ference Herewith is deemed blow
at our free institutions. Some things
which seem to have been raised
into settled policies during the last
few years, cannot have escaped the
atten tion of citizens We refer to
the method of having preliminary
matters before the committing mag
istrate attended to outside of the
regular court room, to the large per-
centage of defendants who for some
reason or another have been sent to
state prison on a plea of guilty, and
the comparatively small number of
those charged with crime who con-
clude to stand trial. Above all. it
has not escaped notice that in the
administration of justice, those who
plead guilty have been given a much
lighter sentence than those who
have decided to avail themselves of
their legal rights, and stand trial.
In behalf of this peculiar system of
Jurisprudence, it has been urged
that it is economical A criminal
trial in the superior court is costly,
and when plea of guilty is entered,
the defendant is entitled to leniency
on the ground of having saved the
public treasury the expense of a
trial Pressed to its ultimatum,
this argument means either that a
defendant who pleads guilty is en-
titled to reward in the shape of a
lighter sentence for so doing, or
that the defendant who concludes to
stand trial, and is convicted, should
be punished not only for his crime,
but also for putting the people to
the trouble and expense involved in
his trial. These propositions, we
have no hesitation in saying, not
withstanding they have had nolable
eXemplifications of late in the crimi-
nal annals of this county, are inno-
vations of a most dangerous char
acter, and are diametrically op-
posed to the spirit of the law. We
shall discuss these propositions at
length hereafter.

Total

In 1888 the levy for road and
bridge funds was II cents. These
were the good old times of district
road overseerS, who were cursed
from daylight till dark for not mend
ing the roads without money. With
an assessment roll of SO, 200, 900 the
total sum provided for road purposes
in those days was So, $40. With this
overfowing treasury they were ex-
pected to keep all the roads in the
county in good repair. Is it to be
wondered at that the road system
was voted fiat failure. The fact
is, it was actually starved to death
for want of nourishment. To have
raised the amount of money that we
now eXpend upon our roads would
have necessitated road levy of 10
cents on the 800. Another notable
feature is that we now levy fully one
third more for the school fund than
we did in those days. 1t cannot be
denied that the expense of keeping
up our local government might be
curtailed without detriment as re-
CARDS efficiency, by a wholesome
change in the laws; but the citizens
of to day will not look back to twenty
years ago as a model of good gov
ernment in Amador county.

The editor OF the lone Echo has
finally mustered up courage to inter
view Chris Hanson on the subject of
his registration controversy. And
this is what he says the stage driver
told him:
IF Webb had told the truth there
would have been nothing to print. !"
What wonderful interview.
What "a verdant interviewer. The
statement is a palpable absurdity.
1t implies an utter impossibility
even to omnipotence, inasmuch as
the two phrases are absolutely con-
Trajectory. 1t is fitting wind-up
of the Echo's antics on this matter.
We have heard of persons talking
much and saying little. The Lily of
the Valley has written lot on this
topic for instance, and said nothing.
But truth is sacred. 1t is the only
divinity in the universe in whose
presence all sentient beings must
bow in submission 1t is not within
the domain of possibility to tell the
truth and say nothing. The fact is,
Hanson has been disgusted with the
acrobatic performances of this news
paper clown, and when interviewed
handed him gold brick, which the
editor swallowed as the genuine
article. The stage driver proved
himself the smarter man of the two.
The editor should stick to his bubbles
and air castles. He is out of his
element elsewhere. The Ledger
frankly admits that it has wasted a
lot of space on nothing"

MISREPRESENTATION.

The Dispatch, in its frantic efforts
to meet the popu' 7 aversion to
monopoly in Office, cndeavors to turn
the argument against republican
candidates, and says:
Can it be possible that the editor of
the Ledger has overlooked the fact
that three of the candidates on the re-
publican ticket, to wit: j ohm Marchant
for assessor, S. G. Spagnoli for treas
urer and Geo. F. Mack for superin-
tendent of schools, have been in public
office for much longer time than any
democrat who is now in the court
house? The first two for eighteen
years, and the latter for sixteen years.
If this be so, why does he not use
the facts for all they are worth in
the interest of democratic candi-
dates. Bu. the Dispatch is merely
evading the issue, by trying to Gre
ate an impression which he knows is
not true. The statement is false in
point of time, and utterly and in
tentionally misleading in its spirit.
Geo. F. Mack was school superin-
tendent from January, 1887, until
January, 1899-twelve years. His
salary was $500 per year. So that
the sum total of his salary during the
entire period footed up just about
equal to what the present sheriff and
tax-collector has received in one
single year. The superintendent
office was such a bonanza in those
days that he had to teach school as
well 10 order to exc out living for
himself and family, and hire deputy
to look after Office duties during his
absence. j. Marchant has held the
office of assessor one term, that is
the only time that he has appealed
to the people of the entire county
for their suffrage. Prior to that he
was supervisor of township two for
fifteen years, at salary of $400 per
year, and mileage as road commits
sioner for portion of the time. It
is this service as supervisor that our
contemporary has to ring in to try to
offset the objection to further con-
tinuance in Office of chronic place
hunters who have sat in the court
house so long. Of Mr.. Marchant, it
may be said that the total salary he
has received amounts to little in ex-
cess of the emoluments drawn from
the people by the sheriff and tax
collector in eighteen months. On an
average one democratic official has
received per month as much as the
other has received per year.
S. G. Spagnoli has been county
treasurer for two terms-of four
years each. Prior to his assuming
a county position he was justice of
the peace at Clinton for number of
years. This Office was accepted by
him merely to fill out the ticket, and
comply with the law requiring two
justices for each township. We
venture to say that the income of the
office did not average one dollar a
month for the entire period. The
Dispatch is certainly in a bad way
when it seeks to befog the issues of
this campaign by resorting to such
miserable subterfuges for argument

