JOSEPH BooTH fell between two ore
cars while the train on which he was
riding was in motion, and received ipju-
ries OF such nature as to cause his
death. The accident happened as fol.
lows; The up train on which Booth had
embarked at the Mound House on his
return from the prize fight, halted at the
Baltic switch for the purpose of getting
side track in order to allow a down
train to pass. The jerking motion &C.
casioned by backing up the train caused
Booth, who was sitting on the edge of an
ore car, to lose his balance and fall un.
der the cars, the wheels of which passed
over both legs, mangling them in
shocking manner. His right leg was

REFORM.

Speaking Of the effects of the reform
movement in California. the San Fran
cisco Call says.
There has never been a more complete
demonstration in this State, of the adj
vantage of a reform movement, than that
which has been tried the past Winter,
and the people all realize it.
There is no doubt in the world that the
Reform, or Independent members OF the
California Legislature have been of great
benefit to that State. They have pre-
vented the enactment of many iniquitous
measures, though the railroad being in
trenched in its stronghold Of hold-over
Senators. has managed to hinder any leg
islation being had that would put reas-
enable cheek upon the exactions of this
great overshaiowing corporation. This
conclusively shows that if the people de.
sire to restrain corruption they must take
the matter in hand themselves. II is no
use listening to the oft repeated tales
about this party or that man. They will
have TO come back to the old Jeffersonian
queries; Is be honest? Is he capable? II
satisfactory reply can not be made,
then have nothing to do with such can
didate. In California, if some bold an d
determined men had not set themselves
vigorously to work and threw aside all
consideration for mere party, that State
would have elected a railroad attorney as
Senator. The water front OF San
Francisco would have been stolen and
many other measures of like tendencies
would have become law. Thus far the
California Independents have done good
service.

The CRUSADERS. AS nearly as we may
judge from our kilograms and exchanges,
these demonstrations are not likely to
work any permanent good. Causing one
or two drinking houses to close either by
pursuation or consideration, will Just
be a premium on some others to open.
The ladies' are no doubt in earnest, and
sincerely DESTROYS Of bsneftting the COM
munity, but We greatly doubt if they are
attacking the enemy at the right point.
They should commence with their re.
lations their families and friends. That
is the true mode. The laws Of supply
and demand create the drinking places
because the drinkers cause q demand for
them. 1t is the drinker that brings the
drinking place into existence, and not
the place the drnker. Directly the de-
mand ceases there will be no more drink
ing saloons, because they will cease to be
profitable. Reforms Of this character to
be lasting are seldom those that make
converts in period of excitement, but
rather those That are the result of cool,
calm reflection. These sudden changes
made in moments of mental exultation,
are rarely permanent, and perhaps it is
good thing they are not, for they are
equally rarely beneficial.
