Hall moreover will contain data ample for
the justification Of whatever appropriation
Congress may be willing to make. The
objection to Mr.. Pages proposition is solely
that it threatens to postpone settlement
OF the question, probably for two years !;
and the circums tances are already such
that delay of two years may mean abso-
lutte ruin to a large number of farmers,
and perhaps may involve very serious
damage to Sacramento and MarysviIle
When the data now available are brought
together we believe that the conclusions
deducible from them, though not final nor
specific, will suffice to show the necessity
of doing promptly very considerable
something for the rivers of California, I'M
less their navigability is to lie destroyed
Whether the results of new Government
survey, extending over couple of years,
would be likely to strengthen the convic-
tions OF Congress, is, we think, open to
doubt. While such survey, moreover,
might induce Congress to adopt some COM
prehensive measures of relief, it is evident
that the present employment of such a
sum as Congressman Berry has moved for
would facilitate further remedial applica-
tions, and at the same time remove all i'm
mediate danger of injury from floods.

PREsIDEN TIAL sTRAWs. .

1t is somewhat odd that though every
body pretends at intervals to be worried to
death with politics, and though loud COM
plants are continually made of the inces-
SAINT stream OF election campaigns which
deluge the country, it is found impossible
to rest contented until the next campaign
arrives, but efforts are made to discount
and forestall it, precisely as though politi-
cal discussion was the breath of life to the
American people. For some time past the
Eastern and Western press has been doing
its best to settle the next Presidential cam
paign in advance, and the oldest devices
are resorted TO for the purpose of ascer-
tanning who is the most popular candidate
Unfortunately these experiments are de-
prived of scientific value by the fact
that every one of them is strongly
tainted by the prepossessions of the
experimenter. Does a Grant journal set
out to canvass its readers, the result is
sure to be a majority for Grant. Does
Sherman or a Blaine Journal do the same,
it finds no difficulty in making the outcome
a contribution to its favorite "Doom."
To those who look over a large number of
papers from different sections the general
effect of these straws is apt to be be-
wildering, if not amusing. That the issue
of the campaign will be influenced in this
way, however, is not probable. In mort
cases those who are asked their opinion are
not really decided. In nearly all cases
party action will govern the final conclu-
sions reached One result of thus prema.
turely parading the supposed candidates,
however, may be to kill them all. 1t is
very common political observation that the
men who are most talked OF in advance are
rarely the men who secure the nom-
nations. Candidates whose friends
are over zealous, or who undertake
to make arrangements too long
before the fateiul moment, are apt to find
that they have organized opposition as well
as support, and that they are destined to
be beaten by their very activity and per-
sistence. The strength of the strongest
candidate not seldom proves impotent for
anything more than to defeat his most
formidable opponent by putting some ur-
known man into the place he has been seek
ing for himself. Veteran politicians there
fore look with distrust upon such mani
festations as are being made at present,
and decline to commit themselves mereS
because enthusiastic newspapers have in
their own opinion settled the matter be-
forehand There are many slips possible
between the cup and the lip. and no man
living knows enough of the future to dog
Matte upon the outcome of eitheriof the
National Conventions to beheld this spring.

DrOWned-BOat Ashore.
VICTORIA, January 1Sth.-The weather for
the past five days has been mild. Continu-
Gus rains have fallen in the lower country,

There has been no communication with the
interior for fortnight. The latest arrivals
left the CaTiboo wagon road on the 30th of
December. When they left there was three
feet Of snow on Harper's range, and his cattle
were suffering severely Harper feared that
he would lose one half of his band Muir
phey started to drive SEQ head towards the
river, and had to abandon them in the snow.
G. NJ. Berk's band was in great danger. The
thermometer stood at 50 degrees below zero
at the ne-hundred-and- fifty Mile House.

PANAMA, January 10th.-The International
Commission of Engineers, under De Lesseps,
have begun the surveys from which the plans
and estimates of the proposed canal are to be

fact that he regards the Panama Canal as the

been divided into FIVE sections, to the study Of
which one or more of the engineers has been
assigned. The geological survey is under the

by other experienced workers.

THE FIRST SIGN OF RETURNING REASON

The first symptom of returning reason
given by the Fusionists in Maine ap-
peared at the session of the sham
Legislature, when one Wales observed
that if they proposed to ask the opinion of
the Supreme Court as to their legality it
would be necessary for them to make up
their minds to abide by it when it was given.
Said he: Having applied to the Court,
land finding its decision against us, shall
''we say that it is a decision of a partisan
"Court 2" This is sense, but it does not
appear to have been very heartily Endorsed.
Yet the Fusionists of Maine cannot see
that in their partisan obstinacy they are
rapidly travelling the path which led Colo
mel Tom Buford to the assassination of a
Judge for deciding a suit against him.
If it is open to anyone to ignore and set
aside judicial decisions which run counter
to preconceived ideas, on the pretense
that they are partisan, it is evident that
there can be no more law and order
Courts which are only respected when
they are on one side, can be no Courts, yet
that is what the Fusionists of Maine
would degrade their Supreme Court to.
One of these Fusionists thought they had
g better submit the questions and obtain
can answer before agreeing to
"abide by them" That is the very
madness of partisanship. And yet
these men know perfectly well that
their pretenslons have already been
completely disposed of by the Court, and
that they have nothing to expect from
fresh appeal but reafhrmation of the
utter iIlegality of their conduct. They
have no standing ground, but they are
urged on by the wire pullers behind them
to make pretense of contention long
enough to base claim of double electoral
returns upon, when the Presidential elec-
ton has been held. There can be no doubt
that the Maine fraud has had backing out
side of the State, and that the Fusionist
sham members are for the most part pup

A POOR POLICY.

Congressman Chittenden declared the
other day that the financial cry of ''Let
"well enough alone" was fallacious and
mischievous, and that it means gold for
NEW York, and silver and paper for the
''West." 1t means even more than that.
1t means silver and paper for the whole
country, and gold for no part of it. But
it is one of those cries which suit politi-
clans who are afraid to possess convictions
or to act upon them. and whose sole desire
is to be allowed to drift with the stream.
The fact that this is the Presidential year
renders it certain that the "Let well
"enough alone" policy viii prevail, and
the friends of enlightened finance must
rest content with watching the insidious
progress of evils which they are impotent