J. W. Caldwell made trip to San
Francisco last week, returning Mon
day evening. He will at once enter
upon the work of a thorough and
earnest canvass of the county as re-
publican candidate for district at
torney. We commend him as
worthy of the support of every re-
publican. He has been a practitioner
of law in Jackson for years, and is in
every way qualified for the position
he seeks. He has independence of
character to discharge the duties of
the district attorneys Office accord
ing to his own views of the law. We
believe that any man, who is pos
sessed of the mental qualifications
for the district attorneyship, is less
liable to err by following the dictates
of his own judgment, with the letter
of the law before him, than by pur-
suing any other course. The voters
should rally to the support of J. w,
Caldwell for district attorney.

FOR CONGRESSMAN.

j. f. Glllett, who halls from Hum
bolt county-by long odds the ban
ner republican county in this dis
trict-has started out to make his
canvass for congressional honors in
the first district. His democratic
competitor is from Nevada county.
The district is strongly republican.
The argument that is being and will
be used on the democratic side, is an
appeal to elect represen tative from
the mining region. This plea is
specious, and should have no " sight
with republicans in the mining coun-
ties. Mr.. Gillett is very able man.
and can represent every interest in
this district, To attempt to create
class irritation between the mineral
and other industries in the district
is suicidal policy. Mr.. Gillett can
do as much in congress for the min
ing industry as the man from
Nevada. We want broad gauge
man-one who is incapable of ar
raying one section against another;
and above all we want one who is in
sympathy with the national policy
of protection. Gillett is that kind
of a man. No true republican will
hesitate to give him his active
support.

CAMERA
Club to Have a
Big Show.
New Club Rooms Are
First-CIass.
The Exhibit Will Wait Their For.
NAL Opening.

For several weeks past the Akron
Camera club has been working on its
new quarters, remodeing the gallery
in the Hall block, corner Howard and
Market SITS, and fitting it up for club
headquarters which are better adapted
to the requirements of II first class
camera club than any quarters they
have occupied before. The club now
has commodious and well-lighted ex-
hibition hall with an abundance of
wall space for the display of pictures,
work room fitted with lockers, ta-
bles, benches, drying racks, washing
tanks and all necessary appliances for
the convenience of the members in fin
ishing their pictures. An important
and hitherto unavailable feature of the
club rooms is the skylght. This is
one of the largest in the city and Is set
in large and well appointed operat-
ing room. Here the members can take
up portrait work with all its problems
of posing, lighting, etc, with chances
of success which they never had be-
fore.
The dark room is large and fitted with
every convenience. Another feature of
thc place is the enlarsing room. Here
the amateur can make from his small
negative, pictures of any size which
may suit his fancy.
In order to give the public a better
idea of the scope of the work being
done by the Akron Camera club along
art lines and to show what the camera
is doing for art in other parts of the
country the club has prepared an ex-
hibiton free to the people, which will
he opened in the club rooms Monday,
March 81, and will continue for one
week open every day and evening.
J The work of the committee who pre-
pared and collected the pictures in this
exhibition has been well done. There
are pictures on the walls which were
hung in the Photographic salons of both
Chicago and San Francisco this year,
and many of tie best camera artists
in this country are represented. Here
then Is an opportunity to judge by COM
parison how well the members of the
Akron Camera club have succeeded III
giving artistic expression to their pic
lures. The members of the Akron club
have been recognized abroad in many
competitive exhibitions and their work
is often sought by the leading photo
graphic journals.
The greater part of this exhibition is
given up to the loan collections, but
the work of the home club is such
that comparison with other good work
emphasizes its pictorial quality.
