THE ASSEMBLY ON TRIAL.

I HEN the investigating committee was ap-
w pointed to inquire into the charges made
against Speaker Wright and the manager Of
Grants Senatorial campaign the accused parties were
placed on trial; when little later, rumors of pos
sible whitewash were circulated from Sacramento
through the State the committee itself was on trial
before the people, and now that the report has been
submitted to the Assembly and reports are current
that an attempt will be made in that body to relieve
the Speaker OF the condemnation justly put upon
him the Assembly is on trial.
While the investigating committee did not uncover
all that it might have brought to light had it pursued
its examinations with more vigor, it certainly OBJ
tanned sufficient testimony to confirm the charges
made against the Speaker and it had the courage and
the honesty to make straightforward report on the
subject That report the people expect the Assembly
to sustain If it be set aside the Assembly will be
condemned
When the report has been adopted it will then be
the duty of the Assembly to go farther and mete out
to Speaker Wright the full measure OF penalty his
ofenses deserve. The culprit thus exposed, dis
credited dshonored and disgraced should not be
permitted to occupy for another day the Speaker
chair. Nor should he be permitted to remain in the
Assembly. He is unfit to represent an honorable
constituency, to legislate for California and to sit
among honest His official career should be ter
minated before he inAict any further disgrace
upon the State
The signs and evidences that have been noted at
Sacramento OF desire the part of the Burns gang
to save the Speaker from the consequences of his
actions have increased the public indignation against
the methods Of the Mexican boss No testimony
was submitted during the investigation to show what
inducements were given to Wright to vote for Burns
but enough was disclosed to create moral certainty
that he was moved by some underhand job and in
tgue; and the efforts OF the Burns men to shield him
from just punishment increases the suspicion OF cor
rupt collision and strengthens the popular demand
for the expulsion OF the Speaker from the Legislature

LARGE CROWDS VISIT
THE PARK AND CLIFF
WARM WEATHER BRINGS. OUT
THE CITY PUBLIC.
Minor Accidents on the Roads to the
Beach-Exercises in Perspiration
and Other ADJUSTMENTS for
Pleasure Seekers.

The warm weather drew long strings
of people to the Park and Cliff yesterday.
Every avenue and green in the city's
pleasure ground was packed with men,
women and children. The hottest part of
the day was shortly after noon, when the
mercury registered Y degrees.
1t kept at this temperature for some
time, forcing the pedestrians into the
shade of trees and the "bikers" to the
faucet. The fat men shed perspiration
and the lean did the same out of pure
envy. One "biker,' who outweighed
everything else on the Park and Cliff
bicycle line. lost his pedals at the head
of the speed track and landed in a heap
a mile below. He was not injured seri-
ously and refused to give his name.
The big crowds on the beach and the
hill to the Cliff were startled out of their
repose about o'clock by wild runaway
horse. The occupants of the rig were IN
injured, but not so much can be said for
the harness and buggy, both of which
were carried in pieces to the Park Police
Station.
At the Chutes over 1000 people passed
through the gates.

THE PURIFIED JURY BOX.

| } Y something like formal ceremony OF purltca-
I } ton by fire, Judge Daingerheld County Clerk
Deane and Chief Deputy Goddard have cleaned
the box containing the lists of jurymen and taken
steps which justify the hope that the stufing of the
box and the consequent packing of juries will no
longer be included among the scandals of the City
Hail.
The evil has been of long continuance, and at
times good deal OF attention has been directed to it
by reason of some fragrant offense, While the law
requires that the names placed in the jurybox shall
be selected by Superior Judges it has been possible
for other parties to put in the box, and several
attempts have been made discover persons guilty
of such stufhng, but never with any success
Thanks to the publication and the rules
adopted it is likely we shall have ures honestly
selected at any rate, whatever may happen to them
afterward. The Judge, the County Clerk and the
CHIEF deputy removed from the box all the old names,
and the slips of paper which these written
were then burned. When the box was thus cleaned
the newly selected names placed in it. These
were all written by person, in peculiar hand
writing, and therefore it will be easily possible to
determine whether any name hereafter drawn from
the box has been forged or illegally placed there.
The cleaning out of the box and the substitution
OF entirely lot of written and deposited
under strict regulations and supervision is subject
OF no small Importance to the community. Under
system of government the whole social fabric
rests upon the honesty of jurymen. To them come
all questions of property of life and of liberty When
the urybox is tainted with fraud the very founda-
ton of civilization is affected The knowledge
that the jurybox has been stuffed has long const-
tuted one of the gravest OF our municipal scandals,
and there is good reason for general qualification over
what has been done to prevent any such ofenses
iii future.

