Noone is free. The lash is held over all who will not obey their commanders. Shakespeare puts in the mouth of Cassius: “Upon what meat doth this our Cassar feed, that he has grown so great?” The same ques‘tion might well be asked of our wouldbe editorial rulers. A little judicious shooting might have a good effect. To carry out my ideas in this matter, I will again quote from Shakespeare. My quotation is from the remarks made by Iago to Othello, where he is endeavoring to. goad him on to that insensate jealousy which finally ended in the death of the unfortunate but loving Desdemona: . “Who steals my purse steals trasb; ’tis something, nothing; e ’T was mine, ’tis his and has been slave to thousands; But he that filches from me my good name, Robs me of him, © And makes me poor indeed.” The point is so obvious that it needs no further elaboration. » A few more words and I am through with this subject. Shortly before his term of office as State Treasurer expired, W. S. Green made some sugges‘tions as to the abolishment of the office of County Treasurer, stating that much money might be saved thereby. I shall not go into details, as your readers are no doubt familiar with them. I have a better scheme than that, and thousands upon thousands of dollars will be saved to the people of the State by its adoption. Let the present Legislature submit to the voters anamendment to Article VI, section 1, of the State Constitution. Strike out all of this section, and those that follow, down to and including section 24, and in lieu of all submit the following: “The judicial power cf the State shall be vested in the managing editors of the daily papers in San Francisco, and such reporters and subordinates as they may appoint. ‘There shall be no appeal from such judgment as they may find, and no evidence shall be required for such findings, except such as may evolve from their diseased brains and malevolent hearts; provided, that where there is a diversity of opinion among said managing edithat which not enriches dict is carried out. In no case shall testimony be taken. All parts of this Constitution in confiict with this section are hereby repealed. Said editors shall serve without compensation.” It might ‘as well’'be submitted and carried. They. are doing this every day, or attempting to do it. give them full scope? One of the most eminent Judges, not only in this State but in the United States—Judge Coffey—has complained to me of this interference of the press in matters that are in process adjudication. Other Judges have also complained. Now, if Mr. Green’s suggestions to save the countiés and the State a great deal of money have any merit, why are not mine of still greater benefit? Mine would save dollars where his would save cents. As I draw this letter toa close I desire to say that the Bulletin.is a remarkable exemption from the remarks I have made, as far as the city papers are concerned.

With over thirty thousand members in the State and a glowing prospect for the future'welfare of the order, it is eminently befitting that ‘the Golden Jubilee of Odd Fellowship should be celerated in an elaborate. and impressive manner. ; Already a committee appointed by the Grand Lodge is making active preparations fora monster demonstration in San Francisco during the Grand Encampment in October. It is purposed «holding a pageant which shall eclipse anything of a similar nature ever held on the Coast. Judging from the manner in which it is being agitated, the celebration will not fall short of expectations. It is obvious, however, that our State is too broad to admit of the San Francisco celebration being participated in by more than a favored portidh of the members of.the order, and hence it is urged that in other places celebrations should be-held which, though of lesser magnitude, shall not be less in enthusjiasm. Some of the members of Oustomah Lodge of this City favor holding a grand jubilee at this place on the ninth of Septempber and inviting all the lodges of Nevada, Sierra, Placer and Yuba counties to participate. Every citizen, be he an Odd Fellow or not, would lend every. assistance in his power toward the success of the undertaking. The date is yet distant, but a long pull and a strong pull would be bration all that it should be. bier at tall Sulphur For Rheumatism and Grip. It is-claimed that on ranches where walnuts are prepared for the market the shells are bleached by the use of brimstone fumes, the men who have charge of that work are never touched by the grippe, influenza or other epidemics which attack their fellow laborers on the same estate. It is also asserted that. half a teaspoonful of sulphur placed in each shoe or stocking will prove a perfect protection against rheumatism, as well as against yellow fever, cholera and other epidemic diseases; also that those working in'the sulphur mines of Italy escape the malaria which prevails all about them. To be Buried Tomorrow. At two o’clock tomorrow afternoon the funeral of the late Barzilla Taylor, who died yesterday afternoon ‘as the result of a short illness, will take place Why not\ from the schoolhouse at Rough and Ready. It will be under the auspices of Mountain Rose Lodge of Odd Fellows. Mr. Taylor was an old resident of the lower part of the county/and was well thought of. Consumption .

