VACANT OFFICES
IN SAN JOSE
Complaints Against the
Governor.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Sept. 15.-The politicians OF
this city and county are anxious to know
just when the Governor is going to give
his attention to a couple of vacancies eA-
listing In county offices. The citizens also
are interested. The Governor SO far has
paid no attention to their appeals and has
expressed no desire to hurry in the mat
ter.
The Supervisorship in the Fifth DIS.
trict has been vacant since the death OF
s. F. Aver, some four months ago. rms

district, as there is considerable ROAD
work in the district requiring immediate
attention.
Politicians, have kowtowed to the ex-
ecutive in behalf of their men, but with
out success. Even Senator Shortr1dge,
who is believed to be very close to the
Los Angeles man, has made several trips
to Sacramento in regard to the matter.
There are any number of suitable men
in the field. Fred Cottle has the support
of the Rea forces and Shortridge, and
seems the most likely candidate, In fact,
SO long has the matter dragged that many
have retired from the race.
1t is said that Assemblyman Walter
Clark of Mountain View has been given
he agrees to get in the Burns column at
the special session of the Legislature that
is likely to be called this winter. Clark,

FINANCES Low
At GARDEN CITY
Police and Firemen Will
Again Suffer.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Sept. 15.-There promises to
be another shortage of city finances dur
ing the present fiscal year. which COM
menced July /, and already steps have
been taken looking to curtailment In
the different city departments.
The fire and police departments, which
suffered such a financial cramp last year,
are to be the victims again this year.
This is due to the small apportionments
to be made for these departments. Last
year the members of the fire department
were compelled to work six weeks for
nothing and the police lost two weeks
salary In all probability the same thlng
will happen this year. Besides this, the
police and firemen will be compelled to
cash the warrants they do get at a dis
count with some broker, as for some
months there will be no available funds.
At the meeting of the Police and Fire
Commissioners next Tuesday two and
perhaps three policemen will be dropped.
There is also proposition being consid-
cred to reduce the salary of policemen
from SO to $40 per month. Even with this
cut there will not be enough money to go
around.
The city will also be tnconvenienced. At
present there are only fourteen patrol
men. and many believe that instead of
reducing the force it should be increased
about five men.
pay of the fire department.

WINTER AT OUR HOUSE.

Cold weather has no terrors for US
at least none that we can think of that
we have not recently enjoyed. During
the late blizzard the water pipes in our
kitchen gave way and also gave forth
water, The stop,and-waste refused
to work and even the cutoff at the
main had lost its Battle and refused
to respond to the touch of the water
company's dreaded key. All this time
the water continued its Tennyson's
brook racket and when we got home to
supper we found the kitchen floor
full of water and the air deep blueish
cast, Our cook was afraid to try the
ford, but was serenely floating around
the kitchen in the wood box and doing
her work in an up-to-date manner. Our
little ones, with that religious trait in
herited from their father, were casting
bread upon the waters to see il float.
The next morning this water was ice,
and in trying to cross for a pitcher Of
water we slipped and would have bro
ken u face, but We fell backward and
broke the pitcher and a hole in the ice
and have been standing up to eat evel
since. In our living room things are diff.
ferent. Here we have one of those de
lightful wood heaters that makes De
cember as pleasantas July, when they're
hot. Our wood was ice-covered slabs anC
it was no troubleto keepthe stove warm
not q bit, after we had punched q holC
in the bottom to let the water out at in
t~ervals. We run it on furnace schedule
in this manner by sitting up all night
but Sunday night it 'chilled" on u
and we had to draw the fire and cut on
the ice with our little Ratchet. Blu
perhaps you have troubles of your own
These are some of the ills the flesh i
air to in zero weather.

Resolutions Adopted by the Senate.

Washington, February 14.-At 2:35 a
vote was taken by the Senate ON the
Bacon amendment to the McEnery
resolution. The Bacon amendment
read;
"That the United States hereby dis
claim any disposition or intension to
exercise permanent sovereignty, juris-
distion or control over said islands and
assert their determination when a sta
BILE and independent government shall
have been erected therein entitled, in
the Judgment of the government of the
United States, to recognition as such,
to transfer to said government, upon
terms which shall be reasonable and
just, all rights secured under the ces.
sion by Spain, and to ~thereupon leave
the government and control of the Is.
lands to their people"
1t was defeated, 30 to 20, the Vice.
President voting in the negative.

Senator Mason, who talked against
the treaty, and then voted for it, may
have been somewhat pricked by his
conscience. At any rate, he pricked
some of his colleagues quite heavily,
in a speech he made concerning their
violation of an implied, if not an actu-
al agreement, hat the various resolu-
tons as to the Philippine policy of this
government, should be voted upon af-
ter the treaty was disposed of. He then
took the bit in his teeth and said that
he intended to keep the floor until the
Senate agreed to vote upon the Meme
ry resolution, which declares that this
government intends to follow the same
policy in the Philippines as in Cuba,
His threat brought the Senate to time,
and it was unanimously agreed to vote
on the McEnery resolution Tuesday
although Senator Hawley afterwards
tried to change that action. The reso.
luton carried by a vote of 26 to %.

each citizen be held responsible for his

One selfish and contrary man can keep

Secretary Alger did not recommend
the order for a Military Court of Inqui-
ry to assemble in Washington on We'd
nesday of this week, to investigate the
embalmed beef charges made by Gen.
Miles, issued by Mr.. Mckinley, but he
had to smile and appear to like it, be-
cause Mr.. Mckinley had been con-
vinced by mor level-headed advisers
that it was the only thing left for him
to do, if he hoped to escape being
charged with guilty knowledge of en-
balmed beef sold to the government.
General Eagan is acting as Ayers

Johnson City never shirks a duty and
always responds nobly to the call for
charity. At an impromptu meeting at
the mayors Office last Monday a COM
mittee was appointed to solicit aid for
the needy. In a short time 1872. 90 was
subscribed, paid, and all the families
in distress we're provided for and the

able people. May they live long and

Democratic Senators have not lessen
ed their opposition to the Hull army
bill, even a little bit, on account Of Mr..
McKinley's threats to call an extra SEES
sion of the next Congress, if the bill is
not passed by the Senate. They are
perfectly willing that the present regu-
lar army of 49, 600 men shall be contin-
ued for one year from next July, in
order that we mayhave whatever troops
that may be needed while we temper
arily control the Philippines and Cuba,
but they will go no further in helping
Mr., Mckinley push his imperialistic
programme. Senator Jones, of Ark.
said very emphatically:"we donot in
tend to allow a large standing army to
be permanently fastened upon this
country, and Senator Cockrell said:
"If the President will make the failure
of the Hull bill to pass the Senate, an
excuse for an extra session, he might
just as well prepare his proclamation
now. We do not fear an extra session.
1t would compel the republicans to
show their hand and outline their policy,
which is now concealed" Nearly all Of
the democratic Senators talk the same
way, which makes it reasonably certain
that the army bill will not get through
the Senate.

Representative Lentz, of Ohio, in q
short speach denounced Mr.. Mckinley
for committing the sentence Of Gen.
Eagan to suspension for six years, un.
der full pay. He said that Eagan had
called Miles a liar for simply telling
the truth, truth to which 80, 900 private
soldiers could testify that the troops
had been fed with rotten beef. And
that Mr.. McKinley's action really
amounted to rewarding Eagan for at
lacking Miles.
