thhsiastlc advocate of the free and unlim-
lted coinage OF silver. The similarity of
names ana state has caused some confu-
sion among the friends of the two gentle
men. The State department official has

THE DAY.

Whatever the vicissitudes through
which people pass, they still have
reason to be thankful for preservation
as communities and a nation. Probably
no group of human beings has more
reason to be devoutly thankful to the
Supreme Being than ours. We have
despite all seeming obstacles, doubts
and fears, continued to grow in strength
and capacity. We are greater and bet
ter to-day than we were last year; as a
people we-have broader intelligence and
more expanded comprehension of duties
and obligations; We have loftier ideals
and feel more of the vigor that makes
approach to them possible. We have
passed through another of those peace
full revolutions characteristic of our sys-
tenn of government, and have come out
of it safely, wiser, better, stronger than
ever.
There is, on such a day and season as
this, duty and privilege conjoined
with our thankfulness that we cannot
neglect without injury to ourselves,
namely, the taking into our sympathies
more closely those less fortunate and
whom poverty, sickness and misfor-
tunes have afflicted. In the midst of
our praying and feasting and giving
thanks, let us not forget the poor and
the afflicted in our midst, or fail to ex-
tend to them if nothing more those
small attentions and kindly offices and
material benefactions which make the
bowed down feel that there is hope for
them in the hearts of their neighbors
and fellow beings.

DEATH OF DIR. BONTE.

The death of Rev. J. H. c. Bonte,
M. A, d. D., in this city on Tuesday
removes man who was held in high
esteem in Sacramento by all the peo-
pie who enjoyed the privilege Of ac-
quaintance with him. When DR.. Bonte
was called from this city where he had
so long ministered to the people as a
devout and earnest clergyman, and la
bored as public-s spirited citizen, to ac-
cept the responsible post Of Secretary
to the Board of Regents of the State
University, it was felt that Sacramento
had suffered distinct loss.
Yet DR.. Bonte had so many ties that
bound him to this city, some of his chill
dren living here, and he having here
also a wide circle of close friends, that
he really never severed himself from us
His visits We're frequent to US and they
were always like home comings In
deed, when DR.. Bonte came among us
1t was a genuine pleasure to see how
heartily and with what pure enjoyment
he entered into the communion once
more with his old parishioners and null
titude of friends.
While he resided here the learned
gentleman took a deep interest in pub
lie affairs outside of political activi-
ties. and was foremost in promoting
public-spirited, scientific and literary
matters. He believed that every man
owes debt to the community In which
he lives that he cannot fully pay. no
matter how actively he labors in its
interest.
The reverend gentleman and lamented
citizen was a many sided man; he was
broadly read, he was a keen observer
and a practiced debater, but never a
wrangler. His heart was big with SYM
pathy for his fellow beings. There was
no mortal so insignificant and lowly
as to find no place in his syrnpathies
In his later years his whole thought
was absorbed by the interests Of the
State University, into the concerns of
which he entered with all the -enthusi-
asm and hope that so distinguished all
his active and useful years passed in
this city.
DIR. Bonte came home to die among
the people who loved him so well, and
for whom he cherished such affection.
Their loving hands will lay him In his
resting place, and their tears viii water

NOT CONCLUDED.
Trial of William Otto for Assault
With a Deadly Weapou.

William Otto was on trial in Judge
Hinkson's court yesterday on charge
Of assault with a deadly weapon. The
charge grew out of his trouble some
time ago with Police Captain Ash and
Officer Douglas on L street, when he
drew pistol while the officers were
trying to arrest him.
Otto contends that he did not know
the men were officers until the trouble
was nearly ended, but Ash and Doug
las say they announced their official
character early in the fight.
Otto was convicted of disturbing the
peace on that occasion, and his attor-
ney, f. c. Hart, makes the defense that
the acts were one and the same, and
that he cannot legally be convicted on
both charges. Several witnesses were
introduced to prove the general good
character of the defendant for peace
and quietness.
The case was not concluded yester-

ADJUSTMENTS.

