CREMATION.

The scientific world has opened ques-
ton of inquiry in reference to the dispos-
sal of the dead, and it is being made n
subject of discussion by the press gener-
ally. 1t is needless to say that the prop
ositon to burn, rather than bury the dead
finds advocates, among whom are some
of the most eminent of the medical facul-
ty. Cremation is argued in favor of up
on the ground that it will be less expen-
sive than burial, and that tits also pretera-
BILE in sanitary point of view. Another
reason urged applies with great force in
the :hickly settled communities which
will possess but little significance in the
rural districts. The cities Of the dead,
whose people increase in numbers from
day to day and from year to year, en-
croach upon the domain needed by
the living. 1t is possible, therefore, that
the practice of cremation may, to some
extent, ultimately be adopted by the
poorer classes of thickly settled commun-
tiles but we do not believe that it will
eyer become the universal custom of any
Christian nation.
There are sorrows, sad yet sweet, which
fall 10 the lot Of humanity, and among
them are those which cling around the
memory of the loved and lost. Even in
the depths of grief there is mournful
pleasure in kneeling by the grave of our
buried love, and living once more in the
past. The last resting place Of the loved
one becomes, if near at hand, a place to
which the heart burdened with the sor-
rows of life turns instinctiyely, and we
return from our pilgrimage with better
feelings and better thoughts than flow to
US upon the current of everyday life.-
With all people and all nations who pro-
fess belief in the truths of Divine Rev
eation, the narrow home of their loved
ones becomes a sacred spot. And such
will continue to be their feeling. Sci
ence may demonstrate that the burial OF
the dead serves no purpose which burning
would not serve equally as well, but sci
ence will find it no easy task to crush out
customs and traditions cherished and hal
lowed by centuries of Observance.

YAsQUEz. The Kern County Cou,1e,
of last week has The following: "Vas-
quez has been again heard from. On
Wednesday he appeared at the Mission
Of San Gabriel, six miles from Los An
geles, with three companions. As usual,
his business was to recruit his finances.
Instead Of engaging on this occasion in a
general system of robbery that always
creates unpleasant excitement, he devoted
his attention to an Italian gentleman who
was known to have comfortable bank
account. HIM he compelled to sign a
check for eight hundred dollars and send
his son with it into the city to draw and
return with the money. The boy per-
formed his errand but at the same time
gave information to the Sheriff, who,
with a strong posse, followed close be-
hind. Vasquez, however, was on the
alert and got away, going northward
among the mountains. He was pursued,
but not so closely but that he found time
to rob three gentlemen who were out
viewing the sites of projected orange
groves, dismissing them just as the Sher-
if came in sight. AT latest accounts,
which reached us yesterday, he was being
pursued very closely and the prospect OF
his capture seemed fair. In this con-
nection it is interesting to know that
Sheriff Morse, Of Alameda, with party
of well-armed men, is scouting among
the haunts Of Vasquez. Sunday evening
last they bivouaced at the TETON and
created no little alarm at first until their
character was known"

TIE NEW SCHOOL LAW.

We find in the Yreka Union, the edi-
tor of which was a member Of the State
Senate an extract from the new School
Law of this State, together with syn
opsis of other provisions. This Legisla-
ture has done one good deed and for
that it is entitled to credit--it has pro-
vided for the support of common schools
in such a manner that the education Of
our youth for the next tive years will fall
where it should, upon the property, in
stead of upon the population as has been
the law heretofore. The wealthy coun-
ties will pay into the State Treasury for
school purposes much larger amount
they will receive in return, while on the
other hand such counties as our own will
receive large relative sum in excess of
our payments. Provision is also made
by which the distribution of school mon
eys is so arranged that the small districts
with fifteen or more scholars will each
receive the sum of five hundred dollars,
money was apportioned among the dis
tricts in proportion to the number Of
school census children in each, the amount
received was often insufficient to justify
the attempt to maintain school. One
probable effect of the law will be the es-
tablishment of three new districts in this
county at Indian Creek, Minersville,
and Canon City, each of which places,
we believe, has more than the requisite
number of school census children to enti-
tie the district to the sum we have named.
According to the synopsis of the Union
che law requires State tax large enough
20 raise sum equal to seven dollars to
each census child within the State to be
raised. 1t also requires the Board of Su-
pervisors to levy county tax equal to
three dollars for each census child within
the county. The annual interest on the
permanent school fund of the State, which
it figures at between $40, 900 and $50, 600
in addition, apportioned as at present, and
the net revenue from the poll tax is also
paid into the school fund of the county.
1t will be seen these combined sources
aggregate large revenue to the support
of education. According to the late school
census the number of school census child
ren in the county were $50. This in
cludes only those between five and fifteen
years of age. The new law requires those
between five and seventeen years of age
to be enumerated. If we add fifteen per
cent. for the number added to the list of
census children by this change and for
those who will have attained the age of
five years since the last school census was
taken, we find the number of children for
whom we are entitled to receive public
money to be 6l0, and the amount receiv-
ed directly from property tax toward
their education exceeds six thousand dol
lars. To this must be added the amourt t
receivable from the semi-annual appor-
tionment of interest and the receipts from
poll taxes, which will probably swell the
amount to nearly ten thousand dollars.
The lateness OF the hour at which we
prepare this article prevents us from Civ
ing more extended comment on the
law. The changes made are of great
general interest, and are such, we think,
as will meet with universal appreciation.

CUBA.-It is time that this Cuban diff
fculty wero settled. For full five years
and to a very large extent, it has been a
barbaric civil war. The Cubans are not
able to drive the Spanish power from the
coast and fortified towns, nor is Spain
able to conquer the Cubans in the inter-
ior. OF course the European nations will
be slow to act in the premises, because
the scene of carnage is far from them,
and because the United States are next
door neighbor to Cuba, and they look to
her for primary action. Several times in
Congress have attempts been made to
recognize the Cubans as belIigerents, and
now another effort is to be made in that
direction. Senator Sargent has offered a
series of resolutions to accord to each OF
these belligerents "equal privileges in
all ports and places of the United States"
And it is suggested that he did SO in ac-
cordance with the desires of the Admin
istration. .-Sdcrdn1e nto Bee.
