Water, water everywhere,
But not a droD to drink,


From the fact that he was growing SO
hungry and thirsty Gallagher judged
that he had been long time in the
mine. Up to this time he had been con-
fident that he would be able to find his
way ont of the old mine in the course
of few hours, but now hope seemed to
be leaving him. He conjured up pic
lures of his mother waiting for him to
come home at night, OF her anxiety at
his hardness, and then her uncon-
trollabIe grief at the news of his loss.
Then his mind dwelt on the horrors of
death by starvation or suffocation in
the mine, and the sickening thought
that he was followed by a horde of
ravenous rats that were ready to make
food of him even before he was dead
These thoughts almost drove him crazy,
and he aroused himself, determined to
make another effort to escape from the
mine. He followed one of the cross
corridors and wandered about in the
maze of chambers for hours. Once he
thought he heard his name called and
he shouted in reply, only to hear it re-
peated for many minutes by the demon
echoes.
While wandering about in this way, a
prey to the tortures of hunger and
thirst, and to both mental and physical
agony, he saw light fash for an instant
across the corridors in which he was
cropping. 1t was long way off, but he
knew 1t was a miners lamp and felt that
parties were searching through the
deserted chambers for him. Regardless
of the hard, jagged floor, the strong
walls, the ever-accompanying throng of
rats that kept in his rear, or dangerous
pits that might lie ahead of him, he ran
rapidly toward where he had seen the
light, shouting until he was hoarse.
"This way Here am ! Here l am !
This way, for Gods sake p
The echoes took up the cry and car
ried it through the noisome avenues,
lifted it up to the roof of the cerulean
vault and repeated it until it died away
in wall of agony but the bearer of
the light did not hear it in the course he
had taken, and the almost exhausted

Facts That Will Not Down.

A friend suggests that an article
which appeared in the HERALD few
mornings since entitled "Whither are
we Drifting" was somewhat partizan
in character, and preferred charges
against the Administration which can
not be sustained by the facts. We de-
mur TO the charge of partizanship. We
maintain an independent position, not
only on all political issues but also in
our treatment of political parties. We
do not consider it partizan to strike at
wrong and strike it strongly and deter
minedly. The views of others on the
subject may be different, and with
them we have no disposition to quar-
rel Though we gave as the text of
our article, an extract from the cores
pondence of the New York Herald, it
is well known to every newspaper
reader that the correspondent is not
the only authority for the statement
that repeated attempts were made to
burn the Navy Department buildings,
nor is he alone in giving publicity to
the report that the incepdiary attempts
were made by persons who sought to
destroy evidences of fraud to the extent
of many millions in the disposal of
vessels and other Government proper
ty. The authorship of this report can
not be fastened on the New York
Herald. 1t was common talk at
Washington. This much on the part
of authenticity. Now as to the innu-
endo that the Presidents Indifference
and supineness-hi total want of ef-
fort at bringing the "parties high in
power'' who sought to burn up Gov
ernment property to justice-to GER
tain extent sustains the theory that
he too would not regret the destruc-
ton of that "evidence." Why has he
taken no steps toward preventing the
threatened destruction of Government
property? Why have not the would
be incendiares been ferreted out and
captured? Has the President laid the
matter before Congress? Has he done
anything whatever in the prem
ises? 'Tis a grave charge, this
of asserting that parties high
in authority have made three
distinct attempts to burn up the navy
buildings and thereby obliterate the
evidence that one hundred and fifty
million dollars have been stolen from
the people. The President should do
something about it. There is wide
spread alarm growing up from the
knowledge that after all these long

From San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO March 27th.-The
st. Patrick,s celebration yesterday
passed off pleasantly and successfully.
The military and civic associations at
tended mass in the morning. The
procession then marched through the
principal streets to Union Hall, where
the literary and musical exercises took
place. These were followed in the
evening by number of parties and
social gatherings.
The Emmet Guard Of Virginia and
the Sumner Guard Of this city have
made arrangements for shooting
match to take place on Saturday next,
between teams of fifteen each from
each company, the distance to be 200
yards.
An outdoor revival meeting was
held yesterday on California street by
Rev. Hammond. The crowd blocked
the street for while, until the passage
of st. Patrick's procession stampeded
the congregation.
Last night fire was discovered in
the molding department of the Golden
State Iron Works, on First street, be-
tween Market and Mission. 1t gained
considerable headway before an alarm
was given, but the Fire Department
succeeded in confining the flames to
the buildings in which they broke out
The works are owned by Palmer
& Knox. The loss is $1,000; fully in

A Farce.

