Vested Rights No. 1:
Two .•lasses of vested rights are re*
cognized in our form of government.
Rights with which a person is Invested
hy nature; and political rights; or,
such as a person may have acquired
from the political organization. Over
the first class our Government con
fesses it has no jurisdiction; and the
Constitution of California and most
of the States enumerate a greater or
less number of those inalienable per
sonal rights emanating from a higher
s >uree than political or legeslative au
thority.
The Constitution of California says,
that among these inalienable rights
are" those of enjoying and defending
life and liberty, acquiring, possessing,
ami protecting property. The Consti
tution of Maine goes further and de
clares that all power is inherent in the
people; all free governments arc
founded on their authority, and insti
tuted for their benefit; and they bave
therefore an interest and indefeasible
right to institute governments, and to
alter, reform, or totally change the
same, when their safety and happiness
require it. The Constitution of Illi
nois'announces these same principles,
und adds: that a frequent recurrence
to the fundamental principles of civil
government is necessary to preserve
the blessings of liberty.
. Respecting political oraequired vest
ed rights, there does not appear to be
any well defined or generally acknowl
edged principles or catalogue laid down
by authors on the judiciary of this
country. It seems that the provision
of the National Constitution prohibit
ing States from passing ex post facto
law, or law impairing the obligation
of contracts, has not been clearly or
definitely determined. It is therefore,
says a writer upon Statutory aud Con
stitutional law, of the highest moment
if possible, to obtain a clear idea as to
the nature and extend of the protect
ions which guard our rights of proper
ty from attack under color of law—to
deierrnine, in other words, what is a
vested right. In an opinion delivered
by the Supreme Court of New York,
which opinion was subsequently ap
provingly referred to by the Supreme
Court, that Court said: vested rights
are indefinite terms and ot* extensive
signification, not unfrcquently resort
ed to when no better argument exists,
incases neither within the reason or
spirit of the principle. But the Court
said also, that private corporations are
the private property of the corporators.
They are designed to regulate private
interests. Large investments are
made in pursuance of their authority,
and the tenure by which such corpo
rate property is held, is like tbat of an
individual to his farm or his personal
estate, and an invasion of such cor
"» is like a violation of
rights. In -Massachusetts the
ridef Justice rendered an opinion in
which the court said that rights legal
ly vested in any corporation cannot be
controlled or destroyed by any subse
quent statute unless a po\ver for that
purpose be reserved to the legislature
in the act of incorporation. And the
Supreme Court of the Tinted States,
has laid down the principle that a
grant by the legislature is a contract
which no subsequent legislature can
revoke or cancel. This court has also
said that every law, that takes away
or impairs rights vested agreeable to
existing laws, is retrospective and is
generally unjust and may be oppres
sive, and is a good general rule that a
law should have no retrospect. Hut
there are cases in which the law s may
justly ami for the benefit of the com
munity and also of individuals relate
to a time antecedent to their com
mencement.
While the general practice of tiie
courts has been to interpose their pow
er in the defense of vested rights
against attacks hy the law making
power, there has not been a (dear ac
cord as to what are vested rights.
Sedgwick says that no general rule
can he laid down winch will describe
with precision the extent to which
legislative interference with rights or
interests iv property under our system
is permitted, or prohibited. Taking
the conceded power of the legislature
over the procedure and remedy, their
right to pass repealing acts, aud in
many cases retrospective acts, - and 1
think the result of the investigation is,
that In no branch of our subject i stat
utory nnd constitutional law) clear
lines of demarcation are more impera
tively required nor any more difficult
to establish. Serious embarrassments
present themselves in regard to inter
ests created by or under legislation,
und many mott interesting cases have
bee.'i decided as; to the rules to be ap
plied in this resp," i to legal enact
ments The difficulty of this subject
fully equal, iis importance; on the
one hand any interference with right
acquired under existing laws ls s.no
litical evil and injury, while on the
other, to deny to the legislature power
to make such ( barges as the social or
|>oHHctt» condition requires, would rc
duc*UH to a state of Chinese stagna
tion and immobility, and would he ab
surdly Inconsistent with the condition
of our country and the character of our
people. Their inherent difficulties
have led lo frequent contradiction;
and there is perhaps no subject of equal
importance on which there are greater
incongruities than on the point, what
rights are vested, so as to be beyond
the reach of legislative action, and
what arc within its proper and regular
control. He also says that in tbe term
Contracts, are not included rights or
rather interests growing out of meas
ures of public policy. And the Supreme
Court has said that the contracts de
signed to be protected by the tenth sec
tion of the first article of the constitu
tion are contracts by which certain de
finite, fixed, private rights of property
are vested, asdistinguished from rights
grow ing out of measures, or engage
ments adopted or undertaken by the
body politic or State government, for
the benefit of all, and which from the
necessity of the ease and, according to
universal understanding arc to be va
ried ordlscontlued as the public good
shall require.
