WANTED, A DEAD LETTER OFFICE.

When the new and preposterous rules
and regulations Of the Postal Department
were first issued, we suggested the estab-
lishment of Dead Letter Office in San
Francisco, as means Of avoiding the seri-
GUS delays necessitated by the transfer of
all irregularly mailed matter to Washing
ton. This idea was very generally APP.
proved, and we now suggest, as a further
means Of obtaining the desired action, that
the Legislature memorable Congress to
that effect. The need Of Dead Letter
Office on this coast is so great that the
facts which call for it need only to be
stated. Under the new postal rules
every imperfectly addressed or mad
equately stamped letter must be sent
to the Dead Letter Office at Wash
ington. This involves delay of at least
two months in its return to the sender,
and it is obvious that the facilities for
solving perplexing addresses must be far
less at Washington than here, so far as
Pacific Coast localities are concerned. An
office of this kind at San Francisco would
serve the whole coast, and it would be a
very great convenience to the public, and
especially to business men. If the Leg
islature will recommend it strongly to
Congress it is possible that the demand
will be complied with, particularly if our
delegation at Washington are requested
and instructed to urge it upon the De-
partment

THE MILEAGE QUESTION.

In the Assembly on Saturday motion
to reconsider the report OF the Mileage
Committee, fixing mileage at fifteen cents
per mile, came up, but the Speaker de-
e,ined to vote, on the ground that the
rules forbid members to vote upon any
matter concerning their personal interest,
and number of members following suit,
the upshot was indefinite possponement OF
the whole question. The arou,d taken by
the Speaker on this occasion is not sound.
Members of the Legislature may frequently
be not only called upon, but compelled, to
vote on questions affecting their own in
terests For instance, suppose that the
new Constitution had left it to the Legisla-
ture to fix its own pay, as Constitutions
frequently have done. In that case, &C.
cording to Mr.. Cowdery, the matter never
could have been settled, and conse-
quently the Legislature never could
have drawn pay. The action of
Congress In regard to its own pay is an.
other case directly in point Or suppose
that instead of fixing the mileage at fifteen
cents, the committee had fixed it at five
cents, which is just half what the Consti-
tution allows does the Speaker mean to
say that members could not in that case
have voted to accept the reduction? The
truth is that members may under variety
of circumstances be obliged to vote on
questions affecting their own interests, and
that if they were debarred from doing SO
the course Of necessary legislation would
often be seriously embarrassed. 1t is to
be noted that in the case of the mileage
this abnormal refinement of scrupulousness
was exercised with the effect of killing a
motion which looked to the reduction of
legislative expenses.

THE MAINE CASE.

The Supreme Court of Maine having
fully affirmed the legality of the Republi-
can Legislature, and as fully denied the
legality of the Fusion Legislature, the
former has proceeded to elect Daniel Davis
Governor, and he has been indicted to
Office without any opposition. General
Chamberlain having been officially in
formed of the election OF Davis, has there
upon recognized the Republican govern
ment, and has declared his special func-
tons at an end. The Fusionists appear to
have become convinced at last that it would
be impossible to defy the Supreme Court
when backed by so very firm and positive
military dictatorship, and in allowing
Governor Davis to assume the government
they have made practical surrender OF
everything, since of course. they would
not now be permitted to continue the
farce of dual government, but
would be, in case of necessity, dis
persed by force. The most curious thing
about this whole affair, however, is the
fact that the outcome is hailed by the
press as triumph of law and order :"
1t would be scarcely possible to describe
the situation more inaccurately. Law was
overthrown by Gareelon and his crew at
the beginning. Its overthrow was form
ally recognized when General Chamberlain
assumed the Dictatorship There was no
authority for his action. He appeared to
save the State from the disorders which
the already established anarchy threatened
In point of fact everything turned at this
juncture iron the political convictions of a
Maj General of Militia. The people had
voted, cut to no effect. The Supreme
Court had expounded the law, but

to deaf ears. The liberties of
an American State lad at last
come to depend, not upon Constitution,
or laws, or any recognized governmental
machinery, but upon the political creed OF
single militia officer. Had General
Chamberlain been a Democrat it IS very
certain that the present solution would not
have been reached. In that case he would
have recognized Smith instead OF Davis,
aud would have turned over the Govern
ment to the Fusion Administration. Where
then would the Republicans have been:
Nothing would have been left to them but
an appeal to the Federal Government, in
itself involving confession that usur-
patton had triumphed. 8ut General
Chamberlain happened to be a Re-
publican, and so held the balance firmly
and fairly until the opinions Of the Su-
preme Court seemed to warrant him in
turning over his authority to the Repub-
lican claimant. 1t would puzzle trained
casuist to show how this outcome can be
regarded as triumph for law and order. :"
Order, no doubt, has been maintained, bat
the same cannot be said for law. The
Maine case has shown how easily unscru-
pulous partisans can override Constitutions,
and effect the most audacicus usurpations,
and how impossible it is to defeat them by
strictly constitutional methods. When
one party steps outside of the Constitution
the other has to follow, or submit to out
rage, and when they are both outside the
issue must depend, as in this case, upon
some fortuitous circumstance, such as the
politics of Major General Chamberlain.

TIE "REcoRD-UN1oN" PRIZE STORIES.

