Wei De Meyers Treatise on Ca
tarrh, explains the following important facts:
I. That Catarrhal Colds become a
poisonous infection, at first local, and
finally constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional, the infection
is beyond the reach of mere local
remedies.
5. That Impurities in the nostrils arc
necessarily swallowed into the stomach
and inhaled into the lungs, thus poison
ing the Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-
urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the
mucous membrane and causes Deafness,
Dyspepsia, Chronic DiarrhnaS Bronchitis,
Leucorrhoea. and Consumption.
s. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations,
and Insoluble Snuffs. cannot possibly
remove infectious Inflammation from the
gans named.
6. That an antidote for Catarrh must
possess an inoculative affinity for. and the
quality of being absorbed by, the purulent
mucous wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories,
DR.. Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure
has proved to be infallible. 1t not only re-
Heves, it cures Catarrh at any stage.

THE sMALL-CoIN QUESTION.

Mr.. FL. NJ. Moore writes to us, in behalf
of the San Francisco Workingmen, to the
effect that they have not taken any organ
lied action against the introduction of
small coin, and that they do not acknowl.
edge the right of Wellock, who made the
attack upon the cent, to speak for them.
Mr.. Moore says that the real Workingmen
recognize the want of small coins fully, and
that they are disposed to favor any project
looking to their introduction. We are glad
to be informed that Wellock did not truly
represent the San Francisco Workingmen
in his ridiculous attack upon small change.
but it seems to US that if they are so thor
oughly convinced of the need for small coin,
they would do well to agitate for its intro
duction. So far we have seen no disclaimer
of Wellocks position in any of the reports
of ward clubs or other Workingmen's meet
ings, and to this silence quite as much as
to his statements we attributed the acqui-
escence in his ideas which we commented
upon lately. The question is certainly of
sufficient consequence to warrant more
extended discussion by the Workingmen.
Their interests are most seriously affected
by the absence of small coin, and they are
pillaged most persistently and continuously
through this cause. There ought to be
among them some clear-sighted enough to
perceive how much the purchasing power
of their earnings is reduced by the lack of
small change, and if they brought to bear
upon the question one-half the energy they
have hitherto expended upon partisan pol
itics, we are of opinion that they could
compass the reform they demand We
suggest this idea to Mr.. Moore for use at
the sand lots or in the ward clubs. We
should rejoice to see some useful end
achieved by the Workingmen's organiza-
tinn

tacitly abandoned by civilized commune !,
ties, and it has been reserved for Senator
Johnson to resurrect it. 1t is, however,
obvious that his plan is lamentably cir
cumscribed, for if it is allowable to make
the discontinuance of telegraph offices
which have ceased to pay, crime, how
much more allowable must it be to decree
that telegraph offices shall under all
circumstances be operated grataitously
II it is criminal to abandon remote office
because it is no longer profitable, the
power which authorizes this enactment
must be capable of extending it; and if
the motive alleged be the public interest
in the one case, it is evident that the same
interest must more urgently require the
removal of all tolls whatever from the tele-
graph. In fact, this principle is suscepti.
BILE of indefinite expansion, and may be
made to cover every imaginable business
and occupation. Under it the Legislature
may ordain that nobody shall hereafter
pay for anything, and that everybody
shall be prohibited from disseminating
business on the ground of Improbable
ness. This doctrine we believe Senator
johnson derives from the decisions of the
United States Supreme Court in certain
Western cases. We hope that in applying
it to existing conditions he will only re-
frain from invidious discrimination.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL BILLS.

There was a,curious debate in the Sem
ate on Monday upon the bill prohibiting
corporations from employing Chinese, but
perhaps the oldest feature of it was Sen
ator Satterwhite's argument that statutes
prohibiting the employment of children
under eleven years of age had been de-
clared constitutional. As non sequitur
it would be hard to beat this. Most of the
Senators appeared satisfied that the pro-
posed bill was unconstitutional, but few
of them declared their belief that it would
be valid, and one or two expressed their
readiness to vote for it on the ground that,
if it was unconstitutional, it would be so
declared by the Courts, and that thus a
vexedquestion would be defnitively settled.
Senator johnson quoted from the Chicago
Elevator case to prove that similar doc
trines had been laid down by the United
States Supreme Court. Unfortunately there
are but few doctrines so radical and SUBJ
NcISlNe lHdt decisions OF Unau remarkable
tribunal in their favor cannot now be found,
but we do not for all that think that this
bill would hold water, or that any
American Court would declare it to be in
harmony with the supreme law of the
land. Some of our legislators appear to
think that If proposition is in the State
Constitution, that settles the question, and
that they are not called upon to make any
further examination into it. That theory
is doubtless calculated to save some time
and trouble, but it is certainly not calcu-
lated to clarity legislation The Senate
ought to set good example in regard to
these VIGOROUSLY unconstitutional bills,
and not to encourage demagogues and
waste of time by making believe to think
there may be room for serious controversy
on points which are clear as day.

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS. wehad
an item on the removal of snags on the up
per river by Captain limerick, of the Miller
x Eaton line of steamers. The principal
part OF the work was done between the
upper line of Colusa county and what is
known as Squaw Hill, in Tehama county.
This work has had the effect of reducing
the price of freight from that portion Of
Tehama county some three or four dollars
ton. With very little more work the
farmers around Red Bluff could have
like reduction. Some three weeks of time
has been spent by Captain limerick on this
work, and the outlay has not been less
than q, 600. As we have before remarked,
the Sacramento river belongs to the farm
ers OF this valley, and it pays each one a
dividend of at least two dollars a ton on
all he produces. 1t is not right that the
burden of keeping the river clear should
fall on single company, however enter
prising and liberal it may be in that direc-
ton. Were it not for the fact that the
General Government spends annually sew
eral millions of dollars on the improvement
of rivers, we should be willing that Colusa.
Butte and Tehama counties should assume
the burden of keeping the river open; but
as other localities, of nothing like the i'm
portance of the Sacramento valley, receive
attention, we think the people of the river
counties ought to demand solid appro.
priation. Colusa Sun.

DEsTY's CITIZENSHIP. The following is
from the New York Times of January Goth,
in regard to Robert Desty's naturalization
case
Desty declared that he was admitted to
citizenship In the Superior Court of this
county, and came to this city to procure
proofs of the truth of his declaration. He
found record of his application for admis-
sion to citizenship, but none of his admis.
sion. He therefore petitioned the Superior
Court to have the record of his naturaliza-
ton entered as of the date of November
%, lS49 He said, in his petition, that he
was born in Quebec, Canada, In February,
1927, and lived there until his father, John
D. Estmauville De Beau, died, In 1887,
when he and his mother removed to New
York. He served in the United States
army through the Mexican war, and in
November, l849, he took out his naturali-
cation papers, which he declared were de-
stroyed by fire in San Francisco in 1850.
He changed his name from Robert Dale
bout De Beau to Robert Desty because it
was easier to pronounce and had become
familiar to his friends. Judge Spier YES
terday denied the prayer of the petitioner,
on the ground that the records of the
Court showed only that Desty procured, in
lS49, certificate proving that he had de-
clared his intention to become citizen.
and that he did not, as he had right to
do-having lived in this country from the
time he was Is years old until he reached
his majority for immediate admis-
sion to citizenship.
