WIGS PEACEFUL ~ REIGN.

tory in their efforts to justify Eng
fish rapacity and cruelty is proven
bal. Every war is claimed to be
an unavoidable emergency in the
march of civilization and liberty,
and it is sought to give the impress
sion that England prefers and
strives for peace, that her good
Queen abhors and opposes war, and
since the jubilee celebration of her
coronation she has been lauded as
the kind-hearted monarch whose
reign of sixty-two years has been a
period of peace and progress to
England and mankind. The echo
is taken up by our Anglomaniacs,
and on each recurring birthday an
niversary of the good Queen Amer
leans are regaled with praises in
verse and prose of Queen Victoria
Long and Peaceful Reign"
Of course, as usual in everything
English, the facts of history are
ignored, even misstated, to suit the
purpose in view; for it is a fact
that the reign of Queen Victoria,
instead of being one of peace, has
been a period of war and prepare
tions for war during the entire
sixty-two years, costing England
thousands of lives and millions of
money, besides the enormous de-
struction of lives and property and
cost entailed upon other people;
tribes and nations have been deci-
mated, some exterminated, if not in
actual warfare, as a result of Eng
lish rule. The peace of the world
has been almost continuously dis
turbed, its commerce and progress
hampered, its sense of justice
shocked and its humane instincts
Mortified during all the long reign
of Queen Victoria-since 1887.
Though all done in the name of
civilization and liberty, it has really
retarded the one and destroyed the
other as far as possible. A brief
resume of England's wars since
1887, and reflection on their imme-
date and subsequent results, fully
demonstrate this truth. Wherever
English arms have triumphed na-
tional and individual liberty have
been crushed, by determination if
necessary, and all foreign commerce
excluded-the right to live and
prosper being denied to all save the
English-except where powerful
nations have forced relaxation of
England's arbitrary and selfish
regime.
England's wars during Queen
Victoria's reign of peace, 1887 to
1899, cover a period of thirty-six of
the sixty~two years, and have cost
England for actual war expendi-
lures $I,3o5, 900, 900 and $4,000
soldiers killed in action, besides the
thousands who died of wounds and
disease and those crippled and dis
abled. The losses of property to
individuals and the nation as a
whole are beyond estimate.
Inc wars OF England during
Queen Victoria's peaceful reign
were:
1837-1838-Rebellion in Canada.
1840-1S42-Chinese opium" war.
ls40-Egyptian ports bombarded.

One of the most delightful euchre
parties of the season was held in honor
of Miss Theresa Sanford at the resi-
dence of her parents, 1884 West Madi-
son street. Handsome prizes were won
by Miss Susie Lintner and Fred Plamp,
Miss Theresa Kast and Emil Zeller and
Miss Ruby Shaw and George Gathof.
A merry party, consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Jarvis, Mr.. and Mrs. Ober-

Mrs. Cy. Thenault aud Miss Coomes met
at the elegant home of Mr.. and Mrs. R.
E. Fleming on the evening of the 10Th
to give royal welcome to the meteors
that never came. However, all expressed
themselves willing to wait another year, so
pleasantly spent were the evening and
early morn hours.
There is no more charming hostess in
the city than Mrs. R. E. Fleming, of 512
West Oak street. Genial, hanpsome and
witty, the ''rosy hours on golden wings
fly" only too quickly away. A more
courteous gentleman or a truer faiend
than Mr.. Robert Fleming does not swear
by the L. and N. railroad. We do not
know at whose home a more pleasant
time can be spent than at the house of
these clever people.

INJUNCTION ISSUED.
Assessor Berkey Restrained From
Selling Property.

Through it's attorneys, Catlin, Shinn
& Catlin, Reclamation District No. o5'
yesterday brought suit in the Superior
Court to restrain Assessor Berkey from
Selling or selling the machinery on
buildings of its pumping plant for
taxes which it is claimed were levied
unlawfully.
Judge Hughes issued the injunction
and the case will probably be given a
hearing in a few days.
The complaint sets forth that in
March last the Assessor made a pre-
tended assessment against the ma
chinery affixed to the land of the dis
'trict, fixing it's value at $1,000, and
fixing the value of the buildings at
$500. on which he claims the amount
of $500 taxes.
The plaintiff alleges that the assess
ment was not made or entered upon
the general assessment roll or book OF
Sacramento County, but is made upon
q separate book or roll of personal
property only: that the regular as

HOW 1T WAS DONE.
Athletics Downed the Colusa Base
ball Team.