The result of the investigation of
San Francisco's school business is such
as might have been expected-to the
injury of those least to blame and in
the complete exhonoration of each
individual member of the Board of
Directors. 1t was in evidence that
teachers had purchased their positions;
that they were assured they could not
obtain employment except by pur-
chase; that the brokers who sold these
positions as teachers were the janitor
of one of the public schools and a
hotel waiter; that after the money or
approved notes were in their possess
ion, they in no instance failed to re-
deem their promise, and that they
really controlled the places they sold.
But the singular part of the whole
transaction is, that this broker-janitor
and his head assistant, the hotel
waiter, were doing business solely on
their own account, without the
knowledge or consent of a single
member of the Board. The Investi-
eating Committee found these facts
and reported them. They went even
further, and recommended the imme-
diate discharge of those teachers-five
women and two men-who had pur-
chased their positions. The sugges-
tions were acted upon and the unfor-
tunate teachers who had purchased
places that they were assured they
could only obtain by purchase, were
promptly and energetically thrown
out of employment. This sort of Gin
vestigation" and verdict may be sat-
sfactory to the Board; under the cir
cumstances it is probably the best
that could be had. But it had a bad
aspect-a suspicious, guilty look-and
we doubt if the sober, thinking public
will accept it as all right. 1t seems
so strange that these applicants for
positions as teachers could not find
favor in the eyes of the Board until
they employed the services of the
waiter-broker, and that they should
succeed so easily and so soon after
they did employ him. Yet the Inves-
tigating Committee found that the
Board knew nothing of the transac-
tion and the poor teachers were dis
charged.

years of struggling beneath the heavy
load of taxation, we cannot reduce to
the amount of one dollar the heavy
debt checked against us. The people
are becoming fearful that unless a
change is made, and that speedily, the
aspect of our governmental affairs will
grow rapidly worse. There is lack
of economical management at Wash
ington. The Administration might
reduce its expenses. There might be
q pruning out and cutting off. There
might be radical changes for the better
Ii pointing out these errors and sug-
gesting remedies is an evidence of
partizanship, then let the evidence go

pie and strike at wrong, no matter
when or where found.

School Law.

For general information we give a
few extracts from the California School
Law:
SECTION 1880. The Board of Trus-
tees of any district may, when in their
judgment II is deemed advisable, call
ap election and submit to the electors
OF the district the question whether a
tax shall Be raised to furnish addi-
tional sciiuoI facilities for the district
or to iuEintain any school in such dis
trict, or for building one or more
school-houses, or for any two or all of
these purposes.
SEC. 1888. The Trustees must ap-
point three judges to conduct the cleo
ton, and it must be heIdin all respects,
as nearly as practicable, in conformity
with the general election law.
Sec. 1884. At such election the
dallots must contain the words, "Tax
-Yes,n or "Tax-No,n and also the
name Of one person as Assessor and
one as Collector, and the same person
may be elected TO both offices.

ceiving the assessment roll from the
Assessor, must give five days notice
thereof and sit for at least three days

Another Wrong.

Anything TO get the best of the peo-
pile seems To be the motto of those who
lobby bills through Congress now-a-
days. The last trick played upon the
unsuspecting and always confding
public through their representatives
in Congress, is the passage of bill
doubling the postage on transient mail
matter. 1t does not effect publishers.
The postage on the HERALD, sent to q
regular subscriber, is the same now as
heretofore, but if we or any one else
send a copy of the DAILY HERALD to
friend, it must bear a two-cent
stamp or the Postmaster will
throw il into the waste-basket, in
place OF depositing it in the mailbag.
People will do well to bear in mind
that any transient newspaper, which
means newspaper not regularly
mailed from the publication office, if
as large RS the DAILY HERALD must
De prepalu 10 the amount OF TWO cents.
The WEEKLY HERALD and the HER
AID pamphlet, both of which under
the old law required but one cent
postage each, now require two cents.
This contemplate trick on the people
was lobbied through Congress by cer-
tain impecunious express companies
in the East, who found that their
heavy charges on packages were fore
ing everything admissible through
the mails. While pretending to ask
only for an increase of the rates on
packages and merchandise, they have
doubled the postage on transient
newspapers and magazines.
