The effort made by the joint session
Of the Legislature yesterday to elect a
successor to Senator Stephen M. White
ended in failure. The Senators stood
sturdily on the ground taken Tuesday
at the preliminary ballot, and not
shift was made.
When the vote Of the Assembly was
polled it was found that both Burns
and Grant gained one each, while
Knight was one shy. The change was
rather complicated. Chynoweth, who
during the Tuesday ballot was absent
got into the Grant camp with his vote.
and Jilson, who on Tuesday voted with
the Grant faction, swerved over the
line and got in the Burns ranks. Then
Marvin who had voted for Knight On
the preliminary ballot, Joined the Grant
forces
Last night, as has been the case ever
since the Legislature assembled, the
friends and adherents Of each candi-
date were claiming gains for their IA
vorites, but SO far as could be learned
there was no serious indications Of
stampede in any direction, and it be-
gins to look as though the regular order
of business will be a deadlock. The
wise ones predict that to-day's ballot
and from now on a ballot must be
taken at noon. daily, until an election
is had-will not materially differ from
that taken yesterday.
The Democratic members caucused
last evening, and it is reported that
the usual "hot time" was had Five
or six Democrats declined to attend ard
are therefore not bound by the caucus
rule, and members are wondering just
where they will be found when the
roll is called to-day.
The caucus, however, agreed to vote
for NJ. F. Tarpie to-day, for William
H. Afford tomorrow, and for John H.
Seaweu of Mendocino on Saturday,
provided the Republicans do not in the
meantime, reach an agreement and
elect somebody.
THE PIE COUNTER
In the Senate last evening, Cutter
introduced a bill amendatory of the
Act relating to employees of the Legis-
lature, commonly known as the BEL
shaw Act" The Belshaw Act reduced
the number of employees for each house
fully three-fourths, and gave knock
out blow to So and other fatty per
diem jobs. Cutters amendment, the
text OF which will be found in another
column, while 1t does little along the
line of recreating SS-a-day Jobs, adds
many statutory positions, and throws
wide the door for the hungry army"
The door, when the bill passes, will be
wide open.
NO IDLE MOMENTS.
Besides it's work with the joint con-
vention the Assembly did a very good
business yesterday at the old stand, and
the preliminary steps toward making
Ill new laws were accomplished N the
introduction and first reading of that
number of bills.
introduced a measure appropriating
$4,000 for erecting a Governors Man
sion on the State Capitol grounds.
Wade Of Napa, offered Concurrent
Resolution In line with the contention
that the Record Union" has persist
emily made-that the counties which
have begun or intend beginning suits
against the State Controller to recover
money paid to the State should lessst
as such suits will benefit only the at
torneys and greatly impoverish the
counties.

deeo Couple Beaten

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. MertE,
an old German couple who live just
north Of town, was invaded las Friday
night by a couple of ruffians and the
old people were shamefully abused in
an effort to make them give up their
money. The ruffians, after beating
Mr.. Mertz almost into insensibility
and choking Mrs. Mertz, seemed to
get frightened and left the place.
The aged couple are not seriously
hurt, but were badly scared.
Such dastardly Williams should be
hunted down by the authorities at
any cost and as soon as found turned
over to committee Of citizens. We
are in favor Of law and order, but we
believe the quickest and best way to
make law respected is by little sum-
mary treatment of few such coward
ly whelps as these parties are. There
seems to be nothing that strikes ter
ror to the heart of a criminal like the
thought of dangling at the end of a
rope between heaven and earth.
Such crimes are becoming entirely
too prevalent, and with willy lawyers
and sympathetic juries the chances
of escaping an adequate punishment
fU the Nervousness of the offense,
make criminals boiler every day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mertz are two as hon
est and inoffensiye people as live in
any community. They live alone on
a little farm Of their own, are indus
trious and frugal, and were apparent
ly perfectly contented with their lot
in life. This villainous treatment
will necessarily render them nervous
and discontented. The arrest and
severe punishment Of the perpetrators
of the crime alone will give them a
jttle peace OF mind, and afford the
community some security from repe-
tition of the offense.

Like flakes of snow, will hover round
your eyes,
And melt upon your cheek, turned from

How shall 1 love you, gomez From your
curved mouth
A Thousand dreams fed to my soul
and hid;
A thousand hopes stole from your lift
To make my ways like valleys of the

There is no fear. nor any loneliness;
Only sweet thoughts upon the wind
blow free;
Meath the ripe sun, still raptures
confess,
Knowing the path you went leads back

IT is the worlds opinion that Bri-
tain must inevitably win. No one be-
lieves that the Transvaal can do more
than make it a long stubborn fight.
The Beers have won SO far and the
world is watching their struggle.
France and Germany are anxious for
anything to happen that will injure
their long time enemy, England; Aus
tria has troubles of her own; Italy does
not know or care one way or the other;
old Spain Is sick of war and talk of war.
The United States is neutral and divid-
ed in its sympathies, while all Eng
land is up in arms. ALI of them ex-
cept the United States have an inter-
est in South Africa that affects the ma
tional pocket book. The Transvsal
war will give history big jog.

generosity and RaIlantry upon the JAM
eson followers, that, when as prisoners,
they were being led from Hengersdorp
to Pretorig, Comic was greeted with
the heartiest OF English cheers as he
passed them on the road, q well-deserv-
ed tribute to the victor for his humani
ty toward the vanquished.
He speaks ill-sdvisedly who speaks
now of an easy British victory in the
present struggle. Even the engage
ments already fought are quite likely
to assume different aspect when the
facts are CLEANED from other than Bril-
fish sources. AS fact, the British
hav not yet come into actual contac
with real Boer army. The genuine
OF bis own country.
The forces really engaged in the
battles thus far fought are, If 1 am
correctly informed, chiefly Germans
and French. The genuine Boer, I'M
der Jourbet and Cronje, is yet to be
heard from. When heard from he will
be found upon the defensive upon his
own soil, or, If attacking, doing so only
when success Is assured.
The conflict, too, upon Boer soil,
will have some bitter surprises for the
British. AS q bush-whscker the Boer
1s well-nigh invincible, and BUSH
whacking will be forced upon the in
vaders.
The spirit and bravery of the Boer,
too, are of the highest type, while his
contempt for the British is deep-seat-
ed.
Shortly after the Jameson invasion 1
heard two sturdy burghers at Pretoria
discussing the English flag. One of
them maintained thati it was white
flag, while the other declared it was
red, white and blue. To settle the
controversy the former finally protest
ed: "Well, know; for 1 have been in
three wars with the English and have
seen the white flag flying over them in
every battle.''
