LAST year the Astors paid $3.50, ,057 SO
in taxes, which, at the rate of 81 so would

represent the true wealth of that family,

Government Timber.

There is no Justification to be urged
for the act of despoiling Government
land Of its timber. We know the pre-
vailing idea is that to rob the Govern
ment is not crime. Men do not hes
itate to steal from the Government,
who would not be caught swindling
an individual for ever so much money.
Church members, pious citizens, and
Sunday school teachers, like General
HOWARD, will steal from the Govern
ment while repeating the Ten Com
mandments. The Government is q
silly goose that everybody plucks, but
after all it is wrong to steal the TIM
Der from Government land. If the
act only robbed the Government we
should not object, but it is not the Gov
ernment that suffers. It is the par
ties who purchase the land that are
wronged. The Government makes no
reduction in the price of land after
every stick of timber has been cut
from it. One man may steal ten
thousand dollars worth of wood from
quarter section of land, yet the pur-
chaser must pay just the same for it
that he would did all the timber still
stand on the soil. 1t is the future set
tier whom the Government timber
stealer wrongs. On the Government
land to the north and east of San Fer
nando, we understand, there are about
seventy men employed in cutting
wood. a stop should be put to this,
and that Immediately. The parties
engaged in this business are liable to
heavy penalty, and we hope the law
will be rigidly enforced. Several ar
rests, for offtnses of this character,
have already been made, and we are
| informed one offender is now in Gus
toby, awaiting an investigation of his
case. Others will be arrested in few
days. Men who engage to cut wood,
by the day or cord, for other parties
on Government land, will do we'll to
remember that they, and not their
employers, will be held amenable to
the law they are violating. The plea
that they are cutting this timber from
railroad land has no weight. The
railroad has no land beyond the end of
the track, and if they do not COM
ply with the conditions ON which the
alternate sections were donated, the
| land reverts to the Government and
is open to presumption. Not an acre
of the land now being despoiled of its
timber really belongs to the railroad
company, and the probabilities are
that it never will belong to them. One
! thing is certain, the parties who are
telling the forests very we'll under
stand that neither the land nor its
products belong them. They know
they are violating the law; and if the
officers perform their duty, they will
be made to suffer the severest penalty
| for such violation.

A New Use for the Court House.

We have been trying to dispose of
the Court house, and our efforts in
that direction have eliminated several
ideas and suggestions from outside
sources. One, and by far the most
practical yet presented, is to convert
the Court house into a Government
building. There are now the follow
ing Federal officers located in this city:
Postmaster, Register and Receiver,
Gauger, Internal Revenue Collector,
and United States Court Commits
sioner. A United States District Court
will be located here at an early day.
These officers have offices wherever
they chance to secure them, and the
aggregate cost to the Government for
rent amounts to considerable sum
per month. Suppose the Government
should purchase the Court house,
which could be done at cost not ex-
ceeding fifty thousand dollars, the Fed
eral offices would all be located con-
venient to each other under one roof.
The first floor of the Court house
would make a splendid Postoffice.
Standing, as the building does, alone,
with street on each of its four sides,
renders it very convenient for wagons
bringing in and taking away the
mails. The building is we'll lighted all
around, and is, besides, located in the
very center of the city. The other
Federal officers would occupy the Sec
ond floor, which is already divided
into offices and Court-rooms. The
property is just what the Government
wants in this city, and we presume if
the attention of Congressman HoUGH-
TON was called to the matter, the
transfer could be made in short time.
The property will never be worth less
than at present, and the prospects are
that within the next five years it will
treble in value.

THE women are obtaining their
rights to an extent which ought to be
alarming to young men. A recent
case in New York was decided on the
basis that when man tells woman
that he considers her as his wife, or lin
language ever so vague, conveys that
impression to her, she is and shall be
regarded as his wife. In another case
the private statement was sustained
on the unsupported evidence of the
woman, though the man swore like
our army in Flanders that no such adj
mission had ever been made. She was
held to be his wife, although he had
subsequently married another woman
10y whom he had several children.
Young men, beware. If the woman is
pretty, though ever so INSCRIPTIONS,
her word will weigh heavily; yea,
even more heavily than yours, with a
jury. You are in danger of being mar
ried almost before you know it.

SACRAMENTO arrasted

SACRAMENTO arrested Professor
WILLIAM DENTON a few evenings
since, and detained him in jail until
the middle of the next day. The
cause Of the arrest was the refusal of
the Professor to pay lecturers license.
Professor DENTON asserts that he has
lectured all over the United States,
and never was asked to pay license
anywhere except in Stockton and Sac
ramento. at the first named place
the authorities did not enforce the col
lectien. The Sacramento officers no
doubt strained point to arrest DEN
TON. CANON KINGSLEY, AGAssIz,
and Others have lectured there with
out license. The treatment of Prof.
DENTON was an outrage of which the
respectable citizens of the Capital city
are properly ashamed.
