THE DEBRIS BILL.

We observe that some of the journals
published in the southern counties are al
ready intimating an intention to demand
the repeal of the so-called debris bill, at
the forthcoming session of the Legislature.
1t is to be hoped, for the interests of the
entire State, that our contemporaries will
proceed cautiously and conservatively in
this matter, and that they will at least
refrain from denunciations for which there
can be no warrant In the first place the
tax imposed by this law is very light one,
being no more than five cents en- the hun
dred dollars To speak of it therefore as
heavy burden" is to talk nonsense. It
is not heavy burden, and it cannot be
made to appear in that light. In the Sec
ond place the contention of the opponents
of the bill, that it is designed to benefit
one part of the State alone, is lntenable.
The line of argument employed by those
who take this position is in fact identi-
cal with that by which the exploded
doctrine of State Rights has always
been supported. The idea that the
State is not an entity, but mere
ly sort of confederation of independent
sections, underlies all such talk. The
truth is that the State is one and
indivisible, and that whatever is done to
benefit part of it is done for the good OF
the whole. Had the position of the oppo-
nents of the debris bill been taken as the
basis for the State Government, popular
education would have been impossible. In
that case the school fund would not have
been distributed according to the needs of
the counties, but according to their several
contributions to it. The result would
have been that the poor and distant coun-
ties would have been deprived of educa-
tional facilities, which would have been
monopolized by the wealthier centers of
population. As it is, however, the richer
sections are taxed for the benefit of the
poorer ones, and so every citizen is en-
abled to enjoy the advantages of the COM
mon school system. This is the principle
followed in the debris bill, and it is one
which the highest views of governmental
science approve. The idea that the
southern counties can derive no ben.
eft from the works which are being
constructed under the debris bill is narrow
and fallacious. II is to the interest of all
the State that hydraulic mining should
proceed, and that the cultivators of the
valley lands should be protected against its
consequences. The Sacramento valley can
not be guarded and reclaimed without af-
fecting the interests of the more distant
counties. Whatever tends to enhance the
prosperity of one part of the State benefits
all other parts. Ii the uninterrupted flow
of mining debris upon the valley lands
should result in the destruction of Sacra-
mento and Marysville, and the ruin of the
magnificent stretch of country adjacent,
the injury would assuredly react upon
Los Angeles and all the Southern counties,
and would check if not permanently repel
immigration and settlement throughout the
State.
The bill now in operation is not the

IRELAND.

The expected collision in Ireland has
thus far been deferred, but unless the
present indications are untrustworthy an
outbreak is liable to occur at any moment,
and if 1t does, Of course all thought of
remedial legislation will have to be aban-
doned until peace is restored. What the
Irish people expect to gain by instruction
it is impossible to conceive. They must be
aware that success in such policy is
utterly hopeless. Their leaders must know
that bloodshed can only produce greater
wretchedness for the insurgents than ever.
Every uprising Of the kind will be sup
pressed, as matter of course, and
when the tumult has subsidized the English
Government will find it more difficult than
before to enlist sympathy in support of
land reform. The Land League has
brought the country to the verge of civil
war, and beyond that point it cannot pro-
coed, except on the path to destruction.
The Irish leaders appear to take very sin
gular view of the situation. They con-
tinually threaten Instruction in the event
of this or that move ON the part of the
Government, as if they were incapable
of perceiving that rebellion must be
more disastrous for themselves and
their followers than for any one else.
It is not England that has to fear the
results of an Irish rebellion it is Ireland
herself. There can be no doubt about the
power Of the Government to put down any
rising that can possibly occur, and it is
impossible to see how any good result to
the Irish can come from such policy.
They are in fact trying to make it i'm
practicable for really friendly Govern
ment to give them the reforms they
demand, and this certainly is a very
astonishing position, or it would be
astonishing in any other country than
Ireland. There never was time when
the disposition to deal fairly by Irish
grievances was so conspicuous as now.
The press of England has for once shown
desire to discuss those grievances in
dispassionate manner, and has at last
reached the conclusion that they have
foundation in fact. With prudent and
cautious management the Land League
might have made important gains in the
next session of Parliament. But it now
looks as though all these advantages
were about to be flung away, and
the whole situation to be plunged
into the hopeless bog of anarchy and in
surrection. Such contamination would al
most certainly postpone land reform for
several years, and this positive evil would
have been purchased at an awful cost of
life and happiness. As things are drifting,
however, nothing is less probable than a
pacific solution, and if once the people be-
gin fighting it viii be impossible to do any
thing with the situation save in the old de-
plorable but unavoidable way.

TIE ELECTION RETURHs.

