He spoke rapidly and with much feeling | | for the misdemeanors of the pri demanded that his bill allow: killing of unfriendly reporters and mis- guided editors be reported upon favor- ably by the committee. The few mem- bers of the committee who finaliy would not | stand for it, however, but on Wccount ofthe Santa Glara Senator’s passiopate appeal for editorial blood voted - to return the precious legislation to the Senate without recommendation of any kind—*so that Senator Morehouse may fight it out on the floor.” A few bills of minor importance con- sumed the time of the committee until close to 10 o’clock and the Senate bill | No. 197 was called up and Mr. More- house started in on his career of war and reportorial slaughter. | The journalists he assailed were all in the habit of filling their ink bottles with gall and poison and using pens of either the caustic or trenchant brand. He quoted from the immortal Shake- speare to show that killing editors was a most laudable occupation and he re- ferred to that passage in the Bible which tells of the slaying of the Egyp- tians by Moses to show that sometimes if a man only selects the proper victim he may rise to the dignity of a king or get into the Senate. He made no refer- ence to Mr. Kenneally of the Assembly nor to his efforts on behalf of the Cor- oner. “It was a good speech, Senator,” sald Senator Curtin from Tuolumne, and it was a good roast. price of boiler iron, s and coffins, and for a while made the new paper man’s field of operations a drea waste, and the suggestion of punctured and bleeding reporters hung upo:u the room which, singularly enough, wa Court.

Both speakers saw much that was good in the newspaper, but omitted to meition it; they saw much that was bad, and spent much time on the same, and not being newspaper men they could see clearly the remedy for it a When it came to a vote, however, the | committee stood 3 to 2 against a favor- able recommendation for the bill and then it decided unanimously to refer | the measure to promote murder under stress of ready-made excitement or cultivated .bitterness back to the Sen- aper should be | ., jsolated jsland was the for them, and if not then the resolution would not appiy to any one.

CALL ~ HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 6.—Assemblyman ..uenter of San Joaquin has a bill coming up be- fore the Senate Committee on Judiciary within a very few days that is already attracting the attention of stockholders in the national banks of this State ana upon which there bids fair to be centered a hot fight before it is finally passed by the Senate. The reason for corporation opposition to Mr. Muenter's bill is that if | his measure is enacted the owners of na- tional bank stock will be compelled to pay their just t on_over $9.000,000 of stock that is now owned in this State and upon which there has never been a dollar | collected for the State’s support.

I submit to you, sirs, that this is so. Why cannot we get together as in the old days, de- cide upon what we want in caucus and come out here on this floor and settle this thing as men should?” It was evident when Mr. Shortridge made reference to caucus in his single- handed attempt to stampede the dila- tory legislators into a meeting, that Dan Burns was the power that pulled the string. Senator Cutter of Yuba was on his feet before the hangings on the gal- leries had ceased to rustle, and ripped out: “Well, I'm glad to see that the people from Santa Clara have at last come to the conclusion that a caucus is the best thing that could happen.” “Hold on, there,” vyelled Senator Morehouse. “Cut out that Santa Clara and make it Shortridge. Santa Clara wants no caucus.” “I want to say,” continued Mr. Cut- ter, “that this conclusion is commend- able, although it is two years late. I remember two years ago, when the gentleman had a brother a candidate for this position, he would go into cau- cus under no consideration, for he knew that if he did so the Republican party would throw a man out of the race the people of this State did not want, and I want to say that no man and no power under the canopy of heaven can force us into a caucus that would now elect another man to the United States Senate whom the people of this State do not want, either.” Mr. Bettman got his breath at this point and replied to Cutter in charac- teristic manner, and then Mr. Mead. of the minority, said he did not see why the minority should be afflicted with all this, and he moved that it be made the special order. for the next Republican caucus. / President Flint wound up the spec- tacular proceedings by putting Mr. Shortridge’s resolution to a vote and a chorus of noes sent the Santa Claran back to his seat. There was no change in the ballot. It was the same as on_ Saturday and when Assemblyman Belshaw moved adjournment there was no opposition.