THE CANDIDATE
AND THE SMILE

To the Editor of The Calm your edi-
torial columns this morning under the
caption fastening the Millennial Dawn"
you refer to Assemblyman Caminettf as
either joker or a joke because he has
introducedfinto the Assembly bill to pro-
hibit candidates bribing or attempting to
pr1be voters with whisky, cigars, etc.
You do not refer to the practice as brib-
cry, but it is certainly nothing else. When
a candidate enters a saloon, announces
himself as q candidate and invites those
present to drink or smoke at his expense,
he does it with the hope of influencing
them to vote for him, just as surely as
though he were distribute ng double
eagles among them. TO be sure he does
not exact pledge to do so, but it is not
the eXacting of pledges, but the Offering
of considerations that constitutes brib-
cry.
The proposed legislation is not some
thing new and unheard-of, as you seem
TO think. You say, when such state of
morals exists as will permit a candidate
to wage a campaign without buying a few
cabbage leaves and smiling with his
friends there will be no need of any law
on the matter for the millennium will be
here and drinking and smoA4ng will have
become things of the past A law similar
to that proposed has been in force in Can
ada for many years, and yet drinking. and
smoking are by no means things of the
past. But the whisky campaign is de-
c1dedly thing Of the past" thanks to
the aforesaid law.
I agree with you that the bill if passed
as at present drafted. will probably not
be properly enforced but that is no rea-
son why 1t should be voted down. 1t
should rather be amended by adding to
the penal clauses one providing that con-
viction of the successful candidate of the
infraction of any of the provisions of the
bill shall disqualify the candidate and
void the election; or better still. give the
office to his opponent, provided he is not
shown to have broken the law in his can.
vass. This will make it to the interest of
every defeated candidate to show, if pos
sible, that the law has been violated by
the successful one, and SO make the law
virtually self-operative
If such an obviously necessary and ben
eficial law as this cannot be enforced in
this State, we may as well paraphrase the
oft-quoted sentiment and say that our
government is OF the saloon. by the saloon
and for the saloon. J. E. HUGHES.

THE BARRIERS
PROPOSED LAW

Editor Call: The interest taken by your
paper in regard to sanitary measures, as
applied to barber shops, prompts us to in
form your readers in general and the bar
bers in particular that Assembly Bill 49,
an act to regulate barbering, intended to
insure the better education of such practi-
TONERS in the State of California-was in
troduced at the request of the BARRIERS
Association of the Pacific Coast, who held
an open meeting December Is, 1898, when
it was decided unanimously to declare in
favor of such a law as Assembly Blu 119.
Similar laws are in force in Eastern
States and there operate admirably we'll,
both to the public and BARRIERS, benefiting
those who desire Improvement and injur-
ing the ones that are degenerating, so we
see by the official report Of the BARRIERS
State Board of Examiners of Minnesota,
made to their Legislature.
Our BARRIERS Association has members
in nearly every town in this State. Those
of Los Angeles send petition of over
800 to the Legislature, and in this city
the proprietors of the following barber
shops who favor the proposed legislative
enactment, are: Mr.. Bernhard of the
Palace Mr.. Lanbenheimer of the Grand,
Mr. Lippert of the Occidental, Mr.. Green :
berg of the Safe Deposit, Mr.. Finney of
the Merchants Exchange and 1853 others,
including the journeymen. Believing this
matter to be of public interest, you will
please give it space in your valuable
paper. W. =. S Ei.iI1,

A MISTAKE OF THE FATHERS.

= OMMENTING upon the scandals which have
arisen from Senatorial elections in various parts
OF the Union, and with particular reference to
those at Sacramento the Boston Globe points out
that the whole project OF the constitution for improv-
ing the personnel of the Senate by requiring the
election OF its members by Legislatures instead of by
the people "has been rdicued by century of ex-
perience.'
1t is an indisputable truth that where popular
opinion governs the elections of Senators the best
men obtained and where the elections are
arhest away from the people the Senate fares worst
The Globe very justly says:
"In New England and the South, speaking gener-
ally the Legislatures choose men who would have no
reason to fear election by the people, but it is
doubtful how much longer this standard can be main
tanned under false system. New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia Ohio, In
diana, Michigan, Nebraska. North Dakota and Ore
gon at least have Senators who would be very re-
luctan to submit themselves to the test OF popular
election and who cannot be regarded improve
ment upon the whom the people of these States
choose for Governors"
1t requires no elaborate review of Senatorial con-
for long series of years to find proof of the ac
curacy of that statement. Ample evidence can be
found in the daily reports OF the elections now going
on. The most striking illustration of fraud comes
from Montana Wnen the leglSIatlVe session opened
at Helena Senator Whiteside announced that he had
been given $4,000 to purchase votes for w. A.
Clark candidate for the United States Senate and
in proof of his assertion laid before the Legislature
thirty $1,000 bills.
The Legislature ordered the money to be turned
into the State treasury and appointed investigating
committee The Grand Jury OF the county also took
up the matter. The results of the proceedings were
telegraphed yesterday. Clark was exoneraed by the
Grand Jury and Whitesde unseated in the Senate
by vote made up of members of both parties
On that showing it appears that one con-
cocted conspiracy against Clark, and in carrying it
put up 100000 evidence that he was engaged in
bribery. The fraud is bad if Clark himself had
been the briber, and exhibits in striking manner the
extent to which money is used in Senatorial contests
The State of Montana, having confscated the roll Of
$1,000 bills is to that extent richer but the disgrace
upon her Legislature and incidentally upon the Sen
ate OF the United States is too great to be gilded
by all the gold leaf that amount of money could
buy, no matter how thinly it were beaten out
There is but remedy for these evils, which are
now so widespread and which threaten even the New
England and Southern States. The mode of
electing Senators must be changed We must return
to the direct vote OF the people.
