CORTELYOU.

And there arrived upon the Conven-
whose rapid rise in political and puO-
lie life is an inspiration to ali the
young men of our country who depend
upon work and worth alone for their
advancement-the new official head
of the republican organization, the
new chairman of the national com
mittee and a man who is to be his
own master and no other mans
George B. Cortelyou.
Said President Roosevelt to the
writer ten days g at the White
house:
1T is all nonsense for people to talk
of Cortelyou's being always under my
orders. l have found him as self-re-
liant and independent Is any other
man in my cabinet. AS chairman Ct
the national committee. he will run
his office as | run mine"
Al The Chicago club last night Mr..
Cortelyou said to me:
IF | am elected chairman of the
national committee | shall be the
chairman in fact as well as in name.
1t is a great responsibility, which
did not seek. and which | accept with
the full understanding hat | am to
meet it in my own way and with my
own methods."-Walter Wellman in
Record Herald.

GEORGE GOULD AND BUSINESS

George Gould is credited with hav-
ing expressed the opinion that there
will be a notable revival in business
next fall, and he looks for the first
evidence of it soon after the leading
presidential nominations have been
made.
No man in the country is better
qualified to form an intelligent opin'
ion on so important a subject, especial,
ly in the relation hat the railroads
have to business conditions. Speak,
ing on the latter point Mr.. Gould said
that while the railroads had curtailed
expenses this year, they would be
forced next year to be more liberal
in the purchases Of steel. This opin,
ion was expressed just after he had
returned from "A conference at Pitts
burg with the officials of the steel
trust in regard to the tonnage his
roads are to receive under the old
Carnegie contract.
1t is probable That in that confer
ence he learned something about the
condition of the steel trade and the
outlook for the future which enabled
him to speak with confidence in re-
spect to what the railroads would
do in steel purchases. The officers
of the steel trust undoubtedly are in
formed in regard to condition of the
leading railroads and the extent to
which they will be compelled to give
orders. Possessing this information
they . form a or less definite
estimate of the future course If trade.
1t is commonly thought that a
presidential contest tends to check

REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC
ECONOMY.

Ex-senator Henry G. Davis, dem
ocratic candidate for vice president,
has made discovery. The cost of
government has largely increased
under republican rule The expend-
iture per capita is greater under re-
publican administration than it was
under democratic administration
The cost per capita under the Bu-
chanan administration was $2.01;
under the Harrison administration
$5.77; under the last Cleveland ad-
ministration $5. 10; under the Nc
Kinley administration 1886, and
under the Roosevelt administration
$40.
Mr.. Davis gives these figures as
an indictment of the republican
party. Perhaps it is. But the
democratic leaders in congress did
not complain of the sins of commits
sion so much as the sins of omission
in the way of appropriations at the
last session. They wanted more ap-
preparations for rivers and harbors,
public buildings, and good roads.
1t is true that more money is
spent by the government under re-
publican administrations than under
democratic administrations because
there is more money to spend, and
the republican party believes in pub
lie improvements,
The democratic party in the days
of Buchanan denied the constitu-
tional power of congress to appro-
pirate money for internal improve
ments such as rivers and harbors,
but for the last twenty-five years no
people have been so insistent and
have had better success in securing
appropriations for the improvements
of rivers than have the democrats of
the south. They have insisted that
every river in the south should have
millions spent on its improvements.

THE RIGHT PLATFORM.

S. W. Bright, the republican can
didate for supervisor, is making a
quiet but telling canvass of this dis
trict. Mr. Bright has been too long
and favorably known to the voters
to need any words of recommends
tion. He is a man who says what
he means, and does what he prom
ises. He is freely stating to the
citizens the line of conduct he will
adhere to if elected. The most i'm
portant part of a supervisors duties
under the present law is the super
vision of the road work. On this
vital point Mr.. Bright has stated
his position in clear and unmistak-
able terms. All work on the roads
he will let by contract as far as
practicable. He will give prefer
ence, other things being equal, to
those living in the vicinity of the
road, believing that those who are
residents of the neighborhood will
take pride in doing the best pos
sible work on the highway that they
are compelled to travel over most
frequently. He will strictly adhere
to the law requiring those employed
on the roads to put in their own
sworn bills to the board. He will
simply supervise the work, and see
that it is done properly according to
contract before he will allow the
claim. The minutes of the board of
supervisors will be a full and com
plete epitome of all parties inter
ested in OR receiving pay for road
work done in the district. Such in
short is the platform upon which he
stands, and on which he asks the
support of his fellow-citizens.

