The Post has discovered that there can
be no legal election held in San Francisco
this year, and for these reasons :. The Code
requires the names on ticket to be print
ed on a certain kind Of type, prescribes
the length of the tickets Of any other size
shall not be counted nor received. 1t will
require slip of paper three incher longer
than the prescribed length of the ticket to
hold the names of all the offices to be filled
in San Francisco, if they are printed on
legal type. As illegal tickets cannot be
used there can be no election, and of course
the present officials must hold over.

ITS MORAL.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean draws start
ling moral from the result of the late Ju.
dcial election in Illinois. OF the defeat
of Judge Lawrence in the Fifth District,
it says that the legal voters of that district
had "resolyed to put the seal of condemn
alton upon the theory that Judges are re-
sponsibie solely to complex system Of pre-
cedents, and not at all to the demands of
public policy, the needs of the people, who
create Courts no less than Legislatures and
Congresses. They rebeled not against
Judge Lawrence personally, but against
the idea that there is any power in the land
above their revision that there is any tri-
huDal whose acts, affecting all their inter-
ests, are too sacred to be passed in review
by the authority Of last resort. And SO
the citizens of the First District, and of
the various circuits wrought out bloodless
legal revolution, revolution, having for
its basis the principle that people intelli-
gent enough to make their own laws are
wise enough to know when they are justly
administered, and that people brave and
strong enough to establish free and equal
Government are vigilant enough to pre-
serve it from the eucroachments of corpor
ate wealth and power. The defeat of
Chief Justice Lawrence is no impugnmeut
of his personal integrity, no attack upon
his just fame as an upright Judge; nor is
it any evidence of overweening confidence
in Judge Craig. 1t is the Handwriting
on the walP' to-all those who regard the
Courts as too exalted to be warned, or to
suffer rebuke at the hands of the people"

YOUNG Taour.-we are informed that

YOUNG TaoUr.-We are informed that
great numbers of young trout are destroy
ed every season by entering the bitches
used for irregating purposes which are fed
from the streams the trout inhabit. We
are told this is particularly the case with
water from Shasta River, in the neigbor-
hood of Butteville. Our informant was
told by Mr.. Cavanugh that he had seen
great numbers OF young trout dead In held
at great distances from the river. They
had left the river for the mouth OF the
bitches; once in these, they are carried
along, following up the various branch
bitches, till finally, the water being turned
out of the bitches, they are left high and
dry to perish. 1t is probably the same
thing occurs in all parts of tie county
where the water of trout streams is taken
into bitches for purposes of irregation.-
The consequence is these streams are de-
spoiled of their trout. What is the rem
edy? Frank Smith, who is our informant
in this matter, suggests that the evil could
be remedied by placing across the bitches
at or near the pl1ce where they receive the
water of streams fine wire sleeves which
would allow the water to pass, but would
exclude the fish 1t strikes US the plan
is entirely practicable, and we trust it will
receive the attention of those interested in
the preservation of the trout in our streams.

The Virginia Enterprise, in comment
inc upon the Modoc burlesque, suggests
that if the leaders are not executed, hut are
on the contrary taken East on triumphal
visit to the Great Father that they may be
turned over to those phianthropists who
have evinced so much sympathy for the
murderous scoundrels. 1t suggests
Should they be taken East, Beecher,
Howard, Tilton, Collyer and other philsn
thropists should show their consistency by
adopting them INTO their families and Civ
ing them the benefits of Christian teaching
directly from the fountain head. Captain
Jack should be domciled with Collyer.-
There would be an eternal fitness in the
association. Old Sconchin should be in
vited to share the hospitality of Titon,s
comfortable dwelling. The age of this
dusky captain would be guaranteed against
fresh domestic troubles in the Tilton fam.
lily. To Beecher's tender care we would
cousign the Princess Mary, Captain Jack s
sister, satisfied that the irregularity Of con.
duct for which the Modoc women are no.
ted would in nowise diminish the reverend
gentleman's zeal in the civilization of his
charge. Scar faced Charley and Bogus
Charley would fifty fall to the lot of How.
ard. 10 taking them to his heart and home
he could save his scalp by making treaty
with them and turning his backyard into
a reservation. If these gentlemen are dis
posed to regard this suggestion with favor,
we will undertake to tighten the expense
of their inequalities as far as possible by
making occasional donations of dried grass
hopers and mule meat
