reserving to its editorial side all ex-
preston of opinion and policy. 1t is
added that the competent legislative
reporters of the "Record-Union" pay
attention strictly to their business and
are never found meddling with legisla-
lion or buzzing about members desks
seeking to influence them upon any
measure. We apprehend that sensible
newspaper men will agree that such q
policy of discipline and procedure is
the only right one for any journal to
pursue. 1t always results in command
ing the respect of the reader and of the
body reported. 1t is the only cleanly,
decent and high minded course for any
newspaper to adopt. 1t has always been
the Record -Union's' method, because
it is the only right one.

In Early DAYS.
(From the Pomona Times.)

The Sacramento Record Union has
entered its forty-seventh year. In the
early days it was carried by express
everywhere where two Of three were
camped together. In the mountains of
this State we paid 80 cents a copy for it,
and in Idaho and Eastern Oregon from
80 cents to 81. 1t can be had in all the
same places to-day for ) cents, although
it is just as ably edited and gives as
much news as it ever did. In the early
days the miners all testified to anything
the Union" said, and they would have
it at any cost. The miner who did not
read the "Union" was some unfortunate
who had never learned to read, and
there werea good many of them from
Georgia and a few from other States.
Only those who lived in the mines in
the early days of white settlements in
this State, Oregon and Idaho, can appre-
ciate the value placed upon the "Sacra-
mento Weekly Union"

a Winter Oath

WHAT CAME OF BREAKING THROUGH THE ICE
ina WISCONSIN River IN FEBRUARY.
From the Chronicle. Chicago, III.

Five years ago last winter, there was con-
siderable commotion on the banks of the
White River, Wisconsin, as = young man
named f. \. Hallect had broken through
the ice, and was for some moments lost to
view. II was not long, however. before Mr..
Halleck came in sight again, and by artistic
means was 1ished fr6m the fluid and restored
TO society If the ducking had been all, it
would have been well, but unfortunately,
the young gentleman contracted a heavy
cold, resulting in chronic Rheumatism, COM
plicated with disease Of kidney and urinary
organs
''For six months" writes Mr. Halleck,
"I was laid up, and not able to do anything.
During this time | suffered with pains in
the stomach and small of the back, and

the reforms they demanded, and relief
from what they deemed the harsh ex-
actions of the Boer Government. That
is TO say, the English coolly took upon
themselves the responsibility of pro-
noting a rebellion in a country with
Which they We're at peace, and that was
in compact with England by treaty for
the maintenance of amicable relations,
At the very time when this testimony is
being placed on record without a blush,
the English Government is protesting
with shotted guns against Grecians in
terposing in behalf of their own flesh
and blood in Crete and at the solicita-
ton of the Cretans to secure them eX
emption from the tyranny and misrule
of a foreign Power that has not a sin
gle shadow of right to dominate in
the island. Just how these two posi-
tions can be accommodated in the Eng
lish conscience is something that an
outsider vainly strives to understand.

He COULDN'T SWIM.
But fie Could Save Big Anvil and Did
SO in Truthful Manner.

They We're talking about swimming
at the City Hall the other day, and
among those engaged in the discussion
was Jim Springman. the well-knoNI II
Deputy Marshal. Springman has
charge of the cage at the City Hall
" here the prisoners are detained before
being taken into court, and also has
charge of their transportation to and
from the Jail. He is a man of many
stirring adventures, and Of remarkable
physical powers. Therefore his remark
that he cannot swim his own length was
heard with no little astonishment.
But although l can't swim Eve been
overheard several times" explained
SprinsInan, "and have yet to be
drowned. However, l came pretty near
it one time during the war, when / was
employed as an iron-Worker down at
the Wharves. That day l was carrying
seventy yfive-pound anvil on my
shoulder along the wharf when the first
thing l knew l was overheard in about
twenty fet Of water. l went right down
to the bottom, but didn't stay there
but u second, and up l came. The mo-
ment I got my head out of water 1 had

Did they ever get the anvil, Jim?"
asked one of the crowd.
Did they?" remarked Springman.
why man, you may believe me or not,
but / never let go of that anvil. You
see" went on Springman, ignoring the
smiles of the crowd. Il was walking
along with the anvil on my left shout
der, and when l went down I shot down
SO quick that l hadn't time to let go of
it. SO when I bobbed up the thing came
up with me right on my shoulder, too,
just where it was when l dropped over
board. You see, it was all done so quick
that l hadn't time to think, or else I'd
let go of it, and"

They Attend TO Business.