CORRESPONDENCE.

what In the world is the matter
with =" Stub PEN? Is he trying to
put sword point on his pen. or only
trying to show US what kind of a grand
mother he had? l am sure you nor l
never had such one as he pictures.
We would have disowned her. The
vision of my grandmother comes TO me
as dear, kind, and good face, which
showed the mind had no thought of
guile. Who would no more have made
the remark ''going to the devil,'' or
mention his satanic majesty than she
would have taken the Lords name in
vain. 'Stub Pen s" conception of
grandmother who would uphold her
young grandson in dealing ont drinks
at lOc each does not coin eide with her
advice to keep out of politics. Now
politics may be nasty, but not more so
than selling drinks and lots of them at
lOc piece. Neither would grand
son who had respect enough for his
grandmother to listen to her advice.
tell her the United States, or any part
thereof, ''was going to hell in a hand
basket. y Tor ham basket as the Dis
patch has it-they must have smelled
smoke.) The language is elegant, and
perhaps in keeping with its author, but
not tit for your grandmother or mine
to hear. Furthermore it seems to me
Stub Pen s" grandmother knew more
about the filthiness and badness of
politics than did our dear ancestors.
Why, my grandmother thought her
husband. who was state senator. was
everything noble and good, and l am
sure she made no mistake in so think
ing. And if any STUB Pen" had said
to her that he had better sell drinks
and lots of them at 1Oc piece instead
OF running for Office, for fear people
would think him 'john horse" she
would have been insulted.
AS a general thing grandmas are
most partial to the grandson whose
abilities are not quite up to the rest of
the boys. She is sympathetic, and iu-
clined to make excuses for him instead
OF censuring him so publicly and show
ing up the extraordinary smartness of
his brothers. Tho father or mother
may do this, but not grandma. So
please STUB Pen" do not confound
your caricature of grandmother with
our dear, sweet old grandmothers.

Last Saturday we came as near as we
want to come to a fire. Hot cinders.
smouldering branches of chaparral and
pine bark fell thick as snow flakes for
about two hours, blown by the wind
from the fearful fire across the river in
Calaveras county. The smoke rolled
over us, and meeting at the zenith
with the smoke from the timber fires
near Diamond Springs, obscured the
sun to such an extent that it was as
dark as the darkest day in winter.
Inspection later revealed the fact that
for miles along the Mokelumne river
on the Calaveras side the fire had
burned to the waters edge. And still
it burns. We could see the ruins of
Crosby's house and barn Only the
tall brick chimney remains standing,

The board of supervisors will meet
next Monday to fix the tax rate for
the current year. The state board
.of equaliza lion has fixed the state
tax at .535 as against .561 for last
year. Those who look for reduc-
tion III the aggregate state aud coun-
ty levy are likely to be disappointed.
The truth is, under the influence of
pernicious laws, and disposition to
use them to the limit, the expenses
of the local government are, and
have been for years, steadily on the
increase. The bill providing a sal
airy for justices and constables is the
latest step in this direction, and in
deed it must be confessed that il
outclasses all previous efforts in this
line in Amador county. The JUS
tices and constables are now clamor-
ing for a draw-down of several
thousand dollars, over and above
what they have received as their full
compensation for services rendered
for the past Is months under the
fee system. How can the taxpayers
of the county expect any relief when
such measures are not only passed,
but actually landed as meritorious
steps of needed reform.

How can such procedure further
the ends of justice?
Finally the coroner says if any law
is poin ted out authorizing him so to
do, he will be pleased to follow the
consolidation plan hereafter in such
cases. In reply thereto, we will
merely say that we do not see any
reason or law that the verdict of a
coroners jury should cover every
victim of disaster like the one in
question, 1t seems to be within the
discretion of the official. We be-
lieve the following general provisions
of the civil code are sufficient to con-
troll in such matters:
Sec 1.-The rule of common law
that statutes in derogation thereof
are to be strictly construed, has no
application to this code The code
establishes the law of this state re-
specting the subjects to which it
relates, and its provisions are to be
literally construed, with a view to
effect its objects and to promote
justice.
Sec Is The singular
number includes the plural and the
plural the singular" etc.
Sec 3528-The law respects form
less than substance.
Sec 3532-The law neither does
nor requires idle acts.
