Demand A Retraction.

Chief of Police Coffey, of Sacramento,
seems to have gotten himself into a
pretty little mess by saying things in
his annual report about the depart
ment store clerks and telephone girls
that he ought not to have said. Chief
Coffey refers to these places as "kin-
dergartens of vice, Z" to which all en-
ployes, and particularly the young
ladies, object. An Indignation meet
ing was held, and a retraction demand
ed. The chief has tried to explain Just
what he meant, but does not seem to
express himself in terms satisfactory to
all. Mr. Coffey is evidently ladies'
man and no doubt will be magnanimous
enough to withdraw the statement.
Mayor Hassett reprimauded Chief
of Police Coffey before the city trustees
OF Sacramento as follows:
'Tn submitting his annual report to
the board of trustees the chief of police
went outside of his province and treat
ed of matter which never should have
been given publicity, even though he
had irrefragable testimony of the truth
of the statement which appears in his
report. Had he furnished this office
with a copy of his report, as it was his
duty to do, the statement never would
have been made public. 1t is not so
many years ago since reverend gen.
tleman made sweeping denunciation
of the women of Sacramento, and, like
the city's chief of police, found himself
severely criticised, and justly so, for
his base and uncalled for aspersions
upon the fair name and fame of the
women of Sacramento. The man who
would willfully and knowingly cast a
single reflection upon woman's char
acter is utterly unfit to dwell in civil
lized community. If for one moment 1
entertained the thought that Mr..
Cotfey committed the objectionable
offense of so SHINING, that moment
would he be deprived OF his Office. In
reprimanding the chief of police for his
unwarranted assertion, which every
member of this community repudiates,
can only attribute his error to an ex-
treme case of cacoethes scribendi''
Chief Coffey heard the reading of the
reprimand. He said to the trustees:
81 was wholly misunderstood. 1
have nothing to say that would reflect
in the least against any woman or girl.
l had mother and wife and have
sister. simply desired in my report
to call the attention of the women's
clubs to the condition of affairs exist
ing at the present time in this CITY,"
On motion of Trustee Carragher the
chiefs Objectionable statement in his
annual report was ordered expunged
from the city's records.

The worst of the grading on this end is
completed, and the finishing work is
now being done, preparatory to laying
the track. One of the camps will be
moved to Martell's within the next few
days. Surveying parties will be put on
to select the routes into Jackson, SUIT
ter and Amador. Building operations
will continue until each of these towns
are reached. The builders and con-
tractors of this enterprise have under
taken large operations in other places
which they are pushing to rapid COM
pletion. The knowing ones may say
and think and receive outside tips, but
the builders and promoters seem to
understand their business, and the
road is coming right along.
Amador ledger., 1905-01-20
INCORPORATION.

incorporation is now the talk of
the town. Wednesday a number of
our enterprising citizens met at
Lawyer Bole's Office to talk over the
subject and take the first steps nee
essary to bring the matter properly
before the people. U S Gregory
acted as chairman of the meeting,
and Fred Eudey secretary. All
present seemed to think the time
now ripe for action. Not dissent
ing voice was heard among those
present. On motion unanimously
carried the chairman appointed E.
II. Harrington, G. Marelia, Alfonso
Ginocchio, Benz. F. Taylor and D. B.
Spagnoli committee to ascertain
data pertaining to costs, consolida-
tion of Offices, outline boundaries,
ETC., etc., and report the same tc
the citizens of Jackson at mass
meeting to be called later by the
chairman. The committee will be-
gin work at once, and will try and
have everything in shape so as to
ask the supervisors to call an elec-
tion at their regular March meeting.
The present sanitary condition oil
the town perhaps had something
to do with the agitating of the
question at this time. 1t is openly
stated that many of those who were
opposed to incorporation when voted
on before are now outspoken in favor
of it. The committee appointed by
Mr.. Gregory should be given all as
sistance possible in order that they
may obtain desired information, and
the question will be open for dis
cussion on lines mapped out by them
at and after the mass meeting called
to receive their report.
Amador ledger., 1905-01-20
STRIKE AT THE ROOT.

State financiers are at their wits
ends to find ways of increasing the
revenue to meet the running expen-
ses of the government. All sorts of
plans are being proposed to make
the states income keep pace with
the ever-increasing out-go. Gov
ernor Pardee and his advisers are
no doubt patriotically and sincerely
endeavoring to find way out of the
dilemma, which they can foresee is
destined to become acute in the near
future if the present killing pace is
to be maintained. But in presence
of the spirit of extravaganza and
graft which seems to possess our
lawmakers and permeate our sys-
tenn through and through, it is diff
cult to see how the one-sided policy
of providing more funds for the car
nival of extravaganza can bring any
permanent relief. 1t is easier to
spend money than to make or earn
it. We may reconstruct our tax
system; we may add new sources of
revenue; but these will count for
little in the way of genuine reform
unless supplemented by the looping
off of useless items in the expense
account. There are many who will
believe that more good can be accom-
plished in this last named direction
than in any other. Our government
is becoming top-heavY. We are suf-
fering from government. There
are too many leeches and barnacles
fastened to the ship of state. They
are sapping its vitality and impend-
ing its progress. The nav of the
political mill is Unsuitable. Pamper-
ing serves merely to add strength
to its voracious appetite. What
California needs is to be rid of its
army of useless attaches, its legion
of officeholders, whose most arduous
duty is to draw their pay. We must
curb the spirit that seeks to build
up every county in the state by hav-
ing some state institution, with its
myrmidon of officials quartered there
in. These are the things that are
eating at our vitals. And when
some scheme is devised and put into
practice to slough them off of the
body polite, the common people will
begin to think that the hour of re-
demption is at hand.
Amador ledger., 1905-01-20
Obtaining Gold From Moss.

There appeared during the week an
article in one of the city papers stating
that merchant of Trinity county had
purchased $4,000 worth of gold the past
season which had been collected by
moss on the river banks during periods
of high water, and further saying that
the method is new. No doubt it is in
that locality, but our informant knows
of gold having been collected by moss
on the banks of Dry creek near the
Thompson place ten years ago. After
the seasons flood waters had subsidized
those engaged in mining during the
season gathered the moss on the banks,
dried it in the summer heat, then after
burning, panned out the ashes. such
operations yielding good pay. In this
instance the gold so caught was not
from hydraulic ground, but consisted
of the fine particles that escaped from
the quartz mills above, and carried
down stream by storm waters, and that
caught represented but small part of
the gold so lost. AS the process is
simple and does not entail much labor
we suggest this plan to those engaged
in mining along the large creeks.
Amador ledger., 1905-01-20

down the amount of revenue from
this source. Occasionally protest
has been made by the papers against
this process so preiudicial to the
countys interest, but it has been in
variably stifed by the gang for po-
litical purposes. A county political
convention two years ago attempted
to insert plank in the platform
pledging the representatives in the
legislature to use all honorable
means to secure a revision of the fee
schedule in the interest of the tax
payers. At the bidding of interested
parties it was partially throttled in
committee; and that portion that
was adopted by the convention was
utterly ignored by our legislators.
1t is well for the people to keep these
things in remembrance. We have
an abiding faith in the integrity of
the average American citizen, and
when the evil becomes generally ap-
preciated the people will find ways
and means to remedy it, even though
it be necessary to carve out new
political channels in order to bring
about that desirable result.
