More encouraging than would have been
the prophecy of our own most astute bust
EesS man, is the conclusion Of q German
official who made tour of this country
to study cur resources and to report upon
| the development of our industries. 1t
comes to us in an official report made by
| Baron REenbaben to the German Gov
crnment. and because it is an unbiased
view based on observation and investiga-
ton it has n special value. 1t is in these
words: The enormous progress of the
United States during the past decade will
continue at an increasing ratio" Coun-
cilor Booker, who makes the report, en-
larges upon the resources of the United
States, comedies the superiority Of the
American industrial system, and admits
the advantages Of our tariff system, which
has enabled us to compete successfully in
foreign markets. He finds in this fact,
however, no reason for reprisal on the part
Of Germany. In brief. Baron Rheinbab ben
and his associates find that our prosper
ity, based on product. eaess, on intelligent
development of wonderful resources, and
on wise governmental policy, will con-
tinue in spite of all that Europe can do
in the way of competition and reprisal.

they must all take the oath of allegiance
to the United States. There was an ex-
citing canvass as to what this meant, and
there We're surmises that it had been pre-
cipitated by the knowledge that the oath
taken by delegates to the International
Typographical Union is held by some to be
in contrayentiOn Of the oath of allegiance
| to the United States; others saw in it a
strike preventive, and very urgent inquir-
les were made as to where the order orig
| mated, many attributing it to the Pres-
dent on account of the troubles connected
| with the restoration Of Bookbindcr Miller.
Public Printer Palmer merely stated that
the object of the order was to place the
per diem employees in the same attitude
toward the Government as that of the
clerks on annual salaries who have sub
scribed to the oath. He said that every
employee of the Office would be required to
| take the oath, beginning with the Chiefs
Of Divisions. OF course, the oath is entire
ly proper, as no man should serve the
| Government until he has taken an IRON
clad oath of allegiance to it. Employment
in the Government Printing Office brings
far better pay than similar work in pri-
vate offices, and the men who receive this
should have no objection to affirming their
loyalty to the Government whose bounty
they enjoy. :csl

Senators Receive Too Much State
Money by Mistake.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO. Jan 10.-Senators Bauer Bunk
ers, French. Nelson. Plunkett T1vrrelI
Welch, Williams and Wolfe will each be
called upon TO refund the sum of 81 90
to the State Treasurer. This is made
necessary by reason of a mistake made
by the Senate's mileage committee.
The distance from San Francisco to
Sacramento by railroad is ninety miles.
In making out the mileage of the men,
bers the committee forgot to consult the
provision in the code which fixes the
distance between this city and San Fran
cisco at eighty-four miles. Each member
from the metropolis was given S1s to
cover his expenses to and from the cap
ital. whereas he should have received
$16 so. The mistake in mileage was dis
covered by the Controller after the mem
bers had received their warrants. An
effort will be made to have the extra
81 20 refunded. Some of the members
may decline to do the mileage was
fixed at a time when the train went by
way OF Vallejo. They claim the distance

LUMLEY SAVES THE DAY.
Assemblyman Arrives in Time to
Maxi LIN a Quorum

Maxi Up a Quorum.
CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO. Jan. 10.-It was by hard scratch
ing that the Assembly put itself on rec
erd this morning. The gavel was WELD
ed soon after 10 o'clock, but the hands of
the big timepieee pointed close TO the
noon hour before a stroke of business
ccUlG be done. 1t seemed that the law
makers were anxious to put themselves
on record in adhering strictly to bankers
hours and it was even money that the
first motion would be to adjourn
A roundup of the members showed that
there was no quorum present and the
time was allowed to slip by In the hope
that a belated dignitary or two might
drop in and make the body a legal one
for the day.
A second count Of noses failed to make
coed and then there was a skirmishing
to find an absentee. The search was on
in real earnest when Grove L. Johnson
spoke up and said that he had an import
ant motion to make regarding the legal
izing OF the demands of the numerous at
taches and that unless the House could
gather up a sufficient number Of members
to make the days doings a matter Of rec
ord the hard worked employees would lose
a weeks wages.
Assemblymen were at high premium
for the moment and every member consti-
tuted himself committee to land a man
who could save the coin for his friends.
Telephone calls were thick and fast,
pages were told to look through the no.

hopeless task and the clerks after scan

solace, for against the names of most OF

The situation was a serious one Sud
denly there was demonstration and the
applause came long and loud as Assem-

on his way to his desk. The reception
came q surprise to Lumlcy and for the
moment he showed his embarrassment. 1t
was soon explained to him that he had
saved the House from money panic and
he replied that though granted a leave of
absence until Tuesday he was glad that
1t had fallen to him to avert the impend-

market easy along the line during the

saved the day. In ten minutes the AS

Il MENTO, Jan. 10.-Frank Jordan,
IL the clerk of the Supreme Court.
~ is looked upon as hustler, and
he demonstrated to-day that he is
surely able to maintain that reputation.
Any one who knows the genial Alamedan
will buy ticket that If good, hard talk
Will accomplish a purpose Frank will be
there at the finish easy winner.
Rumor is responsible for the story that
Jordan in his easy, confident manner had
private list of patronage that would
more than cover every position within
the gift of the Legislature Colonel Cud-
dy. who had posed through the cam
paign as Jordan's mascot, reminded the
newly elected clerk that during the early
political struggle he had promised him
al easy position at a good salary.
Much of Jordan's time has been taken
up in telling funny stories. The colonel
has been haunting shadow at Jordan's
side, expectant that when the big list
was presented his name would grace the
document at high figure and for a posi-
ton in which the only work would be
the cashing of the salary warrant.
Jordans time was so occupied however,
that until the last moment he forgot TO
put in word in favor of the titled gen
tleman who had accompanied him from
one end of the State to the other during
the campaign When the committee on
pa atronage made out its list for the ap-
proval of the Assembly Colonel Cuddy
was the first outsider TO get peep at it.
He scanned it carefully. but In vain, for
the colonels name was not recorded on
its pages
Quickly the colonel sought his hacker
and told him that he had been shut out.
1t took but a moment for Jordan to act.
Before the committee members had time
to retire Jordan was upon them. In his
own fascinating way Jordan told the
members that they had made the mis-
take of their lives in omitting Colonel
Cuddys name. His argument
convincing that despite the fact that the
committee had almost sworn that the list
would be submitted without change
Colonel Cuddys name substituted in
the place of an unfortunate place-hunter

Blased Her Way.

There is a story about Alaska and it's
people in which is mentioned man
who chose bride from among some of
the Indian tribes up toward the Chill
coot pass. He took her to a large city,
Montreal, perhaps, and left her in a
splendid hotel while he went out to sec
some one about dog. She missed him
sadly. She sat at the window looking
out on the street four stories below.
Solitude became intolerable. She de-
cided to find her husband. There was
an elevator. but she didn't care for it.
Softly as moccasins could carry her she
issued forth. When she had gone out,
a bellboy saw queer marks on the bal
listers and doorcasings. The Indian
bride had biazed her way with toma-
hawk so that she could find her way
back. The Indian bride was merely
living up to her education, for it is very
necessary to know how to blaze trail
in Alaska.