Having sought in this article to pre
sent the law respect ing political vested
rights a succeeding article will be an
Inquiry What) vested rights have been
acquired by private corporations in
this State and how far said Corpora
tions, are SUb}eet to legislative action
and control.
Orange Culture.
There is no way of furthering the
interests of a district so good as that of
obtaining copious, succinct and com
plete information about its products.
With this view the following questions
arc propounded, answers to which the
li KKAI.I) will gladly receive and pub
lish. It is as much the duty of the
private citizen to furnish the journal
ist with the best ami purest Informa
tion, as it is tlie duty of the journalist
to seek for and to spread all possible
knowledge to be derived from private
sources. These questions are the re
sult of deep thought, from one of the
(dearest minds in San Francisco. The
answers will be published, not only
here, hut in pumphlet form. Thou
sands of eastern people will read them,
and the entire southern coast will be
benefited. Similar questions, of vital
interest to California, and to this dis
trict especially, will be published from
time to time, until the minutest infor
mation regarding our industries is dif
fused over the entire I'nited States.

Platform of People's Independent Party.
The following is a reprint of tln*
I >Utl t'oitu adopted hy tlu- lVople's 1 in It—
pendent Party. The* prlncflpie a posi
tion will be discussed in a future is
sue.
This convention, representing what
it believes to be the honest sentiment
of the people of this State, and en
couraged by the the splendid success
achieved in the recent State election,
wherin the people, almost without or
ganization, met and overthew the
combined power of the Incorporated
monopolist and tin' corrupt political
and financial rings, do herehy resolve
to organize into a party all good citi
zens who desire to join in the work of
reform and political regeneration
throughout the State, the hetter to
enable them to move forward upon
the enemy, to route.such corporations
from their stronghold as rulers and
practically as lawmakers, and, final
ly, to rescue the government from the
clutches of the corruptionlsts who have
so long held it in subjection j therefore
he it.
Jietiolrcd, That the opponents of in
corporated greed and organized cor
ruption do form themselves into a po
litical body to be known as Tin: Peo
ple's Indhpendent Pabtv.
jx'ennfred, That one of the most seri
ous obstacle in the way of political
and government reform lies iv the
doe trine of so-called "party t'eultv,"
that tyrannical rule which degrades
the citizen and sinks him in tlie ser
vile partisan, rendering him tiie help
less tool of selfish wire-pullers and cau
cus manipulators. In viweof this long
standing evil, the ' Peoples Independ
ent Party" now, iv its very inception,
once for all lays down Its fundamental
principles that parties are mere Instil
mentalities to he employed only in tlie
furtherance of good governmenlj that
they should la- followed no longer thai)
while they act in the interest of the
entire people of which fact each indi
vidual must judge for himself; and
that it is tlie duty of tlie citizen to
abandon instantly any party which
swerves from the palh of right or
passes into control of unscrupulous
leaders, and Anally it utterly spurns
andrepudiales the doctrine that any
citizen owes allegiance to any politi
cal organization, or that a pure mid
upright man in public life can or
ought to be under special obligations
to any source short of the people for
oflice or posit ion.
Ji'rxn/rt d, That one of the great evils
Which earnestly demand correction is
the tyranny <>t party discipline, which
as maintained through the system of
primaries and caucuses by professional
politicians aided byGovernment pa
tronage and moneyed newer, has be
come a despotic rule of the few over
the many, and thai we hold and affirm
that any citizen lias the right to take
part in good la it li iv the actions and
deliberations of any political organi
zation, caucus or convention, without
being bound thereby except so far as
bis own judgment and conscience may
approve ami that the obligations of
tbe citizen and patriot are paramount
to those of the partisan before and al
ter party nominations are made.
