EXPRESSION
Of the Pacific Coast Press on Current
Topics

O. Topics.
WELLS The Carson Tribune calls upon
Congressman Daggett to secure, if possible.
a part of the proposed appropriation for
artesian wells for Nevada
GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE-Th Virginia
Enterprise complains bitterly that the coun-
try has done nothing for Nevada-built no
public buildings save only the Mint no
artesian wells on the desert no reclama-
ton of lands.
JoYFUL.-Thus the Los Angeles Express.
Business will resume its wonted activity ::
money will be easy and plentiful; the
farmer and stockman will thrive, and from
their prosperity all other pursuits will re-
ceive healthy impulse.
DIvIDE.-The Cotton Semi Tropic cries
loudly for division of the State, and saws
the southern part of the State has been
snubbed long enough. 1t insists that
Southern California has been trampled
upon and called bad names.
THE HoPE.-The San Mateo Gazette saws
of the Legislature Let us sincerely hope
that this new body of men will have wis
dom to do the great work before them, and
that their legislation will be wholesome,
liberal, Just and conservative.
WISE LEGIsLATIoN.-Los Angeles Her.
add 1t is well, while the adoption of the
new Constitution is being celebrated with
pealing cannon, to bear in mind the fact
that much good and wise legislation is
needed to make our new organic law an
unmixed blessing.
No RIGHT.-The Trinity Journal saws :
No Rem hlican who sunnorto tba Tb.oa:cLo
has any right to complain at the National
Committee for supporting Gorham. We
believe in Republicans running the Re-
publican machine, and not boilers or rene
gades.
EXTRA SESSION. Already it is reported
that an extra session of the Legislature
will be needed. 1t seems quite certain
that the legislation necessary to bring the
new Constitution into effect, to interpret
its obscure provisions and to reconcile its
contradictions, cannot be perfected in one
hundred days San Jose Mercury.
FEMALE SUFFRAGE.-We would really
like to see some man of sense come for
ward with reasonable reasons why women
Will any man have the impudence to say
that his mother, wife or sister is not as in
telligent as he is? Will he dare to say
that she is not las rule) much more hon
est, more moral, more decent in every way
than he iss Will he say that she would
vote for drunkard, gambler or de-
bauchee, as he does? Will he pretend
that she IS not as much interested IN good
laws, administered by clean men, as man
is ?-[Yentura Free Press.

THE MAINE METAMoRPHosIs.

While the eyes of the country have
been fixed upon Maine, that staid and
sober State has undergone metamorpho-
sis. 1t has within few days lost its long
cherished republican form of government,
and has fallen under military dictator
ship. At this moment it has neither a
Governor nor a Legislature, but General
Chamberlain, the commander of the State
militia, has read himself into commission
as acting Governor, and the State is prac.
tically in his hands. This shows how easy
it is for State to take all the steps which
lead to Mexicanization when once the first
step has been taken. Governor Garcelon
and his Council undertook to disfran-
chise the people and to put in office
Legislature which had not been elected.
From the moment that outrage was perpe-
trated everything else in the direction of
anarchy became possible. There were no
longer any checks or balances. The gov
ernmental machine was broken, and such
parts of it as continued to act only made
the confusion worse confounded At pres
ent nobody knows how the muddle will
end. The attempts of the Fusionists to
cast suspicion of bribery upon Blaine are
puerile. 1t is no doubt possible that some
fool may have attempted to use improper
methods, but it is perfectly clear that no.
body but fool would have thought of pay
ing Fusionists to resign, when they were
making the Republican game by carrying
out their programme. Of course the talk
of bribery is weak invention of the
enemy to divert attention from the
untenability of the Fusion position. But
citizens of the republic everywhere must
be anxious, not that the Republicans
should succeed through force or by illegiti-
mate ways, but that they should gain their
ends lawfully and constitutionally. If they
cannot do that, it matters little whether
they or their opponents hold the fort, for
the defeat and disgrace of republican gov
eminent will in that event be complete 1t
is to be hoped that the present military
dictatorship will quietly give place to more
orthodox arrangements, for just now the
resemblance between Maine and Louisiana
is so disagreeably close that the spectator
has to rub his eyes before he can distin-
guish between them. And when such
things were done in Louisiana everybody
at the North observed that this was due to
defective civilization.

THE WALKING WOMEN.

x-days' walking-matcleo women
% an end last night 1t was won by
creature who appeared filter for a
al than triumph, and every one of
women who had entered earnestly into
contest was completely worn out.
ese walking matches are amusing for
spectators, but they are likely to be
strous to the women who sengage in
n. Even strong men have often been
pied for life by the prolonged strain
ldent to such struggles, but men are
tilted by nature to endure infinitely more
sustained labor of this kind I'll an women.
There are physiological facts which make
It perfectly certain that no woman can
uuusrtake a long walking IN atch with
out run1ing the risk Of complete physical
collapse, and permanent and hopeless dis
ablement. They must make their account
with laying the foundation for diseases
which will render their lives wretched as
long as they endure, and which, if they are
young, will prevent them from fulfilling
the functions to which their sex is ordained.
Whether it is worth while for the chance
of winning few hundred dollars to en-
counter such dangers, is for the women
themselves to determine; but at least they
ought to know that they are putting their
health and their capacity for enjoying life,
at stake. We confess, moreover, that the
degree of pleasure derived from witnessing
one of these matches seems dubious to us.
For in the painful and laborious progress
of the competitors, in their pitiful, crippled
steps, and drawn and haggard faces, and
dull, monotonous persistence, there are
few elements of the agreeable There is
only one possible way of regarding them
after little, and that is the way in which
one regards horse races. 1t is trial of
endurance, and the creatures engaged in it
can only be ptted against one another in
cruel way. In fact, the amusement is dis
tinetly brutalizing to the spectators, and
injurious to the performers, and while it is
no doubt useless to expect that it will be
abandoned until the pedestrian craze dies
out, it is open to rational people to hope
that the craze may die out speedily.

RADIO county, says the HOUSEKEEPING mys
terry in that vicinity has been cleared up.
A raid was made on one of the herder
cabins of w. S. Catherin, when the
burglars carried off all the valuables in the
house. Sylvia, the herder, swore out a
warrant, and the Indian ranch
eria near Latrobe was searched and
most of the property recovered, be-
side other valuables stolen from
Mrs. Wilson's house last summer and
referred to in the RECORD UNION at the
time. Indian Jack was arrested, exam
ined and held. His fellow Indians pointed
him out and told all about his many
thieving expeditions.

Between the new Constitution and the
Thurman Act, the recent increase of
freights has been forced upon the railroads
of this State. As regards the Central
Pacific there is no reason to believe that
State jurisdiction will prove effectual to
compel any reduction in rates, for as we
have shown, Congress has usurped the
sovereignty ever that road completely. As
regards the branch lines which are not
affected by Congressional interference, the
present indication is that shippers will
have to take their choice between paying
increased rates between competitive
points, or resorting to other modes of ear
rage. For it ought to be plain to all
by this time that the new Consultation
has destroyed competition. 1t has pro-
hibited railroads from competing with
river OF ocean carriage. Sections 20 and
81, Article XII, have this effect. The
railroads cannot help themselves. They
must be content with way business, un-
less shippers are willing to pay the higher
rates which have become unavoidable. in
consideration of the saving in time. 1t il
both ridiculous and useless to depounce the |