The Sacramento Athletic Club Base
ball Club of this city returned from CO.
lusa yesterday morning highly elated
, at the outcome Of their game with the
strong Colusa team. The game was
| record breaker for that section and
was won by the Sacramentans by the
narrow margin of to l. 1t was Am
Shields three base hit with two men on
bases, that did the trick and it was
Will Newbert's great one-handed stop
of a hot drive, which resulted in a rat
Ting double play, that saved the day
for the Athletics.
| Colusa turned out en- masse to wit
ness the game, the largest attendance
| of the season being present, and each
and every spectator was a dyed-1n-the-
wool rooter for the home team. and
they used their utmost endeavors to rat
tie the athletes in the latter part of
the game.
Frank Newbert pitched record break
ing ball, not hit being scored off his
delivery and but four balls were batted
outside of the diamond by the Colusa's.
| Owing to high wind and the fact that
the umpire would not give him the
corners of the plate when he cut them,
he was rather wild, giving six bases on
balls and hitting three batsmen He
was given superb support, and the
clock-like work of the visitors won
much applause from the grand stand.
Beveille, the pitcher of the Colusa
team, is said to be young Hercules
and he has speed to spare in addition
to fine out drop ball. He struck out
fourteen of the Sacramentans, and IN
the eighth inning, after the first three
men up had hit safely, he struck out
the next three batsmen. Hanson
caught a fine game and the remainder
| of the team had but little to do on easy
| chances. The seventh inning is con-
sidered the lucky inning for Colusa and
the fans began to root with might and
main in that inning. The first man
up was retired by Wisman after a
great running catch of his foul fly and
the next batter was safe on an error.
Then pandemonium broke loose. The
spectators thought their chance had
come so they yelled and stamped and
stamped and yelled, but without eff
| feet, as Newbert was as steady as a
clock and the fans realized that they
We're up against the real thing. In
the third inning F. Newbert hit safely
and Will NeWbert was given base on
balls, and both scored on Shields beau
| tiful drive for three bases. In the
fourth Winters was hit by pitched
! ball, and two bases on balls filled the
| bags, and he scored on a wild pitch.
! The Sacramento boys are unanimous
| in saying that they were never before
| treated as literally and courteously as
! by the Colusa people before and after
the game, and many a person in that
town cannot speak above a whisper to-
day The following is the score of the
game:

SIGNAL CORPS SMOKER.
Reception to Corporal Frank Rus
sell Last Night.

The Signal Corps gave reception
last night at the Armory to Corporal
Frank Russell, formerly a member of
the corps and later a member of the
First Company of the u. S. Signal
Corps, who has recently returned from
Manila.
There was a full attendance of the
members and a number of visitors,
among them being Colonel Bangham,
Assistant Adjutant General. The af-
fair took the form of smoker, with
some excellent music, and was a very
enjoyable one.
Corporal Russell was welcomed In
behalf of the corps by Captain Martin,
who introduced him to the assembly.
Mr.. Russell, in plain, unaffected lam
guage. gave a graphic description OF
affairs in Manila and his work while
there. IIe said that with Captain
Lawrence, his superior officer, he had
been largely engaged in photographing,
and they had taken 800 negatives O.
the country and the various engage
ments.
He gave a description of the insults
our boys had to put up with from the
how every effort was made to make
them become the aggressors. he
thought the Filipinos made the attack
under a mistaken idea that the peo-
pie have favored their independence
and that if our soldiers could be shut
up in the walled town of Manila by
them, they would speedily send werd
home asking to be withdrawn.
He pictured the ring of firing that
surrounded our troops on the night or
the outbreak, and said that the ma
tives evidently expected the Americans
to withdraw and rest when daylight
came. as the Spaniards had done i'll
similar cases, and We're surprised at the
pursuit the next morning. His re-
marks on this and succeeding battles
were very interesting and listened to
with much attention.
