A PLAN FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF THE
DEBRIS QUESTION.

EDS. REcoBD-UN MON !: Will you permit me
through your columns to suggest for public
consideration a plan for the settlement of the
vexed debris question-one which will give
certain and permanent relief, while doing
complete justice to all interests?
First-That the Legislature call on the n.y.
draulic mins-owners to state for what sum
they will sell to the State the mines now be-
ing worked by the hydraulic process.
Second-That the Legislature then pass a
bill submitting TO the people at the general
election in November next-in conformity
with Article XVI. of the Constitution-the
question whether they will authorize such
purchase, and the issuance of bonds therefor
to the amount agreed upon, Said purchase to
be made and bonds issued if the popular vote
shall be affirmative, and mining by the hy-
draulic process to be thereafter forever pro-
hibited in this State
Third-That the Legislature pass the
Chamberlain bill at this session, which will.
in any event, prevent the flow of debris
down the river channels for two years, and
permanently, in case the hydraulic miues are
purchased and that method CT mining pro-
hibited.
Inc State can then employ convict labor
upon or lease the purchased mines, to be
worked only BY the drifting process, or make
such other dis position of them as may seem
hest. l am satisfied that all the hydraulic
mines In the State can be purchased deduct
ing the value their water bitches Will still
have-for not exceeding SIC, 1000, 900, which
would require, to meet the interest and prin-
cipal of twenty year bonds, about 5000, geo
annual tax. or one-tenth Of one per cent upon
the taxable property of the State-a mere
bagatelle compared with the benefits &C

THF CORPORATIONS AND THE CHINESE.


The hearing of the PARROT case in the
United States Circuit Court at San Fran
cisco on Saturday developed the arguments
on both sides, as will be seen by reference
to our telegraphic columns, and the decis-
ion of the Court was not obscurely fore
Swallowed by the remarks which the Judges
made from time to time. The argument
of the Attorney General was SO singularly
exclusive of one of the main issues that
Judge Sawyer charged him with dodg.
ing that consideration and it must be
admitted that his position would have ap-
peared very much stronger had the
defense not been represented by coun-
sci. The decision of the Court
upon the question submitted to
it cannot be regarded as probIematical.
The unconstitutionality of the statute no
doubt needs to be declared in an authori-
tatiye manner, but it has never been
doubted by well-informed people at any
time. 1t has been pointed out by the
most sincere opponents OF Chlnese lmml-
grafton that however agreeable it might
be to drive out the Chinese by discriminate
ing legislation, it was quite useless to try
it, for the reason that the State had no
jurisdiction in the premises. And it is
probably just as well that the futility of
such attempts should be demonstrated at
an early day, so as at least to block the
transparent game of our demagogues, who
think to recommend themselves to the
ignorant by proposing impracticable meas
ures Of the kind.

YELLOW CATFISH.

EDS. RECORD UNION You were mistaken
in your item relative to the yellow catfish
which were caught near Snodgrass slough and
brought to your market for sale few days
since The State Fish. Commissioners in 1874
imported three varieties of catfish. First,
the Schuylkill catfish (Amiurus alJidus), OBJ
tanned from the Raritan river, New Jersey.
OF these there were seventy-six, and they
were distributed to the lakes in the vicinity
of Sacramento. All of the largest fish caught
in your lakes are of this variety. Second,
horn pouts (Pimelo3uS cdtus), from Lake
Champlain, Vermont. There were seventy
one of these. They were placed in Suffer
lake and in the San Joaquin river. When
caught and sold in your market they are
probably sold as the young of the Schuylkil
catfish. Third, the yellow channel catfish of
the Mississippi (PipeloduS ~. These were
obtained from the Elkhorn river Nebraska,
and were placed in the San Joaquin river at
the railroad bridge, near Lathrop. A record
was not kept of the probably about
twenty-five largest about two feet in length.
Several have been caught by fishermen in the
San joaquin. 1t would seem from your item
of their appearance in the Sacramento mar
ket that they are breeding and are becoming
distributed from the San Joaquin to the Sac
rsmento. The people who reside on the tribu-
taries of the Mississippi consider the yellow
channel cat very superior food fish. 1t pre-
fers clear, pure streams, and gives considera-
bic sport in catching. Those on sale in your
market were young, as the fish frequently
grows to be three feet in length. 3. Il. K.

serious HaiIroad Accident.

SEATTLE, March 6th.-WhiIe the noon
train. from Newcastle, consisting of an engine
and eighteen loaded coal cars, was crossing
the Little Lake trestle to-day, the tIestle
suddenly gave way. Robert Thorn, brake
man, and James Williams, Superintendent of
the Newcastle coal mine, who were on the
hind car, jumped from the train. Thorn had
both legs broken, and sustained, it is feared,
serious internal injuries. Williams received
psinful, though not serious. injuries about the
neck and head. Reuben Shean, the fireman,
who was on the fifth car back from the en-
CINE at the time assisting in setting the brakes
started to run across the train as thetres-
tie began to give, and fell from the next car
but one from the engine as it went down
distance of twenty feet, and, singular to say,
was upinjured. Another man, named Stew
art, from Nanaimo, went down with one of
the middle cars into the ravine, distance of
ninety feet, receiving fatal injuries. The
locomotive and first car crossed all right, but
the balance of the train, consisting of seven
teen coal cars, with few exceptions, was en-
tirely wrecked

THE CARR DRAINAGE BILL.

