mine to the conclusion that they would\u25a0 net waste time in taking the ballot-reform

bills from their place on file, wasted no time.this afternoon in taking the billto enaole a

valued at. £500,000, and there Is a woman'who wants to. administer it, and there is awell-known lawyer who wants her to ad-minister- it. lie has been a rather promi-

nent figure Inthe lobbies since the introduc-tion of tin- bill, which was railroadedthrough the Senate yesterday. The motionto take the bill out of its place was passed

by a vote of CO to 8, and itwas taken up forthe final reading. Robertson vigorously op.-posed the bill as a measure calculated towork untold evil, but his eloauenco was

.'wasted. The bill was passed by a vote of5S to 14, and rushed back to the Senate.

They were allmill each of them lv favor of ballot reform, theysaid, bin they were opposed, oh, so bitterly op-posed to taking up bills out ol older.

AN UNI'LKASANT COMPARISON.Gould reminded the "leaders" that they were

playing the part ofSatan rebuking sin, for theyhad advanced many bills on the hie lv Hie Inter-est of prlval

-Individuals anil corporations, and

It was not until ameasuie favored by the peoplesou lit advancement that they opposed such apractice, He Old not believe mat Dibble favoredballot reform, fur Dibble had introduced r. billthai Ifpassed would make the system of vutlagnurse man Itis at present.

A motion lo take up the ballot bills from theirplace on it.c Die and make them a special orderwas made by Gould and opposed by many in m-bers, among whom we:o several Republicanswho favored the lull. They declared that theywould not assist the Democrats in obstructinglegislation.

POWERS OF THE MAJORITY".Mr.Shanah.in alluded to the three-fourths mi-

iorltyon ibe Hep iblicaa side and stated thai IIthey (thelievubllcans) desired to lake any billup but of oniei they had full power, as only atwo-ihSrds vote Is requlied to eflect mat purpose.lie slated that unless special aeiion is taken thebin relating to ballot reform willnut be ie.ichedduring the tew remaining days of the session.Ihat tailing to pass a measure Inresponse to thedemand ot the people, m \u25a0• Republican party,with its heavy majority la the Legislature, wouldbe held responsible, lv leply to Mr. Bruoer,wno had -.-mi lhitan hour hail been consumedon Hi \u25a0 question, he said that ifeven the remain-ing days of the session, outside ot Hie considera-tion of ilie Appropiiatlou Bill,should be devoted10 the consideration oi ballot reform measuresthe people would be well satisfied, Then, withgentle sat casm, lie spoke of the important de-Dclrncy bills, ranging In their appropriationsfroma few bundled to a few thousand dollars,thai had been placed on the special tile by themajority, to me exclusion of such UupoiUni mat-ters as u.illot reform.

The Senate this morning passed Brunei's As-sembly billproviding that Sacramento may sub-mit lo its eleciois tilt-question of paying Indebt-edness inclined lv 1889 .illi1800.

POLICE COURT ATTORNEYS.A third attempt was nude in the Senate this

morning to pass me bill thai has been veryappropriately nicknamed ihe "Anti-ShysterAct,"and this time It was successful. Tlie billprovides lh.it: Every applicant for adiiiis'lonas an attorney nn.l counselor niu>t produce sat-isfactory testimonials of pood moral characterand undergo a strict examination as to his quail-u'catlous, In open court, by the Justices of theSupreme Court, or by the Justices siuitii andholding one of the departments thereof, or.whenever so ordered by the couit, In oprupublic session before, the Commissioners thereof,or a committee of Juiiees of tbe Superior Courtto be appointed by the Chief Justice, and to actfor the time being as examiner* for the SupremeCourt and report thereto; provided, that theseveral Superior Com ts of ibis stale may admitftpptlcauls to practice as attorneys and coun-selors In then respective courts, but not else-wheie, upon strict examination in open cou-tand not otherwise, and upon satisfactory testi-monials of good moral character.

THE BOYCOTT BILL.Campbell's Boycott Bill was dl>cu?seil by the

Senate Judiciary Committee 10-ulgbu Campbell,the author of the bill, made a bold declaration ofhi« principle*. He poluted to New Voik as anexample to otters, li parsed just such abill while Its Legisiattue was Kepublic vi and itsGovernor was a Democrat, and so well pleasedweie Hi' woiklnumeii withme bill thai uit-y re-elected him. lie boycott, he said, was un-American and unjust. It is Injurious to theworklugmen. he held, because it alienates fromthem me i»yiiipaihy of me public. He deui:*Umat he introduced tne billat the tequest of anycorporation. He Inlioiiiiced ihs bill without be-ing Influenced by any one.

Eugene Hough of me Federated Trades d-;---clared that the billwas aimed at trade* unions.11 was framed for Hie purpose ot taking frumineni the lightto patronize whom they would,thereby taking from them Iheir only protectionfrom unfair employers.

