IN LEGISLATIVE HALLS. NOTES OF THE DOINGS OF THE SOLONS AT SACRAMENTO. With all that has been written and spoken about the climate of Southern California, I verily believe it is not half-way appreciated by our own people. The climate of this part of the State at this time of year by contrast is simply exorable. After a solid week of fog, everything saturated and dripping, cold and clammy—a sort of morgue effect—not like a rain, people tell me I need not be surprised to see no material or lasting change in the weather for several weeks to come. In the day time you can't see a street car more than half a block away, and at night you can see only its lights until it is right on you. And I am confident the dome of the Capitol furnishes the solution of the air-ship mystery. It contains a cluster of electric lights that show a ghost-like skeleton or frame-work and nothing more. It is easy to imagine the thing in motion because it seems afloat in mid-air. The electric light towers produce a similar effect. Last Sunday the electric lights were turned on full blast in church during the morning service, and it was not a dark church either. The other day I went out to Woodland, an hour's ride by rail from the capital, but I didn't see any country. I didn't see anything from the car window but fog. The train stopped on a side track a few miles out of Sacramento and I got off thinking to take a little walk, but found water on both sides of the track. Somebody told me we were in the midst of a water-overed swamp many square miles in extent. All this is very depressing to a Southern Californian—how depressing only those who have experienced it can know. I verily believe it affects the morals of this part of the State, which are notoriously bad. If I didn't have a return to beautiful beloved Southern California to look forward to I should certainly open a mental debate on the relative merits of drink and suicide as means of escape. LEGISLATIVE NOTES. Old-time hangers-on have been watching ever since the Legislature opened for the appearance on the scene of the railroad company's agents, but so far none have been seen. Indeed, the corporation seems to be taking no part in the passing events, and apparently has no friend to represent it in either house. The absence of the well-groomed lobbyists of other days is marked, and is regarded by the push as a sure indication that there is nothing in sight for the thrifty. Senator Stratton of Alameda will introduce a bill in the shape of a constitutional amendment, giving to counties the same right as is given to cities to hold freeholder elections for the purpose of framing a county government act, as to the number of officials, their salaries, deputies, etc. It will remove a grave objection to the present act by enabling a county to pay an official salary of $1000 without the State dictating that he shall be paid $10,000.

Except upon market days, one might have traveled any 50 miles along it between Highgate and York without meeting 50 people. Towns which literally lived by the road had drifted into a helpless somnolent condition, from which no apparent human agency could awaken them, and the stranger thereto was stared at as much as if he had been a highlander or an Iroquois in full warpaint. The highway itself, being of no particular value to anybody since the Great Northern railway began to whirl the old patrons of the road along at 45 miles an hour, was allowed to decay, and in wet seasons or snowy weather was well nigh impassable. The rage for wheeling has produced a rapid transformation. Station yourself at any point you like, and try to count the machines which pass on a fine Saturday afternoon during the course of an hour; and you will soon abandon the task as hopeless. Then, consider that every rider of every machine spends something during his trip, even if it be but the cost of a temperance drink. Consider that a very large number of Saturday riders sleep out and make good meals during their journey; that they are constantly spending something over and above their actual traveling expenses; that the wonderful extension of our acquaintance with our own country resulting from these peaceful invasions of it by the inhabitants, not merely of the metropolis, but of every city and considerable town in the land, has led to the Divorces Granted To Indians. HAVOC WHICH COURTS ARE CREATED IN ABORIGINAL TRIBAL RELATIONSHIP. With most of the plains Indian marries consist simply of picking out the man leading her to a cabin or wigwam and stalling her as mistress of the housecornfield, sometimes with the necessary liminary of paying the father a pony or or an installment of blankets, and occasionally with some slight ceremony, performed by a chief or medicine man. And when brave grows tired of his partner he calls her as easily as he won her. The people who are now flocking to Dakotas or Oklahoma to get divorces will be supremely happy if they could throw the galling bonds of wedlock as easily does the reservation Indian. The fact he been formally announced by the headman of the clan, the divorce takes place when tribe is gathered at a dance. When all assembled and the circle formed, the contented warrior strikes a drum used by revelers, gives away a few presents, offering a present to the squaw he intends take next, and then in a short bomb speech he stigmatizes his wife by giving over to the tender