"Fleur de Lis" is a brilliant spectacle,
as given by Della Fox's Comic Opera
Company-especially in the second act
is there a fine spectacle, and the third
act is full of laughter as any well could
be. But musicaIly it Is not level with
THE Little Trooper" which gives the
baritone and the soprano far better OPP
portunities, and, indeed, the whole
operetta is more tuneful There was a
good house in attendance last evening,
and the company was as faithful and as
obliging with responses to encores and
as detailed In its work as If it had been

charming Little Mildred in the title role.
The play is we'll given and there is moth
ing lacking in any Of the parts. To-
night there will be the usual distribution
Of orders for crayon portraits.
At the Metropolitan Theater this
evening the sensational drama, Dark
est Russia" which has had a long and
successful run at the California Theater
in San Francisco. We are told that ad-
ditional interest is added by the recent
crowning OF the Car. 'The Muscovite
rule with its crying injustice, heartless
oppression and police system is shown
in this stirring drama as 1t exists to-day,
and under which the people are held
in subsection. The play is cleverly con-
structed and abounds in intensely dra-
matte situations, climax following cli-
max in rapid succession. The plot is
strong, and the lines are thrilling, bright
and consistent. 1t is full Of heroics and
romance and Is staged elaborately and
expressively. The company is an un-
usually strong one, and many we'll
known and excellent people are in the
cast" Concerning the piece San Fran
cisco paper says: 1.-The many people
who attended the opening of the Cali
fornia last evening saw Russia In two
grand scenes. First in the palace of a
nobleman, surrounded by all the glitter,
the grandeur and the imperial glory of
the Car. Here Is the awful, the pom
derous power that sways millions of

next is Sdberia-the dreary and eternal
winter Of the abode Of THE exiles thrust
away to grovel under the fierce dis
pleasure Of the autocrat. One hears the
clank of chains and the tread of the
merciless guards as the long, gray line
of wretched beings file over the frozen
steppe." Another paper in that city
thus opens its criticism: Darkest
Russia is melodrama of the deepest
and the highest kind of color by Grat-
tan Donnelly. There has not been as
much genuine entertainment got out
OF lurid story of desperate villainy
since The Curse Of Cain as was got
out of Darkest Russia by the audience

lect of duty, nor did any of them have
any matter Of public interest to lay be-
fore the jury.
In the matter of the publication Of
election proclamations. the jury recon-
mends that such be published in but
one newspaper, and THAT a copy thereof
be sent to each voter. This It is claimed
would effect material saving of ex-
pense.
OTHER RECOMMENDATION
The report recommends that the Leg
islature provide for changing Section
OF Article I. of the Constitution so that
three-fourths Of jury may find ver-
dict In criminal cases. New trials are
often necessary because one or two
jurors do not agree with the others, and
within a few years it has cost the county
$11,67S for jurors. reporters and wit
nesses' fees
The reduction of official salaries and
fees Is recommended. Real estate,
rents and nearly all the staple products
Of agriculture have shrunk nearly one
half. and the profits Of all kinds of busi-
ness have been greatly reduced. 1t is
NAAAASNHe AOd PCOplC " pay CiiCii lo<AS',
and unless there be some remedy many
of our most worthy and enterprising cit
liens will ere long become hopelessly
bankrupt.
"A dollar now," says the report, has
nearly double the purchasing power for
all the necessaries of life that it had
when the present salaries We're fixed by
the Legislature, and as a matter of
justice We see no good reason why the
reduction asked for should not be made.
We are very certain there will be plenty
of intelligent honest and capable citi-
zens who will make efficient county Of
ficers and who will be ready and willing
to serve the county at reduced rates.
When many seek an office and make
great exertions to obtain it, the very
best evidence is afforded that the emolu-
ments are too high and should be re-
duced. This can be done without any
injury to the public service
The report is signed by Thomas Nc
Connell (Foreman) and F. B. Adams
Secretary.
