Acc to Secretary Fried- lander there are many things to be con- sidered. The plan of raising money for the preliminary expenses suggegted by . the president of the as- sociation, will probably be brought for- ward. Mr. Thomas thinks it will not be difficult, by thoroughly organizing the friends of irrigation in all parts of the State, to get 25,00 members to pay 33 each for membership dues. Some plan s nec essary to get the requisite funds to pro- vide for the current expenses for some time, s the struggle will be long before the impounding of the State’s flood waters can be accomplished.

The Governor May Settle the Question by Selecting General M. Scott fo HERE fis a deal of talk in political | circles that Governor Gage will settle the question of the vacant Senatorship for the present by ap- pointment. The talk is prompted by the reports from Washington that the Senate will admit Mr. Quay of Pennsy vania on his certificate of appointment by the Governor of that State. It is known that the Governor of Call- fornia 18 not charmed with the idea of calling the members of the Legislature it he can | find any way of filling the vacancy other | than the spectal session plan he will not | hesitate to grasp it. | The question is frequently asked, Whom will the Governor appoint? Six months | ago the opinion was universally expressed | that D. M. Burns would be named, hut | the views of politiclans In this regard have undergone a change. Men who were next to Burns at Sacramento last winter and still retain his confidence assert posi- tively that the colonel will not accept a commission by appointment. He Is anx- fous for an extra session, belleving or pro- fessing to belleve that he would be the caucus nomir Btories to the effect that | Burns has the promise of a sufficient number of votes to control the proposed caucus have no more foundation in fact than the frequently repeated statements last winter had that he would be elected “next Thursday. There is one good reason why Burns does not desire to be appointed to the United States Senate. He is fully con- scious of the fact that his term of service He recog- nizes that the Senator appointed by Gov- ernor Gage must be the Republican can- didate before the people In the campaign of 190, when members of the Legislature will be chosen. Burns has sufficient poli- | 0+0+3+0+040+40 + ¢ National (4 : : Barnes or Irving r the Toga. ' tical sagacity to comprehend that would be beaten out of sight were the question submitted to the people. Hence he desires an extra session of the existing Legislature, so that if chosen his term would last five years. Since the inauguration Republican State he of the present administration Burns has secured pretty much all the patron- age at the disposal of the Governor. much has n given that Gage is quoted had enough, 1 propose to recognize others.” Politic do not regard it as a sure thing by any | means that Burns will be tendered tre Senatorial appointment. There Is plenty of gossip to the effect that General Baraes is higbly regarded by the Governor. ing M. Scott Is also mentioned as another favorite. It Is common rumor that Gage entertains lofty admiration for the ora- torical abilities of General Barnes, and fancies the general would, United States Senator, reflect great honor on lifornia. Agaln, it Is asserted that Gen- eral Barnes, as the logical Republican nominee before the Legislature which convenes in January, 1901, would display such ability in the campalgn next year that the Republicans would run the Leg- islature, even if Mayor Phelan with his local prestige were put forward as the millionaire candidate of the Democrutic party. All the politicians agree that the ap- pointed Senator must be the recognized nominee of the Republican party at the next regular session of the Legislature. Of course, the Governor could appoint at | the present time and call an extra session of the Legislature next summer to indorse the appointment or elect a new man, but such a proceeding is highly improbable, as there is a limit to the patience of the peo- ple. l MEE SILVER AND MB, BRYAN How the Money Was Handled. | which were not accounted for | is circulated that Dispatches received In San Francisco from New York and Chicago disclose the fact that a suspicion exists In the East that the Democratic National Committe received large sums of money In 3% The rumor Charles D. Lane con- tributed a handsome sum of money to the campaign fund and that there is no record of the receipt of the contribution. | Inquiries made among the well-informed Democrats in San Francisco do not estab- | lish the truth of the sta contributed directly to the Democratic campaign fund. Lane is a cheerful giver. He gave so generously of his means to help the cause of the free silverites that | he was advised by his business associates | to beware of the bunko schemes of clever | politicians. The Impression exists that Lane personally assisted Bryan, but the extent of the assistance is not mentioned “The fact that C. D, Lane spent per- baps $100,000 in the interest of Mr. Bryan and free silver is not any secret,” said a member of the silver party’s State execu. tive committee of 18%. *“'Of course, when I say Lane, I mean Lane and Hobart, for I understood that they contributed joint- ly. Of this money about $50.000 was given to the national committee, $20.000 to the State stlver party and I belleve $1000 to the Democratic State Central Committee. A great deal has been said about the ex- penditure of Lane’'s money In this State, and that much of it was squandered. Peo- ple who talk this way are not acquainted with the facts. The sllver party’s finances were handled In the most businesslike way, and Mr. Lane was really personally responsible for the contraction and pay- ment of every biil. ““The sliver committee in this State orig- inated with Mr. Lane. he did not cnlncll?e with some of the methods of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee, and de- cided to have an independent campaign. e ed all the officers of the commit- tee, and 1 think that among them were Attorney George W. Baker and ex-Senator Frank J. MofMitt. The executive commit- tee planned a very complete campaign, and Mr. Lane attended to the financial end. Every blll was authorized from his office, and after being Indorsed by Judge Lawlor and the officers of the executive committee it was taken back to Lane's office, In the Hobart bullding, where his | own bookkeeper and cashier finally audit- | ed it and pald the money. The bhooks the handling of ampaign fund show that it was one of the most | businesslike pieces of politics ever done in this State. “If I remember aright, the Democratic State Committee asked Lane and Hay- ward for a contribution and recelved 1000, but T am not certain of this, though know the sum was no larger, | “But it was to the nationai committee | that Lane ve the most coln. At the | St. Louis silver convention Lane paid for | almost everything. Had it not been for him the hall might not have been ob- | tained, and he gave Immense sums to the | prosecution of the campalgn. | ——— OFFICTAL RESULT DECLARED.

STATE OFACERS SALARIES CUT Reduction Amounts to $16,992 Per Year. et Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Nov. 2I.—A cut was made this afternoon in the salaries of the employes of the State Hospitals for | the Insane, which will result In a gross saving to the State of $16983 per year. This action was taken by the State Com- | misslon of Lunacy. The Governor introduced a resolution favoring the employment of a woman physician in those hospitals where there | are three assistant physiclans. He said he would ask the next Legislature to pro- vide a separate asylum for wcmen physi- clans. The new schedule of the salaries will affect the leading positions at the vari- ous State hospitals for the Insane as fol- Napa—Medical superiniendent, old 0; first assist- 0, new $1%0; | 32500, new istant re- $1600. | mains at $1 Stockton—Medical from $3500 tc $3000; from $2500 1o $2100; from $2500 to $1900; superintendent, first assistant, second assistant, third assistant, ent cut cat cut At Mendocino the salary of the medi- cal superintendent will remain as at pres- ent, $3000 per year. At Agnews it is reduced from $3500 to $2000; at the Southern California Hospital, from $350 1o 33000, while In each instance the salaries of assistants have been read- justed in a manner calculated to disturb 1he enjoyment of Thanksgiving among the Incumbents.
