A California Jubilee

A California Jubilee.—The San Jose Herald proposes, on Dec. 20, 1899, a celebration in commemoration of the formal organization of the State government. December 20 will be the fiftieth anniversary of that event. California was never a colony or a Territory, as the other States; she came into the Union a full-fledged State, with constitution and government, eight months before Congress passed the enabling act. It was in San Jose that the first Legislature met, and it is certainly fitting that such an event should be held there, if at all.
