Like all other ex- pansionists of the present imperialistic or Asiatic annexation type, Mr. James fails to perceive the distinction between | immuitable principles and varying con- | ditions. The moral law is not a penal | code, but it has remained the same | Snce the days of Moses. The Ameri- can constitution is not a legislative di- gest, but a grant of power adapted to the combined necessities of a nation, and resting upon fixed principles that are as eternal as the soul of man. If the Declaration of Independence was not a tissue of falsehoods it applies as State Legislature is the most unpopular measure ever introduced for the supposed benefit of the residents of Santa Clara Valley. At the meeting of the Farmers Club this afterncon it was denounced as a viclous measure intended only to fleece the taxpayers and make fat places for politicians. Its adoption means an addi- tional expense of $40,000 to $50,000 a year in the running of the county. The following resolutions were unani- mously adopted: “Resolved, By the Santa Clara County Farmers’ Club that whereas certain S B = vicious legislation i{s proposed under the | :ne;t‘r;re;n1:;-h:ur:)?:n‘!:txlslr;n::):n:gr(‘\‘;la a;; county government act affecting the most B e Baumo rizhti e obatd witg] interests of Santa Clara County, /mich we regard as an attempt to rob ‘e taxpayers of many thousands of dol- .ars a year in the appointment of a lot of unnecessary officers and a removal of the Safvguar:{‘s surrounding the letting of ; an “Whereas, The attempted robbery is being tried under cover of an omnibus act affecting the whole State, but par- ticularly applying to counties of the fourth ¢ ..dot which Santa Clara is the an Sald measure has passed the of the Legislature; be it the heroes of the Revolution into sub- mission to his arbitrary authority then we have no right to dominate the Fili- pinos by shot and by shell. Indeed the attitude of King George was more plausible than our own, because the thirteen colonles sprang from British stock and had been for generations under the dominion of the British crown, whereas the Filipinos are alien to us in race, in history and in govern- ment, and the only pretext we have for the acquisition of the Philippines is that wé purchased them from Spain, against whose authority, in exatt cor- respondence with our own political theory, the Filipinos had persistently rebelled. If the expansionists are right the founders of this republic were wrong and our constitutional system’| should be replaced by British expedi- ency, that protects liberty at home and administers imperialism abroad. But if it be true that our constitution is too circumscribed for the conditions therefore “Resolved, That our honorable Senators Shortridge and Morehouse are hereby re- quested to use all means in their power to frustrate this attempt at robbery; and be it further “Resolved, That a committee be ap: pointed to visit Sacramento to aid in this work.” A committee of three will go to Sacra- mento to fight the measure.

FIVE YOUNG WOMEN PURSUE A THIEF Encompacs the Capture of the Cul- prit After an Extended Chase. SANTA CRUZ, March 4.—Pedestrians on a street in the residence portion of the city were this afterhoon treated to the spectacle of a burglar being pursued by five young women, who eventually en- compassed his capture. The fellow at- tempted to enter A. Jennings’ residence, andwas detected by a young woman liv- ing in an-adjoining house. She hastened to give the alarm, but the only persons she could find were four others of her | sex. The five pluckily started out to cap-| ture the burglar. As they approached the culprit took to his heels, and they fol- lowed at the top of their speed. After a | couple of blocks had been traversed the burglar, In turning a corner, ran plump into the arms of two men, who grappled with him and held him. He was turned over to a policeman, who landed him in the city prison.

