THE Republicans have carried New Hamp-
shire by about 1000 majority. The State
has not been Democratic for seventeen years.
Last year the Temperance and Labor Re-
form members of the Legislature joined the
Democrats, and elected Democratic Gov
ernor, no one having been elected by the
people; no candidate having received ma
jorty of the votes cast. In 1868 the State
gave Grant 7 ,147 majority, thus showing a
Democratic gain in four years of 5000. The
same ratio of gain will carry the State against
Grant in November.

Our new sweet-scented road law prevents
any work being done on the roads until after
the May term of the Supervisors. All men
of sense know that work done on roads after
that time, the moisture to make the soil pack
being gone for the season, is a real damage
the dry soil grinding to dust and becoming a
nuisance. If our Supervisors exercise good
judgment they will order no work done until
next Spring, and then have it done when it
will do the roads some good. The money
collected will neither rust or rot until that
time

TAXING MoRTaAGEs.-There has been
much ignorant nonsense expended on this
question. A bill has passed the Senate
that places the tax question just where the
Constitution and justice placed it. This bill
makes the lender pay the taxes on his mort
gage, and the mortgaged property pay taxes
on its value, over and above the mortgage
lein. In word, the bill makes every man
nav taxes on what he owns and has PAID
for. and no more. This is what we have
always contended for, and we hope the bill
will pass the House.

EDUcA- -TIoN.-A friend sends us the fol-
lowing. The lines arc too short to be set in
verse, and the poetry is so prominent-tion
that it will stick out in any shape. So
here goes;
"1hc pcrpetuation, power and elevation
of this great nation depends on the educa-
iion of the rising generation. BY every
consideration the older population are under
obligation to enforce, by legislation, the rails
ing of taxation enough for the consumma-
ton of liberal education to all the younger
population. Then let not relaxation, or dis
organization, or aihliation with any combina-
ton, or organization, stop the dissemination
of useful information, which is substantial
education. If its presentation to the younger
generation sweeps away dissipation and de-
graduation, its realization will be high cxulta-
tion. n. K. q.

MILK AND WATER.

If Newton Booth is not lied on, he is a
dough-faced, milk and water Governor.
Two years ago the people Of Sonoma county
were authorized to enter into contract with
a railroad company (now the G. L. r. r.
company to pay $1,000 a mile for the build
ing of certain railroad, within a specified
time; the contract, in all its parts, to be
binding when majority of the legal voters
voted for it. The voters ratified the con-
tract, and it went into full force. The county
made its payments promptly as the road
progressed, but the company violated its
part of the contract, and forfeited all its
rights under the bill, by not completing the
road in the time specified. Thus the agree
ment became null and void, and the county
released from all liability. The company
applied to the Legislature to renew the con-
tract and give it further time. without allow
ing the people Of Sonoma, the real party to
the agreement, any voice in the new con-
tract. The bill passed, and Governor Booth
vetoed it. The question whether the bill
should pass notwithstanding the Governors
objections, it requiring a two-thirds vote,
came up in the Assembly on Tuesday last,
and was discussed at great length, and
finally carried over the veto by vote of
ayes 80, nays 25. Lee and Long. of this
county, voting to sustain the Governor, and
Welty with the subsidyists. In the course
of the debate it came out that the Governor
had expressed indifference about being sus-
tanned, which led many members to believe
he rather wanted the bill to pass over his
veto, and that in heart and pocket he is with
the plunderers. Can this be true Does Gov.
Booth spread himself on paper, against mea-
sure and thengo around and whisper, 81 want
the bill to pass, but you know l am pledged
and had to veto it," Booth, when Senator,
aided in voting subsidy bills amounting to
$40, 600, 900, and even introduced and had
passed bill giving $500, ,000 of his constit-
uents' property in Sacramento city to this
same company; and has he now gone back to
his first love? Time will tell. The Gov
ernor should lose 10 time in proving the falls
ity of this damaging charge, or in acknowl-
edging its truth, SO that the people may
know just where he stands.

MAcLAYs SwNDLE.-The bill introduced by
Maclay for n donation of $3.50, 600 by Placer
county to the Tahoe Water Company at which
the Placer county people are growing. has no
reference to the Won Schmidt scheme. The Pla-
Ger county arrangement is the '"Tahoe Water
Company" Won Schmidts is the Lake Tahoe
and San Francisco Water Works. ."-Daiy Post.
Pray who forms this "1ahoe Water Com
pany?" Its existence is not known in this
county, to our knowledge. The very fact
of Senator Maclay having introduced the bill
clouds it with suspicion, and should render
it odious to our people. Pure water flows
not from bitter fountains. OF course our
delegation will smother the vile thing

CARL ScHURz.- Eighteen years ago Carl
Schurz stood on the floor of the United

proved true. His great effort on the French
arms imbroglio, last week, elected more pro-
found attention than any speech that has
been made in the United States Senate for