ANANCIENT CUSTOM.C N. Harrison of Sucrami-nto protested earn-

estly against the euacl.neui oi this measuie.Thi«, like all poisonous tiuecis, he said, has asnug inits tall. The boycott has existed sincethe human race came Into the world, either tvthe form of spiritual, social, inoial, religious orcoinnieicial boycotts. a moral boycott Is beingcarried on against vice by the Good Templars,who are carrying on a vigorous warfare againstsaloons, ltsilgious creeds boycott eacli other.Tbe allopaths boycott the homeopaths. Everycommercial association boycot * the debtor, re-fusing him neo-saary employment or credit. Cor-poratlous boycott their laborers by blacklistingthem. A buycolt is vl?oiou3 and far-ieachlug.The sponsors of this bill aie the Iron mauulac-tureis ol Sao Francisco and the owners of theSacramento Bieweiy. They want 11 passed be-cause they are at war with their workmen. heboycott is oiganlzi'd labor* only weapon—with-out it the unions would fallapait and be at themercy of grasping corpoiHiioui>, who, no longerfearing the boycott, would reduce the workman'swages, dlsiunl bis union aud Increase bis hoursof toll, reducing him to the couditlou he was Inbefoie unionism came to his rescue.

EMPLOYERS ALSO AFFECTED. ..S. S. Holt, a Sacramento lawyer, was very

much In favor of Hie bill. He asked whetherany one who Heard him thought whether it wasright lva land of law for twenty nieu to conspiretogether to injure another and prevent him fromfollowing his lawful calling or business. Hasnot the citizen the right to be protected In hiscallingand person? The law of human ualuieand society Is that one man Is as good as an-other. This law Is not aimed byone man againstanoiuer, but agaiust two men working togetherlo Injure another mm. and Its opponents holdthai they »hnulJ have the right to do this.Where then Is this man's protection? The billapplies not only to employes, but to employerswho blacklist their men. The employers aremade by It as guilty of conspiring as are (helaborers who league themselves together to In-juiean employer. The bill does uot refer to or-ganized labor, but to anypeisons, laborers oremployers, who conspire lo do wrong. If youfail to iass the law you establish the principlethat one c.a-» of citizens may make war uponano ther.

CORPORATION BLACKLISTS.Ostrom asked "IsIt not a fact that corpora-

tions agree among themselves that it a man Ison the blacklist of ouc he will not be employedby auuiher ?M

Hull admitted that such things were done andthat the persons who thus prevented a manfrom obtaining employment were guilty of cod-spliacy.

Ostrum'—

We have certain secret societies.Odd Fellows aud Masons, who send to eachother lists of names of blackballed candidates; isthalia conspiracy?

Chad man Sprggue notified Holl that lie wasnot obliged lo answer tbe question, and lie didnot.

W. W. stone asked whether the bill wouldapply to the proposed Board of Medical Exam-iners, wbo are going to boycott all doctors whoare not members ol their school or who dare toadveilise their ability locure certain diseases.

Sprague lepiied that tbe law would be appli-cable lo the medical trust.

A.C. llinkson, attorney for the Bee, spoke Infavor of the hill. He believed that ihe boycottIs Illegalunder the existing law.

C. Selkirk of ihe Typographical Uulon saidwhen he came lo Sacramento he was refusedemployment on the Bee because he was not aunion man. He wanted to know if auy lawcould be passed to punish the Bee for boycottinghim. Thoie was no conspiracy In the case of amember of the firm owning the bee boycottinghim. TheChaiimau did uot enlighten ;Mr.Sel-kirk on this point. ,.-i

CAMI-JSELL'S DEFENSE.Senator Campbell denied that the bill was

drafted at the Instance of any corporation, lieblm-eir Is the victim of a blacklist. He. wasblacklisted by the Union Iron Works becausebe dared tosay that the Mare Island Navy-yardwas a better place to work in than Hie UnionIron Works. He alone was to blame for the billand he would shoulder th- entire responsibilityfor It. When Ibe Molden' Union struck in SailFrancisco be contributed his mile to help them,but be would see no one Injured because hewould not employ a uulou man or a uou-uulouman.

Campbell was asked whether be was not In-duced to draft the billby livingM. Scoli; did henot meet Irving M. bcolt one day on Marketstreet just after he bad advised a store-keeper,who was being boycotted, to shoot the man whowas distributing boycott circulars near his door.

YES AND NO.Well, yes, lie remembered something about

that. He did say that be would feel justified Inblowing out the braius of any one who tried lolujuie his business, but he had uot spoken toIrving M.Scolt in four years. •-

Several photographicviews were taken and a few words of con-gratulation offered at the final completionof this mighty structure that has been un-der construction during the past nineteenyears. Almost 82,800.000 has been expendedfor labor and material in the work. Thereyet remains considerable to do before itcanhe said to be finished, as all of the seamshave at some future time to be "pointed,"which will probably require the time of sixmechanics for a year. It is, however, apiece of work of which those who have hadanything to do with its construction maywell be proud.
