Presentation of Resolutions.

While the fire, which destroyed the
old Scranton Street Baptist church,
was still burning the members Of the
First Welsh Baptist church met and
offered to the homeless congregation
the use Of their church building, which
offer was thankfully accepted.
For almost three years the hospital
ity and brotherly friendship of the sis
ter church was enjoyed, and now that
the First Baptist church people are
enstalled in their own new and beauti-
full home they desire to express in a
substantial manner their appreciation
and respect.
They have invited the members of
the members of the First Welsh Bap-
tist church to meet with them this

Baptist church when the following
programme will be carried out:

SANTA CLAUS.
BY CHAS. IS. BELL,

Old Santa Claus rose from the sleep of year,
And looked at the sky that was frosty and
clear.
nose,
And said: why, my stars how time fairly
towSr
So he grabbed up wand that held magic
within,
That contained every kind of conceit and of sin
And with breath of a bellows he blew on his
wand,
When two reindeer came bounding DER bright
golden sand:
Hold just moment" he said to the deer,
TIL brush out the rubbish that's caught in
my ear"
So brush at his ear, and with jump like a roe,
He lit in the sleigh and bade reindeer to go.
Away went the deer, like the shooting of light.
And made the sleigh ring at the dead of the
night,
Till they reached great church with steeples
so high,
AS if it were seeking the bounds of the sky,
Bang! "cutl ,hot, and the deer stopped so
quick,
That it almost threw Santa Claus out on the
brick,
When out of the sleigh he sprang like Il deer
Saying, I'll enter and leave a few little things
here.'
So he drew himself out as slender as thread,
And down through the gas-pipe the willy scamp
sped
He flew round the tree rs swift as a wasp.
And put on the packages he brought through
the frost.
He put on package for Arthur A. Jones,
That contained nothing better than sugar and
bones;
The bones were disgusting the sugar was sour,
And Jones stood and cursed for nearly an hour
He put on a doll for Miss Martha c. Platt,
Aud chuckled, "Betwix them its now tit-for-
tat"
Miss Platt with disgust, and coquettry grace,
Said, ''she wished she could throw the vile
thing ir !; we q"
A self cocl;i ng pistol he put on for q boy
That never had ought his time to employ;
And when told that such things would surely
do harm,
Replied with a chuckle, They were only a
charm"
a sllk-hat he put on for parson b. Wood
To make him feel happy, as we'll as look good
And for Mrs. Wood, he put on q shawl,
That would cover her up head feet, and all;
And for the dear babies, with cheeks rosy red
He put on a charm that would send them to
bed
And candy he hung all over the tree,
As thick and as NICE and as sweet as could be
Then he danced like the genfi three times
round the floor
And whispered: Good bye 1 shall see you
no more
So out through the gas-pipe he crawled like an
ant,
For his exertions had tired him, and caused
him to pant
And into the sleigh he sprang with delight,
When the sleigh whirled away through the
cold frosty night.
He stops at each chimney when passing close
by,
And drops few things in old socks on the sly
And whenever chimney looks finished and
grand,
Old Santa, gives toys, like pouring out sand.
But If in perchance, they look fimsy and poor
Old Santa Claus steals like thief from tn,
door,
And when far away, he says to himself:
Its not always pleasant to be even ourself."

NEEDED LEGISLATION.