The father and son had been absent about a year and it may be the happiness of the reunion, ‘taken with the weakened condition of Mrs. Bigelow’s heart and an attack of bronchitis as an aggravating cause that. precipitated the fatality. The simple facts of the case are that there was no display of gold dust or nuggets and that there was none in the possession of either My.

Noone is free. The lash is held over all who will not obey their commanders. Shakespeare puts in the mouth of Cassius: “Upon what meat doth this our Cassar feed, that he has grown so great?” The same ques‘tion might well be asked of our wouldbe editorial rulers. A little judicious shooting might have a good effect. To carry out my ideas in this matter, I will again quote from Shakespeare. My quotation is from the remarks made by Iago to Othello, where he is endeavoring to. goad him on to that insensate jealousy which finally ended in the death of the unfortunate but loving Desdemona: . “Who steals my purse steals trasb; ’tis something, nothing; e ’T was mine, ’tis his and has been slave to thousands; But he that filches from me my good name, Robs me of him, © And makes me poor indeed.” The point is so obvious that it needs no further elaboration. » A few more words and I am through with this subject. Shortly before his term of office as State Treasurer expired, W. S. Green made some sugges‘tions as to the abolishment of the office of County Treasurer, stating that much money might be saved thereby. I shall not go into details, as your readers are no doubt familiar with them. I have a better scheme than that, and thousands upon thousands of dollars will be saved to the people of the State by its adoption. Let the present Legislature submit to the voters anamendment to Article VI, section 1, of the State Constitution. Strike out all of this section, and those that follow, down to and including section 24, and in lieu of all submit the following: “The judicial power cf the State shall be vested in the managing editors of the daily papers in San Francisco, and such reporters and subordinates as they may appoint. ‘There shall be no appeal from such judgment as they may find, and no evidence shall be required for such findings, except such as may evolve from their diseased brains and malevolent hearts; provided, that where there is a diversity of opinion among said managing edithat which not enriches dict is carried out. In no case shall testimony be taken. All parts of this Constitution in confiict with this section are hereby repealed. Said editors shall serve without compensation.” It might ‘as well’'be submitted and carried. They. are doing this every day, or attempting to do it. give them full scope? One of the most eminent Judges, not only in this State but in the United States—Judge Coffey—has complained to me of this interference of the press in matters that are in process adjudication. Other Judges have also complained. Now, if Mr. Green’s suggestions to save the countiés and the State a great deal of money have any merit, why are not mine of still greater benefit? Mine would save dollars where his would save cents. As I draw this letter toa close I desire to say that the Bulletin.is a remarkable exemption from the remarks I have made, as far as the city papers are concerned.

With over thirty thousand members in the State and a glowing prospect for the future'welfare of the order, it is eminently befitting that ‘the Golden Jubilee of Odd Fellowship should be celerated in an elaborate. and impressive manner. ; Already a committee appointed by the Grand Lodge is making active preparations fora monster demonstration in San Francisco during the Grand Encampment in October. It is purposed «holding a pageant which shall eclipse anything of a similar nature ever held on the Coast. Judging from the manner in which it is being agitated, the celebration will not fall short of expectations. It is obvious, however, that our State is too broad to admit of the San Francisco celebration being participated in by more than a favored portidh of the members of.the order, and hence it is urged that in other places celebrations should be-held which, though of lesser magnitude, shall not be less in enthusjiasm. Some of the members of Oustomah Lodge of this City favor holding a grand jubilee at this place on the ninth of Septempber and inviting all the lodges of Nevada, Sierra, Placer and Yuba counties to participate. Every citizen, be he an Odd Fellow or not, would lend every. assistance in his power toward the success of the undertaking. The date is yet distant, but a long pull and a strong pull would be bration all that it should be. bier at tall Sulphur For Rheumatism and Grip. It is-claimed that on ranches where walnuts are prepared for the market the shells are bleached by the use of brimstone fumes, the men who have charge of that work are never touched by the grippe, influenza or other epidemics which attack their fellow laborers on the same estate. It is also asserted that. half a teaspoonful of sulphur placed in each shoe or stocking will prove a perfect protection against rheumatism, as well as against yellow fever, cholera and other epidemic diseases; also that those working in'the sulphur mines of Italy escape the malaria which prevails all about them.

At two o’clock tomorrow afternoon the funeral of the late Barzilla Taylor, who died yesterday afternoon ‘as the result of a short illness, will take place Why not\ from the schoolhouse at Rough and Ready.
