Cost of Government.

An ingenious Englishman has fgur-
ed out the cost of an hour Of govern
Ment since the beginning of the CEN
fury. In France the figures show an
alarming tendency to increase. Under
Napoleon an hour of government cost
lis, 900 francs; under Louis Philippe,
$50, 900; under the second republic, 1O3,-
900; under Napoleon Ill, 249,0 O0; from
1870 to 1880, 3O7, 900, on ccou of the
raising of the average by the cost of
the wal with Germany, but from 1880
to 1890 the cost was 403, 900 francs an
hour. A French paper remarks that
this seems to prove the undesirability
of paying a government by the hour or
by the day. Payment by the piece,
according to the work done, is the only
way, it thinks.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations. please

Senator MorehouSe made most i'm
passioned plea against the passage of
the bill. He said that the constabulary
and the police of the State had time and
again been guilty of arresting worthy
persons on the charge of vagrancy and
before jury no such allegation could
ever be sustained. The Senator stated
that the bill was one of the most dan

started and took the initiative in this
matter of obliterating the rights of
every citizen which are guaranteed him
by the constitution, what would the end
be? Would it result finally in the
passage of law whereby, in order to
be able to secure trial by jury, a de-
PENDANT must possess a certain sum of
money or property? This was, in the
mind of Senator Morehouse, the direc-
ton the bill took and he was unalter-
ably opposed to it.
Senator Cutter contended that it was
only the guilty man who demanded a
trial by jury. Innocent men were all
ways willing to submit their case to the
judgment of the courts. However, the
Senator stated that it was his intention
to vote against the bill, as he consid-
cred it to be unconstitutional.
Senator Gillette, the chairman of the
Judiciary Committee which committee
had reported the bill favorably, made
plea in favor of it's passage. He agreed
with Senator Smith that the principle
involving the right of trial by jury was
not assailed by this bill from the simple
fact that it gave courts the right to
dispose of petty cases without going
to the trouble of securing jury.

the possibility of his ever voting for
Burns on the strength of or because
pressure was brought to bear upon

any man whom Colonel Burns may Sc
lect for the purpose of debating to me
as to whom l shall vote for for United

County is concerned, I know that the
sentiment of the voters there is over
whelmingly against Burns.
when you get down to Yolo County
where Burns has lived for years and
years, I feel confident that it would be
impossible to secure the vote or pledge
of majority of the citizens there in
Burns favor. He has friends at Wood

for number Of years, and where he
yet has large property interests. But

know that the people have no desire to

CITIZENS RIGHTS
SAVED BY ORATORY
A Bill to Deny Migrants Trial
by Jury Brings Out Yigor-
Gus Protests.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 3.-There was a flow of
eloquence in the Senate this afternoon
which offered a great opportunity for
the word painters to get to the front,
and they did not fail to avail them
selves of the great chance which Sen
ator Mutt had opened UP to them by
the introduction of the following bill,
which has the effect of denying to
Migrants the right Of trial by jury.
"a trial by a jury may be waived by
the consent of both parties expressed in
open court and entered in the docket.
In cases of vagrancy, disturbing the
peace and other similar petty offenses
the court may summary proceed to
trial and judgment without jury. The
formation of the jury is provided for
in chapter l., title 3, part 1, of the Code
of Civil Procedure"
When the bill came up on second
reading Senator Charles M. Shortridge,
the oratorical giant of San Jose, arose
in his seat and for full five minutes
charmed the Senators and spectators
with his eloquence. Senator Shortridge
in substance spoke as follows:
ITO think that member of this
Senate should rise in his seat and make
a proposition to deny to any citizen or
inhabitant of this country the right of
trial by jury brings to my cheeks the
blush of shame, when 1 contemplate the
fact that 1 am also a member of that
same body. The inalienable right. of
every citizen of this country to trial by
Jury is guaranteed to them by the Fed
eral constitution, and our forefathers
fought and died to sustain it, The fact
that we should to-day attempt to elm
mate this right seems to me a gross
outrage"
Senator Morehouse made a strong
speech against the bill, as did also Sen
ators Davis and Sims.
Senator Smith of Bakersfield made an
extraordinary argument In favor of
the bill. He took the ground that If the
right of trial by jury were abrogated as
to the petty offenders against the law

notice that he proposed to speak upon
the bill, and pending it's consideration
the Senate adjourned.
This measure was introduced by
Senator A. e. Mutt of San Diego, and
when asked about it he said that it was
sent to him from the City Attorney of
San Diego and he had introduced it at
his request He further added that he
knew nothing about the bill and was
inclined to oppose it.
Senator Shortridge in conversation
said: THE present vagrancy laws are
not applied to the parties whom it is
designed they should reach Men who
live off the earnings of abandoned
women are never or seldom arrested
on charge of vagrancy, yet it is a
palpable fact that they come within the
limit of the law. Some poor devil with
out money or friends, who would be a
good honorable man if he but had the
opportunity to obtain work, is arrested
on vagrancy charge by some fee
chasing Constable and made to suffer"