mercies of other men while they look upon him enviously consider that he has performed an bravery in his desertion. Often as many as half a dozen divers are thus obtained at a single dance; tedious waiting; no courts; no lawyers; no trouble about alimony or the customer children. And the squaws thus cast off a general thing, seem to take it as a measure using the wiles known and used by women of the world over in an effort to pair as speedily as possible the break-in hearts and matrimonial experiences. With the taking of the land in sequestration and putting on of citizenship, however Indian finds that he has cemented that there were so loose before; for the everywhere are deciding that the tribal riages are legal and binding upon the Indian who becomes a citizen. And if we wish one legal marriage we somehow heavily upon a white man, how must with the red man, who has contracted three, four or even more alliances which court now declares legal, and at this time takes away his former avenue of freedom. Mistaken Idea Of Teasera. It has been asserted by some one every human being has a right to piness. If that be the case, most miss it mightily—that's all we have say. A good deal of our failure is our own fault, but much is undeserved and purely the fate others. If we chose to stop and we would soon see also how we inflict unhappiness upon others most uncalled for way. When we find one of our friends an irritable mood, do we try to sit him or go away and let him alone by any means. We cast about in minds to see what suggestions we taking no part in the passing events, and apparently has no friend to represent it in either house. The absence of the well-groomed lobbyists of other days is marked, and is regarded by the push as a sure indication that there is nothing in sight for the thrifty. Senator Stratton of Alameda will introduce a bill in the shape of a constitutional amendment, giving to counties the same right as is given to cities to hold freshholder elections for the purpose of framing a county government act, as to the number of officials, their salaries, deputies, etc. It will remove a grave objection to the present act by enabling a county to pay an official salary of $1000 without the State dictating that he shall be paid $10,000. It is a step in the direction of home rule by countries that will be welcomed in all parts of the State. The proposition to pension superannuated school teachers is looked upon with disfavor; not only because of the added burden of taxation it would entail, but because few self-respecting and really worthy teachers favor the idea. The only theory upon which the proposition could be approved, would be that if teachers didn't have to have anything for old age or sickness they could spend more money for books and institute work and Chautauqua assembles and travel and all that sort of thing, and thus become better teachers. But how many of them would do it? Or if teachers adopted the profession from purely philanthropic or patriotic motives, the State might be considered under some obligation to them. But it is well known that nine out of ten teachers are teachers because they consider the salaries worth the service; salaries are good in California for teachers. And if teachers are to be pensioned, why not newspaper men? They wear out their lives in the public service, and many of them adopt the profession from purely patriotic and philanthropic motives. And that's no joke either. Of course an effort will be made to secure a reimbursment of woman's suffrage. I fear the proposition will not be favorsibly considered by the Legislature. There is a feeling prevalent that the movement lost strength through its defeat at the last election, that many who voted for it then would not vote for it again. However, as reimbursment would cost but little, and Californians are chivalrous, a vigorous campaign on the part of the women may succeed. After all Lindenberger of Riverside won out in the race for Chairmanship of the committee of irrigation. Or rather, Melick stepped aside in Lindenberger's favor, recognizing the latter's greater interest or at least equal ability. Melick gets the chairmanship of the new committee on commissioners and retrenchment, and will no doubt make a record. Both houses apparently fell down on the attaches business. And I will have to take back what I said last week about reduction of expenses in this regard. The reduction will amount to little or nothing. But I still maintain that the major part of the Legislature is composed of men who honestly mean to make a record for economic reform. They were compelled to make concessions in the matter of attaches in order to get support in more important matters. I noticed an editorial in the Los Angeles Times the other day in criticism of Governor Budd's recommendation of the consolidation of two or more of our assylums for the insane. The writer seemed to think that danger threatened the Southern California institution and wrote at length in its support and defense. There is no more danger of the Highland Asylum being closed up than that the Santa Ana river will be made navigable. The people of the State fully recognize and freely acknowledge the supremacy of Southern California in commercial and industrial as well as political importance. And our representatives in the Legislature know how to get what we want and need. The more I learn