Two Reasons.

Eds. Record Union: I infer from
the tone of your paper, and from the
general expressions ] hear from the peg
pie in various portions OF the State, that
both you and they think it the duty of
the Republican members of the Califor-
MIA Legislature to go into caucus, as
heretofore practiced by all parties, and
thus decide upon a candidate for United
States Senator, and break the deadlock
which is disgusting to the masses of
the party and people, and blockading
good legislation.
But you forget that there are two
paramount reasons = incontrovertible.
all-powerful, super-logical reasons
reasons convincing to the profoundest
logicians and statesmen, as well as to
the superficial time-server and yellow
journal theorist, why a caucus of the
Republican Senators and Assemblymen
should not be held and the people be
given a Senator in Congress. These rea-
sons are:
First-It has been asserted in certain
public print that the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company is in favor of a
party caucus and a final, speedy settle
ment of the Senatorial farce now being
icBt<ttCQ at iitOlL CNS1y Qdy cbl tile OLdte
Capitol. Therefore nobody but tool
of the railroad company will submit to
the edicts of a caucus. The anti-caucus
members, Notwithstanding the fact that
the majority are entitled to rule, are
convinced that the moment they go into
caucus the whole raft Of them will
be swallowed up by some magic ana
conda Of the railroad company.
Second-They remember little tabled
story of a man who had goose which
laid him golden egg every day. The
man finally concluded to kill his golden
egg layer and make a grand 'swoop"
os the entire deposit of oval treasure
at one time. and-behold his disappoint-
ment when he found the goose empty,
and his daily egg was a thing of the
past
History repeats itself. E. SOPP.

MEETING OF EDITORS.
CALIFORNIA; Press Association Takes
Action.

Action.
The Executive Committe of the Cali
fornia Press Association held a meet
ing IL this city yesterday afternoon
which was attended by a number of
members of the association outside of
the Executive Committee. The main
purpose of the meeting was to take
action in defense of the press of the
State against the unreasoning assault
being made upon it by certain members
of the Legislature, who have introduced
measures intended to throttle the lib
erty and injure the business of the
newspapers.
l. The various bills now pending before
the Legislature were discussed, and it
was evident to all that a general as
sault was being made upon the publish
ers Of newspapers. Committees were
appointed to present the facts to all
the newspapers in the association, and
to the members of the Legislature.
There are over $50 newspapers repre-
scented in the association, and they
should be able to WELD some influence.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, 1t has pleased an all-wise
coworker and fellow member, Charles
F. Montgomery of the County Paper"
at Martinez, who departed this life at
Antioch on February 10, 1899; therefore,
be. it
Resolved, That we bow in humble
submission to that divine law which
knows no alternative to "all things done
are for the BEST" that we mourn our
E,s@ l. L =
ranks of journalism are lessened by
one whose pen was righteous, whose
heart was without cordidness. and
whose soul shone with the sweetness
of justice to all;
Resolved, That, recognizing their
great bereavement and the loss to home
as we'll as to journalism, the Executive
Committee of the California Press As
ISOLATION hereby expresses its heartfelt
sympathy to the loving wife and son,
whose sorrows are without measure;
Resolved further. That this express
sion, Inadequate to the extent that we
should have words make it, be furnished
to the family of the deceased.
Among the editors present were:
George Francis of the Napa Journal;
w. D. Pennycook. Vallejo Chronicle;
Raleigh Barcar, vacaville Reporter;
Frank Owen, Winters Express: J. H.
Duncan and NJ. M. Nixon, Woodland
Mali; J. P. Bumgartner, Riverside

Bernardino Times Index" and James
A. Pitcher, Placer Herald
The meeting was presided over by
Raleigh Barcar, President of the asso-
citation.

also SO generally felt against all the
people, to never turn back in the road

On January 9th second proclama-
ton, purpOrting to have been issued

the visayas by force, their acts would
be considered as a declarationsof war,
and the FlipinDs would Immediately
begin their fight for independence. The
publication of this proclamation was
prohibited, as far as possible, in Ma

MIR. DONNELLY,S NEW BOOK.