The session of the state legislature
which convenes in Sacramento in
two weeks will be unique from
county standpoint. For the first
time in the history of Amador, the
county will fail to have a repre-
sentative in that body whose con-
stituents are confined to the county
limits. Whether this will prove
preludicial or otherwise to the in
terests OF the unty remains to be
seen. There is no question that
Amador needs whole lot!of remedial
legislation. Perhaps. it is no worse
koff in this respect than many other
counties. Be that as it may, there
remains a rich and inviting field for
our representatives to make record
in craftsmanship that will earn the
gratitude of taxpayers generally.
We protest against that contracted
and silly notion that the principal
aim of the legislator, whether in
national or state affairs, should be
to get the largest possible appropri-
atious from the general, treasury for
his district. Without overlooking
this important branch of his duties,
there are other and far more i'm
portant ways of serving his con-
stituents at this particular juncture.
1t is matter of comment through
out the county why the tax-rate is
higher to-day with a much larger
assessment roll than it was 10 or Is
years ago. How did we manage to
get along with $3.50 to $1.75 on the
800 years ago, with over half a
million less property valuation,
when it takes 50 to-day to meet our
expenses. This is broad subject,
which it behooves our representa-
tives. to ponder over carefully. The
first great jump is in the road fund.
This requires 80 per cent more
money to-day than was deemed nee
essary in the days when supervisors
had no personal control of the road
expenditures. Taxpayers will not
object to this increase of road money,
provided it is well expended and the
practical results are commensurate
with the expenditure. We need a
radical change in the road law.
Amador also needs a revision of the
fee system in the recorders, county
clerks and sheriff's offices, and the
superior court. 1t has been the
steady drift for years to either cur
tail the sum that formerly went into
the county treasury from these
sources, or divert the same to private
channels. The legislator that will
restore the fee system to it's condi-
tion when the present state constitu-
tion was adopted, or something ap-
preaching thereto, will be a public
benefactor indeed, and earn the last
ing gratitude of the people.

FEELS BAD ABOUT 1T.

We are much mortified at the course
of the Ledger in the unionizing of
miners. Unionism is the only means
laboring men have of protecting them
selves from annihilation by heartless
and unscrupulous capitalists. lone
Echo.
Are we to infer that the men who
are now investing their money with
out stint in the development of the
mineral resources of this county are
included in the designation of heart
less and INSCRIPTIONS capitalists. u
According to this lucid view, the
laboring men of Amador county have
been suffering the pains of annihila-
tion for the past thirty years; mas
much as they have managed to
struggle along, each man the su-
preme arbiter of the question of his
own wages for that length of time,
without the aid of unionism. And
they appear to have thrived under
the ordeal very well. They are not
complaining now. They seem to be
willing to rub along in the same
good old way for thirty years more.
They have sent no appeal to the pro-
fessional "agitator" brigade to
come over and help u.s." 1t is
really pitiable, and paints future
otherwise bright beyond our utmost
wishes, with evil omen, to read such
diatribes against capitalists, who
have been mainly instrumental in
redeeming these foothills from their
original wildnerness, and without
whose con ntinued efforts the country
would revert back to its native wild
ness again. We are opposed to the
enslavement of labor by capital; we
are equally opposed to the enslave-
ment of capital by labor unions. The
latter condition can never become
reality, Notwithstanding the strong
drift in that direction, aided by the
might of numbers and efforts of a
misguided press. Long before such
a condition arises, capital, shifting
the danger from afar, will silently
fold its banners and steal away to a
more appreciative locality.
We are contending for principles
which are essential to the interests
of both labor and capital. It is a
fatal blunder to assume that the
laborer can be benefited by the op-
preston of capital. The one cannot
prosper and the other be depressed.
May be these views are not popular
in certain quarters. That can make
no difference with US. We are not
trimming our sails to catch the
popular breeze. We would rather
be right with the minority, than
wrong with the weight of numbers
to back us. 1t will ultimately come
to pass that all forms of oppression
resorted to in carrying out the de-
crees OF labor unionism-the boycott,
picketting, intimidations and all
other subtleties to prevent the free
exercise of the rights of citizenship,
will be prohibited by law. 1t must
come to that if our country is to
continue to prosper.

New York. The Miner, which has
heretofore been published semi
monthly, will be issued hereafter
weekly, by an independent company,

The advent of the Engineering
Journal into the Pacific Coast field
is significant. 1t ranks as. the ablest

class in the United States. Under
its wing the Miner will no doubt be

The most direful railroad accident
that has happened in California for
many years occurred Saturday last
on the Southern Pacific line near
Byron station in Contra Costa coun-
ty. The Stockton flyer ran into the
Owl train, both fast passenger
trains, and going in the same direc-
ton. Twenty-four lives were sacri-
feed, and many others more or less
crippled. The responsibility for this
terrible disaster is not very clear.
The officials place the blame upon
the engineer of the Stockton train,
while others are inclined to attribute
it to the inefficiency of the Owl
locomotive which gave out on the
trip. No doubt thorough investi-
gation of the accident will be made,
and the blame placed where ii
belongs.