about the proposed new Department of Highways, the successor to the present temporary Bureau of Highways, the better I like it. I have not apt to go urday afternoon during the course of an hour, and you will soon abandon the task as hopeless. Then, consider that every rider of every machine spends something during his trip, even if it be but the cost of a temperance drink. Consider that a very large number of Saturday riders sleep out and make good meals during their journey; that they are constantly spending something over and above their actual traveling expenses; that the wonderful extension of our acquaintance with our own country resulting from these peaceful invasions of it by the inhabitants, not merely of the metropolis, but of every city and considerable town in the land, has led to the refurbishing up of such local lions as the castle, or the abbey, or the great Somebody's birthplace, or the waterfall, or the view (the inspection of all of which means the expenditure of money), and an approximate idea may be gained of the influence upon national trade which this pastime alone exercises.—Chambers' Journal. Superstitions About the Weather. Popular superstititions about the weather linger long, and in spite of the teachings of science people persist in believing that seaweed hung up in a backyard will become damp at in a backyard rain, or that a similar indication is to be found in fact that a pig is seen chewing straw. Mr. Richard Inwards, president of the Meteorological society, it is needless to say, has no belief whatever in such methods of prophecying the weather. What belief could be more firmly rooted in many people than the belief that if it rains on St. Swinth's day it will rain for 40 days? "An unadulterated fallacy," such is what Mr. Inwards calls it, yet in spite of the evidence accumulated upon the subject by the Meteorological office, people go on putting faith in it as though there were no such thing as experience. Then, again, it is said that a full moon will clear away clouds, and that a change of moon on a Saturday or a Sunday is an indication of floods, although not a little evidence in favor of either belief has ever been adduced.—London News. An Advantage. "What advantage do spiritualists have over other men?" "Their first wives always advise them to marry again."—Chicago Record. The Australian sword found in use among the aborigines when that country was first discovered by Europeans was modeled after the sword grass which grows wild in that continent. VOICE OF THE PRESS. THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY. From the San Bernardino Times Index. The Cerritos Sugar company of Los Angeles county, has been incorporated under the laws of this State. Its capital stock is $800,000, fully paid up. Facts and figures certified as correct by President Edward F. Dyer, are given in a prospectus of the company. By way of convincing farmers that there is a profit in the sugar beet business a statement made by Gustafson Bros. of Anaheim is quoted. It gives expenses and returns from cultivating 20 acres, and figures out a net profit for the growers of $1,375 40. In other words, the plowing, harrowing, seed, thinning, cultivating, tipping, digging, hauling, etc., costs $29 33 per acre, $50 per bore. Mistaken Idea of Tessera. It has been asserted by some one every human being has a right piness. If that be the case, most miss it mightily—that's all we have say. A good deal of our failure is happy is our own fault, but much is undeserved and purely far others. If we chose to stop and we would soon see also how we inflict unhappiness upon others most uncalled for way. When we find one of our friends an irritable mood, do we try to ask him or go away and let him alone by any means. We cast about his minds to see what suggestions we make that will irritate him at more. This we do as a wholesome son, we profess. We want to teach that there's no use in getting so about trifles. And what are we should set ourselves up as mentally teach anybody anything! Let them learn their own lessons from life. Is a better teacher than we couldibly be. Half the unhappiness that comes children's lives—nay, three-fourths may say—arises from the unkincing and irritation of those older their adult relatives. "Oh Mary cross!" they say, and then they pay to make her crosser if possible by petty aggravation they can think. This should be classed under them for cruelty to children, we think—adelphia Call. Critics and Managers. Mr. Charles Wyndham has expressed his contempt for the press like Mr. Penley's, absolute, but only to Christmastide criticisms holds, in short, that the critics are mad nor-nor-west. When he southerly, they know a hawk for heronshaw.' The truth is that actor managers are superstitious their reverence for the press so I will prophesy smooth things for A critic the other day got into apodice with a manager who she had slighted one of his products By way of conclusive testimony merits the manager sent him a graph emanating from an obscurity agency, to the effect that "if this one thing in the world leaks this theater understands it is due on Ohio tastes of the English people," was of course most gratifying. He beauty of it was that the writer paraphrase evidently had not an professor to have seen the play had sent the paraphrase to me with a demand for a couple of seas as to give further partitions next."

