THE DEBRIS QUESTION.

EDS. RECORD UNION: Your journal has
rightly placed the debris question as of para
mount importance to California, and has dis
cussed it more ably and more impartially than
any other newspaper. As you know, have
also paid some attention to that and kindred
subjects, but have not been able to make the
investigation the Importance of the subject
demands | have, however, examined the
several suggestions made by Others, and have
failed to find any that satisfy my judgment,
and hence l make bold to suggest very
simple plan.
II is an admitted principle of common law,
I believe, that every man must so use his
own as that it shall not interfere with or in
jure improperly of another, and shall not,
therefore, argue the question of the obligation
resting on the miner of caring for his tailings,
but come directly to my suggestions
1. Let us have a State Engineer, with
power to appoint deputies.
3. Whenever an individual or corporation
| desires to engage in hydraulic mining, let
him or it apply to the Engineer, who shall
have profile of the claim made.
| 8. The party should then give bond to
remove as much earth from the bed of the
river under the direction of the engineer, as
| he or it may in a given time wash into the
stream.
Here you have it in a nutshell. 1t would
be easy for the Engineer to determine to a
yard how much earth had been loosened on
each claim. 1t is as plain as that two and
! two make four that ii as much earth is taken
/ from the river as is put in it will not fiji up.
The miner, before he commenced work, would
! have to make two calculations instead of one.
Now his calculation is whether it will pay
him to remove the earth one time with
such a regulation if it did not pay to move it
twice the gold would remain in the HILL the
same as it does now when it is determined
that it will not pay to remove it at all.
| OF course the work OF dredging would be
on a large scale, and the miner would have
to pay simply the average price per yard,
which he could determine before be COM
menced work. The earth taken from the
river would make levees, and the river-beds
being thus made capable of carrying more
water, would scour out what is now in them.
This plan is submitted with Others. and it
may prove to be no exception to the rule that
it is easier to criticise than propose.

The NEW YORK CONVENTION.


The nomination of Grant for President
by the New York Convention of course
surprised nobody, for it was a foregone
conclusion. The only doubt which re-
manned to be determined when the Con-
vention met was whether the delegation
would be instructed to vote as a unit upon
the proposition. To this length Mr.. Conk-
ling did not so, though it was probable
that he could have done it had he wished
to do so. The result of the Convention,
however, cannot be regarded as a vindica-
ton of the machine view of the situation.
1t has proved what scarcely required
demonstration, namely, that Senator Conk-
ling is as strong in New York as Senator
Cameron is in Pennsylvania. But it
really completes the disillusionizing pro-
cess which was begun at Harrisburg,
for it shows that in New York Grant
does not possess any general popular
backing, and that his nomination must
therefore be piece of political strategy
and tactics, and not in any sense the re-
suit of a popular uprising, if it is secured.
OF course this is a highly important con-
sideration, for it involves the vital ques-
ton whether, if nominated, Grant would
prove the strongest candidate the Repub-
lican party could take up. 1t is becoming
more apparent every day that Blaine pos
sesses very great strength throughout the
West. The Pacific States are confessedly
for him. Iowa is for him. Nebraska is
for him. 1t may even prove that Illinois
is for him, for the Blaine movement is
gaining there very rapidly. Indeed, it is
evident that he leads Grant all through
the West, and it is not certain that he
has not greater following than .Sher-
man in Ohio. His supporters at
Utica were not numerous enough to defeat
Conkling, but they claimed and obtained a
hearing, and they made it clear that there
was no approach to unanimity IN the Con-
vention. If Grant can obtain the votes of
all lhe southern delegations at CnlcaGo,
together with Pennsylvania, New York,
Illinois, and one or two other States, he
can command the nomination; but it re-
mains to be seen what effect these prelim-
mary moves will have upon the Western
sentiment. The politicians will probably
not desire to ignore the drift of public
opinion, and that drift will certainly be
very clearly shown before the meeting OF
the Chicago Convention.

TIE wJFE's POWER.

Miss Kate Field had an interview with
Hepworth Dixon, the brilliant editor of
the London AaBneum, shortly before his
death. She says: tHe was exceedingly
fortunate in his domestic life. His home
was one of the pleasantest in London.
Once in conversation with him l asked
whether he thought the majority of mar
riages were happy or unhappy. Happy,
certainly. was the reply. | think most
men marry for love, and get the right
woman, with whom they are perfectly sat
isied through life. OF course, however,
there are wives who fail TO hold the hearts
of their husbands. VIII you tell me. ;
said,' in what you think is the
secret of a wonan's lasting power
what quality is it in her which
makes her hold her husbands heart
forever?' That she should be a pillow,
answered Mr.. Dixon, seriously. Il mean
that in her, as on a pillow, her husband
must find repose. He gets hard knocks
enough in the world; people stick their
sharp corners into him; they hurt his
pride or wound his sensibilities. Let him
be able to go home feeling that there, at
least, is some one who believes in him ut
terly. He has no need to tax himself, if
he is tired. She will be contented, even if
he does not tell her his best stories, or
tells her the old ones three times over.
She asks nothing OF him-but that he will
be himself. Do you think years make
such refuge of less WORTH No; man
will never stay long away from such CON-
panionship-the sincerest fattery, the most
perfect rest. )"
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-02-27

incontrovertible that this constant refer
ence to the doings of other communities,
coupled with the wholly gratuitous as
sumption that it is wise to follow such ex-
amples, is calculated to prevent progress,
to confirm error, and to cultivate very
Chinese kind of prescription. Mr.. May
struck the right key the other day when
he remarked that the question was not
whether this OF that State or this or that
Court had held SO and so, but whether the
position was reasonable and defensible.
Courts have argued on both sides Of almost
every question. In questions of economics
the legal mind appears specially prone to
fallacy. Lawyers are very rarely at all
well-informed regarding subjects OF this
kind, and their tendency to defer to author.
ity makes them easy victims of sophistry.
The only safe method in discussions of this
character is to test the arguments and
propositions advanced by the standard of
common sense, which is frequently, if not
always, far more trustworthy guide than
authority. Ii the Legislature would do
this, and cease to bewilder itself by porting
over equally bemuddled authorities, it
would probably arrive at a realization of
the fact that when once the State has taxed
everything that can reasonably be called
property, it has reached the limit of just
taxation; and that if it goes one step
further it trenches upon double taxation.
