The bill is now. -being pre. pared by the “California Society for) ‘the Exemption of Houses of Religious Worship From Taxation,” which. was . organized about a month ago for the . purpose of fathering the project. ‘The! ‘officers of the society . are: ‘d President, Bishop William F. Nichols: of the Episcopal church; vice president, Rev. J. W: Dinsmote of San Jose; seoretary, J. F. Drum of San’ Francisco. The executive committee is made up of ministers and laymen representing every religious denomination in the State. Petitions have been distributed all over the State asking for the pascasas signatures. As soon asall these petitions are returned the bill will be sub‘mitted to the Legislature. ffvery State in the Union, with the constitution of this State, however, provides that all property must be church property. In 1853 a law. was passed by the Legislature exempting this class of property, In but few of the Eastern States is the exémption limited to the church buildings and the land on which they are built, being much more sweeping. The leaders of the movementare conand they believe that the Legislature will grant the petition. ad Mrs. Blakey’s Bond Reduced.

Burns had “lifted the Republican party out of the depth of infamy.” What I did say was this: “Had Col. Burns told Mr. de Young that he would and has coveted for years, Col. B, would be described in the columns of the Chronicle as Gne of the most upright, honorable and unselfish men that, ever helped to lift the party out of the depths of infamy to which the Democ-. ness was Mrs. Burns. racy sought to consign it.” Thirdly, he says that I said in my letter to the Transonipt: “If I werein the Legislature I would vote for D.M, Burns, defaulter, but a man of will power and boss of our party.” What I did say was this: “If I was in the Legislature, and the conditiow® exist as they do, forthe sake’ of fairness, for the sake of justice, for the honor which all men hold dear, I would vote for Daniel M.

He~had India for transmitting power 250 miles, miners in some cases being prepared to pay $500 and even $900 per annum for each horse-power. Many other industries might be: benefitted by tapping distant sources of power, such as irrigation in Egypt, and he has found that the electric lighting of Cairo could be done cheaper by power generated 400 miles away, at the First Cataract, than by steam engines in that city.

Burns had “lifted the Republican party out of the depth of infamy.” What I did say was this: “Had Col. Burns told Mr. de Young that he would and has coveted for years, Col. B, would be described in the columns of the Chronicle as Gne of the most upright, honorable and unselfish men that, ever helped to lift the party out of the depths of infamy to which the Democ-. ness was Mrs. Burns. racy sought to consign it.” Thirdly, he says that I said in my letter to the Transonipt: “If I werein the Legislature I would vote for D.M, Burns, defaulter, but a man of will power and boss of our party.” What I did say was this: “If I was in the Legislature, and the conditiow® exist as they do, forthe sake’ of fairness, for the sake of justice, for the honor which all men hold dear, I would vote for Daniel M. Burns.” This bushwhacker, this guerrilla, this assassin in the dark—this man who is ashamed to, or afraid of, signing his name, but, coward-like, hides under a nom-de-plume—this man, who is but a puny type of those I have been. trying for years=yes, years—to make themselves responsible for their utterances —this man who has taken in his keeping the good name of the Democratic party of this State—this skulker, this garbler, this deceiver of his came 3 wants to know whol am.

At that time Burns was 28 years of age and Miss Whitney 22. ‘They were married on the following day. “Little is known of the married life of the.couple save what is disclosed in the complaint filed by Burns.

Electrical power has been transmitted 108 miles with 70 per cgnt of efficiency. “Much, more is possible, and Prof. George Forbes, speaking in London the other day, expressed the opinion that the power of the Victoria Falls on the Zambesi might be economically carried 500 miles for the development of mining of Rhodesia. He~had India for transmitting power 250 miles, miners in some cases being prepared to pay $500 and even $900 per annum for each horse-power. Many other industries might be: benefitted by tapping distant sources of power, such as irrigation in Egypt, and he has found that the electric lighting of Cairo could be done cheaper by power generated 400 miles away, at the First Cataract, than by steam engines in that city.