To the “Father of with which we are now confronted then it would seem that it must be formally repudiated. We are not in a state of anarchy, and while our present government lasts, as it has no legal existence except under the constitution, that national charter must be respected. It provides a mode of amendment, but it does not provide for its own destruc- tion, and as it is legally operative over every foot of soil that belongs to the United States and as it embraces no powers that are not expressed or neces- sarily implied, then, short or long, tem- porary Or durable, unless it confers some authority for Asiatic® extension the retention and administration of the Philippines would be a sheer usurpa- tion. The dilemmas in which the Amer- jcan people would be entangled by the fluctuating demands of the expansion- ists are so numerous and so intricate that they will have either to be cut’by So much for the views of Mr. James on the constitution. When he refers to Washington, the anniversary of whose birth was this year celebrated with more than ordinary enthusiasm, he is his Country” he attributes a “magnifi- cent personality,” but as he never rode on a trolley or a railroad and had not been prophetically educated in the mod- ern applications of electricity, we are informed that, although “not a back number,” “his ashes are not up to date.” If Washington was not scien- tifically inspired at least he had a pro- ¥ EXPANSION AND THE CONSTITUTION. phetic vision for his country and an- ticipated and endeavored to counteract the retrogressive tendencies of the ex- pansionists. He and his compatriots framed a new form of government and produced the conditions that, without treachery to its principles, assured its permanence. But Washington foresaw that a time might come when there would be a concerted effort to revert to the repudiated type of governmentt that originated in divine right, the an- tithesis of the sovereignty of man, that characterized the middle ages. His fears have been justified, for it is not some new advance, not discovered when our constitution was formed, that the expansionists p»opose, but a reversion to the substance, perhaps to the very forms, that, in his double capacity of General and President, Washington so largely aided to overthrow. It is for- tunate that the last celebration in honor of his memory proved that “even in his ashes live their wonted fires,” for the theme of most of those who con- tributed to the education of the day was the maintenance and the perpe- tuity of the American republic, with its. cornerstone unchanged. ‘“‘And whoso- ever shall fall on this stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall it will grind him into powder.” Our country is not yet to be turned into an imperial missionary, spreading Ameri- can civilization with navies and armies among benighted Asiatics, or marching arm in arm with Great Britain toward universal dominion. A few of the other suggestions of Mr. James grew out of the basic miscon ception to which I have alluded, For example he doubts whether Solomon would have made a satisfactory presi- dent of the Stanford University. That admirable institution is fortunate in the possession of a president who is at least on the road to greatness, but if it"were deprived of his services I think he would agree with me that a resus- citated Solomon would make an excel- lent substitute, who would probably learn the new facts that Mr. James con- founds with principles with unusual facility. He would be likely also, as he grasped the projects of American ex- pansionists, to repeat his declaration that ‘“there is nothing new under the sun,” and to disagree with Mr. James about the inapplicability of the pre- cedent of republican Rome. And al- though it might take some months or years for Washington to master the in- ventions of a century, if he revived it is my deliberate opinion that he would make a greater President than ever. With due reverence I would rather see him sitting on President McKinley than, as represented by a New York pictorial, President McKinley sitting on him. However, there is probably no occasion for either to sit on the other, as I have yet to learn that our present chief magistrate is infected with the imperial delirium, which is also rapidly dying out among the loyal citizens of the country. 1 appreciate the courtesy and the graphic terseness of Mr. James, but I still remain an American, wedded to the constitution and politically tied to this continent, while rejoicing at the com- mercial prospect that, if we are true to ourselves, will obscure.

In relation to adverse pos- session in this State the law says: For the purpose of constituting an adverse possession by a person claiming title, not founded upon a written instrument, judgment or decree, land is deemed to have been pos- sessed and occupied in the following manner First—Where it has been protected by a substantial enclosure. Second—Where it has been usually cultivated or improved. Pro- vided, however, that in no case shall adverse only: possession be coneidered established under the | Provision of any of the sections or section of this code, unless it shall be shown that the land has been occuoied and claimed for the period of five years continuously, and the party or persons, their predecessors and grantors, have paid all the taxes, State, county or muni- cipal which have been levied and assess upon such land In the case cited in the letter of inquiry it appears that the owner of the land has never given up possession thereof and that the tenant is a tenant at will, and may, on-thirty days' notice, be required to vacate. The condition upon which the tenant became possessed of the property would in all probability, if the case should come into court, not change the position of tenant at will. VOTING MACHINE—Reader, San Jose, Cal. No State has yet adopted a voting machine, though in several sectlons of the country there have been experiments in a smail way with machines. One of the most satisfactory that has been tried of late years is that invented by John W. Raines of 8t. Paul, Minn., which he calls a votograph. It is provided with a set of keys of one color for the Republican party, one of another color for the Dem- o cratic party and there may be as many different sets of colored keys as there are parties. There is a space for the par- ticular office and another for the names of candidates for that office. The voter Rresses down one of the keys to indicate is choice for a candidate, and as he does so it locks the keys of all candidates for the same office, so that there cannot be any repeating. As the vote is cast for the candidate the total number of votes is registered, so that at the close of the polls, when the machine is opened the to- tal number of votes cast for each candi- date -gpenn and inside of ten minutes after the machine is opened the result of the vote can be announced. Another fea- ture is that when the voter nas voted for all_he wishes to the machine is locked, and can only be reset for the next voter when _the voter has left the bopth. Those who have an Interest for purity of elec- tion demand a machine that will be per- fect and simple, so that a voter will not be confused when voting. no European combinations | “God tempers the’ d measures the cold to the | The following Is a list of the | FASTEST MILE MADE AWHEEL Fournier’'sTandem Low- ers All Records.

