K,,ls nabb,ts with His whiplaah.

Fred Hack, Of Gridley, Cal, has q
unique method of exterminating jack
rabbits. Hack is an experienced
handler Of big teams Of horses, and
thus became expert in the use Of long
lash whips. He has trained saddle
mare, which ambles sleepily along to
lull suspicion on the part Of the rab-
bits until he is within range, when
Hack uncoils his long snake lash and
lets fly for the jacks neck, and in an
other minute the rabbit is caught. On
recent morning Hack thus killed
fourteen of the pests.

RHlRENCH In SALARIES.

The Salaries Bills now before the
Legislature will foot up total OF
over $2,6OO,OO0, and with other in
cidental salarier, commissions, etc ,
here and there throughout the next
biennial period, will make up agrand
total OF near 100000 We consider
this q mighty big sum for this Terri
tory to pay out in salaries only, and
with our current expenses for public
improvements other than salaries.
the whole will about reach $l0,0O0,-
600. And where is it all to come
'front.' Our revenue does not war
ran. such large expenditure, and
in our estimation, we are going from
bad to worse, condition OF sff airs
not known<ef during the days of the
now much depised Monarchy, pro-
badly only 30 during f.rcicsl plays

In the days gone by, never more
to return to us, the then "loyal op.
position" led by our present Gov.
ernor urged retrenchment in the
conduct of affairs, but since being at
the head of affairs, he himself has
been first aud foramost in the ex-
pending OF public funds. AT the
present time, we think he should be
the one most foremost in recon-
mendiDg such a course. We honest
ly and earnestly believe that in
retrenchment is the country's only
salvation. Offices should be dim
inished aud duties increased. As it
is at present. we have too many
ofiiciale, some of whom are being
too highly paid for the work that
they do. This we honestly believe,
aud reitera.e that if salaries are not
to be reduced, work should bs in-
creased by the doing away of certain
unnecessary positions. And stiil.a 25
percent reduction all around would
be fair move for retrenchmsnt and
with that we would then be prac-
ticipg economy in reality, earnest.
neas and sincerity.