In two counties in this State, viz
San Diego and Humboldt, the official
canvass of the returns will not be made
until Monday, in consequence Of the great
distances to be traversed in collecting
them. The returns to come in, however,
cannot appreciably change the general re-
suit. Five Hancock Electors and one
Garfield Elector have certainly been chosen.
The one Hancock Elector who has been
defeated is David s. Terry. The one Car
field Elector who has been elected is Henry
Edgerton. These results may he regarded
as definitive.

their followers, absolutely true, 1t follows
necessarily that the earnest seekers after
Truth must reach them, and cannot reach
any other beliefs. To exhibit apprehension
lest the untrammeled pursuit of Truth should
lead the student away from the funda-
mental concepts of Christianity, is to cast
doubt upon the commences of that
creed. It is difficult to understand
how sincere Christians who are also lntelh-
gent, can object to a University because
it does not undertake to adopt such test
oaths as so long disgraced the English
Universities. The utter futility of all such
devices to influence the character OF the
student has been too fully demonstrated to
require further attention. The form OF
subscription to articles of faith has very
certainly made many hypocrites and many
skeptics but never an intelligent be-
lever. The true method is that now
followed at the State University, namely,
to leave the student free to form his own
religious belief The evidences are all
at his command. The facts, SO far as as
certained or ascertainable, are placed be-
fore him. He is called upon to exercise
his reason. and the result of his investiga-
ton, whatever it be, is the best result
which could have been attained, because
it is the product of honest and dispassion-
ate inquiry. No other system can super
cede this, and therefore so called Chris
tian College will only be on a level with
the ordinary UNCONVENTIONAL institutions
which are supported by such sectarians as
are afraid of the consequence of unpreju-
diced discussion and research.

r,nnortant Announcement.

As some of the dealers in the Home Sana'
tive Cordial felt uncertain whether they
could sell it as medicine, and free from q
liquor occupation tax, we beg to state that in
the trial of case recently decided in the
county court ofEllis county, at Waxahachie,
where Mr.. Benjamin White was presented
for selling, in violation of the local option
law, the defense established that the Home
Sanatiye Cordial was compound tincturt
of calisaya and iron. The jury pronounced
it a real medicine, and declared the defend
ant not guilty. 1t is thus a medicine in the
ewes of the law, and dealers can sell
it without paying occupation liquor tax.
Very respectfully,

WHY HANCOCK WILL TRIUMPH. - .-.--.
Despite the truth of these reflections, the
hearts of the great masses Of the people are
with the frank, honest, fearless soldier who
subordinated selfish lust for power and the
varieties of Little Phil" to exactions of
law, justice and wise patriotism. Garfield is
learned, statesman and patriot but his vir-
tues are not ELUSIVE of that restless, personal
magnetism that attrac s the honest multitude,
when Hancock rises up in splendid majesty
before it, d.Hancock, despite the forces Of
money and Office and of still hunting, will be
the next president of the United States.

bear in mind that the dear inmates of her
house are more precious than houses, and
that their systems need cleansing by purifying

from spring malaria and miasma, and she
should know that there is nothing that will
do it so perfectly and surely as Hop Bitters,

SPARKS FROM THE POLITICAL ANVIL

SO far as we have been able to arrive at the
sentiment of the Republican marty IL is by a
large majority in favor of General Grant We
have believed that General Grant finally would
not be a candidate before the National Conven-
tion; but If we are mistaken in this, and he
should be candidate before that body, he will
get the votes of Illinois, aud substantially the
votes of all the other States. If Grant is not
the candidate the honor of being such will fall
upon an entirely new man. We donot believe
that either Blaine, Conkling, Sherman or
Washbune can be nominated. We are not
expressing any individual preference, but a
conviction GdleSJurg Register.
am satihed that there is, among the peoplo
of Kansas, and indeed of the entire Ma ton, a
feeling of confidence in General Grant such
as is felt in no other man. On account of pol
icy, or interest or local pride, or honest con-
viUtion, there are doubtless those that prefer
other men. But after all, the great mass of
the people, and even those who would prefer
some ono else, settle down with feeling of
security and safety and confidence in General
Grant that they can feel in no one else For
he has been tried and mover found wanting

The Gdseite's first choice for President Is Gem
eral Grant; the "third-tern" ,nOnsense-aftcr a
man has been out Of office four years-does not
count anything with thinking people, 1t is
generally conceded that General Grant would
now discharge tho duties of tho office better
than ever There is deep umdcrcurrent in
his favor. If the people have confidence in his
ability aud integrity, aud want his services
again. there can be no reason why they should
not be allowed to elect him. Next to General
Grant the Gazette is in favor of Washburne, of
Illinois,-Abiiene (Kdn) Gazette.
Compared to tho Grant boom, all other
boOms are as the stars to a full moon. They
may be larger-Rs claimed by their originators
but it takes a telescope of much greater
power than is used in the politics of this coun.

portions. The Grant boom is still the bright
lumnary in the political sky.-BuliHgton

Captain Rodney Baxter writing to the Bos-
ton Advertiser on booms says "rhere is the