Bpeclal Dispatch to The Call, SAN JOSBE, March 4—The bicycle racers stormed the town to-day, and the Garden City gave up to them with< out a murmur. The occasion was the | opening of a big two days’ meet at Cy- | Lclers' Park, and all the cracks who | have recently been competing in San Francisco are here to contest for honor ;and money. The races began at 2 o'clock in the | afternoon. The event of the day was | a ten-mile match race between Orlando | I. Stevens of Towa and Harry M. Gib- son of Cincinnati. Stevens was paced by Fournier's “infernal machine” and | Gibson by two triplets and three tan- dems. Fournier, by sitting almost upright on his motor machine, was able to shield Stevens almost entirely from | the wind, and this advantage was so great in Stevens’ favor that he caught | and passed Gibson after they had rid- | | den three miles. Stevens kept right on, and Gibson also stuck bravely to his work, although he must have known it was a losing game. Stevens was paced | so fast. however, that in the seventh | | mile he again passed his opponent. Gibson’s pacemakers then tacked on behind Stevens ‘and held their man | even for another mile, the order being | Fournier’'s machine, then Stevens, Gib- | son’s triplet pacing machine, then Gib~ | son. The pace was a little too hot for | “Michael No. 2,” however, and on,the ninth lap Gibson faltered, losing his pace and falling back a half lap. Ste- vens never failed and held the killing pace to the end, finishing strong. Stevens won the ynatch and the purse, | | his time for the ten miles being 119:38 2-5. Gibson finished the full dis- | tance, though beaten two laps. Stevens rode every mile in less than two min- utes. | The one-mile handicap professional event was run in three heats and a final, and proved very interesting, as| nearly all the cracks were entered. In | the first heat the starters were Teddy Goodman, 15 yard William Furman, 25; Al Weinig, 40; Charles Turville, H { and Charles S. Wells, 90. Furman is in | fine condition and when the sprint came | he was right there, winning from Wells | in a dashing ride. Goodman was third | and Weinig fourth. Time, 2: | In the second heat were Jay Eaton on yards; | seratch; Hardy Downipg, 15 | John Chapman, 30; Earl D. Stevens, 3: | and Henry Pilkington, 135. Eaton punc | tured his tire on the second lap and | was out of it. The back mark men | would not exchange pace and conse- | | quently Pilkington virtually walked in. | | Time, 2:23 2- Downing had no diffi- | | culty in disposing of the others for sec- | ond place and Stevens took third. The third heat was the most interest- ing and proved the fastest of the three. The starters were Iver Lawson, 20 | yards; Frank Cotter, 25; Tom Barna- by, 35; Ed Leonart, 35; Fredericks, 75; Nawn, 60; Clem Turville, 100. By ex-| changing pace Cotter and Lawson soon cut down the leaders, and, once in front, won as they pleased in the order named, Leonart taking third and Tur- ville fourth. Time, 2:11 1-5. The starters in_the final heat were Furman, Wells, Pilkington, Downing, | Cotter, Lawson and Leonart. Wells and Pilkington paced each other from the long handicaps, and Cotter did the donkey work for the back mark men, hoping to pull through his team mate, Downing. According to schedule, Cot- ter dropped out on the last lap, and | Downing forged ahead, but they had | of the Bay City Wheelmen, and Iver | Lawson and Eddie Leonart. These | three were still “in it,” and, pasSing Wells and Pilkington on the last turn, | the quartet forged ahead and fought it | out down the home stretch, Furman | winning, Downing second, Lawson | third and Leonart fourth. The time was 2:10. | _Mons. Henr{ Fournier of Paris and | | Tom Barnaby of Boston brought out | Fournier’s famous motor tandem for an exhibition mile. Fournier could not | make much speed out of his tandem on the San Francisco track, owing to the difficulty of controlling it on the short | turns, but on the big track here it was | easy, and they covered the mile in the astonishing time of 1:35, which is the | fastest mile ever ridden on a track in California on a bicycle, horse or any- thing that doesn’t run on rails. The performance was warmly applauded. The starters in the Australian pur- suit race were: Downing-Cotter, Chap-. man-Furman, Turville-Goodman, Ju~ lius-Lawson and Fredericks-Nawn. The nature of the race was that the teams should start at five different points on the track and ride until one team had overtaken and passed all the others. The race was very exciting and for a | while the men remained equally as far apart as when they started. Finally, after three miles riding, Fredericks and Nawn caught Goodman and Turville and the latter team at once quit. Fred- ericks and Nawn then went after Downing and Cotter and caught them after a mile chase, passing Furman and Chapman in the meantime. They then had left only Lawson and Julius to overtake, but the latter team did not | give in so easily. In fact both teams | were strong, all four riders being re- cent contestants in the six-day race in | San Francisco and well conditioned for a long, hard ride. On the back stretch Fredericks and Nawn met with a mis- hap, however, puncturing their front tire, and they had to give it up, much to their disgust. Julius and Lawson passed them and finished the ride up to six miles, which they did in 12:21, a new world’s record for the distance, the best previous time being 12:54.

Bakersfield Saloon Men Against Ice Dealers. BAKERSFIELD, March 4—A few days ago three ice companies doing business here—the National, the Union and the San Joaquin—formed a combine, put the business under one management and raised the price of ice 100 per cent. Now the saloon men, about sixty in number, have organized to buy ice from an inde- pendent firm at Stockton at a much lower figure. They will establish an ice depot at the Valley road and ship over that line. In time they will supply other consumers. They will not patronize the combine under any circumstances. They ordered thelr first carload to-night. A ampio rville, Second John 1i BLACK SPIDER’'S RICH ORE. Averages Almost a Thousand Dollars | to the Ton.
