ORNAMENTS OF THE PEERAGE,
British Aristocracy Evidently Not All
That Could Be Desired.

Lord Lyveden is an ardent peerage
reformer, and tells an anecdote in this
connection for whose authenticity he
pledges himself. This narrates how
a famous statesman of the nineteenth
century was called upon to visit his
son in prison. He bitterly reproached
him, remarking: Here am /, having
worked my way up from a middle
class home to a great position, and
when | die you will be the greatest
blackguard in the peerage." The son
listened quietly, and then replied with
terribly irony: "Yes-when you die"
Another of Lord Lyveden's peerage
stories is equally piquant. The son of
a peer applied to a friend in the north
of England for a ~housekeeper, and
was recommended a certain Mrs.
Brown. The peer wrote to the woman
accordingly, to the effect that, having
learned particulars of her character,
he WAS willing to engage her as his
~housekeeper, and making an appoint
ment for her to call and see him on
a certain date. The good woman re-
piled: my lord, from what I have
learned of your character, / decline to
enter your house, am your lord

Johnson about it. Van had never been

and the only course he could think of
was to flee. Without a word. he
turned and hurried from the room.

Bibber's hand closed tightly over his

He made such a threatening figure

her heels.
"Johnson-where is Johnson, l say?

Bibber, beating the air with his cane,

YearIine Steers and Heifers at S7.25

set an example to stockmen by
shipping twenty-five head of
yearling steers and heifers to the
st. Louis market, where they sold
at S7.25 per one hundred pounds
on November 10th. They were
pretty near pure-blood short
horns. They were raised by
Sam Graham in the same County.
They we're short yearlings, strict
ly corn fed, and averaged only
1926 pounds. These cattle outsold
the next best native cattle of the
same weight 40 cents per
one hundred pounds, they out
sold some of the native cattle of
the some weight S3.75 per one
hundred pounds; they outsold
Mississippi steers of the same
weight A cents a pound. There is
a fashion for light weight cattle
and Missouri is a great state to
raise them.-NationaI Farmer and

ceive them, for the reason that John
son had not written an interview for
him for more than a week.
Give me the paper" he demanded.
There was the whole humiliating
story, and Van Bjbber grew faint as
he read the account of his fall. Yes,
terday people proudly claimed the
friendship of the author; to-day they
blushed to acknowledge the acquaint-
ance of the literary thief.
At the Van Bibber home, the next
day, callers were told that Mrs. Van
Bibber had suddenly determined to go
to Europe, while business had called

declare a vacancy and order anoth-

can be held within ten days from
the date of the call for it. Three
Democrats from Kansas city may
not be able-will not be able, in
fact-to qualify, and one may not

meets, &C that an election may be
held in time to have a full delega-

election of Peter Houck is con-
tested. He is a well known Demo-
cratic leader, who has been a

terms.
In Clark, st. Clair and Atchison
counties the election of Democrats
will be contested. These contests
were filed after Republican lead
ers had made investigation and
found that the right of the Demo-

Regarding Franchises.

In view of the fact that public
franchises are necessarily given
for long term of years, and the
quality, manner and price Of the
public service that is involved in
the monopoly thus granted; the
people of Oroville are now about
to face the most important ques-
tons that have confronted us
since the incorporation of the
town. or that may confront us for
possibly a generation, namely, the
giving, or contracting, away val

liable special privileges. We have
not as many to grant as large
cities have neither are we of such
commercial Importance that COM
peting applicants will seek our
town and ask for additional fran
chises in order that they may COM
pete with enterprises already
working under granted privileges.
Therefore these special privileges
are of special value to us by rea-
son of our small stock in trade
and possibly by reason of our
limited number of customers.
Nevertheless the franchise priv
leges to be conferred by the town
in the future will never 60 beg
ging but by reason of the above
conditions there is added danger
Of our becoming a victim Of the
spoilers, the unwary victim OF
intrigue or we may suffer the con-
sequences of our own inactivity in
not exercising our constitutional
right of petition by demanding of
the council that the question OF
granting a franchise should be
submitted to a vote of the people.
This referendum is becoming
quite general in municipalities
both large and small. Spokane,
acting under statute which pro-
vides that the government OF the
city "shall be vested in mayor
and a city council" identical
with that under which our corpor-
alton exists, viz, that the govern
ment Of the town "shall be vested
in a mayor and a council" has de-
manded and obtained a require
ment that the granting of fran
chise shall be submitted to vote
of the people; the constitutional
ity Of which provision has been
sustained and settled by our SUI
preme Court; and in support of
which decision there is a NAHUM
dant array Of authorities. This
right of petition is one Of the most
sacred rights reserved to the peo-
pie, and one which neither legis-
lative authority can interfere
with, or that the courts will ever
permit to be abridged. 1t is no
abridgment Of legislation but rem
ders substantial assistance to the
honest legislator whose aim
should be, and whose Office re-
quires him, to give heed to the
will of his constituents. The grant
ing of a franchise is but con-
tract entered into between the
municipality and the grantee, as
the courts have universally held.
We believe that every such con-
tract should contain the proper
restrictions just as any other bust
ness contract should contain. And
the reason becomes more forcible
and is related more closely to the
public because the concessions
made to the franchise owner come
directly from the peoples re-
served rights, and the business
conducted under the franchise IS
quasi public in it's nature and the