JiCKotrcrf, That we are determined
to use all lawful efforts to drive out
the corrupt political rings that control
the action ot tbe national (io vein men t,
wielding its power and dispensing its
patronage with the sole end of benefit
ing themselves and their hangers-on,
and of perpetuating their vicious rule;
and to that end we hereby and for all
time instruct ail representatives of the
people elected under the auspices of
the People's Independent Party to urge
anil emorce a strict examination into
tiie affairs and management of the
great railroad corporations of thecoun
try as well as of their auxiliaries, the
Credit Mobilicr and Contract and Fi
nance Companies, and their several
dealing witli the various depui tmeiits
of the Government, executive, legisla
tive and judicial, in order that their
past corrupt practices may be exi»osed,
tlie rights and property of the people
recovered, the guilty punUhad and
purity and economy in administration
and legislation be restored throughout
the land.
Remitted, That the abominable and
infamous practice of securing election
to otlice by the corrupt use of money
at the polls ami in bribing members of
legislative bodies, which has become
so prevalent in late years, is an evil
Which strikes at tlu'very foundation
Of tree government, and that no man
guilty of tlie atrocious crime of obtain
ing or attempting to obtain office by
such means can ever merit tlie confi
dence of the people.
Itettolved, That atlirming and as
serting tlie absolute and Itnal sover
eignty of the people, we claim at id will
ever assert the rights and authority of
the people's representatives to control
and regulate ail such corporations as
exercise any franchise or special privi
lege obtained by legislative enactment,
and especially the incorporated com
mon carriers of the country, and that
such right of control and regulation is
an undeniable prerogative of the State
and nation; and further, that we will
use all lawful means to bring said cor
porations within a just and reasonable
coi t rol, to reduce their rates of freight,
fare aud charges to an eijuableand unit
form standard, prohibiting all unjust
discriminations ami oppressive regula
lations leveled at localities or Individ'
uals; to overthrow their political pow
er, and tlnally to reduce them to the
legitimate purposes for which they
were created anti endowed, as the ser
vants were beneficial aids and not the
masters of the people, We further de
nounce tlie acceptance of free passes by
public officers, sjld we believe that it
siiould be prohibited by law.
Rfmlrrd, That we are pledged to a
thorough reform of the civil service of
the country, to the end that capacity,
honesty anil fitness, ami not political
zeal and partizanship, shall lie the only
iiitlisjHjnsihle qualilications for place.
Ami especially we utterly oppose the
pemloioUt custom now so common and
so productive of evil of tlie interfer
ence of Federal officials with slate ami
local politics. And we denounce the
law passed at the last session of Con
gress, known as tiie "back pay steal,"
as a shame and disgrace to American
legislation.
gssflfcetf. That we take ground abso
lutely against the system of land dis
tribution now in vogue, whereby the
public domain is granted away iv vast
tracts to railroad and other corpora
tions, or to private individuals, through
the mentis of script or warrants issued
under various pretences, or hy private
entry oh the part of non-resident spec
ulators; that the tm> policy of the na
tion is to retain its public lands for the
benefit of actual occupants ujioii the
sole condition of residence thereon, in
order to secure to each family a home.
gKmlrrjl. That we are opposed to
granting aid in subsidies of money,
lands, bonds, or interest on bonds, to
any railroad or other corporation, eith
er "by the Federal, State, county or
municipal governments, and to all
laws designed to procure any such sub
sidies under the specious plea oTsnb
miltingto a vote of the people the
question as to whether or not a partlc-
Iftr subsidy shall he granted.
Reaolveil, That we take ground
against the present tariff, believing
that it is the result of a dishonest and
corrupt system of bargaining iv Con
gress, whereby each interest seeking
protection conspires with all other in
terests to support them iv their claim,
to the great injury of the cause of good
government and to the loss of the peo
ple, who are taxed thereby.
KeHolyodf That in view of the cli
mate of California, wherein rain falls
only during a portion of the year, ren
dering irrigation an absolute necessity
for the perfect development of the ag
ricultural capabilities of our soil, we
hold it to be the duty of the legisla
ture lo retain control of all rivers, lakes
and other bodies of water to prevent
their appropriation aud monopoly by
speculators, and to form and perfect a
system whereby they can be turned on
the land at the expense of the district
benefitted thereby, and for the use of
the people residing on said lands.
