other preliminares Mr. +. J. Davies pre-
sented to Council resolutions adopted by the
ADVISORY Board OF twenty-five citizens
appointed at the recent public meeting held
to take action on the new storage reservoir
for the public water works.
Councilman James objected to the resolu-
uohs on the ground that they were not in
proper form, the names of the twenty-five
committeeman being absent. Action in the
matter was deferred until the report Of the
! water committee was taken up for cOrsdera-
tion, and at that stage of the proceedings the
resolutions werelaid over to be considered at
a special meeting that will be called for that
purpose. Mr.. Bell wanted the resolutions
referred to his committee, but Council did
not take kindly to that proposition, and his
motion to that effect was defeated.
Councilman Bell, of the street committee,
stated that meeting had been arranged to
consider the condition of the stream crossing
East Centre street. The bed of the stream
needs cleaning out and property owners in

AN APPEAL FOR UNITY.
The Republican Anti-Civil Service
League Issues an Address to
Voters of the State,

The Republican Anti-Civil Service
League of California has issued an ad-
dress to voters, which says in part:
We feel that the threatened detection of the
thousands of Republicans who harbor bitter
antfpathy toward the so-called civil-seryice
dogma cannot but result in harm 70 the sue
cessful accomplishment of the objects for
which the league is organized, to-wit, the OBJ
liberation OF the system from form of gov
eminent through the instrumentality of con-
slant and incessant agitation within the ranks
of Repuoicanisn. Think of the results that
will accrue II we follow out consistently this
line of procedure. Ponder the futility of
desertion from the ranks of a party that has
made this nation the greatest in which Repub-
lican institutions exist under the sun-a party
to whose upbuilding and perpetuation Lincoln,
Grant, Blaine and the other brilliant minds in
the galaxy of Republican leaders gave their
magnificent mentality and prodigious energy.
1t is true that President Mckinley Is admit
tedly an advocate of the civil service dogma,
and stands committed to the insdious policy
but this more properly is due to the fact that
in the platform of the Republican party was
covertly inserted a declaration in favor of the
course is obliged to stand by this declaration,
and only by consistent and constant work on
the part of Republicans generally can an anti
civil service platform be adopted in 1900 This
movement has taken root in many States of
the American Union, and in the Keystone
and Buckeye" States aggressive action has
been taken and the administration has not
been able to stem the tide. California is COM
ing to the fore under the leadership of the
league, and there is every reason to expect
national convention. opposed to civil service.

see the necessity of earnest cooperation and

said:
Great events, like great men, very
often appear in groups About three CEN
turtles ago there were several important
occurrences which took place almost SIM
ultaneously-the discovery of America,
the emancipation of the Holy Bible by
Luther, the fall of Constantinople and
invention of printing. Although the dis
covery of movable types by Lawrence
Coster was purely an accident, it was by
no means accidental that the art Of print
ing was introduced into the ages at the
time of the renaissance, for printing in
a large sense is the preserver and con-
servator of all other forces which are
making for true progress
1.-The evolution of the modern newspa-
per is fascinating study. Little did our
forefathers dream of what would be the
future power and influence of the news

their great editors. Many of these men
have been epoch-makers. The name of
