ern California outside of the metropolis.
It's doors are open to all citizens of Gen.
trail and Northern California. It's rep
resentative character is high and its
membership is composed of sterling
good citizens and thoughtful men.
These members held their annual meet
ing Wednesday evening in this city and
it proved to be a most important convo-
cation.
Among the subjects taken UP and
passed upon by expression in resolu-
tions adopted, after calm consideration
in committee, was one favoring the
funding of the railroad debts on the
basis of fifty years extension of time.
The chamber considered also the river
question, navigation, the dangers there
tc. the hydraulic mining question, Gov
ernment supervision Of the navigabIe
streams and other important subjects
1t was altogether notable meeting,
and as public concern its proceedings
must be accounted to fall within the
realm Of very important current news.
But. strange as it may seem, none of
the San Francisco morning papers of
yesterday had a word to say concerning
it. though each has special reporters in
this city. all of whom knew Of the meet
ing, and two of whom were pres
ent. Although dispatches concerning
it's deliberations and resolves were sent
to at least two of these papers, and
probably to all, and through the usual
news channels, they were diligently
suppressed by the San Francisco morn
ing dailies.
Yet these same journals. the Call, ;"
Chronicle and Examiner" claim to
be records of each days events, GER
tainly of important events and proceed
ings within the State.
It is not difficult to understand why

of Commerce found no place in those
papers. The funding resolution, which
was the unanimous expression of the

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MEETING.

The report of the proceedings of the
Chamber of Commerce at it's first annual
meeting, held Wednesday night, occu-
pied no less than eight columns in yes
terday mornings Record Union" and
every word of it is of first interest to
every man in the Sacramento Valley.
and largely to all citizens of the mining
counties and of the foothill region.
There has been held here. nor any
where, in years a California meeting
more charged with vital interest to the
whole State than this meeting. If its
treatment of all subjects considered by
it is not in all things to the liking of all
people, it certainly presented the sub
jects boldly, fairly, fully and with bust
ness courtesy and wisdom. Neither
heat, passion, prejudice, biased judg-
ment, nor uncharitableness are manifest
in the important reports submitted by
it's officers, nor in the conclusions
reached by the chamber.
Exigencies of space and time forbid
considering the action of the chamber
with that degree of fullness and explicit
ness to-day that their Importance war
rants. But the Record Union" does
not hesitate to advise all of it's readers
concerned in the welfare of the State
and its several communities, to read
the broad-minded, intelligent reports
submitted, and the strong resolutions
adopted. We are confident that whether
these meet the views of our readers in
all cases or not, no one will regret hav-
ing perused the matter referred to. The
chamber is much less than year of age,
yet in that time it has done far more
than was anticipated.
This paper was an earnest advocate
for its erection. We foresaw that such a
body, formed on a broad and conserva-
tive basis, planned for free, open and
embracing in its ranks citizenship of
the whole north and central interior,
could be made most useful agency in
the upbuilding and development of Cali
lOIIAld, anu AL l1C plOlA1OIlO1L VI GIL
worthy schemes for the betterTnent of
local and State conditions. Thus far
the chamber has proved worthy of the
expectation. It may not in all things
have acted precisely as the judgment
of this paper would advise it, but we
are conscious of the fact that there
never has been, and never will be, a
business body that in all respects will
meet with the approval of all men.
What is now needed is an exceeding
large membership in the chamber. Fif-
teen counties ought to be largely repre-
sented in it. 1t is essentially Northern
and Central California institution, and
stands for the highest and best interests
of that entire section and of the whole
State. It's officers have proven thus far
efficient, diligent and progressive, and
have done more TO conserve the common
good than the most confident had ex-
pected of them. The duty of the people
is to bend their energies to the enlarge
ment of the membership and the funds
of the chamber, that its work may be
more easily, rapidly and thoroughly ac-
complished.

most conspicuous farmers, bankers and
public-spirited men in the State. DR..
Mathews is an old-fashioned Southern
politician, whose whole life has been
spent combating fraud and upholding
good Government The fact that in his
old age he is comeplled to hold a small
public Office in order to live cannot be
cited to his discredit
We trust Governor Budd will reap
point both these gentlemen to the State
Board of Agriculture. He will search
the State in vain for two who will bring
more credit to his administration.
