Some ot the men who could not then dig up enough money to pay their taxes ae in this year of our Lord, 1888, among the prominent and rich citizens of the State. : Much complaint was being made Secause people could not travel about the couaty in any direction without payi.g exorbitant tolls for using badly spt roads. ‘Toll gates ure as thick t3 figs in carrion tiune,’’? was the pre: valent saying, and the tull-takers were designated as highway: robbers. Much betting was being done as tu whether Heenwu or King woud ge: Whipped in the approaching prize fight. The hope was being expressed thit the State Legislature would “have no itching for mere show,” but that practeal and necessary work would be done.

We all remember the battle o! two years ago, when Buckley voted his serfs in the San Francisco. delega: ion solidly with the miners in a bola but happily futile attempt to forci throuzh the Leyislature a bill to giv hydraulic mining a sort of standing before the law, This attempt will be repeated, nodoubt, again. The Valley must. be active and vigilant for iu homes. Buckley will vote his cattle according io his personal interests, and there is danger that he will be abe to control enough votes from the Southern delegations to run the Legislature as he sees fit.
