Editor Democrat my last communca-
lion attention was called to the limitation on
parish taxation imposed by tho act of 1877
ana reference WIS made to the impoSSibility
o. making such legislation retrospective. The
imltation upon the taxation of parishes does
not preclude an examination into the origin
anu legality OF their debts by Legislative com
mission, but ! am one of those who think it
safer ana wiser that such examination should
not be made under the provisions of legisIa-
tive commissions or committees Parishes,
are legally mere corporations, and. like every
<lnulelal person. subject to legal process
Inc courts, hence, have complete control over
parish debts, and are easily invoked to pass
upon any alleged ilegality NV observation
Is that they are safer on this subject than
commissions or committees The members
Of the latter are prone to be influenced by con
siderations of friendship of dalicacy of non
Xliarity, whilst the former by the verv ma
lure of their duties. are accustomed to school
themselves against such influences. Even the
Radical courts gave as the reports of the SUI
preme Court will show, abundant example of
he enforcement Of law as regards the
Illegal contraction of parish debts. 1t was
lnder the influences above alluded to
hat the Legislature of 1877 took no step
oward examining parish debts, because Il,

Editor Dcmocrdt-I is n pleasure to know
that at least one newspaper in this city can
show good sound common sense in the discus
sion Of the silver question. and your several
recent articles on the subject are certainly
very timely and suggestive.
The recent action of few of the members
Of the Chamber of Commerce in passing Sc
rles Of resolutions in condemnation of the re-
monetization of silver and of the proposition
to repeal the resumption act, was hasty, and
convictions of even a respectable minority Of
that body.
The action was taken at regular meeting,
without any previous notification of the sub
lect to be considered, and / agree with you
that many OF those who voted for tsse resolu-
uons did 50 upon mere superficial view Of

\ COMPLAINT. 1t Is complained by tourists
ard travellers about the Lake that the steam
hoatnen charges are neither regular nor fair
Sometimes they charge dollar, and at other
times two or three dollars for the trip around
The Lake. This il the way to destroy the
1ttractiveness of the Lake trip-these eXtor-
lions. To be sure the season is short and the
harvest precarnus: but unless those who are
Interested in maintaining the popularity Of
the trip thither take some steps, as by gem
Hral concert of action, to assure the pubic OF
uniformity, reliability and indebtedness of
charges, they will be likely to prove them
selves guilty Of a folly illustrated in the old
fable of the man who killed the goose which
laid the golden eggs. We make this statement
npon the complaint of some of our friends
ard acquaintances who have lately made the
Lake trip and been made acquainted with
these unpleasant facts.
FIsHISa EXTRAORDINARY IN HOPE VALLEY.
Last evening Dir. George H. Davis Of the
Mint, returned from Hope Valley. The
party. OF which he was one, embraced Mr..
DeNeuf, Mr. John Cradlebaugh Mr.. T. K.
Hofer, Mr. Charles BIoder and Mr.. Hank
Phillips-slx. They went fishing. They
caught, in two days, no less than 945 trout.
If this is an exaggeration, if it is large fish |
story, if it is romance, if it is a great, big, |
overgrown lie, we are not the guilty party. |
Our innocence is established in the statement |
that nary trout have we had-not he first |
elementary fish. So We are not interested in |
any misstatement and are totally free from
all temptation to tell lie We have neither |
been fattered nor hribed. Nine hundred and |
forty five trout (945), that S what these brave
fishermen of the Sierra say they caught in

fiuence to crush out form OF crime that

law. mean the plumbing. more particu-
lariy our uptown houses, which are
unsafe places for human habitation. To
be. sure, the Board OF Health con-
dennis one now, and then, but they
should be condemned by the score. There
are n great number Of these houses that have
not o "trap" from skylight to sewer;
through the whole length OF the pipes these
necessary parts have been lett out. Inc
drainage pipes in the cellars are left SO inse-
cure that they soon sink below their places
OF exit into the street-sewer. andthus every
ramitication, deprived OF its safety-yaNe[
the "trap''-becomes the avenue through
which the deadly sewage.gas is comhuni-
Gated into our sleeping-rOoms at nlsht'
to say nothing of what escapes t9rouSh
the patuous joints, creeping lnslaiousiy
through every crack and crevice OF
woodwork and masonry, until the
yyho,c~ structure is saturated with poison
whose presence is death. Many an ANXIOUS
narent has watched beside the bed OF the
expiring child and wondered at the dlspen-
safion Of Providence. never thinking that
his nextdoor neighbors, the builder, ana
the Number, were the assassiEs that were
decimating his household ranks. Yet can
assure you that the work OF these men ms
been more fatal in its results than the edict
of King Herod, because their reign is OF
Ionoer duration than that terrible edlct.
Now what can be done with THESE men
who erect structures for human hapltatlons
where, of necessity, disease enters as a CO.
evaj occupant with ourselves. and death
awaits with certainty his victims? We must
educate our people to examine and detect
this bad plumbing before they rent or pur-
chase houses for their families, or we must
seek to punish this great crime. OF murder.

SOME NEW GOSSIP FROM PARIS ABOUT
"THE MAN ON MISUNDERSTANDING
Courier's Paris Correspondence. ]-General
Grant is represented as very mad at the
summary dismissal OF his friend, General
Torbert, from the consulate-generalsbip
here. Those who enjoy the eN-Presidcnt's
intimacy say that he is putting all these
sings and arrows OF outrageous fortune in
a " black book" and that "when he comes
to his own again" he will get even with the
Hayes crowd. BY "comiug to his owl" it
is understood that Grant firmly believes that
he is sure of denomination and election.
His son, the piquant Jesse, confded TO a
French friend the other evening that pa
can be President whenever he wants to;
he gets bushel OF letters day from home
saying that the people can't get along with
out him in the office" The coDfding jesse
only put into words what that peculiar
group OF time.seryers about the ex-ring
President hints.