There is no more danger of the Highland Asylum being closed up than that the Santa Ana river will be made navigable. The people of the State fully recognize and freely acknowledge the supremacy of Southern California in commercial and industrial as well as political importance. And our representatives in the Legislature know how to get what we want and need. The more I learn about the proposed new Department of Highways, the successor to the present temporary Bureau of Highways, the better I like it. I have not space to go into the matter fully in this letter, but I want to urge the people of Southern California to look into the matter as far as may be and see to it that their representatives in the Legislature realize the importance of effecting the proposed legislation. A copy of the report of the bureau has been sent to all the county officials in the State, and can be seen by application to them. Anybody who wants a copy can get it by writing to the Bureau of Highways, Sacramento. "California in Relief," a map of the State, made by this bureau, attracts more attention and favorable comment than anything in the capitol building. No one who visits Sacramento should fail to see it. Indeed it is well worth while for anyone interested in good roads or the topography of the State to take a trip to the capital especially to see this map and talk with the Highway commissioners. They have certainly laid the foundation for systematic, scientific, economical road building in this State, and if their recommendations are carried out California will in a very few years achieve a world-wide fame for her magnificent highways. Speaker Coombs told me that he found more interest in and desire for places on the committee on highways than any other Assembly committee, and had been compelled to increase the membership from nine to fifteen, making it the largest of all the legislative committees.

The Cerritos Sugar company of Los Angeles county, has been incorporated under the laws of this State. Its capital stock is $800,000, fully paid up. Facts and figures, certified as correct by President Edward F. Dyer, are given in a prospectus of the company. By way of convincing farmers that there is a profit in the sugar beet business a statement made by Gustafson Bros. of Anaheim is quoted. It gives expenses and returns from cultivating 20 acres, and figures out a net profit for the growers $1,375 40. In other words, the plowing, harrowing, seed, thinning, cultivating, topping, digging, hauling, etc., costs $29 33 per acre, or $586 60; while the product brings $4 50 per ton for 436 tons or a total for the 20 acres of $1,962. This yield is little above the average—it runs all the way from 10 to 30 tons to the acre. The world's production of sugar in 1894 was, in round numbers, 8,100,000 tons, 3,125,500 tons of which was obtained from sugar cane, and 4,975,000 tons from the sugar beet, the production of sugar from the beet exceeding that of cane by 1,850,000 tons. The United States consumed in 1894 2,034,694 tons of sugar, valued at $128,871,-960, of which only 305,800 tons was of home production leaving a balance of 1,718,893 tons to be imported. To produce the quantity of sugar imported it will require, according to estimates, the erection of 460 factories with a capacity of 400 tons each daily. In a factory of the size mentioned 14 skilled men are employed by the year at salaries ranging from $350 per month (for superintendent) down to $50 per month; and during the season of 120 days, 78 men are employed at wages ranging from $2.50 to $1.50 per day. According to official statistics there are 485 sugar factories in Germany and 966-200 acres of land devoted to growing the beets. In the United States there are only seven factories. In Germany the ground yields 2,730 pounds of sugar per acre; at Chino in California it is 3,611.4. There the percentage of sugar extracted is 12.3 per cent; here it is 15.2. In 1894 there was imported into the United States sugar to the value of $128,871,960, and it is estimated that the consumption of sugar in this country will be doubled in the next 15 years. In view of these facts, is there any danger of overdoing the beet sugar business? It costs with the improved facilities now employed 3 cents per pound to make sugar that is quoted on the market at 43 cents. How about the profit? Doesn't this leave a pretty good margin for the maker? FORCES GRANTED TO INDIANS. WHICH COURTS ARE CREATING ORIGINAL TRIBAL RELATIONS, most of the plains Indian marriages simply of picking out the maiden, her to a cabin or wigwam and inhold, sometimes with the necessary prestitution of paying the father a pony or two, installment of blankets, and occasionwith some slight ceremony, performed or medicine man. And when the grows tired of his partner he can get as easily as he won her. people who are now flocking to the nor or Oklahoma to get divorces would remotely happy if they could throw off bonds of wedlock as easily as the reservation Indian. The fact having