of averting the evil it entails. There is no
need for any misunderstanding about either
the present or the future in this connection.
The people of the Sacramento valley will
not sit down quietly until they are buried
under the advancing debris. Ii this legis-
lation is defeated we shall instantly advise
the most energetic prosecution of the pend
ing suits against the hydraulic miners, and
no matter what San Francisco or any
other section suffers from the destruc-
ton of that interest, it will have
to go if it cannot hold back
the debris. The people of this valley are
in earnest upon this subject. They realize
the danger that impends over them. They
know that five years hence, if nothing is
done, the best lands in the valley will be
ruined, the navigation of the Sacramento
will be stopped, the city of Marysville will
be buried, and the city of Sacramento will
have the same fate before it. They know
know, too, that the Young bill offers the
only available remedy, and that it is of the
highest Importance that it should become
law. If the San Francisco press under
stood the question, it it was capable of per-
ceiving the interests of the community it
so poorly represents, it would not be found
now raising captious and pettifogging OBJ
jections to the most valuable and impera-
lively required measure of the session, or
endeavoring to prevent the application of
all effective remedies to the greatest evil
OF the time for fear of tax of one-twen-
tieth of one per cent.

A CRIME OR A BLUNDER ?

The theory that Senator Kane is per.
son OF lofty virtue appears to us to rest
upon no sufficient foundation. 1t has been
asserted, but quite gratuitously, and we do
not see that his conduct as described by
himself at all bears it out. Under what
circumstances, for example, did he give
that pledge of secrecy to the man who he
says tried to bride him? How did he come
to have such confidential relations with a
corruptionist These are not easy ques-
tons to answer. He has not answered
them at all. And until they are satisfac-
torily explained it will require far more
faith than we see any justification for, to
believe in Senator Kane. We do not be-
lieve in the kind of honesty of which he is
an example. The man who will coolly
listen to proposal to buy him, and then
promise the scoundrel who makes it,
never to betray him, may be fool,
but he may just as easily be knave
Moreover, the idea that a professional
lobbyist would put himself in the
power of man he had not sounded, as
Kanes alleged interviewer is said to have
done, is contrary to all the traditions of
the class, and one which every one of
them would scout Indignantly. Senator
Kane has made it impossible to determine
whether any such transaction as he speaks
of ever took place in reality, but il it did
take place he is doing his best to convince
the public that the lobbyist after all knew
him better than he would have the world
believe. The theory that the attempted
bribery, surprising it to have occurred,
was arranged by the enemies of the debris
bill, is in fact far more plausible one than
the inference obtruded by Kane upon the
Senate. Whether he has committed a
crime or only blunder, however, the SEN
ate owes it to its own dignity to punish
his contempt severely.

THE SEVERANCE CASE.

This case appears to have been so I'M
skillfully handled from the beginning that
1t is doubtful whether the truth can now
be got at. The Chinaman who was ar
rested, and who evidently knows all about
the fate of the missing man, has been
taken about everywhere and allowed to
hear whatever was said, and has thus been
kept fully advised of each step of the in
quiry, and could of course frame his own
excuses to suit the developments. Had a
skillful detective been put on the case
when the disappearance of Severance was
first ascertained. it is highly probable that
he would by this time have discovered the
clue to the secret, even if he had not
the Chinaman. There seems no room for
doubt as to the murder Of Severance, but
it is almost certain that several persons
were engaged in the crime, or the removal
of all traces could not have been accom-
plished so thoroughly. The incident of
the two ill-looking Cinnamon who went
over from Saucelito to San Francisco on
the first boat, the morning after the muir
der, looks like broad trail, and should be
followed. The blood and hair on the ak
should have been given to a chemist fer

THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY AND THE
STATE

We hope the Legislature will see to it
that the bill making the Agricultural So
ciety State institution becomes law
1t is bill which has everything to recon-
mend it, and nothing to object to. 1t calls
for no appropriation whatever, but it
vests very valuable property in the State,
and it makes changes in the management
-eminently calculated to benefit the CON-
munity at large. By providing that the
Governor shall appoint the Board, it at
once eliminates nine-tenths of the obiec-
tions which have been raised to the Society
in the past, for it secures a guarantee for
the thorough representation of the in
terests of every section, and it puts an
end to all jealousies and intrigues and
revenges, such as have in times pa t
entered so largely into the election
of Directors. The Governor will of
necessity seek to make the Board
as broad and as fully representative as
possible, and thus the interests of every
district will have an equal showing, and
the agricultural population will gain new
confidence in the proceedings and meetings
of the Society. The State is not asked to
take on any dangerous responsibility in the
premises. 1t is only required to put its
imprimGtr on the Agricultural Society,
and so to bring it within the provisions of
the Constitution. All who are directly or
indirectly interested in the progress and
well-being of agriculture and stock
breeding should unite to urge the bill to
passage, and we trust that it will encounter
no opposition, for it certainly is a merito-
rious and necessary measure.