A bill has been introduced by Assembly
man Carr of Yuba, the ostensible purpose
of which is to secure the same results as
are aimed at in the Parks bill. 1t provides
for a Commission, consisting of certain
State officers, and it proposes to carry out
"system of drainage and protection for
the entire State" The main surface dis
tinction between this and the Parks bill
consists in the method of raising the neces-
sary revenue. The Carr bill proposes to
levy general tax of one-tenth of one per
cent, whereas the Parks bill proposes to
raise the money from the districts to be
benefited. At first sight the idea of gen.
eral tax may appear good, but this is really
the fatal defect of the Carr bill, as we
shall proceed to demonstrate. The effect
of passing a bill for system of drainage
and protection for the entire State, and
taxing the entire State for its objects, would
inevitably be to develop plans of drain
age and reclamation all over the State.
There are very few counties in which
some such scheme has not already been
preached. There are no counties having
any need of drainage in any shape which
would not insist upon being included
in the operation of the BILL There are
projects of this kind lying dormant in all
directions. Klamath, Tulare, Lake, San
Joaquin, Kern, and many other counties,
would therefore put forward claims for i'm
provements, and under a bill so framed
their claims would have to be admitted.
The result would be that while the distri-
button Of the tax levy over the whole State
diminished the available revenue in the
district whose needs are most urgent, it
would fritter away the bulk of the fund SO
raised upon enterprises which are not at
all pressingly demanded, however salutary
they may be. The necessities of the Sac
ramento valley would remain as great as
they are now, but the possibility of reliev-
ing them would be greatly diminished, and
it would be found that only modicum of
the amount raised by taxation could
be utilized for the purposes which re-
quire every dollar of it. And this
is fatal objection to the Carr bill.
The debris question is one of which the
main characteristic is its extreme urgency.
It cannot be neglected save at a cost so
heavy that no Legislative body and no body
polite can be supposed blind and reckless
enough to treat it with indifference. Nor
can it be safely played with. In his recent
report to Congress upon this subject
Colonel Mendell has insisted particularly
upon the absolute necessity for immediate
action. He says the work must be begun
this summer, without fail, and he states
that the longer it is delayed the more diff
cult will the application of remedies be-
come. 1t must, therefore, be dealt with

TIE oUAcKERY BILL.

Mr.. Yorks bill to legitimatize medical
quackery has been very properly rejected.
The arguments advanced in support OF it
were altogether unconvinciDg Even sup
posing that medical skill is, as alleged,
unsuccessful in large percentage of cases,
such a fact would afford no support to a
proposition to expose the public to charla-
tanism without any precautions whatever.
If trained physicians fail often, how much
oftener must unframed quacks fail? That
Is the logical way to put the case, and the
logical way is entirely at variance with
Mr.. York's peculiar theories. The need of
legislative restrictions upon the unqualified
practice of medicine cannot be doubted by
any who have reflected upon the subject.
1t is true that there are schools of med
ieine which scout one another's principles,
but it must be observed that all agree in
certain fundamental requirements, such as
a knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
Their disagreements relate to questions of
therapeutics, concerning which there is
undoubtedly room for considerable latitude
of opinion. They all insist upon the
necessity of special education for the
work of healing, and so long as they agree
upon that the State has perhaps the only
guarantee which it is possible to obtain in
this connection. Nor must the considera-
ton that patients will die as well under
the hands of regular physicians as under
the hands of quacks, be regarded as dem
onstrating any real identity of conditions
For in the first case the survivors have a
reasonable assurance that the death was
unavoidable, while in the second they can
not be at all certain that it was not the d.
rect result of malpractice. 1t is, we think,
sufficiently evident that the State owes it
to the community to insist upon the special
education of all who practice medicine.
That is at once the most and the least it
can require. But to remove that one safe
guard would be to expose the ignorant
classes to the inroads of charlatanism, and
to handicap them most unfairly in the race
of life.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-03-08
now in such way as to insure the inaugura-
ton and active prosecution of relief works.

-
Nor is there any room for doubt as
to the necessity of combining all present
efforts to hesecuring of projections and relief
from the debris. 1t is the rapidly proceed
ing destruction of the rivers which must
be averted. The coarser debris must be
held back in the mountains, and the river
channels must be so treated as to give
more velocity to the currents, and so enable
them to scour out their beds and to carry
the lighter sediment down to the sea.
These two operations are designated by
science as the imperative requirements
of the hour, and unless they are
both commenced, and commenced I'M
der a comprehensive and harmonious
plan, the worst consequences will
ensue. Mr.. Carr's bill affects
to aim at the same general results as the
Parks bill, and therefore those who support
it cannot he supposed hostile to the main
principles of the latter But the fiscal
provisions of the Carr bill destroy its avail
ability, by dissipating the proceeds of tax
alton over too wide an area. 1t is quite
probable that this effect was not foreseen
when the bill was drawn, but it is only
necessary to direct attention to it to make
the fact apparent that the general taxation
feature must produce the consequences we
have described. Between the two meas
ures We cannot hesitate to prefer the Parks
bill, though the latter requires some amend
ments which we have heretofore pointed
out. 1t may, indeed, be as well to state
once for all that neither this nor any other
bill can be regarded by us as satisfactory
unless it secures to Sacramento the full
control of her levee system, and provides
for the due recognition of the expenditures
she has already made in protecting herself
from inundation, in whatever. general
scheme may be adopted. AS it is quite
practicable to introduce protective clauses
of this kind into general bill without at
all affecting its fundamental principles, we
trust that it will be done before the matter
is pressed any further. With such precau-
lions and guarantees, however, the scheme
of the Parks bill would afford the best pro-
gramme yet proposed on the subject.