normally announced by the head man civilian, the divorce takes place when the gathered at a dance. When all are colled and the citole formed, the distressed warrior strikes a drum used by the men, gives away a few presents, oft-times a present to the squaw he intends to extend, and then in a short, bombastic he stigmatizes his wife by giving her to the tender mercies of other braves, they look upon him enviously and that he has performed an act of joy in his desertion. As many as half a dozen divorces obtained at a single dance. No waiting, no courts, no lawyers and able about alimony or the custody of men. And the squaws thus cast off, as natural thing, seem to take it as a matter whereo before the close of the dance being the wiles known and used by the of the world over in an effort to respeedily as possible the break in their and matrimonial experiences. With the taking of the land in severality settling on of citizenship, however, the finds that he has cemented the ties were so loose before, for the courts where are deciding that the tribal marriage legal and binding upon the Indian becomes a citizen. And if the weight of legal marriage wears somewhat y upon a white man, how must it be the red man, who has contracted two, four or even more alliances which the now declared legal, and at the same kakes away his former avenue of relief. Mistaken Idea of Teensera. has been asserted by some one that human being has a right to hapsa. If that be the case, most of us it mightily—that's all we have to do. A good deal of our failure to be is our own fault, but much of it deserved and purely the fault of us. If we chose to stop and think, would soon see also how we in turn not unhappiness upon others in a uncalled for way. when we find one of our friends in terrible mood, do we try to soothe nor go away and let him alone? Not any means. We cast about in our minds to see what suggestions we can SPEAKERS OF THE HOUSE. MANY WHO WERE FAMOUS AND MANY MORE WHO WERE NOT. There have been fifty-four Congresses. There have been thirty-two Speakers of the House of Representatives. When the term "Speaker" originated in England, it was the custom for the Sovereign to deliver oally to Parliament such communication as he desired to make at the commencement of a session. The House so addressed responded to the communication. The presiding officer headed a procession of members of the House, waited upon the Sovereign and read the response, thus speaking for the whole body; therefrom comes the term "Speaker," which we adopted from the British Parliament. The first Congress heard Washington's address, and prepared a reply, which the Speaker, accompanied by the members of the House, delivered to the President on May 8, 1789. Thomas Jefferson determined that his communications to Congress should be made by written message, and that no answer would be expected. This led to a general change in this regard in Congress and other American legislative bodies. Notwithstanding this, the title "speaker" has adhered and many of the former Speakers may be included, if not, indeed, all of them, in one of two classes; either they have become celebrated afterward in the field of national politics or they have become totally obscure. In the former class are to be included: Henry Clay, who was the Speaker in three Congresses, and was, moreover, a United States Senator, Secretary of State, repeatedly a candidate for President; John Bell of Tennessee, who was Secretary of War, United States Senator and a candidate for President in 1850; James K. Polk, who was the eleventh President of the United States, inaugurated in 1845, ten years after he became Speaker; Robert M. T. Hunter of Virginia, who was United States Senator and Confederate Secretary of War; Robert C. Winthrop of Massachusetts, who was a United States Senator from the Bay State; Howell Cobb of Georgia, who was Governor of that State, Secretary of the Treasury under President Buchanan, and a member of the Confederate Congress; Galaha A. Grow, a veteran member of Congress, who born in Connecticut in 1823, was elected in November a Representative from Pennsylvania; Nathaniel P. Banks, Schuyler Colfax, afterward Vice-President; James G. Blaine, twice Secretary of State, a United States Senator from Maine, and a candidate for President in 1884. John G Carroll, afterward United States Senator and new Secretary of the Treasury; Charles F. Crisp of Georgia and Thomas B Reed, the present Speaker of Congress and the slated Speaker of the next Congress. These are some—but not all—of the Speakers who have obtained celebrity. The list of Speakers who are little remembered is perhaps even longer. In recent years there has been J. Warren Keifer of Ohio. Before the war there was William Pennington of New Jersey, who had been Governor of that State—he was elected Governor twenty-three years before he became Speaker; and there was Andrew Stevenson of Virginia, who presided over the deliberations of four successive American Con- Mistaken Idea of Tessera.
