BASEBALL NOTES.

Harry Wright, Jr., son of the man
whose fame is contemporaneous with
the history of base ball, intends to fol-
low in the footsteps of his father. He
will begin at the bottom of the lad
der, and seeks to secure a position in
some minor league club as a pitcher or
an infielder.
Manager Long Of the Reading base
ball club has refused $1,000 in cash for
Cary and Garvin from Manager Ellis,

RoEBER AND HICKEY QUIT FITz.

Should Bob Fitzsimmons ever make
up his mind to engage in another con-
test for the championship it is safe to
say that he will have TO employ new
trainers TO assist him. Dan Hickey
and Ernest Roeber. the Graeco- Roman
wrestler who prepared Fitz for his mill
with Jim Corbett at Carson last
March. have left the lanky champion
and declare that they will never make
UP with him again. They contended
that Fitzsimmons has been ungrateful.
The breach occurred last week when
Fitzsimmons was staying at Newport.
1t is said that the champion promised
n certain amount OF money to his
trainers If they would appear with him.
This Roeber and Hickey agreed TO do,
but they claim that the Cornishman
failed TO live up to his agreement.

the notice or attention of those SEN

is the undoubted choice of the Repub-
licans of California for the office. and
there Is not even the remote probability
that their choice will be defeated.
While not partisans of Senator Perkins
we unhesitatingly proclaim ourselves
the advocates of political fair dealing
The Republican party has pronounced
in favor of Senator Perkins candidacy
forsthe position OF United States Sem

honor and party treason.
Moreover We are disposed to believe
that the opposition which has been de-

is dishonest. We entertain apprehen-
slons even that ii originates with the
venal element of his following. Evil
dence is not wanting that those who

Beyond this, we venture the predic-

will be successful. The caucus may
he delayed; the vote may be deferred;
but the present Legislature will elect
George c. Perkins to the Senate Of the
United States for the six years term
commencing on the 4th Of March next.
This is to be the outcome, and for the
sake of the political morals of the State
We would be glad to see him elected by
unanimous vote of the joint session of

DESIRABLE LEGISLATIVE REPORTS.

The Record Union" will, as has
been its custom for all the period of it's
history, serve the people during 1.-The
session of the approaching Legislature
with detailed, accurate, uncolored and
faithful reports of the proceedings of
the two houses from day to day.
The Record Union" is the only paper
in the State that makes such reports.
All others serve their readers with COR
respondence, or reports touching upon
the salient features of each days pro-
ceedings, and usually accompanied by
the comments and personal thoughts
of the correspondent or reporter.
1t is unquestionable that this system
has been the source of no little injustice
to legislators, While it is misleading for
fore either house that it is not the right
of the people to be informed concern
ing, without color or approving or op-
posing designation of it's character and
the stages of it's progress through the
houses.
BY reading the Record Union" re-
ports Of legislative proceedings the cit
liens can keep absolutely reliable and
accurate account of the history of every
bill and resolution, and just what it's
ports a succinct, concise, passionless
and faithful account of what takes
place in each house on all leading and
important measures, and what is the
outcome of every stage of movement of
every measure and proposition. In
every case there will be found preced-
ing and introducing a detailed report,
a predatory or synoptical account Of the
days work and activities in each house
that readers may ascertain whether
they need to read the full reports. This
synopsis covers the whole field of a
days activity, and is so concise, crisp
and readable as to be an invaluable aid
to readers of legislative proceedings.
In addition to these regular reliable
and accurate reports, the Record
Union" will run it's usual supplemental
free hand account of activities in and
about the houses Of legislation, COM

CUBAN SYMPATHY.

We do not mistake the evidences at
hand from many quarters Of our COM
| mon country that there has set in al
| ready a reaction rela i've to the true
| policy of the United States in the Span
| ish-Cuban trouble. The first great wave
| resistlessly, was in favor of immediate
and direct interference in the matter by
The United States in the form Of recog-
| milton first Of the belligerency of the in
| surgents, and secondly in favor of re-
| cognizing their independence as a SOW
| ereign body conducting the usual offices
| nations.
But while the sympathetic feeling for
the Cubans has not abated particle,
the people are rejecting, and more
calmly upon the wisdom of a policy Of
recognition of independence and this
state of the public mind is finding ex-
preston in the press of the East. 1t is
| felt that there must be calmer and more
| deliberate consideration of the whole
question before decisive action is taken,
and that this country must not be car
red off its feet by "a gust Of senti-
ment," as the New York Tribune" ex-
| presses it.
There is a great deal OF confusion of
| information as to what are the real con-
ditions upon the island, and very much
| Of doubt as to whether there is any
proper or substantial form of govern
nent for US TO recognize maintained or
attempted by the insurgents. Along
with our strong sympathy for the Gu
bans. we have business interests in
eolved, and likewise the commitment
# our country to a policy that we would
thereafter have to abide by.
Almost the entire Eastern press Of
| conspicuous influence and character is
now warning Congress to proceed with
| great caution and to deliberate coolly
| before taking any step that may plunge
US into war, or complicate US in the
meshes of a policy to which European
Powers might be glad to have US com
mitted.
We cannot overlook the fact that
there is large body of agitators in this
country who have direct and personal
interest in keeping sentiment at fever
heat for Cuba. and that these are naturs
ally prompted TO magni.y all reports
from the island likely to appeal 10 our
syn1pathies and quicken us to a protest
in the form Of Intervention. These I'm
nuences are actively engaged in move
ments that lead the people to believe
that heavy enlistment is going on in
the United States in aid of the Cubans.
and that the neutrality laws are vio-
lated and are to be defied under the
cover of the sympathy of the people.

Gambling in IndiA.

Amongst the Hindoos throughout
the whole Of India there Is holiday
celebration in honor Of Lakshmi, the
goddess of wealth and good fortune,
whereon gambling is universally re-
garded as o religious duty. 1t is known
as the festival of lamps, and on that day
all classes indulge in games of chance
with shells, coins, cards, dice, etc, and
the future of the individual, whether
good or bad, is looked upon as a forecast
of his wealth or poverty during the en-
suing year. The women take q most in
tense interest in the proceedings and, if
fortunate, expend their winnings in
the purchase of sweet-meats and fruits,
as gifts to all their friends and rela-
lions, toys for the small children and
fireworks for the boys. AT Benares,
their sacred city, as night approaches,
small earthen lamps, fed with oil, are
kindled, making the outlines of every
mansion, palace, temple and minaret
visible. All vessels in the river are also
illuminated; so that the whole city Is
one blaze of light.

nounced by those who have tried 1t
as the very best blood purifier and
