Yes, 1t is generally known by those posted,

THE United States Circuit Court
for California in the case of a colored
man against the manager of San
Francisco theatre holds that the Civil
Rights bill so far as it applies to thea
tres is unconstitutional and cannot be
enforced. The theory is that theatres
are private property and the own
ers have right to exclude or admit
whom they please. On this line of
argument the law is alike unconstitu-
tional when applied to hotels, street
cars and railroads built without the
assistance of municipal, county, State
or National subsidy. They are all
private property and the same
decision which gives theatre owners
the right to refuse admission to col
ored people gives the right to exercise
the same power to the owners or man.
ayers of all private property. The
Civil Rights bill, according to Judge
sAwYER, does not give the colored
people extravagant privileges after
all.

able to make up their electoral ticket
of men possessing the ability, elo-
quence and working capacity of Mr..
GANAHL they will present battle
front that the Republicans will be
forced to acknowledge formidable if
not irresistible. In commencing our
townsman we are endeavoring to over
look fact that we are proud of, which
is that he is our townsman, and speak
only of his merits and qualifications.
Mr.. GANAHL's reputation as an able
and eloquent lawyer is State broad.
AS Democrat there are none to ques-
tion the steadfastness and purity of
his principles, and the eloquence and
effectiveness of his political speeches
are known and acknowledged from
Siskyou to San Diego. To these de-
sirable qualities in one who under
takes State campaign, he adds that
of being tireless worker. No man
possesses better staying powers" for
a long, strong and hard fight. For
determination to win, no matter how
great the odds, or how numerous the
obstacles, not only we but all who
know him, commend Mr.. GANAHL.

guarantee the State for the nominee

The duties of the Commissioners who
have been appointed by the Governor
to examine into the sale and disposal
of the State lands are thus defined In
the Act providing for their creation:
First-To ascertain all grants made
by the United States to this State.
Second-To examine all titles issued
by the State, together with the man
ner in which such titles have been is
sued. Third-To ascertain the name
of all parties to whom the State has
issued title for more than 320 acres,
together with the number of acres in
excess of this amount sold to any one
person, and to ascertain whether such
sales have been made for parties di-
rectly or through Attorneys. Fourth
TO ascertain the amount of Control
ler's wants outstanding against sever
al rect amation districts, together with

ton received therefor by the district

For Presidential Elector.

Had the Democratic State Conven-
ton at its late session decided to NOM
nate Presidential Electors, Hon.
FRANK GANAHL, Of this city, would
beyond question, have been by unan-
imous choice, selected as one OF the
electors at large, and we understand
the Convention at Its meeting in July
will place Mr.. GANAHL's name on the
ticket for the honrable position we
have named. The selection will be a
wise and judicious one. We have no
easy fight to make in this State.
Those of our contemporaries who are
predicting "walk over" for the DEM
ocratic party are deceiving them
selves and doing something in the
way of creating an over confidence
that may prove to be an element OF
weakness rather than Of strength.
The two parties are of almost equal
strength in California and weak
ticket feebly and unwisely supported

both parties fully comprehend the sit
nation and each will use the utmost
caution in the selection of their Pres
idential Elector candidates, correctly
realizing that upon these candidates

The Wonder OF To-Day.

The train which left New York City
at one o'clock last Thursday morning
reached San Francisco at nine o'clock
on Sunday morning-making the trip
in just eighty hours. The actual dis
tance run was 1899 miles, which di-
vided by eighty shows that the train
averaged fraction over Az miles per
hour from the time it left New York
until it stopped at Oakland wharf. In
the task of annihilating space this is
the greatest feat ever known. Loco
motives have travelled faster for
short distance, and balloons have car
ried men five hundred, or even one
thousand miles at considerably
higher rate of speed, but never before
has party of human beings Travelled
$500 miles in eighty consecutive
hours. Mr.. JULES VERNE in one of
his novels makes Mr.. PHINEAs FOGG
travel around the world in eighty
days not including the day he gained
by the same time phenomena that
made it fourteen minutes past noon in
| New YORK at the moment when on
the arrival of the lightning train the
San Francisco clocks were on the
strike of nine in the morning; but
Mr.. FoGG travelled In imagination,
and much slower than JARRETT &
PALMER, who travelled in person, in
side of palace car, and moved one
eighth of the distance around the
world in eighty hours, or one twenty.
fourth of the time consumed by Mr..
FoGG. Looking backward, this train
has accomplished something wonder
ful-something unparalleled. But it is
only a wonder of to-day. Ten or
twenty years hence greater speed over
a greater distance will be recorded.
| Compared with the cumbrous steam
machine that drew the first train over
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the
locomotive of to-day is perfect piece
of mechanism. 1t is however only
perfect by comparison, and if we may
measure what mechanical genius will
do by what it has done, we shall have
no difficulty in imagining the locomo-
tive of 1900, better, safer and faster
traveller than the locomotive 1876
But unless the emergency is great, it
will be some time before another train
travels 3,329 miles in eighty hours.

Mineral King Mines.

These mines are now becoming an
interesting topic of conversation. All
kinds of favorable reports are going
the rounds, and we have taken some
little pains and trouble to reach as
near facts as is possible for us to do.
We believe from the workings of in
terested parties (whose names are
withheld at present), that the mines,
or at leas portion of them, will be
thoroughly tested the coming season.
We would like to see public spirit
among our citizens sufficient to build
a good wagon road to the district. We
are told that 100000 can be raised by
private subscription among interested
parties no " residing in San Francisco.
This suggests to us that permanent
benefit to Visalia would be the result
should our citizens donate literally to
this mountain road fund. Our Super
visors would no doubt lend helping
hand also, if possible, in behalf of the
county. This is subject that directly
interests the county in general.-Visa-