RfKolrxf, That the surest safeguard
for the ]>ori>etuity of this Government
and the rights of the people must al
ways be found in the education of the
masses, therefore we will stand by the
common school system to maintain it
in its integrity, as well as to urge and
support all improvements in popular
education that the most advanced
spirit of the age may suggest or dis
cover.
.Reno/red, That we regard tbe pri
mary election system, as now conduct
ed, especially ill the larger cities, as
being practically a device which de
prives the honest citizen nf his political
Influence and clothes the demagogue
with power; it has driven statesmen
from the halls of legislation mul made
political economy subservient to per
sonal aggrandizement; it has subvert
ed the design of our Government by
depriving tlie people of their constitu
ent j tower to correct abuses, and ren
dered the ballot a snare to the unwary
and a mockery of the elective fran
chise.
Rrsofrcd, That all property, includ
ing solvent debts as well as railroads
and railroad property, shotqd be taxed
in proportion to its actual cash value,
but taxation of solvent debts should be
so regulated by law as to obviate all
objection on tiie scon- of double taxa
tion; and if this cannot be obtained
by legistion under the Constutfon as it
is, the fundamental law should be
amended so as to accomplish such re
sult.
Resolved, That the Legislatures ot
tbe States and nation should use all
constitutional methods to facilitate
commerce between tlu- interior por
tions nf the country and the sea; to
cheapen freights ami fares as well as to
Increase the means of conveyance, in
order that tbe produce of our fanners
and tbe products of our manufactures
may be transported to market at the
smallest possible cost.
Resoferd, That it is the duty of Con
gress ;i-< well as the State legislatures
to institute and enforce thest ietest in
quiry into the affairs and management
of the railroad companies, and other
Corporations exercising franchises of a
public nature, and to root out and put
down the pernicious practice of water
ing stock whereby the people are op
pressed by extortionate rates and
charges in order to pay dividends upon
capital which does not exist, and which
only stands upon the books of the com
pany hy fraud and false pretence.
Resolved, That we nre opposed to
the election of a President of the Uni
ted States for more than one term of
four years, and we will support no man
for Congress who IS not in favor of
amending the Constitution to accom
plish that object.
Resolved, That we arc In favor of all
reasonable measures of labor reform,
and of maintaining and enforcing tlie
eight-hour law in regard to manufac
turing and mechanical pursuits, and
upon all public works.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the
further influx of the .Mongolian race;
to the further subsidising of steamship
lines for the pgrjiose of enabling them
to bring in this degraded class ut mere
nominal rates; and lo this end we de
mand that the treaty with China,
known as the Ihirlingame Treaty, be
abrogated, or niodilied to one for com
mercial purposes only; and that the
whole moral and legal force of the State
should he bent to this purpose, as the
Chinese arc a standing menace to the
moral, physical and pecuniary welfare
of the people of this State.
Resolved, That the manly ami noble
stand taken hy Governor Newton
Booth [cheers and eiithusiasiuj in lie
half of the popular rights nnd against
the encroachments of unscrupulous
politicians and railroad corporal ions on
the rights of thi' masses, have justly
endeared him to the people of the State
of California, that his otrlcial conduct
and conscientious performance of his
duly commend him to our grateful ap
provni.
When the reading of the resolutions
had been concluded, the members
arose simultaneously to their feet and
gave three hearty cheers for Governor
Booth, three cheers for the platform,
and cheer niter cheer with great en
thusiasm for the "new declaration of
independence."

The San Diego World, in its last
few issues, has shown a decided ten
dency towards the Independent move
ment. Having bolted McNenly for
District Judge, .lames McCoy took it to
task, and he in time is quite severely
handled. The World plants itself
firmly on its right as an independent
journal to support any man by whose
election it supposes the good of the
country will be subserved. If this
opposition of the World to party
trammel is founded on principle, and
not on price, if it is unhought, it is
significant of a good era coming. Mr.
McNealy may be the littest person for
the position to which he aspires; he
ought to be, he is a Democrat, and id
complaint seems to be made against
him except his youth—hut, when a
party journal, especially one located
in a small country town, and conse
quently dependant ui>on party patron
age, dares to bolt the dictum of party
from principle, a hope is born that the
pristine purity and virtue will return
to politics. The Hkkai.d while it
will support Democracy and Democra
tic principles, will not hesitate to bolt
the nomination of any man, if a bet
ter name be presented.
