=. CALL HEADQUARTERS, sACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 22.-There is more trouble
for Howard E. Wright This gentleman
will be remembered for a long time as the
one who accepted $3.50 from the manager
Of Grant on the supposition that he would
vote for the son of his rather. There was
involved in the transaction one particular
loan of $3.50.
Now Wright, having been duly persuad-
led, refused to stay in that condition of
mind. He bucked against the proposition
and went to Colonel Burns. All this has
heen fully exploited. At least ii caught
the attention of the Good Government
Club. and meeting was called for the
purpose OF expressing proper indignation
Statesman Sam Rainey presided and
Statesman Martin Kelly acted as secre-
tary. one OF the rules Of the club is that
a man who sells himself or refuses to
stay bought is unworthy 10 associate with
gentlemen. If he concludes not TO stick,
the only way in which he can square him
self is by refunding the cost price.
Word having reached the Good Govern
ment Club that Wright had gone back
on his bargain; righteous Indignation
jections to the sale, but the repudiation
stirred the club TO its depths.
HAS diplomacy reached so low a stage
as thls? queried Martin Kelly sorrow
fully, IF it has propose to summon my
club and denounce it. 1 will have purity
IN politics, or will get out of it"
Then he called the club together. While
he conceals his notes. the general facts
have leaked out. The purport of them is
Jnat Wright is a dead one; that he had
agreed to vote for Grant and received the
price. '--'
Il do not question" said Rainey. that
the price was rather low, but a bargain
IS "A bargain.
There was much discussion, and the
consensus of opinion was that even if the
price was low 1t was more than Wright
was worth Kelly himself prepared a
resolution; which was formally miro
Sie.i5 duced, to %, have the conduct of Wright in
.,tssi nestilga5ed by COLONEL Cochrane. This was
ried without a dissenting voice.

and expressing a regard for the sanctity
OF the sack, was applauded SO vocifer-
ously as 70 arouse the police, difficult
thing to do.
Colonel Coch@ne is still to be heard
from, but unless he shall sustain the feel
ing which permeates the club he will be
deprived of his title and thrown out.
Wright has violated the ethics of the
club, and. everybody knows 1t so well
there is no use trying to gloss over the
facts. A state of affairs sufficiently NAL
odorous to give Kelly qualms and to
chase Rainey into commissions must be
very bad. Wright had been repudiated by
decent people and seems to constitute a
class all by himself
A proposition was made to contribpte
the money to help Wright out of his
quandary, but it was voted down.
IF / could get that much for vote, y
said an obscure member, Il would feel
myself flattered, so l would This
seemed to be the general idea.
Then the meeting adjourned. 1t was a
moment of sadness. Kelly and Rainey
stood together at the bar.

other side.

Steam" said Rainey.
And they drank in silence. sorrow
rested upon them. The iron had entered
their souls. Wright has no friends left.
Some object to the bargain others think
the bargain all right. but the Good Gov
ernment Club doesn't like the moral in
solvency show in bargaining one way and
voting another.

AIMED AT THE SHELTERS.
of Shasta Projects a Legis-
lative Enactment.

REDDING, Jan. Pit is asserted here
that Code Commissioner Shanahan will
endeavor to have passed by the Legisla-
ture bill aimed at the operations of the
Mountain Copper Company at Keswich.
A great volume of smoke and fumes is
thrown off by the smelters and roasters
of this concern, and it is affirmed that
the smoke and poisonous gases are in
turing many orchards for miles down the
Sacramento River. Shanahan is the owner
of a large prune orchard near Anderson,
twelve miles south of Redding He as
serts that his trees have been damaged
and his crop considerably reduced.
If such a measure is introduced in the
Legislature it will be fought by practi-
cally the entire business interests of the
county. Copper smelling has raised
Shasta County to the first rank among
the mineral producing counties of the
State, and a blow at the great industry
will be considered as an attack on the
most vital interests Of the commonwealth.

Determined TO MAINTAIN
CORDIAL RELATIONS

LONDON, Jan. 23.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Times says: There are
good reasons for believing that the Ger
man Government regards the main
tenance of cordial relations with Great
Britain and the United States as far
more important than even German
CONNIE. cial interests in Samoa. The
tone of the leading journals. therefore,
is, on the whole, free from bitterness
or exaggeration.
In a word, there are many indications
that Germany will not Illustrate re-
vision of the treaty of Berlin by ex-
travagant demands such as. for in
stance, the cession of the islands to
Germany.
The Kolnische Zeitung ridicules the
report that DR.. Won Holleben. German
ambassador at Washington, has COM
planned of Berry's remarks in the
House Of Representatives and SAYS
that the United States ambassador in
Berlin, Mr.. White, might as well have
complained of Herr Ahlwardt's anti
American rawlings in the Reichstag.

tary of State Foster In the last days of
the Harrison administration that is as
applicable now as then:
THE people of Samoa read, in the
Berlin general act, that they have an
autonomous government and the right
to choose their own ruler. The country
will never be quiet until they have
made their choice. The tranquility of
the island and the happiness of it's peo-
pie lie in an election and not in an
armed following of Malietoa, who at
one time bowed the knee, his knee, to
Mataafa and publicly recognized his
right to the crown. The natives are
willing to abide by the result of this
ballot, whether it be Mataafa or Malie-
toa, but before paying another cent to
the present government this question
must be settled or the majority of the
natives will retire to the bush and fight
if necessary.
The Samoans cannot be disarmed
by force or Mataafa deported without
a great loss of life for they will fight
to the end. They have far more am
munitiOn than is suspected and in the
bush they could not be followed by
white troops. After three or four years
of good government they could easily
be disarmed by their own authorities.
Il do not think that Mataafa has any
intention of making trouble or that he
personally cares to be King. l fear,
however, that he will, even with his
influence, not always be able to keep
his men peaceful. The movement to
make him King of Samoa is a popular
one and 1 should be very sorry to see
the Government of the United States
take any part in enforcing an independ-
ent people to submit to a ruler whom
they do not respect"
And now history is repeating itself
In 1890 it was a struggle between Malie-
toa Laupepa, Mataafa and Tamasese
the former securing the Kingship by
the will of the powers, although Ma
taafa was the popular choice. In 1899
Malietoa Laupepa is dead and the
struggle is between his son, Malietoa
Tanu, Mataafa and Tamasese. Again
is Mataafa the choice of the natives
by an overwhelming majority, but
again the powers step in and Malietoa
Tanu is proclaimed King. And again
the warships of the three powers are
hurrying to the scene to back up their
choice. JOSEPH HANNA.