As the shortest method of informing
candidates for the 5000 prize for stories
dealing with the early history of California,
that their manuscript has been received,
we now state that we have in our hands
thirteen tales, all of which have been en-
tered for this competition. The titles of
them are as follows, the names of the au-
thors being withheld for obvious reasons,
for the present: 1.-The Fall and Rise of
"Smiler's Find :" "Was it Luck?"
Misnomer's Adventures" "a Story
"of Mexican Flat Changes and
"Chances; :" Magenta, or the Outlaw of
Fourth Camps" Mamie, the Doctors
"Ward;" Frank Crapaux;" "The Story
''of John Bivins;" mission, Pueblo
"and Preside :" LA Gazela, a
Romance of the Gold Cleaners of 40 p
Captain Johns Narrative y The Ven
'tures and Adventures of Charlie Could y
These stories will forthwith be subjected
to a patient and thorough examination,
and in due time those among them which
in our judgment are the best, will be
awarded the prize, and be published in the
WEEKLY UNION. We will add that in one
or two cases writers do not appear to have
paid sufficient attention to the published
conditions of the contest, especially as re-
CARDS length and in one instance
Frank Crapaux y the manuscript
is SO manifestly inadequate in this
particular that we shall be compelled
to exclude it from the competition as a
mere act of justice to those authors who
have carefully observed the conditions.

TAXING THEIR TIME.

The State Prison Directors appear to
be proceeding very cautiously so far. They
have not yet made a choice of Warden, and
the indications are that they are endeavor-
ing to make sure Of their ground. The
suggestion that trained penologist be
sought for this important position has of
course not been received with favor by
local candidates and their friends, and
some nonsense has been printed about the
needlessness of going outside the State for
Warden. But we desire to point out
that this is not matter of opinion, but
one Of fact 1t is utterly useless to main
tain that there are as eligible men for the
position here, as can be obtained, say in
New York, unless it can be shown that
we have some trained penologist among
us. II a certain community needed the
services OF a physician, and no physician
resided in that community, it would not
be thought sensible for someone to object
to sending elsewhere for medical aid, on
the ground that there ought to be enough
skill o; the kind needed lying around loose.
But that is the kind of situation we are
confronted with. If we want prison re-
form we must employ skilled intelligence
to obtain it. If we have not that skilled
intelligence here, we must procure it else
where. But we cannot get the reform we
need by pretending that intelligence with
out skill is equivalent to intelligence with
skill. There is only one certain way of
reforming our penal system, and that is by
putting the State Prison into the hands OF
a specially educated administrator OF
criminals. If we have such man in the
State, by all means bring him forward.
If we have not such man we can only
invite failure by trying to supply his place
with an unframed, and therefore unfit,
person.

HOW TO READ.

From among many excellent suggestions
contained in a chapter entitled Literature
in the Home" we quote the following for
the benefit of young readers First, read
with fixed attention; let whatever your
mind applies itself to be seized with SO
firm grasp that thenceforth it is part of
itself. School yourself in this; all good
habits are the result of persistent disci-
pline. Let us say that you read for ten
minutes in Rawlinson's Manual on the
subject of Pheuicia. You close the book !;
You have no realizing sense OF those old
PhGnicians they are to you hardly a
name. Open your book again: apply
yourself for ten minutes to these same
pages, and, if you must renew that pro-
cess for ten consecutive days, be reso-
lutte enough to continue it; and when at
last those fathers of ancient mariners, with
their splendid line of seaboard cities, the
busy trade of Zidon, the splendid mer-
chant kings of Tyre, the glory of Car
thage, humming with its industries, are
yours-an inalienable mental property.
You will have learned how to conquer in
attention, you will have mastered your
own mind, you will have acquire |
one method OF ruling your spirit. Learn
all Won can about the authors whose books
you read this will give you vital inter
est in your books, and help them to be-
come your friends. Read with sympathy.
Throw yourself into the age and race of
which you read, make the past present,
and the distant near; become for the
time being part of what you are reading
Do not take up the Canterbury Tales ,
and read it with the pervading sense
Of a modern roching-chair, an an
thracite fire, a new dress, with knife
plaitings on the upper skirt, and the
near approach of modern dinner. II you
read OF Italy, let 60 your hold on busting,
modern America, with its probabilities.
and drift away to Tuscan, olive slopes and
purple vineyards, hills yeiled in blue
haze, silver threaded Arno sliding seward,
and the great, blue Mediterranean en-
braclug all. From the habit OF turning
over in your mind and revie wing your mem
tai treasures, you come upon some striking
thought in Macaulay,' and you recall how
Froude, or Burton, or Bancroft, OF Motley,
illustrated the same thought or referred to
the same period. Take the trouble TO com
pare, to criticise, to generalize f; feel when
you are reading anything that you are your
own steward, and that you will call your
self to account some day for these precious
things that you are putting in trust"

A CURIOUS ACoUsTIcAL ILLUsIoN.-M.
Plumaudon, OF the Puy de Dome 0bserva-
tory, has pointed out curious acoustical
illusion, which some OF those who use a
pair of telephones in receiving may have
observed. With a single telephone held,
say, to the right ear, the transmitted
voice appears to come from a distance TO
the right; while with telephone held to
the left ear, it seems to arise from the left
OF the listener. With a telephone to each
ear, if one ear be less sensitive than the
other, or if the telephone be held farthest
from that ear, the voice shifts to the side
of the other ear, and il both ears hear
alike and both instruments are equally
near their respective ears, the voice APP
parently proceeds from IL front OF the OBJ
server.
