hopeless kind.

LoPSIeoS AiIu.
The difficulties of this question are in
themselves by no means insuperabIe.
What has caused tito present so perplex-
ing an appearance is the general disinclina-
ton to study the facts seriously. To those
who have mastered the details the most
striking Characteristic of all the debates
had on the subject must have appeared
the common inability to view it from
comprehensively intelligent standpoint.
The duty of members is not obscure They
are under obligations to find middle
course between the two extremes. There
are those who are in favor of stopping hy-
draulic mining at once and forever. There
are others who are for letting the debris
flow without any check whatever The
Legislature must steer between these
equally impracticable and unstatesman-
like courses, and must protect both inter
ests on the most equitable basis that can be
found. If there were no question but that
of stopping the debris the whole matter
might be relegated to the Courts, and it is
quite probable that in that case injunc-
tons would ultimately be obtained to put a
stop to hydraulic mining. But in such an
event the result would injure the State,
ind therefore the State is bound to find a
remedy which viii dispense with such ex-
fDh,c 4hO :
State policy in the matter, and due APP
prehension of the nature of the States
interest in the subject ought to suggest
the logical necessity of adopting such d
compromise as the Young substitute en-
bodies. So little have members examined
the matter, however, that the other day it
was gravelY proposed to pass statute CIV
ing the farmers the right to sue the miners.
1t was not realized that the farmers have
that right already, and that they have
already acted upon it, but it seemed to be
thought that the issue could be got rid OF
/ by recurrence to the very method whose
practical failure has done somuch to induce
farmers to support other remedies during
the present session. If the question was
left to the Courts they might in time settle
it, but they would do SO without any re-
gard to the interests of the community,
and that is the principal reason why a
legislative settlement is preferred. If,
however, at this stage of the discussion
members do not recognize the extent and
gravity of the States interest in the issue,
we fear that it would be useless to attempt
any further calculation of the subject

TIE PROPOSAL TO STOP HYDRAULIC
MINING.

The Assembly yesterday by tie vote
rejected Mir. Felton's joint resolution call
ing upon Congress to adopt such measures
as would result in the complete stoppage
Of hydraulic mining, but the vote in favor
of the proposition was so large as to make
it apparent that such course is not re-
garded as undeserving of consideration.
The manifestation of this sentiment, how
ever, only serves to confirm the belief that
by no means sufficient thought has been
given to the momentous issues which are
bound up with the debris question, aud
that many members are more disposed to
solve the Gordian knot by cutting it than
by patiently working out an adjustment
which would secure the greatest general
good with the least sacrifice of important
interests. The proposition to stop hy-
draulic mining is naturally one OF the
first ideas suggested by the most superb
cal examination of the subject. It is one
which appears with the largest iustifca-
ton in the mouths of the actual sufferers
from the flow Of debris. It is the remedy
which would have to be applied if the
State should refuse to interest itself in the
case between miners and farmers, unless
the former could undertake to keep the
debris out Of the streams and the valleys.
But the interest of the State must of
necessity be opposed to any such settle
ment of the question, for miners and farm
ers are alike members of one common
wealth, and each industry contributes to
the prosperity and well-being Of all. The
farmers may, therefore, be warranted in
demanding the application of the most
prompt and direct remedies, but the repre-
sentatives OF the State can have no justi-
fication for taking the same grounds. 1t
is their function and duty to conserve the
rights of ali to protect the miners as well
as the farmers to devise methods by which
the lands Of the latter may be protected
without necessitating the ruin of the former.
1Hc SAt4HCtloH VI Inc ny uTduIiC LllHiilS
interest would involve the elimination
of very important source of wealth
to the State 1t would even iniure the
farmers directly, for numbers of them find
their readiest and best market in the
mines at present. In fact the stoppage
of hydraulic mining would be the LATEST
and most inefficient way of treating the
whole question, for it would involve
confession of incapacity to devise any
compromise whereby the scores of millions
of property concerned could be saved to
the State. TO ask Congress to extinguish
the only practicable mode of working a
large percentage of the gold bearing gravel
and cement lodges of the State, would be
a fatuous policy, and to do this in full
view of the fact that perfectly feasible
remedy for the debris has been proposed,
would stamp the advocates of such a
course as legislative failures of the most
hopeless kind.
