TURNING REPUBLICANS OUT

Stockton at the last municipal cleo
ton went democratic. The republi-
cans were in power before, and of
course the administration appointed
republicans to all Offices within their
control. When the democrats sue
ceeded in capturing the city govern
ment, they promptly turned their politi-
cal opponents out, aud thereby made
places for their political friends. There
was no long wait in the transaction OF
this very important piece of business.
They did not consider 1t polite to allow
the republicans to continue feeding at
the public crib any longer than they
could help, especially when democrats
anxious to gil such positions were wait.
ing around ready to be appointed. To
the credit Of the democratic admin
stration, be it said, they paid no heed
to the pressure brought to bear by in
terested parties to retain republican
officials, because they had faithfully
performed their duties. They believed
they could find democrat possessing
all the requisite qualifications for every
place they had to give, and they lost
no time in turning the republicans
down, and inviting their democratic
brethren to step up. Some republi.
cans are kicking because their party
friends are being fired to make room
for the supporters of the administra.
ton in power. But the Record, in de.
Tending these manifestations OF partisan.
ship, says:
Of course, a democratic commiss ion
appointed a democratic captain oil
police. Why shouldn't 1t? Who ever
expected otherwise? The republicans
are neither surprised nor disappointed.
The inevitable has simply taken place
that is all. The republicans expected
it. Had the republicans won the cleo.
ton. then repu blicans would be put in
positions. With the democrats in,
democrats are appointed.
And the Record has long way the
better of the argument. 1t would be
well II the powers that be-" in ANA
dor county would pattern after the
Stock tonian democrats in this regard.
There they seem TO understand that
the way to establish themselves in the
confidence of those who elected them is
to reward the members of their own
party. Here that lesson has only been
half learned. We hope our republi-
can administration will pull itself to-
gether and learn the other half before
it is too late. 1t is from the republi-
can element that they must look for
vindication. The sort of vindication
they will receive at the polls from the
democrats will not cut much of a figure
in their reelection in the face of dis
satisfaction within their own party
ranks.

Like a fash of lightning, sudden and
startling, disease strikes down many
man. Yet there have been warnings
upon warnings, unheeded. Food has
lain like heavy weight in the stomach
after eating. There have been belch-
ings, bitter risings in the mouth, nerv-
business, sleeplessness and growing irri-
liability. Instead of listening to these
warnings, recourse has been had to some
of the nerve numbing palliatives that
cover but never cure disease. Many
serious diseases begin in a diseased con-
dition of the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition. For such dis
eases there is one medicine which rarely
fails to effect a complete cure. DIR.

THE LICENSE ORDINANCE.

In another column will be found
ordinance No. 107, amending the ordin-
ance concerning the retail liquor bust
ness in Amador county. At the June
meeting of the board of supervisors,
ordinance No. LOG was passed relating
to this subject. This was intended to
amend the license system so that saloons
outside of town limits would be requir-
ed to pay the same license tax as
saloons within town limits, namely, SIS
per quarter. Upon examination, how
ever, it was found that instead of in
creasing the saloon license outside of
towns, it actually relieved them from
the payment of license altogether. 1t
operated in just the contrary direction
to what was desired. At the last meet
ing of the supervisors the omission as
pointed out by the Ledger article a
month ago, was recognized, and the
ordinance which now appears in these
columns was passed. This simply
throws the license system back to the
same footing it has occupied for so
many years. 1t is merely re-enact-
ment of that section of the old ordin-
ance which relates to saloon licenses,
and repeats all ordinances in conflict
Herewith. The liquor licenses, there
fore, remain the same as heretofore,
S15 per quarter for saloons within town
limits, and $3.50 for wayside saloons.
The provision requiring bonds in the
sum of $1,000 is also wiped out.
Amador ledger., 1901-07-12
MINERAL OUTPUT OF CALI
F0RNIA.

We are in receipt of the report of
State Mineralogist Lewis E. Aubrey,
purporting to give the yield and value
of the mineral products OF California
for the year 1900. The report frankly
admits that it is complied from re-
turns received at the State Mining
Bureau in answer to inquiries made of
produce We are inclined to the
opinion that the report is not very re-
liable. So far as the gold product is
concerned it is probably correct, as
nearly all the gold finds its way to the
government mint and Selby's, and
there is not much difficulty in getting
fairly accurate estimates. But with
some of the products it is otherwise.
Take the product of Amador county,
for instance, in marble. That large
quantities OF marble of excellent quality
exist in this county is well known.
But 1t is not so well that the marble
industry has been developed here to
such an extent as to give Amador not
only prominence in this line, but a
monopoly. Amador is credited with
having produced in 1900 marble to the
value of 1891. And that is just the
total value OF all the marble produced
in the state, This value ia represented
in an output of 4103 tons, which will
give value of S1.44 per ton. Are we
to believe that not a ton of marble was
produced in California last year outside
of Amador county. And more thar
this, that Amador marble can be pro.
duced for less than s1.5O per ton. Ger.
tainly it cannot be shipped out OF the
county for any such price. 1t costs
more than that sum to get it from the
quarry to the nearest railroad depot.
The people of Amador county were not
aware that there was any unusual
activity in the marble industry last
year. Indeed, they were under the
impression that this business was
dormant-as it has been for years
owing to the cost of getting the pro
duct to market. They will be some
what surprised to learn that the repor
of the state mineralogist makes ANA
dor the only live county in the state il
marble production. According to THU
state document granite is worth about
So per ton, while marble is worth abou
one-ffth that price.
There are other statistics in tn,
report which tend to shake ones faitl
in its value. The statement that al
the mineral activity of California
producing according TO this authori
ty a total value of $32, 622, e45-i
carried on by the employment of %, e.
men is also open to question. Thi
would give an average production pc
man of oyer $3.50; and there is not, il
our opinion, a mining community il
the world that gives such higl
average. Statistics of this characte
possess very little value.
