THE SALARY GRAB.

The. Calaveras Prospect of last
week published an ARTICLE concern
ing the position taken by the Ledger
in relation to the salary grab bill
introduced in the last legislature by
G. H. McKenney for the special
benefit of justices and constables
then in Office. Our cotemporary is
generally conservative and logical
in dealing with local questions, but
has made very Indifferent showing
in defending this particular bill.
We are aware that bill of similar
nature was passed for the benefit of
township officers in Calaveras coun-
ty. The Prospect asserts that in
that county the people are we'll sat
isfied with the new law, and pro-
fesses to be surprised why such a
furore should be made in Amador
county because of its provisions.
The figures of the Ledger as to the
increased cost to the taxpayers by
the passage of this bill are Indirect
~ questioned, but our cotemporary
makes no effort to show by facts and

The State Fair.

The coming State Fair, which will
begin August 22nd and continue for
Two weeks, promises to be a greater
success than for a number of years
past and the Horse Show at the Pavil-
ion, which begins with the Fair, will
undoubtedly prove a drawing card. as
it is the first one held at the Fair.
There promises to be a strong compe-
tition, between the horse fanciers of
San Francisco and other parts of the
State. There will also be perform
ances given at times in the ring which
will enliven and add to the attractions
of the show. There will be some
sixty classes to be judged
AT the park the harness races have
been we'll filled and the prospect is
that a number of records will be
broken. There will be more than a
hundred runners at the track, so that
the racing program promises well.
The county exhibits and the mining
exhibits are expected to be very large
and fine, and the big Pavilion, which
covers a block, will have very little
spare room. The visitor to California
who attends the State Fair Wall be
satisfied that the astonishing stories
he has heard of California's product
Keness have not been exaggerated and
that the half has not been told.
Amador ledger., 1904-08-26

figures that we have misrepresented
the situation. We do not profess to
know the feeling in Calaveras coun-
ty on this matter The justices and
constables salary grab has not
awakened the people there to the
same extent as in Amador, probably
for no other reason than that its
provisions have not been discussed
by the press. There has been little
or no attempt to enlighten the citi-
zens of that county on the subject.
We have nothing to tone down in
our structures upon that infamous
bill. The extent to which the tax
payers have been cinched by its
provisions will soon be a matter of
history, and beyond dispute. The
Ledger is not of that stripe of
journalism that would veer one lot
from what it believes to be right,
because a republican office holder
and office-seeker is involved in the
controversy. We have no hesitation
in asserting now that the justices
and constables' salary bill introduced
by c. H. McKenney is the most
vicious piece of legislation that has
come under our notice of all the acts
affecting Amador county in the past
30 years. Between the legislature
and the judiciary our taxpayers
have been "buncoed" out of thous-
ands of dollars,
1t is nothing less than a hold-up
under color of law. The mere mon
etary consideration, however, sinks
into insigniticance in comparison
with the moral aspect of the case.
The gravity lies in the fact that
officers sworn to uphold the consti-
tuition and the laws, have, with full
consciousness of the import of their
doings, deliberately and knowingly
endeavored to beat a constitutional
provision. The reserved rights OF
the people, as set forth in the fun
damental law of our state, have
been ruthlessly, knowingly set aside,
with hands uplifted at the self-same
time in swearing allegiance to that
instrument. The deep humiliation
of this moral tragedy must ran1le
in the mind of every believer in the
majesty cf law. Success along these
lines serves only to intensity the
dark features of the plot; and con,
gratulations on the outcome SOUND
like gloryings in public shame.

Woman's Application for Divorce is De-
MED by the Court

When the village of Suffer Greek,
Amador county, was startled three
years ago by the announcement that
Dan A. Trudgen had taken a wife,
there was much whispering over tea
cups as to the possible outcome of the
wedding. For three or four days be-
fore the wedding Trudgen had been
held prisoner in the local Jail. but
upon his solemn promise to marry Dora
Chase the constable unlocked the doors.
The wedding was performed the same
afternoon in the presence of the con-
stable, but with the understanding
that Trudgen should at no time be re-
quired to support his bride. To make
the agreement binding formal papers
were drawn up to that effect and after
the formalities were over Trudgen
took the train for this city, where he
has since resided.
Mrs. Trudgen remained satisfied
until three months ago, when she
learned that her husband had accumu-
lated some money. She at once brought
suit for divorce, with the aim of Sc
curing alimony for the support of her
seld and child
Without commenting on the peculiar
phases of the case, Superior Judge
Murasky handed down a decision yes
terday in which he holds that Mrs.
Trudgen is not entitled to her free

Incorrect Report.

Morris Brinn, republican candidate
for supervisor in district four, was in
Jackson Wednesday. He was called
to the county seat to hunt down a
slanderous report that has been cir
culated for the purpose of injuring him
before the voters to the effect that
when he went out of office in 1901 he
had overdrawu, or rather done work
on the roads which, if paid for at the
time would have overdrawn the funds
of that district to the tune of $4,000.
An examination of the matter from the
official records-the treasurer books
shows the following facts:
In January, 1897, when Mr..
Brinn assumed Office, there
was deficit in the fund of E. .$196 43
Jan. 1901, when Mr.. Brinn went
out of office, there was deficit
of. Observation-Disclosures. $3.50 SO
Showing the fund was more over
drawn when he surrendered
Office than when he assumed
office, to the extent of. ... 1854 10
This Showing takes into consider
alton the bills outstanding for work
done at the close of S. Pratt's term in
1897, and the amount due for work
done at the close of Mr.. Brinn's term.
1t takes no cognizance of the sums ap-
portloned from the general road fund
at the commencement of each term
After making all allowances the con-
clusiOn is that Mr.. Brinn left the road
fund S254.10 poorer than when he as
sumed charge. And this is explained
that 1901 was severe winter. Work
had to be done even if the funds of the
coming term we're drawn upon to that
end. All supervisors have to pursue
this course according to circumstances.
1t gives us pleasure to nail the first
campaign lie that has bobbed up so far.

natural, after the repeated reverses
already suffered that the Russians
fully realize how much General
Kuropatkin has staked On the as
sumption of the offensive. The bat
tie now in progress probably will
outweigh in importance the hard

kin's victory, partial or.complete, is
necessary Defeat would certainly
spell ruin for his military reputa.

of the first magnitude to the Rus

If the japanese should roll up
Kuropatkin's advance now, all
hope of an aggression success in
this campaign or of relief of Port
Arthur would be ended probably

now means a winter campaign and

but for the Russian arms in Man.
