TIE WATER AGITATION.

In our local columns appears to-day
drawn from fifteen bored wells in or near
the city, by pumps far below the capacity
of the wells. The statement Is full of
suggestion. There is a very determined
demand on the part of the people that the
city authorities shall, by experiment, test
the various statements recently made, and
demonstrate their untruth or establish
their soundness. The present dissatisfied
state OF the public mind with regard to
the water furnished from the river cannot
be ignored, and as the belief is growing
that it has this season affected the sanitary
conditions, it will certainly be advisable
for the Trustees to-day to appoint COM
mittee to examine into and report upon
the feasibility Of obtaining clear, pure
water II it is true-as alleged by CORE
spondent in another column, who at length
points out how and where water can be
habitat supply is at hand, and that
millions of gallons are daily being drawn
from wells in and near the city, then the
appointment of commission of citizens to
inquire into the exact facts and report in
one week is certainly an act OF wisdom.
Such a committee in few hours can visit
every well, measure its present capacity,
take statement of the facts, collect sam
pies of the water and report back next
Monday. Probably competent citizens can
be named on such committee who are
sufficiently public-spirited to act without
pecuniary recompense. Such an cxamina-
ton VIII give a basis upon which public
judgment may be formed and official action
founded with view to possible experiment,
which if made at all, can be had at no
better time than in the dry season, when
all the conditions are most favorable for
arriving at the truth in the premises.

The Gold Hill New Meas says This
spring man came from Canada TO the
Comstock. He did not know quartz from
granite, failed to get work here, and at last
joined small company of prospectors on
their way to Red canyon. He could get
no "pardner," for he knew nothing about
prospecting; hence he took to the hills
disconsolate and alone. In wandering one
day he came across some dirty looking
stuff, and in crossing strip of fifteen or
twenty feet in width picked up and
pocketed four or five pieces of this rock,
thought no more about it, quit and came
back. His relatives in Virginia, some ten
days ago, in going through his prospecting
duds, found the rock. An assay Of the
whole averaged 1902 S. in gold and 50 IL
silver. The man returned to the lode and
found and located the ledge, and is happy.
His friends are. happy, too, for they have
the extension. 1t is thought to be the
mother lode of that section, for which so
much search has been made. The man is
perhaps millionaire, and entitled to the
Comstock title Of Colonel, but in the alb
sence of himself and friends he is as name
less here as young buffalo,

THE WHIppING-posr

A Grand Jury in Philadelphia has re-
ported in favor of setting up the barbarous
whipping-post The report shows that
this conclusion was reached by the jury
because of its lack of manly moral back
bone. Apparently incompetent to criti-
else human nature as it is, to seek for the
causes of crime, and to apply humane,
remedial and preventive measures, in its
puerile rage against offenders this jury OF
Philadelphia's citizens advised resort to re.
taliatury measures, of which the whipping
post is of the lowest order Now the law
in well-organized society never retaliates.
1t Furnishes to protect society by warning
offenders, but it never Furnishes as a recon-
pense; it never can admit that any punish
ment can atone for the crime Crime is
never obliterated; punishment is only
meted out to make it odious. The inhic-
ton of punishment, therefore, is the exer-
else of one of the highest attributes of or
gained society, and fails in its purpose
when it is vengeful and cruel. It should
be administered with the sole idea of
shaming crime, Of creating a whole
some fear, of inspiring respect for
the law, and OF reforming the offender
But no offender is reformed by unusual
and cruel degradation. The law prevents
crime by the certainty of punishment,
rather than by its severity. Now, these
considerations are antagonistic to the
whipping post, which is vengeful, debas-
ing, unmanly, non-reformatory, and hiss
been justly styled the shrine at which the
criminal is confirmed in crime. Judge
Biddle, we are glad to note, did not allow
that jury to dispense until he had read it
in open Court merited lecture; he did not
believe in the whipping post, and be did
not think it would be for the welfare of
the community to revive such brutal
mode of punishment. 1t was against the
spirit of humanity OF the age and had been
abolished years ago in Pennsylvania. The
seyerest punishment that could be inflicted,
he added, upon the class of the offenders to
whom the Grand Jury referred would be
far better accomplished by the adoption
at the prisons of the system of the East
ern Penitentiary than any other prison
discipline. There have been people
in California vino heatedly favored
the whipping-post, and one Legislature
was found to decree its establishment.
California has many sins to answer for
1t produced Kearney, it gavelife to vicious
personal Journalism. it drove out the
friends of labor, but may Heaven defend it
from the greater excess of a resort to the
cat O. .nine.tails for the backs OF men.

UNDEN1ABLE CONCLUSIONS.

General D. S. Terry is citizen. lie
was rebel Brigadier- General. The handle
to his name which he acquired by his vaior
in seeking the destruction of the Union OF
these States still attaches. As a citizen
General David S. Terry has right to do
exactly as he pleases within thelaw. But
he is an Elector on the Democratic ticket.
To him his party asks the people to COM
nit the great trust of casting the vote OF
California for Chief Magistrate of the
Union he not long ago attempted to I'M
dermine. Now if the National Democratic
Convention had nominated the rebel COM
lnander Jefferson Davis for President, all
the States now regarded as certain for the
Democratic ticket, with Hancock at its
head, would, of course, have been regarded
as certain for Davis. Such men as ID. 5.
Terry would have supported the candidacy
of Mr.. Davis just as earnestly as they now
support that of General Hancock. Since
these are the facts-aad they are not even
susceptible of denial-it follows that Gen
eral Hancock stands in the place of Jeffer-
son Davis, and that all the elements
behind the former would have been
behind Davis and have supported him.
It follows that the selection of man to
lead party is not the selection of an In
dividual, but means the ascendency of
ideas and doctrines, and that ideas and
doctrines and not men form the capital in
trade of party This capital is found,
for the Democracy, chiefly, in the States
regarded as certain for Hancock, and
which as we have shown would have been
certain for Davis. 1t is not General Han
cock, then, who is striving for the Presi-
Dental chair, but the elements behind him.
1t is said that some Republicans will
support Hancock because he was Union
General But we have seen that in accept
ing the Democratic nomination General
Hancock breaks his record as Union
soldier, and Republicans voting for him
vote for the asceadency of the doctrines
behind him. We do not believe Repub-
licans will vote for him. There never was
a campaign without few boilers. They
serve good purpose by showing the vir-
tues of the steadfast in the stronger light
of contrast. But why should any Repub-
licans vote for General Hancock any sooner
than for General Weaver, the rag baby
candidate, whose loyalty is not even in
question? And right here let us ask, in
asmuch as it is not the man but the idea that
is in the campaign, why did not the De-
mocracy nominate man concerning whose
representative character as to the ideas
and principles at issue there could be no
doubt? Why not have nominated some of
the brave, high-minded and honest con-
federate Generals : Democracy chose Han
cock because he is Democrat, and was a
good fighter; well there are plenty of ex-
rebel Generals who are Democrats and
were good soldiers, too. No, the truth
in politics was never so concisely put as in
the statement of Mr.. Hoar-General Han
cock is the mask of the Democracy.