(From the Woodland Daily Democrat)
The San Francisco newspapers have
been maintaining q large reportorial
force in Sacramento during the present
session of the Legislature, but none Of
them have furnished such full and sat
isfactOry reports of legislative pro-
ceedings as have been published in the
Record Union" That paper employs
a reporter III each house. one of them
IS a lady. These reporters write 8
clear, concise and Ineligible summary
Of the legislative news. Nothing inn
p0rtant is omitted and vague and i'm
probable rumors are not employed to
fill up space. The record Of the days
events is just as reliable and more
complete than that found in the jour
nails of the two houses. These report
ers attend strictly to business and are
never seen around the desks of mem
bers trying to influence legislation. The
reports are fair and unprejudiced, and
all comment is reserved for the edito-
rial columns. In other words, the
Record Union" publishes the news
without color and without bias.
The record-union., 1897-03-08

The extra session of Congress that
the new President has ordered is GER
tain to prove one of liveiiest interest. It
seems to be pretty well understood that
nothing of much Importance but tariff
legislation shall engage it, and the
main drift will be toward re-enactment
of the Mckinley bill, or measure SIM
liar to it. Yet we apprehend that the
new bill that may be agreed upon, if
any, Will be a bill upon lines very much
modified as compared with the original
act. Neither friends nor opponents of
high tariffs are so radical in their views
now, as they were six years ago. On
both sides there have been concessions
made that indicate coming nearer to-
gether

However hopeless the cause Of the
King of Greece may be in this Cretan
matter, the world cannot but admire
his courage and his grit. Knowing that
twenty times greater than any he cam
possibly muster, he does not hesitate
for moment to declare his intention
to do battle for the position he has ta-
ken. If human sympathy could be ar
rayed in battle line he would have such
a force as would overthrow any sol
diery that could possibly be brought
against him.

"Dignity and Impudence." +"

An hour after sunset some hundreds
OF barefooted Moslems assemble in
long lines beneath the vast dome of
the Mosque of San Sofia in CONSTANT
nople. AS one man they rise up or
kneel prone upon the mat-covered floor,
according TO the words of the mueddin
or priest, who calls to them from the
Mikhral. The little children meanwhile
play and chase each other between the
rows of worshipers. The scene as de-
picted by London Graphic" artist is
a fine study in the contrast of youth
full impudence and elderly dignity.

LEGISLATIVE INQUIRY.

The time was when a legislative
tribunal Of the people in a self-govern-
ing country entered upon an investiga-
tion into charges made against the
tribunal or some of the membership
Of its house. that the proceeding moved
upon the plane of simple inquiry and
ascertainment of fact regardless of
what the witnesses or any one else
might want. N0sy, however if we may
judge from steps taken in an investi-
cation now going on in the Legislature,
the method and theory have changed
charges assume to be on trial and pro-
ceed to make defense, employ counsel,
and in fact convert themselves into
prosecutors or defendants at will.
The Record Union is taking no part
in this wrangle over the sensationalism
Of a sensational sheet, but it is con-
cerned in knowing whether witnesses
run legislative Investigations or
inquiries are supreme within their
office. 1t is a very important question
indeed, and if it is decided adversely to
the old time custom, we shall have a
wholly new order Of legislative in
quiry that will prove very embarrass-
ing and tend to impede the course of
justice and of legislation.
AS we understand it a committee Of
@< 7 -
Investigate certain charges and report
the facts found. In the course of that
proceeding witnesses are called to tes-
tify to their knowledge of that of which
they are asked. Threupon these wit
nesses assume that they are upon trial
and demand counsel and are accorded
1t, and proceed to put up a. defense that
smacks OF a prosecution.
Soberly and decently, in what atti-
tude does that place the legislative
body? The right procedure is very
simple. A witness is called and is ex-
amined by the committee and by no
one else. When he has given his tes-
timony he retires from the stand and
that is the end of 1t, so far as he is
concerned. If he refuses to answer and
is contumacious, he should be punished
severity as to teach him that when
the people in their supreme representa-
tive capacity ask a question, they are
entitled to such an answer as the law
.f- 10 ha ltafa Of he
witness TO make.
The idea of permitting a witness TO
employ counsel and conduct an exam
ination fer or against the committee
or it's principal, is absurd. 1t is a bad
precedent. 1t is never justifiable ex-
cept a witness is placed on trial and be-
comes a defendant, and that legisla-
tive committee does not do. If any
counsel is needed the committee can call
In its own legal aids to conduct exami-
nations. 1t is submitted that far and
away more important than the defense
of any witness who puts himself in a
defensive attitude. is the observance
of correct procedure. and that upon
that observance hinges the question
whether a legislative committee of in
quiry is 10 be grilled as a defendant
converted into a trial court, and the
witnesses it calls be transformed
into prosecutors or defendants, de-
manding and receiving aid of counsel
and setting up the technical defenses
of persons on trial or persons prosecut-
ing
