JACKSON WILL CELEBRATE.
arrangements Made for Big Time
OH the Fourth.

A we'll attended meeting of citizens
interested in the celebration of the
coming fourth of July was held i'll
Webb building on Sunday last, to
make arrangements for a gala dly
at The county seat. There we're over
twenty business men present, and ell
expressed themselves as willing TO
take hold in any way possible to help
along the movement.
j. McCutchen presided, and E. 9.
Rust, the secretary was present to
take minutes.
The soliciting committee, through
W. Tam. chairman, announced tt at
after through canvass of the town,
the sum of S7O0 had been subscribed,
without reckoning the $40 surplus
from the last celebration. This To-
gether with the receipts from the ball
will make over 5000 as the gross a
mount to spend on the celebration; /;
sum which ought to be ample to
secure an unusually attractive pro
gram of amusements, and other fea-
lures customary on such occasions.
1t was moved and carried, that the
showing financially was ample to war
rant the citizen III proceeding with
the affair. it
An executive committee, with full
power to appoint all subordinate
working committees to carry out the
celebration, and make all prelimin-
airy arrangements was appointed by
the chairman as follows:
j. McCutchen, G. Nj. Kelly, q. Ma
relia, W. Tam, James Meehan. This
committee was empowered to fill any
and all vacancies. 1t is really tire
committee having the oversight and
charge of the whole affair. The
meeting thereupon adjourned to
meet again at the call of the chair.
The committee of arrangements
held a meeting OH Tuesday, and
elected James Meehan chairman, and
&. M. Kelly secretary. The matter
of securing an orator was left in the
hands of Judge Rust. The committee
have started to work, all the members
displaying willingness to take hold
in earnest with the object of securing
glorious celebration. And there is
no doubt that with such spirit up
permOst the affair will be carried To
complete success.

A SWEEPING LAW.

The folly of one-man legislation is
at this early stage becoming apparent.
The creation of the office of code com
missioner, and giving that official the
power to doctor the laws to suit his
own notion, and after fixing them up
to his own satisfaction, have the leg
islature pass them not only without
discussion, but oven without know
ing their import, is bearing its evil
fruit. And the crop of evil promises
to be superabundant indeed. The
particular law that is just now ex-
posed by the searchligh of public
opinion, relates to the sa oon bust
ness. The law as now codified reads
as follows:
Section l. Section 172 of the Penal
Code is hereby amended to read as
follows:
l72. Every person who, within two
miles of the land belonging to this
State upon which any State prison or
reformatory is situated, or within one
mile of the grounds belonging and ad-
iacent to the University of California,
or within one and one half miles of
the lands occupied by any home, re-
treat or asylum, or disabled volunteer
soldiers or sailors establishep or to
be established by this State, or with
in the State Capitol. or within the
limits of the grounds adjacent and
belonging thereto, sells, gives away,
exposes for sale. any vinous or al
1 RnhnIIR IS VI of
demeanor.
a strict Interpretation of this law
will put out of business all the sa-
looms in Stockton, nearly all in San
Francisco, all in Folsom, and other
towns where state institutions exist.
1t has a bearing in Amador county,
as every saloon in lone is within the
prescribed limit of the Preston re-
form school, and must close If the
law is to be enforced. But the franz
ers say such was not the intention
of the lawmakers. That is the lamest
kind of an excuse. The truth is, the
Legislators in the hurry of rushing
through the bills from the code COM
missioner trusted implicitly to that
official. They did not know the import
of the measures; and it would seem
that the code commissioner himself
was in the same fix. Where the mean
ing of law is in doubt, the inten-
tion of the lawmakers may be called
| in to aid the courts in constituting the
enactment. But in this case the
wording is PLAIN, and incapable of
misconstruction. If the anti-saloon
| element had been given the making
of the law, they could hardly have
improved upon its present status from
their standpoint. Will it be en-
| forced? In Folsom the saloon men
say they will pay no heed to it; hut
the district attorney says public SEN
timent does not sanction allowing
such laws to become dead statutes.
1t is certain that there is enough of
the anti-saloon feeling in this and
other counties Interested to make an
effort to have the law complied with,
and cause lot of trouble and Iitiga-
tion and all because our legislators
made laws without due considera-
| tion.

HOW THEY WORK.

The Ledger is not in the habit of
parading its policy or its management
before the public. 1t has always pre-
ferred to allow the public 10 draw its
own conclusions on such matters from
a perusal of its columns. We have
always pursued straight course in
the interest of the people generally,
according to our best judgment. AS
a rule, newspaper patrons are an in
telligent class, and can discern the
chaff from the wheat in the field of
journalism. We have never deviated
from our course from a fear of losing
subscriber or an advertising patron.
We have looked for support from an
appreciative public, rather than from
those who do politics for a living.
The court house combine has no love
for the Ledger, because they cannot
dictate its course. We will not shape
our views for the purpose OF securing
a portion of their patronage. 1t Is
needless to say that we get precious
little of it. Most of them would send
their work clean outside the county
rather than have it done at the Led
ger. They expect paper to adapt It's
views to accord with their own on
local matters, in order to sit at the
pie counter supported by the taxpay-
ers' money. This we have not done,
and will not do. Our opinions are
not for sale, either openly, or indi-
rectly in the manner indicated. And
it is fact that those who pander to
this subserviency of the press con-
tribute next to nothing in the way of
taxes to the funds so used for the sup
port of favorites. And the recipients
of the favors are mostly in the same
category.
We are prompted to make these re-
marks from the following facts just
brought to our notice. A legal adver-
tisement was sent to us from a town
ship officer. AS soon as it appeared
in these columns the official received
communication from a newspaper
office in this county, insolently COM
planning because that particular paper
had not been favored with the notice.
The protest, among other things, re-
ferred to the justices and constables'
salary bill, stating that the paper
stood in with the officers on that
well-known grab game, carrying the
the idea that that paper was entitled to
such advertising. The Ledger's stand
in defense of the taxpayers on that
proposition, and against the looting
of the treasury by beating down the
constitutional provisions by judicial
ipsi diXit, is matter of history, Dur
ing that long struggle even the
officials who were contesting the law
in the interest of the county, gave the
printing patronage growing out of the
lawsuit to paper that opposed them
and stood in for the grab game. The
only paper the Ledger - that ap-
proved the appeal to the supreme
court, got nil. 1t expected nothing,
and was not disappointed. Such is
the spirit of democratic politics. But
now comes this latest apostle of the
u-tlckIe-me-and I'll tickle you
school, and want the Ledger boycott
ted for daring to express its convic-
tion on local affairs. The Ledger gets
it therefore from both sides of the
fence. Such methods are discredit-
able indeed, and beneath contempt.

which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
