HORSESHOEING BILL IN TROUBLE
The horseshoeing bill is in trouble.
The Senate asserted its amending pre-
rogative when the bill as passed by
the Assembly came before it, and
struck out three little words, thereby
making the Act apply to the entire
State instead of a few favored locali-
ties. But the Assembly, while it &C.
cepts much, drew the line when 1t
came to amending the much-talked-
about horseshoeing bill, and refused to
concur. And now Conference Com
mitee will get together and hand in
some kind of a report, which as it is
binding upon nobody, will cut but little
figure.
THE OTHER SIDE.
In view of the fact that some of the
newspapers of the State have been loud
in their abuse of Senator Simpson, who
recently changed his vote from Bulla
to Burns, it will be interesting to note
few of the many letters received by the
Senator from Republicans throughout
the State
In a postscript to letter written by
Frank Domingues, the fluent orator of
Los Angeles, is the following:
"Give my respects to Colonel Burns
+1II LII L. or
friends to-day than ever, and to COM
mand me when 1 can serve him.
Jacob Sharp, a member of the Com
mon Council of Santa Barbara, wrote
as follows:
Il have just been reading an account
of your change of vote in the Los An
geles Times If you fail to make them
retract or fail to sue them for criminal
libel you will disappoint your friends.
Din it, 1 am mad enough to demand
satisfaction myself"
W. ]. Hurley of San Francisco also
writes a notable letter, in which he
commends Senator Simpsons action in
changing to Burns.
Attorney W. W. Allen, ST., Of San
Francisco wrote as follows:
MANY thanks from an old veteran
soldier who served four years with
Grant and Sherman, and forty years in
the Republican party for your brave.
true Republican stand for the salvation
and honor of the party of this State.
Never mind the BLACKBOARD billingsgate
vendors of the Cali and Chronicle
style. All good Republicans will honor
your name and action. Please bear my
congratulations to Colonel Burns
John S. Cox, a prominent real estate
tor Simpsons home, wrote a kind letter,
commencing the latter's course in exer-
cising his right to vote for the man
of his choice. In conclusion Mr.. Cox
wrote: -
Il believe that D. NJ. Burns, if elect
ed. will make a good Senator, and will
be able to do and to get more for the
State than any man mentioned up to
Tic piSStll lIule. btllcNlliS lHlS lIOtl
the bottom of my heart, I wish Mr.
Burns godspeed.''
THE GRIPSACK BRIGADE.
The Assembly's yesterday morning
quorum, which was only one more than
the indispensable forty-one, melted
away with each outgoing train, mem
bers folding their gripsacks and steal
ing silently away, with one eye on the
Assembly clock and the other on Dib-
BILE. who had announced that he would
hold an afternoon session. And he did
Dibble. Caminetti. Works, johnson.
Brooke and faithful few remained,
and, like the Old Guard, they might
die, but while they lived they would
continue to do business at the cid
stand. The result was that a couple
of dozen bills were dug up from the
second reading file and gotten into
shape, with their accompanying amend
ments for presentation to- the House on
third reading
FROM HIS EXCELLENCY.
The Governor was not neglectful of
the Assembly yesterday. The message
on finance was sent conformity to SEN
ate and House. but especial messag as
to the House contained his disapproval
of the bills for a sewerage plant at
Folsom and for municipal hospitals. All
are given in full in another column of
this issue.
EDUCATIONAL.
The Committee on Education held
meeting with a full house. in the AS
sembly chambers at noon yesterday.
Professor Murphy of San Francisco ac-
companied by several teachers of that
city were present to ask the committee
that A. B. 639, committee substitute
bill, should he so amended as not to
affect the tenure of office of San Fran
cisco teachers. They succeeded in their
object SO we'll that Conrey of Los An
geles was yS. cointed to prepare an
amendment according to their request
and one which should not lead to spe-
cial legislation. This will, SO says Co.'S
per of the committee, without doubt be
adopted.
At the same meeting the committee
agreed to recommend that Robinson's