The publication called Literature" of
New York, in its issue of March 18TH,
has this to say about Mr. Donnelly's new
book:
The CIPHER in the Plays and on the
Tombstone" is to be the title of Mr.. Ig-
natius Donnelly's new book now in the
press Mr.. Donnelly hopes that this work
will finally settle the controversy as to
the authorship of the so-called Shake
peare Plays. Having disposed of them.
Mr.. Donnelly will publish about three
months later another book entitled 'The
Cipher in the Ben Jonson Plays" in
which he will show that the Jonson Plays
were also written by Francis Bacon, and
that they contain cipher narrative set
ting forth that fact The author is so
confident of the success of these books
that he will print them at his own expense
and retain the copyright, both in America
and England.

GOOD NEWS.
FOSS HAS BOLTED.
The Member From Grant a Convert In
P0puliSm.

The fiery and untamed L. O. Foss. re-
publican member of the house from Grant
county. has renowned his allegiance to
the Republican party. His closest asso-
ciates in the house are the Popuist men,
bers, Martin and Plowman This, in con-
nection with his violent assaults on the
leaders Of his own party, has for some
time caused him to be suspected of lean
ing toward Populsm Foss has fathered
many measures intended to protect the
poor against unj Just taxation and to pun
ish the representatives of corporate greed
But all his bills have been voted down
by the Republican majority in the house.
Foss feels that he has been sighted and
derlded for his efforts in behalf OF re-
form, and he has arrived at the conclu-
sion that he cannot expect good govern
rnent through the Republican party in
this state, with such leaders as Dare,
Staples and Jacobson. He also charges
that lobbyists are at work corrupting the
legislature. For these reasons, and to

HIGH TAXES.

National Grange Master Oaron Jones,
OF Indiana, delivered speech March ID,
before the Industrial Commission in
Washington, D. c., in which he made the
following startling statement:
Mr.. Jones asserted that the farmer is
unfairly and inequitably taxed. One
fourth to third of the income of the
average farm in Indiana being necessary
to pay the taxes levied upon it. He sug-
gested legislation looking to uniformity
in taxation in the different states He
was favorable to uniform income tax,
but opposed the inheritance tax.
When third of the income of the
average farmer in Indiana is taken for
taxes it is pretty nearly confscation; and
if this thing goes on at the past ratio
for another fifty years the whole farm
ing population will be beggared, or there
will be an armed revolution to overturn
the results of such horrible misgovern-
ment. |. D.

LET HIM ALONE.

Bro. Donnelly is everlastingly pound
ing Jim Bowler, the head mixer OF the
states Dairy and Food Commission
Were it not for Donnelly's persistent
pounding of Jimmy he would not now be
the head mixer Of the state Let him
alone, Bro. Donnelly, let him alone! He
is not an issue now of any account If
Bowler wants his salary increased and
the powers that be are willing to grant
it, let him have it without any objection
But don't galvanize him into life again
every week by pounding him. Let him
alone, and the Head Mixer will never
be heard from again. Let him alone
Boen's Fergus Globe.
Bowler helped to disorganize the Peo-
pies party of this state, simply TO get a
fat Office; and when he got it he wanted
the salary increased from ST., 300 to S., 500;
and Brother Boon thinks we ought not
to object, but let him have it! The same
reasoning would apply if he wanted it
raised to 5000 or $4,000; and if all the
other officials followed suit!
That may be good Populism in Fergus
Falls, but it does not agree with our way
of thinking. The editor who consents by
silence to the robbery of the people is
not much better than the robber.
There isn't any private party in this
state who would hire Jim Bowler for $3.50
year; why then should the state pay
him ten times as much? Is that RE
FORM with big r?
The whole office of DAIRY and Food
Commissioner is humbug. 1t is fifth
wheel to wagon. 1t is of as much use
to the people as a pair of spectacles to a
kangaroo. 1t was simply created by the
Republicans to furnish a soft snap to one
of their hungry gang; and Bowler in
herited it because he was the hungriest
of the Fusion crowd
Will any OF Our readers tell us what
good the Dairy and Food Commission
er" has ever done to the state of Mime
sofa?
We pause for reply. Id.
